Each of us has a responsibility
in finding tuberculosis. It Is d.
sease that shows no symptoms IN
the beginning stages and yet even
In the beginning stages 1t can be
passed to other persons because 1t is
a communicable disease" That's
why all of us. whether we feel heal
thy or not, should drop BY the unit

She pointed out that everyone
who has an x-ray will receive a
confidential report of the findings
within three weeks.

Ex-Mews Vendor
Turns Artist;
IGeutesA5M
Gan AMP Release)

CHICAGO, Feb. 3D. Artistic
Marion Perkins, a former news
vendor on Chicago's South Side
who pursues sculpture as a hobby,
opened a one-man exhibit of his
works in the little gallery Of the
Esquire Theatre here. The show
is causing a mild sensation.
Perkins, who currently supports
his family as a truck loader for
a freight company, took up sculp-
turing after having watched 81
Gordon at work in his studio. At
that time he wanted to be a play
wright.
His first ventures in sculpturing
were works done in soap. He de-
cided to secure some formal train
ing, so he entered Gordon's WPA
art classes and finally graduated
to other mediums. In the mean
time, he wrote several one-act
plays, which we're produced by
little theatre groups on the South
Side.
Later he gave up writing to de-
vote more time to his carving. Be-
fore long, he became a f~ull-fledg-
ed sculptor and won a spot in the
Art Institutes annual American
show. Still later, a few sales put
him in the class of professionals.
He is currently working on a
series of figures symbolical of the
Hiroshima and the horrors of at
omic warfare. However, he says
he wants above all to express the
dreams and ideas Of the Negro.

Poll Tax

Especial to The Express)
ATLANTA, Feb. 3D. One south
ern state has dropped the poll tax,
and another has taken a substan-
ial step toward eliminating the
suffrage toll, it was confirmed
here today by the Southern Re-
gional Council.
The state of South Carolina Of
ficially discarded this tax as a
requirement for voting when the
general assembly ratified a con-
stitutional amendment to that eff
feet. The amendment was approx
ed by popular vote last year.
Under the old bill, men 21-60
had to prove payment Of 81 poll
tax before they could vote.
In Tennessee, the house. unani-
mously passed a. bill which in eff
feet kills the, poll tax. It would
require citizens to pay only the
poll tax assessed against them in
1871, the year the state constitu-
ton was ratified.
At that time, however, the state
had no poll tax Chat came in 49,
9O) and a person would have to
be 1O1 to have been of voting age
then.
Under the present law, poll tax
must be paid for the "year pre-
ceding an election" Veterans, wo-
men, blind persons and people
over SO years old r exempt from
the Tennessee poll tax.
Now that South Carolina no
longer has poll taxes, besides Ten
nessee, the only states with such
a levy are Alabama, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Texas and Virginia.

LONDON, Feb 3D. In a broad
cast over the African service of
the British Broadcasting Company,
Rudolph Dunbar, internationally
famous journalist and symphonic
orchestra conductor, said:
"The Negro is a born actor. He
is possessed with that character
istic volubility which gives him
the assurance of complete self
abandonment" .
His half-hour address on the
subject, "The Negro in Drama"
dwelt upon the rise Of the Negro
actor in the American theatre. He
told of how Negroes were barred
from theatres as performers, ex-
cept in musical comedies and were
not particularly taken to by audi
ences.
Negroes struggled with pass-
ionate fidelity, however, to start
their own theatres and acting
companies. During the years, 49,

THE OHIO BUREAU of Unem-

and direct question:
"Just what are you trying to
do to help me?"
Frankly, these questions indicate
that not enough employers and
workers are completely aware of
the variety and extent of the pub
lie services available to them.
Many people view Ohio's 80
employment centers as locations
where, at taxpayers expense, idle
workers are referred to available
jobs and everything falls into
place like a jig-saw puzzle.
Some others think of employ
ment service personnel as being
long on optimism, but short on
results. Few such objections have
some basis since obviously every
one be helped to achieve fully his
desired work.
MAIN OBJECTIVE of the
Bureau is to maintain a high level
of employment stability with the
maximum of convenience and the
minimum of expense. The Bureau
also make a special effort to bring
additional industrial activity to
those areas having a surplus of
workers.
Minimizing unemployment has
it's own special problems. There
are always problems of recruiting
qualified workers to fill specific
job requirements, especially those
calling for specialists. The same
activity is carried on for those
workers who are seldom employed
the so-called marginal workers
who are not specialists and are
are consequently difficult to place
in any labor market.
The Bureau performs a valuable
service of providing accurate la
Dor market information concern
ing manpower availability through
out the state. This information is
vital to those businessmen who
may locate additional factories in
the state as we'll as Ohio en-
ployers. Much of the information
is used in vocational guidance,
schools, and c%ounseling and test
ing programs.
C~ounseling and selective place
ment are additional services pro-
vided by the Bureau for physical
ly handicapped, older workers,
young and inexperienced workers
and those of all ages who simply
are not sure of what kind of work
they want to do. These services
help these persons to make suit
able job adjustments.

From a small, crowded office
high up in the Waldorf-Astoria
flows a steady stream of money
20 a variety Of foreign missions
from Greenland's icy mountains to
midas coral strand.
The office is that of Rene Black,
II, gourmet, probably the most
famous Maitre D'Hotel to grace
the American scene, and now
manager of all the various restau-
rants of the Waldorf-Astoria.
In his spare time Mr.. Black is
also Musician, painter, photo
grapher and one-man board of di-
rectors of a wide-variety of
foreign missions, ranging through
the franciscan fathers to the trap
pist monks and from the Mary
knoll sisters to father Pio's boys
town in Perugia, Italy.
Mr.. Black, a tall, handsome per-
fectionist with white hair and
moustache, collects funds for his
missions through penny fines he
levies against walters, waiter cap
tains and busboys for mistakes in
service or infractions Of the black
rules for perfect service at the
Waldorf.
ga good waiter should always
be able to tell the patron what
is on the menu without consulting
it. He should have read the menu
and memorized it before the meal
begins" said MI. Black recently,
discussing his system which,
through the years, has become af-
fectionately known as the black
hand.
$50 If I catch a waiter who has
not read the menu, I fine him a
penny" Mr.. Black continued. "OT
if, one has not set the table prop
erly, or if he spills the water,
or if he drops a roll, it costs him
a penny, too"
Walters have learned to keep
a little loose change in a handy
pocket, because one a waiter
digs down into a pocket and comes
up with a. handful of change, il
goes into the mission kitty.
II cannot allow them to return
change to a pocket" Mr.. Black
explained with a pleasant wink,
"it wouldn't be sanitary"
This accounts for the nickels,
dimes and occasional quarters that
find Their way into the glass jar
on the black desk. The pint jar,
the mission bank, fills up rapidly.
Old customers of the Waldorf,
who have known Mr.. Black for
many years, are likely to empty
their pockets of small change
whenever they lunch or dine at
the hotel, and the mission ex-
chequer takes another leap.
