Chest Drive
in November
Preparation for the annual solicita
tion of the Omaha Community Chest
to be held i nNovember is being made
under the direction of a committee
headed by Gwyer H. Yates, president
of the United States National bank as
campaign chairman.
“This year we are endeavoring to
bring the message of the Community
Chest and what its thirty agencies are
accomplishing for the relief of the
distressed, the sick, homeless children,
the aged, and in providing a program
of necessary recreation, at a time
when extensive unemployment has
caused the work of these community
service agencies to be trebled, before
every man, woman and child in Om
aha,” said Mr. Yates.
“We are going back to fundamen
tals that were stressed ten years ago
when the Community Chest was or
ganized to meet an urgent need in
Omaha. Prior to the Chest we had
some thirty separate drives for money
each year. Now we have one united
campaign.
“Previously from fifteen to thirty
percent of the money raised in cam
paigns was spent in staging these
campaigns. Now through the Com
munity Chest we have reduced the en
tire campaign expense and organiza
tion overhead to less than three per
tent.
in auuiuon tnrougn one united
Community Chest campaign for relief
and social welfare agencies, including
family care, children, orphaned or
homeless, the aged, health agencies
such as the Visiting Nurses, who work
through every section of the city, the
Hattie B. Munroe Home for crippled
children and other groups, we are
saving hundreds of volunteer workers
many hours and days of time in gath
ering this money. We are also sav
ing the people of this city the incon
venience of being solicted by thirty
individual campaign committees.”
Chairman Yates announced that the
Community Chest “belongs to the peo
ple of Omaha and we want them to
feel free to offer constructive sugges
tions or criticisms regarding the Com
munity Chest and the operation of its
thirty agencies.”
He pointed out that the Chest acts
in a supervisory capacity over the
thirty agencies and through the Chest
budget committee, composed of promi
nent Omaha business men, passes on
budgets of all Chest agencies before
money is advanced from the Chest
for those agencies.
“Last year we raised $610,000 for
the Chest”, said Mr. Yates. “Of this
sum, $90,000 in oversubscriptions was
allotted to an emergency relief fund,
without this fund, many Omaha fam
ilies would have felt the pinch of
hunger and cold last winter. We are
entering another winter with little
prospects for relief from unemploy
ment. Those of us who have jobs or
permanent incomes must do our share
to aid those who are without funds.
“The slogan ‘We Must’ has been
chosen for this campaign. No other
slogan could express the urgent need
for making the 1933 Community Chest
campaign a success.”

GRANTING OF APPEAL IN THE
SCOTTSBORO CASE EXPECTED
(Continued from page 1)
cisco Preparedness llay bomb ex
plosion.
“I am interested in seeing that
other mother’s sons get justice,” Mrs.
Mooney stated. “I know what injustice
means to them.” *
William Patterson, colored, identi
. fied in the defense of the Scottsboro
case, was among those awaiting ad
mission.
The Scottsboro appeal, charging an
unfair trial, was among the first set
for oral argument after the court had
overhauled its docket, sifting out of
nearly 400 cases those judged worthy
of review.
Walter H. Pollok, of New York, ap
pealed for the condemned youths. He
contended the boys had not been giv
en trials guaranteed by the Constitu
tion, saying their arrests were follow
ed by threats of mob violence that re
quired calling out of the State Nation
al Guard.
He also argued that with the public
mind inflamed against them the trial
judge had improperly refused to per
mit them to be tried in another coun
ty. He said they had been forced to
trial without proper preparation of
their cases by counsel and had been
denied the right to question jurors on
whether they entertained racial preju
dice.
The attorney also claimed colored
men had been excluded from the jury.
Attorney General Knight of Alabama
opposed the review. He emphasied
that the Alabama Supreme Court had
reviewed the cases and had failed to
find any grounds for interfering with
the death penalties.
vv nue admitting tnat the alleged
crimes excited “curiosity” among the
people, Knight denied public senti
ment required calling out the State
National Guard and contended that
the county sheriff had asked for the
troops to prevent any mob outbreaks.
Knight also said that the absence
of any colored men on the jury was
not significant and did not prove the
names of colored persons were not in
the box from which the jury was
drawn. He insisted that all due pro- !
cesses of law had been observed at
the trials.
During the entire argument the nine
sober judges asked but three ques
tions and the consensus of opinion is
that the appeal will be granted.

For idle hands to do,"

A-learning how to bake.

FIRST COOKING LESSONS
ITH vacation
days ahead, find
ing occupation
for little hands
is sometimes a
task that puzzles
busy mothers.
Simple cooking
is a happy solu
tion for little
girls as it keens them active and
interested and really teaches them
at the same time. First cooking
lessons can usually be given while
one is occupied otherwise in the
kitchen. A little help and super
vision will be needed, but take care
that the child feels she is really
doing the work herself and not
just looking on or obeying instruc
tions.
A good recipe to start with is
Butterscotch cookies since it is
simplicity itself and the results are
delightful. The entities might
well be halved fo.> •. ae youngest be
ginner.
For the full amount, cream *4
of a oup of butter and to it grad
ually add one cup brown sugar.
Next, sift self-rising flour and
measure out three cups of it. No
baking powder nor salt need be
added, which simplifies the task
for the novice, since extra siftings
to blend the leavening are avoided.
Explain to the child just what leav
ening does to a batter, and how
the calcium and phosphorous which
are in the flour leavening are es
sential to good health and strong,
straight bones. Add the flour and
lastly the nuts and vanilla to the
barter and mix well.
Turn the stiff hatter onto a sheet
or floured wax paper, mold with
the hands into two long rolls, wrap
in the paper and place in the re
frigerator over night, or at least
for several hours.

W, R. PATRICK
The election of W. R. Patrick, as
District Judge, should be a matter of
personal interest to every colored vot
er. Mr. Patrick resorts to no flat
tery or cajolery, but tells the colored
rnan that character and not color is
the thing by which their race is to be
judged. He also tells him not to as
sume the attitude of an inferior
that he is an American citizen and in
hs enjoyment of his privileges as
such, like any other citizen is entitled
to the esteem that he earns; that be
fore any court, whether seeking re
dress for wrongs or in defense of his
liberty or life, he is entitled to the
same consideration and the same
courtesy that is due any other liti
gant. Mr. Patrick is not susceptible
to outside influence of any character,
and believes in measuring justice with
the same yard stick for rich or poor,
black or white alike, without the
least discrimination of any character.

A REAL CANDIDATE
0--0
Mr. Chris A. Tracy, present chief
deputy register of deeds is up for re
election on Nov. 8, and should have
our full support. Mr. Tracy was a
former student at Creighton Univer
sity, is married and has two children,
is a good and clean Christian gentle
man with a record of many years ser
vice in the Register of Deeds Office.
This office carries seven employees
and we point with pride to the fact
that Mr. Tracy has shown great im
partiality when he appointed Mr.
Willis Gray as one of these seven
clerks because we feel that this col
ored young man represented all that
Mr. Tracy could expect out of any
man regardless of his race or creed.
Remember a vote for Chris A. Tracy
on Nov. 8, means a vote for a colored
employee and if elected they both will
continue in their good positions of
trust and service.
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES TO FIGHT

Served notice that they intend to vig
