The tremendous power of united
prayer is brought home forcibly
with the knowledge that very
early tomorrow morning - the
extra day in the year 1952-Fiji
Island Christian women begin the
World Day of Prayer with their
service theme "Christ Our Hope"
AS the day progresses the message
will be echoed in every tongue and
every cline until the final
"Amens" sound in cold Alaska or
the tropic warmth of the Tonga
Islands. This city's observance is
at 1880 in East Cleveland Baptist
Church 1876 Euclid ave-, with

When passing Shaw High School

Old Glory up on the pole each

down the American legion gift

from his two sisters, Mrs. Mary

was established in England in
1928.
Even as early as Monday night,
when The Leader staff photogra-
phel and reported visited the Fos-

mementoes were coming in. Today
a large cake is another gift to a
man who attributes his longlivity
to hard work, clean living and a
continuing effort to live close to
his God.

but what is more interesting is
that the Negro voter is almost

Wind'-dehnitely "a role
which is looked upon as
typical of a Negro woman.
This was in the late thirties.
Certainly this was not on
ly astounding. but il was
somewhat ironic for a Negro
to be lauded for portrayal
Of a role which Is consider
ed as homemade to mem
berS of his or her race.
W lille one could be lead to
believe that such recogni-
ton OF superb acting would
see her or other members of
her race being granted more
dlgnitied or normal roles,
such has fully yet to come.
Lena Horne, Dorothy Dan
bridge and Billy Eckstine, to
name a few, have been Civ
en- higher-type roles, but
mainly these were only as
dressed-up entertainers. 9th
ers such as James Edwards,
Freda Washington, Louise
Beavers, Sidney Potter. and
William Marshall were Civ.
en- bigger roles in strictly
race theme" films. But
there still remains for one
race actor or actress to be
signed for serious roles in a
certain number of motion
pictures as a headliner.
Miss Mcdaniel also was
the only member of her race
TO have daily radio show
over a long period of time
"Buelah.' She played the
role of a maid. but was Civ
EN- top billing.
Since television now is a
major attraction, race enter
tainers have been appearing
regularly as guest stars and
in featured spots. Two that
come to mind at present are
the Billy Williams quartet
and the Amos and Andy
teevee show-an all-Negro
vehicle. Three weeks ago
Billy Daniels. the gesticulat-
ing singer, was signed to star
on his own TV show which
has chofce spot on Sunday.
This is progress, but is it
gradual or fast?
AS to the change of think
ing among Negroes, a good
case is the announcement of
the NAACP along with 9TH
er supporters of the then
forthcoming Amos and Andy
telecast. IL was denounced as
caricaturing the Negro.
A nationwide protest by
the Association soon lost
steam. Reason: Negroes have

TO show that the Negro has
made great progress since

Our contention has been
that there is no measuring
stick as to whether the prog

we, as a race, had to pro-
gress since our status as
