Oklahoma Chorus Refuses
To Sing in Fredom Train
Because of Jim Crow
OKLAHOMA CITY. (ANP).
Charging the Municipal auditor
ium with “jim crow” practices, a
Negro chorus of 100 refused to
sing in a program celebi'ating the
arrival of the “Freedom Train”
last week.
* Segregation of Negroes caused
her to withdraw the chorus from
the pageant, Mrs. Darlene Perry
McLear, the director, said.
“They wanted us to sing,” she
said, “but wouldn’t let Negroes
in the ‘melting pot’ scene or in
the statues of freedom scene.
When they decided our people
would have to sit by themselves
in the balcony, that was the last
straw.”
A committeewoman who helped
in the planning of the affair cried
“Communist inspired” in refer
ence to the singers actions.
He was following the “policy
of the land” when he segregated
the races, Jimmy Burge, audi
torium manager, said.

Meditations of a
Rev. William O. Rogers
! CLEAN HOUSE IN YOUR LIFE
! We have passed the shortesl
| day in the year. The sun haj
started on his journey northward
We are beginning to look for
ward to spring—the season ol
planting, hatching and house
cleaning
Some of us have begun already
to drag out and throw away the
junk which we have been saving
because some day we might need
it. Old newspapers with articles
we intended to clip; old maga
zines we hoped to read sometime;
the dress pattern which somehow
has become too small; out of date
books which we never read, but
kept on the shelf because they
had belonged to the late Uncle
Nehemiah.
Common sense and will power
can change a basement from a
junk pile, which you can scarcely
climb over, into an orderly, clean
room, a satisfaction instead of
an eye-sore.
Herein lies a parable of our
lives. How often we allow our
days to become cluttered with
unnecessary entanglements until
some of the important things are
crowded out.
Ellis Parker Butler once sat
down and wrote resignations from
more than a dozen organizations
Letters to
The Voice
... I am sending $2.00 to renew
my subscription to “The Voice.”
The Voice is like a letter from
loved ones and I read every word
in it. I like every department. The
Sunday School lesson by Rev.
Handy, Dark Merit by Mrs. Fav
ors, Mrs. Davis’ department con
cerning children are especially in
teresting . . . The Voice is some
thing Lincoln has long needed
and every 'Lincoln Negro should
support it and make it a great
| paper. I think you and Rever
1 end and other co-workers are
doing a great work.
God bless you and prosper you
in your work,
Mrs. Mary E. Stith,
5704 MissoUri,
Detroit 8, Mich.
* * * r
Just a few lines to let you
know we do enjoy the “Voice”
very much. You have our best
wishes for continued success
and a happy and prosperous New
Year . . . Don’t know when sub
scription was due as the paper
was sent to us by Mrs. Crews
last year.
Yours in Christ

fillister
which he had joined, all of them
good, but taking time and
strength from the vital affairs of
life.
Check up on what you give
your time and energy to, then
list them in the order of impor
tance. First comes your home,
your family. Nothing must inter
fere with your best efforts in
this vital, God-ordained respon
sibility and privilege. Next should
be your church. Some people be
gin uncluttering their lives by
dropping their church obliga
tions. This is like saving money
by having no heat or light in
your house. The church is the
influence which brings warmth
and light in all of life. When
everything looks discouraging and
life drags wearily, an hour spent
j in praising God in His sanctu
ary can clear away the clouds
and uplift your soul with a
breath of fresh, invigorating air.
Next should come whatever
you can do for your public school
and community neighborliness;
then whatever will help you and
your family work with more skill
and enthusiasm. If there is time
and strength left over for social
relaxation, well and good. It is
needed. But watch that your life
does not become a junk pile.
“The good may be the enemy
of the best.”

enjoy your publication and am
glad to have this bond between
your race and mine coming into
my home each week.
Yours for continued success,

The Abraham Lincoln Friendship Train will steam out of Lin
coln February 12 with dozens of cars of foodstuffs contributed by
generous Nebraskans for overseas relief, reports reaching the Lincoln
office of the Train indicated today.
Adding impetus to the drive was the announcement by Drew
Pearson, Washington columnist and sponsor of the first Friendship
Train, that he would contribute $5,000 left over from that Train to
the Lincoln project.
Meanwhile, reports of contributions continued to flow in from
all over the state.
Tom Anderson, Auburn, said the Nemaha county committee fgt
the Train had raised $1,000, one-fourth of the county’s goal. The
Women’s Society of phristian Service of St Paul’s church in Lincoln
contributed $100. All money received will be used to buy food for
the Train.
The Mary Bethune Literary and Art Club made a contribution
at their regular meeting Thursday.
Other clubs, churches and organizations are urged to make a
contribution and share in this worthy cause.
The above coupon is for your benefit.
