The tenants charge that the rent
have been raised once In the ten
months that colored residents have
been in the apartment. They con-
tend that another raise Is unreal
sonable.
According to an official OF the
Rent Payers Protective association,
the rents during the occupancy OF
the apartment by whites ranged
from $500 to $500. Since the
building has been turned over to
coIored residents, the rents have
been from $500 to $4,000 each
month, almost doubling that OF the
former occupants.

PROGRAM WILL
BE AIRED EACH
TUESDAY NIGHT
Weekly Prizes Will
Be Awarded The
Winners

What is probably the first step
toward opening avenues Of expres-
sion ia the radio field for those
colored persons possessing ability.
will be made by the Detroit rrf-
bune.
In Greater Detroit. and through
out Michigan. are hundreds OF
young artists who possess unus-
ual ability as musicians, tap-danc-
ers. and singers. These young ar
fists will be given an opportunity
TO demonstrate their ability and
win public acclaim.
Radio Station wMBC. In coopera-
tion with the Detroit Tribune. will
soon produce a weekly radio pro-
gram called Paradise Valley Talent
Parade. Present plans contemplate
airing OF the show each Tuesday
evening from 1000 to 1900 o'clock.
Plans Completed
Final plans for the production Of
the program have been made by
]. E. Mccall, editor and publisher
OF the Detroit Tribune aud John
Mckay, OF wMBC.
The program will be for amateur
and professional talent alike. al
though the main object and purpose
OF the presentation is to encour-
age heretofore undiscovered talent.
In speaking about the proposed
program, Mckay said:
Detroit has long been asleep re-
garding the possibilities OF radio
talent to be found among colored
people OF this community. II goes
without saying that the Negro race
Is naturally musical. Yet, they have
been steadily turned away from
the radio stations without the op-
portunity for an addition, or a
chance to show their talent WMBC
feels that the colored people OF
Detroit offer a FERTILE field for tall
ent, and We intend to give this tall
ent every opportunity.
81. Edward Mccall. publisher OF
the Tribune. sees with us the great
opportunity for wNBC to develop
this talent endowment, and, at the
same time. to render a service TO
the colored people OF Detroit by
giving them the opportunity which
they deserve"
Carried 10 weeks
The program will be carried
over a period Of ten weeks, with a
permanent organization growing
out OF the talent discovered. II IL
expeced that this organization will
be contracted for as a steady offer
ing on wMBC as paid talent.
Each week during this ten-week
period. there will be $500 In cash
awards for the acts receiving the
greatest applause from the studio
audience.
The acts will have the benefit OF a
full studio orchestra. and one Of the
outstanding masters Of ceremonies
In Detroit.
However, no act will 70 on the
