~SOCIETY CAPERS ~: By MARILYNN HOWARD
Hn

Flint was very concert-minded over the weekend with a
very fine concert given at the FLINT ARTS INSTITUTE. THE
MOTOR CITY SEXTET and ESTELLE ANDREWS present
ed a very fine musical program for a 200 capacity audience.

CORRECTION: When the statement came into the
*~Spokesman office the siaff was too busy to check upon it and
so the statement that CEORIA WICKWARE and DONALD
COATES were married was printed. This week, we would
like to say that we are are sorry for the error, but hope to be
able to announe it in reality some day soon.

THE BLUE STAR GIRLS CLUB gave an introductory
party at the home of Mrs. Izora Shaw on Parkland Street. it
was a grand success with all of the younger set turning out to
make an enjoyable time. Proceeds were turned over for hospital benefits. 5

MiSS PAULINE HARRIS of Boulevard Drive was hostess at a very bdautiful and elaborate birthday party at her
home. Among those guests bringing her lovely gifts and helping Miss Harris to enjoy her natal day were: Miss Odell White,
Mrs. D. Waller, Mrs. Essie Quinn, Mrs. Hattie McCain, Mrs.
Rosa Young, Mrs. Nora Tunderbuck, Mr. and Mrs. A. Howis,
Mr. and Mrs. J. Hamilton, Mr. Wayne Thomas, Mr. Son Wells,
Mr. Thomas Terry, and Mr. Ace Holden.

MILITARY news is still in the making. Our boys are
still making news. JAMES HAMILTON is home on furlough
from South Carolina. Word is received that MARVIN TERRY, better known as LITTLE COUNT is now stationed in
Alaska. J. D. WILLIAMS is on his way ~overseas and the
last word that his parents received he had reached California.
So proud of our brother, JERRY HOWARD. He has been
transferred to Camp Lee in Virignia where he will receive special training for the band and is planning to join the special |
band in Fort Bragg, N.C., soon.

MRS. WiLLIE JOE HALL was honored at a birthday. party given at the home of MR. and MRS. LUCIOUS FLEMINGS on Parkland Street. Everyone present had a fine time
and all wished Mrs. Hall many more happy birthdays.

MR. and MRS. HARDR!ICK CAMPBELL of Gillespie
Street announ~e the coming marriage of their daughter, KATHERINE CAMPBELL to JOHN JANUARY. Not to Eula Mae
Campbell as it was announced last week. So sollee.

After 47 months~ service in the United States Army, JOSEPH N. BURCH II, announces the reopening of his. office for
the general practice of law. Attorney Birch will open his office at 934 Leith Street. It is really fine to welcome this fine
attorney home from the wars and also every other young man
who has come home and established himself successfully.

Everyone looked so pretty in their colorful frocks at. the
Andrews recital Sunday. It could have been called a fashion
show:in itself. ELSIE PRATT, BEATRICE OWENS, RUBY
~ BECK, and RUTH VAN ZANDT, who were usherettes, were
decked very becomingly,in fashionable formals, and the audience also did their part. MRS. AMERICUS ANDERSON,
CHARLEY ELDER of Chicago, ELLA COLEMAN, ELAINE
end JEAN PAYNE, HENDRIS and JOERETHA VAN
ZANDT, MRS. ARTHUR RUFFIN, ELIZABETH MOORE,
JACKIE, NELSON, GWENDOLYN GLOVER and daughter
(dressed~in: the mother and daughter pattern) and so many

others, also RACHEL WRIGHT, GWENCLA SMITH set the

THE CREEPER

Here we are,
beam. Life is really fine if you
drink Roma Wine. Speaking of
wine, this is National Wine
Week. So there you go.

Everyon2 has been laying low
this week. It seems that folks
have gotten afraid of the dear
old Creeper arfd are keeping out
of circulation.

2~ T. has b2en giving JVZ a
very hard way to go. That~s

okay kid, just siti on punching.
~TR is wyied: to get a new

lease on life. His beard is growing and his eyes are beginning
to sag a little. Has FR left her
~mark on her man?

PV seems to have decided to
keep it in the family as she is
seen now only with her brother
in law. Good deal. Don~t let
him get away. ears

WM seems to be visiting his
own haunts. It appears that he
would wise up and keep out of
dangerous -territory.

(CT seems to be in love again.
He was seen taking a very attractive young lady to lunch,
and then also to be walking her
{back to. work. Move in old boy.

The new club, the MHA~s
seems to be alright. Just look
at the members. RH, PH, VA,
EJW, BJG, IV and HVX. We
know that you. fellows~ will
agree. When VA spends all of
her time with one man, it surely must be love. Wortder what
EW thinks about this deal?

I guess JB really showed EB.
what competition is as far as
EM is concerned.

HT and LG seem to really b2
in love or is that what you
could call it.

