VIRGIL HAYES
Virgil Hayes is a veteran of
World War No. 1 and a Legionnaire
At present he belongs to Harrison
A. Wright Post 289, Springfield,
Mass., but he is about to make a
change.
Since coming to this city he has
paid a number of visits to Roose
velt Post and likes it so well he
has decided to join it. He claims
it is one of the best posts in the
country. And he DIDN'T say
COLORED posts. Just Posts. As
he has visited many white and col
ored posts in his travel and seem
ingly has been very observant
—one is reluctant to doubt his
statement. So we have this to say
to him:
Virgil Hayes, there isn’t a loyal
member of Theodore Roosevelt
Post No. 30 who doesn’t believe a
lcng with you that it is one of the
best posts in the country.... and if
you continue to display the same
amount of enthusiasm you display
ed when we were chatting with
you last Saturday and pitch in and
help to keep things moving along
this post will become an even bet
ter one.
It needs men like you. For it is
hard to conceive of a veteran who
seems so wrapped up in Legionism
as you are being other than an ac
tive and hard working member in
a post.

Applicants must meet WAAC en

During this time she will be paid

Upon completion of the full six

would be sent to this area.
City Marshal Robert J. Knighton
in a report Wednesday said Sher
iff Richard Whitaker shot and kill
ed a Negro prlvote from Camp Van
Dorn when the latter resisted ar
rest by military police and attempt
ed to take the military policeman’s
gun. All military police in this ar- '

Accompanying the request of Gov
Johnson was a telegram from May
or Carroll, which read:
“Urgently request that steps be
| taken to have the 364th infantry
recently ordered here from Phoen
ix be removed by war department
to northern station. This regiment
is fomenting race riots and openly
boasts that they have come to
clean Mississippi out. Have had no
trouble with other colored troops
until arrival of this regiment from
Arizona softie days ago. Consider
this request of utmost urgency as
serious race riots are expected if
this regiment is allowed to remain
I here.
Col. R. E. Guthrie, commanding
officer of Camp Dorn described the
trouble as an individual incident
and said that there had been a lit
tle emotional disturbance among
the colored troops and some am
ong the people of Centreville.
Following the shooting f the un

guards and highway patrolmen arc
reported to have been order id to

situation was under control.

A MESSAGE
TO WHITE
AMERICA
(by Myrtle M. Goodlo")
WHITE AMERICA.
Can you call us disloyal citizens
When we ask our rights as Amer
icans?
Can you claim the rights which
America insures
To all alike beneath, her Stars
and Stripes
Should be enjoyed by only you
and yours?
This is our native land as well
as yours
The foreparents of all Americans
came from foreign shores,
And we are one of' the many
groups wljich makes
Our beloved United States.
Our foreparents didn't arrive
On the good ship Mayflower,
For they were in slavery’s cruel
power.
And made the ocean trip.
Shackled aboard a slave ship.
Nor did they land on Plymouth
Rock,
But on Virginia shore.
And now we number thirteen
million more.
WHITE AMERICA.
When Abraham Lincoln set us
free,
He laid the foundation
For our country to become,
The true leader of democracy.
And America continued to pros
per and grow,
After he freed the Negro.
We have never betrayed that
trust he placed in Us
We have answered our country’s
every call
And on freedom’s altar laid our
all.
And today oUr fathers, brothers
and sons,
Are on the four corners of the
earth
Fighting for the four freedoms
And dying for the land of their
birth.
And today our men in uniform
Are suffering cruel persecution
In army camps throughout the
southland.
The very brand—
They’re fighting to end
In a foreign land.
And can you blame Us when
, We ask our country to protect
them?
Europe lies In ruins today
Because hatred and prejudice
had full sway.
Think of the terrific cost,
Of Hitler’s crooked cross—
The emblem of prejudice and
hate.
With death and ruin in its wake.
And make no mistake,
Those who preach prejudice and
hate.
In our own United States,
Couldn’t possibly do any better
Obeying Hitler’s orders to the
letter.
WHITE AMERICA.
Can you blame us when we fight,
For our God given rights.
As well as for the Stars and
Stripes?
Can you condemn us when
We ask our rights as an Americ
an?.
To the prejudiced southerners
who say—
‘‘They would rather lose the war
And keep the Negro in his place.”
We ask God in Heaven to forgive
them,
For making such idotic state
ments,
Wishing the end of all that is
American.
For if we lose the freedom we’re
so proud of—
So will they and those they love.
And there will be no difference
then.
For they as well as we—
Will be in slavery!
WHITE AMERICA.
Not the color of our skin—
But the loyal hearts within
Which beats with love sincere
For all our country holds most
dear.
And after all it was Him,
Who made us dark of Skin.
He, Who created all men
After His own image and likeness
Be they jet black or lily-white
ness.
And commanded them to love
one another as a brother—
And when we oppress our fellow
men,
We are condemned by the Maker
of all men.
WHITE AMERICA.
You can pray and sing,—
God Bless America in the hour
of her distress.
But when hearts are filled with
hate and prejudice.
The words have an empty ring
For God Almighty cannot bless
Only when his children obey His
will.
And not until then, Will—
“God Bless America.”
Use Fish to Save Points

fish—the non-rationed, high-quality
protein food that is truly delicious

try some of the less-known vari
