SPEAKER AT CLOSING MEET
OF CARTER CHARITY CLUB
CALLS FOR UNITY OF NEGRO
LEADERS
Addressing the closing meeting
of the Carter Charity Club, Mr.
Devereaux Jr. called for greater
unity of Negro Leaders in - our
community at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. C. C. McDonald, 2219 N.
29th St, Thursday evening, June
6th.
Mr. Devereaux Jr. said that
weak leadership on the part of
some of the community leaders
has opened the community to prey
and exploitation by other groups
and individuals. That bickering
exists on every hand and that co
ordination and cooperation on
comunity projects has been lack
ing, thus robbing the community
of many opportunities to move
forward.
Mr. Devereaux presented the
following examples of this disun
ity: Our boys and girls are for
ced to go elsewhere when they
have finished their education be
cause of the fear on the part of
the leaders in our community; if
they are appointed to similar
work such leaders’ inefficiences
might possibly come to light. The
young people are kept from giv
ing back to the community new
methods new ways, and new ideas
of solving our many community1
problems all because of personal
selfishness and lust for power on
the part of some of the commun
ity leaders. The lack of a modern
Community House complete with
swimming pool, gym. club rooms, |
and auditorium a project which
was introduced into our city coun
cil way back in 1940 but because
of the fear on the part of the
community leaders that there was
not any personal glory in it for
them if such a project was esta

I blished, and up to this day the
need for such a Community House
modern in every respect, *is grow
ing ever acute with our expanding
community, and as a final exam
ple of disunity Mr. Devereaux Jr.
cited the three members of the
community running for the legis
lature of the 5th District for the
second time.
The community must arouse it
self and demand of these leaders
to either perform the work they
are dedicated to do less our com
munity continues to suffer set
backs or get down and be re
placed.
Mr. Devereaux Jr. commend
ed the ladies of the Carter Char
ity Club which was organized 23
years ago with Mrs. Ardena Wat
son as th£ first president, for the
unity, coordination and coopera
tion manifested down through
these many years. He further
stated that such unification as
this is needed by the Negro lead
ers of Omaha in the Political,
social, and economic life of the
community and until that unifi
cation is forthcoming the commu
nity progress will be stifled.

“SUGAR CHILE” ROBINSON
WAS GUEST OF MRS. LaCOUR
Mrs. Rose LaCour of 2421 Maple
St., had an honor and pleasure
which many Omahans would have
given much for, when Frankie
"Sugar Chile" Robinson stayed at
her home when he appeared in O
maha for an engagement at the
City Auditorium Sunday June 9th.
With him at Mrs. LaCour’s home
was his aunt and guardian Mrs.
Gladys Robinson and his small
sister Dorothy.
Aside from his wonderful mus
ical talent ‘‘Sugar Chile” is an ex
ceptionally intelligent little boy.
His every day conversation is al
most on adult level. Mrs. LaCour
after having “Sugar Chile” in her
home for a time was in her own
words “almost heart broken to
have him leave. He was an ador
able child.” The now famous
hands she said ‘‘are very small
and cute. He wears a ring and a
wrist Watch.”
Conversations with “Sugar
Chile” were always stimulating.
He is very quick and always has a
perfect answer besides having a
charm all of his own.
During a conversation with the
famous little boy Mrs. LaCour ask
ed him when his birthday was. He
answered that he was a Christ
mas package, but not to be sold.
His birthday is December 26.
i In a walk through Mrs. LaCours
garden he stopped and looked at
some coriopsis, a yelow daisy-like
flower, Sugar Chile looked at
them for a moir. it and then ob
served that he had never seen
such large dandelions before.
Mrs. LaCour spoke many words
of praise for the little boy and
said that he is a credit and a
pleasure to the race. She received
an autographed picture from the
little boy and also separate auto
graphs.
From Omaha "Sugar Chile"
will go to Pittsburgh, Penn., for
his next engagement.
