Is the Jew a Friend To the Negro? I am happy to contribute my personal views on the subject of your symposium, namely, "Is the Jew a Friend to the Negro?" My opinion for many years has been that a most cordial and friendly relation has existed between these two groups of our American citizens. Between these two groups of a once oppressed people, there of right should be a sympathetic friendliness. This, I believe, there is, for no better proof of this friendly relation could be found than the fact that our Negro group patronizes our Jewish merchants with seventy-five per cent of their purchases of merchandise and food stuffs. This, in itself, is convincing proof that our Negro group regard the Jew as friendly. This daily intercourse must of itself develop and create a friendliness. Jews are not vindictive. Rather are they a sympathetic, charitable, Christian people—law-abiding, energetic, progressive citizens. My observations have been that these two groups of our citizens disseminate a splendid feeling of good will one toward the other. Great institutions of learning and training of the Negro youth, who, for many reasons, have been less fortunate than their fellows, have been established by Jews through their charity, sympathy and good will toward the Negro group. This, to my mind, is an established proof of friendship. My hope is that this friendliness, good will and co-operation may ever abound, not only between these two groups, but between all groups of our citizens. Then, indeed, will civilization advance, and all mankind rejoice in the rein of universal peace and happiness.

INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER INTERFERES WITH AXE WHEN SON IS FIST FIGHT LOSER Because, witnesses say, his eight year old son was losing in a fight with nine year old Garland Harris of 2323 Adams street, Stanley Barbich, 38, of 2321 Washington street, seized the axe with which he had been trimming the tree in front of his home and knocked the colored youth unconscious with the handle. The attack occurred Monday evening at the Washington street address. The Negro youth and the white boy were playing together and got into a fight as Barbich was trimming the tree. He stopped and watched the battle, approving the fight as long as his son was winning, interfering only when Garland was getting the better of the battle. His Story But according to the story Barbich told police, he slugged the youth because the boy refused to heed his orders to get out from under the tree he was trimming with the axe. This tale is denied by witnesses. When police arrived on the scene, they found Barbich surrounded by a crowd of people who prevented him from making his escape. Both he and his son were taken to police headquarters. The boy was set free and the father is out on $2,000 bonds pending trial for assault. Garland was rushed to St. John hospital where it is said that he will recover. H. A. GREEN OF GLEN PARK STEPS IN RACE FOR CITY COUNCILMAN A Business Man, He Promises Sound Representation Announcement is made today that H. A. Green, well known Glen Park business man and Gary civic leader, will be a candidate for council at large in the republican primary election, May 7, and is desirous of the support of all who know him and others interested in efficient administration of city affairs in a business-like manner by a business man. Mr. Green, who is head of H. A. Green and company, painting and decorating contractors of 3712 Broadway, is well known in all sections of Gary, having been in business uptown since the world war, until he opened his Glen Park office and store about a year and a half ago. The candidate is one of the pioneers of Gary, coming to this city in 1913 to accept a position with the Illinois Steel company. He remained with this plant until the advent of the World War, being a private in Company F., he entered the armed forces of America. Mr. Green had proved his abilities as a soldier in the border warfare with Mexico a few months previously and keen observers of Company F at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss., soon singled him out for instruction work. Commissioned Officer At this point Mr. Green joined a transport company of the 113th supply train when he expected to get early action abroad, but his abilities at home were still against him and he was sent to Camp Taylor, where he obtained an officer's commission as first lieutenant. Mr. Green was then assigned to the Field Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, as a teacher of material and mathematics, where he served until the end of the war. Returning from the war Mr. Green nine years ago engaged in the painting and decorating business, first operating for several years from his home at 437 (Continued on Page 2) FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1929 BOY, "Davie" Grand C. W. DAVE GRAND IN COUNCIL RACE A Jeweler, Sponsor of Sports, He Seeks Council Honors David (Davie) Grand, once known as the golden-voiced fireman, later business man and sports enthusiast, delighted his legion of friends last week by announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination for councilman-at-large. "Davie," a resident of Gary for more than 22 years, a veteran of the World war with a record of overseas service, and possessor of a broad background of business experience; will undoubtedly be a factor in the approaching primary contest. Coming to Gary in December, 1906, when the then embryonic city consisted of only a cluster of shacks, Mr. Grand was for several years employed as ticket agent by the New York Central lines. Served As Secretary For a decade he was secretary to ex-Fire Chief Wilfrid Grant, and for three years he was the proprietor of his own cleaning and pressing establishment. At present he is credit manager for Comay's Jewelry, Inc., 624 Broadway. He lives at 124 West 4th. But to his host of friends, "Davie" is perhaps best known for his inimitable talents as a singer and entertainer. For years he has been featured in shows staged by the Elks, Knights of Columbus, American Legion and other civic and fraternal organizations. As a member and potential leader of the pep committee that attended Chamber of Commerce tours of this region, as a singer with the old Gary Municipal band, as a willing worker upon every occasion where his services were in demand, he has extended his acquaintanceship and friendships. In addition to his other activities, Mr. Grand has found time to become one of the foremost boosters of sports and athletics in the Steel City. Ardent Sports Promoter From 1920 to 1922, inclusive, he owned and managed the Gary baseball club when that aggregation was one of the outstanding semi-pro teams of the middle west. "Davie" staged his contests as none since then have staged them, with music for which he paid good money, to entertain, and with other features of interest, and he was uniformly successful. During these same years Mr. Grand directed the Gary Tech football eleven, which is the only really creditable semi-pro football team that ever represented this city upon the gridiron field. Besides being a member of various fraternal bodies, Mr. Grand is an active member of the American Legion, holding at this time the chairmanship of the house committee of Gary Memorial post. If nominated and elected to the city council, Mr. Grand promises to carry into his performance of duties the same enthusiasm, vigor and earnestness that he has manifested in the other activities that have marked his career here. Because of his interest in activities all over the city, Mr. Grand has been fortunate in gaining a wide circle of friends among the colored people of Gary, it was stated today. His love of sports and boxing, pursued for a number of years, has caused him to be thrown in contact with dozens of South Side inhabitants whom he numbers (Continued on Page 2) SCHOOL TEACHER SAYS PASTOR IS HER CHILD'S DAD Betrayed Orphan Girl, Then Told Her He'd Wed Another Spartansburg, S. C.-Claiming that the Rev. J. W. Coleman, pastor of the Majority Baptist church here was the father of her seven weeks old baby boy, Miss Malissa Preston filed a paternity suit against the minister here this week on her return from New York, where she went for her confinement. Miss Preston, a former teacher in the city schools and a graduate of the Hampton institute in 1915, declined at first to make any statement when interviewed. Later she said: "You see this thing has happened. The child is born. The Rev Coleman is its father and I am not married to him, but I don't feel so terribly ashamed of myself. "I am only sore with the Rev. Mr. Coleman for taking advantage of me in the way he did. I can't talk about it to you, but I was justified in going as far as I did with him, for he appeared to be so good and truthful and a minister, too, and I one of his best workers in his church. After having lost my father and mother, in my house there is no one but my niece and myself. I believed his promises and there you are." "He asked me not to bring the baby back here, but when he refused to look after me further and let it be learned that he had decided to take a Miss Griffin into the parsonage as his wife, I figured that I had better come back and have some kind of an understanding with him. "My lawyer advised me to have the courts decide on the affair and that is all I have to say."

