The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1944-03-11
Marines At Key
Base In South
West Pacific

(The following story was writ
ten by Sergeant John R. Hurley,
formerly of 1856 West 109th Street,
New York City, and 1908 North
Vine Street, Hollywood, California,
Marine Corps Combat Core
spondent)
Somewhere in the Southwest Pa
cific-(DelayeO = Negro Marines
are undergoing almost constant air
attacks as they help man this is
land, key supply base for Amer
lean forces fighting the japanese.
The Negroes, trained at Camp
Lejeune, New River, North Caro-
lima, received their baptism of fire
at Guadalcanal, where ships they
were aboard were raided by Jap
planes.
From Guadalcana1, they moved
into more active combat zones. Jap
anese bombers made regular night
ly runs over the areas but the Ne
gro Marines grew accustomed to
the air raids.
Coming from all parts of the
eastern and southern United States
and the first Negroes to be re-
cruited by the Marines, they are
part of Americas fighting forces
in the Southwest Pacific area.
There are two groups, one COM
manded by Marine First Lieuten-
ant Cade Strickland, of Kentwood
Louisiana, and Marine Captain c.
Apperson, native of Atlanta, Geor-
gia, who resides at 318 Broken
braught Court, New Orleans, La
Lieutenant Strickland recently re-
placed Marine Captain Jason NJ
Austin, of SOS Bland Avenue, Bal
timore, Maryland, as commanding
officer of one of the groups.
Trained as infantrymen with
some later specializing in antiair-
craft artillery, other special wea-
pons and tanks, they are nearly
all volunteers. Retaining marked
good humor and spirits under the
trying conditions imposed by re-
moteness and tropics, they contin-
ue to work hard at their assigned
duties, taking the good with the
bad.
The former cooks and clerks, me-
chanics and drivers, carpenters and
farmers are from Alabama, Missis-
sippi, New York, Michigan, Flor
ida, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania
Georgia Alabama, Illinois, Arkan-
sas, Virginia and California. They
average about 20 years of age.
There is friendly competition in
boxing, volleyball, softball and in
musical and singing contests wher
duties are completed. They have
set up their own rings and courts
One singning group, the Rhythm
Kings, who double on spirituals ano
popular songs, is composed of Ser,
geant James p Harper, of 201s
South Street, Philadelphia Pa, lead.

adelphia Electric Co.; Corporal

BROTHERHOOD TOPIC
OF GUILD MEMBERS

National Brotherhood Month was
discussed by Mrs. Leonard Menzi
in. leading the devotions for the
Priscilla Guild OF the Congregation
al Church at the home OF Mrs. II.
S. Allison, Wednesday evening
Mrs. Menzi said I'VE believe that
the fight for democracy on the
home front, is part of the fight for
democracy on the foreign front. If
the war does not achieve racial,
economic, political and social
equality for the negro and all OF the
darker races, 1t will have been
fought in vain, and will be only a
prelude to more terrible war be-
tween the colored and white races
OF the world
The treasurer reported a balance
Of $106.34 on hand. Announcement
was made OF the World Day of
Prayer, Feb. %, at st. Lukes
Church. The Congregational Church
is planning for Chinese tea for
Apr. q when Mrs. Menzi's parents
will be present and speak.
Announcement was made OF the
Fellowship dinner, Mar. 5, follow
ing church.
The committee for the evening
was Mrs. Allison, Mrs. Carroll Cur
It's and Mrs. Philip Waiting.
