VALIANT White OFFICERS
Led FIGHTING 54TH"
By THE ROVER

by IHE ROVER
II you have followed American His
tory, you will no longer wonder whv.
after a glorious Colonial militarv
record, the Colored ran had to start
all over again with the Civil War.
The reason for the "intermission"
was slavery. This came after the
revolutionary War in "total" sense.
There We're many "free Colored
people" during the Battle for Liberty
IN 70 but most were in bondage bv
1861. Obviously, guns were kept
from them during this tragic period.
Robert Gould Shaw
President Lincoln's call for volun-
teers started the ball rolling again.
Both sides used colored troops. The
Massachusetts "Fighting Fifty
Fourth" and also the 55th came into
existence under Congressional act of
July, 1861, but for very obvious oppo-
sltIonal reasons, recruiting at Read
VILE, Mass, didn't begin until 1868. It
started with only 27 men coming from
many states, in February, and in
March grew to five companies totaling
Ala men. By April the strength was
doubled and with an overflow that
started the 55th by May the regiment
was was full. This Mass. colored regiment
Monroe Trotter, pere, was an officer
IN the 55th) was commanded by the
brave and immortal Colonel Robert
Gould Shaw. All of the officers of the
54th and 55th were real "white" men,
There was Colonel Shaw; also 1t.
Colonel Norwood P. Hallowell, Major
Edward n. Hallowell and Sr. Capt.
Alfred s. Hartwell. These men
weren't like some white officers who
use their command over colored troops
Just for prestige. These men were
champions.

you marry me?"
Thirty minutes later they came
up the walk to the camp, came into
the living room where a CHEEKY,
warm blaze cracked in the open
fireplace. Mr.. and Mrs. Dumont
turned to look at them with express
sions of concern.
But Stan and Helen had begun to
talk at once. We're engaged" they
said, breathlessly and laughed.
Stan went on: "Now, l know what
you meant, Dad. l mean, when you
said there's one thing that never
changes"
Mr.. Dumont looked from his son
to Helen and twinkle came into his
eyes. "Well, well," he said. $50
you found out, eh?" He turned to
his wife and took her hand. 81 was
afraid, too, son. Afraid if l pro-
posed, it might ruin everything. /,
too, thought that the proper kind of
setting would, well, help my cause
along. But, II those days a man
couldn't select his locale, and after
the day on the Public Gardens
bridge, l realized how foolish I'd
been to think that anything so i'm
portant could be changed by set
ting"
"Oh, it doesn't make the slight
est difference when you're" Helen
broke off, blushing deeply.
Mr.. Dumont smiled. He looked at
her, her hair matted to her fore
head, her lips blue with cold, her
clothes clinging with wetness to her
slim young form. And he looked at
his son, about whose shoes a puddle
of water had formed, and he nodded
understandingly. 81 can see that, ="
he said. Even without my memo
ries of the Public Gardens bridge,
l can believe that proper setting
doesn't make much difference when
you're in love"

Every one of these officers named
became casualties while leading col
ored troops in the thick of the battle.
Such was Massachusetts"
White Sacrifice
The history of the Mass. Fighting
Fifty-fourth" Colored Volunteers, will
for all time stand against any asser-
tions that all white men desire to see
the colored brother oppressed. For
what happened to the white officers of
the 54th?
Colonel Robert Gould Shaw was
buried with his black troops in the
south at Fort Wagner where the
Fifty-fourth put up a tremendous
battle, losing 300 men. Twenty troop
ers were found surrounding their
Colonel and two had fallen across his
body. Every high officer in these regi-
ments suffered casualties; Major Hal
lowell was wounded, and a Junior
officer had to take command. Still on
went the Fighting Fifty-fourth down
to Oloustee, Florida, with the 55th
standing by, where it fought its way
to rescue a trapped Union Brigade!
And the sacrifice, 300 more men,
Major Hallowell shot off his horse and
wounded for the second time; the COM
mand now going over to the former
Senior Capt. Hartwell, who was also
given command over the entire second
brigade including the Mass. colored
Fifty-fifth which gained fame at
South Carolina. And Hartwell became
the fourth white Colonel to go down
leading colored troops! Continually
battling tooth and nail deep in the
south, the Mass. colored militia ex-
pected no quarter and got none. And
the white officers stuck with their
men.

Q From the viewpoint of function
the organ of hearing consists of
two parts:
First, the sound-conducting part.
This consists of the external ear,
the ear drum and middle ear, and
part Of the internal ear. Second,
the sound-perceiving part which
consists of the organ of Corti in
the cochlear bone of the internal
ear where the end fibers of the
auditory nerve are spread out in
a spiral shape so that each one,
like the individual pipes of an
organ, responds to a single note.
Then the auditory nerve and the
sound perceiving areas of the
brain.
The auditory nerve and the
auditory areas of the brain are
almost never involved in a case of
deafness.

Raleigh. Sept. 21.-(AP)-Jobs

Governor Hoey said today.
Heads of al state departments
have been instructed, he said, to m
form persons given jobs to replace
national guardSmen or men darIted
into the army that the jobs would
last only until the original holders
completed their military service.
The state certainly will see that
all of its employees who are called
to military duty get their positions
back" he added
The question arose when Lieut..
Col. William P. Watles. natiOnal sec
rotary of the Reserve Officers Asso-
citation Of the United States. wrote
to the attorney generals office to
determine whether state law protect
ed the jobs of state employees called
into military service.
T. Wade Bruton, assistant attorney
general. replied that there was no
such law in North Carolina, but ad-
ded that the general assembly could
consider such legislation in january.
Fair words please the fool, and
sometimes the wise too
