HELP IN BOND DRIVE

There is no professional group
in the county that is more re-
spected and so closely in touch
with the great majority of our
people as the pastors of our
churches.
Some say that preachers
should not have anything to do
with a matter of this kind 7
think that it is a matter of so
much Importance that all of us
owe duty to our church and to
our country to do all in our pow
er to hasten the victory over ia
pan and to aid in bringing about
peace which we hope and pray
will be lasting peace.
''The issue in this war is clear
If Japan should win, it would set
back the cause of Christianity for
centuries.
God commanded His people TO
go out and fight against wrong
and heathenism. The same God
lives today.
''Mr. Tyson and l hope that you
will be willing to bring this mat
ter to the attention of our people
in the pulpit and in your person
al contacts and urge our people
to do their part in this great
cause by buying War Bonds to
furnish the means by which the
boys, who are offering their all,
can finish this job as quickly as
possible.

CHICAGO ART CENTER
BECOMING CULTURAL
MECCA OF NATION
By Margaret Taylor GOss

CHICAGO, July 6 (ANP)-In
the heart of Chicago's black belt
stands one of the country's most
important cultural institutions, the
South Side Community Art center,
housed in what was the old Com
iskey mansion in the 39th block on
Michigan avenue. 1t is amazing
now to look back seven years ago
to the small band of enterprising
and cultural minded Southsiders
organizing, holding their first
meetings over an undertaking par
lor, visiting churches, schools and
centers and standing on street cor
ners selling the dream of an art
center to the people.
They did a god job Of it for two
years later, sufficient funds had
been amassed for the committee to
set out to find a suitable site to
house the art center.
In December of 1910 the South
Side Community Art center opened
it's doors. In May, 1941, the insti-
tuition was formally dedicated at
a nationwide broadcast by Mrs.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and DR..
Alain Locke, dean of American Ne
gro culture.
Since that time the art center S
doors have remained open, servic-
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-07-06

the center from all over the coun-
try and the world on all subjects
related to art and culture. From
the deep south come letters from
farmers and domestic workers ask
ing for advice about continuing
their art study. From Europe come
requests asking for catalogues
from various exhibits.
Mrs. K. Marie Moore was the
first president of the sponsors COM
mittee. She was succeeded by Mrs.
Pauline Kigh Reed and the present
president is Mrs. frankie Raye
Singleton. Peter Pollack was the
first director. At the present time,
Rex Gorleigh is director. Commun-
ity support and the loyal efforts of
several hundred members have
made this center possible.

ious arts and crafts available to
youngsters and adults, presenting
lectures on cultural subjects, ar
ranging exhibits of paintings by
local and national figures in the
art world, sending exhibits of the
works of Chicago Negro artists to
various parts of the country on re-
quest.
The part that the federal arts
project played in the development
Of the center is invaluable for in
the first years until its curtailment
it supplied teachers and staff to
run the center. 1t is the only center
in the nation surviving of the many
launched by WPA.
The center's program is divided
into three main sections, school,
exhibitions and lectures. In the
free classeseoffered by the school,
every possible effort is made to
give children and adults sound
cultural background, because of the
deplorable living conditions in the
South Side area and the low eco
nomic standards affecting the peo-
pie of the community and the over
crowded schools, the art center
comes forward as bulwark in the
fight against juvenile delinquency.
Through art expression on some of
the community's so-called problem
children have become the best Gre
ators.
Exhibitions in the two main gal
leries are presented monthly with
all schools of art being represented.
Some of the most outstanding ex-
hibits include comprehensive
showing of the works of Henry O..
Tanner, Richmond Barthe, Gordon
Rogers Parks, Frank Neal, Charles
Prayer Haig, Hughie Lee Smith
and others, cartoons of the Recon-
struction era by Henry Jackson
Lewis and several excellent salons
by the Lens Camera Club.
Community lectures are ar
ranged at the center and speakers
on various phases of art are sent
out into the community on request.
An interesting annual feature Of
the center and it's principal finan-
cial venture is the artists and mod
els ball. This affair brings together
some Of the community's talent and
artistry, creating a spectacle of
music, art and the dance. A number
of the young artists who have ap-
peared in the various balls are now
appearing in Broadway and Holly
wood productions.
At the present time, the center
is established as the cultural hub
of the community. It's program has
been expanded to include many of
the other arts. A little theatre is
being contemplated. Poetry and
fiction classes have encouraged the
emergence of several talented
