got caught in the middle or II. Inc
Delta Beta Omega Chapter of the
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in a
gesture of appreciation to the cast
of deep Are the Roots" gave a
party in the home of Miss Dorothy
Williams. Members of the sorority,
their husbands and friends, the cast

Then there was the Mardi Gras
dance which the Kappas staged in
the Elks Ballroom on Sunday night.
The music was smooth (the kind
that makes the jitterbugs frantic
with joy-some who aren't Utter
bugs caught the spirit and got fran
tic too) There were tables for
two, three, four and more; among
those assembled slipping "pauses
that refresh" were William Null
Inns and his charming Lady, the
the Morrison WarrenS, the John
Stewards and Mrs. c. Ragland, Wis
iting them from San Diego, Lloyd
Dickey, Naomi Edwards, the Rob-
ert Jordans, Mrs. Ralph Davis, and
and the Pete Sullivans.
PauSing in the lounge we spied
the graciously sophisticated Effie
Wisener and friend Amanda Lyons
who gave us some interesting tips
about the Evening Star Club. Dash
ing out for home and a hubby who
was ailing, we stopped to chat with
the Fred Williams and Lorraine
Crump who had as table guests,
Mrs. Smith (sorry we didn't get
the initiaD and Mrs. Stanley Moran
from Beautiful Carmen Blythe
Sea, who will stay in the valley for
two weeks as house guest of Mrs.
Cross on East Broadway. We've
gathered only miniature group
of all the people there; there were
lots more and all of them join us
in saying to Tom Crump, Hadley
Murrell, Joe Flipper and all the
Kappas, thanks for a lovely eve
ming.

prominence was a guest of the
Doyle Carr's. He was, as you sure
ly must know, Chester L. Wash
ington, associate editor of the Pa
cific Coast edition of the Pittsburgh
Courier (former personal secretary
to Joe Louis) who came over to
survey the prosperous territory
that our city and valley have be-
come. (He was really impressed,
fciKs, and we are certain to ben
eft if we keep plugging for op-
portunitieS we need and want-our
newspapers are organs serving us
for that purpose).
Perusing the winter guest list
we have discovered that the sun
is our greatest power here in the
valley. Why it has again attracted
the internationally esteemed Mrs.
Percy L. Julian and her adorable
Faith and Percy Jr., Detroit's in
dustrial power wanes as a force
holding the William M. Simmons
(he's retired detective, formerly
with the Detroit Police Department
maybe our department could use
your help 1t. Simmons-they, like
Boston, are having bit of trouble
with bank robbers0 We can't
overlook the illustrous gentlemen
of Masonry, DR.. Willard Allen
John G. Lewis, Jr., and L. w. Roy,
who came as guests of the West
gate Consistory, No. 1, and who
were feted in a gala public recep-
ton at the Elks Home. This occa-

orders displayed a magnificent

Week, was challenging stimulus
