AT AN ISLAND BASE IN THE
WESTERN PACIFIC, July 10. -
Two Key West Coast Guardsmen
with a habit of doing things to-
|gether for most of their 24-year
lives are now a fire-fighting team
at an advance Pacific ISLAND base.
They are Motor Machinist's
Mates, second class, William r.
Schoneck, 1101 Seminary street,
and, third class, Harland F.
Weech, AIS William street. To-
gether they serve on one of two
Coast Guard-manned,i 40 foot
fireboats protecting this vital
port with its harbor swarm of
ships and waterfront facilities.
The boats, squat and potent,
are of entirely new design, have
a beam of IA feet and make IL
knots. Equipped with four Chry-
sler-Hale pumps, they are cap
able of blanketing flame with
2400 gallons of water a minute
from eight outlets.
For Key Westers Schoneck and
Weech there is a double job to
perform. While tending their
boats diesel engines, they are
also trained fire fighters ready
to assist in tackling the hottest
ship and shore front blazes.
With eight others in their
crew, they were schooled as a
unit at the Coast Guards Man
haitian Beach, Brooklyn, N. Y.
From there after numerous trial
SPINS and drills, they were sent
oveseas with their boats on a
landing ship.
The island over which they
fireguard was itself the scene of
one of the Pacific's bloodiest
campaigns. Schoneck and Weech
hope as the fighting moves closer
to Tokyo's doorstep, they can
move with it.
Same age, graduates of Key
West Public High School, and
pre-war employees at the Naval
Operating Base, Weech enlisted
in the Coast Guard July %, 1912
and Schoneck followed him 16
days later. Weech is married to
the former Miss Wilma LaVerne
Russell and is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert Weech, while Scho-
neck'S parents are Mr.. and Mrs.
w. j. Schoneck, all of Key West.

A local realtor, member of a
firm that has sold more realty in
Key West during the present ac-
tivity than any other agency,
said to a Citizen representative to-
day, "Things are slowing up in
the real estate field"
He walked on for a moment,
and then added, up on the keys,
though, the realty market seems
to be getting better"
What he said about conditions
in real estate activity in Key
West has been evident the last
two weeks. With two or three
exceptions during that time, most
of the big sales have been on
what we call the keys.
At Marathon the market is re-
ported still to be good. That place
is growing rapidly, and the

For All of This We Fight
By David D. Horton, Hq. Co, 372nd Inf.

When the horrors Of war have vanished,
And the skies of freedom are bright,
We will look up at the clear blue Skies and say;
That is why we fight.
That is why we stormed the shore
And fought at Normandy:
That is why drove the foe
From the Island Of Sicily
That is why we fought and died,
In the mud of Italy,
That is why we fought with pride,
On the soil of Germany.
That is why we sent supplies
To aid the fighting Chinese
That is why we gave our lives
For the islands that seized.
Yes that is why we bombed Berlin,
And the city of Tokyo:
And that is why we continued to send,
Our bombs to crush the foe.
And that is why we shall continue to fight,
Ihroug hout eternity.
/ o protect the freedom skies SO bright
From the brutal enemy.
We pray that throughout eternity,
Our flag will safely fly,
That forever live our liberty,
For all of this, we die.

The startling announcement that
the beloved President, FRANKLIN
DELANO ROOSEVELT, had died on
Thursday afternoon, April 18th, set
tied an aura of sadness and gloom
over the New Cantonment area.
The following poem by Paul Law
renee Dunbar most effectively states
the Negroes feeling toward Mr..
Roosevelt, and our concern for the
future:
Thou arrant robber, Death:
COuldSt thou not find
Some lesser one than he
To rob of BREATH
Some poorer mind
Thy prey to be?
His mind was like the sky,
AS pure and free;
His heart was broad and open
AS the sea.
His soul shone purely through his
face,
And Love made him her dwelling
place.
Not less the scholar than the friend
! Not less a friend than man;
The manly life did shorter end
| Because so broad it ran.
| Weep not for him, unhappy Muse;
His merits found a grander use
! Some other where. God wisely sees
The place that needs his qualities"
Mere words are SO inadequate to
describe the bigness and graciouness
Of our departed friend. Our one
consolation is the fact that:
ctr ere is no Death
What seems SO is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose portals we call Death"

Homer s72nd Infantry


The WAC and Soldiers Council
were hosts to the 372nd Infantry on
Sunday at "Open House" from 6 to
9 p. m TIE evening began with a
program with Babe Wallace as NC.
We all know Babe" and there is
never any doubt in anyone's mind
when he takes over the show. Pvt.
Kershaw took the show as usual
with his reading of Hello God"
written by a soldier in the 92nd Di-
vision while he realized he was
dying This poem was sent to the
soldiers mother and has since been
used on a number of occasions. To
say that it was most impressive is to
put it very mildly The reading was
given from behind stage and the
beautiful music played by Sgt. Hug
gins was a perfect background.
Others appearing on the program

and several other numbers. Pfc.

