Hard to Vote
In France
I Somewhere in France: As I
members of the 134th Nebraska 1
infantry regiment we wish to I
convey to the people of Nebras- \
ka through you, how we feel t
about coming home to a dry V
state. We read in the Stars and i
Stripes that the allied dry forces l
of Nebraska have drawn up a 1
petition signed by 50,393 citizens I
to place a dry vote on the No- 1
vember ballot. It is a little more |
difficult to vote in France than \
it is in Nebraska. Our time is /
too occupied with fighting for %
the freedom we left at home to #
seek out 50 thousand Nebraska I
boys to counteract that petition. 1
Therefore we are asking you to f
take our part in what we feel is 1
an injustice to all members of f
the allied expeditionary forces \
in France. /
We want to return to the %
same Nebraska we left and not J
to a state corrupted by the evils I
of prohibition. 1
We the undersigned are all f
legal Nebraska voters. \

out
Ar.d you read what this is all
about:
The way some of our women
go on the street is a sin and shame
and makes us bow our heads in
shame.
Ladies, cleanliness is next to God
liness
And if you have only one dress
Take the time and care
To see that it is clean before go
ing anywhere
Your clothing doesn’t need to be
The latest style nor the finest
quality
For some of our neatest women
Are dressed not in silks but ging
ham
The shoes some of our women
wear
Couldn’t be found in an alley any
where
They say that they are easy on
the feet
But they sure look bad upon the
street
Terrible things and often without
strings
Looking like a pair of submarines
Personal appearance means so
much
Ana u taaes so nrae ume to Drusn
Your teeth and comb your hair
Before going anywhere
Our hair should be our crowning
glory
But many heads tell a sad story
Of neglect and lack of self respect
Hair sticking up all the time
Looking like a porcupine

Is common with some of you
The strongest odor that ever blew
From the packing house I’m tell
ing you
Smells sweet compared to some of
you
I One whiff and whew! whew!
Knocks a body out for a moment
or two
I doubt if an angry skunk
Could stir up such a funk
No wonder some men roam
And far—far from home
The vile language heard along the
street
Some hardened criminals wouldn’t
repeat
Such awful filth and dirt
Uttered by human beings wear
ing a skirt
Act like ladies when on the street
Be a credit to our race and not a
disgrace
And always be clean and neat
For soap and water are plentiful
and cheap
Gentlemen:—Please don’t quote
none of the lines I wrote
To your girl friend as a joke
For this is the reason why
You too might sport an eye
That is black and blue.

t
shot down his first enemy aircraft,
i Macchi 205, recently while re
turning from Vienna.
Lt. Davis is a member of the
first All-Negro Fighter Group in
the Army Air Forces. The group
which formerly flew' patrol and:
convoy missions with the Coastal
Air Force, is now a part of the
15th AAF, flying Mustangs as es
cort for heavy bombers.
Lt. Davis, formation leader, was
returning to base when he noticed
a crippled B-24. He circled and f
received a call that the bomber
was about to be attacked. He
broke off his flight and went after
two Macchi 205s. His wingman
shot down one and he accounted
for the other.
The fighter group has shot down
eleven enemy aircraft during 26
missions and probably sank one
destroyer.

In recognition of his twenty-five
years of leadership in promoting
the program of the Boy Scouts of
America among the Negro boys of
the nation, Wiley College at Mar
shall, Texas, at its summer com
mencement last night (Wednes
day) awarded the degree of Doc
tor of Laws to Stanley A. Harris,
National Director of Inter-Racial
Activities of the Boy Scouts of
America.
Wiley College is a Methodist in
stitution. More than 25 years ago
the Methodist Episcopal Church
recognized the value of the Boy
Scout Program. Dr. Harris, then
the field Director of the Boy Scouts
for the southern third of the United
States organized Boy Scout Troops
for Negro boys in southern com
munities on an experimental basis
and in 1926 organized the National
Committee of Inter-Racial Service. I
There are now more than 100,000
Negro men and boys in Scouting
throughout the United States, and
most of them are sponsored by
churches.
In accepting the honor last night,
Dr. Harris said, “We undoubtedly
have the finest youth in the his
tory of the world. It is beyond |
question the most intelligent youth.!
I believe it is the most honest and]
most daring youth, but even this!
honest, certainly this intelligent
and daring youth might be a lia

boys. Scouting helps the church
