Wolf Describes Life Abroa|
HUGE American Transport
BY TOM WOLF
NEA Service Staff Correspondent


ABOARD u. S. TROOPSHIP,
Cen route to British Isles).-A
blurred purple streak horizon
and it looks like heaven to the
sea-weary landlubbers in khaki
aboard this troopship. The SOON
er these men feel the good earth
of the British Isles under their
G. l shoes, the better they'll like
it.
This ship is a former luxury
liner, but there's nothing deluxe
about it, wartime accomoda-
tons. Officers and noncOms
rate staterooms, every available
inch of which accommodates
hunks. The men are quartered
where paying passengers never
slept - in multi-tiered hunks
built into former saloons, in
hammocks suspended from CELL
ings of sections that once carried
cargo.
It's a tight squeeze if you
sleep in a way-upper. You have
to wait to pull yourself together
mornings until the men below
clear out of the narrow aisles.
Dressing is unnecessary, since
orders require sleeping fully
clothed with lifebelts and gloves
ito prevent rope burns when
abandoning ship at all times.
Many IF the men were seasick.
Even a veteran sailor may be
upset on a North Atlantic winter
crossing. The ship lists with
every zig and gag, and there's
the additional queazy, nervous
strain of a wartime crossing.
A tough sergeant, green
gilled, summed up the feelings
of many when he grimly an
nounced, I'm never coming
home if it means recrossing the
Atlantic"
CONVOY DINING
Mess is the toughest problem
on shipboard. The kitchens and
saloons originally built to serve
hundreds now must accommo-
date thousands. The men line up
for mess in queues, shaking end
lessly back through companion
ways. To accommodate them,
long benches replace the normal
ship tables, which are set, with
the food dished out, before the
men enter. The cold meal that
results is a gourmet's paradise.
BY and large there's little
trouble aboard, though normal
routines of ct o n-cleaning,
guard duties, inspections and
safety drills take up time. Smok-
ing is prohibited, except on
decks and in the recreation
/ room.

aboard this ship at least half the
men are sure" of its destination
(though even the Commodore Of
the convoy does not know the
actual port before nearing land) :.
What with close quarters,
rough seas, disquieting rumors
and potentially close subma-
rines, a wartime troopship
crossing is not what you'd choose
for rest cure. So it's small won
der that sighting land causes
high excitement, that bedding

can't wait to get ashore, and
they need not wait long. Ashore

GERS and men have been woxk-
ing days on details of the con-
voy's debarkation.

Dental Care
Given Pre-School
Children

The new program which is be-
ginning in the colored public
schools is to insure better health
of the children and greater pupil
progress.
The child who is to enter school
for the first time should have thor
ough examination by a physician
and by dentist during this sum-
mer before the opening of school.
The purpose of the examination is
to check the health of the child
and to insure the best physical
condition when he begins school.
Any defects that are found should
be remedied during this summer.
It is common knowledge that
very often when a child does not
succeed in the first year of school
it is because of absence from
school or because of some physical
oeftct which might have been rem
edied.
Every parent may well ask him
self these questions:
Has my child a dental certificate?
Are his teeth sound and well
kept?
Have the needed corrections been
made?
The Health Department has set
up a program to help parents to
answer-yes-to all these questions
Beginning Monday morning at
the Lanier High Scool building, the
Dental Hygienist will examine and
clean the teeth of all pre-school
| children who are to enter school
| next fall.
The following schedule will be
followed:
At the Lanier High School build
ing from Monday through Satur-
day, July 1917, 1943, from 900 a.
m. to 2:30 p. m. daily.
At the Sallie Reynolds school
building from Monday through
/
Saturday, July 1924, 1943, from
: 900 a. m. to 2:30 p. m. daily.
AT the Mary Jones school build
ing from Monday through Satur-
day, July 1851, 1943 from 900 a
m. to 2:30 p. m. daily.
The parents of all children who
are to enter the first grade this
Fall should take their children te
the nearest school during the time
! scheduled above.

Colored Soldiers
At Shelby All
Out For Sports

From Public Relations Office
Colored troops at Camp Shelby
now have an growing sports
program, and behind it is a Negro
football and baseball star in his
college days and board of Off
GERS who are squarely behind the
recreation and moraIe-building
which an organized athletic slate
can bring to the soldiers.
The program began back in Feb
ruary shortly after Corporal Will
liam Morton, All-New Orleans col
ored cage and grid player and 1885
Negro All-American as picked by
sports writers and the Pittsburg
Courier, heard that the job as di-
rector of Negro athletics on the
Post was open. He applied, got
the job and went to work.
Acting in an advisory capacity
was the board, consisting of Cap
tain Douglas c.. Macarthur, Post
Athletic officer, and Chaplains Ca
to H. Pierson and Isaac H. McDon-
aid of Station Complement.
The program started with bas-
ketball tournament, Supply De-
tachment No. the winner. Then
came the boxing show at the field
house, and after that something
new-an outing or field day, held
last Sunday afternoon. On this
last, the weatherman played a dirty
trick, for only one of the scheduled
events, baseball game, was run
eff before the rain drowned out
the rest of the activities etc.
The latest piece of work is the base
ball league which opened its sea-
son Sunday.
Plans for the future call for more
and bigger boxing shows, according
to Cpl Morton, a spossible post
football team and other sports, ac-
cording to seasons.
A special recreation area is now
under construction near the ware
houses. Its tennis courts, basket
ball and volley ball arenas have al
ready seen play. Most recent work
of Cpl. Morton and the Board has
been a survey of all colored unit
dayrooms wit han eye to determin-
ing just what equipment is needed.

Land Bank To

Land Bank Commissioner loans
will continue to be available to far
merS for another 2-year period as
a result of bill passed by Cong
ress and signed by President Roose-
welt June %, according to an
nouncement by Roy L. Thompson,
President of the Federal Land Bank
of New Orleans. The law created
the Federal Farm Mortgage Corpo-
ration for the purpose of making
Commissioner first and second NOR
tgage loans to farmers would have
expired June 30, 1943. The action
taken now extends the making of
this type of loans until July /.
1915.
Commissioner loans were author
lied under the Emergency Farm
Mortgage Act of 1888 primarily for
the purpose of refinancing distress
ed mortgages on farms to avoid
foreclosure or for the financing of
the repurchase of farms by farm
ers who had been foreclosed. The
Land Bank Commissioner can make
loans up to rs per cent of the ap-
praised value of the property either
on first mortgage or loans can be
made on a second mortgage for the
difference between the amount OF
the first mortgage and rs per cent
of the appraised value. During the
l0-year period in which Land Bank
Commissioner loans have beer
made, the Federal Farm Mortgage
Corporation has closed in the states
of Alabama, Mississippi and Louis