mean ability and received many en-
cores to his rendition. Sgt. Higgins
was as always entertaining with the
songs, This Love of Mine" and Say
a Prayer for the Boys Over There, +"
done in his unique style
No doubt the audience was Won
dering throughout the program why
the back stage curtain was kept
closed. There was an ulterior mo-
tive, you can rest assured The stage
was set for the dramatic perform
ance of when Billie Comes Home, 3"
by Pvt. Kershaw and Pvt. Hattie
GrimSley. The show is playing on
Broadway in New York and portrayS
the life Of a soldier who loses his
sight overseas and returns to the
States, asking his finacee to break
the engagement because of this. She,
not knowing he is blind, tells him to
go = tells him how unfair he has
been to have her wait and then not
want to marry her AS he is leaving
he StumhleS and falls. In this way
she finds out that he's blind. The
most dramatic scene is where she
asks his forgiveness for unjustly ac-
cusing him and tells him how being
blind doesn't alter her love for him.
This scene was just the right tofie
for the finale of the evenings pro-
gram.
Following the program the group
enjoyed delicious refreshments. The
center table was adorned with a
beautiful cake bearing the inscrip-
ton "Honoring 372nd Infantry. :"
Even the trays of deviled eggs had
372nd Infantry written in olives.
Just trays and trays of attractively
decorated food, punch and cakes
with all different shades of icing
We're enjoyed by guests.
A movie called Tender Comrade'
completed a very full evening for
the members Of the 372nd Infantry
and members of the Post Compile
ment. The WAC and Soldiers Coun-
Gil were quite pleased over having
planned such a successful and
eventful day.

NO BRITISH CHANGE ON
COLONIES, OFFICIAL SAYS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (APN)
A high British official of the CO.
lonial offices says there is not like
ly to be any change in policy toward
the colonies simply because of the
Labor party's ascendence to power.
He is Sir Gerard Clausen, per-
manent assistant secretary of state
for colonies, who is here with the
mission headed by Ambassador
Lord Halifax and Lord Keyes to
discuss financial and economic
matters with this government. Sir
Gerard is advising Sir Percivale
Liesching on the economic phases
# the talks as they may affect or
involve the colonies.
"There will be no change" he de-
clared, because the colonial office
has been out of politics for the past
20 years. It stands to reason that
the hope Of both sides is to promote
she empire and the colonies and to
help toward self-government a.
quickly as they can get there"
He said there is "no ground for
argument" although there may be
differences as to the precise ar
rangements for achieving the ends
sought, but as he asserted again,
Il don't think there will be any
change. :"
He did see possible a slight
change in emphasis, explaining
that whereas the Conservatives un-
der Winston Churchill may have
been interested more in one phase
of colonial development, the Labor

Several schools, located in stra-
tegic geographical areas of the
country, plan to provide better edu-
cational facilities for Negro nurses.
They are Freedmen's hospital,
Washington, D. c.; Meharry Medi-
cal college, Nashville; the Medica
college of Virginia, which includes
the st. Phillip Nursing school for
Negroes; Florida A. & M. college,
Tallahassee; Tuskegee institute !;
billiard university, New Orleans ;
Hampton institute and Wayne uni
versity, Detroit.
"Such schools as Harlem and
Lincoln in New York, Homer G..
Phillips, St. Louis, and Kansas
City General are among those con-
lected with large hospitals where
experience and personnel are avail
able for improved programs" the
article disclosed.
Enrolment of Negro nurses
showed a 1876 per cent increase dur
.ng the year over 1889, with about
$500 Negro students enrolled in
schools of nursing all over the coun-
try. Around 1000 of them are
members of the U. S. Cadet Nurse
corps.

ties under Clement Attlee may fa-
vor another emphasis.
At present, he said, the govern
ment is doing all it can to improve
the colonies under the new Colonial
Development and Welfare bill. This
measure was originally passed in
1910 and carried an ALLEGATION OF
500 million year. This was raised
last spring to new figure of $3.50
million for a 10 year period.
In coordinating the care and
movement of displaced persons in
the area, Edward will be dealing
with delicate problems in Greek
Bulgar-Turkish relations,
Sir Gerard has been with the CO.
lonial office for rs years and has
seen the growth of policy over that
period. He is primarily in charge OF
economic matters in that office,
which began with one-man stay
and has grown considerably in the
years since until now it is a major
division coordinating economic pol
'cy in all the colonies.

GREATER EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEGRO
NURSES IS PREDICTED

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (ANP).-
Employment opportunities f o r
Negro nurses in America will be
greater in the postwar future than
before the war, according to Mrs.
Estelle Massey Riddle, R. NJ, and
Josephine Nelson, members of the
National Nursing Council for War
Service Inc, in an article written
for the August issue of the Ameri-
can Journal of Nursing.
The recent advancements for
Negro nurses are due largely to war
pressures and to the co-ordinated
efforts for betterment centering
in the NNCWS, the article points
out and adds that even if ending the
war Immediately meant pushing
herself back ito her prewar
status" the Negro nurse would
have done so because her philoso-
ply is built upon the relief Of hu-
man suffering.
At least 1000 Negro nurses are
now employed for the first time in
history in 26 voluntary local hos
pitals. But in public health, where
the need for Negro nurses is far
more evident than in hospital serv
ice, the council hears frequent re-
ports of racial barriers. New York,
Detroit, Chicago and Washington,
D. c., the article reveals, have set
patterns in advancing the Negro
nurse to supervisory positions in
public health service.
The two nurses, Mrs. Riddle and
Mrs. Nelson, based their prediction
of the Negro nurses future upon
two sets of circumstances. The first
is war pressures upon the overall
nurse supply, which doubtless alone
would have broken down, at least
temporarily, some of the barriers
which the Negro nurse had been
facing" The second, they pointed
out, was "the work which the Ma
tional Nursing Council for War
service has been doing to stimulate
and guide the integration of the
Negro nurse in the total war eff
fort"
