, Negro worker must understand
that he Is no longer a cotton ten
ant or a wage hand working as a
slave for bare existence and
that his labor is his only con-
Germ, but today. all OF his activ-
tiles are important and essential.
Irrespective to what his line Of
| duties Is: whether. working In
a munitions plant making ammu-
milton; gathering cotton or feed
on a farm or stacking rough lum-
Der or telling trees. he is an es-
sential War worker and his Job
is dependent upon our efforts to
win the war.
The National Hold-Your-Job
Committee is aware that there
are all kinds OF propaganda
from enemies of Negro workers
circulated among employers and
white fellow workers to create
strife and dissatisfaction on jobs
where he Is employed. Propa-
gandlsts go as far as to say that
the Negro worker is careless with
his person and carries body
odors, that he is spreader OF
contagious disease. that he ia un-
intelligent, incapable OF think.
ing. that he Ia unreliable and al
ways bothered by garnishments.
They use every method possible
to get the Negro Oft the job, for
II is believed by many that for a
period after the war this coun-
try will 60 thru a boom and no
means are overlooked now to
shackle the Negro for that period
of prosperity.
The better thinking and more
reliable people should start now
availing themselves with every
opportunity to acquaint the Neg
no worker with his responsibility
and teaching him how to take an
inventory of himself and his
Jobs getting true picture where
he can improve himself and es-
goodwill between his en-
ployer, his fellow worker and
himself.
Whether this country will go
thru a booming period after the
war or not. there is a hope that
there will be a need for the Negro
worker, at any rate, there will be
a need for the Negro to work.
and for that reason, he should be

Lack of reserves thwarted hopes
of Bluffton's independent basketball
team to win the championship of the
Lima Majo Industrial league, and
the locals were defeated in playof
game last Thursday, 30 to 20, by
Eds Cigar Store.
However, by finishing as runner
up to the Eds Cigar team in the
first round, and tying the same crew
for second round honors, the Bluff
ton outfit earned a handsome trophy
that is on display this week in the
window of the Bluffton News.
Misfortunes of the game cost the

War Bond Quota Will
Average SIS Each
CONTINUED from papa II


Bogart, co-chairmen of the drive
here, indicated in a statement made
the first of the week that every
Bluffton resident is urged to be in a
receptive frame of mind when the
solicitors call, due to urgency of the
drive and the short time allotted.
State Record
Bluffton has made an outstanding
state record in the War Savings
bond purchases and there is no
reason why this goal cannot be
reached in the current campaign,
they stated.
The 13 billion dollars sought in
the Second War Loan, plus current
monthly bond purchases, taxes, and
other revenue, will finance the war
for about three months, it is esti-
mated.
But there's another purpose-to
drain off current surplus income in
to war bond savings to avoid inf1a-
ton.
That's why Americans are asked
to buy nearly as many war bonds
in April alone as they have during
the past two years. Every citizen
is urged to buy extra bonds-above
and beyond his regular purchases.
What the government wants is
current income surplus-the money
made in 1943 that can find no goods
to buy without bidding up prices to
get them.
So the treasury has offered to
America a set of investments where
citizens can lend their money-at
interest-to help the men who are
giving their lives at the front.
Members of the two organizations
stated that they plan to enlist every
dollar available i'm the community
during the April drive. Complete
details will be given at the rally of
workers and solicitors to be held this
Wednesday night at the Bluffton
High school cafeteria.
Remember, your not being asked
to give but just to lend your money
to your government to win the war.
It's the best investment in the world.

Friendliness is the key word to
soldier boys in the South, it was
stated in a letter received here this
week from Pfc. Robert McCune who
is taking the course of the Army
Air Corps administration school lo-
Gated at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Previously McCune had been To-
Gated at Atlantic City, N. j., where
the lack of friendliness was just as
apparent as the presence of it in
the south. People in the south seem
to go out of their way to be kind
to one and to extend courtesies,
McCune stated.
Another characteristic of southern
culture is the almost complete lack
of swearing. The soldiers have re-
marked that profanity is almost
never heard in the south in contrast
to its profuse use in the north, the
letter said.
Not the least attractive feature
of the south is the pretty girls. II

think the sunshine has a lot to do
with their color and keeps them
healthy"
Speaking of the weather McCune
pointed out that it is very hot In
Louisiana and that it has a tendency
to make one drowsy a good bit OF
the time. At the present time the
temperature averages about 80 de-
grees but in August the merk Jumps

There are countless reminders In
Baton Rouge of Huey Long. His
name appears on innumeraole places
always with the implication that he
was a great Statesman, the letter
stated.
McCune graduated from Bluffton
High school in the class OF 1910 and
later attended Bluffton college.

Many Bluffton Raised Guinea Pigs
Are Used In Scientific Research
VERY USEFUL

They have become so useful to the
laboratories that most of the larger
ones are compelled to have a special
department devoted exclusively to the
purpose of locating and buying a
supply of these small animals.
The medical usage of guinea pigs
is not restricted solely to the stand
ardizing of anti-toxins, for thous-
ands of them are used weekly in
hereditary experimentation and many
other types of research work.
The animal is very hardy, thrives
in unheated buildings and is highly
reproductive. No other domestic ami
NAL can approach the guinea pig in
breeding qualities. Ellis Parker But
Ter, famous humorist, wrote story
pigs Is Pigs" in which he told Of
the problems of an express company
agent who had difficulties with the
rapid reproduction of a group of
guinea pigs that were not claimed
for shipment.
Four LITTERs PER YEAR
The average female has about -four
litters a year with three to six
guinea pigs in a litter. 1t takes
four or five weeks after birth for
the cavy to weigh eight ounces,
which is a size preferred by many
laboratories.
They feed on oats and alfalfa hay
and should have some greens. In
the warmer months it is inexpensive
to raise the guinea pigs as they
thrive on grass and almost any plant
or vegetable.
The animals are very gentle and
never bite nor scratch. Children
often teach them to eat out of the
hand or even follow them about. 1t
is not only a profitable activity but
a highly interesting one, Hochstettler
stated.

Anyway with every pound taking