The questions are being constantly asked.—Why this multitude of Negro aspirants to be Alderman in the 3rd, 4th and 5th Wards of Gary? What does it mean? In order to face these questions with any degree of satisfaction one must go a bit further and consider directly and indirectly the reasons which the individuals have for aspiring and yet still further back than these are other questions;— What are the qualifications of the CHURCH BUILDER STILL ABSENT: DEATH PROBE WITHOUT RESULTS YET But Mt.

Zion Baptist church contractor, have not yet resulted in anything definite, special investigators stated today. Although temporarily baffled, they are positive that soon they will be able to state with assurance whether Bowdry is dead, as they believe, or kidnapped himself, as police believe. It is nine weeks since Bowdry disappeared from his home at 1729 Virginia street where he lived with his wife and family. Not a word has been heard of him although the factional strife in the church caused by the letting of a $11,000 contract to him has been decided in court in favor of the trustees, his supporters. Meanwhile work on remodeling the church is proceeding as if Bowdry were here to direct it. Prior to Judge Crite's decision a few weeks ago work had begun but stopped.

And, finally, there must be answered these questions;—Is it not a fact that many of them are so absolutely ignorant and ill prepared that if they were elected to the position as councilman they would not only bring disgrace, discouragement and embarrassment to the entire Negro population of this community, but would reflect discredit upon this progressive, intelligent city of which we are all justly proud. Is it not also true that there are other aspirants whose preparations unfit them for the position and whose entanglements and records in the past disqualify them to be the representatives of honest, law-abiding, respectable citizens? It has further been charged from many sources, that certain candidates are being supported and paid to run by certain political leaders who are seeking to vindicate themselves in the positions which they take in supporting and justifying graft, dishonesty and disloyalty to race enterprises. It has been my purpose for calling attention to these conditions only that my readers may appreciate how subtle and apparently hidden hands of the enemies of the best good of not only the colored people of the city of Gary but who would destroy all Gary for the furtherance of their own selfish purposes. At this time I will ask that you will make your own investigations regarding these matters, trace the propaganda which you receive back to its source and determine for yourself if the political giants behind these aspirants are not seeking for personal power or glitter of gold. Also note and check up and see how racially inclined some of these leaders are in turning their patronage from Negro enterprises to those conducted by opposite races.

