IT'S SIXTEENTH AN
NUAL MEETING

Judging by early reservations
received at the office of the Min
neapolis Urban League, attendance
at the Leagues Sixteenth Annual
Meeting will exceed that of former
years, according to Chas. w. Wash
ington, executive secretary.
The committee in charge of the
dinner, directed by Mrs. Josephine

second speaker will be Chas. L.
Horn, president, Federal Cartridge
Corporation, and prime contractor
for the Twin Cities Ordnance
Plant.
The thousands of dollars in
wages received by Negroes in the
Twin Cities as a result of the dem
ocratic stand Mr.. Horn has taken
on the matter of employment,
should inspire people of both races
to meet him and hear what he has
to say.
C. l. Harris, president, board of
directors of the Urban League, will
preside at the meeting. Directors
and officers will be elected for the
ensuing fiscal year.
Highlights of the accomplish
ments of the Urban League will be
presented by the executive secre-
tary. Job placements made by the
Urban League during the past year
exceed those of any previous year
in the history of the local organi-
cation. Also significant progress
has been made toward getting
other established agencies to as
sumo more responsibility for serv-
ices to Negroes.
Thomas Tolerson, dramatic tenor
and WDGY radio artist, will rem
der several selections. The dinner
will be held in the main ballroom

HALLE @. BROWN NOTES


The Halle @. Brown Glee Club
was at its best in it's appearance
last Friday night, March 6, at
Hamline Methodist Church. Mr..
Whitaker and the Glee Club re-
ceived many we'll deserved compli-
ments.
Mrs. Leah M. Young and Miss
Laura Jeffrey are to be congratu-
lated on the splendid program of
the Nursery Mothers Club. At the
March 6 meeting two movies of
model nursery school were shown.
The gym at Halle is busy these
days what with the women and
girls participating in basketball,
badminton, archery and tumbling,
and the boys and men adding to
those sports, boxing.
Miss Jane Murphy's tumbling
group is truly mushrooming. Start
ing with a small group of girls Z
to 9 years old, it is growing in
numbers and older girls are be-
coming interested.
Basketball has been exceedingly
popular this season with two
strong intramural teams and two
teams entered in the City League,
in which the Juniors were the
champions and the Intermediates,
the runnerups in their respective
divisions.
With the basketball season draw
ing to close Halle has a grand
finale planned. On Friday, March
ID, the third annual Joe Louis
A. C. of Duluth Halle @. Brown
game will be played on Hallie's
floor. That is always an exciting
game.
March Is through March 20 the
City, Wide Amateur Basketball will
be held. Some of the games will
be played at the Jewish Education
al Center, but all the semi-finals
and finals as well as half of the
first contests will be played on
Hallie's court. Already entered in
this tournament are such cracker
jack teams as Hamline, St. Thorn
as, Montgomery, Mimi, St. Cloud
Teachers, Fl. Smelling, Neighbor-
hood House, Marshall, Manchester,
st. Francis and many others.
The browning event of the sea-
son will be the State-Wide ANA
teur Tournament which will attract
the best basketball players in the
state who have won fame through
out the season. Players will come
from Gilbert, Chisholm, Eveleth,
Hibbing, Duluth, Minneapolis, Fari-
bault, Rochester, st. Paul, etc.
These games will be held at Halle
on March 81 and March %.
It should be very gratifying to
those people who have made it pos
sible for Halle to have this grand
new gym when they see it take its
place as a favorite for holding
these stellar athletic events. 1t
will, moreover, do its bit to fur
ther racial understanding and good
fellowship. Come on over and share
in it's use.
Have you seen those attractive
pins the Boys and Girls of Yester-
day are wearing? The maroon
letters B G Y on background of
gold produces a very rich looking
pin. They are indebted to the gen
erosity of Oliver Taylor for these
pins.

Whihy Leaves West

LOS ANGELES, March 90
Whirlaway's enforced California va
cation ended today.
The forgotten horse of winter
racing, whose arrival at Santa Anita
last November was an historic event
in turf annals here, packed up his
baggage and left for Kentucky.
The triple-crown champion Of
1941 was greeted by thousands when
he landed at Santa Anita. He left
with only a few well-wishers and
train dispatcher bidding him
good-by.
Behind this great horse was the
richest ghost track in the world,
Santa Anita, and a golden oppor-
tunity to pass Seabiscuit as the
greatest money winner in the sport
Whirlwind Whirlaway came to
Santa Anita to run in the 100000
Santa Anita Handicap and other
rich stake events. Victory in them
would have sent his earnings past
the Seabiscuit record of $437. .730.
But there was no racing at Santa
Anita; there were no gold-plated
stakes and no 100000 classic. The
war shut down the track.
Whirly is going back to his Blue
Grass State. He's going back in
good racing shape, soon to cam
paign in the East, and he's going
back in style.
He's travelling in the Calumet
Stables two special horse cars
hitched on to the Santa Fe Chief.
With him are other horses OF the
Ben Jones-trained stable.
There's Sun Again, the Arlington
Futurity winner and Calumet S
