Mrs. H. c. Simpkin
Presents Piano Recital

Mrs. H. C. Simpkin, piano and
voice teacher, presented the last
of series of four pupils recitals
Tuesday evening at the Hopper
Kelly auditorium Nine pupils par
ticipated, and the work of all of
them displayed good tone, fine
shading and real musical under
standing, although five of them
had studied less than a year and
this was their first public appear
ance. There was a large and en-
thusiastic audience.
Outstanding was Van Lear
Douglas, age 7, who showed UNI
usual talent and essayed COM
positions usually played by much
older and more experienced perfor-
mers. The work of Patricia Brown
and Eva Weber was exceedingly
good, and they both showed great
improvement since last heard.
OF the older pupils Florence
Brown played with rare musical
insight and poetic vision, while
her sister, Edith Mary, whom Mrs.
Simpkin considers one of the most
talented students she has ever con-
tacted electrified her hearers with
her artistic and dynamic interpret
atoms of some very difficult sell
ections. Her performance of the
"Golliwog's Cakewalk" by Debussy
was a rare treat. These two girls
concluded the program with the
Adagio movement from Mendels-
sohn's Concerto for piano and or
chestra in d minor. 1t was beauti-
fully and flawlessly played, with
perfect timing and balance, and
elected many flattering remarks
from the audience.

cut the working hours from two
hundred forty per month to one
hundred ninety-six; that the abo-
lition of sleeping on the diners was
a part of the program as it was
detrimental to the health of both
the passengers and employees. He
further stated that the union aim
ed to put an end to tipping, de-
handing a living wage for dining
car employees. Mr.. Flory stated
that there were men working two
hundred forty hours a month for
the wage of $4,000 1t is condi-
lions like these that the Joint
Council of Dining Car Employees
are striving to correct, he said
In closing, Mr.. Flory said that
his union was a progressive organi-
cation, and is interested in the Sc
curity of jobs, civil liberties, and
all other rights of the American
masses, and that it was especially
interested in the unity of the Ne
gro people.

Graduate of University of Washington
Told Color Is Bar to State Employment
Avis Dennis, Winner of Community Scholarship,
Meets With Discrimination

eer of Personnel and Accounts for
the department, interviewed civil
engineering students at the Uni
versity of Washington in regard to
employment. During my interview
with Mr. Turnbull he stated that
as I no doubt knew, it wasn't a
matter of merit as to whether the
highway department could hire
me, but it was my color that was
against me.
Mr. Turnbull stated that after
interviewing me at the University
in May 1887 he had talked to sew
eral district engineers and engin-
GERS under them and they didn't
think much of having Negro
working in their crews. l stated
that this discrimination because of
color would have to be broken up
and pointed out other instances in
which employers with courage had
put qualified Negroes to work in
the face of similar unwillingness,
and the men had worked together
without friction. Mr.. Turnbull
said such action would be up to
Mr.. L. v. Murrow, Director of
Highways. He stated he did not
want me to think that he was
passing the buck" to Mr.. Muir
row. He and Mr.. Murrow had
talked the matter over last year,
and Mr.. Murrow felt that in order
to secure the utmost cooperation
from his district engineers he
should not force them to take a
man they did not want. He did
suggest that 1 see Mr.. Murrow per-
sonally if possible and present my
case. He also suggested that I
see Mr.. Shearer, district engineer
of the 1st and local district.
am enclosing a copy of the
correspondence 1 have had with
the Highway Director and the
Governor in regard to this dis
elimination.
Before 1 wrote to Mr.. Murrow 1
interviewed Mr. Shearer. AL
though being very sympathetic, he
frankly admitted he would hest
tate to employ colored American
in an engineering capacity.
l think I have given you enough
of the situation to show that nei-
Their Mr.. Murrow nor Governor
Martin intend to do anything to
change the situation unless some
pressure is exerted. 1 will appre-
ciate anything you can do to help
remedy this situation.
Very truly yours,

Rev. W. D. Carter
To Celebrate His
5Oth Anniversary
BY Airline N. Paiya

Friends in Seattle will be in
terested in the coming celebration
by Rev. w. d. Carter of Pasadena
who has spent fifty years in the
Baptist ministry. Rev.Carter was
the pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist
Church, this city, for II years dur
ing which time the present edifice
at 10th and E. Madison was erect
ed. He is now serving the Friend
ship Baptist Church in Pasadena
where he has been for the past
fourteen years.
Rev. Carter was born in Warden,
Miss, and was ordained a minister
Aug. 1888 at the age of %.
Since that time he has served but
four churches, in Fulton, Mo. for
ten years; Pilgrim Baptist Church
at st. Paul for ID years, then in
Seattle and now In Pasadena.
An elaborate program is being
arranged for the celebration be-
ginning Tuesday, August %, and
lasting until Sunday, August %,
when the venerable minister will
speak from the subject 1.-THE Con-
clusion of the Whole Matter"
Both Rev. and Mrs. Carter are
well beloved in Seattle. Besides
their brilliant church work, they
were active in civic enterprises
that will stand as monument to
their achievements for years to
come. Rev. Carter not only served
his church, but the people of the
community and through his efforts
many people were brought into the
church. Mrs. Carter is remem-
bered best for her work in estab-
fishing the Phyllis Wheatley Branch
of the Y.W.C.A., but has many
other accomplishments to her cred
it as well. Nc doubt among the
many congratulatory messages to
Rev. and Mrs. Garter will be nu-
merous ones from Seattle for they
still have a host of friends here.

Golf Tournament
Creates Interest

For the first time in the history
of the Northwest, a golf tourna-

members may compete. The local
golf minded citizenry at last get
the break they have long awaited.
We have always had our share of

have they been able to compete
against each other in the same

Much enthusiasm and excite
ment. has been brought about since
the announcement last week by
this paper that such a tournament
was. to be held August 20. The
latest reports have it that some
fifty or sixty golfers will be on
hand for this big event coming
from Oregon, Washington and
California. Beautiful Darlington
golf course, near Renton has been
secured by the committee.
The low scorer for the thirty
six holes will be crowned cham
pion, but there will be many prizes
for others entered. The runner up
to the champion, the leaders in
each handicap division and even
the highest scorers will come in
for shares in the prize list. The
more entrants received the better
the prize distribution as all fees
will go toward that end.
In order to properly handicap
those entered, each contestant will
be required to turn in four 10 hole
scores played no earlier than July
1. These cards must accompany
the entry blanks sent to the Golf
Editor of the Enterprise. Play
will start at $50 am. for the
first round and 100 p. m. for the
final round. There will be no gall
lery fee so all interested my see
their favorites in action by coming
out.
