Sterrett was not chosen primarily
because he was Negro" he added,
"but because of the qualifications
he possesses to do the job assigned
to him. We are sure that he will
fill the position with distinction"
1t. Sterrett was wounded while
serving with detachment of Ne
gro soldiers in North Africa. H S
release from the army was the re-
suit of those injuries. His first as
signment in the United States was
with the 366th infantry at Fort
Devens, Mass, now attached to the
92nd division in Italy. Sterrett OBJ
tanned his divinity degree at Bos-
ton Theological school, and also OBJ
tained a masters degree at Boston
university.

ing that if Negro nurses meet the
requirements they will be given the
same consideration as white appli-
cants."
Recalling that four weeks ago
Surgeon Gen. Norman T. Kirk of
the war department had made a
statement regarding the acceptance
and use of Negro nurses wholly
contrary to the departments policy
and practice at the time, reporters
here sought confirmation from
the navy with regard to the Ag-
new comment. The reply was this ::
There is no policy in the navy
prohibiting the appointment of Ne
gro women in the navy nurse corps
or in the navy nurse corps re-
serve. Every application reaching
the bureau of medicine and sur
gerry for appointment in the navy
nurse corps or the navy nurse corps
reserve is given full consideration,
provided the applicant meets the
physical, professional military fit
ness and other requirements for
appointment"
The development follows in the
wake of persistent public criticism
which has been levelled at both
branches of the armed services of
recent, spearheaded by the Ma
tional Association of Colored Grad
uate Nurses, and accentuated by
the urpent appeal for more nurses
that have been issued by the army
and navy.
The navy's statement did not
mention how or where accepted
Negro nurses would be utilized.

MARCH PACK MEET I5HEkD BY CUBS ON
 MONDAY EVENING
Indian Lore Studies Will Be Carried Out C0m-
 ing Month

Despite indictment weather, the Cubs and Den Parents and Chiefs turned out almost 100 per cent for the Pack meeting last night.
 Exhibited crafts show that there is a good deal of talent among the boys. Roy Peratrovich displayed some paintings that would do jus tice to an adult attempt at brush yielding. The Cubs of Den Two meeting at the home of Mrs. LeRoy West, made some stilts better than usual. Dick Keithahn exhibited a buzzer and pot-holder that he made.
 Honorable mention was given to Den Five which meets at the Elton Engstrom home on Gold Belt Avenue. This Den is making great strides forward in it's program of providing entertainment and in structive work for the boys. Three cheers for a wide-awake Den Chief, Cliff Cole, and some enthusiastic Den Parents, say club officials. All Cubs were disappointed by the announcement that the Bobcat badges were not available for dls- tribution at the meeting. Plans were made for a special Pack meet ing in the event the badges arrive during the next week or two.
 The Cubs will have their first outing next Saturday. They will, 50 strong, take their lunches and hike to the first ski-cabin proyid- ing the weather is good.
 The theme for the entire Pack for the next month is INDIAN LORE. We expect to see as the re- suit of this theme. a large variety 'of crafts on display at the next Pack meeting It is hinted that there will even be one or two little plays forthcoming. The lineup fol- lows.

 by Rector Webb


 On Good Friday, between 12 o'clock noon and 3 P. M., the Rev. w. Robert Webb will conduct the Three Hour Service" on the seven last words of Christ from the cross in the Church of the Holy Trinity.
 The three hours have been di- vided into seven similar parts plus Gn introduction. Each part has an address, a period of silence, Scrip ture passage, a response reading, and a hymn. The seven last words are: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Uuke 23 :34 To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise" duke 23:43), "Wo- man, behold thy son!" Behold thy motherr tJohn 19:26-2D, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46), T thirst" (John l9:28), Tt is finished (John 19:3O and Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" Guke 23:46).
 The meditations will be conducted in that order. Although many per- sons will wish to be present during the entire three hours that Christ upon the cross, others will find it due to pressing sched- ule. In order to accommodate this latter group the service has been arranged so that persons may at tend for short periods of time and may enter and leave as necessary.