DALY STEPS IN CITY RACE AS JUDGE CANDIDATE Announcement of his candidacy for the republican nomination of city judge in the May 7 primaries was made today by J. H. Daly, former secretary to Mayor Floyd Williams, secretary of the board of public safety, and until March 1 superintendent of the bureau of identification here, at which time he resigned to enter the political arena. Mr. Daly, known as an unusually capable lawyer, is a native of Indiana. He was born at LaPorte, just 24 miles east of Gary. He obtained his early education in the public schools there and on finishing them took a business college course. Afterwards, he spent three years in a manufacturing plant in order to familiarize himself with modern business methods. Studied Law In Chicago From there Mr. Daly moved to Chicago, where he studied law in the office of Col. A. S. Trude, one of Chicago's most prominent lawyers. He also won fame at this time as an amateur athlete and was affiliated with one of Chicago's biggest athletic clubs, taking part in all athletic events for five years. At the outbreak of the Spanish American war Mr. Daly went south to Tennessee and was assigned to the commissary department there. At the end of the war he began the practice of law and was admitted to all courts in Tennessee. Besides being a member of the courts there, he holds membership in the United States courts, Indiana state courts, and the Gary Bar association. Came Back in 1924 To Gary in 1924 returned Mr. Daly with the plan of spending the rest of his life in his native state. He became a member of Gary's official family in 1926 when he entered the cabinet of Mayor Williams as private secretary. After a year there, he was promoted to the superintendency of the bureau of identification. Mr. Daly has many valued and trusted Negro friends. Those who know him say that he is a firm believer in fair play and has often put himself to extra effort to see that a square deal was given. Humanitarianism and sympathy with the tribulations of others is one of his outstanding traits. He has long been associated with church and welfare work. During the World war he devoted all of his time to welfare work, making hundreds of speeches at various camps and aiding in innumerable drives. Mr. Daly also belongs to many civic organizations here as well as being affiliated with those of a political nature. WIDOW LOSER IN HEART BALM SUIT SEEKING $20,000 Caucasian, 73, Loved Her Three Years Then Quit Philadelphia. — A hectic love affair between Mrs. Martha Washington, 47, widow, and Frank Thees, white, 73, was made known in court here last week when the woman sued for $20,000 claiming breach of promise, but lost the case. Though Mrs. Washington produced no letters in court she claimed that this withered old man, with bald pate, paid ardent to her and copied poems, and wrote honest-to-goodness mushy love-notes! The court-room was in an uproan and Mrs. Washington sobbed heart-brokenly, that the spectators might laugh, that it was all pitifully sad to her. "He—he had called m-me the sunshine of his life." Denied Love The defendant, Frank Thees, who is an insurance collector, detracted not one iota from the general mirth. The old Lothario was denying his love, or that he ever paid court to Mrs. Washington. He admitted, however, that he had been a constant caller at her home since the early part of 1927. He had met her he said in 1921, when his own wife was still living.

GREEN ENTERS RACE FOR CITY COUNCILMAN (Continued from Page 1) Hayes, and a couple of years ago removing to Glen Park and opening his present beautiful Broadway store. He has been very successful in business and expects these qualifications to fit him for capable and efficient official life. In his business he has done the painting and decorating contract upon some of Gary's finest recent buildings, besides redecorating many of the old structures. Among the contracts handled by Mr. Green have been the new Illinois Bell Telephone building, the Avenue apartments, Vesta Court, large business buildings, the Masonic temple, the Erickson apartments at 35th and Buchanan, the 43rd Avenue Presbyterian church, Emmanuel Lutheran church and others. Mr. Green is an ardent Glen Park booster but has sufficient interest in the welfare of all Gary, which he serves, to make a good councilman for all sections. He owns property in Glen Park and has other interests here. The candidate is a Mason, having taken all of the degrees. His church and social affiliations are such as mark a sincere citizen and his club memberships include the Gary Kiwanis club. Speaking of Gary needs, Mr. Green today said that he believed more business men were needed in the city council. He feels that business men of broad experience will be more capable of meeting the demands of this growing city than men who lack experience, breadth of vision and business ability. The years of business experience Mr. Green has enjoyed, his long service in an executive capacity in his own business, give him training that will eminently fit him for the position he seeks, his friends declare. collects premiums, and that he enjoyed her cooking and her wines and beer. The plaintiff protested that Thees had brought his own "spirits." Ended in August The courtship came to an abrupt end last August, just a few days prior to the date set for their marriage. Martha claims that Frank said he had "changed his mind." Mrs. Washington also states that she had purchased her trousseau to the amount of $4,000. Raymond Pace Alexander was counsel for the plaintiff. The only vicious part in the whole proceedings was Judge Joseph L.

