Principal Speakers on the pro-' gram were Dr. Patteraj^, and Juiilwt' Black, both. ed for a solid ’ front races an,] croeds of the America citi zenship. I Justice Black warned hij, hear ers against citizens of the United States becoming too complacent and confident in this war. “This is no ordinary war, said the jur ist “Never before in the long history of mankind has there been So clear so deadly a conflict bet ween barbarism and civilization, between slavery and freedom,” said Mr. Black. * * Civilian pleasures, business profits, special privileges of every kind, must all be subordinated to the one and primary task of an all-out effort ti win. Wo are, therefore, forcibly confronted with the question df personal sacrifice. We must deny ourselvH of daily necessities so that they cnn be donated to the Bervices of tlinse who so bravely fight in the b.nttle fronts.” The Supreme Court justice said it wSs time to quit quarreling and I'lnving into the hands of an Axis that would love to divide the country. He belittled Ameri cans wjjo argue that tanks be kept at home, who harp on the “Hiisaian tnenace^” or who say let rhinn and Japan fight it out between themselves. He described such critics of the wnr effort executing the Axis’ hope that they will “dig their f'T>-n graves—and the grave of the rest of us as well.” Black said, “We have a respon sibility to the world and to our selves not only to destroy thoSe tyrannies that now threaten our lives but to help bring aboat that cooperation ajnong nations ne- eoftsary to give the pe,oples of all rations th® right to work and the rijrht to attain those living stand ards and those elements of secur ity and freedom t(» which they are justly entitled.” Music for the occasion was ftjrnished by a 60aroice chorus from the University of North NEWLY COMMISSIONED OFFICERS Flint Coodrige In Postgraduat e Class —V— **: TbiptjE fix piijetjf, J5frbfc sev«;i states attendC cd th# Mventh uiinual postgradu ate course for physicians at Flint Ooodridge hospital of Dillard university during the past two period from June 22 to July 3, and consisted of a faculty of 40 doctors, most of whom are mem bers of the medical school facul- tie^ of Tulane and Ijouisiana Rt.itc Universities.
