OF Military
Jim Crow

NEW YORK, Jan. II - Heads
of the nations defense services
have been urged by Walter White,
NAACP executive secretary, to
take immediate steps to eliminate
segregation and discrimination
from all phases of military life
and thereby make certain that all
personnel under your control will
be accorded the same treatment
without regard to race, color or
creed"

nation received from servicemen,
Mr.. White, in identical kilograms
to Secretary of Defense George
Marshall, Secretary of the Army
Frank Pace, Secretary of the Air
Force Thomas Finletter and Sec
rotary of the Navy Francis P.
Matthews, warned that "such treat
ment by military personnel can only
succeed in adversely affecting the
morale of Negro troops and
hamper efforts to secure eull-heart-
ed support of the American Negro
for the Government military and
foreign policy program"
In his kilograms, dated January
8, Mr.. White mentioned particular
ly conditions at Camp Rucker, Ala
bama, where it is charged, Negro
inductees are segregated in infer
Tor and poorly equipped areas and
Inundated by military police when

OF the New Orleans Area, The

diction, is now at his home, PIG

illness of some two months, hav-
ing spent seven weeks in Flint
Goodridge Hospital here. That he
is taking regular morning walks,
and has improved so that he has
had several official conferences
with the top leaders of the area,
indicate that he is ON the way to
complete recovery. Is
Before taking suddenly ILL.,, in
Greensboro, N. C, which led to
his operation, he had set special

Specials" in the New Orleans Area
to head up at Thanksgiving time.
Unable to make the roll calls as
planned, he appointed DR.. M. S.
Davage, prominent layman, and
head Of the Department of Higher
Education for Negroes, of the
Board of Education Of the Meth
odist Church, Nashville, Tenn, to
represent him in these five confer
ences, and conduct these roll calls.
DR.. Davage made his report to
the bishop recently and it showed
that at Thanksgiving time $751; O1
had been raised by the area.
The report was so outs landing,
the Central Christian Advocate
spoke of it editorially as follows:
"The strength of administrative
leadership is most graphically
demonstrated by the manner in
which the organization or institu-
ton moves along when the, chief
executive is not actively on the
scene. However much success an
executive may have when he is
actively present to dictate every
move, if the organization cannot
get along reasonably We'll, when
for one reason or the other, he is
temporarily called away, it is US
ually good indication that the
organizational structure is weak
and the personnel have not caught
his vision Although the Bishop
was still being hospitalized, the
meetings went on with remarkable
success. The district superintend-
ents, conference officers, pastors
and laymen deserve high common
dation for the level of maturity
which they exercised in making
such a large report. DR.. Prince A.
Taylor, editor, attended one of the
roll calls.

HIGH SCHOOL

On Tuesday, January 16 the
boys played Montgomery Blair and
the girls played Bethesda Chevy
Chase. Today the girls played
Richard Montgomery High School
and the boys team met Bethesda
Chevy -Chase's Barons.
Students were required to attend
school half a day only on Thurs
day, January 13 because of a
teachers meeting.
The junior class is planning to
present a variety show sometime
in April. This show is now in the
process of being written and some
of the students who want to par
ticipate in this annual event are
already working on their acts. A
few surprise acts are being
planned, and it is hoped that this
years show will be as big a sue
cess as last years.
This years annual, the Sail On,
was recently taken to the publish
er's in Baltimore. Editor Jackie
Larcombe, who has been working
closely with Mrs. Wilson in this
years edi (on, has announced that
it will be in the hands of the stu
dents sometime in May.
Writing of the handbook of 1851
for Gaithersburg High School is
well underway, and many of the
articles are in their final form.
Since it's publication will coincide
with the opening of our new high
school, the handbook staff is at
tempting to present all the facts
about the new building along with
the rules and traditions of the old.

Modern Business Machines

Progress in the development OF
modern business machines has
made possible the tremendous vol.
ume of correspondence, bookkeep.
ing, filing and other details of office
processing every day. VIM. S. Bur-
roughs with his adding machine
made an accountant out of the old
timer with a high stool and quill
pen. Sholes with his typewriter
turned the longhand girl into a
shorthand girl, and made jobs for
millions of her kind. Edison created
the debating machine, Joseph S.
Duncan invented the addressograph.
These are all American inventions.
BY speeding computations and re-
cordings those machines have added
growth, and still more jobs. to in
dustries that use them.

The "lost wax" process is credited
to the Italian sculptor Benvenuto
Cellini. 1t is used for making cast
ings OF complicated objects. The de.
sign is made in wax pattern, then
a plaster mold is made around it.
To remove the pattern, the wax is
melted, and thus ''lost". Then mol.
ten metal is poured into the mold, TO
take the place OF the wax, and aft
er it hardens the plaster is Clipped
away. This process was developed
to high degree Of precision during

Nickel In Aluminium Bronzes

Widely recognized has been the
function of nickel in imparting
high strength and hardness to the
aluminium bronzes, as well as con-