Bingham, 1548 Broadway, who will be in charge. This clinic, the first sponsored by any local Negro church, is the idea of Rev. W. L. Lovelace, pastor of the church, Dr. Bingham and the deacon board. It was first presented to the congregation at the Sunday morning services. The 900 people there heartily approved the plan. Although it is planned to enlarge the clinic to include older people as soon as it is seen that the public is sincerely interested, the first sessions will be for children from the ages of three to twelve. "We are great believers in preventive dentistry," Dr. Bingham stated. "We believe that if we start the child right and get him in the habit of coming to dentists at an early age, he will continue that throughout his life and form the habit of proper care of his teeth." The clinic will be held on Saturday only at first. Although it will be free there will be a small charge to cover the cost of materials used. Certificates will be required for admission, and they may be obtained from the directory board of which Rev. Lovelace is chairman. WIFE OF SCHOOL PRINCIPAL DIES A SUICIDE; WAS ILL Baltimore School Head Finds Wife Dead In Kitchen --- Baltimore—Lying motionless beside the gas range on the kitchen floor of their home and with gas jets still turned on, the body of Mrs. William Anderson, wife of the principal of Booker Washington Junior High school here was found by him and his daughter when they returned from school Monday evening. Efforts to revive her by means of pulmotor failed. That Mrs. Anderson evidently took her own life was the conclusion of Coroner Potter who made an investigation. A report in the Northeastern police station made to Captain Thomas J. Mooney stated that Mr. Anderson said that he and Miss Anderson left for their school work at 8:00 a.m. and when they returned at 4:30, they found the body in the kitchen and the house full of gas. He told officers that his wife had been in ill health and dependent for some time. Neighbors detected the gas earlier but thought that it came from a defective street pipe. Before her marriage to Mr. Anderson, the deceased was Miss Nora Prout daughter of Robert Prout and granddaughter of M. Weaver, one of the founders of Union Baptist Church Her parents died while she was young She was raised by her grandparents. The daughter, Miss Hilda Anderson who is 24, is a teacher of Latin in the Douglass High School. For many years the Andersons occupied a home on Druid Hill avenue Lately they moved into a newly built cottage in Morgan Park. Though wishing the change, Mrs. Anderson was unable to accommodate herself to it, and became subject to fits of despondency from which members of her family in vain sought to arouse her. THE GARY AMERICAN ANYTHING WRONG IN WOMEN TAKING A GOOD SMOKE? Girls, Here Is What Some Men Think of Women Smokers By KURIOUS KATIE Do you think it is wrong for women to smoke? Harry Phillips, 1520 Vermont street, contractor: I don't say it is wrong—I think it is all right for women that don't intend to raise families. If they desire to smoke I have no objection. But I don't like to see mothers smoke nor women who intend to become mothers. S. D. Davis, tailor, 2183 Broadway: I would have to think a little longer to see just what I do think about it. I don't just like it, personally, but I don't think there is anything so wrong about it; I really don't. John Russell,realtor,2140 Broadway: I don't smoke myself, so I couldn't give a true opinion. I don't know what affect it has—I suppose it has the same effect on women as on men. However, I was raised to be used to women smoking, as my great-grandmother smoked a pipe, and I don't think a better woman lived. Joseph Sanford, 1833 Adams street: I don't object to a woman smoking if she has the same craving to smoke as a man, but why cultivate a habit that isn't natural just because someone else does it? Anyway, few women really smoke—they simply draw in a little smoke and blow it out of their mouths, which shows that they don't really enjoy it.

