Today there are 750,000 Negro men and women in the armed forc es Our hearts are grieved every time we see a Colored boy or girl in the uniform of a country that doesn’t appreciate them And how our hearts bleed when we read letters from Negro boys in southern camps and talk to Negro soldiers of the abused treatment they are receiving daily. We of “Tomorrow’s World” know we must achieve a successful victory so our boys won’t have to come back to the same America they left. Recently a letter was received by me from a boy stationed in Camp Polk. La A little of the letter follows “'As I write this letter to you, I'm scared for this place is Hell.

T othe boys and girls of today, will you consider being one of us.. Join our Club so that our children won't have to face a world of fear The poem which follows was writ ten by the neice of Rev F. C. Wil liams: The name is. “DRIVE OX, BLACK BOY” I know the odds are against you. .. Your struggle will be long and hard, But drive on, Blackboy, you'll make it. If your trust is in the Lord 1 You’ll meet many oppositions; To retard you in your way, But just keep on driving, bey— You’ll reach your goal some day. It won't be a downhill journey, There will be many mountains to climb— And you may have to cross the ocean _ But drive on and take your time. Yes, yo umay have to rest for a. while— When the knocks seem too hard to bear But don’t get discouraged, don’t give up — Remember that Jesus is there! When trouble is pressing againBt you, And you can't tell the night from day . Just keep on driving black boy, Because Jesus is there to stay. They may have their foot on you And there’re trying to keep you down— But if you have Jesus as your guidet No one can turn you down. I kijow the roads rock and rough But there's a smooth road just a head— And if you are striving to reach your goal— Don’t look for a flowery bed Yes, Drive on Black Boyj keep driving. You’ll benefit from your toil. Drive over the stony and thorny ground. and land on fertile soil. Drive on Black Boy.Drive on! Against Injustice, Prejudices and strife. Against Obstacles and Great dis apointmenls. You’re driving toward a much better life. Next week you will read more of ■‘Tomorrow’s World ” ---- “The other day I heard one of our riders say ‘fare-fumblers’ caused him to be late on the job. And he was right. ‘Fare fumblers’ often cause need less delay.” A few seconds lost at each stop soon make cars and busses minutes late. Please do what you can to help . . . always have your fare ready before boarding the cars. Save that lost time to speed victory! Further help by following these friendly suggestions: • Travel more from 10 to 4 avoiding the rush periods. • Move back in cars. • Have your fare ready. OMAHA & COUNCIL BLUFFS STREET RAILWAY COMPANY we kept things on a friendly basis but when he wanted to kiss me goodnight. I thought we had known each other long enough and allowed him to. The next day 1 re ceived a note from him saying he was sorry. He knew he shoudn't kiss me but wanted to so much Since then he's wanted to kiss me every night. Our parents are the best of friends and we are thrown together quite often. Now do you think- he likes me and is waiting for me to grow up or passing off time? Ans: He seeks you out imrned iatey upon his arrival home and that’s proof enough that you inter est him more than anyone else This interest he shows in you should not be confused with love but is more or less a mutual liking be tween two attractive young people However, it might develop into something more serious and lasting in time. As for the kissing.be a little conservative and stingy with your caresses for anything given too freely decreases in value Don’t practice it too frequently. C. X.—I am a married woman in love with a married man. He says he loves me. I have reason to be lieve he is having an affair with an older woman and I am so unhappy as we quarrel most of the time. We have been going together sixteen >;ears. I’ll do what you say is best. Ans: You have no priority on his heart and there is absolutely nothing that yo ucan do about his adventures. His actions are his wife’s concern and not yours at all. You two have been friends for a number of years and it may be dif ficult for you to break away from him but that is the only fair and honorable way out As long as you persist on carrying on this af fair you will never derive the hap piness from your marriage that is justly due you Give your husband a chance to make you happy. E. C. W.—I always write you when I need help. I am making my plans to get a lunch stand and be gin serving meals. Do you think that I will succeed along this line'.’ Ans; WGth the experience that you have had previously, you should do very well in a business of this kind The type food you plan to serve will not be affected too much by the present rationing j There certainly is a demand for eat ing places in your section. Li. B L..—I want to tell you a bout my annoying problem. I am 1 and my boy friend is 23. A boy of 19 was coming to see me before I met the older boy. I didn’t tell him about his coming I told the younger boy not to come anymore as I loved the older boy dearly. I met the younger boy one day and while talking, the other fellow came up in his car and now he wants to suit because he says I’ve been do ing this all along behind his back I really love him so what must I do to prove to him that I really love him and not the other young fel low? Ans: Your friend has no right to monopolize all of your time when you are not engaged This spurt of authority is just plain jealousy Sometimes it takes a little compet ition to make a fellow open his eyes and appreciate what he has at his finger tips, -^on't let his actions offend you because if he is serious and wants to mean anything in your life, he will not let the above epi sode come permanently betwreen you two. A girl should be friendly and cordial to all the young people if she is to remain popular. Funeral Eulogy Touched by the Hand of the Dark Visitor. . MR EZEKIAL MICKENS Mr..
