Shadow and Substance"
Receives Hearty Applause
From First-night Audience

Atlantic, Georgia, November Z
- Special - Opening their
twelfth season last night in Howe
Memorial Hall, Spelman College,
the university Players, dramatic
organization of Atlantic Univer-
sity, Morehouse College, and Spell
man College, added to their alur-
els of previous years in the pre-
sentation of Paul Vincent Cor
rolls great play Shadow and
Substance. From beginning to
end, the production moved along
smoothly and held the close atten-
tion of the audience through four
acts. hTe director was Baldwin w.
Burroughs, formerly of the fac
ulty of Tillotson College in Texas.
The cold and austere set de-
signed by Alma Vaughn of Allan
ia. provided a fitting background
for the action of the play, and the
lighting by Ernest Threadgill of
San Antonio, Texas, was effective
in changing the atmosphere of the
play from a CHEEKY wormth to a
chilly GOODNESS.
hTe Players gave excellent per-
formances. The simple faith OF
Brigid, portrayed by Mary Gay OF
Atlanta, was wildly contrasted
with the cold and cynical Canon
played by Lewis Peterson of Hart
ford, Connecticut. The lighter side
of the play was provided in tn,

TACOMA NOTES

The members of the Glover Leaf
Art Club assembled at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Sarah Jenkins.
South 7th Street on last Wednes-
day evening to compliment her
on her birthday anniversary. This
was carried out by the way of a
course dinner prepared and
served by the members of the
Hub. The table was resplendent
with handsome immaculate IT.
ish linen cloth and napery. For
centerpiece was a gorgeous clus-
ter of Russet chrysanthemums
and all about the dining room and
the drawing room to give the
autumn touch of the approaching
Thanksgiving holiday. Sparkling
cut-glass and cleaning silver adj
ded not a little to the perfect
picture of an artistic setting.
Seated at the head of the table
was the recipient of honor, Mrs.
Jenkins and at the opposite foot
was the Elder James Hall, all to
partake of a toothsome four
course dinner. At the close of the
dinner hour the birthday greeting
cards were brought forth and
read by the secretary of the club
= Mrs. Mary Moore. There were
also pretty gifts bestowed upon
Mrs. Jenkins from friends at
home and out side. Not the least
of these was a gift from her sis
ter, Mrs. Fannie Frazier of Seat
tie. The next feature was the with
drawal of the group to the draw
ing room where a roaringly bril-
liant fire glowed in the fireplace
to give forth cheer and to inspire
the circle to the point of recount
ing incidents and stories. This
picture was emphasized by the
pitter-patter of the rain outside.
Guests of the club were the Rev.
James Hall, Mrs. Lewis Hender-
son of Los Angeles, Mrs. Robert
J. Allen or Birmingham, Ala;
Mrs. Alice Roberts and Mrs. Ethel

Chest Worker Figures
New Contribution Plan

Now that the Community Chest
campaign is over for another
year, and as one who has partici-
pated In this campaign for num-
Der of years, especially in the in
dustrial division. I would present
the following suggestions for CON
sideration.
Over the period OF years of my
experience with the Chest I have
come to some definite conclusions.
as | am sure other have done.
I'irst-There are a lot of loyal,
civic-minded, liberal people in
Spopane whose hearts are as big
as the mountains and who always
do their share willingly.
second-There are too many
people in Spokane who give the
smallest amount they think they
can get by with, and give that
grudginkly.
Third-There are also entirely
too many people who will not give
unless forced to do SO and who
have no respect or sympathy for
their fellowmen. They are able to
give, have regular jobs, but their
lives are too self-centered to con-
slider the neds of worthy citizens
who need help.
There should be a way of Sc
curing a more unanimous giving
by all those regularly employed,
or who make their living in the
community.
The first group need no such
method. For the next two groups
l would suggest a concentrated eff
fort be made to induce all employ |
ers of labor in Spokane to formu-
late a plan in their organization |
whereby each employee would |
contribute a definite fixed amount |
each month to a fund for COM
work, in which at the
time of the drive could be divert
ed toward the Community Chest
of the employees of
that aprticular plant.
The amount of time and labor
saved would be tremendous and |
each employee could feel that
thep had an equivalent share in
filling up the Chest. 1t would then
be real community effort and
every one would feel better for its
having been done that way.
l would suggest the following
monthly contribution:
Up to 500 per month, 25 cents
monthly; s1OO to $3.50 per month
SO cents monthly; over $3.50 per
month, 81.
This would build up a sum
more commensurate with the
needs of the community and with
each individuals ability to pay
and the Chest would be filled
much more rapidly.
Everybody would then belong
to the first group mentioned;
loyal and supporting citi-
zens.

Issue Threatens
SOuth's SOIiditv

The fifht in the senate over tn,
administrations anti-poll tax Law
has precipitated a row within the
Democratic party that threatens
to break the partys hold on the
solid SOUTH"
The bill is aimed at the remov-
al of an instrument by which the
the whole party structure and its
solidity has been maintained in
eight Of the southern states. This
political structure in turn has
maintained a social system, based
on white supremacy, which sur
vived the post Civil war recon-
struction period only after DIES
perate struggle with carpet bag
reformers.
1t was that struggle which sol
idified the south in its unyielding
fealty to the Democratic party
a fidelity founded less on a COM
munity of political principles than
upon unforgiving resentment of
the corrupt and vicious conditions
imposed by vengefu1 northern
zealots during reconstruction days
when the Republican party con-
trolled the national government.
AS result this large segment
of the Union has held to a one
party system through the years.
Factions h ave developed. of
course, but each and every faction
chung jealousy to the name of
Democrat. And in every national
election since reconstruction, with
but one exception, that in 1928,
the south cast its solid electoral
vote for the Democratic candidate
for President.
The poll tax is one of the de-
vices by which the Democratic
party in the south has maintain
ed one-party sway and white po-
litical control. The tax must be
paid before the citizen is eligible
to vote and, consequently, it dis
franchises a large part of the pop
ulation who can not or do not pay
because of poverty, carelessness or
ignorance.
Naturally the opposition to the
bill to abolish the poll tax comes
from southern senators, particu-
larly from thos representing the
poll tax states. The feeling 1t has
stirred in them is bitter, deep
seated, elemental. They are fight
ing, not for the integrity of their
party, but in defense of to them
a cherished political and social in
stllutlOn-tne1r way or l1fe-for
the things that are fundamental
TO them and transcend mere
party consideration.
They are shocked that this bill |
which they charge is an invasion
of their rights and know is a
threat to their privileges should |
be sponsored by their own party. |
They feel that they have been be-
trayed in the house of their
friends. and it is against those |
friends their anger turns as they |
fight desperately to ward off a de- |
cision which will go against them |
if the bill comes to a vote.
