farm DELL
OPEN TONIGHT

The Farm Dell will open to-
night in an alluring atmosphere
as one can imagine, located at
1000 Ruth avenue, itself a beau
tiful location, overlooking the city.
Reservations can be secured by
calling MElrose 0121 or MElrose
9O93.
In addition to food and liquor
customers will be served some rare
bits of music by Laurence Null
berry who will be playing the
newly acquired, sonorous-noted
solovox. Marion Carter will be
ready as manager to make his pa
irons as satisfied and comfortable
as possible.
Detachable chicken-in-the-rough,
chicken served in baskets, will be
one of the food features. And
there will be barbequed ribs, pala-
tably barbequed on an open pit
located just outside the Dell. All
brands of liquors and beers will
be ushered to the tables as or
dered.
We have had a preview of the
club and it isw hat we were told
it was and more. Thes oft, many
colored indirect lighting throws
off an enhancing mixture of
azure and saffron. The intimacy
is just what is required for after
the theater, before the theater or
even instead of the theater. The
intimacy is striking, it is not gaudy
and cheap by any stretch of the
imagination.

NORMAN A
JUMPS COLOR Line

CHICAGO, Feb. 13. (ANP)-
How Norman Granz can turn down
Jim crow engagements for his Jazz
at the Philharmonic concerts
amounting to $4,000 per tour
and still make his concerts main
tain a weekly payroll Of four fig
ures is revealed in a March Ne
gro Digest feature entitled Jazz
Jumps the Color Line"
Because Of the stringent anti
discrimination clause in his con-
tracts, Granz has not played far
Their south than Norfolk, the Ne
gro Digest article asserts. And for
the same reason he has turned
down bookings as far north as
Detroit, and Flint, Mich. This no
prejudice clause reads:
cit is the essence of this agree
ment that there is to be no dis
elimination whatever in the sale
of tickets. Further, there is to be
no segregation of Negroes and
whites. In the event of any viola
ton, l have the privilege of re-
fusing to give my concert, in
which case you will forfeit one
half of the concert price to me-"
One of Granz's Tenents, the
magazine says, is hat musicians
shall be paid salaries commensur-
ate with their talents. Listing
name" players Of all races in his
band, this practice runs his pay
roll we'll into four figures weekly.
The planp avs because the public
feels as Granz does that the heart
beat of better human relations and
the downbeat of jazz music are in
~separable.

Fellowship CLUB
TALK ON
DUNBAR.LlNCOLN|

The Fellowship club of the
First Baptist church were enter
tanned last evening by reminis-
encse of the poet Paul Laurence
Dunbar, as we'll as by a talk on
Abe Lincoln.
Dunbar was eulogized by Miss
Lucia May Winant former super
visor of speech in the Dayton
schools. Dunbar, who was a class
mate Of Orville Wright, spent
many hours getting encourage
ment and constructive advice
from Miss Want.
At one time, Miss Want recalls
when Mr.. Dunbar was undergoing
one of those Oppressive moods,
through which all great artists
pass, when he was insure as to
whether his poetry would endure,
she assured him that The poem
When Malindy Sings" would
alone suffice to elevate him TO the
stature of a first-class poet. And
sure enough it did, though he
wrote much more that almost
equalled it.
Miss Want read when Ma
Indy Sings" as we'll as Dawn
and the one she holds dear as her
~favorite "a Poet and His Song"
She praised Dunbar as a reader of
his w poetry as we'll as a writer
of it. And she commented on the
unbounded admiration for one an
other of Dunbar and Orville
Wright.
Miss Want, who is in her 8Os,
injected much of the spirit Of the
past, the spirit that shall never
die SO long as there are men to
read and to love the poetry of
the heart.
Mr.. MacFarlane, principal of
Dunbar high school, spoke on Lin
coin giving a brief of his life
and works.

men. Glasses on any phase of re-
failing may be formed b ythe To-
cal public schools. Such classes
are being encouraged by the U.
S. Office of Education under the
George-Barden act, passed by
congress in 1916. In many states,
groups for problem study may be
set up for as few as 10 retailers,
and the salary of the conference
leader paid in part from federal
funds, and part from state and
local funds.
Retailers should contact the To-
cal superintendent of schools and
solicit his assistance in starting a
class. If classes are organized, the
superintendent of schools or his
representative will direct the pro-
gram, provided a classroom, and
furnish an instructor.

