Tenor of Opera Co,
In Recital At
jackson College

Wallace Thompson, tenor, of City
Center Opera Company of New
York will appear in concert reci-
tai at Jackson College on Tuesday,
April II, at 8:15 pm.
Mr.. Thompson's rise to fame and
success has been sensational and is
one ofx the outstanding Negro sue
cess stories of the decade. He made
his concert debut four years ago in
his home town, Boston, following
study and coaching with such emin
ent musicians as Roland Hayes,
Gulielmo Gheradi and the COM
poser, Mrs. M. H. Gulesian. His
varied singing experiences include
his association with the great Ne
gro composed, Harry T. Burleigh,
as a member of the choir of the
famous ST. George church in New
York City.
About two years ago the young
artist was auditioned by organizers
and directors of the City Center
Opear Company. AS a result of
competition with 600 other sing
ers, Thompson was one of the As
singers finally chosen to become
members of the company. The pres
cert tour, because of previous COM
mitments, interrupts at present this
work with the City Center Opera
Company.
Wallace Thompson who is under
the concert management of the
Star Artists Bureau of New York
comes to Jackson Immediately fol-
lowing engagements at Alcorn Col
lege, Bishop College, Texas; Tyler
College, Texas and Miles Memorial
College, Birmingham.
The Boston Globe says of Mr..
Thompson: mr. Thompson is first
of all gifted with voice of rare
quality and he uses it knowingly;
he has as inherent feeling for the
musical and poetic meaning of
songs. Of great appeal is the bril-
liant quality of his upper notes
when inging forte and the mel
lowness of his middle range. Mr..
Thompson possesses genuine must
cal sensibility and sincerity of
manner. He uses flexible and
well modulated voice with intelli-
gence and understanding"

Hospital Planned For Madison
County Negroes in Canton
Project Deserving Support
Of Every Citizen

Much interest has been manifest
ed by both white and colored citi-
ems in the proposed Negro Memoir
ial Hospital. The institution is to
be built as a memorial to the Ne
groes who are serving or have SER
we'd in the armed forces of our
country.
The need for such an institution
is very evident, as 1875 per cent of
the population of the. county is
colored, and at present the only
hospital facilities provided are at
the Kings Daughters Hospital
which has two wards and two pri-
vate rooms for colored patients.
Application has been made for the
charter. The hospital is to be a
non-profit institution. The charter
provides that there shall be fifteen
trustees, ten colored and five
white.
The White Trustees are Johnnie
Vohner, Joe Teaver, Stanley Mat
thews, Frank Allen and Robert H.
Powell, while the colored trustees
are: Cage Sutherland, Ben Tate,
Bruce Coleman, Eugene Virgins,
Dan Williams, ST., Irwin A. Frank
lin, L. NJ Tolliver, E. v. O'Bryant,
A. M. Rogers and R. M. Mackey.
The institution will be built by
the contributions from all the peo-
pie in the county. 1t has been esti-
mated that the proposed institution
viii cost approximately $4,000. No
difficulty is anticipated in receiv-
ing priority for materials once the
money is in hand.
Mississippi has one hospital bed
for each 1000 persons, while the
nation averaged one person out of
every 100 in a hospital bed in 1943.
In Madison county there are only
Ia beds for more than 10000 col
ored people. We have less than one
bed for every 1000 Negroes in the
county. With the shortage of doc
tors it is impossible for all the Ne
groes to receive medical treatment
in their homes.
1t is doubtful if any other prof.
ect would receive such wholeheart-
ed support by both races.

DR.. Ammons
Thinks Of
COlored Patrons

Attic confined to bed at the Bap-
fist Hospital, convalancing from a
serious illness, Mr.. Ammons, own
er of the Ammons Drug Store, To-
Gated on the corner of Grayson and
Fertilization streets, is not unmind-
full of his hundreds of colored Gus
toners and expresses himself as
being greatly appreciative of their
continued patronage.
Mr.. Ammons has operated this
Drug Store, here in the heart of a
section of the city that is thickly
populated by colored citizens, for
Is years, and his kindness to in
dividuals and groups has gained
for him many friends both white
and colored. He has been greatly
missed by his colored patrons dur
ing this illness.
While away from his business,
Mr.. Ammons left the operation of
the drug store into the hands of
Mr.. Whitaker who has rendered to
all customers, the same courteous
and efficient service always rend-
cred by the owner.
1t is hoped by his many friends
that Mr.. Ammons will soon be up
and about his regular duties.

Series of Club
Rallies Planned
Ii, Kinds County

The first of a series of club rail-
lies was held at Terry Grove
school, Terry, Miss.
There were two hundred and
seventy three girls and boys pres
ent who rededicated their Heads,
Hearts, Hands and Health to the
welfare of their clubs, commune
ties and county. These Alters
presented a well balanced program
consisting of play title "Adven-
lures Along the All Way" demon
STATIONS and recreation.
With such a well balanced pro-
gram, it is difficult to select high
lights. Perhaps the outstanding no.
ties were the prevalence of uniform
and the enthusiasm that permeated
the air.
A final impression cleaned from
this rally is the increasing scope
of the work not only in this dis
trict but throughout the county.
One could see this from the exhibit
of sack dresses, aprons, dish tow
els, pillowcases, pot holders and
handkerchiefs.
Mention should be made of the
fine dinner served by the faculty
and partons of Terry.
Visitors present were: Mrs. Bea-
trice Childress, Negro Girls Club
agent, Mr.. G. c. Cypress, Negro
boys club agent, Mrs. C. c. Cypress,
Mrs. Cleo Smith of Meridian, and
eighty two women and men from
the various communities.
The agents are planning even
greater rallies at Bolton, April 2
and Raymond, April %.

Sudden Death Of Beloved
President on Thursday, April
IL, Stuns Entire World
Funeral Services Saturday, 4P.M.;
Harry S. Truman Now President
By SARAH Nj. HARVEY

We of this paper join in with
peoples the world over in mourn
ing the sudden death of one of the
greatest men to have ever lived,
President Franklin Delano Roo
sevelt, the 32nd President of the
the United States, to whom death
came Thursday, April IL, at 1855
pm. Mr.. Roosevelt died of a cere-
bral hemorhage at the Warm
Springs Foundation where he had
been since March 80, resting.
Mr.. Roosevelt's death is consid-
cred by all people as irreparable
loss and to the Negro who remem-
bers him as his most stalwart cham
pion, his greatest friend and bene-
factor, there are not words to des-
cribe the feeling of sorrow, that
engulfs the whole race.
Mr. Roosevelt was the first pre-
sident of the United States to be
elected for a fourth term, he died
in the fourth month of his fourth
term.
Were we to use this entire issue,
we could not relate the numerous
acts of this great man, during the
past II years that benefited the
world in general and Negroes in
particular, however, we do not feel
that it is necessary to even try
to relate them here.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was
the greatest President we have
known-he was considered a great
president by all races all creeds and
all colors. Again, we say, the world
has suffered an irreparable loss by
his death.
Funeral services have been plan
ned for today at pm in the East
Room of the White House.
At 7:30 pm, Thursday, April II,
Vice President Harry S. Truman
took up the burden and honor of
being the 33rd president of the I'm
tied States of America.
