As
far
as
Portia
White
knows,
she
is
the
only
singer
whose
expenses
as
a
budding
concert
artist
are
financed
by
a
provincial
and
city
trust
fund.
Portia,
a
rising
young
Negro
Nova
Scotian
contralto,
who
will
make
her
first
American
torn
this
fall,
says
her
living
expenses
at
present
are
largely
underwritten
by
a
trust
fund
created
by
the
province
of
Nova
Scotia
and
the
city
of
Ifallfax,
and
administered
by
a
board

members
Include

Expenses
are
heavy
for
a
young
artist
whose
fees
are
not
high,
whose
appearances
are
relatively
scattered
and
who
must
furnish
her
own
accompanist
and
pay
his
travelling
expenses
as
well
as
her
own.
The
city
fathers
help
out,
even
to
the
extent
of
a
glamorous
white
fox
cape
to
take
the
place
of
the
plain
wrap
i'she
wore
backstage
at
her
first
.concerts.
Portia's
black
eyes
grow
starry
when
she
speaks
of
that
whits
fox
cape.
Daughters
of
preachers
with
13
children
aren't
born
to
luxuries
like
that.
Portia's
father
Rev.
W.
A.
White,
was
serving
a
chaplain
in
the
First
Great
War
Europe
when
she
was
born
and
he
died
when
she
was
19.
But
between
those
years
he
reared
a
family
which
burst
into
song
ar
the
sllghest
provocation
and
formed
the
whole
choir
in
his
church.
Schoolteacher
at
17
By
the
time
Portia
was
17,
her
rich
powerful
contralto
was
pretty
well
known
in
the
city.
That
was
the
year
she
went
to
teach
in
the
country
school
for
$300
a
year,
and
on
week-endj
slogged
three
miles
on
foot
through
knee-high
Nova
Scotia
snow
to
catch
a
train
for
a
music
lesson
in
town.
"Sometimes
I
used
to
wonder
why
I
did
it,"
she
says.
''Then
happened
to
win
a
silver
cup
at
the
Nova
Scotia
Competitive
Musical
Festival.
And
the
Halifax
Ladies'
Musical
Club
gave
me
a
scholarship
to
the
Halifax
Conservat6ry
of
Music.
That
gave
me
a
boost.
I
"Then
In
1941
Miss
Edith
Read.
I
telephoned,
asking
me
to
sirrg
for
her,
and
then
arranged
a
concert
for
me
in
Toronto.
It
wa
a
success
and
I
got
other
concert
offers
right
away.
I
turned
righ.
around
and
wired
my
resignation
to
that
school."
Later
Miss
Read,
principal
oi
Branksome
Hall,
arranged
Ln
Portia
to
sing
for
Edward
Johnson,
impressario
of
the
Metro
politan
Opera
House.
In
March
of
this
year
Portia
made
hei
New
York
debut
In
Town
Hall.
Critics
gave
warm
praise
to
her
voice
and
Portia
subsequently
appeared
In
the
national
Negro
festival
at
St.
Louis,
Detroit
ann
Chicago.
Bhe
is
now
planning
her
first
tour
under
concert
management.
It
Includes
appearances
in
New
York,
St.
Louis,
other
western
U.
S.
cities,
Toronto,
Winnipeg,
Peterborough
and
London,
