C.—Several years ago I promsed my mother that I was go ing to build her a home this spring Now I have been called to the ar my and won’t be able to do it. Should we try to have it done or just wait? Ans: Put it off for the duration. Materials can’t even be bought to build a new place right now. You probably couldn’t get the labor if you had the materials. Put youri money in Government Bonds and [wait until you return from service before carrying out this plan. The possibility is that you will want to build a duplex. There is no doubt but that you and the charming little miss you are rushing now will want to live in your own little I flat. ***** W. R.

I want to get married someday and live happy like other women. Please tell me what to do so my dream will come true? Ans: Leave and go into the city and find a job. Go to church and other nice places and try to make some new friends. My one sug gestion is not to become too at tached to any one man and give up your freedom... .do this only when you are safely married. You can find a husband if you try but you won’t be able to living there with another man. ***** C. T.—I want to hear from you before I jump at conclusions. My boy friend makes out like he make good money and I want to know if he is just a cheap-skate or what? Ans: You have him figured out pretty well_he isn’t going to part with his money if he can put off by making promises. If you think you can “pull his leg,” you are in for a big surprise.this old boy is going to hold tight to ev erything he has. ***** | B. W.—The quiz is concerning my brother in law. Is he really trying to propose to me behind my sister’s back? I have been engag ed two times and when I tell him about it, something happens to throw me off. Is he my stumbling block? Ans: Stay away from him alto gether if you feel he is thinking too much of you. It would never do to allow him to make love to you behind the back of your sis ter. Keep your business to your self.... don’t tell anyone your plans until you carry them out. My sug gestion is that you make friends and get out more often with the single boys and associate less with your Sister and her husband. ***** D. F.—Reading your column is one of the joys in my life. I’m studying real hard trying to be come a Domestic Science Teacher. Do you think I will reach my goal? Ans: You’re bound to succeed.. _keep up the good work. You are fortunate in knowing what you want to do when you finish college. _.. so many young people fail to make up their minds until they are through college. Work out your schedule with the instrctors and they can inform you just what you must take in order to become a teacher in Domestic Science. F. E. B.—I have trouble explain ing the true facts of managing the bills with the money we have. When X can’t meet them, all I get is an ugly face and he says “I give you all I have and I don’t see what you do with the money I give you 1 to save my life.” Yet he knows it is more than I can handle. I ex plain this to him that he makes ad ditional bills before I can pay off the old ones he makes and he just flies off the handle. Ans: Little does he realize that you can’t stretch money....the fact is he knows darn well that he would never make ends meet and prefers to put the whole responsi bility on your shoulders. Continue to do your best for it is better this way than never to see the money at all. Write out an itemized statemetn of your monthly bills and the outstanding debts and let him see that you are trying to get straight with the world again. It may have some influence on his making new debts. KISMET LETTER KLUB Est. 1935. Membership only $1.00. Soldiers, men, women, ell ages. j A dime brings Info. P. O.

(Press Photo Service). i CANADA LEE PLAYS OPPOSITE NEW FIND IN "LIFEBOAT” Something new in Hollywood sue -cess stories is the story of young John Hodiak, the Gable-like new comer who popped out of nowhere to win the male lead opposite Tal lulah Bankhead in ‘‘Lifeboat’’ at 20th Century-Fox. Hodiak’s story is no saga of star vation and struggle, of forcing the breaks by sheer persistence. Nei ther is it an epic pf overcoming Hollywood’s indifference by ingen ious maneuvers. "I’ve always been a firm believer in the Fates,” says John, with a seriousness that is unmistakably sincere. "I’ve always felt that if I were the guy to do something, I’d be sought out to do It.” A year ago, turned down by the Army, he was sitting around- Chi cago, waiting for something to hap pen. Meanwhile, lie was earning a pretty fair living as a radio act or, having originated the charac ter of “Li’l Abner” on the air. He had an urge to get to Hollywood some day, but he did nothing to ac celerate the day. He turned down five movie offers that came along There was no urgency about them. They didn’t sound like destiny in disguise. Then something happened. He was suddenly summoned to New York to test for a he-man role in a Merchant Marine picture. For a shipmate in the ttst, he had Canada Lee, the young Negro actor who had just won the Drama Critic’s Award in ‘‘Native Son.” As a re sult of the test, John' was signed by MGM. That Merchant Marine picture still hasn’t been made, but in the nine months since then, he has played three small parts, all char acter parts, the latest being a 40 year old guerrila leader in "Song of Russia.” Meanwhile, not trying to force the issue, he has sat ar ound and waited for the one role intended for him. i He was "thunder-struck” when he was told that he had been bor rowed by Director Alfred Hitch cock for "Lifeboat,” suspenseful drama about nine people adrift in 26 foot boat in mid-Atlantic. Not only had John made no conscious effort to catch Hitchcock’s apprais ing eye. He hadn’t even dreamed that Hitchcock might be interested in an unknown. It puzzled him how the miracle had happened. "I finally found out,” he reveal ed on the set, looking tall and ,rugged and capable of taking com mand of the boat, as ordained in 24th AND LAKF STREETS PRESCRIPTIONS —Free Delivery— WE.

