The Negro population of England
is very small. However, the resi-
dents of smaller English towns
have entertained colored troops in
their homes and have extended va
rious kinds of hospitality, includ-
ing dancing. There have been in
stances where white and colored
American soldiers danced with the
same English girls at parties.
Larger cities, such as London,
have not had as much home en-
tertainment of the soldiers. This
has resulted in soldiers on leave
asking for hot jazz and Negro girls.
In order to alleviate this condi-
ton, dance was held in Northern
England Saturday night at which
rs colored women from the Afri-
can church's mission there were
special guests. The ball was spon-
sored by the u. S. forces special
services branch in cooperation with
British settlement officers.
Music was provided by the Negro
troops own band which has already
received the reputation of being
the hottest on this side of the
Atlantic. Officials hope to organize
a number of other similar dances
in the near future.
