Mrs. Perkins Is
Hostess To Club

Mrs. Paul Perkins was hostess
to the Baldwin home demonstra-
ton club last week.
The devotionals were conduct
ed by Mrs. J. c. Gambill and
the minutes read by Mrs. Ross
Houck. The other business of the
meeting was postponed.
With Mrs. Boney and Mr..
Payne, was Mr.. Myron Maxwell,
who is in charge of Extension En-
tomology. Mr.. Maxwell was
most instructive in bringing a
motion picture on garden insects,
to the club. With this, he fully
explained vegetable insect con-
troll, giving valuable bulletins on
same. GAS there is a necessity
for bigger and better gardens"
Mr.. Maxwell said, ''it is important
that we conserve all food"
The following information was
given to the club by which to ap-
ply to their victory gardens: Ma
ny insecticides commonly used in
controlling garden insects are
now very scarce, due to war con-
ditions, which necessitate altering
recommendations and using other
materials which are very scarce,
and every effort should be taken
to conserve the supply, to assure
adequate supplies for the season,
for use on certain crops where
poisonous insecticides can not be
used. Cyrolite, a slightly poison
Gus white powder, and Pyroclde,
a non-poisonous dust, are the two
most satisfactory intersecticldes
which are now available. Zone
present supply of rotenone must
be used only for beans", Mr.. Max
we'll warned the club.
Delicious refreshments were
served by the hostess, assisted by
Miss Lenna Gambill and Mrs. j.
&c. Gambill.
The May meeting will be held
at the home of Mrs. Fred Ray.

MARIAN ANDERSON
THE GOLDEN
BY ANSELM0 KRUGER

(KNS) In the years that we
have heard Miss Marian An
derson, the worlds greatest con-
tralto sing, never did we sus-
pect that in addition to other
fine humane qualities that she
possessed a heart of gold.
Miss Anderson divulged this
hidden treasure at her recent
recital here when at the last
minute, after hearing that cher
house" was sold out since the
previous Wednesday chat
meant $500 persons in the audi
ence) the charming lady, who
was stopping at the Hotel Lenox
in Boston, told the management
of Symphony Hall that it was
her wish that service men and
women be allowed to sit free on
the stage as her special guests.
These seats usually sell for
$3.50 apiece when artists such
as Miss Anderson sing at SYM
phony Hall, SO that you readers
who are good at arithmetic will
be able to figure out how much
money Miss Anderson might
have realized when you note
that $50 free tickets were given
service men and women.
The incompatible lady sang
as only she can sing. We I'M
derStand from a musicians OBJ
ervation that her voice is even
better than it was on her last
appearance in Boston.
Her lovely Yale blue dress set
off her bronze beauty and her
charming simplicity was only
offset by her great magnam-
unity.
Boston's colored intelligentsia
usually hold full sway at Miss
Anderson's RecitalS, but this
year the large number Of white
patrons overshadowed us poor
colored ticket purchasers. Most
Of the colored people present
had waited too long to buy tick
cts and therefore had to sit in
the balcony and gallery or try
to buy returned tickets at the
box Office at the last minute.
We know so little about music
that we do not dare to tell you
of the artistry of Miss Ander-
sons singing, We looked at
our program and did our best
to understand.
After the recital we noticed

max, Boston City Hospital
beauty, who is incidentally is a
graduate nurse from Boston
City Hospital, Miss Sarah Con-
gers, the new paid hostess at
the USO club at $50 Mass. Ave.
BY the way Miss Conyers in her
indefatigible manner left her
Office with tickets for service
men and went to Symphony
Hall to give to passing service
men the free tickets from Miss
Anderson. The last but by no
means least BoStonian we recall
seeing was the lovely and metz
culous Miss Olive Ackiss Of Rox-
bury. We overheard many
ladies complimenting Miss Ac-
kiss on her Alice blue hat, and
her semi-military black broad
cloth with its cape a la West
Point Cadet style. We might
add that the cape was trimmed
with bands of black velvet.
Alas and alack, our secretary
procrastinated in the purchase
Of tickets, she was paid too, and
as a result since no press cards
were honored we could not take
her in to see Miss Anderson and
so we can not properly describe
the stunning blue dress worn by
the one and only Marian Ander-
son, diva extraordinaire.

Ganseff Plans
Coming Season
With Courage

Judge James E. Dooley,
President and executive head
of Narragansett Racing AS
sociation, Inc, this week filed
an application for racing
dates in 1943 with John E.
Martin, Racing Administrator
of Rhode Island. The applica-
ton requests dates for two
meetings; April 10 to May s,
rs days, and August 8 to Sep
TENDER rs, AZ days. SimuItan-
eously, Judge DOOley author
lied the following statement,
which clearly outlines the
tracks policy and thus sets at
rest any doubts or confusion
existing among horsemen and
the general public, as to the
course Narragansett Park will
pursue in this year of 1913.
In applying for racing dates
in 1943," said Judge Dooley,
"the Narragansett Racing AS
sociation is following its usual
custom of requesting dates for
both a spring and summer
meeting. In making this appli-
cation our Association naturally
has in mind the effect upon
racing that a continuance of
the present stringent tranSpor-
tation restrictions would have.
We are permitting ourselves to
hope that the present gasoline
restrictions may be modified be-
fore the time comes for the
opening Of the spring meeting.
Should however, the present
restrictions still be in force, we
believe it will be possible, by
careful management, to operate
the spring meeting and either
break even financially or sus-
tain a reasonable loss. We be-
lieye that enough people will be
able to get to the track, with
out violating the regulations Of
any Federal agency, to warrant
us proceeding with our plans to
operate.
"a continuance Of the pres
ent transportation restrictions
will unquestionaly reduce our
attendances and the volume Of
business viii Of necessity be
curtailed, but not to such an
extent. is our belief, that we
would be justified in discontin-
uing the sport without a fair
trial.
sour Association has definite
obligations to the Federal Gov
eminent, to the State, the
horsemen, to the war agencies
nd other charities, and to the
public. In le42 Naragansett
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1943-01-23

Racing Association paid to the
Federal Government in taxes
the sum of $55O,O00. In 1912 we
paid in taxes to the State Of
Rhode Island the sum of $1,200,-
900, and now more than ever
before, our home state needs
this revenue. In 1912 we diStri-
buted among horsemen purses
amounting to $768,00O and we
were instrumental in raising
$185,000 for War Relief and
other charitable agencies. These
financial contributions are Of
considerable Importance at the
present time.
'People must have an outlet
for relaxation and a means Of
recreation, if working efficiency
is to be maintained at a high
level. This summer it will not
be possible for the workers to
make their usual automobile
trips, nor to take vacations in
the mountains, at the beach or
other resorts, so 1t is logical to
assume that the desire to enjoy
a days racing will be greater
than usual.
eve sincerely hope and trust
our policy will not be miscon-
strued as an attempt to en-
courage people to violate the
regulations Of any Federal
agency. Law abiding and sem
sible people will not attempt to
use their automobiles If the
present restrictions are still in
force.
"'That the public approve the
continuance of racing, even in
wartime, was demonstrated by
its support Of the sport in 1912.
The War Department has defin"
itely expressed the desire to
have sports continue. The fact
that racing continues in such
war-torn countries as England,
Australia, France, Canada, Ger
many and Japan, indicates
strongly that the peoples Of
these countries recognize racing
has distinct part to play in
the life of a country at war.
Racing has surpassed all
other fields OF sporting en-
deavor in gearing itself to the
war effort. 1t is the earnest
desire of our association to
maintain racing in that cate
