KNOW YOUR STATE TRAFFIC
LAWS.
On slippery roads it sometimes
takes up to ten times the distance to
stop a car than is required on dry
pavement- This is the season when
slippery road surfaces are a frequent
hazard. Drive at a moderate safe
_ speed and do not follow another car
too close
The state law requires that the dri
ver of a car should not follow anoth
er car more closely than is reasonable
and safe, having regard to speed,
traffic and conditions of the road
If you are driving a truck you
must not follow another truck; trav
eling upon a highway, within three
hundred feet
Watch for next week's traffic law
tip, it’s smart to be safe.

RED CROSS SERVICES HELP
NINETY-SECOND MEN GRIN
AND BEAR IT
With the 5th Army in Northern
Italy For weeks now the 92nd
Division, famous American Negro
outfit, has been fighting steadily on
h:s b'tterly contested front- Gains
have been slow, small and hard
fought for- Mines, mud, the misery
of cold, and the menace of extraor
dinarily heavy enemy shellfire have
impeded progress
1 oday, however, the men of the
92nd have much that w'ill help them
at least to grin and bear it, much that
they did not have when they first
went into the line. For the !>2nd has
gone all out for the services of the
American Red Cross, and the men
are delighted and proud of these new
est aids to their comfort and well
being
W hen these fighting men first ar
rived in this theatre from the States,
their knowledge of Red Cross servic
es had been gained from the activ
ities of the four Red Cross field men
attached to the division. They saw
to it that men in the ranks had the
advantages of small emergency loans,
of weitare reports on their families,
of honest man-to-man advice and
counsel on personal matters, of emer
gency supplies of toilet and comfort
articles, and of recreation facilities
whenever possible.
Chief of the quartet is Field Direc
tor Francis I- Long, 849 Fair St., S
W., Atlanta- Ga-. who holds an MA
degree from the University of Atlan
ta and possesses an exceptional back
ground in music, education and the
social sciences that makes him espec
ially well equipped for his present
welfare work with the division.
One of Mr. Long's three assistant
field directors is Ernest Hemby, 50
Mornside Ave-, New York City, also
a musician, prominent in the work of
the Urban League- and for several
years a worker in the New York City
Department of Welfare aid in var
ious other branches of the city gov
ernment
The other two Red Cross men are j
Daniel Lang, 131 Spruce St., Buffalo
New York, and Alexander R- Bolden
of 659 East 411st St., Los Angeles,
Calif.
Once in Italy, the four men began
to work for the development of addi
tional Red Cross services for the 92d
Today the division has its own port
able club and clubmobile unit, fully
equipped, staffed and successfully
operating not far behind the front
lines.
The portable club unit, which sup
plies large-scale facilities for reading
wrung and recreation, also includes
a snack bar- It is expertly directed
by Raymond E. Miller, 1708 North
22nd St-, Philadelphia, a Howard
University graduate who has had
nearly 18 month's experience in Red
Cross club work overseas. Mr. Mil
ler was formerll engaged in physical
education work with the YMCA in
Bridgeyort. Conn., and Philadelchia,
as well as with the Wharton Settle
ment House in Philadelphia.
Assisting Mr- Miller with the club
are four attractive young women.
Program director is a former How
ard University faculty member, Miss
Geneva Howard, of Washington. D
C-, and 5119 Prairie Ave., Chicago,
111. Miss Marie Leach. 71 Rosedale
Ave., Montclair. NJ-, is assistant pro
gram director. Miss Leach was a
recreation and club worker with the
Montclair YWCA- Staff assistants
are Miss Sybil Gowdy, Kingsbor
ough Apts., Brooklyn, New York and
Miss Elizabeth Coppin. 809 Artie
Ave., Atlantic City. NJ.
inree other young women, all ot
them staff assistants, comprise the
Red Cross clubmobile team, taking
cheer in the form of doughnuts and
coffee as close to the front lines as
possible, and to those isolated units
of the 92nd who frequently are un
able to take full advantage of the
division’s portable club
The clubmobile team includes: Miss
Ruth A- Pius- 855 Lincoln Ave- Cin
cinnati, formerly employed by the De
partment of Public Welfare there,
Miss Viola B- Miller, 935 St. Nich
olas Ave., New York City, formerly
with the Federated Council of Chur
ches and the Baptist City Society; anrf
another Howard University grad
uate, Miss Gladys W- Powell. 33 Em
trson Road. Boston, Mass
With the war on this front and
others threatening to last throughout
the winter, the 92nd Division feels
that the American Red Cross has
done much to make the lot of its
fighting men a bit more bearable

Released by U. S. War Department. Bureau of Public Relations
Technician Fourth Grade George McKinney, a member of the 92nd Infantry Division which is
fighting with the Fifth Army in Italy, is pictured with Italian mother and newly born baby which
he delivered. The birth took place virtually on the front lines as the nearest German observation
post was less than a mile away. A former mortician from Atlanta, Georgia, McKinney said the mother
named the child after him. The baby’s father had been taken away by the Nazis for a labor project.

DUKE'S MOODS MYSTIFIES
CARNEGIE AUDIENCE
by Lewis Simpkins
New York (PPNS) The master
maestro's baton (mythical) dropped
and the huge audience relaxed and
sat enraptured with anticipation for
the overpowering effects of the weir,;
style of Ellington tunes;—this sign
ified the opening of Duke Ellington's
third annual concert on the vast
stage of Carnegie Hall. Among the
eager crowd that filled the large hall
were Harlemites from every walk of
life—even the lad who shines shoes
at the busy intersection of 125th and
7th Avenue was seen among the
Duke worshippers.
while loyal fans still declare the
mighty man of music to be alone in
a class by himself with his usual cre
ative ability, many of them expressed
slight disappointment at the maestros
far delving into the mysteries of
symphonic fantasy. This may be at
tributed to the fact the average mind
can only follow the profound moods
of the Duke so far, after that it be
