Legion Begins Drive For Jobs
PETER SALEM POST, AMERICAN LEGION BEGINS DRIVE FOR 3,000 JOBS With 3,000 jobs as their objective the Peter Salem Post, American Legion, has joined with the Jefferson Post in a city-wide drive to obtain work for Louisville's unemployed, and help bring an end to the depression. The movement, which is being sponsored by the National Organization of the Legion, has the endorsement of the best known civic, political and business organizations in the country. Legion posts in seven thousand cities are co-operating. Headed by W. O. Willis, commander, and Larry Gaines, vice-commander, Peter Salem Post is sending forty members and auxiliary members to practically every business [concern?] in the city requesting them to put one or more persons to work. The drive is being directed by J. A. Thomas, secretary of the Urban League, and J. L. Leake, manager of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company. Headquarters have been established at the Urban League office where daily reports are being made by the workers. In addition to the effort to find jobs in the large industrial and commercial concerns, the campaign workers will call on many individuals urging them to make needed repairs and improvements in their homes or small business places at this time. Small jobs of cleaning, papering, painting and yard work can be done at a very low cost and the work thus created will go a long way towards bringing back normal conditions. Several hundred unemployed persons are registered in the Urban League office, and workers of all kinds can be secured on short notice.

CROWD HEARS SPEAKERS AT WASHINGTON BICENTENNIAL By William H. Ferris The George Washington Bicentennial celebration sponsored by the Citizens League attracted the largest and most enthusiastic crowd that has been assembled during this season of celebrations. The meeting was held at the Zion Baptist Church of which the Rev. W. H. Craighead is pastor, and not only did speakers eulogize the life and characer of George Washington as the Father of His Country, but they also told of the Negro's part in the Revolution and in the development of the country, urging that colored citizens strive for the rights guaranteed under the constitution and for economic justice. Said Rev. J. M. Williams, pastor of the Lampton Baptist Church, who was master of ceremonies in opening the meeting, "The Citizens League could not have decided upon a better idea than the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of George Washington as its first public meeting. Negroes are a part and parcel of this wonderful country." Mr. W. H. Steward, the veteran editor of the American Baptist, who spoke on "Why We Celebrate The Bicentennial," enumerated the great men who were born in February: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, J. C. Price, W. E. B. DuBois, Richard Allen, and said "some people say we are Afro-Americans, others Negroes, and others colored people, but I am an American citizen, interested in everything that pertains to the development of this country. As patriotic citizens we ought to encourage patriotism. We should always honor our government and our flag, and most certainly honor the Father of Our Country." The address on "George Washington" was delivered by the Rev. W. P. Offut, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church and moderator of Kentucky Baptists, who in a most eloquent speech said that "George Washington was selected by the Almighty to be the father of Constitutional Government in the world, the father of a great country. He came on the scene as a great soldier, threw off the English yoke and then loomed as a great statesman with a broad magnanimous mind. He was a great agriculturist and owned thousands of acres of land. Had [illegible] slave that he liberated in his will when he died." Rev. Offutt also paid tributes to Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Booker T. Washington and the great Bible characters whom he characterized as God's key men. In his speech on "Crispus Attucks" Rev. B. W. Swain, pastor of the Broadway Temple A. M. E. Zion Church, said, "The blood of Crispus Attucks was the first to shed blood for American liberty. A courageous and determined young Negro who was associated with the young Irish men of Boston and who said, 'The way to get the British out is to get them out,' and with a club led a charge against the British soldiers." In her address on "Phyllis Wheatley," Mrs. Essie D. Mack, second vice (Continued on Page 4)

Doctor Welch Vesper Speaker Those who attended the vesper service  s Sunday at the Municipal College were treated to a very stimulating address by the Reverend Doctor C. W. Welch, pastor of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church. Dr. Welch took for his subject the interesting theme, "The Way to Recovery." Recovery, according to Dr. Welch, is needed in the heart and mind as well as in the body, for it is in the heart and mind that we shall find salvation for the present and future. Mankind has set up things material as the idol of his worship in this industrial age; he has made the Dollar his god, and he has no place for God. Recovery from the material, closer communion with God in our thoughts and deeds is the real way to recovery, said Dr. Welch in the course of his address.

MAMMOTH INSURANCE COMPANY PROMOTES DOSS TO AGENCY DIRECTOR It was not surprising to those who are familiar with the spirit of the Mammoth Life and Accident Insurance company to place in high positions only those who have proved their worth, when the announcement was made that Mr. A. Douglas Doss had been elected agency director of the company. A study of the life of Mr. Doss is the best evidence we have every known, or been able to produce to prove that honesty, industry and earnest effort really have their reward. It has always been an inspiration to us to hear Judge Harrison say: "It is a long way from the cotton fields of the South to the Supreme Court of the Greatest Nation on earth." Likewise would we say: "It is a long way from the cotton fields of Alabama to the Agency Directorship of Kentucky's oldest and largest business among our group--The Mammoth Life." Mr. Doss came from Alabama many years ago, bringing nothing with him but those earnest, honest traits of character which were destined to make him a leader. After working his way through Simmons University, he came to the Mammoth in 1916, beginning as agent on a debit. The officers of the company, within a very short time, recognized his ability and worth, and when a superintendent was needed, he was elevated to that position. Three years ago, when the Mammoth entered the state of Indiana, Mr. Doss was selected as pioneer in the development of the business in that state. His affable, congenial temperament soon won for him many loyal new friends, and within less than two years, he had perfected an organization --[Photo] A. DOUGLAS DOSS-- of loyal workers, and produced a volume of business in the Indianapolis and Gary districts which will rival that of the largest in Kentucky. He is a builder, a hustler, a go-getter and a developer of men. Men like to work with him and for him. The rise of Mr. Doss should prove an inspiration to every boy and girl, as his promotion came as the result of work well done from the bottom to the top. He is active in religious, civic, business and social circles. He is a devout memer of Calvary Baptist Church, conneced with the Y. M. C. A., and Louisville Business Men's League, and a member of the Menelik Club. His many friends wish and predict for him abundant success in his new position.
