Exhibition Marks
Negro Art Week
BY Mrs. Kathryn G. Boyle

Art students, critics, and inter-
ested laymen have flocked to see
the exhibit of pictures gathered up
from among Portland's Negro ar
lists and displayed last week at
the ]. K. Gill's art gallery. The
pictures were shown from June 81
to July 2, in celebration of Ma
tional Negro Art Week.
The work of Mrs. Thelma John
son Street was the stellar attrac-
ton with her "Displeased Lady" in
oil, done with such skill and unus-
ual lighting that it brough visit
ors back to the exhibit more than
than once. Mrs. Streets versa
tility caused much comment, for in
her varied work were excellent ex-
amples of oils, pastels, water col
ors, and pencil, on paper, canvas,
an ordinary window shade, linol-
cum, and a piece of celotex.
Amateur artists added their tai
ent to the exhibition and were
lauded for their contributions. An
excellent crayon sketch of her
daughter, Rita" by Mrs. Ruby
Wright, were praised again and
again, as was a dainty water color
by the same artist.
A panel of miniature silhouetes
done in pen and ink by Mrs. Jean
Edwards were pronounced exquis-
lite by the general public and by
those who have worked in the
same medium.
Mrs. Henrietta Marshall lent a
pair of her oil paintings, one of an
English cottage and garden, and
the other placid marine-scape be-
fore which many fingered, lost in
reverie.
A group of pencil sketches by
Edward Bushnell, Richard STAN
ton, Audrey Patterson, and Mary
Ellen Duncan, who also lent a pair
of water colors, were a show with
in a show.
In the children's section, little
Miss Phyllis Reynolds came in for
admiration for her craft-work on
wood as she showed outstanding
ability in her "Snow White" and in
a beautifully chiseled box. Robert
Crosswhite received encouragement
to study further because of the
evident talent seen in his pencil
drawings. Thelma Crawford was
praised for a dainty water color
in blue and white. De Norval I'm
thank Jr. and Richard Boyle, Jr.,
displayed their love of color and
originality in crayon drawings.
The exhibit was arranged by
Mrs. Kathryn G. Boyle and Mrs.
Romano Streat, assisted by Mrs.
Hattie Fannings Jordan.

Dining Car Walters
Head Sends Letter
By
John G. Baker, 9Th Vice-President
Protective Order of
Dining Car Walters


A report of what l term a timely
piece of work on the part of the
Protective Order of Dining Car
Workers, Local 465. It concerns
our delegate to the convention of
the State Federation of Labor held
at Tillamook, June 10. Although
we had complied with every re-
quirement pertaining to our dele
gate, as the time for his going
drew near we were just a bit con-
cerned over situation that had
arisen here durin gthe hotel strike.
We knew that he would be the on
ly gentleman of color, and no Ne
groes live in Tillamook, so we
wanted to know that he would be
properly taken care of. Mr.. VIM.
Taylor, Mr.. Harry Hardy, and Mr..
j. c. Baker, waited upon Mr.. Gus
Anderson, secretary of the Cen
trail Labor Council, who assured us
that everything would be ok. and
so us to be sure and send our dele
gate.
AS I desired that he attend the
convention, 1 made it known that
l did not like to have him go there
alone. Bro. VIM. Perry volunteer
ed to drive us to Tillamook. So
on Sunday morning at 8 o'clock,
it found Bro. Oceloa Henry, who
was our delegate, Bro. VIM. Deiz,
and Jr. G.. Baker, with Bro Per-
ry at the wheel of his shiny new
Buick, headed for the convention.
We arrived at noon, found the
headquarters in the leading hotel,
presented our credentials, got our
badge, and was presented to the
chairman of the housing commit
tee, who said, Eyes, your reserva-
ton is in this hotel, come with
me-" Then came the act that I
had anticipated. When the clerk
saw us he decided to cancel the
reservation and did. One of our
resolutions was asking the conven-
ton to go on record as favoring
the civil rights bill that was de-
feated last year, so you can see
the convention was in a spot. We
found the secretary of the State
Federation of Labor and told him
what had happened, also that that
was why we had accompanied our
delegate and were ready to take
him home. He asked us not to do
so; that he would see to it that
our delegate got housed. So he
called a Mr.. Fowler, and after 60
ing to four rooming houses, we
found a very poor room, then 1
asked Bro. Henry if he wanted to
stay. And want to say that we
need more men of Bro. Henry's
caliber.
His answer was, 81 am more
determined to stay now than ev-
err"
After we were sure that he had
a desirable place to dine, we left
him. 1 asked Bro. Henry not to
fail to get the floor when our re-
solution was presented and explain
just what he had experienced as a
delegate to their convention.
He did, and our resolution went
over big. Bro. Henry reports that
he was never treated better any,
where, made many friends among
the 300 delegates, and gained much
valuable experience. I want to
take this means of thanking Bro.
, Perry on behalf of the organiza-
ton for his fine cooperation
