earl*- zeal for preparedness and
valuation of time was the pathway
ever which she tread leading to an
undeniable success.
She forcefully related her per
sonal conviction “That what ever
is good for the hand, the mind,
and the brain of white America is
also good for brown America. Her
prophecy was that the time is fast
approaching when the world will
not be concerned with what color
you are, but what you can do and
how well you can do it.
In introducing Dr. Bethune, Mrs.
.Robbie Turner I Davis, who holds
a Masters degree from Howard
University, referred to Dr. Beth

long time been as a friend of You

Hastings and the federal TV A
promoters have been trying to
make an impression by the formu
lation of an agreement between
that city> and the TVA-ers to ex
change power with the Central
Nebraska, the Columbus and the
Flatte district. Significant are the
facts that the agreement is only
for one year; that the Central Neb
braska, if ever completed, cannot
be in operation for at least two
years; that the Columbus power
houses are said to be ready to go
bu* have so far not announced
any receipts or market except the
power house of the Platte Valley
district, and that the latter cannot
j as yet run water through the ditch
es constructed 3 year ago. Cities
which aim fully to protect their
wn interests, seem to be anxious
to evade the touch of the blighting
hand of the power bureaucracy,
and completely to retain the secur
ity they now have in their own
steam aP'nt contruction and local
rate making. Even a recent letter
to the public by Mr. Wigfield, the
Virginia—-or is it Georgia—PWA
engineer for Nebraska, admits that
fhere will have to be an increase

The union is further requesting
that wages be paid in cash and
that the workers l,e allowed to

Mr. Mclntire found, upon investi

eldom see cash and relatively few
are paid weekly in full. The com
mon treatment is to he paid off in
script, and they must take up thei„
beans and rice from a commissary

worker is greatly overcharged for
