The evening vu eoliUah
and drippy from recent rain
and, definitely, not an in
ducement for leaving the coiy
shelter of home and an eve
ning of Sunday television to
trek across town to see and
hear a junior male chorus
perform. No matter the new
Chinese-red robes nor the
dedication of the supervisors
nor the promise of soulstir
ring gospel in tonf by a num
her of choirs and choruses:
The Junior choir of Union
Baptist Church; the Mt. Cal
vary Choral Ensemble; the
UBC Senior Malt Chorus; the
Glory Bound Gospel Chorus
and, Woods Family Singers.
Nevertheless, you give your
self an injection of that old
homebrewed panacea for the
lewlrfic church goer: 'Til
get up and go to work come
piy morning." So," off
jfcjo, startled by your own
oping the deed will
sOfbdn your nebulous reason
lag. '
The occasion was the cele
bration of the U. B. C. Junior
Male Chorus' 6th Anniver
sary; Theme: "Musical Fes
tival." As the evening progressed,
ate theme took or
lions of a "Musical Extrava
ganza." And the last vestige
of your fatuousness vanish as
you listen to the "Happy Am
I" sugars.
The bow generation has
really put glamour into its
presentations; vivid colors:
mango greens; Chinese led,
Deep Purple; sound effects:
laatHisisiital end the rhyth
mical slapping of hands. The
spirit of the occasions art
overwhelming cachophous
are inspiring joyous!
The Junior Male Chorus
has twenty-one active mem
bers, two advisors, a pianist
and two supervisors.

The Junior Male Chorus
was organized in August,
1965. They were formerly the
Grady. Davis Baseball League
under the direction of VSir
ton Currie. As the Baseball
Season neared its closing,
Mrs. Mary Shaw had an idea
that should keep the young
men together and should, at
the same time, give a place
in the church's worship serv
ices: A Junior Male Chorus.

Mrs Shaw discussed her
newly conceived idea with
the outer. Dr. GraOtfUD.
Davis the idea was readily
received and adopted by the
castor and church.
On the third Sunday in
September 1965, 16 young
men sang "Old Time Reli-
cton" and "Leaning on
Jesus." They were proud and
honored that they had lifted
their voices praising God in
gone of eivine service.
As time passed, naturally,
some of the young men out
erew the Junior Chorus ana
left to join other singing
groups. Some of these young
men wese Essex Fields, Jr.,
Anthony Ttaiberlake, Walter
Kee and Van Clark, JlME
Smooth sailing has not
been the course for the J. M.
C. to follow. Our numbers I
have shifted gradually and
sharply at times from six
teen to five and the interest
of the young men in church
activities was something to
reckon with at time, but Mrs.
Shaw never lost faith in the
fellows; "the boys are tfear
to my heart and my dally in
sniration:" therefore, the
clung to a faithful few and
through unceasing prayer
was able to salvage and estab
lish the present representa
tive group of splendid sing
ers. "God has blessed us to
grow in numbers and in the
spirit of true Christians. God,
Mrs. Shaw explained graci
ously, has enabled . e to
travel to many Places to give
service. We were a part of
the Rev. Linwood Daye's An
niversary celebration at Nor
folk, Virginia. Also, we en
joyed a trip to Fayetteviue,
N. C. where we "were guest
singers on a church program.
Speaking of church programs,
we have appeared on "pro
grams in various churches
around the city."
Mrs. Mary anew, ine uray
with the smiling brown eyes,
nlovs working with young
people and devotes much of
her time and effort in devel
oping a superior male chorus.
She is a member of the Will
ing Workers Missionary
Circle; the Bus s-Sanders
Singers and the Dorcas Class.
Mrs. Myrtle Caaet, a com
paratively newcomers to the'
U. B.C. family, is a fervent
worker and adds her talent
and enthusiasm to that of
Mrs. Shaw and the other
staff members in developing
one of the finest Junior Male

CATTLE SICKNESS
Grass tetany is ill

that the condition is
brought about by an
abnormally low magne

in the blood serum. The
illness can be fatal to
the animal. The most
common treatment is the

The progressive 60's have come and gone
Today, as we find ourselves struggling with the

If MPr(f) maintain the forward thrust of our

Something that represents a greater power base.
Political power? Yes. But it must be based on
(economic power. The power that comes from own

jobs. Being able to spread more wealth where it

to that. But if the evils of slavery couldn't derail

As a symbol, a clenched fist is right on.
But remember, a clenched fist can't talk. Like

