PAYROLL According to the Swift & Com pany 1939 year book the 1939 payroll paid to all employes amounted to $99,5000,000. Hourly rates were 39 per cent higher and average weekly earning were 12 per cent higher than they were in 1929. They report that during 1939, over 82 per cent of their hourly paid employes in meat packing plants enjoyed continuous employment. The outlook for in creased receipts of livestock means increased employment. PARALYSIS FUND Since Nebraska was seventh in per capita cases of infantile para lysis in 1937, Nebraskans should be aroused to the relentless war fare on this disease, declared Mabel Gillespie, Nebraska chairman of the committee to celebrate the President’s birthday. In the 43 week period ending October 28, 1939, the report shows 32 cases in the state. The disease was on the increase in 1939. There were 8,255 cases in the United States as against 1,514 for the same 43-week period in 1938, which was the lowest on record since 1915. This is appro ximately a four-fold increase in victims this year, according to the state chairman who will direct the President's birthday celebra tions in 93 Nebraska counties in January.

LOUIS, MO. ooDErnow's _ HAIR Cgf&ting OBSERVATIONS A QUICK RESPONSE—A few weeks ago in this column, we made a suggestion that the religious forces, as well as representatives of different races, should get to gether and work out a program to bring about a better under standing, more tolerance and even tual peace. This column is lest than three' months old, yet it appears in 69 race journals. Our white folfcs are evidently reading it too, for on the 23rd of December, the Met ropolitan press of the USA carried a story that the President of the United States, had called in Dr. George A. Butterick, president of the Federated Council of Churches and Rabbi Cyrus Adler, president of the Jewish Theological Semin ary of America to consult with him as spokesman for American Protestantism and American Jew ry in the “common cause” of all three faiths. At the same time, he named Myron C. Taylor, an episcopalian, as an envoy to Rome to join with a Jew in a parley with the Pope. All of this will lead to a better understanding and let us hope— peace. CHEMIST PRODUCES ANI MAL LIFE—A “synthetic”’ rabbit produced from a solution of com mon table salt was the achieve ment of a scientist and was exhi bited at the New York Academy of Medicine. Such an experiment that proves salt to be one of the basic elements in animal life will probably lead to a discovery that will give medical science, the in formation that will enable them to conquer all of our human ills, and thus preserve our health and bring more happiness and longe vity. AN HONEST OPINION-—The great Shrine’s East and West Charity football game, held in San Francisco, New Year’s Day, at tracted much attention and drew wide comment when the promoters failed to invite the great Kenny Washington, an All-American, to participate. Opinions were divided but the majority of those inter ested felt that the Shrine promo ters had discriminated on a basis of color. This view was held by Lt. Gov. Ellis Patterson, governor of the state of California. —— Slyter Ice and Coal Co. 2412 Lake St. AT. 2725 Omaha, Nebraska CREDIT TO ALL EMPLOYED PEOPLE ( NO FINANCE CHARGE! \ He went on record by saying so. Governor Olson, of the same state, dilly-dallied, talked in circles, dodged the issue which made his comment valueless. 103,000 people who gave Kenny Washington a standing ovation with ringing ap plause which lasted five minutes, are unanimous in their criticism of the shortsightedness displayed by the Shrine promoters, who proved their prejudice. NECESSITY, THE MOTHER OF INVENTION—There has been much written about the freezing treatment of cancer, but there has not been an adequate system pro vided to carry out the theory, yet an Oklahoma doctor, head of a small hospital, proved equal to the occasion when a cancer victim came under his care. He rigged up an apparatus sufficient to meet the need by employing an electric unit from a refrigerator and rub ber coils, placed around the in fected region. With this home made apparatus, he hope to ac complish a cure. UNCLE SAM PUZZLES JA PAN—The question of the “open door” in China and the abrogation of our Trade Treaty with Japan is putting our diplomatic corp on its medal in its attempt to bring the Japanese to their senses and have them realize that Uncle Sam wants only a Trade Treaty that will allow him to keep his pledge to all the world, especially, China, with whom this country also has a treaty. All of our dealings with all countries must be based on justice, fair dealings and our treaties must be honorable and im partial. It may be that the Japa nese imperialists can’t understand the principles of our western de mocracy. THE PROBLEM OF THE WORKER—With the newspapers filled, from time to time, with the statement of the large number of unemployed in this country, we naturally look around to see how many of our people are on WPA and the Reief roll, although we are not suffering, we are still far from being satisfied with our economic position in this country. Changing crop conditions in the section where most of us live and where 98 per cent of race are la borers, we can draw a sigh of re lief over the information just re leased by the Bureau of Immigra tion which tells us immigration here is lowest since 1840, for it means that with less immigrants coming into this country, there will be a greater possibility of re employment to our people. THE NEGRO AT ATHLETE—! There are times when my heart I swells with pride when I look back over the pages of sporting events of the past and read the statements that Joe Ganz, light weight champion, of his time spoken of as the “old master,” and George Dickson, as “little cho colate” and the praises rained up- j on Jack Johnson, world’s heavy weight; and the comments of the fair-minded sport writers who tell of the greatest champion of all times, Joe Louis. There is a cer tain psychology that prevails when the names of members of our rac > are mentioned as having arisen to the top in their profes sion, as it helps you and I to be lieve in our possibility and appre ciate the country in which we live which offers an opporunity for achievements that count and go a long ways toward dissipating pre judice ami discrimination. This is America, “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” I OUT-OF-TOWN VISITOR Mrs. Knitva Nelson of Ashdown, Ark., is visiting with her son Mr. James Nelson of 2630 Blondo St., after spending Christmas with two daughters in Kansas City, Kan sas.