Business Facts
By S. Edward Gilbert

ny % GOWi
In this, the atomic age, all men
seek to become more efficient in
whatever be their endeavor. The
bootbalcka seeks to learn not only
how best to give a sheen to the
shoe, but to gain knowledge as to
the texture of the leather which
goes to make up the shoe. The
filling station man is no longer
just concerned with the selling of
'anti-freeze, but seeks to know its
composition in order that he may
intelligently advise his customers;
even the newsboy is not content
with just selling papers at any
corner, but to the contrary he
studies all corners and makes a Sc
lection on the basis of the amount
of traffic. BY so doing he finds
himself engaged in a more profit
table business.
What is true of the above men
Of business is also true Of the am
bilious merchant and store en-
ploye who seek to increase their
ability. Often, however, they do
not know where they a find
useful information which will help
them. Many do not know that
training and information are avail
able. Because this is true, we dedi-
cate the remainder of this column
to advising as to sources for pro-
fit building information.

Retail Selling both may be Sc

2. The Bureau of Small Bust
ness, U. S. Department of Com
merce, has prepared AZ manuals
on establishing and operating bust
nesses all of which can be secured
at nominal prices by writing the
bureau.
8. General magazines usually
offer a broad view of current
events, serve to keep the readers
abreast of modern changes. Re-
tailers might benefit from reading
several good general magazines to
help them keep in close touch
with the viewpoints Of their Gus
toners.
a. An effective method Of i'm
proving managerial ability is to
solicit useful suggestions from
employees. If this is done in a
tactful way, store workers can
offer many suggestions that will
help the manager in solving store
problems. To stimulate interest,
a reward can be given for each
suggestion adopted.
Z. Last but very important in
this era of stiff competition is the
back to school movement on the
part of all progressive business

ent and mercenary aspirations Of
many American youths"
Nineteen African students are
enrolled at Lincoln, a school for
men, who are aided by their par
ents, the British colonial govern
ment and some by volunteer stu
dent societies similar to the
American Council on African Ed
ucation which now pays for eight
students.
The college expects five Afri-
can youths to arrive here this
week from Nigeria, West Africa.
There are also 10 students en-
rolled from British Guiana, the

of finding good teachers of sex
education is a stickler. No matter
how much they study or memor-
ize, teachers who themselves
suffer from warped sexual atti-
tudes can hardly engender whole
some attitudes in students.
Denver's DR.. Bradford Murphey
comments, I'VE have to be care
full about frustrated teachers who
might use sex education as a way
of working through their own
problems. We also have to avoid
teachers who give the subject
morbid flavor, and ones who are
too conditioned by their own lack
of early education to overcome
hesitation"
In one school in the East a
science teacher set out to teach
sex education and found, to his
astonishment, that he couldn't do
it. He said, ''When l get up
before the class to discuss hu-
man reproduction l can't get
the words out. have to abandon
the effort and go back to discuss
ing blood circulation or some other
neutral subject"
The quest for a good teacher of
sex education is actually a quest
for a well-rounded, well-adjusted,
well-developed personality. And
Evening star., 1948-10-24

this is especially true for the new
and broader kind of sex education.
As DR.. Murphey puts it, THE
particular skill we are seeking
comes as a by-product of a good
relationship to the world, to ones
self, and to ones fellow man."
Il Takes 4 Lifetime
Illus, in a small Pennsylvania
town, a school principal chose
history teacher who knew hardly
any biology at all. "She can learn
the necessary biology in two
weeks" he said. But it has taken
her a lifetime to become the person
she is"
Whether a teacher comes from
the science, mathematics, art or
social-studies department doesn't
matter. If he's a Welladjnsled
human being. he can be sent. at
small expense. to an eight or 10
week summer course for practical
training. Several universities have
such courses (the University of
California, at Berkeley, opened
an excellent one last year,. and
many health and social agencies
are sponsoring their own teacher
workshops.

ter begins they must arrive early
to get a seat. At his first lecture.
DR.. Hoffer warns them, We're
going to be absolutely frank in
this course. You'd better decide
now whether you want to 60 or
stay"
They all stay.
At the University of Denver,
Ifound Prof. Eugene Link con-
ducting a course in 'Marriage
and the Family" Here the STU
dents set their own curriculum.
They toss up for discussion such
questions as, What are the ma
ture and kinds of lover" Does
thwarting of the sex drive have
any effect on the personality"
How should one regard pre-
marital or extra-marital sex expe-
rience?"
Even more vitality, they have
wanted to know, How can the
wife express her individuality if
the husband is the dominant
one'?" Does living together
mean that each member of the
family has equal rights?" How

can husband and wife overcome
the tendency to fight and squab-
ble?"
Both from the standpoint of
correct information and clarifying
their own thinking, these students
are better prepared for successful
marriage" Professor Link remarks.
Girls at Stephens College, in
Columbia, Mo-, flock to DR.. Henry
Bowman's course on Marriage
and the Family" They hear him
wisely say, Its more important
for girls to know about conjugal
relations than about conjugating
verbs"
Success Formula
STEPHENs has been a pioneer in
marriage, child care and family
courses. Today it proudly points
to the record: Its graduates have
a success ratio in marriage more
than six times as high as the
general population; less than one
