Fighting Infantle Paralysis
AT Tuskegee Institute

A grand total of $207, 356 has
been spent for Infantile Paralysis
work at the Tuskegee Institute
Infantile Paralysis Center, Tuske-
gee, Alabama, it was announced
this week by the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis.

Five Hundred Men
To Be Conditioned
BY Joe Louis

The Mr.. Big of the boxing indus
try world, Joe Louis, has really
got himself a job.
A couple of weeks ago the he
adquarters of the Cavalry Replace
ment Training Center announced
that the heavyweight titleholder
was starting a series of boxing
classes. Those interested were in
vited to turn in their names and
turn out for the fun. To date more
than 500 troopers have responded
and Joe is up to his ears in padded
gloves.
This is momething have wan
ted to do ever since I got in the
Army" Louis explains. Besides
being good conditioning exercise
boxing teaches the boys how to
take care of themselves. Sometime
they may get in a spot where a
gun may not be the best weapon.
Maybe their fists will be the best
weapon. We're trying to teach SOL
diers how to use their fists and
take care Of themselves, SO they
won't lose confidence if they got
where they can't use gun.
That's long speech for Jot, but
it merely shows how thoroughly
he is sold on his new boxing pro-
gram.

Health Assets
Of Mississippians
Exceed Liabilities

Health assets of Mississippians
are at last beginning to exceed
liabilities, said D. r. N. Whitfield
director of the division of vital
statistics, State Board of Health,
discussing today, the life saving
results of preventive medicine as
seen in declining death rates.
There was a time when the peo-
pei of this state possessed few as
sets in the matter of health pro-
lection" said the physician adj
ding that unscreened homes, back
yard toilets, unprotected water,
milk and food supply, were some
of the liabilities counting their
victims in the hundreds.
The picture has changed, said
DR. Whitfield, pointing out that
pneumonia deaths have gone from
1744 in 1920 to 953 in 1941, tu-
berculosis from 2271 in 1920 to
1915 in 1941. Deaths from malaria
diphtheria, intestinal diseases, show
a proportinate decrease over this
same period, said the physician.
But, he added it took a war to re-
duce the slaughter from reckless

Relations With
North Africa

A Communique from the office
of General Giraud, French High
Commissioner, said no attempts
to divide the French people in
North Africa will be tolerated.
The communique, explaining that
steps had been taken to insure
tranquility behind the fighting lines
said most persons had accepted
the recent developments calmly
but small element had been try
ing to cause unrest.
President Roosevelt expects to
confer with General Charles de-
Gaulle, but has already discussed
with mission from General Cir
aud, the question of supplies for
French troops. Elmer Davis and
Milton Eisenhower of the Office
of War Information told a press
conference that unless substantial
quantities of food and clothing ar
rive in North Africa before Feb
ruary /, there will be serious tro-
uble there. Much of the food ear
marked for that area by lend lease
has arrived. but much more is ne
eded. 49,
Allied activity in North Africa
has taken five main forms, short
rangs fighters and fighter bomb
ers do battle area attacking; bonn
bers carry out daylight attacks
on ports, shipping airdromes and
railways; Raj bombers handle
heavy night attacks Raj recon
naissance planes conveys and att
ack U-boats, and USAAF trans
port planes bring men and sup
plies into the forward areas.
In the southwest pacific area
in 1912, 1926 Japanese planes
were destroyed or damaged, &C.
cording tn an Allied Air Force
announcement. Allie plane losses
in 1912 were small.

