Play IS Voted
Big Success

The all Hi-play, "Toby Helps
Out, presented to the public Fri.
day night was a great success.
This hilarious comedy involved
a group of teen-agers, who put
on a supposedly serious melo-
drama which turned out to be
one of the rib ticklers of the sea-
son.
The young folks entered the
play, without much practice, in a
contest sponsored by the rich old
lady of the town. She promised
them if they won the contest she
would build community build
ing with swimming pool, tennis
CT urts, etc., for the benefit of all
the young people of the whole
town.
The play was believed ruined
when Toby, who had one of the
most serious parts, made wise
cracks during the saddest part of
the play, of course as it turned
out, it wasn't ruined but instead
Toby had won the contest for
them and everything turned out
happily.
Toby was played by Reginald
Rock, a senior; Marion Routh, also
a senior was Johnny in the main
play, played the villain in the
melodrama and between the two,
the comedy was kept light, Rosetta
Albrecht played Molly and was
the villainous in the contest. Caro-
lyn Travis, as Jane, the heroine,
Mitchell Kershaw as Dave and the
hero in the play within the play
gave fine performances. The sup
porting cast of Ronells McGarr
as Mrs. Harvey, Imogene Spur
geon as Betty Lou, Frances Dick
inson as Mrs. Phelps and Henry
Hammock as Mortimer helped to
hold the audience in suspense and
laughter.
All in all the play showed an
excellent example of fine direction
and very, very fine acting.
Special honors 60 to Mrs. Ethel
Christie, Kennewick Highs ORA
mates teacher who is responsible
for the production.

new YORK H00DLUMS
STOP PICTURE SHOW
BY B0KTER0US ACTION

NEW YORK, Mar. / (ANP).-
The wave of boisterous action by
Negro jitterbugs in motion picture
houses struck the Loew State. thea
ter when six 17-year-old boys
brought supply Of wine into the
show and on front-row seats pre-
pared to "take over" More than
1,5O0 people were disturbed, two
patrolmen were finally called in and
the manager was compelled to dis
continue the picture showing until
the boys were elected from the
theater.
The boys entered the theater at
$50 am, and for three hours they
sat drinking wine and allegedly
making wise cracks and using vul-
gar language. When they were
found to be disturbing other pa
irons the assistant manager, Miss
Eleanor Schwerdtfeger, was called
in and pleaded with them. She later
testified that the "young hoodlums"
called her all sorts of vulgar names
and completely disregarded her au-
thority.
Finally two patrolmen were called
in, but the boys rejected all at
tempts at being taken out and al
legedly remarked that they had paid
their way and intended to stay The
police officers ordered the manager
to stop the show and turn on the
house lights. 1t was half hour la
ter when the picture got underway
again, when the young hoodlums
were forced out of the theater.
This carrying on was similar to
recent occurrences in Chicago thea
ters where the action of young jit-
terbugs has been criticized particu-
larly in the downtown shows featur-
ing colored orchestras, and at the
Tivoli theater, the southside's larg-
est theater

the serious danger of his rawlings.
The Citizens Committee will not
be swerved from it's resolution to
move Mr.. MacFarlane from the
principalship of Dunbar High School
as the first step toward the achieve
ment of Democracy in Dayton
Schools. We regard as irrelevant un-
complimentary references to social
status, the ludicrous attempt to fos-
ter class divisions by none too SUBJ
tie appeals to emotions and his per-
nicious attacks on the integrity of
the committee.
Our opposition is based solely up
on Mr.. MacFarlane's record as a
principal and a community leader
Up to this point no reply has ever
intimated that his records warrant
his retention. The record is clear ano
plain and on that basis, the issue is
joined Frederic C. MacFarlane has
outlived his usefulness as a public
servant in this community. We pro-
pose to send him to that 49th state

proclaimed as the ideal salvation o1

FEAT5 Of NEGRO
ARTlllERYMEN AT
BA5T0GnE WILL BE
LONG REMEMBERED
BY James A. Sanders

