EXHIBIT AND MEETING
SHOWS MUSIC CONTRIBUTIONS

NEW YORK, Dec. 4 CAMP
Contributions which the Negro can
make to the world of serious music
was dramatized by the first annual
opera meeting and exhibit of the
National Negro Opera Company
held here.
A display of pictures, news clip
pings and programs showing the
history and achievements of the
National Negro Opera Company,
was on view all week in the music
room of the Harlem YMCA. In
formative conferences and discus
sions dealing with different phases
of the opera were led by Reginald
Fisher, Cleveland G. Allen and
Prof. Lawrence Freeman. Included
among notable conference visitors
was Ralph Matthews of Washing
ton, member of the company's ma
tional board. Special events were
mass meeting at the Refuge temple
on Seventh avenue, a vocal contest
in the YMCA Little theater and an
operate concert at st. James Pres
byterian church.
Many who attended the exhibit

met Mary Cardwell Dawson, the
company's founder, producer and
director. Mrs. Dawson is a gradu-
ate of the New England Conserva-
tory of Music and a past president
of the National Association of Ne
gro Musicians. 1t was while she
was conducting her own music
school in Pittsburgh that her mind
first turned to the idea of a Nation
al Negro opera. After years of
training in music and drama, her
most gifted students found the door
to achievement in grand opera
closed to them because of their
race. 1t was, Mrs. Dawson felt,
only by proving to the world that
Negro artists can sing opera as
well as anyone else that the door
could be thrown open.
So in 1941, the National Negro
Opera company, Inc, was born in
Pittsburgh. It's first production,
also in Pittsburgh, was of aida"
The result was electrifying. Not
only were the artists gifted and
well-trained but every detail of bal
let and choral work, of staging and
costuming, was up to the highest
professional standard. That has
been true of every production since.
The display of programs and
news clippings at the recently held
Exhibit begins with the Pittsburgh
school and that first showing of
Aida.
Since that time "Faust" and LA
Traviata" have been added to the
company's reportorire. Perform
ances have been given in the Chi
cago Civic Opera house, the Water
gate in Washington and New
York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Wash
ington, Cleveland, Detroit and
Beckley, w. Va.
The vocal contest finals held in
connection with the exhibit were
given in accordance with the spirit
of the National Negro Opera COM
pany, to open doors of opportunity
to gifted Negro singers. The first
prize went to two applicants: Lii
liam Hayman, mezzo soprano, and

AMERICAN HOME IS DISCUSSED BY
 EvANGELIST BLAIR

Evangelist Charles E. Blair spoke last night at the Bethel Tabernacle on the subject "The American Home. Some of the highlights of the message included that the de- parture from God was the major fac tor in the breakdown of the Ameri- can home. The lack of devotion be- tween husband and wife, parents and children has caused sweep of ju- venile delinquency.
 The Rev. Blair brought out the thought that 50 years ago 75 percent of the population of America lived in the country and the remaining 25 percent lived in cities. Today be- cause of the industrial revolution that has swept the country, things are in the reverse. with 75 percent of the population of the States liv- ing In the cities. The modern pro- duction line and the last four years of war have added to the break down of the American home, he said. The first line of defense for every mother is to train her children in the fear and admonition of the LCrd and preserve the greatest insti- tuition of history, the American home, concluded the evangelist.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. 25.--
The Earl OF Halifax, British Ambas-
sador to the United States, says that
his nations sole policy in liberated
countries is to help them exercise
the right of free choice" in estab-
fishing the form of government they
want.
Speaking to a Chamber of Com
#merce audience here yesterday, he
said it is folly to suppose" that
merely because the population Of
Greece has been liberated you can
have a fair election two weeks from
Tuesday"
There's no machinery to do 1t
in nation where there has been
no popular government in four
years and where there has been de-
struction Of communications, prop
erty and lives" he added.
We only have one purpose in
every one Of these liberated coun-
tries. Our policy is to try to es-
tablish provisional government
In these countries that can take
over much Of the responsibilities for
civil affairs"
He said he didn't think I'VE should
go about the world telling people
they ought to have our particular
way of government" and added:
"A good many of them wouldn't
know what to. do with 1t If they
had it."
The important thing, he declared,
is to bring about good neighbor'
era in which everybody should re-
spect the foundations of interna-
tional security"
"A great deal more than our own
future" depends on the United
States and Great Britain under
