Our most sincere gratitude is expressed to Rear Admiral Town- er and Captain Murphy for provid- ing a means of transportation to these monthly picnics. If it were not for their splendid co-operation these picnics could never be held.

These boys helped keep the Center clean and carry on the good work that is‘necessary in building a home away from home. Together they have put in more than 1,000 hours of work in the past two months. The Center is packed with boys and girls each night. It is an established law that they leave at 11:00 p. m. and this is carried out religiously, The general public should ap- preciate the Center as it furnishes clean wholesome recreation for the young people and helps parents know just where to find their youngsters, The Center has helped greatly in cutting down juvenile delinquen- cy. If it were not for the kind con- sideration of the Community Chest, the Center could not operate. Con- tribute whenever possible to the chest as it supports your Center. Young as well as the old enjoy the kind hospitality of the Center. The Good Samaritan Lodge held its annual observance at the Cen- ter Sunday. The boys and ships that have gone away will be greatly missed by the Center. We shall, however, look forward to seeing them in January.

Malan's regime has failed again to put through legislation designed to take the 38,000 Colored voters in Cape Province off the common re- gistration roll. Sitting in joint session, Parlia- ment cast 128 votes in favor of the bill-part of Malan’s racial se- gregation program to 42 against, But the tally fell 10 short of the two-thirds majority .needed for a constitutional change. It marked the fifth defeat Ma- lan has suffered in the courts and Parliament in three years in his efforts to alter the Colored regis- tration. It was the closest government has come to passing the measure, This time the bill was modified to leave presently registered Colored voters on the common roll but as- sign those qualifying in the future to a separate register.
