Atty. Brown drew loud applause, when she said “We are beggart politically. Once in a while lightning strikes and we get a Negro elected; and after we elect Jfim we forget all about him. We don’t expect him to do anything and usually he doesn't. We jnu»t grpw

WAITRESS CONTEST PUTS 'ZIP'IN CELEBRATION
Most of the Local taverns showed
an upswing in business during Na- leeal tavern owners will be
tional Tavern Month, according
_ to
information received by this writer, during a canvass of local bistros Some ot the taverns used special decorations to draw attention to the month-long celebration, and others went even further, and put their girls in special uniforms and pretty hats. It was the old carnival spirit for the friendliest place in town at some of the spots while others ignored the
celebration altogether.
Augmenting the celebration was the Most Popular Tavern Waitresses Contest sponsored by this newspaper and which ended Tuesday. Purpose of the contest was to draw more people to th elocal play spots and to publicize the courteous waitresses who serve you all through the year. It was a spirited contest down to the wire and much interest was shown by readers of this newspaper in helping to select the most popular wait-
ress in town.
Names of Winnahs in this hard fought contest appear on page 1. Prizes will be awarded on Monday at the tavern in which the winning girl works It is hoped that all contestants will be present at the taverns for the ceremonies. Plans are now being made for next year’s contest with more and better top prizes to the winnahs in the first four places. It all depends on the interest shown by readers of The Recorder in Such
contests.
National Tavern Month is catching on here and in another year
coop-
erating 100 percent in order to draw thousands to the neighborhood tavern — The Frindliest
Place in Town.

David Wayne and Paul Muni Co-Star in "The Last Angry Man" at Walker
David Wayne, who stars with Paul Muni in Columbia Pictures’ “The Last Angry Man,” Sunday at the Walker Theater, took the Broadway route to Hollywood. Wayne was playing the role of the exuberant ensign in “Mr. Roberts” when filmland beckoned: he has been a part of the Hollwood scene ever since. Wayne was born in Travers City, Mich., and was educated at Western Michigan College, where in his junior year, he turned in his text books to join the professional Academy Guild in Cleveland. Days he worked as a statistician, while evenings he worked with the group. He joined a Shakespearean repertory company, toured with a marionette show and then braved New York. Wayne’s initial hit show was “The American Way,” in which he played the son of Frederic March and Florence Edridge. World War II found Wayne a volunteer ambulance driver with the British Army. He returned to the U.S. in time to appear in the revival of “The Merry Widow.” His portrayal as the leprechaun in “Finian’s Rainbow” won him his status and he made his first trip to Hollywood for “Adam’s
Rib.”
