over on the Beach.

The Sepian Hour knows that there
are in Sepia Miami a great number
of talented performers, who have
been unable to get into show bust
ness. AS you all know Negro artists
have very recently appeared in
some of Miami's most exclusive
Mite Clubs, notably among these,
have been Bill Robinson, Ella Fitz-
gerald and the Ink Spots, who had
very successful engagements at the
Club Monte Carlo. Cab Galloway
also was a sensation at the Clover
Club.
We are looking forward to having
more and more of the large Clubs
hiring Negro talent. But all this is
not possible without your help. Each
and every one of you must become a
talent scout every day of the week.
The only reason more entertainers

have not had a chance to be heard.
So if you know anyone with any
talent, be sure to notify the Sepian
Hour.
We have just been informed by
the Sepian Hour that in keeping
with their policy of always trying
to present you with the best 'enter-
tainment, during the football season
while football games are to be

mediately follow the broadcasting Of
these games. This means you will

Sepian Hour Opens
It's Show To Talent
Scouts
Scouts

The Sepian Hours leads the field
again by giving talented Bronze MI
amians a chance to be heard by all
of Greater Miami. The Sepian- Hour
wants you to become talent scout
If you know of anyone with any
special talents, all you have to do
to help them get q break in show
business, is to drop a card to THE
Sepian Hour" care of Radio Station
WITT, Coral Gables, Florida. Tell
them who you have in mind, what
their special talents are, and give
them your address and phone num-
Der so they can get in touch with
you. If the producers of the Sepian
Hour choose your recommendation
both you and the person you rec
ommend will have the opportunity
of appearing on the Sepian Hour.
This. is your opportunity to help
someone get into Show Business. 1t
doesn't make any difference wheth-
er the performers are professional
or amateur. This talent search is
open to all Bronze citizens.
This is not the first time the
Sepian Hour has endeavored to pro-
mote the welfare of the Negro citi-
zens of Greater Miami. The whole
history of the Sepian Hour, in ex-
istence for almost two years, re-
fleets their desire to assist and bet
ter the welfare of the Negro citizen.
Their first attempt was through the
medium of the amateur shows pro-
duced by Tony Sobers.
Emory Evans, noted entertainer,
was master of ceremonies before
leaving for the North. 1t was
through the efforts Of these men in
cooperation with THE Sepian Hour"
that many Of our citizens were able
to obtain employment in the enter
tainment field. Notable in this group
is Skippy Williams and his trio,
currently starring at Charles Inn"

PLEDGE CONTRIBUTIONS

The chairman said the committee
had the backing of $50 other citizens
who have pledged contributions of
81 or more to finance the legal &C.
ton. Most of them have already
paid their pledges, he added.
AS the result of a Federal Court
suit filed here six years ago, Negro
teachers in Hillsborough County
now are paid on the same basis as
White teachers. In it's letter to the
School Board, the committee en-
phasized that the difference in Ne
gro and White schools in the coun-
ty is not due to a difference in
teacher qualifications"
ut is due rather to inadequate
buildings, substandard playground
areas, restricted curricula, poor
lunchroom facilities, meager science
equipment and skinny library re.
sources in the Negro schools"
ON DOUBLE SESSION
In the letter, the~committee chair
man pointed out that four of the
County's largest Negro elementary
schools Dunbar, Lomax, Harlem
and Meacham are operating on
double sessions and have been for
the last 10 years.
Although the committee contend
ed that no White schools in the
county school system is operating
on a double session, one White
school Sulphur Springs-doeS
have a double session.
The committees letter also point
ed out that:
1. OF all Negro schools in the coun-
ty only two are equipped with ade-

CITE PROBLEMS

The letter also contended that
double sessions tend to increase
Juvenile delinquency, cause a de-
crease in school attendance and
a decrease in the learning efficiency
of pupils.

