Willis Cole spent the last week-end at the Waddy Hotel, West Baden, Ind. 1931 CAMPAIGN MEETS FAVOR The announcement of the Leaders' 1931 subscription campaign last week has created an unexpected interest for the first week following the announcement. Several have been nominated as candidates in the campaign which the public looks forward to each year The Leader's special subscription efforts began back in 1918 with $50.00 as the capital prize and cash prizes of one hundred dollars are more were offered each year until 1923 when the automobile was offered as the capital prize and since that time 16 automobiles and hundreds of dollars in cash and commissions have been given to those participating in the campaign, and cars and cash have been sent to successful candidates in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and North Carolina. The 1931 campaign which begins April 8 and closes June 10 offers the Greater Hudson Eight and the new Essex Super Six as capital prizes to the persons reporting the largest number of votes represented by yearly subscriptions to the Leader, cash prizes of $100, $50 and $25 and commission of 10 per cent to all those who fail to win one of the five prizes. Full information about the campaign is given on page 12. NOTED LECTURER TO SPEAK HERE The Inter-fraternity forum will meet at the Y.W.C.A. Sunday, March 22, at 4 p. m. The program committee has been most fortunate in securing Mr. S. T. Weygold, a student of Indian culture, to present one of his lectures which has pleased many audiences. Mr. Weygold is considered one of the best informed contemporaries on various phases of Indian life. An added touch of color is given by the beautiful creations of Indian tapestries, and specimens of pottery with which he illustrates his lecture. It is hoped a large crowd will be present to receive Mr. Weygold. As an added feature the popular [Kappa?] quartette will sing several selections. At this meeting final arrangements will be made for the motorcade which will leave Louisville April 12, for Frankfort where President Atwood will be host at an inter-fraternal tea. Needless to say, hospitality reigns supreme on the hill, and all who are fortunate enough to take advantage of President Atwood's invitation will be well rewarded by spending a very pleasant afternoon. Dr. J. G. Robinson of Philadelphia, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, was a visitor in The Leader offices Thursday morning and inspected the plant. He was accompanied by Dr. J. C. Caldwell, pastor of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church where Dr. Robinson is now conducting evangelical meetings, and Rev. D. S. Ransaw, pastor of Young's Chapel A. M. E. Church. ANNOUNCES FOR PRESIDENT OF K.N.E.A. [Photo] D. H. ANDERSON Prof. D. H. Anderson, president of the West Kentucky Industrial College at Paducah is a candidate for the presidency of the K.N.E.A. at the 1931 session. On two previous occasions Mr. Anderson has made a very close race. His friends over the state are enthusiastic in again sponsoring him for the next president of the K.N.E.A. In announcing his candidacy, he wrote Secretary A. S. Wilson as follows: Dear Secretary, "In response to the requests of friends in the field of education, I hereby this note, announce my candidacy for president of the K.N.E.A., to be elected at the next session, which convenes April 15 to 18, 1931, at Louisville, Ky. If elected, I shall do all in my power to execute the will of the Association." Yours truly, D. H. Anderson. The friends and supporters of Mr. Anderson are of the opinion that he deserves the consideration of every Kentucky teacher because of his efforts in building the College at Paducah and his interest in the education of the Negro youth in Kentucky. AMERICAN WOODMEN [COMMITTEE?] ANNOUNCES MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN The membership campaign committee of the American Woodman, Mrs. N. J. Brown, Clerk; C. B. Preston, Commander, and C. C. Trimble, District Commander, makes the following public statement in announcing this annual membership drive which began Monday, March 16. "Every man and woman who is eligible in health and age, is invited and should take advantages of this unheard of before opportunity, to join this great organization, which has made such a wonderful contribution to our city and state, as well as has made, and is yet making such a helpful reputation for itself as an organization, and reflecting a great credit upon our race group, as being the successful owners, and intelligent managers of the best example of the race's biggest business. While thousands of the best citizens of Louisville, and adjacent cities joined the American Woodmen years ago, and in many cases carry their whole family protection in the Woodmen, right by the side of these, are men who could have joined then and can not join now because of age and infirmities. Don't let the same thing happen to you. You see to it that your wife, husband, son or daughter joins today, and take one of our special [$3,000.00?] policies, or more if you choose to make it more. Tomorrow may be too late. Just stop and think (Continued on page 2) Bank Campaign Starts Volunteer Speakers Take Field for Citizens Cooperative Movement A hundred volunteer speakers will take the field Sunday morning to carry the program of the Citizens Cooperative Bank Campaign into every church and mission in the city. These speakers will inform the people of the services which Mutual Standard Bank is rendering to the community and urge the importance of the popular support for the institution. A large public interest in the campaign was demonstrated Thursday night when a [capaeit?] crowd filled the assembly room of the Domestic Life building to hear plans announced and to offer their services Short addresses by J. A. Thomas, A. L. Garvin, J. R. Ray, J. O. [Blanton?] and Miss Nellie Frye [cait?] with different phases of cooperation which the people may give the [bank?]. Mr. Thomas was especially impressive in his appeal for support frome very element of the [race?] to the end that Louisville may soon have not the second largest bank in the world owned and controlled by colored people. Preliminary arrangements have been going forward for the past three weeks under irection of J. B. Cooper, general chairman and H. C. Russell, [excentive?] director in charge of the campaign office. An office force has worked overtime addressing letters, preparing literature, compiling prospects, and getting out publicity for the big city drive. It is confidently expected by those in charge that public attention will be entered on the bank to a degree unequalled in local history. Not only do the campaigners hope to secure new and larger business for the institution, they expect that such a wave of good will be [illegible] as to be of lasting benefit to the bank and the race. The campaign will extend from March 21st to April 15th.
