TOMMY BROWN,
POPULAR {. P. R.
STEWARD, RETIRES

Tommy Brown, as he is known
to the thousands of Alaskans who
have travelled with him and en-
loved the excellent meals served
under his supervision aboard Can
adian Pacific Steamship Company
vessels. is to be retired from his
position as Chief Steward this
month.
Brown has been with the Cana
dian Pacific Railway vessels since
the company first bought out the
old Canadian Pacific Navigation
Company in 1900 and was with the
latter company for a number OF
years prior to the purchase.
In his early career as steward
afloat he served under Capt. John
Mcleod, one of the earliest and
best known shippers on this coast.
He first served under Capt. Mcleod
aboard a sealing vessel. Later Capt.
Mcleod transferred to the Cana
dian Pacific Navigation Company
and short time later, Brown, too,
joined the steamship service. To-
gether they transferred to the
Canadian Pacific when that COM
pany bought the Canadian Pacific
Navigation. The old Islander, which
was salvaged several years ago from
where it had sunk below Gastineau
Channel, belonged to the Canadian
Pacific Navigation Company.
Capt. Mcleod, one of the most
popular shippers ever to come to
Alaska. was retired a number OF
years ago and has since died.
With the retirement of Brown,
one of the most familiar and best
liked officers of the CPR will leave
the Alaska service.

Propagandists Making Use
OF Many Tricks, Says Dean

Beware of propaganda and fifth
columnists who try to fan up Amer
lean differences and disagreements
by contrasting races, creeds, class
groups and political adherences, ad-
vises A. r. Warnock, dean Of men
at the Pennsylvania State college
and executive secretary OF the
Pennsylvania Advisory committee
on American Unity.
I'm this democracy we are not
alike as peas in pod the dean
pointed out, land we don't want to
be. Our national growth has in
creased with differences in racial
stock and background, in color, va
riety OF occupation, and in political
opinion.
Dean Warnock believed that ma
tional unity results when people who
have differences are kept more
aware OF what they have in common
common ideals, common objec-
tives, common dangers - but he
warned that those American citizens
who recognize only their differences
and not what they have in common
will have disunity.
Unity begins at home," Dean
Warnock said. 1T is democracy at
work and is built and maintained
by democratic methods. Like the
unity that is built up behind a local
high school football team, it must
be largely homemade.
He added that Americans cannot
remove their differences, but they
can subordinate them to the COM
mon cause of victory.

Swingler, a graduate of Nebraska
/ University School of Journalism
and who at one time vas connect

who is now managing editor of the

to the army at Fort Benning. Ga,
October q, on order of Local
Board No. II. He will report for

| Originally ordered for induction.
in March Of this year, Swingler's
induction was delayed through ap-
peals, which finally went to nat
ional headquarters at Washington,
by @. "A. Scott, general manager Of
the Scott Newspaper syndicate.
which publishes the semi-weekly
Memphis paper.
1r. Scott based his request for
Ceferment on Occupational Bullet
in NO. 20 issued by ~selective serv-
ice national headquarters in Sept
ember 1912, which listed managing
editors and several other employees
of newspapers as eligible for con-
s~ideration for d%eferment. Also IL
was pointed out in the various ap-
peals that there was a critical
shortage of trained newspaper
men and women and requirements
were practically impossible.
The heads of three of Memphis
leading Negro organizations joined
in asking a deferment for Editor
Swingler on the grounds that the
World was the city's only Negro
paper and "a doing what they
considered a splendid job for the

paper has played an effective part
IN all the various war efforts ard
especially the war bond drives.
Swlngler was ordered for Undue
ton the second time in July. but
upon request of Mr.. Scott. Gen. T.
"A. Frazier, state director of sell
ective service, ordered the local
board to reconsider the case. How
ever, Swingler was continued in
Ia classification until his Undue
ton.
Not having been able to find a
replacement for Swingler by the
time he was ordered to report on
October 27. both the local board
and state headquarters were re-
quested to grant a so day delay in
inducing Editor Swingler, but this
was denied.
Swingler is 81 years old and had
been with the Memphis World
practically since it's founding by
the late W. A. Scott in 1891 except
for n short leave.
AS yet, no one has been
to take V Editor Swingler's du-
ties.
In commenting upon Editor
Swingler's induction, c. A. Scott
said, 1.-THE organization, both in At
lanta, and Memphis is suffering
from a critical fanpower shortage"
and he regretted that the local
board and Tennessee state director
of ~selective service" did not show
more appreciation for the contri-
buttons the paper is making 70 war

He added lit shows further the
need for the inclusion Of Negroes
on the local draft boards in order
that true evaluation can be placed
upon men in essential civilian jobs.
