observed all the activity about on
the post I began to wonder what
kind of a program will the church
have to put on to help and hold not
only the boys who come back after
the duration, but these girls or
women who are now serving in the
various branches in the armed
forces? It is a serious matter and
we will do well to begin now to at
least think about it.
was fortunate in finding an old
schoolmate of mine, Gadsbury
Tucker, working as a mechanic in
the garage on the post. Mr.. Tucker
was one of the greatest pitchers
ever produced in the collegiate
circle in Arkansas. I used to be the
official scorekeeper when Tucker
would strike out 16 and 10 batters
in games for "dear old Philander
Smith" at Little Rock.
Just before leaving the post I
saw Major Charity Adams, who
spoke at the Pilgrim Baptist
Church here recently. The day be-
fore I had called her and she made
it possible for me to make a tour
of the post with 1t. Godfrey as my
guide. I think I ought to say at
this point that anyone may be ex-
tended the same courtesy on the
post if they call Major Adams or
the Public Relations office, as the
WACs are glad to have people visit
their post. Major Adams, who is
one of the two Negro Majors in the
WACs, is regarded very highly on
the post and is an inspiration to
those who know her. She told me
that she enjoyed her visit to st.
Paul and is looking forward to
coming to st. Paul again.
Yes, there is a guard-house on
the post, but the doors are open
most of the time, I was informed.
The girls also do guard duty and
they like it and are more difficult
to get past than soldiers.
Segregation In Living Quarters
There is segregation on the post
in the matter of living and eating
quarters and companies on the post.
But all attend the various chapels,
post exchange and theatre without
discrimination.
Relations Very Good
A few Of the Negro officers eat
with the white officers and the rela-
ton between the two race groups
seems to be very good and it is a
shame that the women are not per-
mitted to break down all of the
racial barriers in their part Of the
Army. 1t. Godfrey told me how
well the Negro and white officer
candidates got along at Fort Ogle-
thorpe in Georgia. She said the
girls would get along all right if
they were let alone.
I think that would hold true in
the regular Army if those re-
sponsible would give the orders to
do away with the silly, expensive
and undemocratic practice of segre-
cation and discrimination. I think
that because of the higher educa-
tional standards of the Woman's
Army Corps that racial barriers
can be broken down by the women
and I hope that they will use their
influence to do just that in our
armed forces. 1t. Godfrey was op-
timistic about race relations in the
post war world. She said that she
felt that things would be better for
the Negro, because many white
people will have better opinion of
Negroes because of the wartime
contacts and association.

And this is the tragedy of Chris
tan America that the Christian
Church has not really rejected the
color line, that racial separation is
comprehended and enforced in its
organization throughout the length
and breadth of the land, that its
protests against racial injustice,
discrimination and segregation is
as sounding brass and tinkling
cymbals because it has forgotten
the teachings of it's founder.

and is well liked on the post. We
went into the barrack where the
band and chorus practice. 1t.
Thelma Brown, a native of Florida,
is in charge. Rev. Whaley asked
her to let the chorus appear at his
church. His request will be granted.
AS I came into the building I met
Private Dorothy Martin of st. Paul.
She looks well and said that she
likes the WACs. She sings in the
chorus and is on the drums in the
band. Private Martin sends her
best regards to her parents and
friends in the Twin Cities.
Food Well Cooked
I ate dinner in the mess hall in
which 1t. Catherine Crane is in
charge. We had cabbage, ham,
cooked onions, salad, milk and
bread. The meal was well cooked.
1 met several other officers includ-
ing 1t. Webster and 1t. Flats. I
saw the handsome boy friend of 1t.
Smith, who is an officer in the
regular Army, who was visiting
while on furlough from his post.
When I saw him I could appreciate
better what 1t. Smith had said to
US earlier about her reasons for
joining the WAC.
Former Wheatleyite Is Captain
After dinner we went to the
office of Captain Frances Alex
ander, the only Negro battalion
commander on the post. I believe
that she is the second highest rank
ing Negro officer on the post. She
was not in her office but I met her
later. She had her little dog with
her. I seem to remember that she
called him "Boots." 1t. Godfrey
told me that they call him a war
rant officer and he wears a bar and
the WAC insignia. 1t. Godfrey
spoke very highly of Captain Alex
ander, whom I had known while
pastoring in Toledo, Ohio, her home
town. Capt. Alexander was on the
staff at the Phyllis Wheatley for
two years during the time Mrs.
Gertrude Brown was the head resi-
dent. Capt. Alexander inquired of
several Of her friends in the Twin
Cities and sends her best regards to
Leo Bohannon, Mrs. Dorothy Hall
Porter, Mrs. Nelson and other
friends here. Some significant i'm
plications (and possible complica-
tions!) in family relationships may
be observed by the innovation of the
WAC when 1 call your attention to
the fact that Captain Alexander is
married to a lieutenant in the regu-
lar Army. You doubtless know that
the rank of a captain is higher than
that of lieutenant. Maybe this is
just one example of the truth of
the matter as it relates to the sexes
in general. Who said that men are
superior to women? I did not!
Saw 1t. Ikaline Moore
I saw 1t. Ikaline Moore of Min
neapolis in the staging area. WACs
that are to be transferred to other
camps are sent to this area. I saw
several bags about, indicating that
some were about to leave this post.
1t. Moore, chic and charming, has
made a good record at Fort Des
MONIES and is proving a worthy
daughter of a hard and true fight
er, my friend, Ike Moore. 1t. Moore
admitted to 1t. Godfrey that for
several days she had been bored
because Of inactivity in her area,
but that she was feeling better now
that she was busy again. These
girls in this woman's army certain

