Library Notes

Black Boy, by Richard Wright.
is the moving and terrible story
of how a negro boy grew up in
the South. 1t is the story of
Richard Wright's own life-not
fiction, but the record of how
things were with him, set down
straight. AS such, it is a book to
challenge the thinking of the ma
ton.
What kind of America. the
reader may we'll ask, are we
building for ourselves when such
things as are set forth in this
book can be- And when we take
them so much for granted that
we are hardly even aware Of
their existence until a talented
and honest writer like Richard
Wright makes US see them with
fresh eyes and understand them
for the first time?
Richard Wright wrote this
book out of the strong necessity
of his own experienee-and it is
a document of simple sincerity
and tremendous power.
Black Boy stands second on the
non-fiction list of the most wide
ly read books all over America
for the week ending May 10th,
as polled by one of our largest
newspapers.

Tense of their own which wasn't
too tight because the outfit had
to cover a lot of ground.
The sun went down and the
moon came up. The men tight
ened their grip on their rifles,
intensified their alertness toward
the north, strained to place every
sound. Suddenly, through the
salt-tainted air floated the strains
of "I1l Be Back In A Year, Little
Darling" II stopped. Then Gene
Autry burst forth with San An
tonic Rose"
Pfc. Thomas L. Gould of 1l04
f. Taft street, Pascagoula, growl-
ed at his buddies, T/Sgt. Harri-
son Porter and Pfc. Charles E.

Hapkens, Mimi, Those blank

LIST 1t. Jerome w. Strickland
of BIT West "a" avenue, Glen
dale, Ariz., moved in. Who in
the devils giving a concerto"
"Cripesl | don't know" an
swered Sgt. Porter. Whoever it
is sure is a blanking Autry fan"
The Autry program began to
repeat itself now. The melan-
choly strains of western ballads
floated over the position.
At a word from 1t. Strickland,
Pfc. Bruhn began to move out in
an effort to spot the source of
the music. He stopped short just
as his legs went over the edge of
the position. well, I'll be a
banking monkeys uncle" he
breathed. Back in the position
he told the Lieutenant: There's
two Japs back there, Lieutenant,
with a portable monograph.
That's what's making the rack
ct"
They all looked. There, seated
next to a small monograph were
two Japs, plainly visible in the
moonlight, playing one record
after another. They had gotten
through the loose defenses. The
concert continued until 2 am.
when the Japs folded their
monograph and quietly stole
away.
you see" concluded Lieut..
Stricklend, about the time we
discovered the source of the mu-
sic, all hell broke loose out front.
We were busy in that direction
and we couldn't be bothered
with the Jap Special Service Sec
ton"
"As long as they kept playing
we knew they wouldn't bother
u.s." said Pfc. Bruhn.
From about midnight, until 2
am, the Japs tried to break the
perimeter but were moved down,
the attack shattered.
II can't say l particularly en-
ioyed the selection of tunes they
played during the battle. Some
thing a little more swingy would
a been more appropriate, |
think complained Pfc. Gould,
"Oh, l don't know" reflected
TfSgt. Porter. 1T was awful nice
hearing those ripe old western
