nobody shall heed their thoughts how worldly wise
or take notice of their comments are they not indeed house

And yet the entertainer need simply entertain Because
his name rings familiar bell In the pubcs ear he is per-
suaded to spew his thoughts how weak they may
be- and he respected for his wisdom whether be wise or not
Taking advantage Of the fact that my name rings that bell

The Negro knows as long as onethrd America is al

Another mistake that the Negro leader has allowed the

Concert Membership drive was
launched Tuesday evening with a
dinner meeting at Buffers, when
the executive board and workers
met with Jack Howells, campaign
manager.
It is the aim of the committee
to contact every person in Marys-
vile, the county and nei9hboring
villages, to extend a personal in
vitation to membership in the
Community Concert Series. The
drive will close at 4 p. m. Monday.
At that time, the committee will
meet to make the selections for
next years concerts. The greatest
advantage in having the drive
early in the year is wider selec-
ton of choice artists. AS a matter
of civic pride, every citizen should
be glad to accept a membership
and avail himself of the oppor-
tunity of hearing the finest of
future famous artists today
If any one is not contacted, a
call to headquarters at the Oak
land Hotel will take care of you.
