Chef Sings His Way Out Of Kitchen
(CP) NeWSfeatureS)

CHICAGO-Patrick Curran, 31- year-old lyric tenor who doesn't read note of music, is laying aside culinary tools for singing career.
 Thirteen weeks after he ar rived from England, Pat landed a job as chef of the Sherman Hotels College Inn. Appearing on a local amateur radio program, he won first prize for singing "A Little Bit of Heaven" in an Irish manner.
 The singing contest opened the opportunity door when the gen. eral manager of the hotel invited Pat to make a guest performance in the Inn show.
 Audiences who heard Pat sinq applauded for encores and he was signed for a regular singing en- gagement.
 Billed as the Singing Chef" SNAA oA PASNAouS SNPCIAcIiCc III singing was when he gave inn prompiu concerts for troops aboard British ships during the war. He had served II years in the British Merchant Marine as a cook.
 His dream of studying voice in Italy by arrangement of priest of Wishaw, Scotland, where Pat was reared, was shattered by the war.
 Patrick was born in Antrim, Northern Ireland. When his mother died his father came to the United States in 1922. Now a nat uralized American citizen, Cur ran's father spent two years get ting the necessary papers for his sons family-wife and two chill dren-to enter the country.

Hold Gains

WASHINGTON Colored
workers have been able to hold
many Of the gains in industry
which they made during the
war, the Bureau of Labor Sta

Monthly Labor Review.
Advances made by colored
workers include increased em-
plogment in civilian jobs, a sig
nificant shift from farm to fac
tory, and considerable upgrad-

Between April 1910 and April
1914. employment OF colored
workers in civilian Jobs increas-

three-quarters Of a million were

Review article says.

received their first opportunity
to perform basic operations in
a semiskilled or skilled capacity.

race. She had to learn that she
belonged to the human race. In
so doing she developed an art
universal in its appeal. Her art
forces one to forget her bronze
skin. She appeals to you as a
human being with much to give
in fun, good will, and sympathy.
This feeling of the oneness OF
the human family the artist
must have, to be an artist be-
longing to the human family.
Her achievement could not have
been made in America as it is
today soiled with the caste sys-
tenn and often going out of its
way to remind its black son of
his color.
Given the green light in
France 10 Baker has attained an
unprecedented art. She is de-
ightful because so free of self
consciousness. To struggling art
lists of our race she is a witness
to the truth that France is a
door for them. If they make
good in France America will re-
ceive with open arms those she
once rejected ana despised.

fore all things whatsoever We would
that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them" (see also Luke
6:SL)
OILS the creation of the earth

that He had made, and. behold it
was very good. And the evening
and the morning were the sixth
day. Thus the heavens and the
earth were finished, and all the host
of them"
o.-Who Is the foundation Of the
church today?
A.-Ephesians 2:2o. sand are
built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
Himself being the chief corner
stone" Christ is the cornerstone Of
both apostles and prophets, one as
much as the other. He is. the sub

Testament. (See Luke 24:25-27,
44-46.)

dual monarchy of Medo-Persia
which ruled from the fall of Baby

Alexander the Great at the Battle

WHAT FRENCH ART DID FOR
10 BAKER

10 BAKER
10 Baker has come and gone.
She leaves those of us who first
saw her in Shuttle Along warm
in admiration of the progress
she has made with her art. In
Paris Sings Again she was no
longer the clown chorus girl, but
the delightful entertainer with
the artistry Of an Anna Held or
Irene Bordoni.
She would not be the artist
she is today without the back
ground of Trench life and
French art. They have worked
marvelS. Some casual observers
may glibly say her fine feathers
have changed her into a fine
bird. The crow can change his
livery but a crow he still is. The
change in 10 Baker is not so
much her wardrobe as her nnv-
sonality. Partisan clothes and
jewels serve merely as lamp
for the flaming light = the per-
sonality.
France is far from being the
perfect state. But as nations go
she is about as good as they
come in her capacity to develop
the artistic in the aspiring art
list. To begin with France sets a
value on the dignity of a man.
And French folks have an I'M
Outstanding of human heart sell
dom surpassed. 1t runs against
a true Frenchman's grain to
hate human beings and work
for their degradation. French
life and French culture are pre-
pared to receive with open arms
any one with ability who aspires
to be something in life. To hold
one back, and to hinder because
of color would be unnatural. IN
to this atmosphere the aspiring
10 Baker went and by hard work
and patience succeeded in be-
coming the darling of Paris
because she had a distinctive
contribution to make in the field
of entertainment.
One Of the first things 10 Ba-
ker had to forget was her past
Of being herded with the coIored

194O., Approximately 7 out of 10
employed in 1910 were in those
occupations, where in 1914 and
1947 the proportion was only
slightly more than S out of 10.
During World War II, sub
stantial numbers of colored
workers shifted over to higher
paying, more attractive jobs in
industry and to O. lesser extent
into white collar occupations.
These advances were consol-
dated during the immediate
postwar years, and in April 1s47
the broad occupational distribu-
ton of colored employees closely
resembled the wartime distribu-
TONS"
Another striking hang e
which occurred after 1910, the
study shows, is the drop in the
domestic employment. Before
World War II, over 70 percent of
colored women employed else
where than on farms we're en-
gagged as domestics. This proper
ton dropped sharply to less
than so percent in 1874 and re-
manned at this level in 1s47.
At the same time, there was
a stable increase in the pro-
portion of colored women en-
ployed as beauticians, cooks and
mattresses and in other service
establishments.

OF COURSE the Truman
Commission can only recon-
mend. We don't expect to see
any colored halfbacks starring
for Georgia Tech, Tulane. Glenn

Or even for Army, Navy, or
Notre Dame, or our own SOUTH
ern-scheduled BIC. But, as
Coach Bell Of sMU says, it is all
quite possible and is bound to
happen 1 say it WILL happen.
-
THE NEW Year in sports, in
Guiding the Olyinpics, will bring
up many additional tendencies
to draw the color line in atla-
letics. There will be all sorts Of
unfounded arguments such as
swayed BIC. years ago. But we
hope Coach Matty Bell and the
