SATURDAY, .TUNE 10, 1043 LAUNDRIES ARE NECESSARY Half a million housewives went to war during 1942. They took jobs on production lines, In offices and in all the innumerable places where women are releasing men for the armed forces. Women make up the hulk of ..... mwr replacements and many thousands more must he employed in the months to come. Pome women are employed in direct war work hut the majority are helping to maintain those vital civilian services without which it would he'impossible to continue turning out the tools of war. Laudry work is an important civilian service which has been hard hit by the manpower shortage. In increasing numbers women are being relied upon to keep this industry functioning? many laundries have rearranged their hours so that housewives can help out part-time while their children are in school. Tn Providence. R. T., the situation hecame so desperate that women over 70 arc called on. One oldster of 75 recently was sewing on buttons in a local laundry and another, five years her junior, was pressing hankerchiefs five days a week although she had an independent income and would not ordlnavily he working. In upper New York State, two married women have been driving pick-up trucks for n laundry and dry cleaning establishment. People warp mildly surprised to see them doing this work, these women said, "but they are getting used to it." One of the women bad bad some experience along this line since she used to drive a milk truck on her husband's milk route. And both were enthusiastta about the Job which Includes checking over .their trucks every day There are openings here in Oreensboro for hundreds of women at attractive wages. I SINGING MARINES AT CAMP LE.IEUNE One of the most stirring war songs of the armed services is "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli" ? but the official Marine Corps Hymn is only one of many songs which get a daily workout, at Montford Point. Canvp Lejeune. N. C., where 2,000 Negro Marines are being trained. In admitting Negr orecruits last June, the Marine Corps received new voices and ? like all other branches of the armed THE FUT I services ? a large number of I Negro musicians. Most popular aggregation at the post ? and in all the neighboring cities and towns in Eastern North Carolina ? is the Montford Point Choir of 30 > voices. Nucleus of this group is the Exotic Harmonies ? five sweet voices fro mthe Deanwood section of Washington, D. C., which started harmonizing in high school days. When Marine enlistment was opended to Negroes last year, the Exotic Harmonies volunteered in a body, but one failed to pass the physical examination. Pour were accepted and they immediately took charge of the musical program in the camp at New River. . Today, one of them, Cpl. Ivan Randolph Elmore, directs the large choral group, and three others. Private Tom and Bill Branch, brothers, and James W. Brown join In on the harmonizing. The choir doesn't hold the whole spotlight at Montford Point, however. Included among the many other vocal and instrumental musicians on the post is Cpl. Walker Manley of 1 Raleigh. Corporal Manley is not only the organist for the Montford Point chapel, he is also the organist to rthe large chapel at the headquarters branch of Camp Jejeune. In his spare time he gives organ lessons to sevcrel recruits at the Marine base. Before entering the service, Corporal Manley was organist o fthe Christian Church of Ra | leigh and a demonstrator of the Hammond Organ for theStevens Music Company of that city. All of the boys can get together on the "The Halls of Montezuma." but* a few of the old standbys of the Exotic Harmonies make pretty good singing, too. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON WHO IS A CHRISTIAN? (lOldrn Text: lint if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship oiie with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all i sin.?I John 1:7. ' MARKS OF A CHRISTIAN, What are the distinguishing marks of a Christian? We often Mini question today, and it will be Interesting to learn how the elder leaders of the Church characterized a Christian. I Many Christians can he identified only by some artificial monogram or eccelsiastical, signature they wear on the outside of their lives. Others have indelibly stamped upon them the marks of the Lord Jesus. The author of this Epistle of John Is here attempting to describe the distinctive character that results from* an acceptance of Christ. It Is quite as difficult to define It as it would be to analyze the perfume and beauty I of a flower. Picking it to pieces will not lay hare the sources of Its charm, but for the sake of clearness there are some traits that can he distinguished. First, It goes without, saying that a Christian should he Christlike. "Hereby we know that'we known him, if we keep his commandments."

Many a pagan is honest in his business, faithful to his friends, kind to his family; but when he becomes a Christian, he accepts an interpretation of life which demands an extension of the ideals of Christ to every field of human relationship and activity. It is not enough now to he honest in his business; he must deal justly with all men everywhere. He must be kind not only to his friends and his family but also to every Child of God. A second mark of Christian character, according to this lesson. is the quality of love and good will. "If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us." This attitude forbids all racial prejudice and national egotism. Ii reproves every sense of superior ity based on clase? or rank 01 wealth.

This has alwayi remained a distinction of Chris tian character: It Is not. depend ent, on outward conditions. I is freedom from inward conflict anxiety, and fear. It is the tran quillity of the soul in harmonj with God. Itself, and it neighbor Christianity is pre-eminently thi religion of hopefulness.
