Mrs. JOS seph j.

and director of the Milford New
Century Club attended the fall
meeting OF clubs in Whining
ton and had a preview, as it
were, of the work in clubs for
the coming months. Group
meetings of state chairmen and
sub-chairmen took up a part of
the time and the address of the
day was given by Earl P. Ham
son of the University of Della
ware, instructor of geography.
1t seems quite significant of the
times that the study of the map
of the world, its contours and
it's divisions should be coming
to the fore again as a study of
importance. Mr.. Hanson's new
book New Worlds Emerging"
would have much to say about
the land and sea. This year
clubs will be considering COM

Cards from Mr.. and Mrs.
Paris Kirby tell of the wonder
full sightseeing tour they are
having in the west. One card
was from Sacramento, Califor-
MIA, where they were guests
at the Senator Hotel, directly

five days. The pleasure of such

Being Eva|uated

WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
decision of the Standing Com
mittee Of Correspondents to re-
evaluate theeligibility of all pre-
sent members of the COMPRESSION
al Press galleries was made for
the sole purpose of getting rid of
all "deadwood" before congress
reconvenes next month, accord
ing to an official spokesman.
In an effort to do this, the COM
mittee requested all persons now
listed as members to file new ap-
plications last month, particularly
noting restrictions for member
ship under the newly adopted
rule.
In case OF any question concern
ing validity of new applications,
the standing committee reserved
the right to check directly with
managing editors and publishers in
quest of information on their
Washington representatives.
1t was the question of chang
ing rules governing admission to
the congressional press galleries
which set off such heated debate
between Washington newsmen last

Area Theater to
Hold Plays at
Art Institute

The Yellow Springs Area Theater
opented last night at the Dayton
Art Institute with, the production
of the famous Shakespearean play,
"The Tanning Of the Shrew." The
play will run thru this Sunday.
The Area Theater is presenting
it's productions att he Art Institute
because the Opera House in Vel
low Springs closed for the reason
that neighbors complained of the
noise and that the building need
ed expensive repairs.
The productions of the Area
Theater are very ambitious when
one considers lifetime and effort
put into them. Almost everyone
connected with the theater is, to
use the parlance Of the street, on
the ball. They are progressive. Mac
Green Of Wherefore was direct
or one summer. Walter Anderson
of Antioch has much to do with
the music inthe productions. W.
hope our readers will support the
Yellow Springs Area Theater.

NEW YORK (ANP)-Serving
as general chairman of the elab-
crate Democratic National Com
mite dinner, held at the exclus-
i've Waldorf-Astoria, last week the
Hon. Thomas A. Morgan hit the
nail on the head when he said this
was truly a Democratic affair -
meaning Democratic" spelled with
both a capital I'D" and with a
small "d".
It was democratic in the sense
that people from all races, relig-
ions and geographic locations met,
mingled, wined and dined togeth-
er in a spirit Of friendship and
unity which should forever char
acterize the fraternalism Of all
citizens of this great nation.
Not only was 1t a peaceful and
jolly occasion, but one equally as
beautiful. The grand ballroom
took on additional splendor when
it was filled to it's $500 capacity
with gorgeously-gowned ladies and
dressed-up gentlemen whom, when
seated at their respective tables,
gave the place a resemblance Of
fairyland. !.
The rainbow hue Of the gaudy
gowns was very colorful against
the sober interior decoration of
this spacious room with it's buff
colored ceiling centered with a

