the Canadians initial task in the
Eighth Army invasion plan"
This initial news, received 10
hours before Allied headquarters
in North Africa announced that Ca
madam and British troops had
formed junction across Cape
Passero and were in full possession
of the area, was welcomed in Brit
ain.
For security reasons, the strength
and composition of the Canadian
formations Munro accompanied
from England to Sicily were not
revealed - but it is safe to as
sumo that they are in greater num-
ber than at Dieppe last August
when two infantry brigades and
part of one army tank brigade
were used.
1t was once thought that when
the Canadians went into battle they
would 60 as an army. but the term
army" has changed in meaning
since the beginning of the North
African campaign. Task forces as
signed to special jobs and extreme
ly flexible in their composition
are the armies of today.
While the Battle of Sicily is in
it's initial stages at least, the Ca
nadians may be used to supple
ment these task forces just as Aus
tralian and New Zealand divisions
ought at one time or another dur
ing the Libyan and Tunisian cam
paigns with the Eighth Army.
Montgomery and the Canadians
are well acquainted, for the first
Canadians reaching England IN
late 1899 and early 1910 served un-
der the Uulster-born general when
he was commanding the south
eastern command.
Munro's story mentioned west
erners" and units from Nova Sco-
tia, New Brunswick and Quebec
good indications that western Ca
NADIA and the two Maritime prov
inces are well represented in the
southeastern corner OF Sicily.
The Canadians and their British
comrades-in-arms form the east
ern wing of the invasion forces
that went into Sicilys coastline al
several points.

Click Magazine
Says Negro Kids
Less Delinquent

There is less juvenile Delinquent
cy among Negroes than among
whites, despite a nationwide rise
of Fl percent in juvenile delinquent
cy since the war began, Click Mag
azine declares in a copyrighted art
icle appearing in it's April issue,
out on the newsstands February
26th.
This startling reversal of the
popularly-held but erroneous the
DRY that delinquency among Ne
groes is greater than among whites,
comes as part of story carried by
Click on the methods used in Hart
ford, Conn.,, to combat the rising
tide of waywardness among teen
age Americans.
The Click article reveals that
Hartford began preparing for
trouble with its youth in 1910, long
before Pearl Harbor. Its Council
of Social Agencies made precise
plans for the coming emergency,
and last summer engaged a Grim
inologist to study their work to
date. AS a result of this planning
and study, Hartford has discovered
a number of important facts.
These are, Click reports, chat no
single agency in itself can prevent
delinquency; that once family is
broken up . potential delin-
quency case has been created; that
punishment does not straighten out
kids; that they must be given ex-
citing substitutes for the thrills
they find in gangs and dangerous
play; that delinquency among Ne
groes does not exceed their ratio
to the population and is, in fact,
less than among whites"

Annual Meeting
of Urban League
Tuesday, Mar. q

Annual meeting of the Mime
apolis Urban League, scheduled for
Tuesday, March %, will be held in
Benton Hall of the Minneapolis
Y. w. C. A., 8 p. m. Stringent food
rationing by the federal govern
ment makes it impossible for a din
ner meeting to be held at an &C
ceptable place where a reasonably
priced meal might be secured. Be-
cause of these war time restric-
tions, the Leagues Board of Di-
rectors decided that for the first
time in many years it would be
wise to forego the idea of a dinner
meeting.
Dinner or no dinner citizens of
both races in the Twin Cities have
evidenced a keen interest in hear
ing Judge William H. HASTE,
washington, u. o., who will ad-
dress the meeting. Judge Hastie's
expose of the ironclad limitations
on the training of Negroes for the
various branches of the air force
has aroused nationwide comment
Mr.. HASTE will discuss this subject
and other problems that prevent
our army from being run on a
democratic basis.
Activities of the Minneapolis
Urban League during the past year
will be discussed by Chas. w
Washington, Executive Secretary
Thomas Vennum, President, Board
of Directors, will preside.
