In the early days of the Miss America contest
lit began in 1921, all girl had to do was look
gorgeous She didn't have to open her mouth
Now it's beauty and-brains contest-for good
reason Miss America must make many public
appearances and appear TV and radio. And
in our Washington contest one Of the winners
prizes is a trip to Europe, where she'll be good
will ambassador from the United States"
The question and-answer session comes under
the Intellect and Personality category. It is judged
equally with the other contest caSSifications:
Beauty of Face, Beauty of Figure and Talent.
But" says Mr.. Reed, "often, in the finals, the
girls stack up about even in beauty and talent.
The real title-clincher may be the impression a
girl makes while answering questions"
The questions? Some are simple Where were
you born? Whered you go to school? What are
your measurements? How old are you?
Some may take thought. Such as, Who do
you think is the most outstanding American woman
and why?
Some questions may be surprising and tricky
For instance, Miss America judges once asked
contestants. do you have any foibles?" Fifty per
cent didn't know what "foible" is. One girl
chirped, You mean a fairy tale-a fable?"
Mr. Reed, while training Washington girls for
the contest asked the fobe question the following
year. One girl wnked and shot back, II don't
have any, but hear asking that question is one
of yours!"
Usually, it's a 9-or-1l-judge panel Each girl
faces THIS queStion-iring squad alone Charm
EN-" is Mr.. Reeds advice. Quick wits have won
more than one contest"
Take Helen FiSke Smith, the 1858 Miss Wash
ington. Oft-married actress Constance Bennett a
Judge in our finals, asked, Are there any men in
your life?' Helen smiled and answered softly,
Miss Bennett YOU know there are always men in
our lves!' Everybody laughed, and all the judges
Immediately warmed up to her"
The battle of wits offers girl chance to be
a Standout in beauty crowd. According to Mr.
Reed, Mango Lucey, the present Miss Washington
took full advantage of this. Before going to
Atlantic CITY, she found out all of the judges names
and studied their biographies. When Margo and

CHECK FIRE HAZARDS
BEFORE VACATION

Leaving on your vacation
soon? Naturally you'll lock up
the house against intruders
while you're gone. But don t
forget to take the following
precautions against fire, too,
before leaving:
/. Check all gas outlets on
heaters, cook-stoves, etc. to be
sure they are turned off before
leaving.
?. Close all inside doors as
well as outside doors and win
dows. Fire burns slowly -
sometime even goes out 49, in
closed up rooms.
3. Clear dry grass and
shrubs away from your house
TO prevent a small, stray spark
from becoming a destructive
blaze.

chureh'S Nome Is
Partially Changed
To End Dispute

Last Sunday night remaining
members OF the New Hope Bap-
list church, worshipping at SSS
n Chatsworth, ST. Paul, voted At
a church meeting to amend the
articles of Incorporation OF the
church so that the congregation
would henceforth be named the
First New Hope Baptist church"
The amended articles were filed
Monday with the Secretary Of
state.
Meanwhile another part OF the
congregation which worships each
Sunday at the $40 Union hall at
525 Rondo continues TO use the
original name New Hope Bap-
list church"
This church is pastorcd by
Rev. Knecly Williams, first pas
tor Of the church whom the group
remaining at the 1888 n Chats
worth address, claim was dis
charged as pastor several months
ago.
This faction called the Rev.
Mr.. Mckinley Calhoun OF Chicago
TO pastor the church and he has
spent a portion Of his time since
arriving trying TO reach a de-
cision whereby the dispute over
which group was entitled to use
the name New Hope Baptist
Church" could be settled.
There were threats Of court
suits before Rev. Calhoun came,
but these did not materialize.
Rev. Calhoun said this week In
interviews with this paper that
he hopes the matter IL now re-
solved since, he said, we have
plenty Of work 10 do, and we hope
we may now give our full atten-
ton and effort henccforth TO the
advancement Of First New Hope
Baptist church and the advance
ment Of the Kingdom OF Jesus
Christ and the leading Of lost
souls to our saviour"
Meantime New Hope Baptist
church, pastored by Rev. Kneely

St Paul DISPATCH motion
picture critic Bill Diehrs review
of Island in the sun" was almost
hystercal. Diehl writes, Its (the
pictures) Negroes are a faceless
mob with the exception Of a pol
itical leader and a seductive
beauty. And If were a Negro, /
surely would object to some of the
dialogue which exploits rather
than aids Indignation"
No intelligent Negro believes
this picture was produced to aid
Indignation, even If Mr.. Diehl or
even the Fellow Conservative"
think so.
However, If telling what has
happened again, and again, across
under, and over the color line in
the West Indies and yes, even in
the good old USA, is a sin or a
virtue, Island in the Sun" does
the Job.
Bailee suspects that what
Brother Diehl and others who pan
the Island" object is that at last
some producer has had the CUTS
to produce such a story based on
the conduct of human beings,
black and white, brown and red,
since the beginning of time.
Island in the sun" is a good
picture.
It does have, as Diehl points out
an overdose Of the usual in
gradients Of movies such as muir
der, clandestine love, illegiti-
macy and such, but who can say
that's not the life the producer
seeks to portray
Bailee recommends Island as
adult entertainment and found
much TO chuckle about in the plot
Thought cambridge was good, but
Belafonte wooden as an actor
tremendous when he sang in the
prologue and in the main part Of
the film.
