Say, Mary L. Ivory, this isn't
leap year, so why not let John
Price come to see you instead of
you going to see him? Is it true
that Eddie L. Jackson is in love
with Rosie Lee Gynes? Is it true
that Primrose Morgan and Iris V.
are going to New Orleans, Christ
mas, don’t be disappointed girls?
Is it true that Mattie M. is en
gaged to John P? Wonder what
will Mary L. I. have to say about
that? The happy look on Prim
rose's face is due to the fact that
Pvt. Johnie S. is coming home.
Since Willie Lee left town it seems
as though Junior Price is taking
his place with Sarah Ivory.
Robert C. now sings, “Wonder
if my Baby ever thinks of me,”
could he be singing to Mary M,
Jones or Gladys Ford? Ida M.
Wheeler make up your mind be
tween Percy A., or Joe N. Pow
ell. R. H. Jackson who gave you
that black eye or did you acci
dently run into a door? Eddie L.
Jackson and Rosie Lee Gynes are
really that way about each other.
Are the two boys in Orginville
dodging their girl friends because
this month is Christmas? Joe
Powell and Ida M. Wheeler are re

Account of
War Prisoners
Is Given
Negroes of American and other
nationalities are among the pris
oners incarcerated in Germany and
Japan. There were approximately
6,000 American prisoners alone in
Germany in June. It is estimated
that thousands of colonial Negroes
captured in. North Africa and
France are also behind barbed
wires there.
Prsioners are divided into three
groups; civilians, interned when we
engaged in hostilities; fliers, brought
down over enemy territory; and the
infantrymen captured in Tunisia.
Negroes are housed indiscrimi
nately with other prisoners in Ger
many, it was learned from Dr.
Tracy Strong, world director of
War Prisoners Aid, YMCA, one of
the participating services included
in th eover-all National War Fund,
which began its nation-wide drive
for funds in October.
There is at least one method of
treatment accorded Negro and
Jewish prisoners in Germany that
differ from that of white prisoners
it was learned; that is; they are
not farmed out for agricultural
work, as are white infantry pris
oners: but are housed in the prison
camps at all times.
This is doen apparently to keep
them from mixing with the Aryan
population, which Hitler holds out
a sthe master race. Prisoners who
work on farms are frequently
housed on the farms where they
work.
Under terms of the Geneva Con
ference, fliers and internes (civil
ian prisoners) are not permitted to
work on the land.
Prison camps are already well or
ganized, according to international
regulations, with Red Cross par
cels, clothing and supplies from the
YMCA already filtering in regul
arly through neutral channels.
Dr. Benjamin Mays, president of
Morehouse College, is a member
of the board of directors of the
War Prisoners Aid, YMCA. This
agency is one of the participating
services in the National War Fund.
It conducts recreational, education
al and religious activities for the
men behind the barbed wire, who,
although comparatively comforta
ble, live bleak and barren lives at
best.
The War Prisoners Aid cooper
ates with the Red Cross, which
supplies material relief, informa
tion to families and works fo rthe
improvement of prison camp life.
The service is extended to prison
ers without regard to color or race.
Observers from neutral countries
make regular visits to the Axis
camps, talking with prisoners and
commandants, looking into their
needs and treatment.
Wherever possible the War Pris
oners Aid provides the prisoners
with games played in their home
lands, handicraft equipment, hobby
material, books, music and musical
instruments, and other things.
One big reason for food price
control is that the American peo
ple as a whole have much more
to spend than there are things to
buy.