SHOVER Elections Ain't What They Used to Be; No Free Cigars or Garden Seed But Some Drinks It has been a beck of a time since politicians passed around cigars that reminded one of corned beef's famous lunch counter companion, and you got by mail lettuce seed that raised some of the most beautiful radishes you ever saw. I believe I'd enter the race for alderman from either the Third, Fourth, or Fifth ward here if there was anybody there I particularly disliked and wanted to try to keep out of office. With no free cigars and garden seed being handed out by politicians, it should be a lot cheaper now to run for office. But the thing that costs these days is the drinks you have to buy to get the voters insensible enough not to care who they vote for and give you a break. About the only way a lot of people can let the public know just what size fools they are is by running for office. Many of those who call themselves running for office seem to the public to give nothing more speedy or exciting than a backward crawl. If I have to convince myself that I ought to waste $5,000 in order to get a $1,000 a year job I'll enter the race. A diplomatic voter can stop working this year and get by real well. With the number of candidates out in the ring, he can appear to be backing each prospect and get his lodging from one, his drinks from another, and his meals from a third—if he doesn't object to sauer kraut and wiener. Some office-seeker ought to get in touch with me. I might be useful. I am used to voting often, and twice to a precinct is no particularly difficult job in Gary. Who'll be the first one to bid high for me? LEGION STARTS DRIVE HOLD AT SATURDAY MEETING OF C LEGION STARTS DRIVE HOLD SECOND SESSION AT SATURDAY MEETING OF CHORISTER MEETING WHILE THEY LAST By FRANK Calumet Post No. 99, the American Legion, meets Saturday evening at eight o'clock at 1984 Broadway, home of Hunton Branch Y. M. C. A. Commander Lewis W. Wallace says "This meeting is the start in the financial drive for a permanent post home, the post baseball team, the monthly social meetings, the boy scout work and the over-the-top membership drive which is to end on March 16, 1929. All legionnaires and war-time service men are cordially invited to be present on time. The post is brim full of interest and activity. The meetings are live. Come all ye that are full of pep and want to do things--you're welcome and can help develop our program." 'Y' PLANS BIG MEMBER DRIVE Privileges of Y. M. C. A. to Get Special Emphasis Within the next two weeks, the biggest membership drive ever launched by Hunton Branch Y. M. C. A. will get under way, it was announced today by Secretary E. L. Gordon. Although details have not been completed, it is planned to make every available man here a member of the Y. M. C. A. Advantages of belonging to the organization will be stressed, as well as the privileges enjoyed at the local branch and opportunities in "Y's of other cities. The association is non-partisan in nature and caters to no particular religious sect. That it is indeed a worthwhile project is seen in the philanthropies of Julius Rosenwald who has given much money for the erection of new buildings. Last year edifices ranging from $100,000 to $511,000 were built for colored people in 15 different cities. A rubber suit that keeps a wearer afloat and permits him to walk about in water has been invented in Germany, chiefly for the use of firemen.

Tonight at seven o'clock the second period in the school for choir leaders will begin and continue for one hour under the direction of Miss Bessie Nelson who is conducting two sessions in repertoire. The school is being held in the auditorium of Neighborhood house, located at 1700 Adams street. Friday night a week ago the course started. A large number of choir leaders from churches of all denominations throughout the city enrolled. The only cost of the course, which is seven weeks long, is a small fee which covers the expenses of bringing out of town lecturers to Gary. Seat Sale Big For First Baptist Play With the advance sale of tickets being large, sponsors of the drama, "A Sin Against Society," to be presented at the First Baptist church here next Tuesday evening at eight o'clock, believe that the church auditorium will be filled to capacity. The play itself, to be presented by members of the famous Probusso club of Chicago of which Dr. Elizabeth Kelly-Greene and J. L. Reddix, Roosevelt Annex teacher, are members, tells a dramatic tale. Human loves and hates, and the cost of one little "slip" are strongly brought out. The cast is experienced, having given that play and others and is under the direction of competent actors. Tickets cost 25 cents for children and 50 cents for adults. In order to be assured of a good seat, the public is advised to come early or purchase tickets now. A German railway has effected economies with turbine locomotives that condense their waste steam and return it to the boilers in the form of hot water. FRIDAY. MARCH 8. 1929 MORE GIRLS BORN HERE THAN BOYS; DEATH RATE LOW 19 Boys and 14 Girls In Total Births of 188; Deaths Number 79 Five more girls were born in colored families here during the month of February than boys during the same period, according to the monthly report just released by Mrs. Rose Smith of the department of public health. Boy births were 14 and girl births were 19, together amounting to 33 of the total of 188 for all races born during the month. There were almost two and one-half times as many births here as deaths during February. Deaths totaled 79. No figures were kept of the racial identities of the deceased people. Infant mortality continued high, with 24 deaths of children less than one year old. Pneumonia was the most dangerous malady of the month, 17 persons dying from that cause alone. Tuberculosis took a toll of eight, cancer and heart trouble took four each, two died of influenza, and homicides and autos had one victim each. There were only 24 cases of quarantine. Of that number, 17 signs were posted for scarlet fever, four for small-pox, and three for diphtheria. Chicken pox and measles, not considered dangerous enough to have quarantine signs posted, caused 24 for the former and one for the latter to lie sick in bed. PLAN 19TH. BROADWAY LIGHT Bids Received By City For Stop Lights; No Funds That stop-and-go light south side citizens have hoped to see erected at 19th avenue and Broadway for many a day may soon become an actuality instead of an idle dream, if the board of public safety here can get sufficient funds to finance its erection. In October of last year it was stated that this light would be erected as soon as the city council and the electric company could come to terms. The contractors wanted $1,000 for the job but the city was unwilling to pay that amount. Since that time, the board of safety has received numerous bids from different companies and announce that a satisfactory sum has been agreed upon. It remains only to have the necessary funds apportioned, which may be obtained at the next meeting of the city council.

