GREFNVILLE, s. CLAMP
Greenville's only ArmiStice day
parade was the colored paraoe.
Headed by their regimental bano
over 500 fully equipped members Of
the famed 18th Coast artillery,
anti-aircraft parade through the
downtown streets. There appear
ance received with mingled emo
tions by both races.
This was the first time that
Greenvilians have been treated to
a view of the new army on parade
and one of the few times in his
tory that this bustling South Caro-
lima city has ever seen fully armed
colored soldiers passing in review
The parade was the elimination of
an Arnistice day celebration spon-
sored by the local colored veterans,
not an American legion post since
Negroes are not allowed to join the
American legion in South Caro-
lima.
Over 600 soldiers of the 76th are
stationed in or near the Green
vile air base preparing for the
forthcoming Carolina maneuvers.
Equipped with the very latest III
snti-aircraft guns. searchlightS
machine guns, ETC., this contingent
is just a part of the 1000 colored
troops doing similar duties in the
two Carolinas in the mimic war;
fare between the Reds and Blues.
Around the Greenville airport
miles of telephone wires have been
strung to the various batteries of
the 18th. Past masters in the art of
camoutlage, these youngsters have
done fine job in not only con-
cealing their big guns but their
camp as we'll. One clump of Caro-
lima pines, hardly large enough to
conceal a jack rabbit, hides half
dozen trucks, a field kitchen, 20 or
more pup tents and the truck for
communication to the various bat

DOWN on last weeks news:
Police in New Orleans were
puzzled as to the origin of IA
sticks of dynamite found by
WPA workers while renOvating
the basement of an old theater.
Our only clue is that they might
have been forgotten by a strong
minded individual who had as
pirations of elevating the stage.
And while on the subject, we
noticed that Der Fuehrer'S an
nual beer hall party held the
other day celebrating the first
putsch was minus the erstwhle
highlight of the afair-no time
bomb explosion.
A news item from Washing
ton told that rising costs may
force manufacturers to adulter-
ate some Of the nations home
necessities. Which means that
soon they'll be making the stuff
hardly fit to drink.
Radio technicians handling
football broadcasts from Brook
lyn's Ebbets field discovered that
the toudest feminine roofing
came from the bleachers. And
we always thought that the red
heads had the blondes beat for
noise.
Did you ever null over the
question of why the red-headed
gals always seem to marry the
mild and meek Casper Milque-
toasts? The truth is, they don't.
It's case of cause and effect.
One of the italian editors, who
issued the ban on women wear
ing trousers, last week attempt
ed to ridicule the idea of women
wearing shorts by asking what
they were. A reasonable answer
would be-too tight.
