WOODSON CENTER COOPERA TIVE CREDIT ASSOCIATION HOLDS SECOND AN NUAL MEETING Mr. E. S- Waterbury, General Mana ger, Armour and Company Is Speaker. f Mr. E. S. Waterbury, General Man-! ager of Armour and Company spoke to a large and appreciative number of members of the Woodson Center Credit Union, Tuesday evening, the occasion being the Second Annual meeting of the Union. Speaking as a member of the Board of Directors of the Omaha Commun ity Chest, Mr. Waterbury said, “The work which is being done by the Omaha Social Settlement through its Branch, Woodson Center, stands very high in Community Chest circles, as well as other representative groups of the city ” He stated further that the “Credit Union is the most effec tive agency for cementing the Negro Group in South Omaha.” Speaking of the development of the Credit Un ions in packing industries, he brought to the attention of the audience the fact that the Omaha Plant of Armour and Company was the first packing industry to organize a Credit Union, and that out of the successful opera tion of this first Credit Union came the organization of about 80 to 100 such Credit Unions in other Armour plants, including the large one in Chicago- Later Swift and Cudahy Companies organized Credit Unions, others followed. Mr. Waterbury paid a high tribute to Mr. C. R. Orchard and Mr. Henry G. Myers, for the constructive work done in the devel opment of Credit Unions in Nebraska He emphasized the fact that CrealJ Unions were organized for the pur pose of lending money to employees at a fair rate of interest to keep them out of the hands of the “Loan Sharks.” The following officers were chosen to direct the affairs of the Credit Un ion in 1934:—Mr. S- D. Rhone, recent M. A. Graduate of Creighton Univer sity, was reelected President, Mr. H C. Garner, active member and officer of Bethel Baptist Church, was re elected Secretary-Treasurer. Mem bers reelected as Directors were: Messrs. Fred Toles, Frank Nelson and Artie McNair. Members reelected to the Credit Committee were: Messrs Hugh King, Charles Edmonds and Mrs. Lillian Wright Anders- Mem bers reelected to the Supervisory Committee were: Mrs. Anna Moore, Mr. James Fellows, and Mr. J. D. Hines The audience was pleased to be re- J minded of the fact that the first Cred it Union organized and managed by Negroes in Nebraska is the Woodson Center Credit Union- Woodson Cen ter was fortunate in having the pro gressive industrialist Mr. Waterbury speak for the Annual Meeting of the Union. Other speakers were: Miss Heen Gauss, Head Worker, Mr. R. j Harvestine, who assisted with the or-1 ganization of the Union, and Mr.1 John Flynn, Jr., Chairman of the Woodson Center Committee. A social hour followed the meeting. _ _ I EDITORIAL OF THE WEEK A WAR UPON _LYNCHING (Froni the Cleveland, Ohio Plain Dealer). Among the dubious distinctions of 1933 is that of having more lynch ings than any recent year- But on the heels of this outbreak of lawless ness comes a new and stronger de mand for action to curb it. Last evening Cleveland added its voice. Rabbi Silver’s eloquent ar raignment of lynching expresses the community’s convictions- Similar meetings, also sponsored by the Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People and other lib eral organizations, are being held this month in every state, north and south. ; In fact, the south shows an encour aging zeal to stamp out the medieval ism which finds expression in lynch “law”. In Atlanta last week women leaders from twelve southern states met to protest lynching. They ridi culed the discredited excuse that lynching helps to protect southern womanhood and expressed themselves ! in “favor of any legal measure which promises sure and permanent eradi cation of lynching.” The Cleveland meeting, and the others like it, brings support to the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, soon to be before Congress- The southern wcnfen in Atlanta expressed themselves in favor of a co-ordinated national and state attack upon lynch ing and stressed the fear of leaning too heavily on the federal govern- j ment, but they are very far from op posing federal legislation- Previous attempts to get such measures thru Congress have always been blocked by southern votes: Evidently the sen timent in the south is changing as the more intelligent leaders recognize the blot which lynching puts on the shield of any state which tolerates it.
