robinson maclern in toronto telegram then lawyer pitt told me the facts as closely as he could deter mine of the status of the negro in canada there are from twenty three to twentysix thousand ne groes in canada he believes but tt s hard to say because count ten ana youve missed four there are four or five thousand in toronto he said four or five hundred of these are employed by the railroads they make the best money they average between a hundred and a hundred and fifteen a month but altogether only about 25 per cent are employ ed there is no work for the boys that are growing up to manhood the railroads wont take them now no one will hire them the hotels and the dining cars are closed to them the governments wont even hire them to sweep the streets there is nothing ahead of them but a few hours spare work in pool halls or bowling alleys or barbel- shops and the girls nothing now theres hardly n one getting twontyfive a month and dozens trying that is domestic service you speak of what else said lawyer pitt and his voice was soft and sad is there for a poor lil colored girl how many professional men are there in canada about 23 i guess l said ana smiled ruefully counting those that are partly negro and donr want to be and those that want to be and cant about 25 then this is your real problem and condemning father divine and green pastures is just a little step toward another end i suggested yes said lawyer pitt all wc want people to know is that wc arent fooled by father divine and that green pastures can bo a beautiful thing but is a dangerous thing its like the bible you can take parts of it and twist them out of meaning to me and i saw green pastures three times it was beau tiful so long as i understood that it was merely an artists representa tion of the concrete conception of god former in the uneducated mind of a child or an old preacher in the deep south it is if you lie a phase in our progress toward understanding of theology but too often there is the danger tiiat those who see it may misunderstand think that all ne groes believed that god and heaven are as shown in that picture that is the danger i personally dont condemn green pastures any more than i would condemn a sword a swore can be a beautiful thing when it is skilfully made but it can also ue dangerous depending on the hands into which it falls thats what green pastures is like youth ashamed but there is another tiling said mr wadham leaning over have you ever thought of it ibis way a little negro boy goes to see green pastures his parents have no voice in the censorship to keep the picture from him he sees this pic ture and sees in it a childish con ception of heaven a conception that he feels is wrong but cant quite explain when he conies out of the pic ture he is hot with shame the worst kind of shame shame for his own people whom he feels have been held up to ridicule and whom he has no way of defending if we negro peoples had some great ac complishments to which could point pridefully we wouldnt mind so much we could say but green pastures is only a part of our life we have also accomplished this and this and this we cant ana that makes the little boy feel so ter ribly ashamed for his own people beauty contestants find be ing a belle isnt all cakes and ale atlantic city nj life at the miss america 1930 beauty and talent pageant is a
