Says Negro Spirituals Key To Waning Cultural Heritage
Cites Durham’s Dr. M. M. Fisher
As Developer Os Song Research
BALTIMORE. Md lsador Ogle*-
by, Baltimore public school teacher
and concert tenor, addressing the
Dußois Literary Club recently stat
ed that the present generation of
Negroes lacks a basic appreciation
of the cultural history as expressed
in Negro spirituals. Mr. Oglesby,
traced the development of Negro
spirituals from their early genesis
in American history down to the
present gospel songs.
The speaker showed, by compan
ion, the theme of classical music
writers and the spontaneous deve
lopment of the spiritual. He further
showed that a study of spirituals
will reveal many significant as
pects of American history, not found
in tny other recorded medium. An
attempt to divorce the cultural heri
tage from the spiritual would re
present a tragedy to American cul
ture and understanding of the emo
tional problems of a people, was
emphasised by the speaker.

Mllea Mark Fisher, paator of

DEAR SALLY
BY SALLT SBAW
DIBAR SALLT: I’m ft fount wo*
mftn of 23. and In lor* with •
young mftn of 23. The big trouble
ta bis mother. She dislikes me In
tensely, srvd to tell you the truth.
I think she would hate ANT wo
men who threatened to take her
"little boy" away from her. Ours
has been an on-acaln. off-agaln
sort of courtship. We’ve broken
up several times because of hit
mother’s attitude, and now he’s
.even suggesting that we date se
cretly—behind his mother’s book
—because, as he puts It -she’s
an extranely high-strung, nervous
woman," and he doeent’ want to
the formation of s series of coll eg*
recitals and informal discussions otf
the cultural heritage of the Negro
Jeopardise her health. What do
you think about this? SUB.
DEAR SUE: This is ne man,
bat a 23-year-old boy who has
not yet matured enough to cut
thoee apron strings tying him
to mother. Tel] him frankly
that It’s either "open dating,"
"open, above • board court
ship." or nothing. And real
ly, you should have done this
long before now.
DEAR SALLT: My wife and I
are planning to spend a two
weeks vacation with our daughter
and her husband, who have mar
ried Just six months and live in
another city. Now here’s our dell
oate little problem. We know that
our son-in-law has s good posi
tion. with a promising future, but
we also know that they must bud
get their expenses rather closely.
I’m wondering If It would be mil
right for me to suggest paying
part of their food bill while we re
visiting them—or do you think
such a suggestion might offend
him? J.H.
READ J.H.: I don’t think,
for a two-weeks visit. It would
bo wise or taetful to offer to
pay for some of the food. It
WOULD be a nice Idea,
though, to take the young eoo
ple oat to dinner two or three
times while you’re there.
DEAR SALLY: A girl friend of
mine recently borrowed one of my
nicest dresses for s very special
date she had. It was almost two
weeks before she returned It. and
even then I was forced to phone
her about tt. Then, when she fi
nally give me back my drees. I
discovered that it was badly stain
ed with some-kind of food and
the hem was ripped. My parents
were very angry when I told them
about this, told me it served me
right for lending out my clothes,
and they want me to tell off this
girl friend for what she did to my
dress. Do you think I should do
this and. If so. whet should I say?
KAREN.
DEAR KAREN: Them’s not
much point ta telling your
friend off about this now. A
bout all you would aeeomptlth
Is arousing UI-wUL Instead,
consider this a toman, and If
she should ever suggest bor
rowing any clothes tn the fu
ture. tell her psiitety but firm
ly that yun do not Mks to toon
