forward of the Champion Ramblers,
VIII play with Lou Montgomery's
newly organized bunch of star basket
ballers. 1t wouldn't surprise this cor
ner one bit if "Ike" will take two of
his stars to tryout for this new team.
Edltorially Speaking by r. c. S.
Monday, Nov. II, Familiarity known
universally to all as "Armistice Day."
When we as Americans shall give a
minute of silence to those who gave
up their lives to preserve Democracy.
we must think of those colored soldiers
who very heroically fought so that we
may live in peace and freedom. In
TACT, there are men in this community
who were enlisted in our famed old
Co. L. which very nobly carried them
selves IN the World War of 1917. In
fact the 369th Regiment of New York
were cited for bravery by the French
Government with the Croix De Guerre
and the Golden Palm medals. 1t may
be interesting to note that in all the
wars of America, the colored soldier
showed himself loyal and courageous
regardless of the fact that he was
treated unfairly during peace time.
Yes, they fought unitedly then so that
future generations could benefit. So,
on Nov II let's all doff our hats and
with bowed heads pray in silence for
those who have gone on before so that
we may reign in peace, res.
