Life In The Army
d. Sebastian Schiller

In these grave times of uncer-
tainty, many of the Nations youth
are being indicted into the service
for years training.
This is a brief summary of how
they will find life in the Army.
They will arise at 5:45 each
morning except Sundays and holt
days, stand Reveille at a. m,
have breakfast at or about $50
and fall out for duty at or about
7:45 a. m.
The first period of the morning
is given to calesthenics Indoors on
rainy days. which help to improve
the soldier physically. After that
there are classes on subjects most
essential to the soldier. Also drill
ing in marching and other field
maneuvers, such as gas mask
drills, etc. The soldier is dismissed
at 1870 and has dinner at IL noon.
After dinner the soldier rests until
1 p. m. when he again falls out
for duty which usually is similar
to that of the morning.
The soldier is dismissed at or
about 8 80 to prepare for Retreat,
which is usually at 4:30 during the
winter months and p. m. during
the summer months.
After retreat comes suppertime
and after the soldier puts it
away" he then retires to the bar
racks to read a book or magazine
or to write to his best" girl or the
folks at home, or else he goes to
the recreation room where he can
chat or play cards or checkers
with his buddies until time for
lights out" at p. m.
The soldier is dismissed from
duty on Saturdays at 11:30 a. M,
and after dinner he can, unless
post duties require his presence,
| get a pass and spend the day or
the weekend in town.
In conclusion, there is an old
Army saying that all a rookie
new SOLDIER needs to do is keep
his eyes and ears open and his
mouth shut. If he'll do that and
in addition, learn to take it on
the chin, keep his nose clean, his
mind alert, and his neck in, he'll
get along fine in this mans Army

Senator Lodge Cites Disfranchisement
AS Defect In Present System

Washington, d. C.-In state
ment read into the Congressional
Record on January 81, by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. Republic
an from Massachusetts,, in support
of a joint resolution introduced by
him calling for a constitutional
amendment to provide for the po-
pular election of the President and
Vice President of the United
States, Acknowledgement of the
Negro is cited as one of the de-
fects in the present electoral col
lege system.
Citing seven other defects in the
present system, Senator Lodge
concludes with the following state
ment:
1.-THE eighth defect is the ten
dency of the present system to
disfranchise the Negro. Under a
system in which no minority votes
are counted, there is scant incen-
tive to bring out the Negro vote.
Under a system where all minority
votes are counted there is reason
ticipation in government, because,
in government, because even
though a voter is in the minority
in his own state, he may not be
in minority nationally.

A Negro Catholic
Priests Ordained

From Bay st. Louis, Miss,
comes the news of four young
Negroes ending fourteen years of
study with vows of chastity, pow
erty and obedience as part of their
ordination into the priesthood of
the Catholic Church. They came
to st. Augustine Seminary in Bay
st. Louis, the only Catholic Sem
mary for Negroes in the United
States, while almost children, and
plan to go forth to Africa as mis-
sionaries to carry the teaching of
their church to their own people.
These new priests are: Maxine
Williams of Bay st. Louis; George
Wilson of New York City; Richard
Winters of Pleasantville, N. j.;
and Leander Martin of Grand Coo
teau. La.
While w econSider it a laudable
ambition for anyone to become a
missionary and pioneer, we think
that it would also be fine thing
if the Catholic Church would place
some of its Negro priests in par
ishes in the country where they
may become leaders of their own
group here.
rs splendid a field as the for
eign service offers, there is still
much work to be done in this
country to civilize and christianize
the masses of Negroes and whites
of the South, as well as our large
industrial centers. A Negro priest
in New York would do more to
bring members of his race into
the Catholic Church than a dozen
white priests, N. Y. Age.
