Macarthur Medal
For Boy Scouts
Summer Gardens
ground, July 5

Backing up President Truman's
appeal for more gardens, the ma
tons Boy Scouts are embarked
in program to raise half million
gardens this summer. AS the war is
now centered in the Pacific, home
front attention is conferred on the
growing food crisis here and
abroad.
The Boy Scouts of America with
its membership of 1,916,637 boys
and leaders, are furnishing SUBJ
stantial part of the additional man
power needed by farmers and COM
mercial producers. Last year more
than 100000 Boy Scouts worked on
farms, and several hundred thous-
and Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts had
their own gardens. Many groups of
scouts went out from towns and
cities on "day hauls" to work on
farms, returning at night.
The national victory garden in
stitute has obtained Gen. MacAr-
thurs interest and is offering on
his behalf Gen. Macarthur medal
to those scouts who do an outstand-
ing job with their individual gar
dens Those winning this honor will
need to successfully cultivate, care
for, harvest and put to good use a
reasonable variety of products from
gardens at least 400 square feet in
size.
The 400 square foot requirement
was arrived at on the basis that. it
represents a big enough job to war
rant special recognition and that it
is a large enough garden to be a
major factor in the food for free
dom program. Each garden will be
inspected by competent adult and
the awards will be made not for
sbest" gardens but on the basis of

Enlisted Men And Officers
Contribute SlO.22l to 1916
Negro College Fund Campaign
Money for War Time Needs Of
81 Privtae Accredited Colleges;
Tougaloo College On List

AS an indication of their interest
in Americas future, Negro enlisted
men and their officers in the arm
ed forces of the United States have
already contributed $10,220 to the
1915 United Negro College Fund
campaign for the war time needs
of 80 private accredited colleges
and universities, it was announced
this week by T. A. Morgan, national
chairman.
The significant thing about this
gesture is that $500 of the amount
has been sent from overseas Mr..
Morgan pointed out. Letters re-
ceived at national headquarters in
dictate that Negro soldiers on battle
fronts throughout the world are
giving serious thought to their fu-
ture."
In many instances, according to
the letters, contributions for the
college fund have been collected at
special chapel services where Ne
gro education has been the subject
of discussion.
Many of the men of this batta-
lion,' wrote the special service Of
ficer of the 784th Tank Battalion,
have already shown an eagerness
to take advantage of the post war
educational opportunities under the
BI Bill and will attend some of the
colleges that participate in the
fund"
One of the largest contribution
received was from the oath Infan-
try, a Negro unit fighting in the
South Pacific theater which sent
a check totaling $4,52313. Four com
panies of the 18TH Engineers Avia-
ton Battalion in the same theater
contributed 81, 1879.
In the European theater, officers
and men at Headquarters of the 41st
Signal Construction Battalion gave
| ST, 06228 and from the 6O7th Ord
nance Ammunition Company $232.55
was received.
During the 1915 United Negro Col
lege fund campaign the importance
of providing adequate educational
opportunities for the returning Ne
gro veteran in schools associated
with the fund has constantly been
stressed. Approximately 10000 Ne
gro soldiers intend to enroll in col
leges and other educational institu-
tons above the high school level
following discharge, according to a
recent army survey.
Other fund contributions from
the armed service include: 1534th
truck company in the Pacific, $134;
members of the 892nd engineers
aviation company, $21483; Quarter
masters service companies at In
diantown Gap Reservation, Pa,
$25O.83; Copany B, 4th medical bat
talon, 4th infantry, $500; head
quarters. 267th quartermasters bat
TALON, 1912.
Also, members of the 707th medi-
cal unit, $7720; the 394th quarter
masters truck company, $2262O; CT
ficers and men of the headquarters
of the 87th chemical unit, overseas,
$125. Enlisted men and officers in
the various branches of the armed
services have made individual gifts
ranging up to $780,
Negroes in the armed forces con-
tributed $4,000 to the fund in last
years campaign. On the basis of
the $10,220 received thus far, it is
expected that 1915 armed service
contributions will surpass the 1914
total
