Byron Withers, a musical critic of
The Guardian for many years, will
have his latest composition, the
Lords Prayer" sung by the baritone
soloist of Park st. Church at an early
date. AS announced last week, this
musical "saga" was sung by soloist

Interpretation of the works of noted
racial composers has been an out
standing musical event for the past
seven years, being held this year at
Carnegie Hall, Feb. 2.
Mr.. Withers was one of the invited

On Monday evening, the annual
Goodwill Dinner, so familiar to Bos-

of the Twentieth Century Club on Joy
Street. A. Philip Randolph of New
York, president of the Sleeping Car
Porters of America, had been an
nounced as the guest speaker. 1t was
with regret that the latter's New York
engagement necessitated his return
soon after his Sunday morning lee
ture at Community Church. However,
Atty. Julian d. Rainey successfully
substituted for Mr.. Randolph so that
the dinner audience was not permitted
to endure too great a sense of disap-
pOintment.
Among those present of special
note were: DR.. and Mrs. John Baptiste
Hall, Mr.. and Mrs. Julian D. Steele.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Taylor, Mrs.
Hezekiah Henderson and her daugh-
ter, Miss Marjorie Henderson. Also
Mesdames Ethel Gross, H. K. Craft,
Ella Alexander, Kathrine Bullock,
Talula McCurdy, Ethel Smith, Nadine
Goodman and the Rev. Mr.. Laviscount,
The seating diagram revealed over
100 guests. Besides the principal
speaker there were short responses
made by six international students
studying in colleges in Boston so that
the following countries were repre-
sented: Siam, Egypt, Corea, India,
China and Australia.

The line neaOS into the QOOr OF
an office marked Repatriation
Certificates. This is where those
who fled from occupied France be-
fore the Nazi invaders obtain the
documents permitting them to
pass through the German lines
back to their homes.
A smaller sign on the same door
says: Repatriation certificates
will not be delivered: (A) To for

That sign tells the tragic story
of the Jewish refugee in France.
He is not wanted in t he over
crowded, poverty-stricken unoccu-
pied territory, and he is forbidden
to return to the Nazi-held part of
the country.

In fact, many started home any
way, usually at their own risk,
without repatriation certificates,
sometimes with certificates pro-
vided by compassionate authori-
ties who winked at the rules.

had no instructions to discrimin-