G MACHINES AT $3.00 UP GARY, INDIANA Our Town FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1929 Our BY LOUISE WHITTED Everybody knows what a charming ensemble of young women the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority can boast, and no less delightful are the entertainments which they arrange. So it is with anticipation of an unusual evening that we look forward to their cabaret dance on the evening of Friday, March 15, at Crystal Gardens. The end toward which these young women direct their efforts is idealistic and philanthropic and anything, they undertake should have deepest interest and fullest support. The bears and tigers are conducting a contest. No, not at—well, let us start at the beginning. Forty members attended the meeting of the Business and Professional Men's club at Stewart house when W. W. Cooke, Wm. C. Hueston and Dr. Bethea very ably discussed the present administration. Mr. Cooke talked on President Hoover's election; Mr Hueston discussed his cabinet, and Dr. Bethea spoke on Hoover, previous to his election. The members were enthusiastic over the tone of the meeting. And now they have divided themselves into two groups—the Bulls and the Tigers. (The writer would suggest that the wives be permitted to classify them.) The contest will be conducted on attendance records, and the Tigers have 123 points while the Bears have 70 points. Dr. Wood heads the Tigers and Mr. Hightower the Bears. Losers will banquet the winners, and—they didn't say, but maybe the women will get in on that. CLUB TO GIVE PLAY The play to be given by the ProBusso club of Chicago on next Tuesday will no doubt draw a large patronage from drama lovers. One of the leads will be played by C. N. Greene of the Eagle Printing Co., who is a recent Gary addition to the cast, the majority being Chicago talent. The date — March 12. SPONSORS WHIST PARTY The whist party given by the Elite club at Lake County Children's home Tuesday evening was well attended and quite a success.

John Smith, vice-commander, department of Indiana; words of encouragement from Capt. Moses Atkins, added to a very interesting program of instrumental and vocal solos and readings rounded out an evening of full entertainment, after which a delightful repast was provided in two courses. Officers installed were as follows Myrtle Adams, president; Minnie Page, vice-president; Vashti Leather wood, secretary; Myrtle Orendorf treasurer, and Mrs. Griffin, chaplain.

HIWARDEN The funeral of Clifford Hiwarden who died at his home, 2557 Adams street, last week, was held at First A. M. E. church Monday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. McClendon officiating, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Allen. Mrs. Corinne Cross rendered a solo very touchingly. Mr. Hiwarden had been a resident of Gary since 1917 and for a number of years made his home with Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Steptep. He was married about a year ago, and leaves his wife Mehalia, and a mother and sister who reside at 2236 Madison street. He was a staunch member of the First A. M. E. church. J. D. Smith was the mortician in charge of the body. By Stella Reid Garnett Who can tell us what it is that "our own R. B."—(oh, yes, he has a surname; it's Allen for those who never knew) has under his hat aside from that patent leather pump and those glorious "boudoir eyes?"

Maybe his cohort the faithful Raymond can tell us, for he has done likewise and both can be seen in daily pilgrimages to the good old car works. You know the name Pullman always was a drawing card and this proves it. Mrs. J. W. McGee, 505 N. Woodland avenue was the guest of the Wide Awake Fancy Work club which met with Mrs. O. L. Wilkes of Rose street last Tuesday. Our former fellow townswoman, Mrs. Dr. Mott is trumpeter in the Ladies' orchestra of South Bend and we are told that it is marvelous what volume of sound one so slender can evoke from that instrument. Mr. and Mrs. Earl McCallister and Mrs. Choice Berkley composed the faithful few who met with the representatives of the Coleridge Taylor musical group at the residence of Rev. Dean last Tuesday evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, respectively president and critic; Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Dean, promoter and secretary; Miss Ruth Adams, chaplain, and Mrs. Leila Thompson, vice president all of La Porte expected to organize a similar club here, but owing to a misunderstanding some who would have met them were not in evidence. However, Rev. Dean, the sponsor, with that fine optimism so much a part of him declared they were not discouraged and will return. This club is open to all who are musically inclined, or who are interested in the promotion of those who are, which should include all of us. We so often hear that there is nothing worth while here, and now is our chance AGAIN to show that it is not ourselves at fault. So let's rally, friends. The Wide-Awake club met with Mrs. Stevenson of Pleasant avenue the past Tuesday and will meet again next Tuesday, but the name of the hostess was not sent in. Let's hope the chili-con-carne supper at Bethel next week, Thursday, will be in keeping with the real nature of the Wed a Year 1970 There is less trouble in staying married than there is in getting married, says Mrs. Robert Eubanks, 18, of Baltimore. A year ago on the eve of her wedding day her plans for marital bliss were suddenly checked by the thumbs down movement of the bridegroom's father. Her mother stepped in and saved the day. word chili, red-hot, and not as it sounds—chilly—in atmosphere, because these ladies, Mesdames Earl McCollister and Bell, with their coworkers are trying hard to keep the ball rolling. And the same group is planning a novel program for Sunday, March 10, at 3 p. m., in the main auditorium, called a "favorite song program." More about this next week, but in advance, do your part nobly as the "judge" did last year at the Liberty club,—remember? but don't for goodness sake sing "three o'clock in the morning" for all three churches are to take part. And now about the last, but not the least (I always would save my cake till the last)—Our own Leila Kelly Thompson, the talented young matron of LaPorte, whose infant is such a prize winner in baby shows, has written a play, "The Fortune Teller," which was staged Friday night, Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, at Allen Chapel by the Community Players of LaPorte. A number of our people attended and expressed their appreciation of the talent displayed by both the young authores and the cast. Mrs. Berkley turns away readers each week with the reluctant verdict of "sold out" and subscriptions are looking up, Mrs. Garnett announces, so get your orders in early for the American, to Mrs. Berkley, 416 E.

