VETERANS OF ITALIAN CAMPAIGN ARRIVE HOME FROM GERMAN PRISON CAMPS
Three Mustang fighter pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group and a battle-hardened Doughy of tne 92nd Infantry division are pictured above at Camp Shanks, New York, shortly after their arrival on May 29 with 2,675 American soldiers liberated from German priso
camps by the surging Allied armies. Veterans of the Italian Campaign, they had distinguished themselves in combat against the Nazis until they were captured in spirited engagements. Pictured, from left: First Lieutenant Charles T. Williams, Los Angeles, Calif
breaks the good news to the folks back home; he flew nine missions before engine trouble forced him down in central Yugoslavia. Second Lieutenant Richard D. Macon, Birmingham, Ala., who was shot down on his fifth mission while strafing German radar equipment 1
France, surveys the scenic surroundings at Camp Shanks. Private Rothacker C. Smith, Detroit, Mich., (left) enjoys his first meal back in the States. He was captured near Pisa after being wounded. First Lieutenant Roger B. Gaiter, Seaside Heights, N. J. (right)

^ Most people regard the soot
which accumulates in their fur
naces as just a dirty nuisance. It
is that, of course, but more seri-j
ously, it is also a waster of fuel,>
and as such it needs to be periodic*
ally removed. 1
I- In the first place, soot is un'
burned fuel. It is the carbon fron*
*the coal which should have gone!
into heat. Secondly, it is one ofl
'the best known insulators, and if
it were not so dirty it would make
jthe finest kind of insulation mate
rial. When this insulation is de-l
posited on the inside of a furnace
radiator, it stops the heat front
passing through to the distribut
ing system. To obtain the required
amount of heat, more fuel must be
fed to the fire, and this, in turn,
creates still more soot to rob you
«f still more heat. It becomes one
iOf those vicious circles which eats
Snto the coal pile most scandal-!
ously. (
One large furnace manufacturer
with several hundred factory
branches maintains a special de-l
partment for the mechanical clean^
ing of furnaces through means of
a suction apparatus, which pulls
out the soot and carts it away
without muss or fuss. This serv-i
Xce is inexpensive, and should be
made an annual operation for the!
sake of fuel economy. After the
war you will be able to buy a coal
burning furnace that burns up all
the soot and never needs to be de
sooted, but until then you had bet-1
ter keep your present furnace in
good shape by having it regularly
de-sooted, the same as you regu*
larly de-frost your refrigerator.

Clean Generators
There are a number of ways to
Clean or renew the generators Of
gas pressure stoves, heaters and
urn burners so that they function
like new ones insofar as service or
operation is concerned. The most
successful method of removing the
carbon is to disassemble the gen
erators and pass the parts through
a solution of saltpeter which has
been made liquid by heating to a
temperature of about 2,000 degrees.
The generator parts, when treated in
this manner, come out entirely free
of carbon, and when reassembled
the generator works like new. This
method, of course, can only be used
when the generator renewal vol
ume is great enough to justify the
expense.
on the work for one year. A Com
mittee consisting of a chairman
for each denomination was ap
pointed to work with the Execu
tive Secretary in this Drive.
Among the highlights of the
meeting was the report of Reverend:
Jernagin on the activities of the
Washington Bureau. Many lead
ers were impressed and commented
on this report. They saw clearer
than ever before the vital need
for the Bureau. Among those who
commented was Bishop R. E. Jones
who said that he had worked with
Rev. Jernagin for 50 years, had
studied his character and watched
him grow. “He has developed as
one of the most unique characters
in this race of ours.”
As a reward for the outstanding
achievement of Rev. W. H. Jar
nagin as Director of the Washing
ton Bureau, he was chosen by the
Fraternal Council to represent the
entire Negro Church to carry good
will and cheer to our men and
women of the U. S. Armed forces
at the war fronts. He will go as
an official visitor for the U. S.
government.
The Council voted to become in
corporated under the laws of the
District of Columbia and the new
name selected for incorporation is
National Fraternal Council of Ne
gro Churches in America.
The Officers chosen to carry on
the work of the Council are: Bish

Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr., Execu

THREE OUTSTAND
ING NEGROES OF 1945
In memory of three outstanding
Negroes and their contributions
to the fields of American literature,
art and poetry, many USO clubs
are introducing cultural programs
throughout June which will last
from one day to a week. Club
directors, both white and Negro,
will develop their own programs.
Some are considering having dram
atic readings from the works of
prominent Negroes, others musi
cal events, and still others art ex
hibits.
The three men to be honored are
Charles Waddell Chesnutt, Henry
Ossawa Tanner, and Paul Law
rence Dunbar. Mr. Chesnutt was
the first Negro novelist in the
United States. He was born 1858
and died 1932. A native of Cleve
land, Ohio, he moved to North
Carolina where he taught school
and later was admitted to the bar.
He is best known for a series of
short stories entitled “The Con
jure Woman” which originally ap
peared in The Atlantic Monthly.
Mr. Tanner, living during the
same period as Charles Chesnutt,
studied painting in Philadelphia
and Paris and gained renown for
his paintings of biblical sbjects.
Mr. Dunbar who lived from 1872
to 1906 in Dayton, Ohio, produced
many outstanding short stories and
novels in dialect verse.

With electric cooking, you’ll serve piping hot meals
on warm summer days without heating up your whole
kitchen. With electric cookery, the heat stays in the
range. It cooks the food—not the cook.

Mulch Depth
The mulch should be only of me
dium depth after it has settled down,
about two inches. A very deep or
thick mulch may defeat the purpose
by absorbing the water from any
light rain before it reaches the soil,
thus making the water shortage
more serious. In rainy areas, too,
mulching may be harmful because
it helps to keep the soil too wet.
This mulching material, when it
has served its purpose, may be used
as the start of a compost pile.
Comfort Wounded
One of the duties of the air trans
port command chaplains is meeting
the many hospital planes that fly
from the battlefronts to hospitals
and rest camps back in the United
States. In all kinds of weather and
at all hours of the day and night,
the ATC chaplain is on hand with
the flight surgeon and nurse to serve
the spiritual needs of the wounded
men and wish them Godspeed to
the next stop on their journey
homeward.
Small Turkeys
Some of the small-type turkeys,
recently developed by the poultry
scientists of the U. S. department
of agriculture, are proving to be ex
cellent layers. Records of the bureau
of animal industry show that, during
1944, one turkey hen bred at the
Beltsville (Md.) research center laid
211 eggs and another 206 eggs. Av
erage turkeys normally lay from
40 to 60 eggs during the spring
months and few, if any, during the
remainder of the year.
