New Pittsburgh Courier from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania • Page 8

Bock fo the Church i ABOUT PEOPLE HERE AND THERE We read with interest the article in re the recent trip Mrs. Chris tine S. Smith, president of the NACW, took throughout the South and West and in which she deplores the trend away from the Church and the home. And we've got to admit that this generation not the coming generation but the one in which I belong has slipped too far from the Church and its teachings. Why? Too busy too busy making a living or keeping up with the Joneses or doing the hundred and one things that seem to be important to one's dally life.

But are they as important as that spiritual contact you get when you go to church not just to be seen in a new hat or dress but go to get a good message. One that makes you think and want to do better. We don't mean going, either, to a church where the minister Is the superstitious type who Is apt to lead unthinking folk astray, and keep them in the dark ages of religion. We mean' going to a church where the minister puta thought into his sermons plus good common sense. Where he tries to teach you to really love your neighbor, whatever his color try to unueniiuia mm ana neip uu uvijuuvi you beside him is worth while.

And where the minister tries to think up new ways of making young folk turn to each other instead of the divorce court. There is more; to going to church than just singing hymns and trying to get on the choir. There's the extra work of thinking up new ways of entertaining the young folk so that they'll have fun under the Church's jurisdiction rather than in a corner pool room or tavern. Yes, we need to get back to the church to the fold and we need some Up and coming ministers to help us when we do get back. We don't need as much shouting as we do understanding of our problems and how to face them.

Maybe if we come back to church we'll help the ministers too. Maybe they're tired of talking to empty benches and giving their messages to cobwebs across their stained glass windows. Yes, definitely, we think we need to get back into the fold. i So They Play for Charity Did you know that The Courier has established a Charity Fund and the first venture which will bring (we hope!) lots of money into the fund's coffers, is an absolutely swooney concert in New York's Carnegie Hall, comes March 15 when Lionel Hampton, the Great and all the folks who took honors in The Courier artists' popularity contest will give of their greatest First to benefit from the proceeds will be the Committee for Racial Democracy in Washington, which has been doing a magnificent job of breaking down theatre jim crow and other discriminations and next will be the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for Cancer Research and Treatment. We like that last, particularly, because The Courier is recognizing no racial boundaries there.

and is giving to an organization which will help all races, not just one. In the background of this scintillating affair March 15 is that level headed little business manager of Lionel Hampton, Gladys his ever so chic wife whose wardrobe is something to sigh over, gels. Gladys, a mite of a thing, with shiny black hair and the profile of an Indian, will be behind the scenes egging Lionel and the boys on to a terrific performance. On the same program will be Count Basic, Ella Fitzgerald, the Ink Spots, Billie Eckstlne and the whole role of Courier winners. And by the by, the Mutual network will broadcast a half hour of the, program beginning at midnight! I The Stuff That Makes Columns Did you know that 'exotic Fal Milai of Dee Cee made a very smooth and unannounced altar trek with Alvin Rucker, the guy who's going to the Islands on that important job! Fai and her bridegroom arrived in Pittsburgh this week end for a visit with family the Harold Butlers and brother, Sam Milai.

The staff of the Standards and Methods Division of the USES (to which group Mr. R. belonged before he was upped to labor chief of the islands), entertained for them the night before they came to Pittsburgh with the party being held at the home of Alvin's former boss, Robert L. Thomas, in Alexandria, Va. There were more than half a hundred folks there, all races among them were Collis Stocking, assistant director Richard Fletcher, chief of the S.

and M. Division Hazel Guffey, chief of the program section Luis Cushi, former commander of the American Legion in Puerto Rico Hugh Kerwin, assistant operations chief of Vets Employment Service. Fai and Alvin are leaving, via boat, the end of this week, for their new home in San Juan and we're hoping they meet, but soon, Lucille and Guy Gaetan, our good pals of Philly days. Lucille is the former Lucille Stephens and Guy, a Harvard Law School grad, read law in the offices of Raymond Pace Alexander during the halycyon days of '37. Tommi Walker Johnson, still going like a whirlaglg at a fair, "did" Cleveland recently and guested with Lauretta Banks Floyd (whose brother is a member of Tommi's staff) and the Norman McGhees.

