Time Apologies For
Use of Term 'Darky'

NEW YORK - Time magazine
apologized this week for use of
the term "Darkey" in recent ar
ticle appearing in the news maya
zine, describing a Michigan horse
show in which Joe Louis took part.
In a letter addressed to Walter
White, executive secretary of the
NAACP, who protested use of the
insulting epithet, 1. Van Meter, ed
itorial secretary of the publication,
said:
/ can assure you that
your frank criticism has had the
careful attention of all those who
contributed toward the prepara-
ton of TIMES report on the Or
ange, Virginia horse show.
"Our attempt at a pun ION the
race-track slang dark horse') in
the caption was, we now realize,
Objectionable to many of TIMES
good friends and hence in bad
taste.
Frankly, we had not known
that feeling was so strong against
this additionally kindly Southern
expression. But we know it now
and won't forget it, you may be
sure"

Rev. Robinson Visits
Friends In Northwest

Rev. u. S. Robinson, evangelist
o. Detroit, formerly a minister at
Vancouver, B. c., is paying Seattle
and other cities in the Northwest
a visit after an absence of several
years. During his pastorate in
Vancouver, Rev. Robinson purch-
ased and paid for the present
church ecifice, and did other very
effective work as a member of the
Puget Sound Conference. Since
leaving the Northwest the noted
evangelist has visited every large
city in the country and reports
have come back to Seattle from
time to time of the splendid sue
cesses in his field. Rev. H. B.
CAN'T during his visit here recent
ly told friends of the very high
esteem in which Rev. Robinson is
held by the ministry in the East.
His constant preaching, however,
has caused a throat irritation nee
essitating a rest for several
months. Nevertheless, in spite of
this, Rev. Robinson was persuaded
to speak to, First Church Sunday
morning and the audience was
happy to be able to worship with
him again. The distinguished visi-
tor will remain here perhaps over
the week end, leaving the first of
the week for Portland and Califor-

Helena, Montana

There is but a thousand-to-one
chance that any future gathering
of Montana Federation of Negro
Wonen's clubs will, in the near fu-
ture, develop better program
than the one enjoyed by the aud
fences attending the sessions which
held forth two days in last week.
The place of the meetings, st. Pet
er's Procathedral, only a block
from the Post Office, was most
convenient, and attracted a COM
Portable attendance. While the
programs for the two-day sessions
were a bit crowded in numbers, the
extreme length was balanced by
the very fine quality offered to
those in attendance. Readings and
musical numbers were pleasing and
highly appreciated from the be-
ginning to the end. The papers
and addresses were of a character
to interest the most exacting, and
were teeming with elemental reali-
ties and eternal verities, delving
beneath superfluities to bedrock
and solid underpinning.
Among the prominent speakers
were Lieut.. Gov. Hugh Adair,
Mayor Albert j. Roberts, Mrs. r.
L. Spalding, president of the He
lena Womens Club (white) Mrs.
Neva Woods Magraw, County
homes demonstration agent, Nor
man Winestine, Mrs. Maggie
Smith Halfway and Mrs. Carl H.
Springer of Mitchell, S. D. Mrs.
Sprunger's address on interracial
understanding was the outstanding
talk of the sessions. The above
speakers were all white and the
number of colored participants
quite lengthy.
