OBSERVATIONS
An 18 year old senior at Har
vard University, by the name
ot Henry C. Everett, the son of
a prominent colored family of
Columbia, South Carolina, Dr.
and Mrs. B. A_ Everett, took a
photo of himself in hip Little
Hall dormitory room.
Y o u|n g Everett’s ingenuity
stamps him a§ a young man with
ideas, amlbition and resourceful
ness. He didn’t make the foot
ball team, nor did he try because
he was interested in obtaining an
education in some of the techni
cal branches which are opened to
youths who exercise their brain
and talent to attain a place for
therm selves and their people. He
is a lensman, aviation student,
social service worker of no little
ability.

may create interracial nmest. It
is the ever-present color question
which has grown to become a
Hydra-headed monster, for it
not only creates disturbances
between races, but has long been
a boogie-boo of the black race
itself; for among us ane people
of many hues, from light to
dark and -many social barriers
are raised in different sections
of the southland, by the light
hued Negroes, against the darker
ones. Such a prtictice was quite
prevalent for a long time in the
states of I-ouisiana, Mississippi,
Georgia and the Carolinaa Let’s
kill this color question 'by first
cleaning house, ourselves.
Tenant farmers, evicted from
their homes to the number of
about 400, and living in tents
and make-shifts shelters, are
iow being cared fior by the Red
Cross Society a t Arkansas.
Theirs is a sad plight, and some
what similar to that of the Dust
Bowl refugees who migrated to
California, but in the case of the
latter, they found a haven of
both protection and occupation,
in the San Jacquin Valley where
the Gotten farmers offered high
er prices for cotton picking than
did southern planters, but the
evicted colored tenant farmers of
the southland are appreciative
of whatever help has b»en given
them, while the “Dust Bowl’’ re
fugees, have allowed labor agi
tators to create unrest and dis
satisfaction. They have instituted
strikes and are demanding higher
pay fron the peopij who receive
and succored them. What is
gratitude ?
Higher education and more ■
civil service jobs and posilions
are being urged for the Negro
and in this I see future salvation
of this great minority group. If
this call is answered, it will
prove to be more valuable than
just becoming bandleaders, foot
ball players and pugilists, for
the above field is limited to oniy
a chosen few. California offers
a splendid opportunity to Negro
armers under the guidance of
some well trained, educated in
structor from students out °f

The opening up of several
schools for the study of avia

doubt creating a new field of
opportunities for him. The ac

of a federal judge, awarding

wedge by which Negroes in the

There i» no condition that His

life, it brings me out with joy
unspeakable. The beauty and con
solation which comes after while
is a source of rejoicing. When
there seems not a ray of light,
and the darkness gathers thick

God, is to be calm uncomplaining
and at peace in my soul. Not to
murmur or find fault is one of
my greatest assets. My Christian

SWINGIN’ THE DREAM 'IN
PREMIERE—A HIT!
by Ted Yates
New York (C) Whether the ‘a
Ueged” title of ’’King of Swing”
belongs to any particular one of
the band maestrog, many of
whom have been highly overated
it wag definitely shown to a pack
od house first nighters audience
at the Center Theatre here last
Wednesday night (November 29)
at the premiere of Erik Charell’s
“Swingin’ the Dream,” that Ben
ny Goodman is tops. That is,
when you are rating the ofay
swing-frenzied exponents of the
modern version of jazz. But,
Goodman shared only one third
of the credit for making “The
Dream” that came true a night
mare for Bill Shakespeare, as
those that know will tell you.
Wise First Nighters will tell
you that Louis “Saehmo” Arm
otrong and Maxine Sullivan came
through with the plaudits of the
theatre crowd.
Supported by Eleanof Lym.-n
and Boyd Crawford, the enst of
one hundred with “BG”, Saehmo
and lovely Maxine (who, incident
ally, is doubling at the Cotton
Club), the pwing version of “A
Midsummer Night’s Dream” pro
duced by Erik Charell and Jean
Rodney with several Goodwnn
comopositions is New York’s lat
est “Mu,st” on the list of shows.

A LETTER FROM FATHER
FLANAGAN; DON’T FAIL TO
READ IT!
front page I
My Dear Friend:
The following paragraph i«
taken from a letter I recently
received from one of our boys
who graduated in 1926:
“The thousands of boys who
have gone out into the world
from Boys Town understand and
know,, they are making good be
cause you took them in when no
body else wanted them, and gave
them a chance and a new outlook
on life.’’
This young man is now the
owner of a successful business
and the father of two fine child
ren. His letter was accompanied
by his check for $10.00—a sub
stantial amount for a hard work
ing young business man. What
finer Christmas present could any
one make to themselves, as well

as to these unfortunate homeless
boys who are here because “no
body else wanted them.’’
Almost 6,000 boys have come
to Boys Town from forty-five
States, representing all religions
and races. But, we have not been
able to take care of all who ap
peal to us. 1,300 were turned
away last year and over 1,000
up to date this year. What will
be the fate of these poor boys
who could find no room here?
To relieve this heartbreaking
situation, we have been cnvpelled
to build four dormitories and a
dining hall, that we might be able
to take these poor boys in and
develop them into relf-teliant
citizens instead of failures. We
nre building on faith—faith in
the American people who will en
able us to pay for these buildings.
I need friends now more than
ever before in my life!
With sincere good w'^hes on
behalf of my boys and myself
for a most happy happy Holiday
Season, I am
Gratefully yours,
Father Flanagan
P. S. When your contribution
is received, I will send you a
fine booklet containing the his
tory of Boys Town, illustrated
with thirty-five pictures of our
buildings and activities. As a
token of my personal apprecia
tion, I will autograph this book
let for you.

Crackpot ideas parading under
the gui»e of patriotip-m and
“Amreicanism” are more dan
gerous to democracy than allied
"isms,” Dr. Dayton Heckman,
expert on public opinion at th»
University of Omaha, said today.
“Many of our heme grown
madcaps are real threats to
democracy because they are able
to appeal to people by manipula
ting the familiar slogans and
symbols of American hptory and
tradition,” the political scientist
declared.
“These perv.erted patriots try
to peddle hatreds and quackery
to the American people by flaunt
ing the flag, distorting American ,
history, and invoking the names j
of the Founding Fatherg and
other national heroes.
They laud the OorptHVtion
but forget the Bill of Bights in
the Constitution guarantees to
every person freedom arid tn’c
anco regardless of race, creed or
color.”
The University of Omaha pro
fessor assailed “perverted pa
triots” who argue that the right
; to vote should b restricted on th ■
j 1>hs',s of property or personal
qualifications.
j “Such a proposal is we1I-*uitel
to a Hitler, or a Stalin, but it
violates the spirit ol American
democracy and is contrary to the
philosophies! of Jefferson, Jack
son, Lincoln and the other great
American democrats.”
Other typical activities of the
lunatic fringe in the United
States according to Dr. Heckman,
are “Red-baiting,” and “witch- !
hunting”; fomenting of race
hatreds; attacking the “interna
tional financiers” who allegedly
are engaged in some nebulous .
plot to subjugate the world;
ndvocating extravagant old-age
pension schemes wildcat econo- ;
mic panaceas and other so-called
“remedies” for social ills.

A Prominent Business
Woman Praises Mme.CJ.
Walker’s Preparations
"I use Mme. C. J. Walker's
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
, the market, they are growing
| increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won
derful preparations are sold by
Walker Beauticians and Drug
Stores everywhere, or you can
