Saturday, April 4, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 7 COLORED COMMUNITY NEWS CATHOLIC SOCIETY SPONSORS PARADE EASTER SUNDAY It is the hope of the entire Colored population that this year’s Easter parade be the biggest and best in the entire history of Key West. Mrs. Grace Palacios, president of the St. Joseph Catholic Aid So- ciety, which annually sponsors this fund raising activity is sparing no effort that will make this event something long to be remembered. It is urgent that all parents al- low their children to participate as many useful and valuable gifts will be awarded to winners. _ The Chamber of Commerce is working along with the Society to see that the event will be success- ful and is responsible for the gifts that will be awarded. New York City is noted for its Fifth Avenue Easter Parade. Let our city be noted for its Colored Easter Monday Parade! Since the white citizenry is so interested-in this affair, it stands to reason that Colored citizens as well should be interested. You may well afford to put on your beautiful Easter bonnet and your loveliest gowns as pictures will be made as the parade moves along the streets. Don’t forget the Easter baskets. It is upon this item that the greatest stress is always placed.

Easter: A Time For Resolutions If you have been somewhat slow in attending your church, Easter is a good time to make a resolution to make a change in your attitude towards Christianity. Resolve that you will go to church more often. With Catholics, to make one’s Easter duties is compulsory. For, if a Catholic fails to make his Eas- ter duties, he is not in the good graces of the church. Even though you are not a Catholic, you may well consider yourself not in the good graces of your Church if you fail to attend. 1011 Whiteheed Street MEAT and GROCERIES GRACE WALKER SHOES EXCLUSIVELY aT pees — Air-Conditioned For Your Comfort “Calm Yourself” To Be First’ S.S.ClassHas [Of 2: Plays By Douglass Srs.
