The Cotton Blassom Singers, a
group from Piney Woods, Miss, lit
orally took Vancouver by storm over
the weekend. At st. Giles United
Church Sunday morning they ap-
peared before large audience which
virtually filled the building. At 8
p. m. people were turned away from
the A. M. E. Church because of lack
of standing room even. At night
they sang at the First Baptist Church
to a packed house. The congrega-
ton at st. Giles was asked to con-
tribute tc aid the local A. M. Z.
Church and gave $1,000. The after
noon collection for Piney Woods
School was S55.71 and the First
Baptist Church, of which the Rev. J.
]. Ross is pastor, contributed S121.45
to- the singers for Piney Woods
School. Too much praise can not be
given the singers, who were pro-
nounced the best who ever visited
Vancouver. Miss Eula Kelly, who is
manager of the singers, proved to be
most charming young woman, pos
| sessed of that rare grace and charm
so characteristic of the cultured col
ored women of the south. She gave
most interesting and instructive ad-
dresses at each service.
