The Allied Racial and Minorities
Studies Group has formed a branch
here, with Mr Oliver E. Smith as
executive secretary. The purposes
of the group are to support bona-
fide inter-racial groups, associa­
tions and leagues registered local­
ly or with the Social Science In­
stitute nationally. To expose and
boycott “ Wildcat” or “ Dues Col­
lecting” non-representative organi­
zations.
Vhe national office of this inter­
racial group publishes a pamphlet
monthly on the types of associa­
tions organized, especially to dupe
the Negro, this pamphlet also in­
cludes the names of organizations
and the people connected with
them. There will also be a pam­
phlet issued locally.
The A. R. M. S. G. is a non­
partisan, non-profit organization
and does not deprive its members
of their political belief, and is a
safeguard against unscrupulous
people and their henchmen.

I he Delta Sigma Theta Sorority
Dance is going to be the dance of
the season. This group of civic-
minded young ladies are giving
residents of the community an op­
portunity to dance with a purpose.
Their dance which will be held at
Norse Hall on December 4th is for
the purpose of raising funds to
create a permanent loan fund for
the benefit of young college girls
who need assistance. Their spirit
of generosity has as its basis the
whole-hearted intent of these girls
to see that other members of their
race have an opportunity for train­
ing such as they themselves pos­
sess.
Everyone can help them in their
laudable ambition by attending and
making this affair a financial suc­
cess.
Joe Crane and his Orchestra are
scheduled to play for the dance.

NEW T A LE N T
COMES TO V. B. A .
In keeping with his promise to
bring the best talent possible to
Portland, “ Charlie” Garrett has
done it again at the Voters Benefit
Association. Topping an already
brilliant array of fine entertainers
he has spared no expense in bring­
ing to Portland qqe of the West
Coasts best Pianists, Don Ander­
son. Many people here either know
or have heard of this ivory tickler
and know he is a piano player of
no mean ability. He has been rank­
ed with the best of them, the great
“ Fats” Waller, Teddy
Wilson,
“ Father” Hines and others. As a
piano petter he really has some­
thing on the ball. His first appear­
ance at the Voters Benefit Asso­
ciation will be Saturday night and
we will give odds that after Port­
land hears this former son, there
will be standing room only.
Don’s piano playing ranks second
only to his lovely wife’s singing,
also part of the “ Show” at V. B.
A.
She croons those soft sweet
numbers between the regular Floor
Shows. Just ask “ Sue” to sing your
favorite number and you are do to
hear it as you possibly never heard
it sung before.
Both “ Sue” and Don are here as
the result of a promise by Charlie
Garrett to give Portland a real
Night Club. To those who have not
seen it, take it from me, you are
missing out on something. A Night
Club with an authentic Eastern at­
mosphere and the best to be found
in the Pacific Northwest.
