PROTECTION OF INTERESTS OF} ALL RACIAL MINORITIES IS ASSUMED SAYS MAJOR C. JOHNSON Full protection of the interests of all racial minorities in the cper_ ation of Selective Service is as sured, Major Campbell Johnson, ex ecutive assistant and advisor on Racial Relations, at National Head'iMarters, Selective Servide System, told more than 160 State Selective Service directors and oth er officials who met in Washing ton this week. The Negro represents ‘ not only the largest minority group but al so the one concerning which t.h^re is the greatest amount of interest in all sections of the country”, Major Johnson pointed out- He said: “The total defense which our Nation is planning deals with such factors in our national life as ed ucation, industry, armed defense, and probably a* important as any of these, notional morale. "National morale is a composite of the condition of morale of min ority groups. For that morale to be healthy each group must have a sense of belonging to the Nation ' on a self respecting basis without any of the badges of differentiat ion which would set it apart as en titled to less than the full rights and responsibilities of citizen ship.” Referring to the provision of the Selective Service Act which says “there shall be no discrimination against any person on account of race or color,” Major Johnson declared: “The desire of the Selective Ser vice System to operate with fair ness and impartiality is not due to this provision but independent of it. “Had such a precaution not been written into the Act, the Selective Service System would probably have been just as eager that it L «—-® “THE NEW HOME SPUN CAFE Now Furnishing "Wholesome” HOME COOKED MEALS —OPEN ALL NIGHT— Courteous Service 1810 North 24th St. (MEALS 15c AND UP) Edna Thomas Mgr. »-- -*-6 I|lll<nmiiiiimiiwwiiBinMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiii|i!iii.ini!iiiiiitiiiiihi:iiiiimniiii!iiaiiiin^|j THOMAS I FUNERAL | HOME [ 2022 Lake St. WE. 2022 itmHtmiutiiinttiiunmwiuiiitiuimiiiinutuuinimiiiiiimmmmiiiuicmummiuimim).

Recent information received at National Headquarters indicates that Negroes are playing an im portant part in the actual operat ion of the Selective Service Sys tem, Major Johnson said- He re ported that with 33 States heard from members of the race had act sd as registrars in 12.207 instanc es, that 80 of them are serving on local boards, that there- are 362 registrants Advisory Board mem bers 120 examing physicians, nine Government appeal agents, seven appeal board members, and one medical advisory board memijcr. This number will undoubtedly be greatly increased when the other states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey have re ported. Insofar as Selective Service trainees are concerned, Major Johnson said, there is no question that Narroos will be inducted :n fair ratio to their proportion of the Nation's population. As fac ilities, units and training cadres increase more and more Negro Selectees will enter the armed fore es, he predicted. In this connect, ion, he pointed out: “The number of selectees ex pected for November and Decem ber of this year included 3,913 Negroes or 13.7 percent of the total While only 3.3 percent of the January call will be for Ne-' groes because of lack of housing facilities and training cadres for authorized Negro units, in Febr uary, the percentage of Negroes requested in the call will increase to approximately 33 percent. “The percent of Negroes in tl-e calls over the four month period, November to February, will be about 12.2 percent. “Since it is estimated that the 1940 census will show that Negro es erpreaent approximately 10 per cent of our population a slight in crease over 1930 this showing for the first four months of call8 re mives any fear that Negroes will not be inducted into our democrat ic citizen army in their full pro portion to the total number reg istered." THERE IS STILL TIME TO HUY CHRISTMAS SEALS Christinas Seal8 are often hid den away, like the germs of tub erculosis, declared the Nebraska Tuberculosis Association in a re minder to persons Who have not yet purchased their 1940 Christ mus Seals. “There is still time to make an outstanding year in the annuals of the Seal campaign in Nebraska" haid association officials. “Ours is a state that has never failed to distinguish itself in such worthy causes. A successful Seal drive means that the Nebraska Tuber culosis Association can carry on its winning fight against this dis ease in 1941." Association officials described unpaid-for-Seals as “dead soldiers in the war against tuberculosis.” Each Seal was a soldier, alive and equipped( sent out to meet one of the worst enemies of mankind. If the Seals aren’t paid for—if they are allowed to remain in desk drawers or buried under papers at home—they are useless. Ninety-five percent of the Christmas Seal funds raised in Nebraska remains in the state to maintain the active health prog, ram of the Nebraska Tuberculos is Association. Five percent of the funds goes to the national as sociation for educational and re search work The drive is of great import ance to every man, woman and child in Nebraska. Every citizen in th estate should feel grateful for the work being done to eradic ate tuberculosis—a communicable disease that is preventable and cur able. No home is safe from tub erculosis until all homes are safe. The Nebraska Tuberculosis As sociation hopes to continue the fine work being done to eradiente the white plague from this state. Generous purchases of Christmas. Seals will make this possible. Buy and use Christmas Seals!!! DONOVAN Bros. AUTHORIZED DEALERS COAL.