Hear tell they (the McGhees) have a beautiful home overlooking the park The AKA's received for To mm I after she talked at the St. James Forum with Wenonah Reynolds, basileus, officiating. Tommi went to Danville, Vav, t'other week to speak for the AKA's. there which is, by the way Boston's Shag Taylor's home. In Nashville, Tenn.

T. C. Collier. By the by, the Colliers have two sons at Howard U. one in the music department, the other in the law.

Eve Lynn of Philly posts from Mexico City that the inimitable Bricktop is jtill going strong and making friends galore among the International set which has chosen Mexico as a playground while Paris is being re groomed for fun. Eve Lynn and her handsome hubby, Hobson, are having a ball! Hear tell too, that Dr. Horace Scott, Lonnie Wall and Bill Sullivan of Philly have headed for the ssme exotic spot and speaking of Lonnie Wall, just heard about one or me xaoulous bridge parties given in Philly by his cute blonde wife, Lil. From what we hear, the Wall home is the last work in exquisite decor and the parties given there are later than the last word with hostess Li' giving rrmd. mad prizes like gold ear rings and perfume bottles and things like that We used to rave about the parties we wont to in Philly, now wt see they're still going sirong.

Moran Weston of New York, has started the Carver Savings and Loan Association we'd like to know more about it. We see a couple of names on the board of directors that we know Clarence D. King, whose wife Janice we knew several years ago Dr. Charles A.

Petioni. whose sister we knew Ebony is going to talk about Marian Anderson's arming technique In its next issue. Last week we were tooo tooo beat to even write a line in the: column about Daisy Lampkin's big week end when she waa made honorary Delta soror. We couldnt even mention the pretty aqua gown and fuchsia gloves worn by Grand President Mae Wright Downs at the banquet nor the black taffeta gracing the slim flgger of Jerolean Sneed, Midwest director garnished with sparkles and with an uneven hemline that waa Intriguing. Daisy chose a handsome black gown made by Saks Fifth Avenue trimmed with beads Dr.

Marechal Neil Young of Philly waa pretty pretty In blush pink and by the way, did she do a beautiful Job on the speaking Sunday! She was guest speaker at the public meeting her subject "Service" and she developed It marvelously. We all missed Grand Secretary Reber Cann of Clncy, who was unable to be with us because of family illness Ethel Ramos Harris trained the Delta Trio Mary Baltimore, Lillian Reynolds of Dee Cee and Bernlce Jenkins (who's going overseas soon to Join her soldier hubby) and then did some soloing herself. By the way, did you know that Ethel is being presented in recital In Boston, comes Palm Sunday by the Women's Service Club (to which we belong and in which we own one. count it nhare of stock!) and beginning the first week In April she'll make a tour of Ohio for the Federated Women's Clubs!

Although the NACW president noted a general social awaening among ox color sne was aiso amazea 10 nna xnnx. xne moaera irena away from the church as creating new sociaiproDlems that are paruciuiariyiirue 10 xne moaern nqmes 1 11 at ore to om aepioraa away irom itv. wi4 jk amonr juveniles, la the almost com oleta breakdown of home Ufa among people or color. This breakdown, believes Mrs. Smith, is the esult very largely of easy divorces and a consequent lack of responsibility for ouoii uu cnuarco.

Mrs. Smith quoted one authority which states that in 1NL of 1.995, 999 marriages, there were 293.000 di rvoreee wun 17.3 divorces per iuu marriages; in 1949 at the end or the war. in 1,018.331 marriages, tnere were 603,000 dvorces with 31.0 divorces per 100 marriages. That "rise of 13.7 divorces per 100 marriages indicated the easy divorces as one of the great contemporary social evils. i Throughout the fifty years of civ ic work carried on very largely through its Mother Home Child De partment, the National Association of Colored Women has advocated a wholesome respect for marriage bonds.

Smith has. asked Mrs. I. W. Rowan, superintendent of the Ba dy State School of Brady, who chairman of the Mother Home Department of the National Asso ciation of Colored Women, to carry on a program amonr club women to build up a srreat respect for fam ily life through: first, coordinated home activities: second, through the censoring of movies that glorify the acting of divorcees and stories based on divorced parents; third, participation in all community ac tivittes with organizations spoi all nsor a uniformed divorce law in the States.
