Hello friends:
The other evening ! happened to
meet one of our most prominent
young ministers, REV. EDWARD
JAMES, Rector of st. Philips
Episcopal Church in st. Paul.
Knowing that a minister's opin-
ions would be interesting, as well
as instructive, I decided to try to
interview him. To my delight, he
readily consented to answer the
following questions:
1. Where did you attend school?
Ans. University of Minnesota;
Seabury Divinity School; attending
Hamline University at present.
2. In this day and age, how do
you think young people react
towards religious instruction? Ans.
Unfortunately, they seem to think
they have outgrown religious in
struction and practice.
8. Do you believe that minister
should interest himself in the civic
welfare of his people? Ans. Yes,
but not so that he neglects his re-
ligious work.
4. What characteristics do you
admire in a woman? Ans. Sin
cerity, devotion, and creativeness.
S. Do you believe in long court
ships? Ans. 1t depends upon the
individuals concerned.
6. What is your favorite des-
sert? Ans. Ice cream.
z. What's your pet hobby? Ans.
Athletic leadership.
8. What part of your work do
you enjoy the most? Ans. Pastoral
calling and preaching.
9. Do you think our race is hold
ing its own economically? Ans.
I have opinions on this topic which
are not popular.
10. If you could spend a year
travelling, where would you like to
go? Ans. The Orient and Europe.

event is sponsored by the Twin

first prize last year, are supervis-

This contest is becomming a
tradition in Minneapolis. Great
pride is attached to prizes by the
winners of previous years. Sec
ond and third prizes are both valu-
able and useful. The recipient of
one of these prizes is justified in
boasting of his possession because
it marks him as being a man of
outstanding community pride.

I want to tell you what a won
derful experience it was giving the
play "Find the Girl" written and
directed by LOUISE BOHANON)
over the Radio Station KSTP. 1t
doesn't take much effort to read
something over the radio, but to
act an emotional play, without the
aid of manuscript and the inspira-
ton of an audience-this requires
real skill, nerve and ability. All
three of these qualities were shown
by the cast in the play. The an
nouncer took us in a sound-proof
room where there were a lot of
contraptions here and there, and he
almost knocked us speeches. when
he told us we'd have to make our
own sound effects. There were all
sorts of buttons and pieces of
doors around, and if you happened
to push a wrong button, perhaps
the sound of a storm brewing or
train off in the distance would
start (this was the opposite from
any sound we needed). The micro
phone had two sides and we had
to stand approximately fourteen
inches away from the mouthpiece
and talk in our natural tone. AS
for being frightened, I don't be-
lieve any of the cast thought of
such a thing. Everyone kept his
eyes glued to the little globe on the
wall and when it turned red, that
was our signal that we were on
the air. LEO BOHANON played
the head of a community house,
and showed some real talent in
acting. . RACHEL JAMES por-
trayed the part of a mean social
worker. I know Rachel can really
act or she could never have taken
the part so well of someone who
is the opposite from herself. +.
PANSEY CHAVIS took the part
of a lound, bumptious person, and
she did some tall acting to portray
that part. IRENE SMITH
played the role of the head resi-
dents secretary. Being a secre-
tary to a real head resident, it's
no wonder Irene took her part so
we'll. DONALD BRADY was
the hero and played his part in
real actor-like fashion. Modes
ty forbids commenting upon the
way I acted the part of the lead
ing girl-in answer to the title of
the play, FIND THE GIRL"

DULUTH NEWS

THE OBSERVER

Masonic Lodges or the Twin Cities,
including Grand Master Chester
Johnson and a coterie of officers,
were in the city last Sunday. The
purpose of the visit was to re-
establish the charter of Doric
Lodge, local Masonic body. The
group had breakfast at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Adams.
The afternoon was spent pleasur-
ably at the roadside tavern of Mr..
George Hall on the Rice Lake road.
Luncheon was served the group at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Hyatt. Altogether the visit proved
to be a very gratifying occasion,
not only from the standpoint of
the re-established charter, but also
as a means of deepening the fra
ternalism between the Masonic
groups of the three cities. Let us
have more of it.
And speaking of Mr.. George
Hall-he is at all times keenly ap-
preciative of our business. His
tavern is on a fine road and is
easily accessible. Why not go out
there more often?
One of the outstanding affairs
sponsored by any of our local or
CARNATIONS is the annual Flower
and Garden Show of the Duluth
Sunday Forum. The date for the
show this year is August Ia. Mr..
George Dozier and Mr.. Wallace
Rodney are in charge of arrange
ments and prizes and this year
they have done a better job than
ever. There will be seven entries
for adults and like number for
juniors. First and second prizes
will be given for each event. These
prizes are valuable merchandise,
and well worth trying for. Entry
blanks can be secured at any time
from Mr.. Rodney. All right, all
you embryo Burbanks, get out your
spades and hoes!
HE'D down to the Twin Cities
with the Missus and a group of
Adult Education teachers over the
weekend. Took the ladies to the
University to their institute, and
then went about inquiring into this
and that. Found things pretty
much the same as elsewhere; Ne
groes more concerned with patron
age than principle; groups striv-
ing for "power" (what power?);
Senegambians trucking" while
dignified peonage beckons. So
what? I'm not good at puzzles,
either.
The Conference of Negro Youth
is in the hands of a capable person,
John Frederick Thomas of the
Phyllis Wheatley House. This boy
impresses me as having what it
takes. On the shoulders of such
persons is held the hope of the
group.
Remember June 5! That's the
night, Brother.
Did you know that John P.
Davis, Executive Secretary of the
National Negro Congress, might
come to Duluth soon? What a
break for our group here THAT
will be!
