years, and the principel has proven
itself. For the past ten years, Philco
mas been the leader in its field and
has enjoyed continuous expansion,
and its advertising has expanded
with it. Not a year in this decade
has elapsed without Philco sponsor
ing some new process or new inven-
ton which could be called a distinct
contribution.
This year, in most probability,
Philco advertising will reach an all
time high, with by far the greatest
proportion to be concentrated in
newspapers. New inventions are the
reason. The Philco refrigerator, the
first aforementioned refrigerator, fl
nally gives the housewife what she
has always needed-three types of
cold air for every type of food.
There Is a compartment for food to
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-04-21

be stored in s~ub-freeZing tempera-
lures; another section gives dry
cold air and still another provides
moist cold air for foods that need
humidity to retain their freshness
and flavor. A patented inner-dOor
in the refrigerator makes possible
still another temperature differen-
tial and places the food used most
often at ~finger-tip convenience.
New developments, based on
mass production of air-conditioners
with increased efficiency at lower
cost, will serve as the keystone of
a large Philco newspaper advertis-
ing campaign ON the newest ~air-con-
ditioners. Again, progress has made
possible, for the second successive
year, the most efficient yet lowest
priced air-conditioners ever before
brought before the public.
"Philco has brought the same

Need For Increased
Recreation For
Negro Youth

west, where absence of social restric-
tions permit Negro youth to partici-
pate in school and community activi-
ties, to a few cities which have made
special recreationa1 provisions for Ne
groes, and those cities having Negro
high schools or colleges which en-
courage athletic programs.
A national stock-taking of oppor-
tunities for organized recreation, ac-
cording to Mr.. Reeves, shows that
colored branches of the YMC.A. and
Y.W.C.A. provide either gymnasiums,
swimming pools, game rooms, and yo-
catienal classes in about 90 cities; Ne
gro settlements and community centers
exist in only approximately 40 cities;
Boy. Scout troops are to be found in
at least 200 communities, and either
Girl Scouts or Camp Fire Girls troops
for Negro girls exist in only &C cities.
"If it were not for the activities of
such, organizations, plus those of the
National Recreation Association and
the Playground Association of Amer
Isica, the leisure-time aspect of Negro
life in America, would be bleak
indeed" said Mr. Reeves. How
ever, it is encouraging to point
out that recreational facilities for col
ored people have increased nearly 200
per cent between 1925 and 1885. But,
it remained for the depression to focus
public attention on the predicament of
Negro youth, who, by the expenditure
of public funds through the W.P.A.
and National Youth Administration,
were given constructive leisure-time
programs on larger scale than ever
before"
Absence of normal recreational op-
portunities is today made more serious
by the increasing job competition
which has upset the traditional balance
of employment between whites and
Negroes, explained Mr. Reeves. "Un-
employment among whites has sent
Twin-City herald., 1940-03-23

The individual success of Joe Louis,
Jesse Owens and Paul Robson, and
other Negro athletes of the past or pre-
sent who have distinguished themselves
in the field of sport, serve by contract
to high1ight the "woefully inadequate"
recreational opportunities open to
American Negro youth as whole.
This was pointed out today by
Floyd w. Reeves, Director of the
American Youth Commission, in an
nouncing preliminary findings in a
series of research studies concerned
with the problems of Negro YOUTH
which, because of various factors, has
as a group, the highest ratio of .un-i
employed, of illiteracy, and the largest
proportion of arrests and convictions
for crimes.
By contrast with the exploits of
many outstanding Negro athletes, said
Mr.. Reeves, ,recreational opportunities
for the average Negro boy or girl in
an urban community are limited large
ly to random activities on the part OF
gangs or passive time-wasting on the
part of individuals" and to CONNER
cial recreational activities such as the
pool room or the beer parlor.
in some communities the question
of recreation for Negroes is utterly,
ignored, while in others it receives on
ly passing attention." Mr.. Reeves con-
tinued. I'm areas of racial segrega-
tion the public schools do not meet
the need for effective training in the
use of leisure time. As result, do
ing nothing, hanging around and
loafing' form the recreational pattern

the studies of the Commission, are

DIVINE ACQUIRES NEW
HEAVEN, MUST
REPAY CANCEL $3,o37

New York, March, (CNA)-Father
Divine, cult leader, was ordered this
week by Supreme Court Justice Di-
neen to repay his former angel, Mrs.
Verinda Brown, the $3,037 which she
deposited in his heavenly treasury"
He was also directed to return to
Mrs. Brown the furniture which she
gave him when she was converted and
received into one of his numerous
Heavens"
Meantime, it was learned that the
cult leader had acquired another
"heaven"-a fifteen-room house at
541 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn,
next door to Cathedral College, a
white preparatory seminary with 800
students. At least three of his fol-
lowers already have moved in to oc-
cupy the home.
The house is three-story brick and
stone building with fifteen rooms and
two baths. AT one time it was assessed
for $4,000 and even now carries an
$4,000 valuation for tax purposes. 1t
is located near the northeast corner of
Atlantic Avenue in a neighborhood
formerly predominatly settled by
whites. Several white Protestant
churches lie within short walking dis
tance and one Catholic parish in addi-
ton to the seminary.
! Justice Dineen's decision ended a
long legal battle between the cult lead
er and his former angel, in which Mrs.
Brown and her husband, Albert,
sought to- regain $4,500. They also
asked that a receiver be appointed for
all Divine properties, but Justice Din
neen dismissed this demand during the
| trial.
Several times it was testified during
the trial that Divine had advised Mrs.
Brown not to keep her money in banks
but to deposit it in his heavenly
+, treasury" AS consequence she en-
trusted to him over a period of years
,, the sum of $3,937.02.

Negroes in south Minneapolis have
an outpost of segregation in most
unusual place.
There is a Congregational Church
at Thirty Eighth and Third avenue,
which has sign in front to the effect
that everybody is welcome.
Woe betide the hapless soul that
takes them at their word though.
One of our progressive Negro Min
listers attempted to contact the minis
ter of the aforementioned church with
view of forming program to aid in
race relations. He was informed that
the white minister had previously ask
ed his congregation whether they
would have anything to do with Ne
groes or not, and that they had de-
cided to have strictly white attitude.
On another occasion, a colored
mother in the neighborhood who was
dead set in her child attending Sunday
School every Sunday, found herself
in an embarrassing position, due to
severe storm that made it hazardous
for her child to trek to St. Peters.
She sent the girl to the church up on
the corner.
When Sunday School was dismissed,
the teacher told the little girl to never
come back there, as it was for white
kids. -zass...z.
