COLORFUL HISTORY

The 369th's band has a colorful
and interesting history which dates
back to the days of World War
1. At that time the Harlem regi-
ment was the 18th New York in
fantry and the leader of it's band
was the famous James Reece
Europe,-known to the jazz world
as one of the greatest musicians
OF the time
When the 18th infantry went
across, Europe, assisted by Noble
Sissle, directed the band. When
the band started playing conven-
tional American marches the SOL
diers were left dazed and stupe-
fled. What they heard were
marches in swing time James
Europe and his boys had interpo-
lated convention marches in swine
version.
Upon returning to the United
States Europe became engaged in
a fight and was fatally wounded.
Before he died he said to Sissle,
who was at his beside:
Garry on as l have outlined.
And that is the tradition which
the 369th band is today following.
In later years Sissle Quit to form
his own band The 369th band,
however, remained intact, but it
wasn't until 1886 Mr.. Wooding be-
came bandmaster that it once
again started its upward climb.

JOSEPH P. KENNEDY'S speech
on January 18 was extremely in
deslSlve: those who were in favor
of President RooSevelt's lend-lease
bill for aid to Britain before Ken
nedy spoke, would still be in favor
OF the Presidents plan after lis
tening to Kennedy. And also, any
who were opposed to Roosevelt be-
fore KennedyS speech, must have
found almost nothing to- move them
toward change.
But the great pity of it is, that
confused mindds remain confused,
following Kennedy. He spent too
much time talking about the in
evitable; namely, the epithets
which we are bound to tag each
other by,-"appeasers,' defeat
ists.'' "war-mongers," fifth COL
umnistS, and so on. All of those
names are called because all of
those characters do exist among
us,-and sometimes the epithet is
bound to be wrongly applied.
But as long as there are danger
ous and deadly traitors among us,
we cannit wisely refrain from try
ing to ponit them out just because
a few mistakes will be made. How
our fifth colum would like for us
to become so afraid of making one
mistake that we would forever re-
9ain from mentioning our
traitors!
MUST ACT FAST
We are going to make plenty OF
mistakes in these times, but if we
have any sense, we are going to
act fast and forcefully in spite
of mistakes. We are not going to
sit on a fence, looking first this
way, then that way, or to try to
drive in two opposite directions at
once, as does Kennedy in this
speech.
What is the sense of his telling
us that we must prepare to defend

WASHINGTON, D. CLAMP
According to Miss Beard of the
National Red Cross here in Wash
ington, the army needs nurses, COL
ored as well as white, and in an
effort to build up the reserve to
point where it would be as effici-
ent as the Red Cross would have
it, there is at present an urgent
need for at least 500 enrolled col
ored nurses.
Especially in the time of the in
creasing numbers of army hos
pitals being built is there a neeo
for these nurses who are being
absorbed SO fast as to almost de-
plete the reserve rolls.
Nurses are eligible only if they
