and raised lettuce, corn, peppers
and other delectables for the
table. Truly a remarkable step
forward, we think, in the mat
ter of making camp life more
interesting and worthwhile.
Last nights singing F.. that
was enchanting and worth re-
membering forever as part of
ones way through life. More
than a hundred young voices
lifted gaily' and tunefully, sing
ing Spirituals and camp songs
and rollicking roundelays.
The end of the summer. ses-
sion it was, yet more than half
the children are remaining until
after Labor Day. Many are re-
naming throughout the year,
are taking advantage OF the win
ter school which Miss Crawford
has brought into being. And
this is what we must talk about
now. The winter school
Just as the Lady with Vision
saw the camp come into full
growth, so she will see the
growth of the winter school.
There are fifteen full time stu
dents ready for the classes to
begin. Children who will be
taught regular public school
work up to the eighth grade
plus the additional cultural sub
jects so dear to Miss Crawford's
heart.
For several years now the
school has kept open doors for
the children whose parents for
one reason or other, must leave
them alone for a week, two
weeks or longer. And for all
of these years, the children re-
turn with glad hearts whenever
the occasion permits, to stay a
while longer in the refreshing
atmosphere of the camp school.
This is something so very worth
while, knowing that while one
is i'll, one may know that ones
children are being we'll taken
care of and are not losing a
days work in school.
A resident teacher is always on
hand at Whispering willows
School, and one comes in daily
to assist, so that parents may
feel secure in the knowledge
that competent instructors are
always available.
The weekend idea is growing,
and since last week, there have
been no less than dozen de-
mands for more information as
to prices, to transportation and
to length of time given to chill
dren whose parents wish them
to have these health giving out
door hours. We urge parents
again to get in touch with Whis-
pering willows School and find
out just how wonderful the idea
is.
For those interested in the
winter school, there are still a
few vacancies for those who wish
to send children there. The
main thing to remember is that
Whispering willows Camp-School
will be open all the year round
for service to youth. And those
of you with children can't af-
ford to forget it.

There are those of us who
deal in symbols of what is GO
ing on about u.s.. Those who
can point to parallels without
end, and finally those who Just
"do" and let others "See" the
results. Once more we point
with pride to Miss Josephine
Crawford's far seeing vision
which has become an outstand-
ing example of the fortitude and
strong purpose of one lone wom-
an set down in a busy world, who
has had thoughts and done
deeds galore for our youth.
For those of us who need SYM
bolS, there is, for instance. the
outcome of one of the hobby
groups in Whispering willows
Camp season. AS you know. this
year saw the first session with
the stress laid on children's hob
hies, and one outstanding note
was the dance group. The chill
dren were not urged to join, but
they did. They took their pos
ture lessons seriously and learned
how good posture benefited
health. And how good discipline
OF ones body necessarily made
for good discipline of ones mind
and health. And in the recent
closing exercises of the camp
given just for themselves the
dance group symbolized the en-
tire spirit of the Camp and of
what Miss Crawford is doing.
The girls made their own
dances, created their own steps
learned how to do and what to
do and then did it voluntarily
and with pleasure.
And that is what Miss Craw-
ford is doing. Teaching the
campers what to do, how to do
it and then giving them
the initiative to do it alone.
This year, as for several sea-
sons past, she has had the valu-
able assistance of Miss Frances
Haddock who is well known
hereaboutS from her student
days. Miss Haddock, as head
counsellor, follows through with
Whispering willows tradition
that youth must be served and
served well and Loyalty.
The closing day of the sum
mer camp was a magnificent
show of what youngsters can and
will do. The many hobby clubs
showed their work, and believe
me there was plenty of fine ma
terial on exhibition. There were
crocheted bits, and knitted belts.
beautiful block printed scarfs
worthy of experts; blocked note
paper, rag rugs and all the de-
lightful things that children
love to take home to mother.
And would you believe it that
the most exciting hobby for a
number of the girls was cook
ing! Which bids we'll for the
future generations tummies!
The cooking school girls not only
learned how to cook, but made
all the bread, mullins, rolls, gin
gerbread and cookies that were
eaten by the entire camp during
supper hour.
Another new hobby that de-
lighted many was the garden

In our fight for equality in the

must always bear in mind that
any proposed change in army
or navy practice is bound to en-
counter a thick concrete wall OF
resistance. Indoctrinated with
blind obedience to higher auth
ority all along the line from
academy days to official assign
ment and thereafter, the milf
tary mind functions simply as
a transmission unit to take and
execute orders. Subalterns in
the army and navy are not sup
posed to know anything or
think aloud about anything
about military subjects other
than their routine duties, and
when they reach the top in the
course of promotion the mental
attitude has not undergone any
change. They tread "the same
paths their fathers have trod.
Army and navy leaders who are
able to look ahead and see
new weapons or new methods OF
attack and defense are necess-
arily rare and even they have to
be silent through fear of being
busted as Billy" Mitchell was

tism which dominates military

What is meant by Admiral
Nimitzs statement that colored
men are toe Brilliant for the
navy, is that the navy is able
to draw on the more intelligent
groups of colored men because
prejudice closes to them many
avenues in civilian life, and
they then turn to the navy in
lieu of outside employment. A
wise naval policy, it seems,
would welcome men of admit
tedly superior quality.
