5 BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Here's to the day we celebrate, The good old Fourth of July We can't disaSsociate 1t from noise No matter how hard we try. Back in the early century days, Carefree girls and boys, Not to forget long suffering parents All resigned themselves to noise Who is there amongst us
 Scene 1908, came the dawn Was not rudely awakened
 By cannon cracker on the lawn This was the favorite gesture
 Of the houses eldest son, And from then on endless activity From the family, every one. Isn't 1t strange, dear readers, You could take it when girls and boys But now you've grown in years and wisdom You hate all that din and noise. But here's to the day we celebrate, Every single American packer! In a trihe quieter way,
 Less accent on the proverbial firecracHer!

372nd On
Parade

NEW YORK, N. Y.-WeIl,
Easter Sunday was a great and
enjoyable DAY in New York
City for the soldiers of the
372nd Infantry. They we're
found almost in every section
of the city as it was a real
Spring Day. We received q
cordial invitation to attend the
Easter Services at the Mother
Zion A,M.E. Church, 18th ST.,
New York City, where we heard
a most inspiring sermon
preached by the Venerable
Bishop w. j. Walls of Chicago,
Illinois who preached one of
his best sermons to the evil
dent enjoyment of all who
heard him. Lieutenants Shell
ton and Lloyd Parker, Adjutant
of the Second Battalion, and
Captain Hoisston, Medical OH
GER, with the Chaplain con-
voyed about one hundred of
our soldiers to the Mother
A.M.E. Church. A great and
enthusiastic crowd packed this
great church to its doors. This
trip to this church will long
be remembered by the soldiers
of the 37pnd Infantry.

ALL STARS TO

The Schemers have accepted
the challenge of the All Stars
to a bowling match. This match
is expected to be held this week
to decide the mythical colored
championship of New England.
Bowling for the Schemers will
be Mason, Barlow, ord, Talbot
and Newton, while the All stars
will have their champions all
set to chalk up another victim
to their list.
The SchemerS' married coup
les tournament also gets under
way this week with Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnny Hill, Mr.. and Mrs. Ches-
ter Simpkins, and Mr.. and Mrs.
HowardF Gray appearing as the
strongest contenders for the list
prize.
Inc SchemefS bowling teams
are as follows:
City Team won "a lost %
Detail team won 20 lost 27
Unit team won 81 lost rs
Primary team won 18 lost SO.
In the race for individual
honors in Group One Mason still
holds edge over Barlow. Lind.
sey has supplemented Hill as
leader in Group Two. Francis
Mccoy looms as the most i'm
proved bowler of the season and
it is doubtful if his competition
in Group Three can prevent him
from running off with top prize.
In Group four Arthur Calvin
has knocked Cuffee out Of 1st
place.
