Worth Kramer, program director of
Station VICAR, Cleveland, Ohio, and
choral director of "Wings Over Jor-
dan" The choir was presented in the
Symphony Hall concert by the Union
Baptist Church, Cambridge, Rev
F. Havis Davis, pastor
1t was apparent that the singers had
the audience with them from the start
and each number was given enthusi-
astic applause. The religious charac-
ter of the performance no doubt en-
couraged the attendance of many mem
bers of church organizations. All the
local congregations were generously
represented in the vast audience which
packed Symphony Hall, the largest
con, ert hall in the city; but there also
were present numerous regular con-
cert-goers.
Following the concert was a recep-
ton to the choir the same evening.
From Boston the choir will continue
its New England itinerary with APP
pearances in Springfield, Hartford,
and other key cities.

MRS. LETHIA FLEMING
SPEAKS FOR WYCHE

Calling on her listeners to mot only
make sure you elect a colored man,
but also be sure you vote for the best
colored man or run the risk of losing
your splendid fight, Mrs. Lethia G..
Fleming, national Republican commit
tee leader and ranking executive in
the Elks and the National Association
of Colored Women, addressed large
and enthusiastic audience at Butler
Hall last Friday night. Mrs. Fleming
spoke at a meeting called by the John
E. Wyche Associates to push his fight
for election to the City Council from
Ward Nine. She had flown here from
Cleveland the previous day.
Mrs. Fleming told of many of the
cities she had visited in which not only
one, but several colored people had
been elected and were now serving.
One of these cities, Cleveland, she said,
has always had at least one colored
member of the council and now has

committees within the council organ
ization.
with even one good councillor to
represent YOU, she said at one point,
you can imagine the new school build
ings, parks, jobs and other benefits
you could have by merely asking for
them" Referring to the difference be-
tween various types of candidates in
the race, Mrs. Fleming pointed out
many of the dangers of the present
situation. She stated that a true rep
resentative of the colored people of
Boston must be courageous, scrupu-
lously honest, and devoted to the in
terests of the people. "There doesn't
seem to be but one answer to that"
she said. 'Is there anyone here who
can't give it," Resembling applause
greeted her remark.

MRS, BETHUNE ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT FUTURE OF RACE YOUTH
BY JANICE MAPP

In an interview with representatives
of the local press Oil Thursday evening
of last week, Mrs. Mary Mcleod Beth
me, members of the National Youth
Administration Board, expressed, a
great satisfaction with the attitude Of
the present generation Of colored
young people She stated that during
her travels throughout the length and
breadth of the land she had found
greater eagerness and desire ON the
part of the rising generation to adapt
themselves to conditions existing in the
world today.
On every hand there are young col
ored people preparing themselves to
adopt and assume a higher standard
for the race in every walk of life. She
points with great pride to the young
women, particularly, who are estab-
fishing themselves in professional life
and halls that as a mark Of definite
progress.
There is no need" said Mrs. Beth
une, ''to feel discouraged about condi-
tons" In fact, she feels that we are
living in a new era leading to a time
when a man will be accepted for what
he can contribute to progress regard
less Of race, color, or creed.
The National Youth Administration
is playing a very important part in
this development, she said. By its pro-
Grams in many sections of the country,
through college aid and vocational
guidance, greater advantages will be
realized for all desiring the assistance.
