A NEW NEGRO FIRE
DEPARTMENT
Mi. Negro Voter, do you want
another Negro Fire Department
14 you do, take it from one who
knows from whereof he speaks.
A vote for Korisko means just
that.
If Mr Walter Korisko is elected
just as soon as means can be
available to put on another Negro
Fire Department, unequivally, it
will be done.
Thirty-five years ago when we
camo to Omaha, in Omaha there
lived at that time a Negro popu
lation of 4,500. The leaders of that
little group had been successful
in rnanjivering to the point where
they had a Negro Fire Depart
ment at 30th and Spaulding St. j
Today, and for the last twenty j
years, the Negro population ha<
increased to between 12,00 and
16,500. So we have been talking
to Mr. Korisko about the Negro
portion of employment.
We met, as we expected in Mr.
Korisko, a ready response and he |
has authorized me Mr. C. C. Gallo- |
way, Acting Editor of The Oma- j
hr Guide, to say that this matter
had already been discussed be- I
tween him and the chief of the
J fire Department, and he fully ex
pected to give the Negroes another
| Fire Department just as soon as
means were available to do it
with He also sta'ed that the. man
power of the City Fire Depart
ment, due to pay as you go system
which the Council had adopted was
short of man power at the present
time. In fact, he said that the
department is about 14 men below
the minimum requirement, and
that he expected to take up that
slack as early a? possible.
Now, Mr. NEGRO VOTER, if
you want a new NEGRO FIRE
DEPARTMENT, a vote for Mr.
Walter Korisko is a vote for a
new Nyrro Fire Department.

Rush Is On to See New York x
Fair
New York—The rush is on to
sco the New York World’s Fair
1939—but don’t think for one mo
ment that the greatest city ira
the world is hiding its light, or its
billion and one lights under any
bushel. New York is the compan
ion lure which is attracting the
60,000,000 or more visitors to its
own show this summer.
The first million are expected
for the Fair’s coming-out party on
opening day, April 30, and the city
will be all set to greet them.
Orange and blue, the New York
World’s Fair colors, will be on
display everywhere— from the
main stem, Broadway, to the show
windows of Fifty Avenue. Even
the “white wings,” that army of
workers that makes New York the
cleanest city in the world, will •<.
be attired in spotless uniforms of
natty blue with orange insignias.
It's going to be an orange and
blue party or endless round of
parties, w'ith orange and blue flags
waving everywhere and you—that
you that is coming to see the Fair
sporting an orange and blue but
ton on your lapel. It is rumored
that even some of the gal colored
fishes in New York’s acquariuni,
probably the greatest single at
traction for the out-of-town, visi
tors, will be decked out in these
colors.
New' York is teeming with ex
hibits, old and new, for the many
men, women and children who will
be seeing the city for the first
time and are hungry for excite- ^
tnent. The theatres and moving
pictures palaces along the Gay
White Way will put on their fin
est shows for the celebration, while
Rockefeller Center with its fam
ous Music Hall and other attrac
tions, will be one of the first sights
sought out by the celebratorg who
will own the town, East Side, V\ est
Side, from Greenwich Villiage to
the Bronx Zoo, this summer
