From present indications, one of

the two-day annual carnival at

Never before has there been such

queen of the carnival and given an
enjoyable trip to Atlanta Univer-

General Miller Says
Group Hopes to Double Quota
William Johnson Center,
Boy Scouts Among
Agencies Benefited

There is growing appreciation
of civic responsibility on the part
of Negro citizens, as well as an
increasing ability and willingness
to do their part when called on"
according to S. w. Miller, who is
major general of the colored solicit
tation division in the united com
munity and national War Fund
drive. Assisting him as brigadier
general of the division is DR.. L. A.
Smith.
Every colored citizen in Jackson
will be asked to become a contri-
butor to the End War Chest, Miller
said.
Our advanced gifts solicitations
among our people made very sat
isfactory progress he reported,
and predicted that more money
will be subscribed to this campaign
than has ever been raised in any
other campaign of this kind.
1t was through Miller's efforts
that a promotional program fea-
ing soap box oratory and string
band music" carried the End War
Chest appeal into all the principal
Negro centers of Jackson through
out last week.
Miller says that he is asking all
Negro schools and colleges to col
lect their money for the War Chest
in their special drives, and to call
him by Tuesday of next week.
In the meantime, Miller is push
ing up all workers to complete their
work as far as possible by Mon
day. At that time he hopes to be
allie to compile a 90qs complete
record of all who are working
among the Negroes advanced gifts,
business solicitation, schools and
colleges, and the residential work.
TIE quota taken by the colored
division totals $3,5OO00; but Major
General Miller is of the opinion
that twice this sum can be raised
by colored citizens, IF they will
just know that everyone can help,
and that no contribution to this
cause is too small to be of some
good. jackson Daily News.

Negroes Show
Gain In War
Employment

Negroes have scored real gains
in war employment since the be-
ginning of the war emergency.
Monsignor Francis ]. Hass, retiring
Chairman of the Presidents Com
mittee on Fair Employment Prac-
tice, told newspapermen at his fl
nal press conference at the Com
mittee's headquarters Monday, Oc-
tober Is.
AT present" Monsignor Hass de-
clared, Negroes constitute one out
of every IA war workers, and one
out of every IL government work.
ers'
Improvement in Negro employ
ment in war industries has been
substantial in the last year." the
Chairman stated.
In July, 1892" he pointed out.
Negro workers constituted only
90 percent of total war produc-
ton employees. BY July, 1943, this
percentage had risen to 7.3 per cent.
Since Negroes constitute roughly
10 per cent of our population, you
can see that we still have big
job ahead. Negro employment is
still limited to too few establish
mentS, and there is still much un-
LIBERALIZATION of the skills of Ne
gro workers.
Monsignor Haas announced that
Malcolm Ross, his successor. would
be sworn into office Tuesday, Oc-
tober 10. Mr.. Ross, former Dep
uty Chairman of the Committee,
stated briefly that there would be
complete continuity of the Com
mittee's work" and announced that
George NJ. Johnson, Assistant Chair
man, would be promoted to the
Deputy Craftsmanship.

Shoe Stamp Is
Good Until OPA
Gives Due Notice

Should it ever become necessary
to terminate Shoe Ration Stamp 18
the public will be given 80 days
notice, General Manager Chester
Bowles of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration said today.
Mr.. Bowles' statement was made
to refute unfounded scarce-buying
rumors that the validity period OF
Stamp Is might be cancelled with
only "a hours notice of consum-
ers.
Last month OPA announced that
Stamp Is would not expire October
81 as originally scheduled, but that
the validity period of this shoe
stamp and of Airplane Stamp /
in War Ration Book Three-which
becomes valid on November l.
will overlap. At that time, OPA
gave assurance that it it should be-
come necessary to terminate these
stamps at soc MIXTURE date, no
such action would be taken with
out adequate notice to consumers
and dealers.
Fast spreading rumors, many of
them inspired, about the sudden
termination of Stamp Is make nee
essary definite statement of what
is meant by adequate notice" Mr..
Bowles said. Adequate notice in
this case means 80 days notice.
And, l might add, we have no in
tention of giving that notice now.
Our only reason for ever ter
minating the validity period of
shoe stamps would be the problem
of counterfeiting. We have found
counterfeits of Stamp IS in few
isolated instances and are tracing
them to their source for proper ac-
ton. However, if any quantity of
counterfeit stamps ever got into
circulation it might be necessary
to invalidate all Stamps Is before
shoe stocks are depleted. The new
shoe stamps on safety paper would
preclude any such possibility.
"Of course our greatest battle
against counterfeitting would be
won if there was no illegal use of
loose stamps. In telling the public
and the dealers why loose stamps
are invalid for ver-the-counter
sales, we hope they will realize it's
their greatest protection against
counterfeiting. Understanding such
facts as these should stimulate con-
fidence to a point where it serves
as its own enforcement.
The purpose of rationing is to
spread the limited supply. If peo-

Youth Represent
MIA In South

The annual report of the New

riculture farm students in eleven
Southern states, shows that this

tribution to the war effort, the
Federal Security Agency said to-
day. Since Pearl Harbor, these
youths have made the following
contributions:
Cd $153,996 worth of war bonds
and stamps purchased.
90 968,263 pounds of rubber,
rags, and paper collected.
CD 1884 burlap bags collected.
(4) $685. tons of scrap meal COL

workers for a total of 2,268
farms.
CD 3 201 farm workers were
placed on farms by MIA
members.
90 e,713 members are serving

Also by extending their super
vised farming programs and by
carrying out supplementary farm
practices on their home farms, the
youths assisted in a tremendous
increase in the production of beef
cattle, hogs. sheep, poultry pro-
ducts, dairy products, peanuts, soy
beans and grains.

the college women by the new u.
S. Cadet Nurse Corps will be dis
cussed by Mrs. Pauline B. Butler
when sh eaddresses the students of
Jackson College, November 8, and
Campbell College, November 9.
Mrs. Butler represents the Nat
ional Nursing Council for War Ser
vice and the Corps, the new Gov

S. Public Health Service, offers a
free professional education to quail
flied students. Her visit is part of
a nationwide endeavor to recruit
$4,000 new student nurses this year
to meet growing war needs. 1t is
estimated that about one-third of
thi snumber should have leader
ship qualities, and more than the
minimum techinacl preparation, if
tn enursing profession is to meet
demands that will be made upon
it by war, and reconstruction in
the postwar era.
Fresh from a conference with
Miss Lucille Petry, director of the
U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps, and other
national authorities, Mrs. Butler
will be able to answer all questions
about government sponsorship of
this war work with a future. .
Recruits to the Corps will receive
free buttons, maintenance, distinc-
tive grey and scarlet street uni
forms, and a monthly stipend dur
ing their entire period of training
in accredited civilian schools of
nursing. In return. they promise to
remain active in essential military
or civilian nursing for the dura-
ton of the war.
Graduate of the Harlem Hospi-
tai School of Nursing in New York
City, Mrs. Butler served as head
nurse and ward instructor at Har-
lem Hospital from 1887 to 1899.
She was staff nurse in the Chest
Clinic of the City Department of
Health in Buffalo, New York, for
a year, then returned to New York
