to go to war right away or so it seems
to the writer. However, young men
swould do we'll to join the National
Guard right now if eligible and physi-
cally fit. The Army tries to make
everybody feel at home at ali times.
That is, if you come from a section
where you are used to certain things,
the Army tries to give them to you.
But, what you Boston and neighboring
youngsters are used to may be differ
ent from what youngsters from Ala
bama are accustomed to every day.
Now, selective service or the draft, So
called, has not time to assign you to
your sectional units so young Smith or
Jones from Massachusetts might find
himself with young Brown fresh from
his hard farm labor in Alabama. Of
course, if given time everybody would
be we'll adjusted. However, in the
meantime it is not very agreeable at
times getting adjusted to the ways of
persons who are used to conditions
different from those in your home city.
Accordingly, a wise young man in
these times, realizing that he may
have to go to war in a year or so or
maybe before that time, does the
smart thing and joins the National
Guard. There he is in company with
his friends, schoolmates, relatives and
persons who know of his capabilities
as demonstrated in civilian life. He
has their respect and affection and has
a chance to go a long way toward a
successful army career. The moral
then is Join the National Guard, Now
Miss Sara COnyers on National
Radio HOOp-up.-Among the many
young persons participating in a
nationwide broadcast dealing with
war, as it affects youth, was Miss
Sara Conyers one of the most active
colOred young women engaged in
social uplift in Boston and vicinity
Miss Conyers has a naturally musical
speaking voice and the broadcast over
Station WBZ on Monday, Oct. 81, at
$3.50 pm. came in as plainly as if this
young woman was in the same room
with you. Various nationalities were
heard on the same program with Miss
COnyers, and while no names were
announced it was easy to recognize
her voice.
Congratulations, Miss Conyers,
Garry on.

COlOred Actors Have Real Parts in
White Show, Kiss the Boys goodbye
Now at the Plymouth Theatre 1t
took the staid City of Boston just one
week to realize that for the first time

Gated comedy was in its midst when
Brock Pemberton's "Kiss the Bows
Goodbye" began to draw critics from
everywhere and customers from all
nearby cities to the Wilbur Theatre

in saw lovely Miss Elizabeth Love run
away with the honors as the sweet

had real speaking parts and really
took their opportunities to make good,
One of these was Morris Mckinney, a
colored star of the first magnitude.
