OLYMPIANS THRILL
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE
DURHAM — The Olympian
M^tle quartet with Yxonne Des
Hosiers, supllrano and Ruth
Culbertson, pianist under the
sponsorship of the Demeter
Zachareif Management, Boston,
Mass., thrilled an appreciative
iiadience, Tuesday evening, July
2 in the B. N. Duke auditorium
of North Carolina College. The
singers deserve much praise in
their presentation of numbers
No individual, young or old,
smull or large should fail to take
a'lvil.itage' of every available
opportunity to enjoy this sport
that is beneficial in so many
dlflferent ways. —
It is generally concluded that
there is no form of activity to
day more beneficial to the in
dividual tly-li swimming. Un
surpassed a* « means ki recrea
tion and unequaled as a health
builder, it might be interesting
ta trace the history and develop
ment of bathing from its Infancy
to the present.
Seemingly 'there is no record
cf the earliest conception of
swimming. However, the Greeks
and Romans had' pools long be
fore the Christian Era and
plastically allyreligions organiza
tions throiighout the history of
mankind have hi«d ceremonial
baths.
Briefly, the bji»ths and plunges
of Minos and Crete are supposed
to have b^en built ^ early as
IGOO B. C. arid it is indicated in
various records that baths exist-
ea even during the time of
Ilomer. Deriving their ideas from
Ihc Greeks, the Romans had the
most elaborate Center of bffUi-
ing. With the development of the
aquaduct they were able to
bring an abnnd{int supply of
water from higher levels with
which they filled their pools. One
cf the earlier was the Th(un\a>e
of Agrippa, 21 B. C.; the finest
and best'known being the Ther
mae Caracafla ■206 A. D. and the
largest, Gr^nd Piscina, built by
Descletion in 295 A. D. was 180
X 175 in size and about 3 1-2 in
depth.
The Barbarian.s, in invading
Rome, learned to appreciate the
biith carried the ideas to the re
spective localitTes. The noted
Emperor Charlemagne, was
krown lo be an ardent swimmer
and made his choice of location
because of natur^ springs near
by.
The development and use of
the baths in France and England
was almost on the same level in
all respects but in 1869 the
Am^eur Swimming Association
caused the introduction of a law
allowing the municipalities to es
tablish swimming baths in Eng
land. We note the use of the
by Wagner, Benberg, S. Taylor,
Harris and Mendelssohn. As an
encore, the group sang, “1116
Mosquito.” This number brought
ilround of applause.
Miss Culberston displayed un
usual technique in the execution
.f the well selected piano num
bers.
term baths used through out the
records, which implies that fund-
nmen^illy swimming probaply
springs from the practice of
cleansing the {body and it wa* not
until comparatively recent times
that swimming wa% thouglft of
only in terms of recreation and
af a health producing activity.
It was approximately the mid-
:ie „f the 19th centur]* that
floating baths made their appear
arce in this country. The floating
hJths were large crib like con-
stiuctions, anchored in rirers and
lakes, the water flowing throu^
the openings of the sides of the
wib, and the floor being a cer
tain level below the surface of
the water. The first baths of
tl is type were probably locpJted
in Boston. The “Mot Street Bath”
of N. Y. City was built in 1852
whde Philadelphia and other cit
ies soon developed floating baths.
2?ticams became polluted and so
it wi4 decided by PhilacJelphia
to build .a pool on land. Another
was btfiit in Brooklyn, Mass. at
about the same time.
Naturally, with the rapid de
velopment and improveaient in
pogl construction there followed
a like improvement in pool san4-
tntion until today with modem
methods fiUralion, cWorina-
tion and re circulation, pools are
by j^r the safer places to swina
fro^ a hygiene point of view.
Also the univors,.41 practice by
cities, villages and towns of
dumping refuse, waste and gar-
bagff into rivers and lakes has
created unsanit,ry canditions
highly unfavorable to s\«touining.
From a recreational
swimming is an excellent medium
cf self expression, for the en
joyment of participation is spon-
Icneous and keen, whether in the
youngster paddling in the water
the adult tiking regular exercise
or the performer training for
the race or dive.

BY A. E. WHITE
WASHINGTON. (ANIP) —In
i\n attempt to justify Bari
Brown’s article in “Life on Joe
I.oui*, the current issue of
“Life” flippantly says, ‘To the
Ni'gro press, all things black are
good. Racial papers studiously
itrnore Negro failings, shout
their indignation over real ilnd
ftncied injustice, assail color
discviminntion so hard that they
iK'lp to keep it alive. Last week,
still hoping to be cleared by the
Negro press, Earl Brown knew he
roviTd make a living 1w did'
before he joined the Amsterdam
News in 1936) writing for white
men’s publications.”
This is sufficient to indicate
that neither ‘Time’ > nor ‘Life’
consider the Negro worthy of
more than p.'4ising mention in
just fashion as the article on
liO'iis was written.
They further show little if
any knowledge ot Negroes, their
problems, their ambitions . r
thi'ir dilTiculties and to employ
ft writer who permits himself
the questionable plejslsure of
ridiculing his own i-ace for the
sake of « few dollars illustrates
something little short of con
tempt. And the insinuation ithat
Mr. Brown earned his livelihood
writing for “white men’s publics
tio-n” ly!4ves little for Mr. Brown
to do but depend on those 'Mime
publications instead of a- poor
publication like the Amsterdam.
Rome are inclined to think the
racc is well rid of Mr. Brown
and that when white newspj^pers
loarn the truth of the situation,
they will try to find someone
better informed to furnish such
news as they may wish to have.
That Mr. Brown is a political
power in Hs-L'lem is something
else. That he covered political
aflfairs for the Herald Tribune
is a fact, that he was one of the
1,000 odd newsmen at the Re
public,. 11 National convention is
also a fUct—there were some 20
other Negro newsmen there as
well.
Referring to Mr. Louis, he
never pretended to be anything
other than a prize fighter and
has not expressed himself other-
'Sirise. He has been guilty of con
tributing to severjil worthy en
terprises and institutions like the
YMCA (which never occurred
sufficiently interesting for Mr.
Brown to relate) however, Mr.
Louis is free to spend as he
pleases.
lx)uis’ fise has been* remark
able—as is Always the cj*e
where a man is possessed of an
unusual ability. There have been
white fighters whose rise has
been ^ spectacular. Yet, their
liectcadilloes have been flaunted
before the public—and we bet
there are many peculiar angles
concerning them which would
make them appear clownish dnd
silly and “nor particularly bright
to wit, Mr. Galento of Orange.
The least ‘Time’ and ‘Life’
say ^Vboutt the affairs Brown the
better for them from all angels.
They are making a mountain out
of a niole 'hill. Negroes in gen
eral resent it and they are *tired
of being singled out j^nd having
fun poked at them.
