Gruyson's Firing Of
Three Employees Is
Being Investigated

The Minneapolis branch of NAA-
CP is investigating the alleged
firing of three Negro employees
by a Minneapolis store. The store
involved is Grayson's Shop, Inc,
a women's apparel shop, 729 Mic
ollet Av.
1t is alleged that a new man.
ager of the store, Harry Phillips
who came to the store recently
from Louisiana, dismissed a Mr.
B. Moon and Dorothy Caldwell a
young school girl on a work pro-
gram of 800 Knox Av. N, Min
neapoHs and a third employee who
also was young girl on school
work program.
Mr.. Phillips is reported to have
said of the girls who was operat-
ing the elevator in the store in the
presence of Mr.. Moon, Now l am
going to put myself a white girl
on that elevator"
The Minneapolis branch of the
NAACP officials feel that if
Mr.. Phillips made such a state
ment, his whole attitude in the
matter is one of a questionable
and discriminatory nature.

The

BY BAILE THOMAS

That rumbling you heard Mon
day night and Tuesday morning
was the indignation of Ebony
Fashion models who, invited to a
'private reception and dinner, "
after their superb performance,
found themselves in a private din
ing room of a downtown bar which
was not private, at all, but open
to assorted characters some of
whom proceeded to (by their ac-
tions) make the affair a disagree
able experience, for some of the
pretty young women.
The committee in charge of ar
ranging the midnight affair for
the high caibre models, who are
the most sheltered group of women
travelling was originally told they
claim, the room could be secured
for exclusive use of the models
and the group which was enter
tanning them.
Tuesday morning some Of the
models told a reporter before
boarding buses for their next per-
Torrance that the Monday night
incident was the worse experience
they had ever had.
In St. Paul two years ago, the
cast was delightfully."- entertained
at a private dinner by the show
sponsors at Road Buddy's Cafe and
were not exposed to a general
public part, of which were highly
iquored-up stays!

Although the Gophers came out

and violin selections by guest Ho-
linist, Mr.. Clarence Brantz, who
was accompanied by his wife.
Before announcing the person to
be honored, Mrs. Riess gave a
background history of the honoree
beginning with her marriage to
the late Robert (Bob) Moulden
June II, 1902, in Sioux City, Ia.
Immediately following their mar
rage, the couple came to Mime

by their useful lives they endeared
themselves to everyone.
Mrs. Moulden was active in Soc
ial, religious and fraternal activ-
tiles. She was one of the organic
ers and charter members of Electa
Chapter No OE.S. and served
as the chapters first treasurer and
is a past worthy matron.
Early in her life, she was active
in church in her home town and
was a member of the choir in
Sioux City. With this religious
background, it was natural for her
to become active in church in her
new home and she has been a
member of st. Peters for Sc years.
Mrs. Moulden was at one time
engaged in a record shop and
cosmetic preparations business in
partnership with the late Mrs. b.
S. Smith, and later she and her
husband opened Dreamland Cafe
on Fourth Av. s. near 38th St,
which they operated for some 10
years.
Presenting those who had shared
her friendship, Mrs. Jessie Shepard
spoke of her as a true friend to
mankind, living a life of rich
friendships; a friend to turn to in
sorrow, or in soliciting funds for
a wedding gift or some other
worthwhile contribution. Her COM
munity interests have been many
down the years and she has freely
contributed and has been active in
many different groups for COM
munity betterment, Mrs. Shepard
stated.
On June IT, 1852, Mr.. and Mrs

Moulden celebrated their 50th wed,
ding anniversary which was shared
by many friends both white anc
Negro, who showered the couple
with many gifts and a sizeable
cash contribution.
Family members present adding
their sentiments were Mrs. Bern,
Ldette Anderson of Minneapolis, q
niece; Mr.. Earlyn Bell, great
nephew, his wife, Muriel and chill,
dren Muriel and Peter and great
nephew, Norman Bell and wife
Leona, all of st. Paul.
Mrs. Moulden was overcome with
emotion and could not keep back
tears as she thanked Mrs. Riess
and members for this honor. She
was presented with a white bible
as a memento of the occasion by
the Usher Board.
Mrs. Lucille McAdams, president
of the usher board, gave a few re-
marks and then introduced the
pastor, Rev. Lowell johnson. who
also gave brief remarks and he in
turn introduced the visiting Usher
Board members from Zion Baptist
church and members of Usher
Board No. 2 of the church who
were responsible for the presenta,
ton.
Mrs. Myrtle Thomas and Mrs
Tmma L. Riess were co-chairmer
of the event.
