OPINIONS OPINIONATED
THE 90 coIumn)

By JAMES ECERT ALLEN

The autumnal season, to me
is far from the saddeSt season
of the year. After a summer of
inaction, it is refreshing to
look ahead and plan to be pre-
pared to spring into action. On
the initial day of October, it
was my pleasure to present the
lovable and understandable
Charlotte Carr to a Harlem
audience.
With her wealth of social ex-
perience she has brought to the
work of the Political Action
Committee a zest for achieve
ment and a passion for justice
to all people. Serving as a
regional director of the COM
mittee, her influence mas
touched thousands in the EN-
pire State. Bearing a message
of hope, she has awakened
many Americans to a sense Of
their civic responsibility cur
ing these crucial days.
The third day afforded an
opportunity to view an inter
racial exhibit in art. Over tea
and cocktails, an interesting
throng mulled over the paint
ings, prints and etchings of ar
tistic minds forgetful of race,
creed or national origin. Under
such a natural setting, one is
compelled to realize the ire
mendous possibilities of human
beings enjoying things cultural
and refining.
Day number five carried me
to Chinatown. The occasion
was the dinner of the New
York chapter of the East ana
West Association. The task as
signed me was a resume of
things being done by individ-
uals, groups or government to
improve the general walfare of
mankind. Then came two able
speeches by DR. Sinclair, preSt-
dent of the University of Ha-
wall and Mr. Plumber Mills, a
missionary of long standing in
the land of the Chinese. d.
Sinclair discussed the grand
contributions made by people
of Japanese descent in the wal
effort, many Of them former
students in his institution. Mr.
Mills, son of a Presbyterian
minister and a Southerner by
birth, described the hopes Of
China and the responsibility of
this nation in seeing that they
are realized.
The seventh day of the
month found me on my way to
camp far up in the Ramapo
Mountains where nature WIS
grand. Leaves of variegated
colorS made the woods a thing
of beauty. Golden apples
hanging from laden trees whet-
ted the appetite. A roaring
log fire at night. eating in the
open, wandering around the
hillside and slumbering in a
silent cabin made life worth
living. The return to the city
on the following day BROUGHT
a pang of sorrow. Memorial
services for a departed friend.
Bowed heads as I read the
poems Of men who had suf-
fered so. Resigned faces rs
the words brought forth belief
in immortality.

Beyond the reach of man the blazing sun
Reduced to a mere ball Of regal hue,
A rare phenomenon, shedding upon
The Watery canyon, crimson meath the blue
While breathessIy in rapturous wondernens,
Along the skyline with its golden haze,
Nature in all her glory and intent
Broke out into fantasy Of praise
Under this spell the moments quickly seed
Alike the rippIes on their flowing bed. q

I see that the Ralf Coleman
Players are threatening to hit
the spotlight again, and I ad-
wise you to follow the GUARD
IAN for the first release OF
their dates, SO that you can
make a big mark in your date
book. Ralf, who is one of my
many adopted sens, is too well
known to need much in the
way t a boost from me. AS a
director of plays ne is known
over a wide section o. the
country, and when he puts the
plays ION their feet" they
LIVE. Watch. for the date.

Many call me radical, but 1
still believe that there is too
much pretense and formahty
in this country, and that goes
for public performers. 1t seems
to be the object of many per-
formers to bewilder the audi
ence and send them away
wondering what it is all about.
In the first place. singers who
Go not give me the words have
wasted their song on me. When
they essay foreign languages,
and at the same time exhibit
unfamiAarity with the pronun-
citation and gramlner OF the
United States language, I feel
that they are built upon very
insecure foundation. I would
like to sc performances which
are patterned after the radio
style, where you know what 1t
is all about, and don't emerge
from the hall with a feeling
that you have irst come out Of
an ice-box. Democracy Is the
watchword Of our country, Just
now, and the stage should fall
IN step.