Life Begns At 62
By George B. Russ
Miss Madie Perkins had
never seen South Hill in its
proper perspective until she
had left it. She had been
living in South Hilt for the
better part of sixty years but
she had never cared who her
neighbors were: good, bad
or Indifferent; so long as they
mlnajUl their own business
and left her to mind her own.
She had kept to the "straight
and narrow" path to the
Kay pot's, had been bulldozed
out of existence over night
and she had the worst time
of her life bypassing the stuff
in the pathway she had travel
ed4 for umpteens of years;
nevertheless, she had not lift
ed her eyes to examine the
rows of houses being built.
She had heard that a war was
being fought overseas, but she
hadn't allowed the confla
gration to worry her one bit.
She had left the business of
worrying about sugar and shoe
stamps to the Kaypots. And
whenever the Kaypot men
came home on fulrough, they
were always "neat and clean
as her pantry shelves" and
looked as well-fed as Hector,
mister Ben's hound dog, that,
she just couldn't bring herself
to believe that this was the
war to end all wars. Actually,
the nastiest blow she had to
her sanity was the passing of
president Roosevelt. The Kay
pots were Republicans and
itched to see the last of the
Roosevelts, however, when
the news came through that
Franklin Delano Roosevelt had
passed, the Kaypots were as
shook up as any of the poor
whites and Negroes. She
wasn't one to cry easily, but
she couldn't refrain from shed
ding a few tears for the pass
ing of a "God sent man for
the poor people." Three
times, she went to the polls
and cast her vote for him
and was ready to vote him in
again despite all the talk the
Kaypots spread around about
the country heading for a
dictatorship.
Except for the death of
F. D. R she hadn't given
Mot about what else v
happening in the world. She
had to admit that the colored
folk here in Bayborough had
gone from "stink to sugar;"
they bad built beautiful homes
and drove around town In
fine cars. Now that she had
made a jennyass of heradf,
keeping to herself like a bump
kin, she felt awful. The
world around her was beauti
ful and prosperous. The folk
here in the South Hill section
were doing things in grand
style. She hoped to God that
the Kaypots would find time
to visit South Hill and see for
themselves that all colored
people aren't natty, lazy,
dance crazy, shiftless, big liars,
poor-mouthed begging crea
tures born in the world to
make life uncomfortable for
industrous, creative white
people. The Kaypots always
spoke of white people
though they were something
good to eat. Personally, she
couldn't think of one thing
that white folk do, besides
attract money, that other
people don't do. All the folks
she had met, eat, sleep, work,
court and marry or just meet
and stick together like flies
caught on fly-paper. Miss
Madie knew that she was one
of nature's misfits in the
scheme of things but this ab
normality had not disturbed
her once she passed twenty
five. The intricate business
of earning her daily bread;
clothing her body; storing fuel
for the winter to heat the
cold rooms of her abode;
laying by a little cash for a
rainy day; paying her bills
promptly; church going on the
Sunday's she was off duty;
keeping busy on Thursdays,
her day off, doing things she
didn't have time to do be
cause she had to work and
was too tired when she re
turned home at night to do
more than soak her feet and
crawl into bed, had, intruth,
kept her so well disciplined
that all the things that normal
healthy people do doing a life
time had left her untouched.
Sunday was church day and
she spent the tnaping from
one service to another, there
fore, she was too weary when
she returned home to wash
hsr underthings or bang up
he r clothes or return her Sun
day hat 'n hand bag 'n gloves
'n shoes to their respective
places. She had always want
ed to do all the things people
do after work hours: love
and be loved; go places and
aee things - deep down, she
wanted a husband - a
the quarrels, poutings, scraps
and the making ups that come
with having a man around.
Miss Madie 's brown eyes squin
ted as she smiled dreamily up
to the mid-morning sunlight.
Suddenly her dream bubble
was shattered when a male
voice chuckled to dose for
comfort; "WeD! do-daddy do.
You're a sight for th' sore
eyes." Continued.

CUBM ASTER'S DUTIES
8
K. L. Kearney
Not too long ago, I heard
a couple of Cubm asters make
this statement, "our Den Lea
ders are so good, they don't
need us."
It is probably true that
these Cub Packs don't need
the Cubmaaters, especially if
they accept the fact that
simply because they have been
invited out of a weekly Den
Meeting that their jobs have
ended.
The Cubmaster has 12 pri
mary responsibilities in Pack
Management They should be
shared with other leaders, but
the Cubmaster must be re
sponsible for seeing that they
are done.
These management duties
an:
1. With the help of Pack
Leaders, plan the Annual Pack
Program.
2. Hold a Pack Leader's
Meeting each month and run
the Pack Meeting.
3. Recruit a Den Leader
Coach. Be sure the Coach
is trained.
4. Recruit a Webelos Den
Leader. Be sure he is trained.
5. Recruit and train Pack
Leaders as needed.
6. Work closely with the
Pack Committee. (See page
30 in the Cubmaster's Pack-
book).
7. Work closely with the
Pack Treasurer and Secretary
Be sure that ne w boys are
registered promptly and that
den dues are turned In at the
monthly Pack Leaders Meet
ing.
S. Recruit Den Chief for
al Cub Scout Dsns and make
sure they are kept informed
of Den and Pack Programs and
plans.
9. Keep in touch wttn
the den through the Den
ip'der Coach. Help them
with their Cub Scouting Pro
blems.
10. Cooperate with Scout
masters concerning Den Chief
from their troops and on
graduation of your Webelos
Scouts into Boy Scout troops.
Arrange for a meeting of your
Webelos Den Leaders and
Scoutmaster of troops your
boys may join.
11. Keep in touch with
parents. Be sure they under
stand the advancement plan.
12. Maintain cub scouting
policies and procedures.
Did you take this job think
ing you were going to work
directly with boys? Sorry,
you are the guiding hand be
hind the work of many otner
adults who work with boys
You're a recruiter, a trainer,
a supervisor, a director, a
planner and a motivator of
other leaders.