WITH U. S. FORCES IN THE
ETO, March l (ANP) (Delayed).-I
The "Rover Boys" came back from
hell, back from the epic defense Of
Bastogne where through a night
marish period they served as direct
artillery support to the famed 101st
air borne division in the Ardenne
salient. The kill-crazed Nazis threw
everything in the book at them and
these Negro artillerymen caught it
and threw it back into the teeth of
Won Runstedt's swine. The heroism
of Robert Brooks and Dorie Miller
gave birth to a tide of heroics to
which anything else is anti-climatic,
but the feat of these Negro artil-
lerymen with their 155mm. how
itzers will take it's place with the
ranking sagas Of this or any other
war.
They faced and stopped some of
the Reich's best panzer columns;
they knocked out particularly bad
six gun enemy battery; they
sweated out concentrated mortar
: fire; they repulsed a half dozen en-
emy attacks, two of them of bat
talon strength; they stood their
ground in the face of blistering
Christmas Eve attack by the luft-
waite; they poured their fire on
troops, tanks, artillery batteries,
armored cars and everything that
appeared on the wrong side of no.
mans land.
Still the Nazis pressed in, into a
few hundred yards of the gun posi-
tions, so desperate were they. Un-
daunted, the artillerymen pulled
their guns in until the whole bat
talon was firing on a front of less
than 500 yards, pouring death from
their howitzers from $50 degrees

this opportunity of responding to
the recent article appearing in the
local papers on the date of March /.
We must first express our sincere
admiration for the personal loyalty
of this group of Mr.. MacFarlane's
friends, whom we believe have un-
shaken confidence in him as a man
the exercise of which trust is
their democratic right, which we
would be the last to deny them but
we trust that the signers of the
statement are the actual writer's of
the same, for to us" the hand is the
hand of Esau but the voice is the
voice Of Jacob"
The public interest demands that
some reply be made to the state
ments given although some Of the
retorts to the charges made by our
group are SO far fetched and beside
the point as to be justifiably ig-
nored but we shall answer the most
fantastic of these.
So cleverly does the writer of this
article attempt to evade specific
charges made by our committee that
only the most astute would fail to
be deceived. To state that "the story
is an old one-a personal attack on
figure so unique in character and
so superior in intellect that citizens
in the community, actively engaged
in, efforts towards it's betterment,
are simply jealous Of his prestige,
is the type Of defense that only
desperate defeated man would seek
to employ.
The writer of the article points
out that even his opponents admit
his ability as a public speaker, but
we must remind Dunbar defense
that to be good platform speaker
or great linguist does not qualify
him as good administrator of a
high school nor as leader in the
community. Does Mr.. MacFarlane
not realize that Masters degrees
are so common these days that to
hold one as does he, places him mere
ly in the class of the masses" to
whom he claims such superiority.
The suggestion Of the writer that
teachers be called to make personal
accusations seems cowardly in that
it is common knowledge that he has
always sought to persecute those
dared to challenge his opinions. Il
the Board of Education would assure
those teachers that their jobs woulc
not be at stake if they gave honest
testimony, it might be revealing
what facts would be disclosed.
Why did Mr.. MacFarlane have tt
go to Crown Point to find minister:
to sign a statement in his behalf
Are there no ministers in the Wes'
Side area to support him? Why cal
he not now summon to his defens'
those citizens who so enthusiast
cally introduced him to the city o.
Dayton? Where are these friends
| today?
That Mr.. MacFarlane has beel
elected to membership in severa
civic organizations is no evidence o
the fact that he has contribute
, more than his presence. His posi-
, ton suggested that he be included
1t may, however, be taken as trag
!. edy that white citizens in Dayton
many Of whom are unaccustomed t
, meeting Negroes with fluency Q
speech are deceived by the manne
of his delivery and are unaware o
