HEALTH PLAY

"Hail to a Happy Life" health
play sponsored by the Catholic
Mothers Club of St. Peter Claver
Catholic Church, will be presented
at the Halle @. Brown House, Sun
day, May 9, at 1880 p. m. Admis-
sion, adults 35c and children 10c.
It is quite fitting that this play
should be given during National
Negro Health week, and the pro-
motors have been ever alert in their
efforts to make this the success it
rightfully deserves. The cast in
cludes older boys and girls, as well
as children from three to seven
years. A very pretty dramatiza-
ton is health playlet of the
smaller children. The rhymetic and
dramatic activities of these chill
dren show how they can be used to
express health ideas which proves
of immense educational value to the
children.

Protest Against
Two Teachers
FORCE DISMISSAL OF TWO
BIASED TEACHERS

NEW YORK, May-(CNA)-
Harlem and Brooklyn organizations
protesting ill-treatment of Negro
school children by prejudiced white
teachers won two distinct victo
this week with the removal of
Objectionable teachers.
In Harlem, Gustav Schenchen,
white principal who brutally as
saulted 14-year-old Robert Shelton
last October, was removed from
P. s. 5, 14Oth Street and. Edge
combe Avenue. Schenchen was
succeeded by Rufus Hartill, also
white.
In Brooklyn, Mrs. Gertrude Bent
Kirby, charged with referring to
her Negro pupils as ringers" and
"savages," was removed from P. S.
ID, Washington and Green Ave-
nues, where she taught in a ga
class.
Mrs. Kirby's removal followed
an energetic campaign by the
Brooklyn Youth Federation and
the National Negro Congress
which forced DR.. Harold G. Camp
bell, superintendent of schools, to
act in the matter after the school
superintendent attempted to white
wash the affair.
The fight against Schenchen was
led by the Harlem Committee for
Better Schools and supported by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
the National Negro Congress and
scores of other organizations.

Treasury Fears Substitutes

Thanksgiving H o Ii d a y
Halts Farm Debate

Washington. Nov 25.-(AP)-Con-
gressmen advocating immediate re-
vision of corporate taxes expressed
the belief today that President Roose-
of would not block a vote at the spe-
cial session.
Some said they were convinced by
recent talks with the President he
was willing to modify the corporate
surplus and capital gains taxes, and
he would agree to early considera-
ton.
The campaign to revise corporate
taxes at the special session ran into
a new obstacle, however. Treasury
officials expressed doubt over the a
mount of revenue that might be OBJ
tanned from the substitute measure
approved by the House subcommittee.
In announcing approval Tuesday OF
a substitute for the present undIstrl-
butedi profits bevies, subcommittee
members said it would raise as much
revenue as the rates they propose TO
eliminate.
Treasury experts since then, how
ever, have indicated, uncertainty on
this point. They reserve decision pend
Ing completion of more detlled estl-
mates.
Chairman Vinson, Democrat, Ken
tuckv. of the subcommittee, said the
new measure is a real undistributed
profits tax, but it is reasonable. 1t
gives more premium for distribution.
The Thanksgiving holiday interrupt
ed Senate debate today on the farm
BILL but Senator Barley, the Demo
cratic leader, said he would hold the
chamber in session Friday and Sat
urday in an effort to pass the measure
by Wednesday of next week. House
debate will begin Monday and may
last a week.

DAY CELEBRATED IN
MANSIONS AND HUTS
President Cites Abundant
Harvests, Stable Employ

Other Nations Engage In
War; Roosevelts at White
House for the Day
DIV The Associated Press)

The Nation laid aside its business,
political and economic cares today ana
sent up prayers of thanksgiving Tor
the fruits of another years toll.
Stores, offices, schools and factories
were closed as millions of Americans
sat down to steaming tables in man
sions, cottages and small huts to OBJ
serve the annual feast of the Pilgrim
fathers.
Travel was heavy throughoutthe
country as celebrants hurried home-
ward for family reunions.
Churches of all denominations held
special services and the religious re-
sponded to President Roosevelt's call
to "humbly acknowledge the mercy Of
God, from whom comes every good
and perfect gift. 'ss
The President, observing Thanks
giving in the White House for the first
time in his five years residence there,
had called on Americans to give
thanks for abundant harvests" as
well as stable employment" and
peace, while war engaged other parts
of the world" .s. s.
Secretary of Commerce Roper echo-
ed the Presidents views of what to be
thankful for. He told a press confer
ence yesterday Americans also should
list "our liberty and freedom" a fin
ancial structure adequately safeguard
ed, social and economic progress, int
proving Industrial relations and the
highest standard Of living in the
world.
Turkey, as usual, was the piece, de
resistance of the day, and at the
White House it was served with chest
nut dressing. Unlike in thousands Of
American homes, the day was not an
occasion for a family reunion of the
Roosevelts. NJ
Vice-President Garner was having
his dinner at his hotel in Washington,
but it did not include turkey. He
doesn't like it.
At Plymouth, Mass, birthplace Of
Thanksgiving, descendants of the PHI
grims, and others, renewed family
gatherings.

Madrid, Nov. 25.-(AP)-Stricken
Madrid awoke today from another
night of terror to count its dead and
take stock of material damage from
one of the heaviest shellings of the
Spanish civil war.
Like a gusty rainstorm, the bonn
bardment swept back and forth across
the city last night from the center to
outlying residential sections. Three
times Madrid residents thought the
Smelling had ended, but insurgent and
government batteries did not fall
silent until midnight.
Disastrous as the engagement was
to this thickly populated city, it must
have been equally as disastrous to in
surgent big gun emplacements, which
Madrid. artillerymen shelled.
First reports were that about q
score of persons were killed in Madrid
and many others injured.
The artillery bombardment started
after insurgents had launched an of
fensive in the University City section.
