Bond Issue Plan

Opposition to the plan to
finance the proposed 100000
city-county building by a bond
issue was expressed today by City
Controller Oakman, who recon-
mended substitute proposals to
the board of county auditors.
Oakman told the board that
the municipal debt commission
did not approve Of bond issues not
safely within the Is mill tax limit
and expressed doubt that the pub
lie would buy the bonds under
those conditions,
He suggested that Wayne
County voters be asked to raise
the tax limit for five years or
that the financing be handled on
a pay-as- you-go basis.

Hon. S. W. Miller, widely known
churchman and civic leader, and
one of the city's most successful
contracting painters and interior
decorators has been appointed
Special Chairman, 4th War Loan
Drive, Negro Division, of the Kinds

last week by Mr.. R. G. Kenning-
ton, Director of the Kinds County
War Finance Committee, and Mr..
E. w. Banks, permanent Chair
man, Negro Division, Kinds County
War Finance Committee.
The appointment of MIR. Miller
to this high responsibility will be
applauded by the entire city. and
comes as fitting recognition of his
outstanding ability as an organizer
and conductor of campaigns for the
purpose of raising funds for civic
purposes.
AS Chairman of the opening cam
paign for the purpose of raising
funds for the United Service Or
ganizations, and in the campaigns
recently closed for the United Com
munity and War Funds. Mr., Mil
Ter demonstrated his ability as or
ganizer and leader during both
campaigns by having the groups
which he headed raise more money
by direct solicitation from Negro
citizens that had even before been
raised in the city.
While the Kinds County quota
for the 4th War Loan Drive has
been upped by $1O,O00,00O, the
quota for the Negro Division has
not yet been announced but with
the appointment of Mr.. Miller as
Special Chairman, from every
source there has come expression
of confidence that whatever quota
is announced will be reached.

Negro Squadron In Italy
Ends Year With 236 Missions
Over One Thousand Sorties
Famous 99th Fighter We're
Under Command Of 1t. Col. Davis

Army Air Force Headquarters,
North Africa-In its six months of
operation on this side of the At
lantic, the 99th Fighter Squadron
has flown 236 missions of 1,156 sor-
ties Gas of December 21, 1943)
with the loss of four pilots, two
by enemy action, the War Depart
ment announced today.
The squadron left the United
States on April 2, 1943, and two
months later flew its first COM
bat mission-a bombing raid (skip-.
bombing) against gun positions on
Pantelleria.
Fifteen of the original 28 pilots
of the 99th Squadron are still on
the job, with nine veterans" now
back in the United States to help
train others. Nineteen replace
ments have come in since Septem-
Der.
Now past the experimental stage,
the squadron continues to set speed
marks in maintenance, like chang
ing an engine in just over six
hours. When the outfit was in the
United States, it held the best
maintenance record in the 3rd Air
Force for months with a daily av-
erage of IS to 90 per cent of planes
flyable.
Pilots of the 99th have done ev-
cry type of fighter plane work, but
most of their missions, as at pres
ent, have been close support bomb
ing for the British 9Th Army.
Their score against enemy planes
one for certain and several prob
ables.

THIS N THAT
BY Your Rowing Reporter

This week, our rowing took us
down to the USO-TRAVELERS-
AID LOUNGE, so conveniently To-
Gated in the Illinois Central Sta
stion and where the petite and
charming Mrs. Thelma Sattler
with the aid of a fine group OF
volunteer hostesses, is rendering
such a magnificent service to the
travelling men of our armed forces
i. and it was here that we learn
ed from Mrs. Sattler of the very
fine and generous way coIored
Jacksonians had at Christmas time
contributed to the pleasure of the
travelling soldiers, sailors and ma
rines by providing over 100 gifts
to be given to them +. In addition
to the gifts, punch, fruit and nuts
were served by Mesdames M. Wash
ington, w. Miller and E. Williams,
USO-T. A. hostesses And, for
all these acts of kindness, Mrs
Sattler wishes to express the sim
cere thanks and appreciation of the
entire personnel of the Lounge.
In reply to an inquiry made by
us concerning the Information Desk
that had, under the auspices of
the Travellers Aid, stood in the
Colored Waiting Room at the L
c. Station, from October, 1912, un-
til May, 1943, and which desk had
been a source of very valuable in
formation, not only to military
travellers but to the general travel
ing public, we were told that the
only reason this desk wasn't in op-
GRAFTON now was that sufficient
number of volunteer workers could
not be obtained and, because
we feel that the re-opening of this
information desk at the station al
once would give to all travellers q
service that is inestimable, we take
the liberty here of appealing to
the good women of the city to go
down and offer themselves for at
least two hours of volunteer SER
vice at this Information desk q
week 1t was learned that a reg
ular staff of IA volunteer workers
could keep the desk open for two
hours each day from three to five
o'clock.
AS we all know, anyone travel

80 Percent Infected
Selectees Re-
claimed For Army

Of the $4,000 registrants found
by Selective Service examinations
to have syphilis, $4,000, or about SO
per cent, have been placed under
treatment, stated DR.. E. E. Merse
of the State Board of Health, Ven
eral Disease Control Division, re-
vealing that already from II to
$4,000 have been inducted into the
armed forces after they had re-
ceived adequate treatment.
1--WE anticipate that within the
next four to six months" said he,
''our clinics and private physicians
will have made it possible for
about 80 per cent of infected Sc
lectees to be reclaimed for use in
the service"
Revealing that Mississippi has
the nations second highest rate of
syphilitic infection among regis
trants, DR.. Merse pointed out that

States, the nation was better pre-
pared for the march of the crippler
than ever before, through the gen.
erosity of the American people,
Negroes and white, whose dimes
and dollars helped to stem the
