live On State street. I'saw and read
your column in: the paper and TI

like that for cur colored pcople,
~when mother said she thought the

Dear sir:

I am interested in your training
program for potential dreftees. 1
have inquired cf Majer Lester W..
Priugle as to who was. eligible and;.What. were the hours for such train
ing.

Major Pringle iinforms me that
ANY ~prospective draftee was ELIGIBLE. Put when I explained that ~
I was colored. Major Pringle became'lost as to what could. be done
in My.case as well as in such Cases |
coming | from other colored applicants.

I wish ~to know just what steps
are fQeressary to make ayailable
such jnstruction for colered men
who wish this training? We hardly expected a segregated program
here in the middle of the all-out
war effort

Everywhere a Colored man attempts to enter himself as an
American into the effective participaticn in DCemocracy~s defense,
he discovers a bottle-neck is created by thoSe in authority in the
flow of manpower for our armed
forces. Is not. this| to be an allout effort by.all, including the
same type of men as is already
fighting in Libya? Malaya? Sumatra? Java? Australia? New Guinea? India? and other places or
the Allied fronts? Colored Allies,
they all are. Colored Americans
should be no exception. Do you
leaders plan to ~ration Colored
manpower in this war? Please reDiy with suggestions, to Donald
Hopkins, in care of Flini-Brownies News, 830 Pingree, Flint

The story thus far:

Bobby, an orphan and an unwanted boarder at Cook's
boarding school, has at last
made friends with his bitter
enemy, Freddy, but the two
boys, in Bobby~s room on the
3rd floor are trapped by flames
Which are rapidly consuming
the building.

rush about, piling chairs and boxes
in the center of the room, aid tying sheets together. Then~ Bebby,~
scrambling to the top of the pile
With his shoe in his hand, broke

Bobby hoped, was their salvation
Then grabbing the edge he pulled

started forward, suddenly the
hoards gave way keneath his feet.
He would have. plunged to his
death, if Fred hadn~t grabbed him.

Retracing their steps, they tried
another advance to the edge of the
roof. They could hear the excited
sheuts of the people below, and

his aid. Down below, hundreds of
anxious eyes watched the two tiny
figures struggling for their lives:
Every possible chance to rescue the
boys had been made, by firemen,
melice and volunteers. Their hope
was, if the boys could get to the
edge so they could jump. Everyone {
was hoarsely shouting encourage~rents ~and Suggestions to the boys
as they neared the edge. ~Just a

~Yes~yes, let me go, Beck, and

~No~we'll wrap ourselves in this
