After visiting the new trim
shop line on the fourth floor of
80 Bldg, we have come to the
conclusion that the brothers who
work in this department are all
subscribers of the Good House
keeping Magazine. We have re-
ceived a number of complaints
about dirty floors and windows,
but you cannot blame the broth
!. ers, because when this depart
ment was located in 110 Bldg.
the floors were spotless and the
windows shone like mirrors.

millwright department to chop
down a large tree that the "brass

his thanks.
We wish to extend sincere
sympathy to Ralph Tabbert
whose mother passed away last
week.
We also wish to extend our
sympathy to Harry Schroeder,
whose father passe daway.
Mr.. Dorrell and Mr.. Fadden
are guilty of violating the new
S. T. D. set-up in our plant. II
this system is to succeed it must
work on both sides. 1t Is the
unions business to know what
changes are being made before
you start picking out men and
placing them anywhere without
FIRST notifying the committee
man of the department. This is
also a strict violation of the
contract. Let's give the S. T. D.
a fair trial.
Our bowling teams are all set
up now and a meeting OF the
captains will be held next week.
We tried to get everyone on q
team but we just couldn't. But
don't feel bad. There may be
some openings before we start,
and we will always need subs.
Thanks to everyone for their
fine response.
Chairman Birtwhistle is on
his vacation and is reported not
doing so well. After readylng
his boat he went to the lake.
Upon dropping the boat in the
water he heard a strange noise.
There through the bottom of the
boat was a large rock. AT last
report, Ed was in hip boots. 1t
was a nice boat, too.
At our last meeting a So adj
ditional fine for suspended mem
bers was approved by the body.
Better check your dues books
now. If you don't approve OF
this you probably didn't heed
our suggestion and attend the
unit meetings. The vote was
unanimous.
We wish it to be known that
il was through no fault of your
reporter that there was no news
two weeks ago. Ollie Pecord,
the editor, who was on vacation
also regrets the omission.

Guard Properly
And Prisoners

Okinawa = Enlisted personnel of
the 4337th Quartermaster Service
Company, which is stationed on this
island, are at present engaged in
guarding and directing the use of
japanese prisoners of war, and
protecting American property and
goods.
The guarding, screening, super
vision, administration and eventual
release and repatriation of enemy
personnel, along with the guarding
of American goods are the primary
duties assigned to most of the Army
units still on this island
Gods must not only be guarded but
inventoried, inspected and packed
until the Army's responsibility for
them is discharged Also, here and
on other islands in the Pacific,
there is an enemy of property far
more dangerous than thieves. 1t
is tropical elements which mildew
and rot and destroy unless the ut
precaution is used.
Many of the Negro CTS joined the
4337th when it was activated in
July, 1914 and departed with it for
the ETC in February, 1945. They
served in England, France, Bel
quinn and ermany and were awarded
two Battle Stars for their service
with the First Army in its advance
through the Rhineland and Central
Europe
Following enlisted men are among
those in the outfit:
Staff Sergeant Johnnie G.. Dorsey,

Michigan, platoon sergeant; Cor
porals Tilghman E. Griffin, 1888

take the position that there should
be a Republication of teachers salar-
les and that no distinction should
be based upon race, creed or reli-
gion. We believe that the salaries
of teachers should be based upon
the type of work, the educational
qualifications, and experience of
teachers. We acll upon the authori-
ties to work out and put into opera
ton an equalization plan as soon as
it can be possibly done. A state
with surplus of nearly thirty mil
lion dollars should be able to put
into operation this equalization of
salaries Immediately
III. w efind that there are entirely
too many small schools for Negro
schools for Negro students. We feel
that the time for the one-teacher
public school has long since past.
Such schools are economically
wasteful, and should 60. There
should be more consolidated schools
which can be properly stated and
equipped. In the event there should
be a consolidation of schools, long,
er terms could be had, and proper
and adequate means of transporta-
ton of school children could be had.
We urge upon the school authori-,
ties to make a careful study of the
consolidation o NEGRO schools.
w. We are particularly interested
in the part which Negroes should
play in our state government. We
call upon all Negroes to be law
abiding citizens We call upon them
to pay every tax required of them
by law and to obey the law in
every respect While we are unalter-.
ably opposed to the payment of any
poll tax a sa prerequisite to vot-
ing, we do insist that the Negro
pay his poll tax, because it is law
of our state and we can not become
good citizens unless and until we
obey every law on our statute book

