He holds noth ing against football because of his injury. Vernon's mother, Mrs. June Rob inson, has been a source of inspir ation to him. She is always near in her white uniform to help him. She holds his mail while he reads it- She greets his callers with a bright smile and talks to them of all of Vemie’s experiences. Her cheerfulness and dauntless spirit has helped him bear his load much easier. This brave fellow has many friends, all of whom are fighting for him and know that he Will cime out on top. Since his injury he has met lots of new friends. He receives mail and congratul atiry messages daily and this helps to brighten his day up. His mo ther said “If Vernie keps on gett ing letters, messages and pictures I’ll have to find another drawer to put them in. He has almost a dresser drawer filled now with best wishes.’’ Vernie, when he participated in sports, was one of the cleanest athletes ever to play. He was well liked by all his opponents be cause he fought, but fought fairly and manfully. In softball, he was a pitcher. He played whit the Robcats in the Junior League and was the best hurler in the loop. In Basketball he played with the Rockets. He was a smooth, tricky and sly forward. He was an All State wresling champion two years ago. Last year he played baskei Ibtim m iar am am am am am am am am l ball for Tech instead of wrestling. The apostle John wrote in St. John 16:33, “In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. Vernon is having tribulation and is of good cheer. Help him over come ‘ his world of injury” by buy ing a ticket to the dance to be held for his benefit Monday night at the Dreamland. Tickets are now on sale for 35c. They may al so be bought at he door. YOU’RE INVITED TO TOUR NEBRASKA THIS SUMMER Twenty million Americans are being invited to tour Nebraska this summer. A half page adver tisement in the March 17th issue of LIFE magazine sings Nebras ka's praises and offers the Ameri can mot&ring public a “Tour-O Graph” folder. Encouraging cross-country tour ists to use Nebraska’s “shortest, most level paved routes” for coast to coast trave,l this advertisement is published by the Nebraska Ad vertising Commission. The Com mission, in making a study of tour ist business, has found that motor ists visiting the state spend many dollars while they are here. They buy gasoline, oil ,tires and general maintenance service for their au tomobiles. They spend money with Nebraskans for hotel rooms, meals and entertainment. Learning that Nebraska has no sales tax, these visitors make purchases within the state from Nebraska institutions beyond the immediate needs occasioned by their trips. The LIFE advertisment tells tourists, “You are welcome in Ne braska!—The Latch-string is out! This state invites you to travel her splendid highways—where court esy resigns supreme— highways that were paid for as built- Plan to go via Nebraska.” Related to this LIFE Magazine advertising, and offered to LIFE readers, is the new Nebraska ‘Tour o-Graph’ folder containing ft map and descriptions of Nebraska’s beautiful state parks and improved . . .. , , . i , r 111 1P<I 1IU .!'■( SUNSHINE LUMP En CASH per ton THE ONE BEST LOW PRICED COAL !

Many Americans are expected to travel their own country this year because of restrictions in Europ ean travel and generally improved business conditions throughout the nation. Many millions of dol lars of extra income can be pre dicted for those states which at tract a good share of this increase travel, according to expert observ ers. “WE MUST DECIDE”— In a meeting of the NAACP. Sunday before last at Zion Baptist Church, J. Westbrook McPherson, Chairman of the Program Comm ittee, said: “We must decide whe ther Democracy in America is go ing to mean a superior, more e quitable way of living or the hoax we have known it to be in the past” Speaking of the Defense Pro ject coming to Omaha, he predict ed: “The increase in jobs will prob ably fall into three principal class ifications: First, those jobs creat ed in the Construction of the Plant and thirdly, those jobs which will arise out of the general pickup of commerce which one would normally expect to accom pany the stimulation of a 10 mil lin dollar project in the commun ity. In urging Negroes to prepare now for these jobs, Mr. McPherson said “Negroes should determine their status with unions which may control a large proportion of the jobs, seek admittance to the de fense training classes scheduled to begin soon, and that our skilled workmen and tradesmen should obtain licenses. “We must find out how it is that a Negro can be refused a lic ense because he hasn’t a job, refus ed a job because he doesn’t belong to a union, and refused admittance to a union because he is a member of a group which has been second to none i nthe preservation of a government which still gives work ing men a right to organize,’’ Mc Pherson declared.
