K. Bill. MAJOR BOWES AMATEURS By William E. Clark My good friend, Prof. Arthur Davis of Virginia Union Uni versify, complains in a recent issue of The Norfolk Journal and Guide about the conduct of certain Negro amateur performers who have appeared on the Major Bowes Amateur Hour, which is presented by the National Broadcasting Company every Sunday night.

The Professor writes: Major Bowes Clown I can understand why a Negro servant will some times "Uncle Tom" and "clown" for his employer. gets paid pretty well for doing it, and pay means bread to him. I caff understand why Negro lawyers cloym before the court, because in many cases judges and jurors can be laughed into a semblance of justice when more decorous ways would be useless. I can even understand why Negro leaders will make "asses' of themselves with proposals which are silly and often insulting to their own group i because they thereby make ''friends" of influential whites who find them "safe" and these friends will "go the limit" for a safe Negro. But, for the.

life of me, I cannot understand why per. fectly normal, intelligent Negroes, who ordinarily speak fairly decent English, will go to New York for Major Bowes. Hour and make fools of themselves talking brokenly about ham, pork chops, and get nothing for it. They go there to sing or play, as the case may be. They are judged by this performance and nothing else.

Then why in the name of common sense must so many of them feel that they must exemplify in' person all of the tricks which have characterized blackface minstrels for the last ninety years. Does Major Bowes require this downing of Negroes? If he does, somebody ought to have manhood enough to mike protest to the sponsor of the, program. But if Major Bowes is not guilty; if this is just another case of the Negro "clowning his way through," I for one, would be glad to work up a club of intelligent Negroes who would be willing to buy double the amount of Chase and Sanborn Coffee to keep Negroes OFF the air on this hour. (In fairness to those who have appeared on this pro' gram conducting themselves with dignity, I want it understood that I do not include them in my censure.) I've heard several of the and the one in particular on which, a designated hemselves as "Ham Bones and Pork Chops," incidentally they won a job for themselves. tontestants reply to questions In the old fashioned Negro dialect.

Now Professor Davis hap pens to be" a teacher of English and I suppose it was natural for this sldvenly talk to get on his nerves. But I think he Is among those of our racial group who are too sensitive on Pie race question and are Hkely (s none intended. From observation, I have Major Bowes is as fair to his re arc has never sougnt to noicuie me r.e.gro race mrougo them. If they choose to seltct a foolish stage name or speak In Negro dialect, its certainly not his fault. On the other band if they have talent and numbers over, well, whatever eame and the radio audience is would be were the contestant peare, and if he talks like an Is all the more applatfded.

It seems to me that.Major bany Negroes have asked for, in that, he is making no distinction because, cf race or color, among the amateurs who ppeaf on his program. As I ed is that the contestant be a cr near New York. If he makes application for an audition it will be heard. And moreover, a responsible organization will give hitn ork as a professional if he makes good. This does not mean iktt a separate unit for Negroes will be organised but that te mil travel with one ot the ten units now gotng a pout me tountry under Major Bowes' direction and will entertain io theatres now.

catering largely to white patrons. The whole movement, to my way of thinking, is a worthy one, and all too few Negroes appear on the At the present time the opportunities for new Negro tal ent on the American stage are dio is rendering a distinct servic when it serves as a "feeder" for the stage and especially when it offers opportunity to all rfgardless of rac.e or color. THAT NEGRO THEATRE PROJECT LTHOUGH IT IS reported tht John head the federal. Negro Theatra project, has heeded the flood of protests and given Negroes a few more executive positiifli.and'a. little more control of the project in its ''t coni cal the setup is still favoritism is still rampant in this is due in part, it is allowed.

Many favored 'n this department BenoieBufJer, tio was CLAUS as I'm concerned this week, out how to fill this space in recent Major Bdwes programs I've also heard several Negro put to them by Major Bowes to see ridicule where there reached the conclusion that Negro contestants as he could are successful in putting their they call themselves is just a no more entertained than they to call himself William Shakes igncrant person his performance Bowes is doing just what so understand it, all that is requir genuine amateur and resides in programs. very much limited and the ra far from satisfactory au gross many of the said to the. tricky classifications the classification of Senior Re individuals have been placed scheduled, to have been appointed liason officer between Mr. Houseman and his colored staff.

It roust be operated professionally as cUhet progressive organizations.

As to whether the New Year will bring fewer family failures, and maladjusted situations is not' contingent upon the determined resolutions made by husband and wives alone, but by outside social economic and even political agencies as well. Because of its inferior econ dmic status, the Negro family, suf. fers more instability than the family of the white race.

In addition to instructing Wtj mini! in health he has daily the Op portunity for observing the signs v. which give tentative evidence. of existing disease or defect. In over lookinir this opportunity he is guilty of neglect in a degree far greater than any lack of efficiency ia the supervision of studies.

Tlie teacher is not permitted by law to conduct examinations of to diagnose, but because of his positio of responsibility, it is expected thai he be ever on tlie alert to detect what appear to be defects, abnormalities, or disease, and that he report his suspicion to the school physician ot nurse. i Not infrequently the aid of teacfia en it enlisted by school physician) to facilitate handling of large numbers of pupils, thus completing thd health examinations early in the school term. In such instances, tM teachers are requested to look of and report on one or more of the following items: signs of eyesfaraisf red evelids. detective hearinfft. mal nutrition, mouth breathing, decayed.
