(Across the Street from Ritz Theatre) NEW AND USED MERCHANDISE Clothes, Furniture and Furnishings “We Save You Money on Good Merchandise” WE BUY, SELL AND EXCHANGE —Mrs. Jackie Bryant, Mgr. -tain civilians who have tried to ignor? military precautions have actually complained to the courts, yelling that the colored centcjes were too tough? Well, as you've probably read, the Courts have up held the sentries. The civilians were guilty! The case of the Cambridge pro fessor who tried to drive bi3 car by a colored sentry at the college gate is a sound example. One shot, resulting in a minor gun wound, changed the professor’s mind. A similar case allegedly happen ed up in Maine, involving a wom an driver, and again the sepia sen try fired so as not to fata’ly injure the offender. Yet this being war, a sentry can shoot to kill. Our boys are hard but humane. In a New York railroad yard one night, it is said that a white yard worker, carrying a lantern, walk ed On into the darkness ignoring the chailenege of a colored sentry. One rifle shot whisked the lantern out of the man’s hand and from that day, it is said, the railroad workers all whistled and sang loudly at the top of their voices whenever in the vicinity of coloi ed guards. They wanted all sen tries to know well in advance wh.i they were and that they were coming by. An interesting story picked up from Maine concerns a night fish erman challeneged at the water front and ordered by the colored sentry to extinguish a small hat light which might be seen by sub marines. The offending fellow obliged as long as he was n^a? shore, but when Well off the ~oasi 86PROOF. STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY. SCHENLEY DISTILLERS CORP..N.Y.G.

Over 5,600 poles were broken or out of place. Nearly 10/000 telephones were out of service. More than 400 cities and towns were cut off from telephone com* munication with the outside world* About 700 telephone men worked to get the lines In service as early as possible, often in deep snow, un der blizzard conditions, and almost impassable roads. Except for some badly damaged rural lines, service is now restored. In the last five years, damage to the property of this Company and its subsidiaries from storms has amount ed to about two million dollars. We regret any inconvenience which may have been caused as a result oi these storms and greatly appreciate the tine spirit with which our customers accepted the unavoidable interrup tions of long distance and. in many instances, local service. NORTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY in his fishing boat ,he flash on the offending light once again. As the story goes, the colored sentry armed with one of those new Gar and rifles, fired once after suit able added warnings. Not only was the light shot out, but the fisherman received a close hair cut and shave. Needless to say, all Maine fishermen now respect; the sentries. The superb shooting by th-v colored troops is one of the most encouraging pieces of this war signment. They are getting "one shot results” in almost an amaz ing manner considering that col ored soldiers are seemingly last in drawing bullet shooting opportun ities. Many of the sentries are crack shots holding all sorts of marksmanship medals. As in the last war, the enemy is going to be mighty surprised by the accurate ad amazing fire power of coloved American troops. Numerous white Americans have at first resented taking commands from our sentries. There have be< n home reports of civilian authorit ies reaching for their revolvers, an act which always drew a ring of army rifles. The men reaching fcr their revolvers have always had to reach for their hats and scram. Because the U. S. Army is not to be trifled with. Our boys in uni form beltfog to the U. S. army! Nuf sed!

RETIRES AFTER 44 YEARS OF JANITORY AND INTER PRETORY WORK Lorain, O., April 10 (by Johnny Willis for ANP)—Retirement of a janitor believed to be the wealth iest Negro in Lorain county took place this week when Edward Cop es, head janitor of the general of fice district of the National Tube company, reached the age of 65 to culminate 44 years of outstanding service. He left perhaps the most enviable record of unbroken serv ice ever compiled in a steel mill in dustry. Copes has lived in Lorain virt-v ually all his life, beginning work at the Loran subsidiary of the U. S. Steel corporation when he was 21 years old. When asked by this reporter whether or not he had ever been late for work, Copes re plied: “Not during the past 15 years ,and only once before that time." However his record shows that he has never been sick or lost any time from work for the past 25 years. So proud were National Tube officials of Copes insurmountable record that they spnsored a rec ent party in his honor at which time company officials presented him a Longines wrst watch with a bronze case. His name and years of Service were engraved upon the back of the watch. Among othtr outstanding gifts presented was a Parker Pen and pencil set (with engravings) and a stand lamp, all given by helpers. During 44 years of service Cop es proved to company officials that he was not a nonentity as far as janitorial services were concerned. It is recalled especially that dur ing steady flow of foreign immig ration into Lorain some years ago, It was Ed Copes who served the Keep Good Govern ment Re-Elect PRESENT City Commissioners MARK 0 THESE A AMES DAN B.

When asked of hjs future pian3, Copes said “Well, I’m still single, so I might have to go to the army (-?)". Although 65, he is decid edly young in appearance- HiiJ friends know him to be quiet ard reticent, but it is generally rec ognized that he a very shrewd business man. Owner of many homes in Lorain, it is expected that he will go a little m0re deep ly into real estate. However, ac cording to some of “Ed’s most in timate friends, he has recently been giving considerable thought toward opening a colored night club and summer resort_some thing which he says has been kind of “up his sleeves” for quite some time COLORED PRESS PHOTO GRAPHER EVACUATED WITH JAPANESE WIFE Los Angeles, April 10 (AJJP)—• As an unusual incident of the e vacuation of Japanese from this district, among the hundreds forc ed to leave last week was Charles Williams, a well known young colored photographer. Williams is married to a pretty Japanese gin, but had no dreams that she would be included in the ban on enemy aliens and still less that he would be placed in that category. The big surprise came last Friday morning when an FBI officer came to their little home with orders that they be ready by 6 o’clock that night to leave with the next contingent for the new Owens Valley concentration cen ter. Hurriedly packing and ar ranging their affairs as best they could, they were ready when the time came. All day Sunday in the colored district where many Japanese' have been living for years, there were scenes of hasty moving as the remaining Japanese availed of the last opportunity to leave vol untarily with the deadline up at ft p. m. After that they would have to remain under strict army juris diction and obey the curfew law until personally evacuated and placed by the army. Many bid other colored friends goodbye feel ingly while others kept the cus tomary stoical silence Williams was the official photo grapher for the Calfornia Eagle besides his other excellent business FOUR FREEDOMS by M.