FOREIGN ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVES: J. V. Houghtaling & Company, 176 West Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois, Telephone Franklin 2468. The sixteenth presidential term since the Civil War started Monday—since 1865 the civilized world has been startled by, then reconciled to, automobiles, the radio, the telephone, the airplane, motion pictures, Bob Ingersoll and William Jennings Bryan— by those misguided Aframericans who support jim crow institutions like the segregated news column of the Gary Post-Tribune. Many of the people who foster such discrimination have been through college, a place in which individuals are commonly supposed to become educated. Most of the others make no pretense of having extraordinary knowledge. Those college educated people must have had their minds off a-fishing during their days in school, or they would have learned that the surest way to get rid of jim crowism is to kill it. The most flagrant example of segregation in Gary today is the daily paper's column, "News of Gary's Colored Folks," yet many of the college-bred Negroes here almost stampede to get their news to the Post-Tribune in that column. Such behaviour is to be expected of the man or woman who has not had higher intellectual training. But we expect better things of those who claim they are learned. We have stated before that we blame both the daily newspaper and the black Garyites for the column. It's the Post-Tribune's wolf yet Aframerican lambs feed it. As evidenced in the Schumann-Heink recital at the auditorium last November, the segregation wolf stole into the pasture and made the black lambs suffer by being jim crowed in their seating arrangements. Yet the lambs who bleated loudest then are the same ones who nourish the daily segregated column. Theodore Bilbo, clown governor of the bailiwick of Mississippi, granted last week a full pardon and restoration of citizenship to Tom Carr, unfortunate character in Sidney Smith's famous "Andy Gump" comic strip, now in a comic strip penitentiary for a theft of $10,000. Sixty-five yokels from the thriving boob-hatchery of Lake Dawson, Miss., signed the petition, which with a pardon was mailed from the executive mansion at Jackson. This is the same governor, you remember, who refused to investigate the lynching at Lombardy the last day of 1928 and was equally indifferent regarding the atrocity at Hattiesburg two days before. Well, we'll say we are glad that we do not live in Mississippi. We cannot see how there could logically be an insane asylum in the whole state. There is? And Governor Bilbo free? It is highly probable that the good citizens of Lake Dawson actually believed that a Caucasian was serving time in a penitentiary for a theft he did not comit. The minds of southern Nordics present peculiar complexes. Two black men die tortuous deaths and their lynching is condoned by the state governor and most of the citizens. A fictitious character serves time in a fictitious prison and a number of citizens declare it to be an outrage. They have no anti-evolution laws in Mississippi—probably because Bilbo and the rest of the Nordies have not yet evolved. Business and the Negro Merchant The New York News, in its Inquiring Reporter column, asked this question last week: When occasion permits, do you patronize colored stores in preference to white stores? Some of the replies follow: "No. Lack of business efficiency, dating from Civil War days, handicaps the colored merchant greatly." "No. The colored merchant usually charges higher prices and keeps a low quality of merchandise." "Yes. I have learned the greatest of all lessons — that of racial co-operation." "No. If you want to pay higher prices, trade in a colored store." "Yes. I don't mind a few cents. I buy in colored stores anyway." "No. The white merchant has learned that courtesy pays, but the colored storekeeper hasn't learned that lesson yet." "No. The Negro merchant doesn't know that it pays to advertise in colored newspapers." If we take the answers listed above as typical of the whole race, we can understand the Negro's reluctance to trade with institutions owned and controlled by people of his own color. Call the opinions unfounded or prejudiced or what you will, they are the thoughts of the masses and on the masses must Negro merchants depend for their existence. But it is a fact that many colored storekeepers are insolent and unaccompodating. They seem possessed of the idea that advantage will be taken of them because of their color, and as a consequence become insulted when no insult is meant. It is likewise a fact that many stores charge more than their white competitors. That is true due to the many chain stores in existence. To undersell them or even charge the same prices they do would mean that the black storekeeper must eventually go out of business. We realize the existence of envy held by Negro for Negro. In all fairness to the black merchant, we admit that he fights a double battle in order to win success. He must combat the prices of his white competitors, as well as the envy and prejudice of his own race. And this in addition to his lack of ability and knowledge of business methods. But one of the biggest handicaps comes from the nearsightedness of the Negro merchants themselves. They do not know the value of advertising in the newspapers of their race. The day of "maybe he'll come in if he passes by my store and sees I'm colored, too," is many years past. White merchants keep their names constantly before the public and come to be a sort of tradition with the buyer through advertising in Negro newspapers. If you doubt this, look over the advertisements in this issue of THE GARY AMERICAN and see for yourself. Then notice how many colored businesses of the same type and in the same community are conspicuous by their absence. There is no reason why Negro stores should not be successful. But to do so, they must compete with white merchants and not attempt to capitalize on race pride. While they lack the organization to compete with chain stores, still they should be as successful as the individual white storekeeper. And to accomplish this, they must do two things: be courteous and friendly to all, and keep themselves and merchandise before the Negro public by advertising in the Negro newspapers.

