A THOUGHT FOB THE WEBS
I would be TRUE for there are
those who trust me,
I would be PURE for there are
those who care.
I would be STRONG for there is
much to suffer,
I would be BRAVE for there is
much to dare,
I would be FRIEND to all the
many friendless,
I would be GIVING and forget
the gift,
I would be HUMBLE for I know
my weakness,
I would LOOK UP, and laugh
and love and lift
—Howard Walter.
BOYS’ WEEK
J^EXT week is to be observed as
Boys’ Week. Its purpose to make
the community realize what a valuable
asset it has in boyhood and to de
velop and conserve this asset. It is
also designed to make the boy realize
his worth to the community and to
address himself to the earnest task of
making himself all that he should be.
A full program, beginning, where it
should begin, Sunday, with the boy’s
religious life, and' continuing through
out the week, emphasizing all phases
of his life and activities h&a been
planned.
Omaha is most fortunate in that the
Men's Service League, which is spon
soring this worth-while movement, is
composed of many of Omaha’s biggest
men, physically, morally and mental
ly, and such men do things in the
right way. The program includes all
the boys of Omaha, without respect
to race or creed.
———m—arani.ju u
All citizens will enthusiastically par
ticipate in this great movement for
the conservation of the potential man
hood of the nation.
Speaking for our own group, we
feel confident that parents and chil
dren will lend their hearty co-opera
tion in helping to make the results
of Boys’ Week all that its promoters
desire it to be.
CAS SUPPLY COLOR
lyjcADOO says the democratic party
cannot afford to nominate as its
presidential standard bearer any col
orless candidate.
The Monitor respectfully suggests
that if the democrats are really sin
cere in seeking a candidate who is
not “colorless” there are many able
men among our group who can qual
ify for the job both in pigmentation
and brains.
CLEAN UP, PAINT UP
'J’HIS is a good slogan which all
self respecting citizens will be
glad to heed. Rakes and hoeg and
paint brushes are very much in evi
dence these days among our forward
looking and progressive citizens. And
have you noticed how many of these
implements of industry, cleanliness
and beauty are being dexteriusly
wielded by the hands of women?
A DIFFERENCE
MANY of our people who are loud
est in their talk of race pride are
found wanting when it comes to show
their race pride by patronizing race
enterprises. There’s a vast difference
between word and deed.
PLANT KHItl'BS AND PLOWEBS
0“R people, as a rule, love beauty.
Bright colors attract us. This furn
ishes much fun-making. Never mind
that. Better be too garish, than too
dull. Where there is a genuine love
of beauty, there will instinctively
come a toning down and a harmoni
ous blending. Let’s beautify our
grounds. Plant shrubs and flowers.
Who among us will bave the most
beautiful premises? Let everybody
plant flowers, shrubs and vines even
though this has to be done, where
there is no other place in window
boxes.

£ A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM RACE
f PREJUDICE |
$ By Morney Williams X
X (For the Associated Negro Press) £
GOD, who hast made man in Thine own likeness and V<
•{• (J who dost love all whom Thou hast made, suffer us not, X !
v because of difference in race .color or condition, to £
separate ourselves from others, and thereby from Thee; but *}•
teach as the unity of Thy family and the universality of X
Thy love. As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew t
mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House £
of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician wo- tj!
man and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be X
carried by a man of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and j;
serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole •{«
human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and X
hardness of heart, wre should despise any for whom Christ
died, or injure any in whom He lives. Amen. •{•
