erous letters written by some OF
the military personnel to various
newspapers, organizations and indi-
viduals and referred to the War
Department.
Dissatisfaction and unrest among
the colored military personnel at
Camp Stewart was found to be due
in large measure to the segrega-
ton laws of the Stat eof Georgia
and the restrictions imposed upon
Negroes in the South.
The only nearby town large
enough to afford colored soldiers
at Camp Stewart any substantial
entertainment and recreational IA

New Mt. Zion Baptist Church
Freed OfDebt On Anniversary
q. W. Suits Doubles Amount
Raised By Church, Gives 2,4O6

This week friends rejoice with the
Pastor and Members of New Mt
Zion Baptist Church in the COM
plete freeing of the church from
ell debt on its 37th Anniversary.
And Jacksonians everywhere are
praising G. w. Suits, one of Missis-
sippi's wealthiest Negroes, for his
exhibition of christian philanthropy
in giving New Mt. Zion Baptist
Church in a recent drive, $2,440.4 40.
The New Mt Zion Baptist Church
was organized in 1906 on Parker
Street in a little red house with
six women and one man making
up the entire congregation and
Rev. Wade Hamilton as Pastor.
The present New Mt. Zion was
built in 1927 on the corner of Ma
pie and Parker Street with the
modern and up-to-date edifice cost
ing $4,000. This church was built
during the pastorage of Rev. D. M.
Mccoy.
In 1912, Rev j. H. Robinson was
chosen pastor of this progressive
church and during the week of
June Ia, 1913, the 9th Anniversary
was observed with the main fea-
ture of the observance being a
money raising drive in an effort
to free the church of all indebted
ness. It was at this time that Mr..
Suits agreed to double every dol
lar raised by the church in the
drive.
The following church auxiliaries
participated in the weeks prog
ram:
Monday night, Deacon's and Trus-
tees night. Tuesday, B. T. U.
Night. Wednesday, Sunday School
Night. Thursday, Home and For
eign Mission Night Each auxiliary
raised over 500 and a large num-
Der of friends gave generous dona-
tions, among them being: City Coal
& Lumber Co., Miss. Iron Foun-
dry, Mr.. Isidore Dreyfus, Mr.. John
Hart. The largest contribution be-
ing that made by Mr.. C. w. Suits
on Sunday School Night.

Headquarters for the Kinds Coun-
ty Ration Board were moved this
week from the fairgrounds to North
Mill street just back of the Edwards

out that there were several park
ing lots near the Ration Boards

able for people to leave their cars
while transacting ration business.

ferments of men between Is and 25
who are not fathers will be linn
tied to six months and after Octo-
Der l, replacement schedules will
prepare for the induction of work.
ers who are fathers, local Selective
Service Boards have been informed
Instructions sent out by the Sc
lective Service bureau of the War
ManpoWer Commission state that
every man 25 or under who is sin
gle, or married without children,
must be scheduled for replacement
during the siX-month period be-
tween July l and January 1. Only
exceptions will be Cd those with
the highest skills or professional
qualifications" who are in "key or
supervisory" positions, and (2)
those who have demonstrated ca
pacity for a certain assignment for
which no replacement is availa-
ble."
Men with children, who were not
listed previously on replacement
schedules, will be covered after
July ], although the instructions
state that no father shall be listed
for replacement before October l..
The instructions pointed out that
replacement schedules in the fu-
ture will list "only few" key men
who will be deferrable.
Those to be listed for replace
ment first will be workers in oc-
equations having the shortest train
ing and replacement time. Consid-
Grafton will also be given to pre-
vious and existing deferments. In
cases where employers are faced
with the replacement of a large
number of men in an occupation
requiring short time for training
requirements, the employer may
find it necessary to spread the re-
placement of such men over several
months by scheduling definite
number each month as rapidly as
requirements can be secured.
In gerenal, single men will be
scheduled for replacement before

Clowns And Red
Sox At League
Park Tuesday Mite

Announcement that the ininlita-
bic Cincinnati Clowns and Mem
phis Red Sox are coming to Lea
que Park on Tuesday, June %,
for an official Negro American
League night game, starting at $50
o'clock was made this week.
Either one, against any sort of
opposition, would be a popular at
traction here, but the tw oof them
paired together in a game of impor-
lance in their league championship
race makes the occasion all the
more outstanding.
Both are comm gwith powerful
squads and hopes high of finish
ing the seas on atop the stand
ings. An added attraction will be
a full showing of the Clowns famed
comedy and novelty antics, includ-
ing the shadowball or phantom
infield drill, pepper game, fishing
act and others, an dpossibly Lloyd
Pepper) Bassetts, stunt of catch
ing an inning or so while seated
in a rocking chair. Ringleader in
the Clowns antics department is
King Tut" zany deluxe, and also
a first baseman of parts.
The Clowns, managed by dimu-
nitive Mckinley Dummy Downs
and winners of the national cham
pionship tournament at Denver in
l941, the last time the event was
held, are star-studded with talent
despite tn emen they have lost to
the armed service. Their pitch
ing is superb with Roosevelt Davis,
Leo Preacher) Henry, Ulysses
Evans, Fred Wilson, Harvey Hid
gon. Guido Pilot and Bus Allen
among their beavers. Buster May
wood voted the most valuable
player in 1941 Denver tourney,
forms with Basset a most formi-
dable catching staff. All of the
ether positions are held down in
capable style by such men as Len
Lindsey, Johnny Britton, Sy1ves-
ter Snead, Charlie Harris, Ralph
Cole, Johnny Williams, Felix Nc
Laurin, Johnny Ray and others of
the same high caliber.
In the Memphis Red Sox they
meet the mighty aggregation that
finished a close title runner-up the
past two seasons to Satchel Paige's
Kansas City Monarchs.

Average Income
Of Americans
Greatly Increased

The average Americans income
is about 1.8 times what it was in
the middle of 1910, but it isn't ex-
actly the same kind of money, the
Office of War Information said to-
day.
In July 1910, the month the de
Tense" program began, the aver
age American-man, woman or
child-received about $47.92 in in
come. Military expenditures in
that month amounted to something
like a dollar and a half per per-
son. Americas business was the
peacetime business of making re-
frigerators, automobiles, radios and
gadgets for Americans to buy.
War has made great difference
to the American purse. In April
of this year, income per capita was
$05.03 as compared to the SAT. go of
July 1910 War expenditures had
pushed it up. If the average AM
erican had been called upon to
pay April's war expense on the
spot, they would have come to
1882 of his $500 income, as com
pared with the dollar and a half
for July 1910.
Explanation of why the citizen
did not have to pay on the spot is
a complicated matter. But a SIM
pie fact is that these 1914 dollars
spent for war, while they were get
ting to mems pockets. in the form
OF wages and profits, were preduc-
ing guns, planes, and tanks, and
ammunition for them to shoot away
