GUN CREWS of Tan Yanks
served in the past world war and
there were eight Tan Yank field
artillery outfits in France and
four others in Italy. There we're
also sepia anti-aircraft gunners,
according to historian Arthur
FUR. And in the Civil War
there were a dozen heavy ar
tillery regiments of color and
ten light artillery regiments, ac-
cording to historian ]. T. Wilson.
So, Tan Yank gunners have a
long enviable record.

! have frequently expressed my
admiration for trail blazers--for
those who do not bind themselves
to the beaten path. l feel that the
plan of he CREATOR is Evolu-
ton, continuous, speeding us on
to perfection. I respect tradition
to some extent; but nothing in
mans present state, nothing in
the earth's present state. but will
soon be relegated into oblivion. to
make way for improved condi-
tions. That means that some of
us are bound to be trail blazers.
Some men are licensed by the
CREATOR to promulgate truth
and men in all walks of life are
so commissioned. This present
writing was inspired by my re-
view of the latest brain-child Of
William c. Handy, we'll known as
the composer of "St. Louis Blues.
and regarded as the trail-blazer
of blues songs. This song is
sacred, entitled They That Sow
In Tears" a setting of part Of
Psalms 1875. The song has decid-
ed merit, and it is different in
that one can detect Handy" in it.
! fell for it with bang, and adj
wise singers that it is definitely
worth looking over, and if you
are not afr,Nd to add something
new, unique, different, add it to
your repertoire. May Handy con-
tjEue to work in the field where
the CREATOR has put him, and
where he has done so much to
inspire his fellowmen with
harmony and rhythm.

THE GREATEST ART
by Myles Connolly
Author of ''The Bump Brannigan's Head'
It's one that every person can master

affect the lives of those about them without even
being aware they are doing it, winning no COM
mendaton, expecting none.
Everybody must at one time or another have
known such persons - strangers, as we'll as rela-
tives or friends - who have changed the quality
of the day for him. They come into room in
dark hour sick room, say, or death room,
room without hope, or merely in an hour when
we are lonely or discouraged. They may say
little, if anything But the shining quality of
goodness radiates from them, from their mere
presence, and where there was dark there is light
or the beginning of light; where there was cow
ardice there is courage; where there was listless
ness there is love of life.
IHEsE friends and relatives - or wonderful
strangers, met at picnic, in lifeboat, in

Ball players have rabbit ears, -
Greenberg explained. TRY as

players to develop an aversion for
fans. One boo can give a player
the false feeling that most fans
are against him.
