Gilby Robinson, founder and head of the Lincoln Secretarial School, is planning the opening of a large department store, manned entirely by colored people, in Harlem in the near future. The idea of establishing such a business in the neighborhood of 125th street grew out of his experience in placing graduates from his school with the various business houses in this vicinity. On several occasions, says Prof. Robinson, retail stores on 125th street have asked him to furnish them with girls for secretarial or clerical positions, but when told that most of his girls were colored, they cancelled the order. Jhe professor has a plan for financing bis.

project, and believes that such a store, furnishing competition to the stores run exclusively by white people, would serve to break down the barriers of prejudice against the Negro in business and would cause many of the stores with a large percentage of colored trade to give employment to members of the Negro race.

A Community Center For Wlambridge By NELSON E.

DIXON Between three and five hundred Negro families live in Williams bridge, a thriving sub division of the Bronx. A large portion of them are property owners, and all of them progressive. While the group has ample church facilities so far as worship is concerned, yet not one of the churches has equipment for community activities among young people or to supply the social needs of their elders. In view of these facts, a group of public spirited citizens, men and women, has held three meetings for the purpose of establishing for Negroes a community center where the young and old may engage in the right kind of activities under wholesome environments. Temporary officers elected at the meeting held on last Wednesday evening were Mrs.

Alonzo deG. Smith, chairman; Mrs. Nathalie Stewart, secretary and Thomas Berry, treasurer. On evening, April 9, a permanent organization will be brought into being to launch the project At this time there will be speeches by the pastors of the various churches all of whom are behind the undertaking.
