THIS IS OUR TOWN: The reeent reopening of the'Savoy Ballroom created quite a stir the Harlem sector, A lot of people ire wondering where all these who stand inline come from. While the doors of the "Home of Happy Feet" opened a little after nine la tyeninf, thousands had milled around as fctrly as 6 p.m. to five the occasion World Series atmosphere.

Now 'that it has definitely taken place and aHj is serene up there on Lenox avenue, we're asking the ofay hoodlums to take it on the lam and let our coffee fals be. If they'll do just this The Savoydoors will remain open. One of the stories going the rounds Involves Bulie Holiday, the torch singer; who they would have you believe refused to entertain soldiers about to leave for their embarkation camp, because riding on a bus evoked a hardship. As a result, the soldiers have nominated the singer as the No. 1 Stinko Gal with the boys in uniform and, it all adds up.

We recall the time when, as an entertainer at the Hot Cha Restaurant (which was then one of the town's smartest niteries that is, before the rioting era) created much favorable comment with her singing. It was in this same column that she got her first plugs (build up to you!) We became her first praise agent and from there, as the old scrapbook and our files show, we got; nowhere simply! because Miss Holiday failed to appreciate the lift we gave her on her climb up the ladder of success. While she did avoid us on several occasions, publicly, the matter was erased from our mind because we have seen them come because they became big, and have seen them go because they were small and cheesey in their deeds. Of course it all adds up. Miss Holiday.

When the time comes that performers cannot go out of their way to entertain our boys who have given np their all to fight and maintain the liberties that America has known since the founding of the Thirteen these performers should not be permitted to enjoy even the fresh air, sunshine and the better things in life that are free to all real Americans. ON THE OTHER HAND: Ralph Cooper has went a great many distances to entertain men is the armed forces. He has appeared on many benefit shows where he was the only Negro and there were no colored soldierf. sailors or marines in attendance. Whenever he has been called upon, he has donated his service.

On many occasions Cooper has been the sole saviour, of such benefit shows. We know of one particular instance. It was wnen ine n. x. wy iveiense, unimn piscca our name as guest of honor (and we felt honored) at the local recreation center for our boys.

Both Elfreda Sandifer and L. Alexander cooperated with us to the fullest extent, and the show went on. was one case that interested us most, however. Be cause Ella. Fitzgerald was unable to attend (she forwarded a telegram to the boys stating because of doubling from the Apollo Theatre to Club Zamibar prevented her appearing on 4 the bill) Henry Williams volunteered.

Nobody had asked him he insisted upon going in Miss Fitzgerald's stead. He "broke up the' show, as did Ralph Cooper whose laugh provoking antics always one of the highlights wherever he's appearing. We merely mention all this because deep in our hearts we feel that there is something that you, you and you can do to help. Buy a War Stamp, Buy Bonds, Help a man in uniform by doing him a good turn. Remember he doesn't want to be away from home and his loved ones no more than you.

Mm Fro By Ear. WtUAM KEEN AN (Dlracter, CkrktUsi InsUtaU ter America Democracy) It hu Us. en tan years, since the liae ot Hitler, to make us tee that men who renounce sound moral principles have only the alternative left of acting like animals in re sponse to thedetoaadt ot their unbridled passions and instincts. Hitler denied the validity of the Christian relifton and the existence of universal moral law, and taught the German people that their destiny lay in obedience to the promptings of their blood. We have wit nested the results.

From all cor ners of Europe comet 'the same story of wild and unrestrained violence, pillaging, looting and massacre. The latest evidence la now before us. From what are called unchallengeable sources, the "New York Times" for October 26th, reported the story of bow the Nasi began on January 18th to destroy the Jtwt of the Warsaw Ghetto and how they did noti stop until not one Jew of the 500.000 in the Ghetto remained. This it not recorded as a means for inciting hatred of the Germans, for hatred ia aa futile aa It ia false in principle. It is recorded to re mind us that men anywhere, who renounce the moral law which proceeds from God.

will hive nothing to resort to aa a basis for living except the demands eg their pessionf which can never produce life la terma of love and Justice. but only life In terms of hate and pillage and massacre. What baa happened in Germany can happen ia America, if we ne glecl to educste children la the knowledge of the moral law and If we flout It ourselves. Ia It it already happening la America, exactly as It befin to happen ia Germany some years ag. by the spread ot malicious gossip about the' Jews; followed now at ia Boston by open and violent attacks upon them.

This it not the work of grace la men's bearta. This It sin reigning men's mortal bodies. This at not the work of men whe yield themeehret to God "aa Instrument! of rlghteousneaa." Tile to the work eg tnea who yield fhemeelvea to sia "as fawtramantt of righteousness." The attack upon the Jews It not something with which they alone should be concerned. It It eome tfcia with which Christiana should be concerned, because Anti Semit ism It an tnrltatloa to men to act contrary to the truth eg. God for 5 it TV to etCCnC.

There is nothing to be gained by refusing to face this situation. These sets of wsnton riolence 'in the world are evidence that men are drifting away from their moorings in Christ In a aituation ao grave and ao full of meaning for all Christians, there ia nothing left for the Church to do except to brand Anti Semitism, as well as all other manifestations of immorality, aa sin against God and, having done that, to show men how, in Christ, they can be restored, like the Gad arena Demoniac, to their right mind.
