now actively engaged at target
work down the alleys. This far over
shadows golf in numbers. But golf
still has the call in the matter of
open country and five miles of hik-
ing for some 5000, 900 club swingers
between the ages of s and 80.
Bowling today is by all odds the
most popular sport in the United
States. It is a game that costs far
less than golf, that requires as much
skill, but which still misses the sun
and wind and rain and the longer
leg hike. We are not trying to COM
pare the two, since they are totally
different. They are both great
games.
Neither has the toughening, fiber
making aspect of football and box
ing, in which you have to take and
give a physical beating to get any
where. But not everybody can play
football or box. And almost every
body can play golf or bowl.

"You can improve Negroes
health by extending to them all
our programs Of health welfare,
and social protection. You can
improve morale by not handing
down anything to them, but by
appointing Negro representatives
to Defense Council committees,
so that they will have part in
planning the programs.
''ln conclusion, let me say this:
all this talk is worth nothing if
you members of the councils do
not put it into action. What we
need in all our war programs is
fewer glogans from Washington
and more slugping in the states
and counties. All the fine talk
in the world is a. nothing to a
single direct act. Your action
here at home may not win this
war, but the war will not be won
without it,"

though Dunbar was only "a when

Cling years. After a period as tuba
player and bass fiddle slapper, with
Fletcher He.lderson's outfit, Kirby
decided to organize an orchestra
that would play his own style of
precise and subtle hot jazz He had
by this time established a reputa-
ton as an instr,lmentalist and ar
ranger 1T took him six months to
find the men he wanted.
Since the beginning there has
not been single replacement in
the orchestra, except for short
time when O'Neil Spencer was i'll.
He's back now. This is considered
record, since ordinarily there is
quite turnover of jazz musicians,
with some leaving to join other
bands and others forming their
own organizations.
In its five years the Kirby band
has had much success in three
fields--recordlngs, night clubs and
radio. Their record albums are on
the best seller lists and they have,
been at Uptown Cafe Society since
the latter part of 1941. When this
engagement is concluded they are
scheduled to go to Hollywood to
play in a film history of hot jazz,
