PRESIDENT OF OMAHA U. ADDRESSES
URBAN LGE ANNUAL MEETING
Mr. Howland Haynes, President
cf the Municipal University of 0
maha, addressed about 160 persons
at the 13th Annual Meeting of the
Omaha Urban League Community
Center on Tuesday, February 11.
His analogy of American democ
racy was drawn from “Pilgrim’s
Progress" and other bookg of sim
ilar philofophy. He made the
statement that there was a gr<’at
n ed for racial understanding be
tween the white and colored pro
pie ond that this could only be ob
tained by closer relationship be
tween the two groups by the shar
ing of intellectual interest. A
meeting of this type, he said, was
one way of approaching better
community unity through the shar
ing and using of ideas about the
nation of which we are all citizens
He closed his talk with the
statement that he had had exper
ience with Urban League work <n
Cleveland, Ohio that that he had
com' to look upon it as one of the
outstanding agencies in the field

of disseminating this type of phil
osophy—that is, of building up
wholesome racial relation attitudes
and, at the same time, working to
eliminate the negative conditions
und* r which Negroes live and hav'c
to face in America. He stated
that thift democracy may not be
perfect because of its short-com
ings in relation to the treatment
of minority groups but that it
was much better than the totalit
arian slates that exist elsewhere in
the world.
Preceding Mr. Haynes’ talk, the
Muse Drama Guild presented a
skit entitled “Urban League in the
News—1940’’ which very clearly
portrayed the work done in th« a
gency.
During the business portion of
the meeting, the following persons,
were re-elected to the Board of
Directors for the year 1941: Say
foert C. Hanger, Mrs. C. K. Ross,
and Harry E> Dickinson. New
members were Charles Stewart,
civic leader of South Omaha and
Rev. W. H Phelps, Pastor of the
Ijowe Avenue Presbyterian Church
and algo President of the Omaha
Ministerial Union.
A handicraft exhibit was dis
played in the library. Comments

SUMMARY OF NORTHWEST
ERN BELL ANNUAL REPORT
Much attention has been given to
the views of telephone users in ef
forts to make telephone service
more pleasing, according to the
annual report for the year l'.»40
of the Northwestern Bell Tele
phone company and its subsidiaries
The Tri-State Telephone and Tele
graph Company and the Dakota
Central Telephone Company. The
three companies operate in 'he
states of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebras
ka, South Dakota and North Dak
ota.
Pointing out that the telephone
business is made up of many trans
actions between each user of the
service and the company( the re
port fitates that it Is the constant
aim of the companies “to person
alize these transactions and to
make each of them definitely pleas
ing to the customer,” and that sur J
veys to ascertaln*the views of cus
tomers about the service and the
manner in which it is provided
were made during the year.
At the end of the year, the three
companies, taken as a unit, had
more telephones in service than
ever before but the number of long
distance calls handled during the
year was 9-7 percent less than for
1930, the year of maximum long
distance usage. There has been a
reduction in revenues per tele
| phone and an increase in invest
ment per telephone, as compared
with 1930.
Taxefi took about one-seventh of
total revnues in 1940 and amount
ed to more than dividends paid
For the three companies, taxes as
signable to operations amounted to
$6,038,000, which was equivalent
to $6 91 per telephone.
Regarding the three companies as
an operating unit, composite net
telephone earning to average in
vestment in telephone plant for
the yean were 4.45 percent. The.
Northwestern Company paid div
idends of $6 per share on its stock
in 1940. The Tri-State and Dako
ta Central companies paid no div
dends.
The number of employees at the
>nd of the year was 12,037 of
whom 7,370 or more than 61 per
cent, were women. The average
length of service was about 18
years for men and 10 years for
women employees.

Calling AH Christians
—World Day of Prayer!
The treacherous flame of war
seems to be spreading more and
more. Neutral nations and peace
loving men and women are being
swept into its path. It is very fit
ting and helpful to be called into
‘he greatest human fellowship.
February 28 is designated as the
World Day of Prayer* and all
Christians everywhere are asked
to join their brethern. In the
words of St. Paul: ‘Let us there
fore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of
need ” Heb. 4:16.
Critics and alleged infidelg must
admit that there is a strong and
unseen power that surpasses our
comprehension- Our Lord has ad
monished tig that ‘‘men ought al
ways to pray and not to faint”.
The implication is that if we pray
earnestly, constantly and humbly
we will not taint. If it were not
for the elect (those constant pray
ing souls4 our plight would be
much worse.
It is apparent that war monger*
are not considering God. It is the
luty of those who know the woith
of prayer to intercede for our na

tion and leaders as Abraham stood
before God for Lot. “The effect
ual fervent prayer of a righteous
man avaiieth much.” Jos. 5:16;
but if we regard iniquity in our
hear|ts the Lord will not hear us.
If you can meet at the Clair Chap
el Church at 10:30 a. m. but if not
join in the Spirit wherever you
are.
