A VANISHING LAND MARK:
Workmen this week tore down that
old shed in the building where
used to be Proctor's Cafe. While
it was being taken down, saw a
lot of old time Parish Streeters
watching as though suffering from
heart sickness.
ACCORDING TO MY INFOR-
NATION, A petition is being cir
culased to get the Colored soldiers
of the Jackson Air Base the privi-
legesof all parts of the old avenue
again. Pending action on the Pc
tition which by all means should
be facorable, here's some advice to
the boys from Mr.. George Schuy-
Ter, noted columnist, which we give
here because of it's sound wisdom
and good sense.
Negro Soldiers should promptly
curb all desire to settle themselves
interracial problems. There are
plenty of Negro newsps pers, or
CARNATIONS and spokesman, white
and colored, TO do the job, and
they are doing it. Rowdyism and
rfoting play directly into the
hands of our enemies and hamper
the efforts of our friends. Negro
soldiers should remain disciplined,
AVOID conflicts and do as they ars
told. This is often hard but 1t is
best. An intelligent factual letter
to any Negro newspaper Of the
NAACP will bring far better re-
suits than any rioting.
