tion.
The repertoire of the Utopian
Singers, although varied and exten
sive, consists largely of Negro mu
sic and harmonious songs, which is
rhe heritage of the Negro race,
and only those who ha' e lived these
songs can interpret their natural
beauty.
With this thought as a theme, the
Utopian Singers are endeavoring to
those songs with intense feeling
and understanding so that htose
who do not know the history of the
songs, can feel and relive them du
ring their rendition. The personnel
of the singers is as follows: Jesse
J. Diew, tenor; Arthur Logan, bas
so; John Todd, tenor; James Cook,
baritone; Mrs. Etta Cross well
known music teacher and graduate
of the Chicago Conservatory of Mu
sic. is the accompanist.

of the Park board, has raised funds
sufficient to assure a seven weeks’
series of free symphony and band
concerts every night in Grant park

said that $28,000 was raised and
that weekly concerts will be given
by the Chicago Symphony orchestra
under Frederick Stock and Eric De
Lamarster; the Women’s Sympho
ny, Ebba Sundstrom, conductor,
and the Civic Opera orchestra, with
Gennaro Papi. From five to eight
concerts each will be given by these
symphonies and the following

Says Parents Should Let
' Boys Have More Recreation
- «-—
Nathaniel Harrington, Sociology
student and renresentative of Jo
seph D. Bryant, superintendant of
the Colored Big Brothers work of
Chicago, was present in the second
of a series of inspirational talks at
Ebenezer Baptist Church, 45th St.,
at Vincennes avenue, Sunday, June
9th. Hr. .1. H. Smith, pastor.
“The Big Brother's work as car
ried on by Mr. Bryan, for the last
nine years has concentrated atten
tion upon the enormous rate of de
linquency among boys in Chicago
Boys Court" the speaker declared.
The Big Brothers committee re
port gave the following statistics:
May Totals
Total boys recorded .84
Boys Court Active .Supervi
sion cases .470
Corrective Institution and
St. Charles School .161
Pre-delinquent seeking
guidance .811
Pre-delinquent seeking
School Adjustments .21
Active Supervision
Violators . 2
Closed Supervision
Violators . S
The speaker asserted that many
Negro parents in Chicago have
created bad home enviroments, for
the most part they have refused to
send their children to different re
creational enters, but gladly allow
them to tramp down the Boule
vards filthy and destructive to the
upkeep and appearance of the Com
munity. They will praise God all
day Sunday and look through filthy
apartment windows with no shades
or curtains to create the privacy
and beauty of home life. The speak
er also asserted that our boys are
maladjusted members of society;
and is a product of bad enviroment
and poor inheritance over which
they obvious have no control.
The Big Brothers should rein
state them, adjust them to the city
culture and help them to be useful
citizens rather than have them feel
as outcasts. The emphasis is being
tiansferred from the crime to the
criminal.” declared Mr. Harring
ton. He also urged that the Chica
go boys should get more real know
ledge into their heads rather than
filling dimes in their pockets. Dr.
Smith is having the speaker back
at an early date. W. A. Wilkin a
philanthropic white gentleman and
successful kitchenette operator of
the South side, has financed Har
rington in his Sociology studies. He
also has a number of boys and girls

Hall Branch Library
48th St. & Michigan Ave#
Not a day passes but that our
attention is directed to some maga
zine or newspaper article about
Ethiopia (Abyssinia). A new book
just received at Hall Branch about
this country whose empire lists its
kings from Ori, of 4478 B. C., to
1930, is Max Gruhl’s “The citadel
Haile Selassie the First of A. D.
of Ethiopia.” This is a book for the
general reader, though incidentally
it contains much important anthro
pological and geographical infor
mation of value to the scientist.
The book is written in the form
of a diary telling the perils and
escapes of the author and his small
parts of the country. The author
party in some of the least known
viewed this country and its peoples,
not from an express train or motor
car but by means of the ancient,
leisurely, and time-honoured man
ner of travel in Africa . . the cara
van. The purpose of Mr. Gruhl’s
expedition into little known Africa
was to follow up the trial of the
original Hamites whom it was
taught had come from across the
Straits of Bab-Al-Mandeb and had
settled in the highlands of Ethiopia.
From thence they had greadually
pushed northwards, developing an
Ethiopian civilization on frontiers
of Egypt, and even for a time-712
663 B. C., ruling over the New
Kingdom in Egypt.” Many attrac
tive photographs illustrate the
book.

