Salem Extends Call
To Rev. Bilbrew
It is reported that the Salem Bap
tist church has extended a call as
pastor to the Rev. Dr. R. H. Bil
brew, of Dallas, Texas, and that Dr.
Bilbrew has wired his acceptance of
the call.
This will leave only one outstand
ing Omaha church without a pastor,
and it is to be hoped that they will
follow the lead of Salem church and
call a qualified churchman and min
ister, such as Dr. Bilbrew is known
to be, as their pastor.
Texas is noted for the eminently
qualified clergymen who have come
into the north, north east, and north
west from there, to serve with honor
and distinction in pastorates.

LINCOLN NEWS
Colonel Millard Woods The Ur
ban League Secretary Cham
pioned The Negro Division of
the Chest Drive in Lincoln.
The Lincoln Community Chest
marked another successful drive
this year. The division B. to wrhich
belonged the Negro workers Mill
ard Woods, Colonel, and Rev. O.
J. Burckhardt, Captain was the
first division to reach its goal. The
Lincoln Chest Drive out of the
i400 cities was the first to go over
■the top with a sum of six figures.
! Colonel Woods and Captain
Burckhardt were elated over the
splendid work done by their
Lieutenants and ooworkers know
ing the difficult problems they
had to contend with this year in
making the drive.
Mr. Trago McWilliams Sr., and
Mrs. Maude Johnson were Cap
tain Burckhardt’s first choice as:
Lieutenants, but Mr. McWilliams
business made such a demand on '
his time, that he was not able toj
fill the position ,as Lieutenant,;
but Mrs. Maude Johnson who
don’t know what defeat means
led off with her usual skill and
tack and starred. Mrs. Mamie
Griffin well known in church and
race work throughout the city and
state made a fine showing though
she worked under some handicap
as a Lieutenant, and then our old
friend Geo. B. Evans who was
never known to say no, in doing
anything to promote the interest
of his race made a splendid Lieu
tenant, Mrs. Catherine Robinson
was also chosen as a Lieutenant) j
and part of the time she wTas |
otherwise engaged but her hus
band James proved to be a valu
able substitute in her absence,
an dbetween the two, real work
was done. Mrs. Ollie Brewer who
is a willing little worker accept
ed the position as Lieutenant and
gave to the work what time she
could which was highly appreciat
ed, by both Colonel and Captain.
Time will not permit us to tell
the great wrork done by the Lieu
tenants helpers ,among the fore
most being Mrs. Pearl Chrisman,
that sweet singer of Israel. Mrs.
Sarah Walker ,Mrs. Elizabeth,
Woods, Mrs. Ida Hassel, Mr. Ken
neth Smith .Mrs. Ernsteen Woods.
Mr. Burt Newrton ,Miss Olga Har
ris, Miss Teresa Crews, Mrs. Flor
ence Chatman, Mrs. Florence
Blooah, Mrs. Bassila Bell. These
workers were all faithful, and
did not only work, but gave of
1 their own money to make the
1 drive a success. The success of
j the Community Chest drive this
year will doubtless mean much to
the Negro population of Lincoln.
Through the skill and diplomacy
and racial interest of Millard
W oods, who has the confidence
and respect of the ones who are
in a position to say howT much of
this money shall go to the differ
ent institutions meet their needs.
Mr. Woods the efficient secretary,
of the Urban League is acquainted
with real need of his race group
1 and never grows tired of making
| the same plain to those who are in
a position to render aid to the
help of the race.
This report is made by Captain
Burckhardt. - ^ '

Tuberculosis Death
Rate Declines; 4 Cities
Show Increase
Chicago, Oct. 12, (ANP)—Al
though four cities with Negro
populations of 100,000 or over
showred increases, death rate
through the nation among col
ored from tuberculoses continued
to decline in 1934, although at
not so rapid a rate as during the
preceding year. This decline, de
spite economic conditions, was
revealed in an exclusive report to
the Associated Negro Press by
Godias J. Drolet, gtatistisian and
acting director of the New York
Tuberculosis and Health Associa
tion.
The Drolet survey, which in
cludes the 42 largest cities and
the known mortality of their resi
dents, both in town and in health
resorts, reveals a death drop of
five per cent in 1934 after a six
per cent drop in 1933. Negro
population in these cities totaled
2,759,702. In 1934, 6,096, or 220.9
per hundred thousand, died. The
1933 survey showed 6,217 deaths
at a rate of 232.9. In the 42
cities for 1934 Negro mortality
was 27.9 per cent of the total of
21,833 among both races.
Memphis Low, Atlanta High
Memphis showed the biggest
decline of any of the major cities
studied. It’s 111,217 Negroes
showed a drop of 20 per cent.
New York ,with 400,372, dropped
6 per cent; Chicago, 286,502.
dropped 14; Detroit, with 152,
918, dropped 14; New Orleans,
with 141,532, dropped 12; Birm
ingham, w’ith 111,036, dropped
six tenths of one per cent; St.
Louis, with 103,419, dropped 4.
Increased death rates from
tuberculosis were showm in four
cities, Atlanta, with 101,388 Ne
groes, increased 11 per cent;
Washington, with 141,231, in
creased three tenths of one per
cent; Baltimore, with 156,114, in
creased 10, and Philadelphia,
with 254,997, increased 2.
Omaha, Worst, Syracuse Best
The 4 4 best * and 4 4 worst ’’ cities
were not in the 100,000 class.
Omaha showed the largest pro
portionate death rate rise, jump
ing 300 per cent in 1934 for its
population of 11,459. However,
Cincinnati retained its title as
having the highest actual martal
ity with a death rate of 372 per
100,000, a rise of 3 per cent over
1933. Syracuse retained its title
of 4 4 healthiest ’ ’ city with only
one death last year in its 2,163
Negro population, a decline of 4
per cent over 1933.

AMERICANS TELEPHONE
MORE IN A MONTH THAN
GERMANS IN A YEAR
★
The people of the United States lead the world in
using the telephone. Germany ranks next to this
country in number of telephones but Americans make
more calls in a month than Germans do in a year.
The United States has more than half the world's
telephones and averages 73,400,000 calls a day. It has
the best and cheapest telephone service in the world.
This Company and other Bell companies are better
able to meet your needs for telephone service than
they otherw ise would be because they have back of
them the national resources of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company,the BellTelephone Laborato
ries and the Western Electric Company.
The American Company coordinates the opera
tions of its associated companies, furnishes them advice
and assistance in all phases of telephone operations
and owns and operates the long distance lines which
tie them together. The Bell Laboratories carry on
research to improve service and keep down its cost.
The Western Electric Company manufactures stand
