J. S. c.: l am a worried mother.
Please advise me what to do. My
son is in service. My daughter is
working in a war plant in Seattle,
Wash. We don't own a home. Shall
I leave this state and go to my
daughter, or finish my two years
of college this summer? Ny chill
dren don't want me to work, should
l teach and prepare for my future
or go to my daughter?
Ans: 1t is a big temptation to
take this trip to Seattle and take
life easy but by remaining in sum
mer school you will get your two
year certificate. To hold this GER
tificate will insure you Of n higher
rate of pay. Your children will ap-
preciate you much more if you re-
main self-supPOrting and independ-
ent.
r. NJ. N: I'm in love with boy
in the Navy. Before he left he told
me if he pulled thru this war he
would come back and marry me.
He came home on a furlough and he
didn't seem the same. l didn't have
one good talk with him while he
was here. Now have shielded
many tears over him because love
him. He also asked me something
but l refused. Is he kidding?
Ans: He's not the least bit seri-
Gus about getting married. He
realizes that such a step would be
impractical at this time. Neither
does he want to become engaged or
tied down to any one girl while so
young. Before he left he became
sentimental and talked too much
but he didn't really mean all of the
things he said. You handled him
right when he was home on leave.
Unless he takes further steps to
win your love, don't take the young
man too seriously.
NJ. V. j.: received the informa-
ton and guidance l requested from
your service. appreciated your let

me and as soon as they came, he
quit working. What do you think is
wrong and what must l do?
Ans: When a man is relieved of
his responsibility he loses his in
itiative. Your nephew and his wife
are there, paying board which fur
nishes you with enough money for
groceries. Seeing this, your hus-
band feels that he doesn't have to
work as hard as formerly. Prob
ably it is going to fall your lot to
bear right down on your husband
and convince him of the true state
of affairs. 1t is imperative that he
hold a regular job :. your duty is
to show him how much you two can
save by his doing so. Once you can
convince him that you are getting
ahead and have a growing bank &C
count, he will be eager to fall in
with your plans.

Ellington Replaces
Vocalist With
Good LOCKER

DUKE FIRES VOCALIST BETTY
ROCHE; KEEPS PRETTY VIM
JOHNSON WHO CAN'T SING
NEW YORK-Why did Duke Ell
lington get rid of Betty Roche, his
featured vocalist and supplant her
with Wini johnson, former wife of
Stepin Fetchit, and more recently
understudy to Jeni LeGon in early
to Bed" and who played opposite
Canada Lee in the Inflated play,
South Pacific?
The Duke opened recently at the
Hurricane Cafe on Broadway where
he set such a terrific record last
year. Betty Roche, whose ability
as a song stylist places her in a
class comparable to Billie Holiday
and Maxine Sullivan, had a great
future with the Duke. She was as
popular as any soloist when she
sang with Elington's band at the
Capitol Theatre on Broadway last
year on the same bill that featured
Lena Horne. In fact, she was as
busy as could be autographing
things for the huge press of white
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-05-26

fans who ganged her backstage.
Betty Roche was sensational
when she sang with Ellington in
his first Carnegie Hall concert APP
pearance, singing excerpts from
the much talked-about BLACK,
Brown and Beige" opus by the
Duke. The public thought her tops.
Yet, Duke eased her out after he
had added the beauteous Wini to
his roster. Wim Johnson has had
spotted career in the theatre,
married by domestic troubles which
unfortunately got into the papers
to do her little good. Beyond that,
she has everything a colored girl
needs to crash the top drawer set
of the nightlife and theatrical pro-
fession. She is one of those dazzling
brownskins that fairly drips love-
illness. She can dance, act, look
pretty, and is highly intelligent.
BUT SHE CAN'T SING.
Betty Roche has none of WINS
winsome beauty. Neither did Ivy
Anderson, who probably did more
than any other person in the Filing
ton ensemble who didn't play an
instrument-and that includes the
acts such as the Spirits of Rhythm,
Jig-saw Jackson, etc.-to help build
the Duke to international fame. Ivy
Anderson sang. She was a singer
of the rare order and ability of an
Ethel Waters, an old-time trouper
who had the charm to wow Euro
pean audiences and to send audi.
ences in American theatres into
spasms with such songs as 81 Got
1t Bad and That Amt Good" and
at Don't Mean a Thing If You
Amt Got That Swing" Betty
Roche was the first singer who
filled with ease the shoes Ivy An.
derson left when she retired to opeT
q chicken shack in California. But
Betty Roche, graduate of small
Harlem clubs, didn't, couldn't fiji
into the Dukes 1914 ideas for the
future.
Ellington would like to create
another Lena Horne. Lena, as you
know, is the product of whites
of Barney Josephson, Leonard
Feather, John Hammond, Jr., and
others of the Cafe Society outfit
Wini johnson, if she can be pushed
that far, will be a product of the
house of Ellington. Wini has the
same type of beauty as Lens
Horne. She can act, she can dance
Her vocal instrument can be de-
veloped to compare with Horne's
That's why Duke Ellington free
Betty Roche and hired Wini John
son.
In the old days this never would
have happened. No matter how
pretty she was, how shapely, etc.
if the performer didn't fit tn,
situation or the spot, she didn'
get it. Looks didn't count so mucl
as today. But Lena Horne CAM
along and they wrote songs anC
played the music she could sing.
Arrangers can do marvelou.
things with songs. So can song
writers. With as capable an ar
ranger and songwriter as Duk'
Ellington taking a personal hanC
in her affairs, Wini can blame only
herself for failure. Duke doubt.

CALCIUM.
The Great Human
Need

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest Of
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food
the greater the need for more of
dairy products in the regular
everyday diet of all of US.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,
either as a beverage or in cooked
food.
