A SodIer's Wells Jount
Poses Some Problems
By Ernest Aqnew

cubic feet of gear, the 20 tons Of
scenery, every earring, every neck
lace, had to be listed in triplicate
for the scrutiny of the customs men
in Britain, America and Canada.
Now everything is set for the
second American tour. 1t prob
ably will be the last for long
time. Next year Sadler's Wells
will do tour of Britain as part
Of the Festival of Britain celebra-
tons. Other nations are in line
for tours in the following years.
Spain, Turkey and Egypt are COM
peting for the company. Australia
is upset because the ballet is not
coming there this year.
Sadler's Wells opens in New
York on September 10-and their
problems really begin when they
start touring. This year they will
visit 80 cities in the United
States and Canada. For nearly
five months the company, the
staff and an American orchestra
of 40 will live in a special train of
restaurant, lounge and sleeping
coaches.
From Philadelphia to Cincin-
natl, from San Francisco to Okla
homa City, new problems will
crop up for the stage staff:
For Yudkin-the problem of
fitting the immense sets built for
the 72-foot stage of Covent Gar
den on stages like the 26-foot one
in Oklahoma City.
Dressed Free.
For Wardrobe Master Harry
Chatting-the problem of keep
ing 500 costumes spruce and
clean on a five-month train trip
with no time to wait for laundries.
They'll have to wash their
own" he says. Even Margot
Fonteyn has done that before
now"
This year for the tour the
women and male members of the
company are being dressed free
by London's West End firms. And
all will be Britain's best export
goods.

Bremerton Church
Celebrates 35th
Anniversary

S5th ANNIVERSARY OF
EBENEZER AME.
The history of the Ebenezer A.
M. E. Church.
"In the beginning God created
the Heaven and the earth"
And the earth was without form
and void: and darkness vas upon
the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face
Of the waters"
"And God said let there be light
and there was light"
I quote this in order that you
may receive and understand the
history of the church. These words
were again spoken in Bremerton,
Washington in June 1912, when
three men gathered in the shoe re-
pair shop. They rel a Mr.. George
Farmer, a Mr.. Jerry Anderson, both
residents of Bremerton and Rev. T.
d. Kenthon, a Methodist preacher
from Tacoma, Washington.
These men inspired to
spread light where darkness
dwelt. They conceived the idea OF
organizing a Church and of build
ing a house of worship. History
records that these three men and
Mr.. e. P. Davis were responsible
for the building of the first Negro
Church in Bremerton.
This church was built and erected
at 7th and McKinsey Avenue. The
building was personally erected
by the Rev. Kentchen who had q
knowledge of carpentry. With the
able assistance of Mr.. George Far
mer, this work was begun in 1915
and finished in 1914.
Rev. Kentchen was called to 9TH
er fields and was succeeded by a
Rev. M. c. Knight, who sold that
church property due to the adverse
attitude of neighbors toward a
Negro church in that vicinity. They
then bought the present location
at 9th and Park Avenue. They tore
down the building that was the
first church in Bremerton and
moved the lumber and erected the
Church that stands today. This
work was started in 1914 and WAS
finished in 1915. During the time
the building of the second church
was being done the congregation
met in a building located on Wash
ington Street.
The second church building was
completed in 1915 and in June on
the first Sunday, the Rev. M. C.
knight and congregation held their
first services.
There are no records of further
building until the year Of 1920
when under the leadership of Rev.
BeHwer, a sman building was moved
to the rear of the church to be
used ms a parsonage. In 1922 Rev
Donohue added two rooms 10 the
parsonage.
Congratulations are extended
to Ebenezer A. M. z. by THE fol.
lowing merchants.

REPORT OF NAACP,
GU


The regular meeting of the MA
ACP was held Friday night, May
10, in the social room of the YIN.
CA. The attendance has greatly
improved, but. remember we really
need your support.
A very interesting report was pre-
sented by Mrs. Frank Giggans
who was one of our delegates to
the seventh annual meeting of the
Washington State Conference of
NAACP Branches which was held
in Tacoma. Also attending this
meeting was Mr. Robert Singleton,
a delegate; Mr.. and Mrs.
James T. Walker, Mr.. A. Modisett
and Mr.. Frank Giggans. Mrs.
Walker gave a very interesting
talk on the youth council which
was discussed at the meeting.
Our guest speaker for the night
was Mr.. Elwood T. Greer, 522
Bruenn Street, who is a very well
known man in Bremerton.
The theme of his very well pre-
pared speech was, adult Educa-
ton" We think that the speech
was very good and will let you
hear certain parts of it. zone
means of helping our group to get
ahead is by adult education. OF
course such organizations as the
NAACP may be considered a form
of adult education in leadership
and parliamentary law, especially
for its officers. knowledge is
knowledge regardless of where you
get it. The YMCA and YMCA For
ums, the NAACP and the Adult
and Parent Educational meetings
| sponsored here in Bremerton are
very good, and I might say they are
poorly attended by our group. Now!
| What will this Adult Education
do for the everage John @. Public?
In the words of DR.. H. A. Over
street, it will help n to grow-up,
it will help one to develop a ma
tured body as well as a matured
mind. 1t will open a wider horizon
and improve ones thinking, man
ners and customs. In conclusion, l
might say, adult education is not
the answer to all our problems,
yet, it is definitely one step in the
right direction in having a good
time" in "praising the Lord" and
in getting ahead and advancing
the Race"
The membership committee has
reported that the membership is
coming along steadily. But, yet and
still, we r very far from u goal
You should realize that the NAA-
CP has many very worth while
plans which we can not carry on
without your help. The meetings
will prove to be very beneficial in
every way.
Another blue ribbon member was
received. She was Mrs. frankie
Boswell, who will now receive the
"Crisis" magazine and the Congress
sional Bulletin. Other members
who joined that night were Mrs.
Marie S. Greer, Mrs. Blanche Cop
ley, Miss Delsie Williams, and Mr..
Elwood T. Greer.
