To try out his full evening
entertainment idea, Borge
went to Seattle last winter

ater for q week, but the man.
agement wouldn't go on the
usual percentage arrangement,
they charged rent. You can't
blame them, they didn't want
to gamble.
Afterwards we figured the
theater lost $4,000 that week
by not going in on percentage.
"Then some people came up
from San Francisco and in.
vited me there for two weeks.
I said sure. wanted to rent
the theater, but they said no.
it would have to be the regu-
lar percentage arrangement"
The One-Man Borge swung
on across the country after
that, to the kind Of critical
raves and capacity houses that
show folks dream on.
New York q Challenge
The out-of-town applause
wasn't enough. Borge felt he
had to dare New York-and
not Just New York, but Broad
way itself.
"That was the big gamble"
he says. 81 knew I could make
people laugh. But would I be
accepted in a regular legiti-
mate theater. or would people
come and say this is enter
tanning, but Borge doesn't
belong on Broadway"
While the experts stayed
strictly on the Sidelines, Borge
moved in. and Immediately
COMPOUNDED the wiseacres. New
'York's regular drama critics
came and typed of ecstatic
notices.
More important than the
professional okays to Borge
was audience reaction.
People after all aren't just
standing around dying to pay
$40 for a seat. I know that
about 80 per cent Of the audi
ence at a. performance are
there because somebody they
know saw the show and per-
suaded them to CO."

mood of an audience and to

says the man who likes to take
his time. 1.-THE other night I
didn't finish until 11:30-and
the audience wouldn't have
minded the time if I'd stayed
on another half hour"

Remember


It's never easy to look back and
remember. Present circumstances
interfer. Surrounding you with
complicated experiences, life dims
the past and separates you from
luminous hours which once stimu-
lated and stabilized. And because
you give up remembering, you
lose the ability to remember.
Yet, you ought to keep on trying
to look back and to remember
those who trained you in religion,
who taught you the Bible, and to
your friends in the faith who en-
couraged you. You ought to look
back to the home in which you
were reared, where you were
Graded in love and nurtured in
faith, and remember how those who
knew you the best and loved you
the most spoke the word of God to
you. You ought also to look up to
God and remember His words and
promises Try it. It's not easy, but
you can do it. Look back and look
up and remember, the word that
can change your life.

October and will continue into De-
cember. The starting date for the
census has been set for the close

while number of questions COM

AttorI1eyGiive
Views -Court'S
Decision On
Segregation

Montgomery, Ala.-Thur-
good Marshall, the NAACP
Staff Counsel, in a COPY
righted interview with the
Montgomery Advertiser, a
leading Alabama Daily
newspaper, last week gave
his views on the outcome of I
the school segregation case
now awaiting decisions by
the United States Supreme
Court.
The Advertiser quoted
Mr.. Marshall as saying that
Negroes are expecting more
a separate but equal" ru-
ling from the Court, and of
saying that the NAACP will
IolloW a line OF complete
cooperation, not upheaval,
in regard to the Courts de-
cision.
Marshall was also quoted
as saying that Negroes will
abide with the decision
peacefully, and that if the
Court outlaws segregation
in the schools he will advise
Southern Branch presidents
to seek their rights under
the decision in an orderly
manner. He told the Adver-
tiser that he would suggest
that Negro leaders proceed
on a local level, on a school
by school basis.
Commenting on segrega-
ton sentiment over the
South, Mr.. Marshall said he
believed West Virginia will
be the easiest to fall in line
with the decision of the
Court. Also that the other
border states of Kentucky
and Tennessee don't present
much of a problem. That
Florida will be only moder-
ately difficult, with Alaba-
ma, Mississippi, South Car
DINA, and Georgia the die
hards.
The NAACP Staff Coun-
sci was further quoted as
saying he believes that it
will take four or five years
to achieve full integration
OF the races in public
school. But he added, "Of
course you know that there
are some sections of the
Black Court, some of them
right here in Alabama
where the Supreme Court
decision that we are legally
right would have no effect
for thirty years"
Not only did the Advert
ser seek the interview with
Marshall, it published a s
column number one story ON
the front page of it's Janu-
airy 20 issue titled "NAACP
Blueprints Battle Plan for
End to School Segregation"
The story carried a COPY