Word has just come to us that
Maron Fort, brother Of Morland
Fort of Dayton and Dunbar High
School, was elected to the city
council in Gloucester (pronounc-
ed Gloster), Massachusetts. He
received the End highest number
Of votes cast in the election. Mr..
Fort, who is connected with a rum
distillers, visited with his young
er brother in Dayton this past
summer.
You will, it is hoped, pardon
this writer it he appears nostalgia.
He is an easterner to the core,
having spent all Of his life (save
his 8 years in Dayton) in New
England and New York. In fact,
the Forts we're playing with his
older brother the day he was born.
The two families lived "back to
back" in that the backwards were
adjoining.
That is of no interest, however.
What we wanted to tell you about
was the fact that the Negro popul-
alton in Gloucester is practically
nothing. That Of Dayton is almost
10000. Yet Gloucester has a city
councilman while Dayton couldn't
even get one to run.
Gloucester, to impart a bit Of
New England fact and folklore,
is the famed fishing center. There

golden fancy-work. This lofty
ceiling is supported on great
square columns of egg-shell white
edged in golden carvings and rest
ing placidly upon gray marble
pillows. The spaces between these
great columns are decorated with
rich rust-colored velvet draperies
overhanging the two tiers of box
seats surrounded by golden banis-
tiers that swing out in semicircles
between each post.
For this occasion, tables were
placed in each of these boxes for
the special guests including the
Vice President and his beautiful
bride. The special decoration for
the affair included real live swing
ing green vines draped around the
the two tiers of boxes making a
perfect contrast against the gold
en- background.
Centerpieces Of red, white and
blue carnations resting upon
spreads Of green ferns, decorated
each of the tables. When the
main ballroom was filled, tables
were set up in all Of the adjoin-
ing rooms, until the guest list
numbered 5000 according to an
official spokesman.
Main speaker for the evening
was Vice-President Barley, who

Negroes Appear On Stage of OARS

committee split in a vote of 8 to
2 onthe discretion over who shall
be admitted to the press galleries.
The argument over rule chang
ing was instigated as the result
of two new applications for men,
bership, n was the representa-
tive of the Labor Press associa-
ton which services weekly labor
newspapers, and the other repre-
sentatives of the State Depart
ments's information service. The
proponents of the change argued
that the present admission rule
was only a patchwork affair that
had to be by-passed anyway in
special cases.
This rispute recalled a similar
one Wnlch mad existed In the press
galleries two years ago when the
Senate Rules committee found it
necessary to hold hearings and ap-
prove of a change in rules so as
to admit representatives of the
Negro press. AS a result of this
change two Negro newspaper cor
respondents were admitted to
these galleries and one tothe per-
iodical gallery.

ever, despite it's highly-heralded
Jim policies in the hall, the
OAR group did allow Negroes in
the audience.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, then
Americas First Lady, resigned
from the organization because of

Across The
Table

1t is heartening to know that
the Government is no longer to
guarantee loans on buildings
where discrimination is practiced.
This is another nail in the coffin
Of second-class citizenship. 1t was
Lincoln who said, this country
cannot long endure half slave and
half free" 1t was this speech,
made by the immortal Emanci-
pator that so lifted him in the eyes
Of the American people that he
was later elected to the Presiden-
cy Of the United States. 1t was
his action, his decision and his
Gettysburg speech that made him
an immortal and so painted his
name upon the scroll of fame
that it cannot be removed for
ever.
The eradication Of second-c1ass
citizenship in this country will be
its salvation, and until it is eradi-
Gated, the country will be sitting
on key Of dynamite. Peace on
earth appears now to hinge upon
the decisions Of the United States
Of America, the create country
that has ever existed, but this re-
public cannot long endure with
its feet upon the heads Of its mi
norities.
Segregation, discrimination, peo-
mage, lynching and haughtiness,
can; never make a. country great,
nor keep it great after it becomes
great. There is a world wide
awakening, and this. awakening is
due solely to the multiplicity Of
international wars, for wherever
they go, they wake up the people
and start them to thinking. The
great mass Of people is thinking
now as never has been the case
before. Darkest Africa is no long
er dark, and in other portions of
the world scum from their eyes,
and what is true in other parts
Of the world is true in our own
United States.
Negroes are no longer satisfied
with the crumbs that fall from
the table. They want at least a.
half loaf and at least a half Of
whatever is eaten by the over
lords. Absolute peace and equali-
ty in the United States Of Ameri-
ca will insure absolute peace and
equality throughout the world.
Mark my words.