From Africo
Into France

WITH U. S. FORCES IN FRANCE
Landing in North Africa on April
Is, 1943, entering Italy on March 8,
1914, and France on September %,
1914, the 384th Engineers General
Service) Regiment, has been a great
factor in the move of the American
forces into southern France, and
are now a part of Lieut.. Gen. Alex
ander M Patch'S Seventh Army
which is battering its way through
AlSace-Lorraine.
The unit trained at Fort Bragg,
North Carolina, where they were
side-kicks of the famous 41st Engi-
neers of Fort Bragg, and entered
North Africa at Iran, while the 41st
went to the island of Corsica, the
birthplace of Napoleon.
In Italy the 384th constructed
barricade emplacements for landing
training for the U. S. forces which
were to invade southern France. A
testimonial to their work is found
in the revelation that when Ameri-
can troops hit the beaches of south
ern France, they found there en-
placements and entanglements iden-
tical with those constructed for their
pre-invasion training by the 384th
Engineers on the Salerno beach
head in Italy. They surrnorrnted
them easily
The units iS now in southern
France, and has moved up to a
point well near to the area of Lieut..
Gen. George S. Patton's Third
Army, which has just taken Metz
and crashed through to the German
border. 1t is doing depot work for
the Seventh Army.

ficer as he related facts about
the newest Post front victory
over the enemy.
The achievement is doubly
notable because in reaching her goal,
Fort Huachuca also reached the NSC
goal Of 95 per cent participation and
Is per cent of pay reservations for
civilian employees.
Never Lacked Confidence"
The War Bond officer stated that
he had never lacked confidence in
the loyalty of Huachucans to meet
their goal successfully; but that he
had known moments of anxiety dur
ing the early progress Of the drive
Three rallies added the stimulus
needed to quicken tagging purchas-
ers into action, and the marvellous
cooperation of the Service and Sup
ply Division, under the leadership
of Col. Joseph L. Brooks, which sold
$33, $4,000 worth of bonds, although
its allotted quota was only S22 ,5000Ol
was also big factor in the success
of the drive.
Other organizations which outsold
their quotas were the Civilian Per-
sonnel Branch, which sold $4,000. .Od
worth of bonds, with a Quota of ST. !
10000 (made possible through an in
dividual purchase of $25 10000; the
Post Engineers, which outSold their
quota of $22,500O0 by selling total
of $24,9000O; the Post Exchanged
which sold $16,375.00 with a quota of
$12,07500; Post Headquarters, with

of the goal. Notable among them was

Voried Activities
Make Xmas Merry
For All on the Post

Activities on calendar for
the personnel of Fort Huachuca
during this holiday season are
as varied and numerous as any
soldier or civilian may avail
themselves of anywhere.
Perhaps the one most large
ly attended will be the Copper
Bowl football game, which will see
conveys from Fort Huachuca, miles
long rolling from the Post to Doug
las, Arizona, Sunday, December "a
carrying thousands of soldiers and
civilians to the stadium there to
watch the 372nd Inf. team play
against the SOU grid eleven in the
last football clash of the year. Char
liable impulses of Douglas and Fort
Huachuca u t h ortiz e S, combined
with the anxiety of the two teams
to play each other again, led to the
scheduling of the game, along with
the desire of Douglas citizens to see
their renowned Copper Bowl again
used to fulfill its purpose.
Seats for enlisted men and women
will be only fifty cents and will in
clude the transportation to and
from Douglas. No arrangements have
been made for the transportation
of officers and civilians, but as most
of them have private cars, they are
expected to turn out in large num-
berS. The game is scheduled to be-
gin at 200 p. m.
Children'S Christmas Party
Saturday, December %, will be
Children's Day, for at 200 p NJ,
at the Parade Ground near the Post
Flag pole, Childreh's Christmas
party, with Santa Claus and all the
trimmings will be held.
The program of the party is as
follows: Invocation by Rev. I. Snow
den; Christmas songs, Post Band
Calesthenics Drill, pupils of both
schools; Christmas carols, children
of both schools; remarks by Post
Commander; "God Bless America, -
sung by all; benediction
If not delayed by the gasoline
shortage, Santa will arrive at the
conclusion of the program with
presents for every boy and girl who
attends school on the Post.
Religion Not Neglected
Catholic Worship Services on Sum
day, Christmas Eve, will begin with
Mass at 7:3O A. M. Confession will
be held at $50 and $3.50 P. M, and
High Mass at midnight. On Christ
mas Day, Low Mass will be held at
800 A. M. All of these services will

