(AP) For the fifth time in a
decade Mrs. Donald O'Brien of
Richmond is in the semifinals
of the State women's amateur
golf championship, but she still
hasn't matched the achieve
ment Of her daughter.
1T seems that I'm always

Mrs. O'Brien's chances of

Miss King isn't taking the
match lightly.
II should be a good one,"
the 20-year-old Wake Forest

Mrs. O'Brien proved the point

Cup lead at the turn and then
a hot putter applied the crush

to win the 18th hole in par
and a 10-footer to win the l4th
with a birdie.
Miss King breezed through
the quarter finals, crushing

Mrs. Barron exhibited what
Matthew Arnold called higher

honesty as she portrayed the in
tensely vital place women play
in world affairs.
The description of the "Orbit

Negroes - giving them the news and COM
ment and opinions which interpret the news
in the light of the hopes and aspirations and
problems closest the minds and hearts of the
new American Negro.
So much of this news and comment is
exclusive, appearing nowhere else, that the
local Negro newspaper fills vital need which
no general medium, and no other type of
Negro medium, can satisfy.
That's why the new Negro city-dweller
gladly pays for his own newspaper. He's
like the American tourist in London who,
though surrounded by British papers, hunts
up the European edition of an American
Newspaper to get his news.
Now it's easy for any business to reach
this Uncommon Market anywhere in the
state by advertising in the one Newspaper
that is read by Negroes throughout the
state.
After 21 years of publication we are con-

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 9.-Mrs.
Verda Welcome of Baltimore,
the Maryland Senate's only
Negro member, arose and
thanked her colleagues yester-
day as they passed an anti
discrimination bill.
The measure, the admin
istration's public accommoda-
tions bill, was the first of it's
kind ever to pass the 29-mem-
ber rural dominated upper
house.
From the time I introduced
this bill four years ago." Mrs.
Welcome said, II never lost
faith on behalf of colored
citizens"
Thanks to Governor
She thanked Gov. Tawes and
his floor leaders in the Senate
for working for passage, "even
though this bill isn't what we
would have liked to see passed.
A little progress is better than
no progress at all" she added.
The bill. loaded with amend
ments which still may delay
final action, now returns to the
House of Delegates for concur
renee in provisions added in
the Senate. House leaders in
dicated the amendments may
require the appointment of a
conference committee to make
the entire bill acceptable to
their members.
AS the bill stands, it re-.
quires equal service for Negroes
in hotels and restaurants in
IL of the States % counties
and the City of Baltimore.
One Senate amendment gives
the citizens Of Carroll County
the right to approve or reject
the measure by referendum.
Another reinstated Anne Arun-

that county had been excluded
by earlier House action.

part Of it's policy, gave the Whit
neys more than a year Of lang
uage and cultural study in
France before sending them to
their college post in this form
er French colony.
The Whitneys have found that
Africans are very curious about
the racial situation in America,
but know little of the story.
They have heard that some At
ricans were sold by other At
ricans as slaves, and transported
across the sea.
Some have heard that there
was thing called the Civil War
and also ga terrible thing call
ed Little Rock" In explaining
the struggle of the American
Negro for self-realization, the
Whitneys have found that they
have had to explain the whole
history of race relations in A
merica.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kermit Over
ton, Negroes who work out of
the Foulassi mission station
near the town of Sangmelima,
have found much the same thing.
Mr.. Overton, a graduate of Rut-
gers University and Lincoln
University Seminary, has built
a town chapel into a thriving
church. He has been especially
effective in reaching the offic-
ials and bright young men in
town.
With these people, Mr.. and
Mrs. Overton often discuss the
right of men to personal free
dom and dignity. Their race
has helped them, they said, to
discuss these questions in way
that Africans find very sympa-
thetic. The Africans seem to
regard Mr.. Overton as an A
merican partner and something
of a model in his leadership
and family life. The Overtons
have two little girls. He comes
from Texas, and she from Phila-
delphia.
Another Negro missionary,
Miss Jeanne S. Davis, teaches
home economics at a girls high
school near Flat. Several peo-
pie called her "the beauty in
the group" and her students
tend to regard her as a model
of young womanhood. Miss Da-
Wis was born in Bristol, Pa, and
graduated from Drexel Institute
of Technology in Philadelphia.
The sponsor of these mission
aries, the Commission on Ecu
menical Mission and Relations
of the United Presbyterian Ch.
in the U. S. A., would like to
recruit more qualified Negroes
for the mission field. Moreover
the Negro missionaries are
clearly doing a good job for
American-African understand
ing. Their explanations of A
merican racial problems have
cut behind the headlines and
given Africans a more sound
and positive view of the Ameri-
can Negroes struggles.
Negro missionaries are sub
ject to the same qualifications,
and are given the same train
ing, as white missionaries. Their
housing is the same. Typically,
this consists of a comfortable
house or apartment with sew