Ray of Kokomo, Ind., was a week end visitor with Mrs. Mattie Bond of East Fourth street and spoke at the morning service in Bethel A. M. E. church last Sunday. Mrs. Sadie B. Stith of 119 Caval street is slowly improving from her last attack of neuritis. Mrs. Edward Donaby was agreeably surprised on February 26 by a birthday party given her by her devoted daughter, Mrs. Choice Berkley, who presented her mother with a beautiful amethyst ring. Since Mr. Donaby's advent we suppose we will be forced to think of Choice as the other "third" as it formerly seemed she was the other half of her "Biddy's" life. Miss Mattie King, diminutive instructor in Elston school, spent last week-end with her aunt in Chicago. Sunday, March 3, the Coleridge Taylor group of LaPorte, are scheduled to meet with all who are interested in organizing another such club here at Bethel church at 3 p. m. We have it first hand that Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Jones intend returning to Chicago to live during the month of March. Rev. and Mrs. Dean, Mrs. Danaby and Mrs. Berkley, attended the musical playlet written by Mrs. Leila Kelly-Thompson, produced by the young authoress in the stellar role, ably assisted by Mr. Williams opposite Mrs. Thompson, Miss Ruth Adams at the piano and Misses Kathryn Bostic and Kathryn Stewart rendering instrumental solos in their usual pleasing style at Allen's chapel, LaPorte, on the 22nd. They were enthusiastic about the play, its reception and talent, and also about the individual service in the dining hall of the church with its souvenirs and the fact that LaPorte's mayor contributed generously to the refreshments. Heard over the phone last Monday: "Well, I declare, that Cliff Jones jess won't do! Now I wonder whatever he done with them there beans." The Coleridge-Taylor group was prevented from attending the enjoyable chili supper given at Bethel by Mesdames Earl McCallister, Bell and others last Thursday, that being the regular meeting night of their club in LaPorte, but will be here on March 10 with bells on.

Mrs. Edward Donaby had as dinner guests last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Gibbons. The Willing Workers of Mt. Zion church were entertained with a two-course luncheon at the residence of Mrs. Sam Harris recently. Rev. J. C. Pillow, for three years past of Mt. Zion church, died of pneumonia after a brief illness at the home of his cousin, 58th and Prairie avenue, Chicago, last Monday. Funeral arrangements are incomplete to date, but it is understood that several of his former parishioners intend attending his obsequies. Two auxiliaries of the Willing Workers were recently formed at Mt. Zion church with Mrs. Gibbons as captain of one and A. B. Chambers of the other. These clubs will work in connection with the Willing Workers in an endeavor to liquidate the churches obligations and to regain the cooperation of old friends. Mrs. Joe Gibbons of Pleasant avenue, honored her granddaughter, Miss Vashti Campbell, on the 22nd with a tea party at which several of her young friends made merry. T.

There is one other issue being brought forth which to the mind of every intelligent American citizen is meant only to becloud the truth and to deceive those who are thought to be ignorant. I refer to the reasons for which a man ought to be chosen and elected. There are those who think that the public is ignorant enough to believe that the position of councilman was created simply to be passed around, and because a man has served for one term or two terms, he should be put out and another elected regardless of how efficient and serviceable the acting alderman might have been or is or how inefficient and unfit the new aspirant may be. In accordance with the national policy and in keeping with state and municipal usages, the man who has been in office and rendered acceptable service should be returned, unless a better and more serviceable candidate may be put in his place.