spirit that our members assist Pill
grim in their announced revival
whenever convenient. Let us as
Christians move as a harmonious
whole.
The pastors subject next Sunday,
Dec. IL, will be "a Pattern for Liv-
ing."-C. H. Miller.
Pilgrim Baptist Church: The
morning service of November 5th
opened with an organ prelude and
professional followed by a chant,
the opening prayer and the morning
scripture reading. The morning
hymn was "Let the Lower Lights
Be Burning" which was very ap-
propriate for these times. The
choir rendered as special music the
very beautiful "Santa Maria"
A very special and long-looked-
for announcement was made about
the mortgage burning ceremony
which will be broadcast from Pill
grim auditorium, the third Sunday
of December.
Instead of the regular sermon,
an old-fashioned testimonial meet
ing was held which inspired Mrs.
J. C. Turntine of 737 St. Anthony
to join the church on her Christian
experience. The right hand of fell
lowship was extended to Mrs. Turn
tine, Mrs. Ella Curry Hickman and
Mrs. Hickman's daughters, Clara
and Virginia Curry, who had joined
the church prior to this service.
Visitors included Mrs. Allen Tay-
lor, Macon, Mo-; Kenneth Jones,
Gunners Mate Third Class, Hast
ings, Neb.; Mrs. W. L. Marrow,
Nashville, Tenn; Mrs. Prentice
Harris and R. A. Fisher, St. Paul;
Mrs. F. B. Wigington, Omaha;

Tells of Mothers
Heroism in Ship Fire
mo. II OF q Series
BY ROBERT c. HARPER.

Reuniting a Cuban mother and
her two young children, separated
when the Inflated ship MORO Castle
burned off the New Jersey coast a
few years ago, is Otto Lund's most
satisfying recollection of "a years
Red Cross service.
Mr.. Lund, Chapter Manager of the
District Red Cross since 1887, has
ministered to victims of flood. fire
and famine, but always he thinks
first of that Cuban mother.
Her name is unimportant, but
she is living symbol of Red Cross
humanitarianism," he related
With an eight-year-o son and a
baby son. six months old. she was
aboard the Moro Castle for a visit
to relatives in New York Her hus-
band was in Havana. When fire
enveloped the ship the mother put
a lifebelt on her oldest son and saw
him lowered in boat Then she
put on her lifebelt and, clutching
her infant son. jumped into the
water. Mother and two children
were picked up, but they became
separated.
Suffering from shock, the mother
was taken to New York's Bellevue
Hospital. The oldest son was brought
into Spring Lake, N j. where I was
assisting in the disaster relief work
Through mixup. the baby was
taken to Coney Island"

memory,

keep in close touch with salary ad-
justment legislation for teachers
now pending before Congress.
Available for Conferences.
DR.. Ballou explained to the board:
In view of my experiences while
on leave as well as my experiences
since attempting to resume my duties
as superintendent, I am of the opln-
ion that it is necessary for me to
have an additional period of sick
leave in order to be relieved largely.
II not wholly, of my official duties
His official statement concluded:
While l am of the opinion that the
more completely I can be relieved
OF my official duties. the sooner l
shall be able TO return to service,
nevertheless. I shall be available for
conferences on any important mat
tiers that may arise concerning which
can be of assistance"
Mr.. Haycock was appointed
teacher in the public school system
in 1895 and became an administra-
tive principal in 1914. BY 1923 he
was an assistant superintendent of
schools and in 1886 he was ap-
pointed first assistant superintend-
dent and chief deputy for the SUPER
intendent.
