bers slips there.

windows.
There's such a nice amount OF
closet space" said Mrs. Miller.

Public Housing Authority, turned
over the apartment to the Millers.
He reported 12,548 persons are on
waiting lists In this area for public

over the apartment were Brig. Gen,

ing general of the Military District
of Washington; Federal Works Ad-
ministrator Philip B. Fleming; Col.
D. S. Roysdon, assistant chief OF
staff, Ga, of the military district
and other officials who viewed 1t

Each apartment is costing the
Government $500, In addition tt
$3.50 for utilities. The partitions
which separated the dormitories inte
long halls with 8x6x10-foot cubicles
had to be removed and replaced
by new partitions, and new en-.
frances had to be constructed.

SUNSHINE"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. Oh! how I hate to get up in
the morning, after enjoying a good
cool restful, peaceful sleep. For
several years I have been trying
to make it up in my mind, which
I enjoy the better, sleeping or eat
ing. When I think of sleep. I am
reminded of the plesantness of a
nice full stomach. Then just relax
and build air castles. Just then
isn't life just beautiful. Well, Bilbo
is well again, his mouth is sound,
the cancer is healed. He is now
ready to take up where he left
off. Wonder what did he think
about when he was so close to the
valley the shadow of death, while
lying in the hospital which was
founded and built by a Jew as
sisted by Negro laborers back in
the first century. I wonder? Have
you seen the painting or picture
of the man on a horse on top of
hill, with his head hung from
WEAKNESS at sunset? It was in a
float heer in the Rodeo parade
and it won first prize by one of
the large department stores. It is a
picture with IA deep meaning. The
time comes in each of our lives
when we feel we have reached
the end of our trail, the soul turns
weak and the strongest faith wav-
ers. Regardless of your position in
life the height of your ability, your
aims, your desires, your creed color
or age. From the time we are able
to talk and walk our trail begins
an ends when the last breath
leaves us. Those times come; They
always have and always will. Even
our elder brother Jesus, who said,
II am the Way" at times reached
the end of the trail, when he went
into the Garden of Gethsemane he
said before entering, "my soul in
exceeding sorroful," to his diciples.
He went in there to pray because
it seemed he was at the end of his
trail. We don't always see too far
into the future, maybe it is best
that way. But we can look back
over our errors and mistakes, and
gain new wisdom and courage with
the turning of each page in lifes'
history. Each of us think our trail
is harder, rougher and shorter
than anyone else and our problems
are "a supreme disaster. When we
look around us we find others just
a little worse off than we. Don't
dispair, you can take it. Go into
the garden as Jesus did, and call
on that source of never ending
supply and the trail will become
a smooth, wide bright never end
ing road. Don't forget to spread
Sunshine as you travel along the
trail.
Bye now-So long-Until then.

AWkard Squad

We have in the army, what is
known as the awkward squad
This squad is set aside for those
who are too dumb, slow or back
wards to learn the science of mill
tary activities. Members of the
awkward squad will form a SER

progress of an organization, if al
lowed to drill in rank or file OF

The Afro-American; here and
elsewhere, flutters, aimlessly, like
a brainlesS candle fly, on the outer
edges or suburbs, of the greatest
productive era, ever recorded in
the history of man. Yet, he (Afro-
American) forms no part of such
productivity. I hear someone say:

AmericaniSm, properly defined,
means: prosperity and AN energetic
improvement in every walk of life.
Adventures, explorations, pioneer
ing, an exchange of new for old

invaluable results of a healthy

how many Negro veterans of
world war II, think or dreams of
parceling out piece of virtuous
soil of sparsely settled Alaska?
Judgement from the past and
knowing the non-pioneering dis
position of the Negro: doubt, if
one out of ten thousand could be
found entertaining such ideas.
Thousands upon thousands of wide

youths, of world war No. 2, are
daily sending for pamphlets, maps
ETC., so as to learn, locations, con-
