KIWANIS, LIONS CLUB SPEAKER tss?; ;. .Esa'
COLONEL LAUDS
PORT UNITS WORK

PORT UNITS WORK
Speaking before a joint meeting OF
the Kiwanis. Club, Lions Club, and
other service organizations OF Staten
island, N. Y, on July 5, Colonel F.
w. Huntington, Commanding Officer
of the Fox Hills Terminal, New York
Port of Embarkation, lauded highly
the work accomplished by Negro Port
Companies which are and have been
stationed there.
Units trained at Fox Hills" he
told the influential audience, have
served commercially, under fire, in
every combat zone where U. S.
Forces fight, and those which have
not yet gone overseas have contrib
uted greatly to the speedier ending
of the wal by helping to rush supplies
to front-line troops"
with the change in the war" Col.
Huntington said, no one can tell
what the future holds for Fox Hills.
But this | am sure Of, whatever the
colored soldiers are called upon to
do, they will continue to perform
their work in the fine manner as they
have in the past and will do an out
standing job"
In speaking of the debarkation
work which the Port Companies are
doing at present at the New York
Port of Embarkation, through which
most of the wounded soldiers return
ing from overseas pass, the Colonel
said:
The Negro soldiers who have ham
died these wounded men have done
their work in a gentle and compass
sionate manner. They seem to feel
nothing is too good for these men
who have given parts of their bodies
to make this country a decent place
in which to live" 1858 patients were
debarked at the Port in one day last
month, he pointed out.
Colonel Huntington, Brooklyn born
soldier, who rose to his present posi-
ton from that of a private in the
ranks, holds the Croix De Guerre, the
Silver Star, and other decorations for
bravery in the former World War. He
was Commanding Officer of the his
tonc Jackson Barracks, in New Or
leans, before taking up his post in
New York, November, 1914.

N aacPT To Re-
presented 477th
Officers in Trial
Jnly

Goldman Field, Kentucky-Lieuten-
ants Marsden Thompson, Shirley
Clinton and Roger Terry, the three
Negro officers of the 477th Bombard-
ment Group being held here for en-
tering a white officers club will be
represented by the NAACP in a
court martial trial, Monday, July 2.
Attorney Theodore M. Berry, presi-
dent of the Cincinnati branch NAACP
will defend the men who are charged
on the following four counts with
violation of the 64th Article of war:
~ DiSobeying lawful command of
the superior officer who ordered them
not to enter the Officers Club.
~ Offering violence to a superior
officer by the use of physical force
when such officer was carrying out
his duties.
~ Disobeying a lawful command
by a superior officer to leave the club.
"a Disobeying an order by a SUI
perior officer placing them under ar
rest.
The officers were originally con-
fined with 50 others at Freeman
Field, Seymour, Indiana. Release of
the latter group however, was ef-
tected after investigation at the field
and vigorous protests to the War De-
partment on the part of the NAACP
and other groups.

Omaha, Nebr., July 16-Nebras-
kans purchased a record amount of
War Bonds in the Seventh War Loan
drive, it was shown today when final
figures for the state were released by
the Nebraska War Finance Commit
tee.
All types of government securities
bought by individuals and corpora
tons during the campaign totalled
$184,472,157, representing slightly
more than 200 per cent of the states
overall quota Of 90 million dollars.
Sales to individuals, of which more
than so per cent were in e" Bonds,
totalled $85, 1856, 465, or 131 per cent
Of NebraSka's individual quota Of IS
million dollars.
The most outstanding feature of
the drive, according to War Finance
officials, was the fact that Nebraska
tied for seventh place in the nation on
! percentage of quota in e" Bond
sales. A total Of $49,418,221 of e"
Bonds were sold, representing lis
per cent of the states 43 million dol
lar e" Bond quota.
All but one of Nebraska's SO coun-
ties made their overall quotas. Sew
enty counties exceeded their individ-
ual quotas, while "a counties went
over their e" Bond quotas.
1t was a grand job and accom-
plished in characteristic Nebraska
fashion," said Dale Clark, Chairman
of the Nebraska War Finance Com
mittee. I'VE wish to thank the hun
dredS of thousands of Nebraskans who
made this record possible through
purchase Of bonds or by work as bond
statesmen with county war finance
committees"

INFLUENZA

Colds and influenza take
a heavy toll of vitality even
when the affects are con-
sidered light. It is common
upon recovering from sick
ness of this type to find
complications creeping into
the picture. Many people
have experienced the sue
cess of Chiropractic adjust
ments in assisting nature to
make a speedy recovery.
Hundreds have regained
their health by taking adj
iustments to correct compli-
cations that were becoming
serious. In acute sickness
body vitality must be nor
mally distributed if nature
is to successfully defend the
body against disease. It is
this principle applied to
colds and influenza that pro-
duce splendid results not
only in the correction of
the disease but in prevent
ing danger complications.
