Pickens Speaks AT
AIpha Forum Series

William Pickens at the Alpha
Forum Series Sunday afternoon
at the Wayman AME church at
Fifth and Bank St. emphasized
the security from purchasing
United States Savings Bonds, the
safest investment in the world.
Altho speaking on the subject,
How to Improve Human Rela-
ton in the Community, he took
time out to put across his special
message as a representative of
the Treasury Department.
One of the organizers of the
famous Niagara Movement, which
predated the NAACP, the famed
Negro leader praised W. E. B.
Dubois and his work with the
association. He also praised Mon
roe Trotter and others connected
with the development of the or
ganization which does much to-
ward improving relations be-
tween humans in the community.
The Forum was not as well
attended as it should have been,
which is a sad reflection on our
hoped that the next n will be
held to an overflow audience.
for the bringing of these speakers
to Dayton is of invaluable serv.
ice to doing the very thing the
series attempts to do, namely
improve human relations in the
community.

Qualification For
Count Lyons And
His. Trio

The stories in all the Dayton
papers last Saturday, including
the DAILY EXPRESS, concerning
three persons held as suspects in
an alleged dope ring here have
caused no little embarrassment to
several persons who were indirect
ly involved. The EXPRESS, in
it's desire to remove the discomfi-

cent of any involvement hopes
that such will be done by this
Qualification.
Count Lyons and his trio, and
the Owls Club where the trio is
appearing are the innocent vic
TINS of the whole affair.
Three persons, Mrs. Donald
Reeder, Dolores Harvey and FL

day, charged with attempting to
smuggle dope into the Miami

'AME Churches Drop
Suit Against Bishop
j. H. GlaVhorn

St. Paul's churches against Bish-
op J. H. Clayborn of Little Rock
were dismissed before Chancellor
Elvin Ziegler here last week upon
the request of the co.nplalnants.
The churches had asked that the
bishop be enjoined from remov-
ing their pastors, the Rev. T. W.
Gaines and E. P. Williams.
The membership of both
churches had protested the ap-
pointment of the new pastors, the
e -3ontwF the
Revs. T. G. West and A. F.
Davis. Earlier, the chancellor
had advised members to pray for
three days and try to reach an
agreement. Attorney for the
churches, R. H. Craig, said the
advice was apparently successful.

The following editorial ap-
peared in the New York Herald
Tribune on April 3, 1949:
THE RIGHT TO VOTE

The Supreme Court is far
ahead Of the Senate in dealing
with the Negroes problem. Where
the Senate managed, perhaps to
it's own satisfaction, to get lost
in the filibustering fog, the ju-
dicial branch demonstrates a gift
for directness. We refer to the
quick and undiscursive opinion on
Monday upholding the lower court
in outlawing the Boswell amend
ment to the Alabama state con-
stitution. This is the little trick
aimed to keep the Negro from
voting by requiring hat an appli-
cant must understand and ex-
plain" the United States Consti-
tuition to the reasonable satisfac-
ton" of registration boards. The
point here was to see through to
the intent of the law, and not con-
veniently look the other way. AL

OF The Week

though there was nothing said of
color, the purpose and effect of
the Alabama diversion were plain
as daylight, and on the Negroes
undeniable right to vote along
with any other citizen the Supreme
Court has repeatedly ruled in re-
cent years with a highly practical
grasp on reality.
After the many years of sub
terfuge, although one device after
another has collapsed and the
Democratic white primary is no
from feeling that the Negro has
now won the final struggle for
the ballot. Georgia, where Tai
madge still rules is sieving it's
voting lists through a statutory
quiz on government. The OBJ
ject is white supremacy. This
project doubtless will also in
time arrive before the Supreme
Court, for the net effect of dis
franchisement is Alabama all over
again.
The Alabama decision, howev-
er, is a healthy reminder that
correctives against discrimination
rise not only in political program
and legislation. Negroes made
the protest, alphabetically
joined by a great c~ross-section of
Alabama, and won in the courts
throughout on merit. This was a
victory to be appreciated, and we
may be sure that the vote of a
Negro, just the same as that of
any other American, will ulti-
mately make itself felt. From
this free right to vote we can ex-
pect important progress by a ris-
ing race.

