Red Cross Provide
Music for Negro
GIs In Italy

Foggia, Italy-The natives in a
lonely fishing village near here on
the Adriatic are getting accustom-
ed to the syncopation of jam ses-
sions in a deserted scholhouse
where the American Red Cross has
set up recreational facilities for
Negro soldiers.
Mildred A. Fortson, Oberlin Col
lege graduate, who also attended
the University of Michigan and
Ohio University, believes that mu-
sic and the soldier go together, so
she is providing all kinds of melo-
dy here in southern Italy, where
she was recently assigned by the
Red Cross.
The deserted schoolhouse was
the only building large enough to
take care of the space problem, so
she had the classroom walls knock
ed out to make one large ballroom.
The smaller rooms upstairs provid-
ed for reading, crafts, and musical
instruments. The army orchestra
plays for dances three times a
week and, in between, Mrs Fort
son varies the juke box tunes with
good piano music which she plays
herself.
Even more important is the large
room set aside for the would-be
musician who can enjoy the in
struments and sheet music in a
corner overlooking the sea, where
his amateur efforts disturb no one.
To offset the hot, sticky weather

most duplicated this feat against
the strong Wilmington club. He
allowed but one single scratch in

in the fourth inning.
The Star was informed by tele-
gram from Coach Earl Brinkley
that Williams had pitched a no hit
game. However the Wilmington
scorers recorded Gibson's infie1d
grounder a hit, when the Column
bus shortstop did not error the ball
and Gibson beat the throw to first,
Coach Leon Brogden said last
night that he gave the single to
Gibson and remarked Il don't see
how the play could be scored any
other way" The coach then went
on to explain that Gibson's slow
roller was fielded perfectly by the
Whiteville shortstop and a good
throw made in the attempt to catch
him at first. "Gibson beat out the
nit for an infield SINGLE" Brogden
said.
The telegram from Coach Brink
