Judges NOT PARTIAL

To the Editor of the Guardian:
Two weeks ago a contest took place
at St. Mark Congregational Church,
sponsored by the Choir Guild of that
church. The competition was open to
all junior choirs, and there were five
entries: Eastern Avenue Baptist and
Union Baptist, Maiden, Peoples Bap-
fist, st. Marks Congregational and
Ebenezer Baptist, Boston. In the
audience which packed the church
there seemed to be a spirit of fine
fellowship and friendly competition,
which prevailed through the grand
finale of the combined choirs. However,
the announcement of the judges deci-
sion seemed to do away with all this,
and there arose much controversy,
which boils down to two issues: ~
was the decision fair one, and ~ was
the winning choir eligible to compete 9?
The judges were chosen very care
fully with every effort towards fair
ness, recognition of merit and absolute
lack of favoritism. None of the
judges were members of any of the
churches represented, and none of them
had any affiliations which would cause
them to lean more to one church than
to another.
The winning junior choir did not
sponsor the contest, is not managed or
paid by and holds no office or member
ship in the Choir Guild. They are
trained and directed by the chorister
OF the church, who is not a member of
the Choir Guild and who is paid by the
church. The Choir Guild is an auxili-
airy which functions as a ways and
means committee to help provide
music and vestment for the senior and
Junior choirs of the church and is
absolutely Independent of the choirs.
There can be no fair criticism of the
winning choir for entering the compe-
tition.
Finally, the newspaper is an effec-
tive weapon and as such should be fair
even though it has the right to be
partisan. 1t seems that WAR.
who contributes music notes to the
newspapers, either did not attend the
contest or deliberately misrepresented
| the judges decision. The report reads
that the judges gave the decision to St.
Marks when it should really have been
tie, since Ebenezer received the same
number of points and had their music
memorized. / will be borne out by any
one present that the announcement
gave the first prize to st. Marks Juni-
or Choir and stated that Ebenezer de-
served special commentator since II
! lost first prize by only three points
Perhaps the general public does moi
tnow the points considered bv The
Judges in their deliberations. Perban,
the memorizing of music was not ;
point. Perhaps the judges might en-.
nghten a dissatisfied public and hell
restore the spirit of fine FELLOWSHIP
present at the start of the contest
Whether or not the decision was
popular one, it still remains that eacl
contestant did its best in fair CONNIE
tltlon, and the winner should be above,
70 wear the laurel.

What Is Segregation?

segregation is the special Amer
lean means of branding COlored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public status.
when the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality Of citi-
zenship, of freedoms of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial Of
presence and Of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as having been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn OF
civil society.
ut is very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves to aid and abet tue idea by
self-segregation."