By JIMMIE JONES

Gavilan is the leading contend
for the title in all rankings and
the one real drawing card for a
New York show.
Robinson's position is none too
secure with the Boxing Commits
sion because of his reluctance
or inability to make weight for a
defense-and he may find himself
knocked right off the throne.
He hasn't laid his crown on the
line since last June and has been
ordered to sign for a defense by
April %.
1t may be that Robinson anti
cipates loss of his crown through
commission action, but dismisses
the eventuality from his plans
with a view to moving up into a
middleweight challenge against
Marcel Cerdan.
This, however, would only lead
to complications, too, as to wheth-
er the bout should be arranged
for June or September. The Goth
Century still holds that contract
on Robinson's services.
The Tournament of Champions,
thus may have Robinson, but may
find it difficult to use him.

introducing Scandinavian Organizations In Seattle
Culture And Traditions Of Old Countries Maintained
Svea Male Choir

The Svea Male Choir of Seat
tie was organized in 1905, by the
joining of two small singin
groups that had started short
time before, both composed of
young SWedes who had come to
this part of the country from
Sweden and felt a longing in their
hearts to hear the songs they had
heard and loved i'm the land of
their birth. So a permanent organ
iZatiOn WIS made, which was later
incorporated under the laws of the
state, as the SVEA MALE CHOIR.
The stated purpose of the or
ganization was the perpetuation
and encouragement of Swedish
male chorus shining, as well as to
encourage all Scandinavian Gull
ture. Regular consents were given
and have been given yearly during
this entire period of Al years. Be-
side these formal concerts. the
chorus takes part in many civic
public functions, charitable affairs
and religious and educational festi-
walls. The Choir is a member of
the Pacific Cosat Division of the
American Union of Swedish Sing
ers, and conventions are held
periodicly in the principal cities
Of the Coast, with the main pur-
pose of bringing to these commun-
tiles the best in Swedish Male
Voice Singing on a larger scale,
with all choruses joining in large
massed chorus, in at least one
grand concert. The first conven-
ton was held in Salt Lake City
in 194S, and the next one will be
held in Portland in 1850.
While songs in the Swedish Ian
guage are mainly used. every con-
cert program has a sprinkling of
English members; songs of other
Scandinavian languages are also
often used. While a majority of
the members were born in Sweden.
many others are of the second
generation, born in this country,
but who have a natural love for
the language and songs of their
fathers, through association in the
home.
Present officers of the Choir are:

Norwegian Ladies'
Chorus

The Norwegian Ladies Chorus
was founded by its director. Pro-
lessor August Werner on June 6,
1885. The aim of the Chorus was
to study and present to the public,
first of al, Norwegian folk music
and compositions for ladies' voices,
by Norwegian Composers, ais
works worthy of being presented
on the concert platform from any
other country. AS far as possible,
these compositions will be sung in
their original language.
The Chorus made its first an
pearance at the reception concert
during the Pacific Coast Sanger
fest at the Olympic Hotel on Sep
TENDER 4. 1886.
The first officers of the chorus
were President, Mrs. Gertrude
Werner; Vice-Pres. Mrs. Bertha
Sylliaasen Will; and M shall
Dagmar Uri Fjelde and Historian,
Mrs. Ginken Gjolme. There were
fifteen charter members and the
chorus met once a week at the
Music Building on the University
of Washington Campus.
The highlight of the Choral
activities among the Norwegian
colony was the joint concert by the
Norwegian Male Chorus and the
Norwegian Ladies Chorus when
"Draumkvadet' was presented on
November 80, 1887 at the Ballard
First Lutheran Church This i'm
mense number, Norwegian Relig-
ious folk song from the 18th CEN
fury gives the dream of one of
the first Norwegian poets.
On February 26, 1912, the Nor
wegian Ladies Chorus reorganized
with Mrs. Gertrude Werner as
director. Many of the former men,
bers were members of this new
chorus.
The Valkyrian Daughters of
Norway Lodge helped the chorus
with finances for three months,
which amount was presented back
to that lodge at later date.
The first officers of the new
chorus were: President, Rachel
Bue; Vice President, Mrs. Ruth
Elerick; Secretary. Mrs. Ruth Toll
lefsen; and Financial Secretary,
Mrs. Asia Eide.
On No vembe r %, 1913, the
chorus took over the Showboat
Theatre and had very successful
party. The proceeds of this event
were turned over to the treasurer.
This chorus has appeared at
many concerts, celebrations, etc
One of the most outstanding
events of the Ladies Chorus hap
pened on April 19ta and Goth, 1913,
when the Ladies Chorus was host
ess to the Student Chorus from
Norway, receiving them upon their
arrival and giving a reception
after their concert at the Moore
Theatre. At the concert the visit
ing chorus was presented with a
laurel wreath from our chorus A
gift of money was presented to
each member of the chorus.
