General Washington Was First to Arrive in
 Philadelphia
BY JOHN BARR)

Monday, May l4th, 1787 was the date appointed for the opening of the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia, but the only delcga- tion to arrive on time, besides the P n nsylvanians, was General Washington and the Virginians-- who were enthusiastically greeted by al; the town-children and grown -ups-when they came down Market street in their boots and saddles, escorted by the Generals former body-guard, First Troop Philadelphia Cavalry, commanded by Capt. John Dunlap, the fight ing-editor who had printed the first Broadside of the Declaration of Independence and had been with General Washington at the famous mid-winter and mitl-night Crossing of the Delaware.
 We can imagine the meeting that day between Washington and grand old Benjamin Franklin-in his 82nd year; honored by all the world, recently returned from France where he had so nightly served his country. and now Pres ident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Delegate to the Constitutional Convention; and we can imagine some of the things that pair of immortaB must have said to eac hother in confidence, and their exchange of high hopes for the result of the Convention.
 We are told, too, of the affec- tionate meetings at that time be- tween Washington and his soldier comrades and how they revisited nera-by war scenes including 'BrandyWine' and Germantown and Valley Forge
 (While in Philadelphia on this occasion Washington was the guest of Robert Morris, who was also a delegate to the Conven- tion)

Standing
Room Only?
By DAVID M. HALL

Gail the people on earth can be
put into a box measuring a half
mile in each direction the box
pushed off the edge of the Grand
Canyon, there would be a crash, a
splash, and only a few bubbles to
mark humanity's grave" Thus
does Hendrix Van Loon illustrate
in his vivid Geography" how
small is the population of our
world.
But-at the present rate of
growth, how long will it be before
there are too many people on
earth? How long will it be before
there will be far too many people
to go into a box several miles in
each direction? How long will it
be before there is standing room
only? We may be assured of only
one thing: it will not be during our
lifetime, nor our chlldren'S life
time, nor their children's lifetime.
Is it inevitable, however, that
sometime in the not-so-distant fu-
ture we shall be faced with the
problem of too many people?
In the minds of some scientists
there is little doubt but what the
worlds demand for food for its in
creasing population will exceed the
crop yield. We cannot question
the fact that the world population
is increasing. Japan seeks an out
let for her overlooking population
in Western Asia-even in South
America; Italy seeks new sources

all intelligent colored people to
have him represent them any
where! Dear readers, don't y think
it about time we stopped living in
the PAST (on the Stage, Screen,
and Radio)?
If big white band leaders like
Guy Lumbardo, Wayne King, Fred
Waring, Paul Whiteman, and Ben
Bernie (all of them very wealthy
saw fit to organize for their own
protection" it seems more logical
that colored band leaders would do
likewise las most of them are just
a jump or two ahead of the old
wolff. Here is another reason
why colored band leaders need a
protective organization among
themselves: Too often colored
band leaders have been "manhan-
died" by white bookers and dis
carded like so much rubbish! To
you that may sound impossible,
when I tell you that colored people
support colored bands NINETY
per cent! Right here the question
arises: If colored people support
colored bands ninety per cent, why
do our best band leaders allow
themselves to be robbed by unfair
white bookers? Yeah, that may
be one for the book, but it is made
possible by the lack of organiza-
