THE KEY WEST CITIZEN COLORED COMMUNITY NEWS Page 7 WINIFRED SANDS JOHNSON, Editor 2-282 EASTER MONDAY PARADE} SHOWS 100 PCT. INCREASE The Easter Monday Parade was a grand success. The attendance was over 100 per cent greater than that of last year. Hundreds of children turned out in beautiful attire suitable to the occasion. For many years, the St. Joseph Catholic Aid Society has sponsored the parade as its only fund raising activity. With this money, aid is given to the needy and money is put into the treasury to meet e- mergencies that may arise in the organization. The Society is deeply grateful to the Chamber of Commerce for hav- ing shown interest in the parade and for the many gifts awarded by the various merchants through. the efforts of the Camber. It is the hope of the Society that the Chamber of Commerce and other interested white citizens will show the same spirit towards the parade in the years to come. To all those who worked, the So- clety is deeply grateful. : Since this year’s overwhelming crowd was so much more than the Society has had to cope. with, a bit of confusion arose. Such, however, is to be expected when such an un- expected crowd attends. ‘The personnel wishes to go on record by saying that next year’s parade will be better planned and an early announcement of winners made. Judges for the contest were Mrs. Grace Mrs. paper. WALTER MICKENS POST RECEIVES INVITATION .. The V.F.W., Walter Mickens Post Fe a received an invitation JOHN E.

School On Friday, April 3, the pupils of Douglass School were favored by a visit of Madam Seth of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Madam Sahara made her first visit to this country in 1917. She became a citizen of the United States and remained in New York City until 1931. She then returned to Ethiopia with a decision to stay, but the Italian invasion of 1935, brought her back to New York City where she remaired un- til 1952. In 1952, the Emperor, Haile Sel- assie, hearing of M: Sahara’s visit to her native land invited her to the palace to tell him of the! fabulous land called America, He so fascinated by her story and the wonderful work that is being done in this country, that he asked Madam to try to interest Colored technicians in coming to Ethiopia to bring scien:ifie infor- mation to this ancient land and help repair many of the dama- ges that resulted from the Italian invasion. It is in this interest that Madam Sahara is touring the country speaking at high schools colleges. W. Allen, pastor and at the church of The God of Prophecy. She will be heard on Sunday night at Cor- nish Chapel A. M. E. Zion Church. ‘CORPORAL CAROL son of Mr. and Mrs. Caro!

(Dance At Service Center Patronized By The dance given at the Service Center on Easter Monday was well attended. Over three hundred Teenagers were there to enjoy the festivities. It is quite encourg- ing to the men m service that the Youth of Key West can so very well appreciate having some place to go for wholesome recreation. If such interest continues to be shown, it will be absolutely neces- sary to make additions in the hear future. | Credit needs to be given to the) 4 regular meeting of William} chaperons who so willingly give of their time that the young people may have a few little pleasures.
