An Inter-Racial program, spon

is chairman, was presented at the
U. S. O. Monday evening.
Short talks were heard about the

A quartet mads up of soldiers
sang: This Is A Mean World To

Don’t Drive Your Children Away.
In the opinion o f this writer all of
these numbers were very appro-
priate, as was a summary made by
Mr. Lafayette Frederick, former
graduate of Tuskegee Institute in
Alabama, of the contribution made
by the Negro Soldier in World War
II.
Mrs. Andrews ably discussed the
contribution made to World War II
by loyal Japanese, Americans and