the Award Review, Saturday,
December e, by pledging al
legiance to the Flag.
The combined bands of the
Sou 1922 and the 372nd In
fantry Regiment, resplendent
in white helmets, white belts and
leggins, sounded off and the Color
Guard and officers section advanced
to the stand for the rendering of the
National Anthem.
After General Shedd inspected the
troops, the Post Commander, Col
Hardy, addressed the participants of
the review, lauding the heroic deeds
of those who were decorated and
stressing the need for unity of all
Americans. His speech was one of
high idealism and reverently voiced
the hope that the land would eventu-
ally know true democracy"
Mrs. Ollie Davenport, widow of
1st 1t. Oscar P. Davenport, and MI
John Aira, father of the late Sgt
John Aira, advanced to receive dec
orations of the Bronze Star, poSthu-
mously; while Sgt Lew E. Davis,
Fort Huachucan, stepped forward to
be awarded the Legion of Merit
medal from General Shedd. After
the awards were made, "Taps," in
echo, was sounded in honor of the
valiant heroes who had died for
their country.
Troops of all Fort-based detach-
ments then passed in review before
the stand where the dignitaries were
seated. They were led by 1t. Col
c. F. E. Nelson, with Capt. John
Holland as his adjutant
They consisted of Shiny-helmeted
MPs from both the Infantry and
Sou, the Headquarters Detachment
Medical Detachment, Officers Sec
ton, WAC Section, Indian Scouts
and Company "E' of the 372nd In
fantry, under battle dress arms. The
58-piece band, led by Warrant Off
Ger Richard Graham, formed in mid
field and played continuously dur
ing the review.
The recipients of awards were
honored by the Post with luncheon
and were guests of football game
at the Wells Memorial Stadium in
the afternoon. General Shedd, Com
manding General Of the NSC, press
ed for time, boarded plane fol-
Fort Douglas Immediately after the
ceremony.

Remarks of Post c. O.
AT Ceremonial Review
Saturday, December Is.

''It is an honor to us for Fort
Hutchuca to be selected to furnish
the background for the presenta-
ton of two Bronze Stars and one
Legion of Merit. 1t is a particular
pleasure and honor to have General
Shedd, Commanding General of the
Ninth Service Command, take time
out from his many important du-
ties to come to Fort Huachuca to
personally present these awards.
One Of the persons to be decor
ated is of the Negro race; one of
the Syrian race and one of the,
AngIo-SaXon race, but they are all
Americans.
Symbolic Ceremony
II seems, therefore, to me that
these three persons represent, in a
limited way, a ross-section of the
citizenry of our country and that,
the setting for this ceremony may
be taken as q symbol of the ideals
and principles upon which our ma
ton was founded. The ideals of our
country are SO high and the COM
pleXities of human relationships so
numerous that we all should know
that it will be difficult to ever at,
tain their complete realization.
However, we can be encouraged
by the progress that we have made
and We should continuously rededi-
cate ourselves to these ideals with
the hope that from generation to
generation We shall continue to i'm
prove to the end that we may be-
come truly democratic nation ac-
ceptable before God and all honor
able people"

Fort to Train
For Overseas
By Ernestine Hughes, WAC

For the first time in the his
tory of the United States,
Negro WACs have been called
to aid democracy in the active
theatres of operations and ten
Fort Huachuca WACs answered the
call, putting Fort Huachuca, the
largest Negro military Reservations
in the world, on the list of ''firsts'
again. These Negro women were Sc
lected after having served their
country faithfully for more than two
years.
Smartly attired in "a" uniforms,
with yellow scarfs and gloves, they
were serenaded by the Post Band
early Monday morning, just before
boarding bus that conveyed them
to Hereford, Arizona, from which
point they were to take train east,
where they will spend 15-day fur
loughs prior to going to Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Georgia, for preparatory
overseas training. Col. Edwin N.
Hardy, Post Commander, gave the
group a brief departing message en-
couraging them in the step they have
taken, and personally congratulated
each WAC while shaking her hand.
This is another patriotic step
taken by the Negro women of Amer
lea, and it was taken voluntarily