Mayor Kelly Launches a
Plan to Spread Facts
About Better Housing
Marshalling 1,000 trained men and women to acquaint
every Chicago property owner with the latest provisions of
the National Housing Act, the newly formed Chicago Asso
ciation of Better Housing Committees, under the leadership
of Mayor Edward J. Kelly, launched an intensive community
service campaign this week.
Commenting upon this informa
tive service program, Mayor said:
“The foundation of our whole
community life is the home. All
that we seek to better in Chicago
flows from that soui^e. This well
trained force of men and women
will contact every property owner1'
"in- onr-oityr (pot inifBftii’ tfte iwwvJ
pose of showing benefits of single I
family dwellings, but multiply
properties as well.”
Stressing the fact that this pro
dwellings, industrial and ineome
ject is one of the best means for
enlisting city-wide support in the
effort to create employment and
release private credit and initiative,
Mayor Kelly added: '
Seek Payroll Increase
“Anything that will increase
payrolls, add confidence to o u r
business and industrial concerns,
and at the same time materially in
crease the comforts of every home
in Chicago is certain to enlist the
unselfish support of every citizen.”
Recent amendments to the Na
tional Housing Act pertaining to
Title 1, which is the repair and
modernization title, will greatly en
hance this educational program.
The most important change in Title
1 refers to the increase of credit in
insured loans from $100 to $50,000
instead of $100 to $2,000, opening a
wide field to apartments, hospitals,
orphanages, etc. to qualify.
The Act also has been amended
to take care of FHA insured loans
on equipment and machinery.
In line with the nation-wide acti
vities to bring a wider appreciation
of the benefits of the Federal Hous
ing program, Mayor Kelly issured
the following proclamation for Chi
cago Better Housing Day, Satur
day, June 15, 1935:

Now therefore, I, Edward J,
Kelly, Mayor of Chicago, do
set aside and appoint Saturday,
the 15th dav of June, 1935, to
be known as CHICAGO BET
TER HOUSING DAY, and I
urge upon all mothers and
fathers, all business, education
al, professional and civic lead
ers an appropriate observance,
marking this day that the ben
efits of this program may be
brought to a still greoter num
ber of people; that every boy
and girl in Chicago may have
an added appreciation of their
future in this great city, and
that we may meet the challenge
challenge to our resources—hu
man, natural and scientific—in
retaining Chicago's leadership
as a city of increasing improve
ment.
Tonight a new series of broad
casts from Chicago’s traffic court
is being started. As you listen to
these actual cases, I hope you will
get one thought, namely, “What
and promotion of this group of
schools! and to interpret the events,
social forces, and the attitudes of
individuals and organizations that
have affected these schools and
have, thereforce, determined the
character of the opportunities for
higher education available for Ne
gro youth today in segregated in
stitutions of higher learing.” Un
der recommendations the author
suggests remedies to correct certain
defects seriously affecting the effi
ciency of the colleges of the group
studied. He says, “The most ob
vious of these defects may be cor
rected within a reasonable time if
they are squarely faced and if the
necessary remedies are applied.”
Another enlightening book you
will want to know about is George
W. Lee’s, “Beale St.” It is the
saga of Beale St., Memphis, Ten
nessee, where the blues began. “But
Beale Street is not simply, or even
primarily, a book about "blues” or
even about Negro music.” This
story of one of the most famous
streets in the world, is the story of
the urban Negro's progress. Mr.
Lee is a resident of Memphis, and
knows where of he writes. He relate
with alternating factual serious
ness, the story of the Negro's rise
in the two worlds which characte
rize colored Memphis, as they cha
racterize any large mass white or
colored, the business world above
ground and the underworld of vice.
A revealing narrative about the
people, institutions, customs and
enviroment of this colorful street
in Memphis.