TB is quite a playboy although
he seems a little hen pecked.
Too bad.

JF couldn~t be out done the
oth2r night and so when his
little -girl double-crossed him,
what did he do, but get another
mother~s daughter,.Good deal
Mr. F. Sure proved that you are
really in there.

MC is s2er with JH. Why.did
she stop and why have they
gone together again? Any information will be kindly appreciated. 7

BJG and QG. are coming on
Strong. We know that they will
get along fine becaus2 lovelight
is in their eyes.

~* Word comes tosthe desk that
SW has competition with VT.
Rumors say that~it is an 1d:

march for the fashion parade. We do take off our hats to
Flint women. They do look well when they.are out, and it!
makes one proud to just sit and look at them.. |

MRS. GUSSIE FREEMAN was honored at a birthday
party last weekend at Nevada Street. Many frends were present to help her celebrate. The group jumpé4d from the party
to the Cootie Williams dance which will long be remembered
by Flintites.

When we listed the mernibers of our college set who were}.

leaving for school, we neglected to mention our own set, right
here at Junior College. They are doing a fine job, and ELIZABETH MOORE is assistant librarian at the school. Among
the.many students who remained right here in their own home
town to do a bit of serious studying were: CORNELIUS OXENDINE, BYNAM JAMES, CHARLES WILLIAMS, CERISA
MiTCHELL, ALMA LONG, CLARENCE HICKS, WARREN
WARDELL, ED URQUHART, CLAYBOURNE MITCHELL;
RUDOLPH SCOTT, WILLIAM JACKSON, GEORGE PUGH,
QUINTAN GARLAND, CHARLES MILLS, MARCUS
WOODSON, and LINDELL BRADY and THEODORE and
H. B. DICKERSON.

From time to time we are told how this column is appreciated. it can only be enjoyable if everyone will send in their
contributions. ~The Spekesman office is open all day long and
open for any contributions. Merely designate which column it
is for. The phone number is 5-3338.

Will be seeing you at the Sportsman Cocktail Party on
Sunday afternoon at the Royal Gardens Club. Clifton Dent
and his Musical Men will be on dctk to furnish the fine music.
Bye now. ~

After all she knows what she

DW and his little girl certainly do make a fine couple together. Keep it up.

Some people say that JS and
AW ar2 being a nice couple but
that JS looks a bit herr-pecked.
Just the.same they are in love
and as long as that is between
the two, nothing else matters.
To r2aders who think that

Say AJT why are you so worried about what goes in the
creeper about LT and ET. You
wouldn~t be putting in yourself?
It was heard that LT said that
she could get HM if she wanted
too; but I think SW has something to~ say about that.

Why is it that MT doesn~t let
PH alone? Can~t he see that
she means no one man no good.

The Golden L2af Club held its

Due to the fact that there was
ar~ elaborate Cocktail party given by one of Flint~s prominent
Clubs, The Just-Us-Bridge-Club,
and although the ladies were
late in coming, which caused
quite a bit of disturbance, the
affair was a tremendous success.
Churchill Harris and his band
furnished the muSic which of
course was excellent with fie
addition of a new sax player.

The American L2gion Club
was jammed to the doors with
merry customers. Here, one is
always welcome and the bavtend is a very genial host. The
club was pack2d this week, due
to the fact that baer was so
plentiful.

NEW JIM CROW BUS CASE
HEADED FOR SUPREME COURT

RICHMOND, Va.~ANP ~Another jim crow bus suit is head2d for the U. S. Supreme court.

Following the ruling of Judge

Willis D. Miller in law and
equity court here Tuesday
against Mrs. Ethel New, who

was ej2cted from a Greyhound
bus im Lynchburg on June 10,
1944, because she refused to take
a rear seat, Mrs. New~s lawyers
indicated they will appeal the
case.

Judg2 Miller~s decision confirmed a previous jury decision
against Mrs. New, a Kentucky
citizen, and is expected to be
upheld by the Virginia Supreme
court,
case will then be appealed to
U. S. Supreme court. Last Jurre,
the U. S. Supreme court differed with the Virginia Supreme

En

which means that the

court in the case of Mrs. Irerte
Morgan, who was fined $10 for
refusing to take a back seat on
a Greyhound bus, and ruled
against racial segregation in interstate bus travel.

Mrs. New~s case differs from
Mrs. Morgan~s on the point of
departure amd ponit of interided
arrival. Mrs. Morgan bought a
ticket from Norfolk to Baftimore. Mrs. New~s ticket indicated~ two points within the state,
although she said it was~ part
of an intended trip to Lynch,
Ky.

Mrs. New suffered a miscarriage on June 18, which she attributes to the struggle to ej2ct
her from the bus. She is suing
the Atlantic Greyhound lines
arid W. N. Smith, Lynchburg
policeman, for $10,000 damages.