SUIT SIMILAR

The suit would be similar to that
recently filed in Federal Court in
'Valdosta, Ca, by small group of
parents Of Irwin County.
The Georgia suit. invoked the 14th
Amendment to the U. S.. Constitu-
ton. 1t was patterned after that sue
cessfully fought through the FEEDER
al Court in Virginia.
In the Georgia petition the Fed
eral Court was asked to declare that
any discrimination is in violation of
the nations basic law. The Court
also was asked to grant a perma-
nent injunction against any distinc-
tions in the facilities of White and
Negro schools.
In the Georgia suit, the Negroes
charged the county has seven mod
ern schools for White children and
II dilapidated, makeshift schools for
Negroes. They charged the White
schools have auditoriums and other
facilities the Negro schools do not.
The King George, County. Va,
case was the forerunner of so more
by Negroes in various Virginia
counties demanding equal education
al facilities. AS result of the suits,
it was estimated the equalization
program cost $21 100000.

quate auditorium.
2. In no Negro school in the coun-
ty is there a gymnasium.
Referring to double sessions, the
letter said, I'm the first place it is
asking too much to ask our boys and
girls to acquire, in a halliday pro-
gram, as much knowledge and train
ing as White children are expected
to acquire in a full school day."

Citizens Committee
Asks Equal Facilities

A committee of Tampa Negro cit
liens has announced that it will
bring a court suit in an effort to get
equal but separate school facilities
for the Negro school children in
, Hillsborough.
Perry G. Harvey, chairman of the
Citizens Committee for the I'M
provement of Negro Schools, said
the group does not know yet when
or in which court the suit will be
filed.
The committee has employed
Alexander Alderman, Orlando attor-
ney and former Republican member
Of the House Of Representatives, to
represent it and will confer with
him Sunday or early next week.
LETTER SENT TO BOARD
The announcement came shortly
after County School Board members
read a letter from the committee
respectfully requesting" that the
board put an immediate end to the
differentials which now exist and es:
tablish Immediately equal schools as
provided in the Florida State Con-
stitution, as guaranteed by the 14th
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States and as directed
by the decision of the courts in the
recent case in Richmond"
Although School Board members
admitted that many charges in the
letter from the committee were true,
they agreed with Members Simmons
and Green, who said the Board is
making every effort to improve the
situation and will continue to do So"
FARNELL TO GIVE REVIEW
The Board asked County School
Superintendent Farnell to give mem.
bers of the committee a complete
picture of what the Board has done
for Negro schools in recent months
and a review of plans for the i'm
mediate future.
The committee met in the office
of c. Blythe Andrews, editor of the
Florida Sentinel, while the School
Board was in session.

His pigs, in turn, are exported to
England by the cooperative export
ing society. His eggs go to Eng
land in the same cooperative way.
Like ancient Gaul, Denmark is
said to be divided into three parts:
butter, bacon, and eggs.
Danish workingmen are organ
lied just as well as the farmers.
They join their unemployment
clubs, and enjoy good workman's
compensation in case of injury.
Strikes are usually settled without
any help from. the government, for
in Denmark the employers have
their unions too; in fact, they
were organized even before the
labor unions. Committees repre-
senting management and labor
are in daily conference adjusting
contracts ard wages. A labor
Court OF Judges appointed equally
by labor and management is ready
to pass on any dispute, if its SER
vices are needed. Last year the
printers We're on strike for four
months in Copenhagen, but the
strike was finally settled privately
and amicably without the govern
ment's having to step in.
Danish children are lucky. Chill
dren are the jewels of Denmark
and everything is done to educate
them, even if blind or crippled.
Working mothers do not need sit
ters," for they leave the babies in
nursery schools on their way to
the JOB.
Denmark is a good country to be
sick in. The majority of the peo-
pie belong TO sickness clubs which
give them, for nominal dues, all
the medical service they need. !

became working girl at the age
of eighteen. When she was i'll she
went to the doctor whom she
thought the best in town and never
had to pay him a cent for his
services; her dentist she paid only
half the minimum fee. After the
war she spent several weeks in
a hospital undergoing an operation
and had a good surgeon and a kind
nurse, but it cost her nothing.
If Denmark is a flat, farming
country, Norway is a mountain
Gus and maritime country that
makes its living largely from SHIP
ping, fishing, and the tourist trade.
Norway, like Denmark, was occu-
pied by the Germans for five
years. The Norwegians resisted
and were prosecuted. They went
underground and printed their own
newspapers. They sabotaged the
German chemical works. They did
not give up. The king and parli-
ment escaped to London and set
up Norway-in-E Exile. Thousands of
Norwegians sailed across to Eng
land and joined the Allied Forces.
Their bombardiers, it is said, killed
more Germans by flying over Ger
many than the Germans killed
Norwegians in Norway. Half of
Norway's shipping went down in
the war. Now all Norway is re-
building, and the hammers of in
dustry are resounding along the
coast and up in the mountains.

most patriotic of all oples.
