.Honored Soldier
Makes Plea For
College Fund

speaking for my buddies VINO
are still over there Sgt. Jerry Da-
Wis, first Negro soldier to be award
ed the Legion of Merit, appealed to
all Americans to support the cur
rent United Negro College Fund
campaign during an interview at
the funds national headquarters
last Tuesday, May Is.
The war has shown Negro SOL
dlers the Importance of education. ?
said Sgt. Davis, and thousands of
them are planning to 60 to college
under the CT Bill of Rights
When Sgt. Davis visited fund
campaign offices at 38 East 57th
street, New York Ciy, he was met
by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. advi-
sorry committee chairman; Thomas
A. Morgan, national chairman, and
group of press photographers and
reporters.
Sgt Davis, whose home town is
Macon, Ca, was wounded by Ger.
man shrapnel while attempting to
bring rations to his gun crew dur
ing the battle for Pisa.
He said that his own plans for
an education include enrolment at
one OF the 80 private schools asso-
clated with the United Negro Col
lege Funds nationwide campaign
for $l,55O,0Oo.
The wounded soldier, an artillery
man with he 92nd Division, told OF
the exploit which earned him the
coveted medal almost at the cost
of his life.
Last August 80, his artillery
battery had been pinned down for
IL hours by intense enemy fire. In
order to get food for his outfit Sgt.
Davis raced across a shepp swept
open area to mess ruck 800 yards
away. He secured the food but on
the return trip shell exploded
ten feet away and he was hit by
a piece of shrapnel Forty-five min
utes later Sgt. Davis underwent a
Az hour operation and received z
blood transfusions. The shell splin-
ter shattered his left arm, cracked
hree ribs, fractured his spine and
injured his spleen, long and kid
neys.
He has been in seven different
army hospitals and his left arm is
still in sling and he walks with
a cane.
On the subject of education Sgt
Davis expressed the belief that
many of the returning Negro SER
vicemen will take advantage of the
Servicemen's Readjustment Act.

Rights, to continue their education.

The snow melted as fast as 1t tell
