NEGRO SONG WRITER
pENNED SOPHIE TU(kR'S
"50ME OF These DAYS"

CHICAGO, July 10 (ANP).-A
Negro song writer, Shelton Brooks,
penned Sophie fuckers "Some Of
These Days." the theme song that
made her tradition on the Amer
lean stage.
According to Miss fuckers auto
biography of that same title, it was
here many years ago that she met
song writer Brooks during an en-
gagement at White City on the
south side.
Brooks asked for an appointment
to play a new tune for her one day
but she refused to see him because
she had been harrassed by multi
tudes of song pluggers. Finally her
maid, the late Miss Molly Elkins,
who had been great actress in ear
lier days, advised her to see Brooks.
"You can't afford to avoid any
song writer" she told Miss Tucker.
"It just takes one to come along with
the right tune.p
Sophie needed her advice reluc-
family and invited Brooks to play
his song, "Some Of These Days."
Thrilled by the tune, she immedi-
ately made it her theme song that
aided Miss fuckers climb to fame
on the American stage.

CATION, discrimination and oppres-
sion in Africa" Mrs. Robson points
out certain hopeful exceptions show
ing what has been done there under
great odds. She shows how thor
oughly and devastatingly the Eu-
ropean yoke of oppression has been
wound around the neck of this po-
tentially great continent. We find
here that the African people have
done many things for themselves,
that the Africans are on the march.
Trade union organizations are de-
veloping.
The African people want what all
other people want. They want spe-
officially the labor, civil and political
rights equal to those enjoyed by the
four million Europeans, the small
minority on their continent. They
want decent food, housing, and ed.
ucation They want the right to
work and decent wages for their
labor-and they want the right of
representation in and responsibility
for their own government.
This is not much to ask out of this
war for liberation. Until the Afri-
can people achieve those minimum
essentials, the war and the peace
will not be won for any country.
This is a pamphlet to be read and
circulated by all who think of them
selves as lovers of democracy. 1t can

On African and Colonial Affairs.
Mrs. Robson, wife of the noted ar
tist, is herself distinguished lee
turer and scholar. She has studied
for six years abroad in the fields
of anthropology and economics and
has recently been awarded her doc
tors degree in anthropology from
the Hartford Seminary foundation
in this country.
This pamphlet is important be-
cause the great rich continent of
Africa looms today as the major
testing ground for the policies of
international cooperation as out
lined in our recently completed Uni
ted Nations charter. Americas fu-
ture and the worlds future is de-
pendent upon the substitution, in
place of the old imperialist rivalries
and exploitation, Of new program
directed toward making the Afri-
cans equal partners in a worldwide
system of prosperity and democ-
racy.
The support and furtherance of
this program is the responsibility of
democratic minded peoples of every
country. This support to be effec-
tive must be based on knowledge of
the people we aspire to aid, their
history, their present conditions,
their capabilities and their aspira-
tions. Mrs. Robson gives us this
knowledge clearly and concisely in
this fine pamphlet. She brings for
ward interesting and revealing facts
concerning Africa's ancient civili-
zation, her contribution to world cul-
ture and the situation today in
Africa.

will not be too encouraging, but
nevertheless the full schedule will
be covered.
The schools will continue to re-
ceive the full ceiling price for their
old newspapers, magazines and
cardboard which will make it pos
sible for the PTA and other groups
to purchase much needed equip
ment and certain luxurieS which
are not obtainable out of regular
appropriations.
With record of earnings which
now are in excess of $125,000. the
PTA groups and the papertroopers
have attracted national attention
A magazine with circulation COW

to run an article on the paper
