OUR READERS SAY
Says Mrs. Pratt Against
Stock Girl .JohS


Editor: I would like to congratu-
late the paper for running the
article of Mrs. Vera Pratt. It is
past the time for our girls to stop
being satisfied with crumbs from
the table. Until Negro women as
sumo some race pride and try to
take advantage of the opportuni-
ties which come their way, the race
will progress very slowly. I am
passing this paper with the article
in it on to others in the hope it will
do some good.
Sincerely yours,

Major Homer Roberts Sends
Final Message to Newspapers
Editor: Before signing off on this
job, the undersigned has planned
and is having prepared two features
which it is hoped will serve a good
purpose.
Number one will treat with the
present all-important separation
from the Army, showing "high
point" men going through the pro-
cess of being discharged. Number
two will have historical significance
in that it will show the Goldman
Field Army Air Base, which is the
only Air Base ever commanded and
stated entirely with Negro per-
sonnet.
