The first Dunbar PTA meeting
of the year attracted large group
of parents, patrons and teen-agers.
The affair was an outdoor COM
munity program. A great deal OF
discussion and action were CEN
tered on the proposed initiatives.
The group was familiarized with
the provisions of three initiative
measures by the president, Rev.
]. B. Daniels. It was decided that
the group would endorse, support
and work for support of 318 YES,
the prohibition of segregation in
the public schools; 102, YES, the
equalization of taxes for public ed
ucation and 3O7, NO, against local
option. It was pointed out that
local option meant prohibition and
the return of bootleggers and of
racketeers.
DR.. Walter I. Murray, principal,
explained to the group the i'm
portance of greater loyalty on the
part of all Americans and the
need for making democracy work
here as the only safeguard against
communism. He explained that in
the near future teachers will be
taking loyalty oaths. The parents

According to the guests this was
the dinner of the week. After this
sumptuous meal the guests were
taken on a sightseeing tour of
the Broadway Estates and they
were very much impressed with
the beautiful homes. When the
visitors left at 6 am. Monday
morning, the daughters hated to
see them go so badly they fol-
lowed them in cars as far as Mesa
Another Oklahoman, Mrs. Pinky
Sims, is visiting her daughter, Mrs

street.
The good fortune of the week
was that of bandleader Louis Jor-
dan. The other day as he and his
drummer, Chris Columbus were
walking down the streets of Greens
boro, N. c., where they were play
ing an engagement they stopped
in front of a pawn shop to look
at a few items on sale. His at
tention was drawn to Saxaphone
on sale for $50 and his curiosity
was aroused by a coon-shaped
mark on it. Upon going in the
shop and making closer inspec-
ton he recognized it as the one
stolen from. the bandstand when
he was playing the Savoy Ball
room in Harlem IS years ago.
Needless to say, Jordan redeemed
it at once and played it that night
instead of the $25OO horn that his
manager, Berle Adams gave him
last July when he celebrated his
birthday here in Phoenix.
I would like to leave you with
thought for the week:
Life is full of tears,
Life is full of smiles,
Life is full of mishapS,
That sometimes come in piles
Life may be happy,
Life may be gay.

bottom,
It's according with whom you
play.
