Well the Count Basie swing wa;<
a great sucess on last Monday ev
ening. The Californians knocked
themselves out while the South
Dakotains swayed to the enchant
ing Rhapsodies. Jo Jo the drum
mer subdued the crowd—It seem
ed as though all the ladies faced
the ticket saleslady alone—but the
exit was a jolly one—what with
all the cats and chicks leaving to
gether. Some of the Cats got
their women mixed up—One cer
tain had three of his three—and he
wasn’t with any of them. Do you
know who you are? M. F. J.—A
certain Albright playboy, who
thinks he is a killer with women,
kocked himself out with two of
them. I wonder why one of them
was so angry—Could it have been
because the other one was the best
— ? Well I think everyone had a
good time.—And went home feel

Dear Cats, Chicks and Jitter
bugs, DON’T FORGET to attend
the benefit dance for Vernon
Brown—to be given Monday night
at the Dreamland hall. Until this
time next week, GIRLS ON THE
STREETS SIGNING OFF. WE
WILL BE SEEIN’ YOU.
BENEFIT DANCE FOR
VERNON
(Continued from page 1)
Vernon, for he is always talking
about the future. 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

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.

“ST. JOHN’S CHOIR”
(by Mrytle M .Goodlow)
Praises to the living we are giving
And this is the tribute we pay
To Mrs. Pearl Gibson and Mrs.
Maude Ray
For their work, well done
And achievements they have won,
In the world of music.
St. John's Choir and church
Should be proud of their work
For St. John’s choir is a musical
treat
In rhythm and harmony sweet
1 And as the choir sings
Praises to the King of Kings,
You cannot help but feel
The Savior’s power to save and
heal.
So this is the tribute we pay
To Mrs. Pearl Gibson and Mrs.
Maude Ray, *
May you both live long
To lift your voice in song
Singing the praises of Zion,
Till your work on earth is done
And the blessed Master calls you
home,
To sing praises forever around
His throne!
