Negroes
And TV

BY Rob Roy Ratliff for AMP
It is quite interesting to see
that the TV medium, unlike radio,
show business and movies, is shy
ing away from the peril Of using
Negroes in sterotyped roles. Equal
ly interesting is the fact that Ne
gro performers are actively fight
ing to be accepted on merit, es-
pecially in the formative days of
the video business. Their thinking
is that once accepted on equal
basis and terms with whites in
musical, dramatic and comedy
acts, the way is clear for any
future Negro performer to enter
on merit and in an unrestricted
range of activity. Ebony recently
did a feature on the new trend.
AS an example of TVS insati-
able and seemingly indispensable
appetite for top-flight entertain
ers of any color, during recent
months as many as 10 all-Negro
TV shows have been beamed over
the air, one of which originated
in the South. Next fall two top
flight shows will feature Negro

Bob Howard, featured pianist

have been on TV with their owl

Choice of Songs
Lorenzo Fuller, whose remark
able baritone voice won him re-
cognition on the Arthur Godfrey
"Talent Scout" program about
six weeks ago, may get a chance
at big time. However, some friends
regretted his emphasis in singing
songs with a stereotype, such as
"Shortnin' Bread" and "Shadrack,
Meshak, In Bednigo" : even to
acting them out. 1t might catch
momentary audience applause, but
cuold not further his career in the
long run. He is a competent sing
er trained in the University of
Kansas School of Fine Arts.
Fuller is a graduate of the

gued against MI. Taft's motion at
this time, assuring him that time
would be permitted to take up the

had been criticized in the press
for not acting to have the FEPC
bill considered sooner than he
did, and Mr.. Taft had stated that
he was ready to go into the .ques-
ton of considering the measuse.
"Now, before we get started on
it, after only a few addresses have
been made on the measure, we are
confronted with the motion by the
senator from Ohio"
Mr.. Lucas stated that the sen.
ate should continue to- consider
the motion to take up the FEPC
bill, until Monday or Tuesday OF
next week before taking up the
reorganization resolution.
The Ohio. senator argued that 9

Rec. L. E. MOCHA n d e r
Hyattstown was named after the
family of Sarah Hyatt. Mr.. An
derson gave the land upon which
the first church was built.
This church, built in 1845, was
known as the ''log meeting house,.
Before it was erected services were
held in the homes Of different mem
bers. The meeting house was sold
in 1873 to a man who moved it TO
Evansville. The land upon which
it stood is still owned by the con-
gregation and used as a cemetery.
In 1870 Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob B.
Thomas of Baltimore gave the con-
gregation the land in the center
of Hyattstown for a new house of
orship. The present two-story
frame church, costing $4,000 was
built during that year. On August
20, 1871, it was dedicated with Levi
C. Zeigler, elder; Thomas Price,
P. C. Dudrow, C. HARRISON and
Luthern Norwood, deacons.
In 1922 the present parsonage
was built adjoining the church.
The first minister was the Rev. Rob
ert H. Ferguson who came in 1910.
He served the congregations of
Gunpowder, Hyattstown and Rock
vile. Successors included Neal
McCollum, John P. Mitchell and
William Shell.
The start of the Sunday School
is uncertain, though it is known
that Ben Hawkins and Charles
Price were two of it's earliest SUI
perintendents. 1t now has 80 stu
dents, six teachers and Robert Price
as its superintendent.
Eight members have been active
in the church for many years. They
are Mrs. Minerva HORNE, Mrs.
Georgia Darby, sister of Mrs. Hor-
inc, George Norman, William Bur-
