O ne report reads: "In the village of (Jam sar, near T e heran, a Persian nam ed Aqa Rida, a recent convert, who had refused to re cant his faith, was throw n into the river hy a mob headed by Aqa Ahmad, son of a local Mullah, and afterw ard tied to a tree and most cruelly beaten.

The boys certainly deserved every bit of it. Bert T u rn er, the efficient, patient D irector of the Band, is due great credit for the splendid showing made by the aggregation of m usi cians. T here were m any discouraging features and many disappointm ents which were encountered by Mr. T u rn er in attem pting to get the band ready fur the carnival, but the g reatest of all was the desertion of some of the m usi cians on the eve of the parades. H ow ever, this did not daunt the intrepid leader and his loyal followers, who went right on and made a great hit. Dahlia Tem ple's Drill Team , dressed in white with their colors and banner flying high, participated in Friday's parade, and they, too, came in for a much deserved share of praise. T he Band and the D rill T eam were the only representation the colored citi- xens had in the C arnival parade and their show ing is certainly a real credit to the colored group. J.
