For years the Comus affair has been a strictly invitational and almost a closed ball. In­ vitations axe not transferable and, at moat times, you have to turn cartwheels to get one, if you are not on the regular mail­ ing list, Even then the list Is kept down to the barest mini mum. Each members gets only 10 invitations. Several club members and their wives had taken suites in the hotel so that they would dress on the spot, and many con­ tinued the party there after the Ball Itself broke up. One of the unusual facets of. the club dance la the pretence of as many as four generations Of the same family there, some­ times stemming from great gand- fatber to a teenager. For years Cornua members have kept the membership within the families that were the original founders- and many of these families are themselves related to one an­ other. TV .

Pinn, Jr., had been afflicted all his life and which was the ultimate cause of his death. This dis­ ease which causes extreme ten­ dency to bleeding had been the bane of Rev. Finn's exls&nee all through college and his life. A pulled tooth which ordin­ arily is a trivial matter, was. to him a matter of life and death. Ten years ago he had had a brain as well as a stomach hem­ orrhage which caused him ter­ rible pain. He had been to Col­ I umbia Presbyterian Hospital at least 28 times and. In fact, had I coma to consider It his second home. Ha remained In terrible I agony for • week before he died, Wednesday, Jan. 2, although he said it was only a headache | when his wife and four children! went to visit with his father In | Springfield Gardens. I I I I I Despite the' terrific handicap of his illness, Roy Pinn was a brilliant student at Virginia Un­ ion University and, later, at Hunter College, according to those who knew him, and a man with an innate gift for preach­ ing. One minister at the funeral stated that Rev. Sandy R. Ray, who did the eulogy, had done more than anyone else to assist Pinn in his ministry. When he died he was assistant pastor at the Salem Baptist Church in Brooklyn, although be did most of the executive work as pastor. Rev. Walter Storrs, actual pastor of Salem Mid “Pinn was well liked, a splendid preacher and a man with a tendency to work things out to suit himself." Mrs. Pinn added that the of­ ficials of the church had begged Rev. Pinn not to leave Calyary, but he was determined then to leave, and that neither his fath­ er's plea nor the Intercession of the deacon board could stop him. KITCHEN NOW for your home Why Wait?

NAME_ Aooacss- CXTV_____ -2ONC_____STATE__^_ AN-1 one dose to him cared. So many backs were turned coldly, and without forgiveness, because they had no heart. They could have helped this man. The companionship that every­ one needs—too was sadly miss­ ing. Parties, good times, constant nagging that he had not done enough for them, vindictiveness— these things took the place of the companionship they could have shared with this man who really longed for this. They will never know how deeply they tore at this man’s soul. So called friends used their tongues as spears to prick the flesh and the heart of this man, knowingly and unknowingly. They too could have helped, and with the same effort or even quite a bit less. Maybe they could not see the depth of desperation they were subjecting him to. Perhaps they can see now. Tragedy stalked this man’s life In so many ways. He accepted all of this without complaint or telling anyone except extremely close friends. There were few of these. The pressures of the dis­ ease he suffered, along with all of these things were accepted by him with humility and amazing courage. He fought back with all that was within, and learned to suffer—yet control thia disease with amazing agility, even beyond the comprehension of learned medical minds. He had learned the suffering with humility, the control and the limitations of this disease because he had God on his side, and reason and pur­ pose in view. As a result of this he became A brilliantly productive and useful citizen. In latter years, the pressures of everyday living seemed to mount and even loom unsur mountable. He battled with them with the same kind of coarage he used to fight his disease; but this was his losing battle. He still fought however, beyond rea son and purpose. He grew tired How long can a man fight? To everyone who has someone dose, anywhere — don’t take judgment in your own hands The unspoken words he held for so long within would be “LET ALMIGHTY GOD BE THE JUDGE”. God is (ha only one with enough wisdom to know a man's heart and soul. He should be the only one to decide. Had Don’t mistreat them for one day. man not taken judgment against this man in hi« own pitiful way. a man might have lived, who last week died, because no one close to him cared. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE. This letter is being sent in the hopes that it will help someone else. When you publish the -an­ nouncement of REV. W. ROY PINN’S death, can you put this in a column beside it? This is a true situation written by a sincere friend of the deceased. These are the words that wretched his soul, that he couldn't tell anyone. May­ be it will help someone else. I hope so. Thank you ALFRED D. LERNER, SENATOR WALTER S. COOKE, Assemblyman, Uth A.D., Queens. 11th S.D., Brooklyn. -Lawmakers (Continued From Page 21) President of the Borough before his election to the Assembly In 1948.
