Twenty two persons putting in $50.00 each would give a capital of $1,100,' which would start a nice produce business, which farm could employ 5 rural on farm, one on transportation, 1 on management, 3 on produce and every customer a salesman and a booster- A store 2, an unknown spread for people will eat and must eat. Buy some land, build small homes complete and neat that can be had at reasonable sale on rent to those who desire. No great ship is built on the o cean but in a dry dock on a con crete foundation, which is support ed by the soil, so if we must rise above the head bowing servant type, we will have to make a dry dock upon which to build our ship for progress. Big servant titles, that have been parroted of others does not mean progress for the one making the organization or institution will ever control it. Why not stop riding on the sea of sympathy and get on the land of production and use your dollar to produce for yourself as you pay others to let you work for them or to turn you free after some surprise occurre. Pay yourself —your people and your God. To those published as employ ment committee: I ask what have you to offer as employment nnd what support do you give product ‘rs ? To those of Defense Training and Housing Committee: What land can you cultivate or place one on to defend— defense begins with a home—homes are not built on borrowed land. Tax sales mak es available lands. Seek homes first. To committee at large: —Both have said to me in person that ef ficiency and qualifications meant nothing in selecting ones to fill vacancies in positions and so long as these principles are held by these pennie grabbers, hopeless is it to prepare efficient people for positions coming up in the govern ment of this state or nation. Re cently one of this committee said in regard to a position in agricult ure department which had been efficiently filled by one of our group for 8 years and whom the State of Nebraska had accepted his qualifications in so much as t» give extension course to same for greater efficiency, which he made good —but this small, sized paper lugger and leech that preys upon the ignorance and sympathy of his group, forgets all this and asks dismissal of this employee —This is not gossip—this is straight from the shoulder. This same parasite has leeched many —so why follow anyone that can't defend himself. This in my opin ion is the reason for being a committee at large, so as not to fce held responsible for what happens. - SAYS EMPLOYMENT ARTICLES ARE WITHOUT FOUNDATION Under the heading of “Subject of Employment” which has appear ed in the current issues of this publication. After a careful- study of the articles, which to date are 2, I consider them without found ation and a menace to those of better judgement who can show something for their judgement. (1) Do not criticize anyone unless you can help them do better. (21 What has the writer to of fer that would be a tangible asset to those who have to labor? (3) Can the writer of this art JACKSON 0288 FIDELITY STORAGE & VAN CO. I Local and Long: Distance MOVING 1107 Howard, W. W.

At Willis Avenue iele show any achievement that he has done that has built a founda tion of an institution of self sup port for those he seeks to claim to elevate ? (4) Parasites always want larg er bodies to suck on. A winner never knocks and a knockers nev er wins- A winner is too busy to knock and a knocker is too busy to win. Be winners. (5) Ingratitude is one of the worst things one can practice, so to you who are employed bo ap i preciative and win higher piaces don’t “toady” for no one. (6) The writer of this article does not believe in his theories Proof a few years ago walked by a building owned by a member of his group, to sue a man of anoth er group for not wanting him there. Again there was an insti tution employing persons of his group from operator, stage, cash ier and all showing same product. He walks by this institution to be' denied admission to part he chose and then tried suit. (7) If this writer believed In merit system why not put it into practice by employing his group around his home and other places and pay high wages instead of chiseling. nis reports remind me oi an oki1 pulpiteer Jake Vz. once he lived in an old mill pond by a mill a group of frogs who used the old signal bug noise of the mill as a gui le as when they came up to the top after a night’s sleep. One morning as they started for the top they heard a boom and a splash so back to the bottom they went. After so long they came to gether to discuss plans of hav/ to find out what had happened, So they may go to get some fresh air or else they would all die. So a committee was selected to go to the top and with the frog lawyer as the group chairman, this group went slowly to the top. with th« chairman behind as they arrived at the top. Lastly he crept up and on to the dam and with a sud den plunge he was back in the wa ter. The other froggies follow ed then to the bottom they went. All the frogs came around to hear the news. Chairman made the report, we your committee went to the top ns ordered and beg leave to submit the following report: We saw a dam by a mill site. .But we did not see a mill by a dam site. What he said was true but he did not go far enough to see why the mill was not there or what happened. So one by one the frogs died until there was not a frog in the pond So I would say to you who are employed think deep and let no one who cannot feed himself, lead you. Your judgement has kept you on the job this long in my opinion, you best stay where your judgement says. MUSIC National Observance, May 4-H MUSIC—‘‘A divine blessing giv en to man to inspire him—to bring him peace in time of strife—to give him courage, hope and Jove Understood and enjoyed by every one, it leads men towards happin ess and mutual understanding.” MUSIC—‘the only art of heav en given to man,—the only art of earth we take to heaven.” So let us not be so absorbed in daily activities that we lose some of the best that life affords. Dur ing this week the entire nation is observing National Music Week. In songs, lectures, musical plays, and pictures, famous composers, and their works are being espec ially observed. Recently the Choirs of frleven churches were presented in their annual Goodwill Spring Musical at the City auditorium. Their di rector was the gifted Mrs. Mabel Avant, director of the Pilgrim Baptist Choir. The founder of this Annual Musical is Mr. L. L. McVay of St. John AME. Church. Omaha is indeed most proud of Mr. MlcVay’s splendid ideas for progress and achievement. It is interesting to note that two of the purposes of this Spring Musical is most appropriate for the obser vance of National Music Week. They are ‘‘to create a better ap preciation for higher class music” and “to encourage” individulas to make use of their musical talents.’ LOANS^r We I,oan Money on Suits, Shoes Typewriters, Radios, Rifles, Trunks, Diamonds, Wrist Watch es G<»od Jewelry, Musical In struments, Anything Valuable.

