OSCAR MOORE JOINS
“THREE BLAZERS’
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Johnny
Moore's Three Blazers, those three
little kings of the jukeboxes, will wel
come na nww star to their fold when
Oscar Moore, ace guitaAist of (he
King Cole Triio and 1947 Esquire
Award winner, joins their unit on
October 20.
The Blazers, who ft the past year
have developed into just about the
hottest box office attraction on the
road, and whose records for the Ex
clusive label sell in the millions, wil
become a quartet with the addition of
Oscar Moore, who incidentally, is the
brother of Johnny Moore, the No. 1
Blazer.
Before Oscar originally went with
the King Cole Trio and Johnny organ
ized the Three Blazers in Los Angeles
the brothers Moore, both of whom
play guitar, had their own outfit,
which they called “The Four Blazers'".
Oscar was featured on some of the
first records made by the Blazers for
the Modem Music and Exclusive
■ labels,, and the vocalist on a number
of those early discs was one Frankie
Laine.
No decision has as yet been made
by Milton Ebbins, their personal
manager, and the William Morris
Agency, their agents, as to the future
billing of Johnny Moore’s Three Bla
zers. The personnel of the outfit will
be Johnny and Oscar Moore on gui
tars, Eddie Willie Williams on string
bass, and Charles Brown on piano
and vocals.
Oscar declared that his decision to
join his brother’s unit came about os
a result of the desire of both Johnny
and hmself to have a combo with a
new type of instrumentation, feeling
that there are too many piano-bass
guitar trios in operation at the pre
sent time.

Racial and Religious Hatred n the
Church
Co mug to the fore now is the que*
tion, How much longer caa the Church
regard as members in good standing
I those who provoke and agitate for
: racial and religious hatred?
i Certain it is that notorious evil liv
ers liave always been subject to the
' Charch’s discipline and, sicpe we
know mdst assuredy frO« the history
of the past decade that the propaga
tion of racial and religions hate issues
in widespead human suffering and pro.
duces the most debased kind of char
acter — which is scandalots in the
Church—it is reasonable and right
that hale mongers be declared to be
in a serious state of sin.
The Book of Common Prayer ef the
Episcopal .Is.. l -i - I*»•' •••■•' •
. » way, "If among wha come to bt
partake, s of the Holy Communion, the
.Vl.nisler shall know any — to have
done any wrong to his neighbors by
word or deed, so that the Congrega
tion be thereby offended} he shall
advertise him. that he presume not
! to come to the Lord’s Table, until
| te have openly declared himself to
truly repented and amended his for
mer evil life.” Surely the 'kind of
hatred to whfch *e alre referring
comes under the category of having
done wrong to ane’s neighbors. For
what greater crimes can be commit
ted against humanity than those which
hatred causes and has already caus
ed?
So recently as September 21, the
New York-Tribune reported that Arch
h:shop Joseph E. Ritter of St. Louis
had said that “members of a group
protesting admission of Negro child
ren into Roman Catholic schools with
white students woeld be excommuni
cated automatically if they persist to
seek to bar the Negroes by civil act
ion against the Archbishop.”
In a letter read in all parishes of
the Archdiocese of St. Louis, the
Archbishop said that the policy of
admitting Negro children to Catholic
schools with white pupils is one
“which we consider our right anti
duty as chief pastor of this Archdio
cese, regardless of race Or nationality.”
For the Church to declare now that
racial and religious hatred is a sin
which will deprive Church members
of the rights and privileges of the
faithful would have its salutary effects
both in the Church and the body poli
tic. "ft will do more to destroy the
age-old crime of anti-Semitism,” de
clared Rabbi William F. Rosenblum,
President of the Synagogue Council
j of America, “than all the polite as
surances of good will by creed
leaders.’ It would do something else.
It would put the Church where she
i belongs—out in front as the cham
pion of human riights.
FARMER INCREASES INCOME
300 PERCENT BY CONSERVING
AND IMPROVING HIS SOIL
How O. W. Waddleton, Texas col
ored farmer, increased the productive
capacity of a down-at-the-heel 50-acre
farm and upped his cash income by
300 percent is told in the October is
sue of Soil Conservation, a U. S. De
partment of Agriculture publication.
The magazine points out that de
spite long hours at the plow, Mr.
Waddleton found it next to impossible
at first to increase the yields on the
run-down eroded farm he bought in
1939 through the Federal Land Bank
for $450. Even after three years of
hard work, he had a little to show.
The average income of his farm had
gone up only from $500 to $770 a
year, and that wasn’t enough for his
large family.
Then one day a neighbor told him
about Soil Conservertion and how this
agency would hedp him build up and
conserve the fertilty of his soil. Farm
er Waddleton went to sea the super
visor of his soil conservation district
and a technician was sent out to help
him plan a conservation program.
With the aid of conservation tech
nician, Mr. Waddleton set to work
saviing his soil during the summer of
1944. Using his own workstock and
the Hopkins-Rains-Wood istrict-owned
equipment, he began a system of ter
races to hold the rain water in check
and stop erosion. Now he has 10,000
feet of terraces and his entire culti
vated area has been seeded at least
once, either to legumes or erosion-con
trol crops.
By last year, Farmer Waddleton'g
cotton yield had increased from one
bale to every five acres to one bale
to every two; his corn from 10 to 30
bushels per acre, andn his sweetpota
toes from 60 to 200 bushels per acre.
Frogn his cotton and sweetpotatoes
alone, he grossed $1,100. When he add
ed this to his income from peanuts,
table peas, milk, livesstock, and poul
try, he had $2,110 in his pocket. Be
sides, he had his home-grown food
supply and food for his livestock. Now
Mr. Waddleton and his family feel
that they are on the road to security.
