veterans organizations, the hous-
ing situation, used-car markets,
discrimination. etc., and as far rs
we are concerned, makes pretty
good sense all the way through.
Mauldin always was good friend
of the Nisei in uniform remember
his cartoon showing the disabled
combat infantryman. wearing a 34th
Division patch, getting the brush
off from a super patriotic barten-
der?), and his remarks on the Nj
sci veterans will interest our read
ers. Referring to the Tooth anc
the 442d, he says:
"Some Of the boys in those
outfits were from the West Coast,
and some from Hawaii. A great
deal has been written about their
prowess, and I won't go into de-
tails, except to say that, TO my
knowledge and the knowledge of
numerous others who had the op-
portunity Of watching a lot Of
different outfits overseas, no COM
bat unit In the army could exceed
them in loyalty. hard work, cour-
age, and sacrifice. :"
"A lot Of us who were In Italy
used TO scratch our heads and
wonder how we would feel IL we
were wearing the uniform Of
country that mistreated our IA
miles. Most Of us came to the
conclusion that we would be pref
ty damn sulky about 1t, and we
marveled at those guys who didn't
sulk but took positive attitude
about il and showed more char
acter and CUTS per man than any
ten Of the rest Of us. As far as
the army in Italy was concerned,
the .Nisei could do no wrong. We
were proud to be wearing the
same uniform"
speaking personally, 1t gave us
lot of satisfaction to read such
words from man like Mauldin
Incidentally, the book, "B a C
Home, is illustrated on almost ev-
cry page with one of the writer's
characteristic cartoons, and we
highly recommend Mauldin's latest
work to all veterans and those who
are interested in how a veteran
feels.

The Foxonians of Depart ment 623 are making a genuine effort to contribute largely to the Negro College Fund. Miss Beatrice Fox Auerbach has con- tributed $500 to the fund to date. This sum was given sep arately from the drive within Department 623.
 The Inspector Wrappers are now engaged in their drive. Each person is asked to con- tribute two dollars. The drive will end with a, recital at the Bushnell Memorial. Russell Moore, well-known tenor, will be the guest. This is a small contribution to a great cause.
 Miss Ruby Singleton, who is assistant supervisor to the In- spector- Wrappers, will be mar ried to MT. H. Thompson on Saturday, April 26. The bride will be given away by her fath- CT. Her sister, Estelle, of Hart ford, will be maid of honor.
 A reception will be held at the Newington Country Club following the ceremony.

We'll, Richard did it again !! I must say that if he doesn t stop opening the door to all of these clubs, we poor young peo- pie will perhaps have to stop following him around. This week we followed Richard to Waterbury where we ventured into the Club 99. We noticed that the crowd was jumping to the music of Gene Nelson and his Trio. Gene, who was known overseas as Gula, fea- lures Lenzy Wallace, on guitar, and Joe Galloway, on bass, with you know who on the piano, the one and only Gu la". Gene and his Trio are appearing every Saturday and Sunday mites down at the Club in Waterbury and I must say that they are really on the ball with their assortment of all types and kinds of music. So Kids, I hope that you won t forget the Club 99 which is To- cated on Pearl Street in Eye olde town" of Waterbury. See you all there next Sunday.

Teen Age Fashions By Lucy M. Smith
Ii Fashion Bugs,

LII II dSl11OA DuSS1
 And how are you? Still lead ing your cool and conservative life, good. We'll, I do know you re still dressing "kool.''
 By the way, youngsters, did you get a load of that sharp gown modelled by Gloria Jenk- ins.. It was quite attractive in deed. It was a Grecian affair with one shoulder bare, fiared skirt, and a big hustle trailing behind. It was out of this world and put most of the males there too. Just think how nice and complete 1t all could have been if Burton Lowe could have made the happy couple at the coming Senior Reception in his black suit, white shirt, black tie, and black shoes. It was a new East CT suit I understand.
 Most of the boys will be com ing home from overseas and, from what they write me, I know they will give you "squares' a long road to travel in the way of clothes.
 Have you seen the black crepe skirts they Ire showing ? Make sure you take a gander at them. They are really out of-this-world. Some are draped on the side. Others have three gores in the back and tie in a soft bow in the front. Jean Davis has one that she sports with a fine blouse. Still others have a sort of draped effect in the front but in the back it has a hustle. With a zipper in the rear that really sets it off.
 The two-piece cotton dresses they are showing really make you roll your eyes around two or three times. The ones with three-quarter sleeves are tops.
 For boys, they are featuring fine pastel shirts. Most are made without buttons. They, more or less, criss-cross in the front. But they do look most cool with those dark pants and black shoes that we like to look at. Have you seen those fine brown and white shoes? Be lieve 1t or not they're made of pre-war rubber. The boys will look just like those fine college lads that breeze into Hartford during the summer months.
 So sorry!!! - Miss Jeanne Anderson, as you all know, is ill. Make sure you drop in to see her or drop a card to 61 Mahl Avenue. (L.M.S. )
