past eleven months he's been over
seas and, at present, he is located
at Guam. His wife, Louise, said
that she hoped now* that the war
is over there will be everlasting
peace.
“I’m so happy that George can
come home now.” his wife said.
“He's planning to build a home
and settle down when he returns."
The couple had only been mar
ried a short while before his in
duction. Mrs. Rushing is living

THE CHAPMANS at 18520 Re

been hospitalized in Hawaii. Har
old, a former Michigan Chronicle

ly one year on August 14, the
day the Jap surrender was an
nounced. Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Chapman, daughter Joyce, and two
other sons, Kenneth and Donald,
plan a gala celebration for Harold
when he does return.
"I cried for Jov on V-J Day,”
Mrs. Chapman declared. "Now
juat as aoon as my son returns,
he plans to continue his educa
tion although he Is contemplat
ing marriage. He will study em
balming.”
Paul. Phil, and Tom Stevens
were especially happy at the pros
oect of having Jerome and Stanley
home again. Mrs. Stevens said
that it would seem more like
home than It had since Mr. Stevens
died a few weeks ago. Jerome's
record show’s two and one-half
years in the service and twenty
months overseas, while Stanley has
four years w*ith 14 months over
seas. They both are in Germany
now.
• * •
PAUL and Jerome plan to or
ganize a band. Phil kept repeating
"It’s a great and wonderful thing
that the boys will be able to come
home. I've been looking forward
to it for so long."
"I haven’t been able to be with
Sanders much,” said his wife, the
former Florence Lowery of 10302
Delmar, "and I’m anxiously watt
ing for his return. Then we can
atart realizing our many plans
and dreams for the future. I’m
haopier than I could hope to ex
press at the prospect of his com
ing home soon.” Sgt. Bandars R.
Jones Is stationed at HIU Field,
Ogden, Utah.
"Daddy's coming home” said
two-year-old Darwyn Apple, son
of S-Sgt. and Mrs. John Apple.
S-Sgt. Apple has been in Italy
for one and one-half of his four
years in service.
Alice, his wife, has valiantly
"carried on." "I'm so thankful
that he was spared. To me, that
is most important—he’s alive and
able to come home. When he does,
we shall start our life anew. It
was interrupted while we were yet
beginning. Our future home, se
curity, and such are things about
which I’m wondering at the pres
ent.
"Many people warned me against
marrying a man in the service.
'You never know what might hap
pen,’ they said. I never doubted
for a moment, that he would re
turn. Time has proven that my
waiting has not been in vain.
"It's time that my husband and
his son w*ere getting acquainted,
too. I’ve brought Darwyn up thus
far, alone. I've tried to bring him
up the way his father wanted him
to be. Now, he'll be able to help
me." Mrs. Apple and her son.
Darwyn. are residing with her par
ents at 3449 Parker.

Race Riots Are Not
Necessary, Says Lee
NEW YORK—Explaining that
race riots are not necessary. Dr.
Alfred McClung Lee. professor of
sociology at Wayne university, re
cently issued a pamphlet for the
Public Affairs Committee here, in
conjunction with the American
Council on Race Relations.
• • •
DR. LEE outlined a long-term
program which would prevent
riots as well as a 10-point pro
gram for action when a riot
threatens.
He was assisted in the prepara
tion of the 30-page booklet by 35
national organizations, represent
ing labor, management service
groups, women’s and youth groups.
"Housing and employment."
the pamphlet states, "ere the
key Issues. They do the most
to create friction."
* • •
TO THESE TWO danger signals.
Dr. Lee adds #£ve other* jvhich
are 'evident long before * a race
riot begins. They are rumors, race
incidents, demagogic groups, juve
nile crimes and police bias.
"What we see on the surface Is
bad enough—a race riot, a lynch
ing or a tense inter-racial incident
in a plant, a store or a street car."
The worst part, inequities, dis
crimination and segregation, lies
underneath, he continues.
... f
THE PAMPHLET advises that
an emergency committee of stra
tegists and explorers in social ac
tion must be formed immediately
when danger signals are seen of
approaching race violence in these
seven areas.
Steps to be taken fnelude mak
ing use of civic and service clubs,
consulting management and labor
leaders, obtaining aid of veterans
groups, mobilizing youth organiza
tions and planning newspaper
coverage.
The individual, says Dr. Lee.
can help a “tense inter-rarial
situation" by not passing rumors
along and by not be-oming
alarmed at rumors of violence.
