Aerial Robin HnndS

Although the cadets at Ran
dolph Field, Texas, West Point of the
Air, may never have a chance to
send an arrow twanging toward the
Japs or Nazis, they would prove
mighty dangerous with a long bow
if the occasion to use one ever arose.
To aid them in developing a sense
Of sighting and trajectory for the
time when they will lend steel spit
ting from the guns of their fighting
planes, Randolph's tyro pilots learn
to be experts with the bow and ar
row. Teacher Of cadet archery is
Private Lloyd c. Schwartz, twice
bow and arrow champion Of Texas
and once Southern champion. A San
Antonio boy, Private Schwartz is
teaching cadets to be experts at plac-
ing arrows in the target at a dis
lance Of 100 yards. This is called
CLOUD shooting" Another trick the
cadets practice is sinking arrows in
a two-inch target at 100 feet. One
of these days they'll be the Robin
Hoods of the air.

Make Each Hour Count

Days are short and work will not
get done unless we plan to make
each hour count. Simplify your
housekeeping. Time saving short
cuts can be worked out for most
homemaking jobs.
Make your time management plan
a family venture. It will be more
fun. Help the children to understand
that their work is worth while. They
will want to share in working for

Allow time for the companionship
of your family and friends, as well

those in which you can be of most
service.

Therefore, l do not think we
should agitate and>beg our country
to let US die in this war, especially
since our State leaders feel they
can do without US.
Miss Pearl Buck said recently
that the present war is not one for
freedom. Since we are going to
have another war, we will have an
other chance to shed our blood on
the battlefield.
However, we feel that we should
do something to help our country
in this hour of dire peril. Person
ally, I am impressed that picking
cotton in Arizona or anywhere else
is a far better assignment than
driving a tank in North Africa or
on the European continent. 1
would rather pick cotton five years
than fight one day to save the
BRUSH Empire.
Some of US must help feed the
army, as we'll as those who remain
at home. Russia has a gallant army
in it's wheat fields. These laborers
are given as much praise as the
heroes on the battlefield.
Those of us who are too old for
active combat are trying to rush
the young Negro to death on land
and sea. 1 am trying to say that
picking cotton is a better job and
just as patriotic as lodging bombs
in foxholes on Guadalcanal.
The best brain and blood we have
in our race is in the army. Should
they be assigned to a picking cot
ton job during the war, they would
be with US tomorrow.
There is less embarrassment and
humiliation in picking cotton in
the army than dying for the i'm
periaistic ambitions of the leaders
of the United Nations.
1 know that the Arizona cotton
producers are seeking cheap labor;
that they are also attempting to
evade the Government regulation of
wages, and fear Government regu-
lation of working conditions. I
still contend that cotton picking is
the best job in the war.
have no criticism of the War
department for keeping our avi-
ators at Tuskegee for two years
without an assignment. I trust they
will remain there two more years.
These young men have done their
duty. They are patriotic. They are
brave. They have offered all they
have to their country. What more
can be done?
There is plenty to do on the home
front. If our country will not per-
NIT US to help win the war, we will
help it win the peace.
This is our country! We will har-
vest the crops; work in steel and
rubber plants; pick cotton and work
anywhere.
If the question of superiority
is not settled soon, both the Anglo
Saxons and Aryans will be minority
groups.
If young white boys, the flower
of the race, feel it is their duty to
face Axis tanks and planes; if they
resent the presence of black boys
at their side; if they choose to die
to save the civilization of which we
are also a part; if they feel the
honor is too great to share, Negro
leadership should accept without
complaint this decision.
Yours truly,

ONDO-STRYKER

Folks wait wind-swept Wabasha,
With bated breath and lowered jaw,
They stomp their feet, cuss and SILVER,
AS streetcars roll like Old Man River.
They count eight Hamline- Cherokees,
Ten Como arriets come and go with ease,
And then as breakfast champagne, caviar,
Incredible, at last Rondo-Stryker car,
Packed and jammed with human sardines,
Dark laborers, shoppers, office queens.
War and Democracy weave a strange pattern,
The well-dressed femme sits next to slattern.
The pale folks huddle, terrified,
Lest some unwanted brother park beside;
And yet must confess theirs not the only sin,
Errors not all without, there's much within.
The trap-suspended admiral or generalissimo
Directs the war in tones un-pianissimo.
Human trombones blare from door to door,
News of the week, sung to boogie-woogie score.
Each day the streetcar's personal column
Grows more and more uncensored volume;
Commentators know and air all marital strife,
And thus we learn somebody's left his wife;
Old what-you-call-him's sick in bed,
His gal caught on and broke his head;
Joe's in the army, Jack was rejected,
Mrs. Big Shots telephone is disconnected.
Those sepia Astors who gave big suppers
Are down and out and on their uppers.
That couple married New Years day
Will be three some day in May.
An 81 Heard This-"-'T told you sol"
Three regulations down, and goal to go.
All may be true, can't refute it,
But how wish the folks would mute it.

And thus must hear both sides of disc.
All yes, the Rondo Line is quite provincial
With every other soul Winchell!
