PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: A great deal of talking
and planning is going on every
where, now about the V-Day Cele-
bration when the Germans holler
the final "camerade," which we
hope wont be long off. What is the

over our fish and beer 1t appears
that some of them want to kick
up their heels and have a rousing
good time on that day, and then
there are those who think that the
celebration should be done in the
church, in prayer and T'hanksgiV-

don't need to say but l do say
that when V-Day comes l hope
that we Parish Streeters will be as
careful as possible that nothing
went happen that veil set off il
bad feelings among colored AND
white folksI That means that we
have got to plan 30 be on the
lookout for those who might come
down in Parish Street to nave
some fun. In the meantime, as one
fellow suggested, the Negro lead

deep and important thought, and
with efforts at adequate police
