outstanding playing. A dance fol-
lowed and there were so many
present, that don't know where
to begin, so I'll just mention a few,
who first caught my glance-They
were, Jocelyn Jones, Pauline Ray,
Leona Mason (who was really
making a wild creep that nite-I
mean, really; Shirley Terrell (who
has L. H. quite crazy about herr ;
Jeanne Conner, Frances Morris,
(who is constantly being seen with
T., lately l wonder); Pat Cart
wright, Pearlie Williams, Verlene
Price (who was with H. G. most Of
the dance) (tee, heel Eddie
Washington was there with a fine
sailor. Ernie johnson (who has
been seen quite STEADY" with n
pretty St. Paulite lass); Lloyd
Gamble, Frank Brown, Billy Nc
Coy (who was paying beauteous,
L. Nc. quite a lot Of attention -
not that anyone can blame him
much. Quite a few handsome st,
Paulites have tried to get some
where with her and failed). Zach
airy Munson, etc. Lois Milsap was
there, with her one and only Joe.
E. L. was making a mad creep,
mainly with L. H. Well, so much
for the game.
Leona Mason is just going slowly
mad trying to make up her mind
to get a feather-cut - say, no.
What'd you say?
Phyllis Neavels, Billy Mccoy
Myra McAdams, and Barney Dun
key made a foursome that went
bowling at the Union depot, Sun
day, and had a lot of fun-so |
hear . Virginia Robinson held
an uninvitational party at her
home, Sunday night. Just a few
of the many present were, Lorraine
White, Alma Camp, Leola Graham,
Joe Patterson, Richard Everett,
Jimmy Miller, Harold Demery,
Gene Goss, Tommy Roberts, Percy
Zachary, and LaRahn baltimore,
etc. Saw Theresa Bailey, Sun
day, over from Minneapolis.
Say, have you heard the new
discs-"I'm Just a Lucky So and
&c." and the Wonder of YOU" by
Duke Ellington, with AL Hibbler
as vocalist? Also Lionel Hamp-
toms "Buelah's Boogie," a jam
packed blues, spot-lighting the
MaestrO's knuckling of the key
board in upper Octaves, and Ella
Fitzgerald's riff-ridden "Benny's
Coming Home on Saturday."-It's
a killer.
Say, kids, come on out to the
Halle Lounge on Wednesday and
Friday mite, and help to make it
a success-It opens at 8:15.
Well, must be rushing along
now, so see you around. Bye now!

Culture Begins at 3
Pm. Is Halle
Nursery Slogan

The War emergency is over. The
day care center for children of
working parents at Halle Q.
Brown House under Government
Funds will be discontinued Thurs
day, Feb. %.
Beginning Monday, March 4, the
Community House will launch its
new educational program for the
Pre-School age child from 3 to 5
years inclusive. This new pro-
gram will emphasize primarily the
educational and cultural develop
ment of the small child. The pro-
gram is the first of it's kind under
the direct supervision of the Halle
Q. Brown House which is a Chest
sponsored agency.
The Social Planning Committee
of the St. Paul Community Chest
has approved the establishment of
this year-round nursery school.
Throughout the East community
centers have, under their supervi-
sion these modern Nursery School
programs where children spend
part of the day with parents and
another part of the day at a cul-
tural center learning the basic
fundamentals of day to day living.
Halle Q. Brown children will
have the advantage of newly dec
GRATED quarters designed especially
to meet the needs of the small
child, with nursery school chairs,
tables, cloak racks, toilet facilities
and cots for resting.
Medical service is available in
any emergency. Telephone service
has been installed to add to the
efficiency of the service to the
children.
Carefully selected literature and
toys suitable for children of this
age has been added to the equip
ment of Hallie's new nursery
school.
In order to insure efficiency in
training and as much individual at
tention as possible to the enrollers
in the school the number has been
limited to an enrolment of 80
children, boys and girls.
The teacher in charge will DE
Mrs. Lucille Hargrave who is
eminently prepared to do this new
and interesting piece of work in
the community. Mrs. Hargrave
comes to the program with three
years experience in the child care
center and previous experience in a
case working agency where she
had the opportunity to evaluate
the social economic relationships to
personal development She is a
graduate of the University of Min
nesota with a major in Child Wei
fare. She will be assisted by Miss
Evelyn Kelly for whom the children
have a keen affection and who like
wise was identified with the child
care center for four years.
A well planned cultural program
to meet the age level Of these
children has been planned and en-
dorsed by authorities in the field.
The service of the Nursery School
will be available to all persons re-
gardless of race or economic status.
The cost has been arranged so as TO
make the service available to all,
regardless Of income.
The hours from 100 to 400 p. m.
Monday through Friday at the
rate of SOC per week.
The child will have its meals at
home with the family and only a
light snack including cod liver oil,
fruit juice, milk and waters at
Halle.