Service Age Men
May Still Enlist
In Marines

Men of service age can still vol
unteer for enlistment in the II.
S. Marine Corps, Major Edwiyn o.
Schultz, officer in charge of the
state induction and recruiting sta
ton, reports.
Under the new Volunteer enist-
ment plan, men of 1887, inclus-
i've, who desire to join the Marines
must receive permission from their
local selective service boards befors
enlisting, the officer said Two
plans were being suggested to pro-
spective applicants. First. they
may go to their local board for
permission to enlist, and then re-
port to the nearest Marine in
duction and recruiting station for
enlistment; or second, they may
go to the nearest Marine induc-
ton and recruiting station for
preliminary examination and then
report to their local board for per-
mission to enlist.
Youths of IL, and men of 3S who
qualify for specialist ratings can
enlist in the Marines without get
ting releases from their cards, it
was explained.
Men are urged to keep in mind
that they can still choose the Ma
rine Corps as their branch of the
service Major Schultz said Our
Corps is still volunteer organi-
cation; the only change is in the
method of enlistment"

Faced with the additional ration
in of food stuffs, we must see
to it that foods that are available
are used economically and to the
best advantage.
Milk, for exemple, tops all lists
of foods of high nutritional qualiti-
es, but wasteful practices enor-
mously restrict it's use for human
food.
Here in Mississippi milk shor-
tage exists; our demand exceeds
the supply by some 5000 gallons
a day. Yet like all other sections
of the United States, we have up
to now been using only small per-
centage of our skim milk for hui
man food. This waste, estimated
at an annual Is billion pounds for
the country, was partially due to
the false notion that skimming
milk removes it's major values.
Actually in separating milk los
es nothing but fat content and a
small amount of vitamin A, both
of which can be found in much
less costly food.
If the recommended quart of
milk a day for children and pint
for adults becomes on local sup
ply, dried or evaporated milk can
be used to supplement fresh milk.

Car Owners Must
Have Tires Inspected
Before January 81.

Motorists who expect to qualify
for continued use Of their cars
after January 81, must get their
tires inspected before that date.
Neither gasoline ration books or
tires will be issued in the future
to those who do not meet the in
spection deadline, the OPA offic-
ial explained.
There are officially designated
QUA inspectors conveniently loca-
ted in every community and there
are enough of them to handle all
inspections If motorists fill coop
crate to the extent of going in as
soon as possible instead of delay
ing as long as they can.
All car owners, no matter what
kind of mileage rationing book
they have, are required to get to
their initial tire inspection before
the end of this month.

A Tribute To
The Late Mrs.
Jennie Dee Motion
BY Bertha L. Johnson

In the course of human events
it is appointed that the end of
mortal life must come. Nor are we
permitted to choose the time or
the place when and where this
change shall be made 1t is not
unusual but indeed shocking for
the call to come when we are
most active and dearly beloved be-
cause of our services to others
All Of this is notably true in the
recent passing of our friend, CO.
worker, and benefactor, Mrs. Jen-
ME D. Motion.
She had toured Mississippi three
times in the last few years, first
as president of. the National Fed
Grafton of Colored Women's Clubs
and twice as representative of AAA
before the Agricultural Extension
Agents of the state. Each time
the meeting was held on the cam
pus of the Prentiss Institute, and
she was our guest. Each time
she spoke to overflow audiences
composed Of farmers, their wives
young people, and white leaders
from various sections of the state.
We can never forget what now
seems to have been an inspired

final visit in November. It was
a most earnest and impressive ap-
peal to the colored people to do
their patriotic duty on both the
front and home lines in the pros
ecution of the war; and to the white
leadership to willingly grant the
Negro the full enjoyment Of all
the rights and privileges of the De-
mocracy which he is called to de-
fend.
Mrs. Motion, like her sainted hus
band, loved the great rural south.
Therefore, it seems to me that
it was indeed appropriate that
the end of this beautiful life sho-
uld begin here in Mississippi am
ong friends whom she served and
who loved her dearly and tender
! ly. Her work is done, nobly done.
AS Club women of the district
who knew her best, may we real
ize and cherish the heritage that
is ours. May we thank God for
la life that was courageous and
yet gentle.
Mrs. Motion felt that the humb-
lest and most neglected of the
group deserved the best things
within the gift of the nation. For
theos, she asked and often con-
tended but without quarrel.
Doubtless, her greatest contrib
ution to the welfare and uplift OF
the race was made as National
leader of organized club women
Her leadership was above repro
ach. None impugned her motives
nor doubted her sincerity. Women
followed her because they believer
| in her. The standards set still be-
con us on to higher grounds and
greater accomplishments.
