Delegates From Groups
Attend Working Girls
Council Annual Institute

That rugged youth who take
life in stride are more likely to win
their rightful place in America,
rather than those, too we'll pro-
vided for, with soft hands and no
grit and determination, was a hint
dropped to parents.
In the Civil Rights seminar one
speaker believed that most prob
lens could be solved by establishing
an alliance of progressive groups
such as labor, Negroes, farmers,
workers and honest middle class
professionals and business. He said
history showed it worked under
Abraham Lincoln and he believed
it could be made to work again.
T. Arnold Hill, speaker at the
evening session, agreed with the
findings committee that there is no
definite solution to problems con-
fronting America today. His ad-
vice to the Working Girls how
ever was to become allied with or
ganized labor groups and any
other liberal group which exerted
mass pressure.

The Importance of preparation

st. Paul WOmen's
AnDay Meet
Great Success
By A. CORUM

The much talked of Women's All
Day Conference of st. Paul on
March 81, exceeded expectations in
attendance and enthusiasm.
One hundred women were pres
ent when the conference opened at
9 a. m. Before the conference was
over, over three hundred women
were in attendance, many of them
enjoying it so much that they re-
manned throughout the whole day.
The audience was enthusiastic.
Everyone was eager to hear and
see all that had been, planned by
the program committee.
At the close of the day everyone
felt precedent had been set by
the women of St. Paul, and much
benefit had been derived from the
meeting, and that individual con-
facts made during the day had been
invaluable.
The women of st. Paul need to
be congratulated on the fine DEM
onstration of what women can and
will do when the occasion arises.
In summarizing the work of the
day, the resolutions committee rec
commended that the conference be-
come an annual affair, and that the
committee create a permanent Or
ganization.
A meeting has been arranged for
Tuesday, April Is, at p. m. at
Halle @. Brown House at which
time every interested woman is in
vited to become a charter member
of the permanent organization.

last season, her first, with four
leading orchestras of the country,
the New York Philharmonic, the
Boston, the Philadelphia and the
Chicago orchestras.
This season, she is adding to her
triumphs, appearing with other
great orchestras, including the
Minneapolis Symphony with which
she will appear as guest artist at
Northrop Memorial Auditorium on
the University of Minnesota cam
pus Friday night at $3.50 p. m.
Critics Agree
To have a voice which most of
the New York critics hailed as the
discovery of a decade, and to sing
for critical symphonic audiences
who are used to the best, in the
way of vocaism, is difficult repu-
tation to fulfill. Yet orchestras,
conductors and critics alike agree
fervently on Miss Maynor's right
to the highest musical status.
When Miss Maynor sang with
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
under DR.. Frederick Stock, the au-
dience was filled with musicians
and other famous folk, from Rosa
Raisa and Lillian Gish to Paul
NUM- and Katharine Cornell. "The
enthusiasm mounted steadily, and
the public was reluctant to take
farewell of one of the greatest pop
ular and artistic successes of re-
cent years." wrote Eugene Stinson
in the Chicago News. "She sings
with a complete and unerring
musicianship, with true and deep
feeling but most touching of all,
with an integrity so complete that
her only thought of herself is, OBJ
viously, to do her best"
The orchestra, under Dimitri
Mitropoulos, will feature the Ber-
ios Fantastic Symphony and two
new works, Overture" by Zoltan
Kurthy and "Slow Piece for
Strings" by Ross Lee Finney, for
mer Minneapolis man who now is
professor of music at Smith Col
lege in Northampton, Mass.
For her appearance here, Miss
Maynor will sing ooh Sleep Why
Dost Thou Leave Me" from Han
del's "Semele," Agatha's Prayer
from Weber's "Der Freischuetz'
and "Depuis lie Jour" from
Louise" by Charpentier.

slider very seriously the situation
which confronts me as director of

The good people of this city our
Negro friends pledged $6,597.0O
and it was on the strength of the
faith I have in Negro womanhood
and manhood that I went to white
friends to ask for assistance with
this building. The money not
pledges was given on the basis that
our own people make good their
pledges. I insisted that I knew the
pledges would be paid and I still
believe they will if you only were
told the Importance of getting the
money in the office. Please help
me keep faith with those persons
to whom I might have to go back
some day for our cause. I want
them to have confidence in us and
above all we still have to pay for
this building. I want the building
paid for when it is finished so you
won't have to hear about mortgage,
interest and payments. can get
the money to pay balance if only
you will keep your pledge. I am
starting a clean up drive on small
pledges beginning Monday, April Z
April Fl. Will you do your part in
helping to clean up?
