DUNHAM, TALENTED MUSICIAN IS GUEST OF DORIS NEWLAND Omaha is indeed fortunate in' having as its guest the talented Miss Camille G. Dunham daughter of Rev. and Mrs. O. C. Dunham. Columbia, South Carolina, and niece of Dr. and Mrs. Robin I. Bennet of New York City. Miss Dunham’s special talent lies in the field of music and her studies in that area were begun at the age of four by an interested mother who gave her her very first piano lessons. By the time she was nine, i she was playing for her church I choir. When Miss Dunham was twelve. she was transferred to Mrs. Rollin Green of Columbia under whose direction she remained until grad-' uation from Booker T. Washing- I ton High School. In high school, | she assisted the music director by accompanying both glee clubs and the double octette. She also sang in the high school chorus. After graduation from high! school she entered Bennett College at Greensboro. North Carolina,' where she took a major in music, which consisted of a thorough study of the piano as well as courses in theory, orchestration, and education. These latter cour ses prepared her for teaching, both privately and in the classroom. In her junior and senior years at Bennett, she concentrated on the pipe organ, a complicated device consisting of more than 1600 pipes, three rows of keys, a keyboard op ■nted by foot, and as many as fifty stops. Also she was accom panist for famed Bennett Choir md director of the Senior Chorus of twenty-five voices. She was fortunate in having such wonderful college musical in structors as Orrin Clayton South ern II now at Dillard University, New Orleans, Louisiana; Miss Gwendolyn Belcher, New York City and Miss Marion Thacker of Greensboro, North Carolina, both presently studying at Columbia University; David W. Holland, De troit, Michigan; and Nicholas Ger ring, Kansas City, Kansas, who studied and lived in Russia for se veral lears. During the summers that she lived in New York, she continued her studies under the capable in struction of Miss Belcher. Miss Dunham has worked on many original compositions. Am ong some of them are several po pular songs all of which she plans to have copyrighted and published by fall. One of her songs, “It's Needless to Say Forget’’, copy righted recently, was written when she was in high school, and highly admired by Jimmie Lunceford who wishes to ntroduce the song as soon as Miss Dunham desires.

The American Friends Service Committee represents the Religi ous Society of Friends (Quakers) in national and international fields of social action. The Committee was founded in 1917 to carry on relief and post war reconstruction in Europe. It has since been en gaged in many projects here and abroad to promote international and industrial understanding, and to offer opportunities for construc tive service, participated in and supported by Americans of all faiths. At the present time the Commi ttee is engaged in child feeding and relief work in France, India, China, Finland, and Austria.

Just add a specially prepared wax-like product to the starch when you dip the curtains, and they will not only iron more easily, because the wax-like pro* duct keeps the iron from sticking and pulling, but they will keep clean longer because their satiny smooth surface is dirt resistant. Launder the curtains often and be sure to shake the dust out before washing. You can avoid a lot of wrinkles if you hang them back at their windows, pair by pair, as you iron them. Here’s another knowing trick: starch the curtains from one room in one batch of starch, so that they will be equ ally stiff. Your rooms will look much cooler if your curtains are always crisply clean. ^ Fine Quality Printing Call HA-0800 Eczema Itching, -Burning-Distress Sets Quick Ease antf Comfort Get a bottle of stainless, powerful, penetrating Moone’s Emerald Oil.