for the $4,000 fight tickets. Since
that time more than forty College
Home Economics directors have ac-
tivated their students
The contestants are limited to the
production of exhibits of crochet
ing, knitting, embroidery, or general
sewing and their work will be judg-
ed by board of internationally IA
nous fashion and sewing authori-
ties. Among the prominent Ameri-
can authorities being approached
are Elsa Maxwell, famed syndicated
columnist and woman's authority,
and Adelaide Hawley, noted radio
commentator and fashion editor
The National winner in each divi-
sion of the campaign will be selec-
ted on June 18th, in New York
City. Originally it has been in
tended that the finals would be
held at the Hotel Theresa; but be-
cause of the heavy registration Of
contestants the sponsors are seek
ing larger quarters 1t is also be-
coming evident that it will be nee
cessary to hold regional elimina-
tions-possibly at some of the larger
Colleges-because of the heavy re-
gistration.

until such law is repealed.
V. All Negroes who are eligible
for registration should do SO imme-
diately and as often as required by
law.
vi. T ODE good citizens one should
and must use the ballot, for only
by the proper use of the ballot can
citizen protect his property and
elect competent and suitable Off
GERS to handle hi saffairs. The pro-
per kind of officers to handle the
affairs of this state or nation is of
much concern to any minority
group, and especially the Negro
group.
WI. Thousands of Negroes from
this state have gone to war to fight
for their country, and for the liberia
ton of oppressed people all over
the world. Many of these Negro
soldiers have fallen on the battle
fields of foreign countries and will
never return to our beloved Ameri-
ca. Yes, they have paid a supreme
sacrifice. Those of us who remained
behind have done our full share
to hasten the end of this great
war, and to perpetuate the ideals

Okinawa - Officers and enlisted
men of the 4465th Quartermaster
Salvage Company who have beer
on this island since the early stag

operations which are saving the
Army untold thousands of dollars.
The outfit is charged with re-
claiming mountains of Quartermas-

thereby making it unnecessary for
the Army to send similar supplies

of America Now the war has been
won, not by any one group, but
by all groups working hand in
hand, doing whatever job that was
necessary to reach the goal. We as
Negroes have right to expect, and
we do expect that the laws and the
ideals of America shall be interpret
ed and enforced with equal justice
to ALL
VIII. We realize fully that Missis-
sippi has within its ranks many
liberal minded men and women of
tn ewhite group, who really want
to be of help to the Negro and to
see that the Negro gets justice in
the court, fair settlements, and be-
come worthwhile citizens of this
state The Negroes of Mississippi
are justly proud of these good men
and women. Negroes in Mississippi
want to live in peace and in har-
mony with the members of the
white group. We recommend that
the Negro leaders and white lead
ers confer with each other more
than they have done before, and
frankly and honestly discuss the
various problems which confront
both groups.
TX. There is growing need for
Negro Policemen in al Towns and
cities in which there is a large
Negro population.
x. The opportunity for Negroes
to enter into the business and the
professional field in Mississippi is
unlimited. There is scarcity of
doctors, dentists, nurses, pharma-
cists, and lawyers We recommend
that this committee make a deter
mined effort to get qualified Ne
groes to enter the above fields in
Mississippi
XI. We recommend the raising of
fund of not less than ten thousand
dollars ($10,O0O to be used for the
purpose of carrying out the OBJ
jectives which we have herein sti-
pulated.

the railroad and bus transportation
situation as it pertains to Negroes.
We regret to say that while rail-
road transportation facilities for Me-
groes are bad, bus accommodations
and facilities are, to put it mildly,
In many of the bus sta
tons there are inadequate rest
room facilities thereby, causing Ne
gro men and women to use the same
toilet facilities. Bus drivers are ha-
bitually discourteous and apparently
hostile to Negro travellers, and in
many instances actual violence has
been resorted to by bus attendants.
We hereby call upon the bus and
railroad transportation authorities to
correct these disgraceful conditions
II. We have carefully considered
the salaries paid to Negro teachers
in the various cities and counties
of Mississippi. We much admit that
in the past year or two, some Slight
improvement has been made in this
respect. But due largely to the poor
salaries paid Negro teachers, quail
fled and competent teachers are
hard to find. We find that there is
quite a difference in the salaries
paid unto Negro teachers and white
teachers for the same character of
work even though Negro teachers
have the same qualifications as the
white teachers. We unhesitatingly
