Goodwill Spring Musical There are those who are begin ning to ask already about the an nual “Goodwill Spring Musical.” 1 m'ght say that the next musical will be Sunday, March 28, 1927. It as wt been decided as yet what ;h"ir will be h st. It will be decid ed, however in the near future. hie. will be the method of the pro cedure. Each choir taking psirt will end a representative when a meet ing is called to decide what choir will bo host. This representative will bring an invitation asking that their choir be host at the musical. The invitations will be received and read and the delegates will vote as to which invitation will be accept ed. Only one can be accepted. If you.' invitation should not be ac cented this time, you can look for ward to another year. Now after it is decided where the choirs will go, we hope that each choir will do all in its power to make this even a better year than the last wo. Now we are giving the date far enough ahead so there will be no conflict with any other meeting because this must, be one day of the; year when all churches and choirs come *0j-c*s-r^ with a untied spirit. So that the choirs may start n«w kh soon as he Christmas music is over, f nm asking each director to set* that his or her choir gets well pre rared on the "Hallelujah Chorus,” from the Messiah, as this will be one of the outstanding numbers rendered by al the choirs together j.at before they march out on “Now ‘he Pay is Over.” ORGANIZATIONS TO URGE EMPLOYMENT OF NEGROES BY PRIVATE CONCERNS The president <>f the National Alliance of Postal Rmployees is this week urging all organizations to contact every type of business tha can be reached to urge re-em ployment of as many of their ex eolored employees ns the business will stand, “An effort to place as ary of the race’s unemployed on s-me pay roll is gaining momentum throughout the entire nation,” said tho Alliance presklent. Bach of us can do our bit to help the cause dong by having oar service or ganizations, s"cinl and otherwise, to go after the task of getting jobs for the unemployed wholeheartedly.

LOUIS, MO.—Now thnt win ter Is here again, most of us will be spending a large part of the day In heated rooms and then going out Into the cold winds. Naturally, we’ll have trouble with that old winter problem—chapped faces and hands. * X)ry, over-heated rooms are often a major cnuse of this trouble. AU the moisture is baked out of the air by your stove or rndiators, and na turally tills atmosphere dries up some of the natural oils of your | skin. To avoid this difficulty, keep the room at a moderate temperature, around 70 to 75 degrees, and turn ofT the heaters If the room gets warmer. Keep one window open at least a little bit, so that some fresh air circulates through the room. If the air Is still dry. try placing a pan of water on top of the heater, or near It. so the water will evapor ate and spread the moisture In the air. If you keep any plants In your room, you’ll see that they look fresh er when the air Is kept moist, l’our skin will stay healthier for the surne reason. During the wintertime, your skin may dry out If you wash It too fre quently with soap and water and fail to take precautions to preserve the natural oils. Use a soap with nn oily base Instead of the dry, al kaline type. And be sure to rinse your face and hands thoroughly,' first in warm water and then in' cold, every time you wash. Unless your skin Is naturally oily, It is a good idea to use soap on your face only once a day. Before going to bed use a cleansing cream to re move all traces of cosmetics or grime, and spread on a little lubri cating cream such as cold cream or even olive oil. It is especially important to ap ply a thin layer of cream over your face and hands before going out into the wintry winds. Even If you don’t use cosmetics ordinarily, you should take this precaution to pre vent chapped skin. If you don't ordinarily use lip stick, you can keep your Ups from chapping by applying the colorless Up pomade you can hny at your drug store. It Is renlly a form of cold cream for your lips. The change to winter foods mny also be if cause of dry skin. Don't eat too nmny sweets, or too many starches like white bread, potatoes and spnghettl. Get as many green vegetables as possible, and try to Include In your diet such raw foods as lettuce, celery, milk, tomatoes and fruits.

Lillian Cunningham Bessie Wilson THE NEBRASKA LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS The Nebraska I-tfague of W"men Voters met Thursday, Dec. 3rd, at the residence of Mrs. Bland, 2809 No. 28th St. The league was open ed with s«ng and prayer by the chaplain, Mrs. Truxon. Mrs. Busch, the president, talked on the labor situation, citing negligence of the WPA to secure work for some. Mention was made of some discri mination being shown. All relief ad cinistrators have been instructed to go over relief rolls with a fine tooth comb, searching out those who are not completely dependent upon re lief grants. The Negro finds rough sledding ahead with so much dis rimination. No doubt the drastic change In relief rolls is a blow to some. The question of settling these c,/ntroversies has been put square ly up to some head. Where is there n, better unit for discussion of vo ters rights which are essential to dem(|cracy than an organized group? As a matter of fact, our meeting was crammed full of high lights for the evening. Mrs. Truxon and Mrs. Vera Graham presented the question of Negro Mayor. It was voted up on after mucih filing out of the vari ous candidates they decided upon R. C. Price. Mr. Price’s platform was presented and highly endorsed. Now members and friends, get right behind this fine movement. On Dec. 14th vote for R. C. Price, an experienced and qualified man of our group who knows our problems.
