In Belmont Test This Afternoon

by his Derby pilot, tiny Conn
McCreary. Both of the colts must
carry 1875 pounds, under condi-
tions Of the race. Early odds
listed Bold at 4 to 5 and Count
Turf at 6 to 5.
Big Stretch, ranked as one of
the 'big three" in the winter

Ex-TB Patients To
Have Homecoming

Homecoming Day, when Flor
ida's ex-TH patients revisit their
"alma mater" is scheduled for
March 4, at the Central Florida
TB Hospital, at Orlando. Victor
OsNeill, president, Florida Fed
Grafton of Florisan Clubs, made
the announcement today. Florisan
Clubs and TB associations
throughout Florida are arranging
to send ex-patients from their
counties to the celebration. About
200 former patients usually at
tend.
Homecoming Day was initiated
by FloriSan Clubs over eight
years ago. The Florisan Clubs
are countrywide groups Of ex-
,TB patients. The clubs originat-
ed within the TB hospitals.
Members encourage patients in
the hospital and help each other
stay we'll after graduation"
With the help of the State TB
Board, which builds, maintains
and operates Florida TB hospit-
ais and the Florida TB and
Health Association, a bang-up
program is being planned, said
O'Neill. All ex-patients, Negro
and White, are urged to attend,
There will be music, an outdoor
picnic lunch and a program OF
prominent Florida speakers. A
beauty contest for all white, fe-
male ex-patients will climax the
event. Plans are also underway
for a beauty contest for Negro
women TB patients. This will be
held sometime in April, he said.
Homecoming Day has always
been a morale builder, declare
physicians who treat Florida's TB
patients. Actual contact with ex-
patients serves to re-emphasize
to patients and their families
that TB' is durable. Proper rest
and care hastens the day patients
can rejoin friends and relatives
and resume their role of useful
citizens in their community.

Wilkins Warns Jim
Crow Is Threat To
American Victory

DENVER, Jan. IL - America
cannot win a world struggle -
military or theological - with a
Jim Crow democracy or Jim
Crow armed forces" Roy Wilkins,
administrator of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, told a huge
audience here this week, at the
second of five major speaking

Speaking at an Emancipation
Day celebration at the New Hope
Baptist Church, Mr.. Wilkins re-
counted the great strides the
NAACP has made in its forty-two
years of fighting for first class
citizenship for Americans of
every race. THE idea of increas-
ed opportunity for Negroes is
spreading" he declared, "but the
foes of civil rights in this country
are doing grave damage to the
cause OF democracy In the present
emergency"
Mr.. wilkins aSsailed the Dixie
Gratis and other opponents of civ
il rights as the greatest threat to
America in the worldwide con-
flict against Communism. He
warned that the Southern bloc
in Congress, by blocking such
legislation as statehood for Ha-
waii and Alaska ION grounds of
racial prejudice" is turning away

People are downright envious
of me, and l know it. All show
people know that the man on
the street secretly covetS their
way of life. The average guy sees
show business as an easy busi-
ness with ideal working hours,
little labor and top pay.
Now, believe this. People have
a right to envy me and my con-
temporarieS their job al
though not for the reasons listed
above. True, we make darn good
money, but we also are forced to
live on high scale. Very ex-
penSive clothing is a must We
live great deal of our lives in
hotels, and that doesn't come
cheap. Travelling expenses are
high, and we support quite q
large number Of people (mana-
gers, press agents secretaries,
agents, etc.
But we do make good money,
even so.
AS for the hours, don't envy us
our lot. Our hours are terrible.
We go to work late, but we work
until early am. and sleep most
Of the day. We have few hours to
enjoy life.
And don't underestimate the
amount of labor involved. Show
work is hard work. It sapS you
of all your energy. Don't get me
wrong. / may not work as hard
as ditch digger, or any laborer,
but there is a great deal Of ply
steal labor in showbusiness, just
as there is strangely enough, in
dentistry, legal work, sales work,
and other seemingly easy Jobs.
But here is why you have a
right to envy showpeople their
jobs.
Showpeople love their work!
There is no more interesting
work in the world, to my knowl-
edge. l don't know of any other
job in the world where there is
so much variety, so much compe-
tition, so much of challenge, so
much comeraderie as in show
business.
In their idle hours showpeople
select showpeople as their friends.
They talk show talk over break
fast, lunch and dinner. When
they get together for a party
you'll usually find that they get
into a game of charades, or some
thing similar which makes use of
their showbusiness abilities.
Somehow 1 don't feel that &C
countants particularly select &C
countants as their friends. They
certainly don't get together for
parties and work out income taxes
for recreation, do they? Do sales
people try to sell each other at
parties. Do scrub ladies scrub
each others floors on their days
off?
