Once, they were even charged by three enemy tanks. When a shell burst on the beach, injuring 13 men. the Negro Seabees reached the scene first- They pulled out the wounded. When a mortar shell set fire to a large ammunition dump, 30 Seabees started moving the shells. They had to be called off when the exploding ammunition pinned down everyone on the entire beach. When ordered to carry ammunit- * ion up to the front lines, volunteers took so many cases forward to a Mar ine infantry officer told them. Knock it off. We just want enough am munition for the night. We don’t need the entire dump.” When a stretcher detail was need ed to go down nto a draw in front of a heavily fortified ridge to bring out wounded at midnight, 16 Seabees vol unteered.

(PPNS) Since 1942 has sent hun dreds of photos of lovely lassies to servicemen, both in camps and on the fighting fronts to choose "Chinup Queens ” The photo of Miss Ola Mae Hamilton, of eKystone W. Va., was chosen by a unit headed by Pvt Fc. Robert Lee Parker, one of the fighting Leyte soldiers, she is shown after making a dip in her private pool. Miss Hamilton is one of the nation's beauties and vied for the title and crown on "Miss Bronze A merica" at the American Negro Ex position in Chicago 1940. of the record of their unit has made individual feats are generously re counted by others. The battalion is high in morale and excellent in a chievtment Seaman, First Class, Edward Scott 20, cf 313 Dickenson Street, Free mont, Ohio was on the lines four tim es as a stretcher bearer. The second night he was in a foxhole with a Marine officer when four Japanese started moving in. When the Mar ine fired, one Jap fell and played dead for a time. Then he attempt ed flank the position while the oth er three came on. Seaman Scott got two of them, the Marine officer ac counted for the others. Seaman, First Class, Lemon Jack son, 2ti, of 712 East Alabama Street, Florence, Ala-, was pinned down in his foxhole near the front lines. He had ammuniton to get forward ai^l he was irked- He deliberately show ed himself to drap Jap fire (this is the story of others—not Jackson). Then “I just shot up in a tree and there he was," said the Seabee Seaman, First Class, Henry Hall, of 2215 -A Cass Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., thanks an unidentified Marine for saving his life. A Jap was mov ing in on Hall, and the Seabee's rifle jammed- A passing Marine knocked off the Jap, but shrugged away the Negro's thanks with “That's okay, you guys have been saving us with the ammo you're carrying." "Me, I just went on about my bus iness of looking for a deeper fox hole," grinned Hall, who made nine trips to the lines in eight days Seaman. First Class, James Key Nichols, 20, of 5047 South Parkway Chciago, has a souvenir of one trip across the egposed airport- He was carrying one end of a stretcher when a Japanese machine gun killed the Seabee on the front end- Nichols’ canteen was pierced by two bullets. "Left me without water,” he mourn ed at the dressing station where he delivered the wrounded Marine by himself two hours later. Seaman, First Class, eorge F. Jen kins, of 350 East 53d Street, Chicago was carrying ammunition across the airport when he saw a Marine fal, hit by a sniper. Seaman Jenkins brought in the wounded man. Mov ing an inert victim several hundred yards by yourself is a difficult task Seaman, First Class, Leo McDow ell of 588 East 53d Street, Chicago, ( a neighbor of Jenkins), was an other Seabee who had his companion shot while carrying a stretcher. Mc Dowell simply placed his buddy on the stretcher with the wounded Marine and dragged it to the first aid station—an ordeal lasting more than an hour Machinist Mate, Third Class, Em ory L. Jennings, of 586 Post Office Street, Altus, Okla.. heard there was a wounded man on the edge of the airport. Despite continuous sniper fire, he went and got him. Seaman, Second Class, Leroy Mos es heard a Jap in a foghole yelling for help. Moses and two Navy corpsmen went out- One pharmac ist’s mate was shot by the screaming Jap who was in turn killed by. Mose who then went down and helped ir ai wounded man. Seaman, First Class, Jimmy Shea -ard, of 200 Rav Street, Anderso SC-, also heard Japs yelling. "Sounded as if they were callin muster,” he said. “Then one Jay called down: “We see you throwing flares—we’re coming.' but they did not.” “I guess the boys have a right to be proud,” said Lieutenant Comman der Berry. “They got into the habit of volunteering so much when we had to bury some long-dead Japs, two dozen Seabees stepped out before 1 had time to tell them wba‘ trey were i volunteering for-" ^IMII!IIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIItllllllillltmill!l_ I Lunch ( | Room | — (At Myrtis’ Tavern) §2229 LAKE STREET-1 E (Under New Management) 5 = Lillian Anderson and Louise S E Finney, Proprietors E “ "Prompt, Courteous Service ’ S ■imiiiiiiiMiniim ■■■■■■■■■■■mu mi ■■■■■■ NA.ACP SENDS FDK iONCEATVLA TONY ULSSASL New York—If a congratulatory message to Prcs.dtnt Franklin De ir.no Roosevelt, NAACP's Secretary Walter White said: "1 send you on behalf of the Na tion..; Association for the Advance ment of Colored People and person ally cur v.arm congratulations on yrur reelection and the unparalleled opportunity it. gives you for unequiv ocal attack upon domestic and world pr- blems during the next four event ful years.” BOWELS * Feeling li>e you lor your ba*t frieim - rf,* u/ y“ ',Ut J1 Hc,‘u,c ’>»«*» bow els.
