Dr.

Martin birthday On tonight, a group of concerned citizens met at the East Gate auditorium, St. Joseph, Louisiana, for their first observance of Dr. King's Birthday. Last year, President Regan signed a bill that would make Dr. King's Birthday become a National holiday, becoming effective January, 1986.

We were called together for this observance by Rev. A.E. Durham, president of the T.M.B. Association. The meeting was called to order by him.

Devotion was conducted by the Ministers. There were 28 persons present. Three of whom were Ministers: Rev. A.E. Durham, Rev.

P.M. Germany, and Rev. Jimmy Williams. A historical sketch of Dr. King's life was given by Mrs.

Lucille D. Gordon. Each of the ministers gave remarks in his own way. Space was allotted for anyone who desired to contribute in any way. The music was furnished by the Tensas Community Choir of which Rev.

Jimmy Williams is president, Mrs. Daisy E. Williams is Vice president and Director, and Mrs. Ruth Jones is pianist.
