What the Northern Rhodesian
Mineworkers Assoc iation has
achieved in negotiation with the
Anglo-American companies is that
there shall be consultation along
the line and that no individual
white miner shall suffer financially
from the process Of >African ad-
vancement. Beyond this are no
lasting guarantees.
The Rhodesian Section Trust, the
other group Of copper-mining COM
panies in the country are still
insisting on freedom to negotiate
with African miners without con-
sultation with white ones. But es-
pecially the attitude of both groups
are the same.

Nadyne Brewer
Scores In WingdaIe
Lodi &c Concert

WINGDALE LODGE, N. Y,
Aug. 15-(SpecialD - The packed
crowd at Wingdale Lodge, New
York's most popular interracial re-
sort, could we'll understand, after
Nadyne Brewer had taken her last
bow to tumultuous applause, what
had inspired New York music
critics to such rave reviews when
the brilliant and beautiful Negro
sopran made her Carnegie Hall
dubut in 1854.
For such critical estimates last
year as "lovely vocal quality"
(NEW YORK AGE), "voice of
beauty" MUSICAL COURIER)
and "more than usually promising"
(NEW YORK TIMES) had just
been brought to life for the Wing
dale audience.
Hers was also the voice which
such an esteemed musical authority
as Paul Robson had once said
moved him ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS if
ever a concert crowd was truly
moved by one young woman's vocal
gifts and stage charm, it was the
weekend audience which sat so rapt
through Miss Brewers perform
ance.
interviewed backstage after her
guest appearance, the utterly capti-
waiting Miss Brewer dubbed over.
at was absolutely thrilling to APP
pear here at Wingdale Lodge. The
very fact is singing at an inter-
racial resort like this was such
wonderful experience. l tell you, /
felt like soaring"
The Brewer voice has been soar
ing for some time now. "As an in
FAINT, I sang before I spoke" she
said smilingly. From kindergarten
on up, right through my school ca
reer, if ever there was any singing
to be done, ] was the one who
would be called on to do it."
Born in Van Buren,, Arkansas,
but a native Of Kansas from in
fancy up to the time she pulled up
stakes for New York, events have
apparently affirmed that Nadyne
Brewer was born to sing" She
sang in grammar school, and she
sang in high school. She sang in
choir and it was the Church
Scholarship Committee which sent
her to the University of Kansas
to continue singing. 1t was while
at the university that she won a
personal grant from philanthap-
ist who, like just about everyone
else who has the good fortune to
hear the Brewer voice, was tre-
mendously impressed.
Nadyne used the grant to head
for New York and intensive voice
coaching. 1t wasn't long before
she was putting in occasional APP
pearances in the big city-at social,
civic and church affairs-and it
wasn't long before some mighty
intelligent music masters heard
Nadyne and encouraged her to
stick with it.
One such voice of encouragement
was Paul Robson. 1T was Mr..
Robson who made it possible for
me to appear at the AME Zion
Convention in New York. This was
after he had heard me sing at some

law throughout his native
commonwealth.
Joining forces with another
engraver, Gideon Fairman, in
1903 or 1909. Perkins pub
lished a series Of school copy
books for penmanship believed
to have been the first steel
engraved books printed in the
United States. The two men
labored until 1918 to develop
their method to its highest
perfection and strove to per-
suade the Federal Treasury
Department to accept their
techniques for currency use.
When they failed in this SELL
ing endeavor, they went to
Great Britain to compete for
a bank-note contract with the
Bank of England-in vain.
But country banks and the
Bank of Ireland accepted their
process, and the firm Of Per-
kins, Fairman & Heath was
established in 1919 and en-
trusted with the manufactur-
ing of British postage stamps
beginning with the Penny
Black in 1840.
Perkins meanwhile was busy
with many other experiments
and inventions. About 1927
he perfected a boiler and
single-cylinder engine using
steam at 800 pounds pressure
and devised a special alloy for
the engine pistons which re-
quired no lubricant.
Subsequently he built a COM
pound steam engine using
steam at 400 pounds pressure
and expanding 1t eight times.
Other examples of his genius
were: An improved paddle
wheel, a system Of free circu-
lation Of water in boilers, a
steamship boiler and engine
using distilled water, q plen-
ometer for measuring the speed
Of vessels, a ships pump, a
method Of heating and venti-
lating houses and ships. q