BILL’S LOAN BANK 1804 N. 24th St. Phone JA. 9375 Next year let us hope that the Annual Spring Musical will serve as the "prelude’’ to musical activ ities during the observance of Na tional Music Week in Omaha. Most fitting this year as an in troduction to this observance was the St- John A ME. choir program on Sunday evening. Outstanding on this musical program was the rendition by Mrs. Pearl Gibson, director of ‘‘Inflammatus’’ (l’os sini). It was bcatuifully sung; spiritually and dramatically. A mong the other numbers were ‘ A Closer Walks With Thee" by Mr. Wm. Kyles, Jr., “I’m Waiting For Jesus and He’s aiting for Me" by Mr. Napier and "I Do, Don’t You’ sung by the Quartette. The Public is anxiously look ing forward to the Annual recital of Mrs. Florentine Pinkston. For the convenience of music lovers and friends, Mrs. Pinkston wishes to announce that there will be three recitals this year; one will present advanced pupils, another will introduce intermediate pupil.? and the other will present primary pupils. These three groups will appear sometime in June. Another musical that will com mand our attention is the oper ettas and ballet sponsored by Mrs. F. Pinkston and Mrs. Marjorie Bolden are. The date will be an nounced later. The YWCA presented at Zion Baptist Church during National Music Week, the Operetta ‘‘Col lege Days” a comedy in three acts. Msss Ethel Jones was the musical director and Mr. Eugene Murray was the stage director. Assist ants were Mrs. May Gaston, Mrs. Lucy Mae Britt, Mrs. Elsie Por ter, Miss Asilee Dotson, Miss Dor othy Beck, Mr. James Pretty and M r-Arthur Reynolds and others. The YWCA is most grateful to Mr. Lewis who secured members of the Softball League who assist ed in the First scene of the play. Some of the men were: Mr. P. Al len, Mr. Herman Baring, Mr. Joa Brooks, Mr. John arvey, Mr. Percy Jenkins, Mr. Melvin Key. The proceeds from this musical comedy will be used to send dele gates to the YWCA. Sectional Conference which will be held at Camp Brewster June 9-25. To all W*ho assisted to make the Girl Reserve Musical Comedy a big success the YWCA is indeed most grateful. BISHOP NOAH W. WILLIAMS (by H. I). Wheeler) To those who were fortunate to hear Bishop Noah W. Williams Sunday at St. John AME. church, were given an opportunity to hear and see a man whose position am ong men of the world is the re sult of the very philosophy which he imparted to his audience. Said he, “Never do just what you are paid to do. Always do a little bit more”. Such a display of iniat ive not only broadens the individ ual but awakens him to realize de finite needs of service around him. It is one of God’s ways in unfolding laflent possibilities in one. Such a way may seem out of the way and unnecessary, but it always leads to higher heights. As an example of the type of leadership which Negroes are in need of, Bishop Williams cited Richard Allen, the father of the AME. church. Richard Allen had been a slave- He had saved up $2,000 in continental money, bought his freedom and started the AME. church. He was only 27 years old, but he followed that course of activity for which he felt he had been called. His ex periences were exceedingly trying. We need more ‘‘self-help” ex pressed among us. We need more “stick-to-it” in our endeav )rs. The ideal we must always have. It is our Light. It is expressed in the God Spirit which must per vade our entire lives. At unex pected and diverse places and tim es God reveals Himself to man as He did to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob Richard Allen and many other lea I ders Bishop Williams said that as far as set-backs are concerned, they are only steps towards our object ive. We NEED a definite exper ience in our lives to jar us until we come to our senses. Our youth continued the Bishop must prepare itself thoroughly, not only for white collar jobs but for Vocational and Technical jobs. There can be no pretense, no gett ing by. We must produce the goods. Youth must realize that the humblest labor in life is dign ified. In conclusion, Bishop Williams said that the whole organized force of the Church must te thrown open to young people Omaha welcomes Bishop Noah W. Williams and can only express appreciation of his most timely messages by saying, COME A GAIN FOR OUR YOUTH NEEDS YOUR WISDOM. This Week In Religion and Thought BY ROBT. L. MOODY MOTHERHOOD— The hearts of many mothers are aching in war-torn countries. Our present world problems reveal the honor and responsibilities of Mo therhood. On “Mother’s Doy’’ each year, we show much honor to our moth ers both living and dead. But we may do well to create an aware ness of the responsibility that ac companies this special honor- The young women of today and tomor row need inspiration from the pow erful influence of “ideal mothers” of today and yesterday We talk much about creating a better society through an educat ional process. It seems to be cer tain that this process must begin with our present and potential mo thers. The native equipment of each individual has a determining influence upon his character- The development of this influence be gins in the mother before concep tion. Of course, we admit thal the father is the other source tor equipment, but we may think of his part next month. We honor the good mothers of the past but we also plead with the present and potential mothers to realize their responsibility 10 the child and society. Genuine honor can be appreciated best when it is proceeded by wise and godly training of children.
