supply and Service Detachment

The OrientatiOn Meeting, Supply
and Service Detachment, began with
p news analysis of the preceding week
as usual. Paris, City of Light" was
mentioned in its symbolic aspect
Mention was made of new Allied land
lngs in southern France. The second
period consisted of a discussion of the
provisions of the "GI Bill of Rights" 5"
paying particular attention to tuition
for education, hospital privileges
loans and Veteran eligibility. The con-
'cluding portion of the class was given
over to a showing of divide and Con-
quer," a film portraying Nazi tech
nlque in conquering a nation with the
least amount of effort in the shortest
possible time: first, propaganda as to
peaceful Intentions; second, the send
ing in of fake tourists" who plot
sabotage and organize fifth columns;
thirdly, planting of suspicion and dis
trust leading to riots and struggle of
faction against faction; finally, the
attack itself. The extent of thorough
preparation characteristic of the Ger
man High Command was emphasized,
and the organization of the panzer
formation made clear. Also proving
interesting was the way the separate
functions of parachute troops, tanks,
diveNbombers. fighter planes and in
fantry were synchronized into q per-
fecly functioning team.

Signal Construction CIs
Keep Communication Open

WITH THE 18TH AIR FORCE
SERVICE COMMAND, Italy-This
is the story of one of the first Negro
Signal Construction Battalions to
go overseas, an organization COM
posed of men who, prior to their
Army training, knew nothing of
telephone communications beyond
going down to the corner drug store
and dropping nickel in the slot.
Commanded by Lieutenant Colo
mel Matthew H. CASTOR, of Jackson,
Georgia, the battalion has made an
important contribution to the sue
cess of Major General Nathan Twin
ing's 18th Air Force in its offensive
against European targets by quick
and efficient installation of COM
munications between AAF7 combat
and supply centers.
Operating under the Fifteenth Air
Force Service Command, the bat
talon installed and maintained
1900 miles of open WIRE 500 miles
of field wire, and 100 miles of cable
in their first four months in Italy.

There will be more margarine but

will be happy with more citrus mar
malade and peanut butter even though
the overall supply of jams, jellies,

The citrus fruit prospects are very
good, potatoes are abundant, and
good crops of most of the other vege-
tables are anticipated, You can ex-
poet more onions after April.
Eggs, now plentiful, are likely to
remain that way for at least six
months.

YOUR JOB AND MINE
BY S. NJ. Harvey

Daily we hear complaints coming from employers big
industries IN essential war work as well as IN little busi
nesses such the cafe the corner and they all
in the vein 1--WE can't get anybody to work or
people don't to work these days and because
realize that among these hundreds of people who just don't
want to work there many Negroes and because we
feel the great need of having these people wake up and
realize that before in history did the Negro have
greater opportunity to better his economic conditions we
offer the following article from the July 1914 issue of
Pulling Together for editorial comment this week:
The Negro worker is of being able to stand
prosperity He gets rich in hurry. Ii he has dollar
in his pocket he doesn't the need of working to get
more dollars Because of this attitude Negroes stay off the
job more than any other group of workers.
Staying off the job is nuisance in normal times
Right now, abseneeism is almost crime Placing mil
lions of the armed forces to protect national well
fare has left behind the home front work to be done by those
left behind ANY worker who shrks on Job stays
home trfng excuses who refuses accept his part
OF the nations responsibilities now is not worthy to be
called American.
"Such worker will deserve no consideration in our
postwar The who sticks to his guns under fire
is the fellow who deserves the reward when the shooting is
Whatever claims the Negro worker will be able to
make his government in the future will depend to
large extent on his job behavior right now"
AS plans be made for the postwar group in the
world should be concerned about his part in these
days to than the Negro No group should realize
than that is the time to work for the jobs
hope to in the future
Many jobs opened to and never money
more plentiful After the this will not be so-there
will be a~o OF people who want the job that you are hand
ling carelessypeope who will be given every consdera
ton before you If good worker you will have
It has been said that "A mans work is his greatest
blessing It his living 1t is his education for his chill
ren health for his family food for his table; peace from
worry 1t happiness and security in the future
Every should feel proud of his job and should do it
to the very best of his ability"
And in closing offer readers the following:
A Workerman's Prayer
Lord make me good worker. Let me do my best this
day. Help to remember that when waste time | am
stealing money from the who hires well as hurt
ing my chances for holding down my job
During this war, please Lord make feel that every
day counts Don't let be lazy Don't let stay in bed
when should be my job Please, Dear God, make me
Understandable the out there facing death looking
to to give them the things that fighting chance
for them to live Let not fail them Let be
this day! Let me do good job! Amen
