Supply division, this plant will be
one Of the outstanding examples
of what has been accomplished
through the cooperation of plant
owners, managers and workers.
Already there are two cafeterias
operated by the plant, in which 33
Of the rs employees are Negroes
Another cafeteria is tc be opened
which will have an entire Negro
crew Of cooks.
The workers in the pans are
rot 1aborers, but are employed as
machinist, with 35 operating an
healing, acid dip and other ma
chimes
Five of the Negro workers are
employed in the ballastics depart
nent; two colcred girls in the first
aid rooms and three colored girls
in the examining physicians Of
flee. One of the latter is a recep-
zionist.
There is no segregation nor dis
elimination in the plant in any
manner. In fact, the Negroes are
being integrated as fast as they
are employed. Denver will be a
boom town for the 1000 Negroes
there if the Remington people con-
tinue building in this area.

ARE NEGRO TROOPS CATTLE?

MONTEREY, Calif.-(A N P)-
The sites of two USO recreation
centers here have been approved by
Washington authorities, it was
announced, one for white soldiers
overlooking Ell Estero, and one for
Negroes, located east of Southern
Pacific stock corral. Much conjec-
ture is going the rounds as to
whether the site chosen for Negroes
is another act of discrimination.
The question, bluntly stated by
some, is Are Negro troops also
cattle?"

IT CAN BE Done!

The disastrous fire at Mound
Bayou a few weeks ago has caused
quite bit Of varied sentiment re-
garding the future ~ ound Bayou.
The critical. locally and otherwise
have said I'M 0 n d Bayou will
never come back" the town is
gone. "nO more Mound Bayou
and scores of other utterly ABSURD
predictions.
The citizens of Mound Bayou
must not be mis-led by these I'M
official predictions. We must re-
member that the original Mound
Ba} GU was created from a dense
wilderness, beset with hundreds of
unseen Dangers. The rebuilding of
our fire-ridden landmarks is COM
raratively easy when we consider
the circumstances that surrounded
our town in it's making. We have
no trees to heW down, no thicket
or brambleS to clear away, no
murderous beasts to combat, we
have but to resolve to stand by
those whose losses were greater
than ours; help them clear away
the ashes and charred debris and
erect buildings of even greater
prop rtions than those that were
destroyed. 1t is not necessary that
we go nto our pockets and pay
for these buildings ourselves, they
have not asked us to do that, but
let's encourage them by telling
them how sadly they are missed
and pledge them our whole-hearted
support in rebuild ng their shatter-
ed business regulations and estab-
lishments. We can help them by
curtailing the ugly rumors and
sentiments t h Mound Bayou
can not come back, 1T CAN AND
1T MUST BE REBUILT! The
fact is that Mound Bayou is not
destroyed, it is true that we lost
two or three buildings that were
definite assets to our Wn, but
the same spirit and determination
upon which they were built still
exists at M o u n d Bayou the
Mound Bayou that was carved
from the hearts of our pioneers
and forepareuts still stands and
shall ever stand to commemorate
their lives.
The same resolute hearts and
minds that were evident when
Mound Bayou was carved from a
dense forest are still in evident to-
day, we cannot and must not be
any less resolute and determined

and progress, h n were those

The Roosevelt-Churchill Meeting

Inc 1OOSeVoiC-SnuTC1LllI WeeClnS
By the time this letter appears in
print we shall probably know more
about what took place at the his
toric conference that was held on
the high seas between President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill. The declaration of OBJ
jectives, announced in the joint
statement, is laudable and will
meet the appreciation of all who
are weary Of war and wish to see
a better world order established.
However, what is worrying Con-
gress in connection with the meet
ing Is just what commitments, If
any, Mr.. Roosevelt has entered in
to. Has he agreed to back Eng
land even to the extent Of our go
ing to war? Has he promised the
British government that we will
oppose all efforts toward peace un-
til Germany has been crushed?
Upon his return to Washington the
President should make a complete
report to the American people and
Congress Of everything that trans
pired that in any way affects the
future Of this country.

just before the school was to
launch their tremendous drive to-
ward boosting the sports program

nasium. The state physical
education setup was demanding
more and more. . And the gov
eminent was sticking it's hand in
to the setup. They don't let
kids on their own as much now as
they once did. And the whole
thing happened in the last ten
years.
