RADIANT LIVING
THE LIGHT IN THE
WINDOW
BY REV. c. M. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church. ceciIten. Nd.

It was several years ago that
met her-this old lady who main
tanned in her home a peculiar Gus
tom.
Every night she would light hei
big oil lamp and set it in the bay
window of her front room where its
warm mellow rays could be seen
for some distance up and down the
street.
why do you set that lamp in
the Window" l asked her one eve
ming, as | was calling upon her.
She smiled very sweetly at me
in her motherly way and then she
spoke. Its a peculiar notion OF
mine," she said softly. Somehow
l feel it will give a little cheer to
somebody going by"
Her remark recalled to my mind
how often on a cold winters night
l had been impressed by the rays
of light streaming forth from the
windows of cozy homes. 1t inn
pressed me with the sacredness of
the home life, the preciousness of
its love, the aspirations of those
who lived within. Light streaming
forth from such windows caused
me to feel the worthwhileness of
life and quickened my pace as
though had been touched by some
impelling inspiration.
"And do you know" she broke
in upon my thoughts, they get to
look for it? Everytime I'm away
from home and come back, almost
always somebody will say to me,
I missed your light while you were
away"
"And there was one man." she
confided, "who told me. that one
night when he was so terribly dis
couraged, that he wouldn't have
known what to do, had it not been
for my light"
isn't that fine!" / commended
her. "You certainly are rendering
a very helpful service"
Within my heart l felt a deep
desire to set some kind of a radiant
lamp in the window Of my life that
l too might cheer some unknown
traveller through the night.

BY T. A. HALL. Milford. Del
Some folks wait till the day is done
Before they start in the race to
run, ~ -
Instead of starting at early dawn,
All through the day pressing on
and on.
Now you take cur War Defense,
Some are still sitting on the fence,
Like some chickens with roup or
f g0ut, $50
Wondering still what it's all about.
None Of us are all the show,
But we can flop about and crow,
When. Uncle Sam gains a notch j..
On the map of Europe's bloody
blotch.
All should work daily hand in hand,
Obeying in detail every command,
OF those in authority over us,
For IL we are to win, we surely
must.
There is no place in war that's
easy,
But even lame folks and lazy,
Should sure be willing to guard
Against an invasion of an Euro
pean hoard.
Maybe write and talk like fool,
But can buck like a bucking mule,
When the land love and my loved
ones, too,
Are in such danger, SO why can't
you?

not fully accurate in presenting

says. But one rejects, the thought
that "eYen in terms Of human. fife

Bizet's immortal classic, Carmen. y
According to Hammerstein, Jr.,
producer of the modern epic, the
score has been arranger and or
chestrated by Robert Russell Ben
nett, noted American composer,
and none of the enticing strains
of the original work has been ma
terially changed, the alterations
being barely noticeable.
Hepcat Miller, swingband leader,
will sing the stalwart baritone role
of Togeador Escamilo. Hammer
stien stressed that Swing will not
part of the music, unless it is the
natural swing contained in the
Bizet score, and Bizet wrote good
modern dance music which the all
Negro cast will find to their Xix

In Carmen JONES'" the locale of
Spain changes to the south. The
final scene, which in the original
is staged outside the arena of the
bull fight, will take place instead
in the parking lot of the Hoity-

orchestra leaders their managers
and John Hammond, editor Of
Music and Rhythm, and NAACP
board members, Judge Hubert I.
Delany, of the Domestic Relations
court here, also a NAACP board
member, and Walter White, NAACP

The NAACP proposed on August
&c. in a letter to the ODT, that
that office issue special permits
for the use of a specified number
of chartered buses "of predeter-
mined routes in the southern area
1t was also proposed that the de
termination of the routes be left to
committee composed of orchestra
leaders and their managers, with
Judge Delany and Mr.. Hammond
as co-chairmen.
The NAACP first began work to
lift restrictions on the use of buses
for Negro orcheStras several months
ago, after band leaders and some
of their managers visited the New
York headquarters of the Associa-
ton to ask for advise and aid.
Preceding the September IL
conference was a conference with
ODT officials, arranged by the
NAACP, at which Walter White
and Cab Galloway discussed sal
most insurmcuntabEe difficulties"
which would be imposed on Negro
bands if they we're no longer able
to use buses for travel.
1t was stated at this conference
that unless buses were made avail
able, almost all colored orchestras
would be put out of business. In
southern localities, the orchestra
leaders state, it is often necessary
to travel many miles from a 10
