the necessity of borrowing half a

Cont. From Last Week

MORE OF THE STORY - By
Pfc. VIM. A. Johnson. of his COM
pany, the 4188th Quartermaster
Company, formerly Co. &c" of
the 543rd Quartermaster Bat
talon. The participation of the
company in recent major in
vasion of the Netherlands East
Indies, which sparkled in all the
headlines, won for the unit the
honor of being farther advanced
in this theater than any Negro
outfit prior to the invasion of
the Philippines.
The 41S8th Quartermaster Co.
is becoming a well known name
throughout the Southwest Pacific
area. Because of its Quartermas-
ter operations it must be content
ed with the denial of it's true
glory. 1t is forced to sit back
and play little brother to he In
fanny and other combat units,
and let them enjoy the credit,
and praise, which it is equally
if not more than entitled to. This
has no effect upon these boys,
their only objective is to do the
job, and do it well to speed this
old war to a victorious end, and
make 1t possible for everyone to
again assume the usual Ameri-
can way of life.

INDIAN GIVERS

No one in his right mind would
hand a soldier a bullet or a gun
he needed and then take it away
from him. We do not send planes
and tanks overseas, tn n ship
them back before they can go
into battle. Yet every time any
one of us buys a war bond and
then cashes it in, we are step
ping back from victory as surely
as il we took bullets and guns
away from soldiers and recalled
planes and tanks.
January is bad month for all
of us. Bills and income taxes
must be paid, and there will be
a certain temptation to cash in
a few assets, such as war bonds.
But what are our difficulties
compared to those of the men
and women who are fighting TINS
war for us? How can we excuse
ourselves if we withdraw our sup
port from them because of our
homefront discomforts or wor-
ries? Don't be Indian Giversl-

Don't Put Tin Cans
In Garbage Containers

Garbage men may be instruct
ed not to collect any garbage
containing tin cans in the near
future unless the salvage of tin
cans by Seattle housewives is
stepped up, Bill Muligan, tin can
salvage chairman of the Seattle
Civilian War Commission, de-
clared last week.
Since tin is needed so desper-
ately by the war effort and since
Seattle has fallen far below last
years total, it may be necessary
to have garbage collectors stop
taking any refuse containing tin
cans.
Although Seattles' population
has increased materially during
1914, the total tonnage of tin
cans collected has dropped from
1870 tons to TIA, Mulligan said.
Every tin can rusting on a gar
bage dump means that much less
ammunition and that much less
medicinal supplies for men over
seas.
1T isn't too much to ask citi-
zens," Mulligan said, ito save
something they'd ordinarily
throw away. Surely, each Seattle
housewife can save at least fou1
tin cans a month as her personal
contribution towards winning the
war. If each housewife would sac.
rifice the few minutes it takes tc
wash and squash four cans pei
person, Seattle would average
about two million cans a month
instead of approximately $1,000
Cans will be picked up from
schools north of Jackson on Jan.
uary "a and from schools south
of that area on February IA
Housewives are asked to save
their prepared cans till shortly
before the collection date and
then take them to the nearest
school 1t is the tardy housewife
who hustles with her cans to the
schol grounds the days after the
collection date who creates the
impression that cans are not
picked up regularly.