He saw the test Canada Lee had made in New York and, on the basis of that test, signed him for the role. “Then, about two weeks later, he said to Kenneth Macgowan, the producer, ‘Let’s have another look at that Canada Lee test.’ They were getting around to casting the par of ‘Kovac,’ the oiler. Hitch cock suddenly remembered there was a young guy in that test with Canada, only he hadn’t noticed him particuarly the first time. So he looked at the test again. And that was how I got the role.” 'Do you blame me for being a fatalist?” ANP EXPOSES RIFE PREJU DICE, IRREGULARITIES AT FORT HUACHUCA POST COMMANDER, ALA. GENERAL, CALLS MEN “NIGGERS ’; RESTRICTS TRAINING TO MARCHES, DRILLS, WANTS THEM TO GO ABROAD; TROOPS SAY THEY’RE UNTRAINED (Continued from page 1) “There is too much waste in these mess halls. These nigg ;rs eat too damn much meat and bread and not enough vegetables.” Added to this stinging insult are the alleged plans of Gen. Almond to heighten .hi§ stature in the army by sending unprepared men over seas as a fighting unit. One army private said that “if the Japs or Germans saw us coming they would augh themselves to death.” “Instead of training for combat through the techniques of handi ng ihsued weapons, the men are trained to walk miles upon miles over the rocky mountainous ter rain,” charged a disgusted soldier. Morale of the men is exceedingly low, according to an informant, be i ause it is popularly believed at the post that Gen. Almond was not con- I sidered capable of handling a white unit and was assigned to the 92nd division where he spews his spleen of disappointment on the (helpless Negro soldiers. Further evidence of the contempt the com mander^holds for his charges was found in the allegation that he sends is post Gestapo to uncover Suspected hidden bullets used in live ammuhition practice because he fears an uprising of protest. Re ports are current in Tucson that several officers, one of whom was a colonel have been severely beat en or killed by th non-commissioh d victims of their race hate and venom. These sinister raids usual ly occurring In the middle of the night have revealed that some of te soldiers are concealing arms to protect themselves from further indignities and in many instances | to save their lives. Another extremely sore spot with the men i^ the restriction in rank of colored officers. It was pointed ! out that when the organization was formed in World War No. 1 the articles of war stated that "All officers above the ranks of 1st lieu tenant will be white.” There has been but slight deviation from that order, It is charged. “All of the white officers, who joined the division about 19 days earlier than the Negroes after i he division was reactivated in Octob er, 1942, have been made 1st lieu tenants and captains,” informed a , | camp soldier. “In the 365th in Ifantry regiment particularly three Negroes have made the 1st lieuten ant grade. When we arrived here the general started a development school for backward officers. In a class of 50 officers whom it was felt needed some “policing up on" all were Negroes. “This does net represent a sit uation of inability, as it affects one group," continued the servicemen, “it is out and out discrimination. Those 50 men can never expect to get beyond their present grade.1’ It was pointed out that the edu cational background of the Negro officers was generally higher than that of white officers, yet the Ne groes have been persistently passed over in promotions. Post officials apparently don’t think that Negro soldiers need reg ulation field rations to maintain their maximum health, it was charged, and as a result the food served in mess is a constant sourc" of nausea to the men. Negro of ficers, it was stated, are so brtrv oeaten and coerced that they dare not object to any of the varied dis criminations and irregularities for fear of being “broken.” Particularly bitter are the men over the statements accredited to Atty. Truman K. Gibson and Gen. Benjamin O. Davis that conditions are “in excellent shape" training, “good”, morale “high” and the ov erall picture “gratifying." Enlist ed men who said the two high offic ials were at Font Huachuca recent ly to investigate the post must have known that the reservation is a “keg of dynamite" if they had their eyes open. Dynamite .(by H. GEORGE DAVENPORT). I Chicago, 111 (For Press Photo Ser vice)—Now that schools are be ing opened all over the country the youngsters of teen ages should be looking for ward to thedr fu t u r e. Learn a trade, even tho’ you intend taking HWWMWli II up a piUK-SMUll, In conversation with Mrs. Staats who teaches art at a state school, she claims that she has difficulty in making the pupils underslan i that they should learn something that will be financially beneficial for them after leaving school. Mrs. Staats teaches at Bordertown, X. She took a picture of me at work in my studio so she could show the students the advantages of learning something profitable, and o encourage them. Some time back when most of us /ere on relief or near about, 1 e nember? A young man by the name of Eddie Joseph of Chicago was packing one of those highly rized brief cases which told the world that he was on relief or something closely akin to relief (a writer’s project), I kidded this young man so much an told hint that he had better go to a trade school and learn something. Aftei much persuasion he finally went ti welding school and at present he is making close to $400 per month. Another youngster quite a while back came into my studio and ask ed me what I thought of his draw ngs, I told him that he should p. ac ice up on his lettering and ho ould make a fair living and e ough to pay for his art education f he so desired. I had forgotten 11 about the incident, when one ay this youngster (a man no>v) came into my place and ‘asked, “Do you remember me?” I am the bn.v you advised to take up lettering I and I did. I had noticed his shopJ in Chicago, but nev>.r dreamed that I had anything to do with his suc cess in life until he so informed mo. After this war no on knows what is.going to happen, so the safest way is to learn a trade of some kind; Shoe repairing, auto repair ing, electrical refrigeration and mo tor rebuilding, carpentry, plaster ing, bricklaying ,etc., for the ladies hairdressing, dressmaking, cooking both pastry and otherwise, and like trades depending upon the lo calities and use to which you can put such traes wherever you in tend to live after leaving school. When this other depression conies and it is coming, the ones who will be better ?ble to offest the diffic ulties of sue times, are the oncs who are prepared by knowing something the other fellow doesn'* know. L ncoln once said, “I will stadj and prepare, some day my time will come”. Lincoln not oniy be came President of these United States, but his name has gone i history as one of the greatest m “; who ever lived. Of course yoi may never be president of !hi country, but you can be president Df YOUR COMPANY if you mak prtparations while in school.
