GREATER MIAMI URBAN LEAGUEThe Greater Miami Urban League closed its seventh

annual activities on Thursday evening with a TestimonialBanquet in the Flamingo Room of the Mary Elizabethhotel. The banquet was quite a success. During the even-ing Officers for the year 1952-53 took over their duties.The hew president is Mr. J. E. Preston, a prominent Mi-amian. who has been a very active member and officer ofthe League since its organization

One of the highlights of the anniversary activitieswas the meeting on Sunday at Bethel AME Church withMr. Walter. H. Aiken of Atlanta, Ga., as the • principalspeaker. Mr. Aiken is a very successful business man. Hisaddress on “More and Better Economic Opportunities ForAir*was practical and interesting. The audience was not Ias large as it should have been, but it was a representativeand appreciative audience.

On this occasion three Miamians, Dr. A. W. Henry,Dr. William A. Patterson Jr , and Dr. Kelsey L. Pharr,were awarded certificates for outstanding achievements.

Dr. Homer L. Pearson of the Jackson Memorial hos-pital who presented certificates to Drs. Henry and Pat-iterson, spoke as follows:*. .

“n is a privilege and honor to be permitted to par-!ttcipate in these exercises.

“The men whom we are honoring are but few of thevast number, who thru their untiring efforts, their pa-tience and their prayers, have made this advance possible.They, too, are recognized for their part in this advance-ment in human relations.

“Many members of the medical profession in the Southhave for years realized the unfairness of racial discrim-ination in any form but especially in matters of science.We know that we have no monopoly on brains, brawn norbeauty. We felt that the only way to have a change wasto do something about it. So several years ago, it was mygood fortune to be appointed chairman of a committee ofthe Florida Medical Association to formulate plans to•open the doors of organized medicine to those of all races.It was heartening to me to find here in the Deepest South jthat there was such whole hearted approval of the planAs you all well know, we not only opened the door to or-ganized medicine but in so doing, the doors to staff mem-bership to several of our best hospitals were also opened.It was my pleasure to recommend both the physicians wehonor today to the governing bodies of these hospitals forstaff appointment. They have also been recommended forstaff membership at Jackson Memorial hospital, and asour departments become better organized they will beadvanced to more active positions in their respectivespecialties.

r “You have other Negro physicians here who will beeligible for staff appointments, but all will not be eligible,because to receive these appointments a doctor mustachieve and maintain certain high standards in' profes-sional and ethical conduct. Dr. Henry and Dr. Pattersonhave these qualifications—besides that, they have demon-strated to me so many times in their lives and work thetruthfulness of the passage which reads, ‘He that exaltethhimself shall be abased; but he that humbleth himselfshall be exalted.* Through their honesty, integrity, pa-tience, humility, intelligence and the high ethical stand-ards they have maintained, they have exalted themselves.May their lives continue to be such that they may ever beshining lights in this community.

It is an honor, pleasure and privilege to be allowedto present to these my friends this certificate of merit.**

Miss Florida Mae Murray, in very appropriate words,made the presentation to Dr. Pharr.

The Miami Times congratulates these gentlemen uponthe recognition given them.
