FIVE NEW MEAT, FAT
STAMPS WILL BE
VALID SEPTEMBER 1ST

Five new ration stamps for meats
and fats and a new sugar stamp
will become valid on Saturday,
September l, it was disclosed this
week by Chairman A. A. Roebuck,
of the Rankin County War Price
and Rationing Board.
Red Stamps o. through U2 will
expire at midnight on Friday, Au-
gust 81, Mr. Roebuck reminded,
and said that red stamps Ii
through Q1 would then become
good and remain SO through De-
cember 81.
The board chairman called es-
pecial attention to the fact that
OPA is skipping Sugar Stamp No
81 and that on Saturday, Stamp No
38 becomes valid for five pounds
of Sugar through December 81.
Last year, people were required
to attach Spare Stamp No. 81 te
their applications for canning SUI
gar and many attached Sugar
Stamp No. 81 by mistake" he ex.
planned.
Mr.. Roebuck said that for thi.
reason, it was deemed wise just te
skip Sugar Stamp No. 81, since 81
many folks had already used it il
error.
He added that Sugar Stamp No
36 will continue to be good fol
five pounds of sugar until mid
night Friday.

Negro Troops
Contribute To
Pacific Victory

Washington, D. C.-Ever since
December 8, 1941, when Private
Robert H. Brooks became the first
member of the Armed Force, and
probably the American Army, to
lose his life Fort Stotsenberg in
the Philippines, Negro soldiers
hive contributed blood, sweat and
tears to The cause of freedom ill
the Pacific.
Ever since April, 1912 when
swarthy Negro Engineers stream
ed ashore from landing craft to
whip out steel crpets on New
Guinea for the reception of planes
of the 10Th Bombardment Group,
Negro soldiers have assisted ma
terially in avenging the infamy of
Pearl Harbor, perpretrated by the
Japaneses less than. four months
earlier.
The oath Infantry was the first
all-Negro combat unit to face the
Nipponese when it landed in the
New Georgia Islands two days be-
fore the Battle of the Coral Sea.
May At, 1912. Men of this organi-
zation have been singled out by
the Inspector General of the Army
for their exceptionally meritorious
conruct in routing the enemy from
Saipan in the Marianas.
On December l, 1912, Negro
soldiers were included in the first
contingent of American troops to
arrive at Ledo, in India to con-
struct the famous Ledo( now Still
welD Road. Utilizing handful of
bulldozers and a fleet of dilapidat-
ed British lorries, the Negro Engi-
neers had pushed the road Is miles
into the Patkais by January l,
1943.
AS early as January %, 1943, ten
Negro units, ranging from Engi-
neer to Chemical Warfare outfits,
had been commended by General
Macarthur for their courage,
spirit and devotion to duty" in ex-
pelling the enemy from Papau,
New Guinea.
For extraordinary heroism dis
played at Pordoch Harbor, New
Guinea, on March 8, 1912, Private
George Watson of Birmingham, Al
ALBANIA, received the Distinguished
Service Cross posthumously. Since
that time the number of decorated
soldiers of color has become le-
gion.

There's been nothing sensa-'

believe, because the Board OF
Supervisors took note Of it
Thursday and demanded action
from the Sheriffs and Building
Committees.
The board also got embroiled
in an equalization argument
somewhat complicated, we adj
NIT but it boils down to
whether or not each county tax
ing unit is paying its just share
OF the county-at-large bill.
When it came to vote, Mount
Clemens and north-end units
we're beaten by the rich South
Macomb industrial area, and
the Bath City is threatening an

charter makers have inc0rpor-

to a city manager chap and
let him run things; a real
broadening of our charter.
This will be voted on prob
ably in November so
you'll certainly come home

Construction Jam

Creation of an interagency com.
mittee on construction ITO breal
numerous bottlenecks blocking the
proposed home building program o.
100000 units" was urged on Wal
Mobilization Director John w. Sny.
der today by the National Associa.
ton of Home Builders.
Joseph E. Merrion, association
president, explained the function ol
such a committee would be similar
to the activity during the early par
of the war in getting the synthetic
rubber program under way.
Just as william Jeffers was sue.
cessful in accomplishing this i'm.
portant objective, so must an indi.
vidual from the construction indus
try be found who can do a similar
job" he declared.
Mr.. Merrion stated that unless
OPA ceiling prices and War Labor
Board restrictions on wages are in
creased there will be an insufficient
quantity of lumber. brick, gypsum
lath, soil pipe and plumbing and
heating equipment, and many 9TH
er components of construction will
not be produced in adequate
amounts to meet the demand"
The official added that. although
priorities for 100000 units will be
made available during the next Il
months only 61,500 houses now are
under construction. LESS than
1000 units per week are being start
ed, since materials and items Of
equipment necessary are not in the
hands of distributors and-more Sc
rious-are not being produced"
Better CO = operation between
building materials manufacturers
lending institutions and home build
ers also is required, Mr.. Merrion
said.
