Signs of Summer
When you see the Cats walk
down the avenue with those peg
pants and 34 inch drapped coats
and wide brim hats; When women
parade down the streets in house
coats, shorts and slacks; When
you see the boulevards, parks and
streets jammed With old broken
dcwn cars; and when you sea dumb
students lugging books home from
school; it’s then, my friends, you
will know that summer is near.

H. F_I am so bad off and need
help. My brother’s mind went
bad and we don’t know what to do
and we wonder if it is natural and
we wanted so much to have a hap
py home.
Ans: There’s no way for me to
determine the cause, but I assure
you that if you put your brother
under the competent care of a good
doctor and try to get him in the
State Institution for the Insane,
every possible thing wil be done
to help bring him back to normal.
When the doctors have had a

REMEMBER THE HANDICAP
BED IN OUR MIDST—
As a result of our nation-wide
program of Defense there is grave
danger of many of our weaker
citizens being forgotten or push
ed aside because they are not able
to fit into the program. The hand
icapped people of our city must be
taken care of. There is a con
structive plan for doing this in
operation in the Goodwill Indus
tries of Omaha. Handicapped peo
pie are given employment and
paid wages out of the income of
articles which they repair or re
condition- At this time of the
year when you are finding articles
such as shoes, furniture, clothing,
paper, magazines, pieces of metal
and other articles which seem use
less to you, remember that if these
are turned over to Goodwill In
dustries they will make Opport
unity Wages for some needy per
son.
Why not get together a large a
mount of such materials and call
the Goodwill today. The number
is At. 4609. In sending your art
icles to the Goodwill Industries
you will be helping handicapped
people to earn self-respective wag
es rather than to go without the
necessities of life or to have to
ask for charity ”
MISS RUBY GENE BEAVER
IN OMAHA SATURDAY
Miss Ruby Gene Beaver of In
dianapolis, president of Tau Fhi
Lambda, national sorority affiliat
ed with Supreme Forest Woodmen
Circle, arrive in Omaha Saturday
to confer with Mrs. Dora Alexand
er Talley, president, president of
Woodmen Circle, on plans for the
sorority’s national convention in
Omaha in June.
Miss Beaver was elected first
national president of the sorority
when it was organized at the time
of Woodmen Circle’s 1937 Nation
al Institute in Omaha. It now has
90 chapters and a membership of
1,600 and attendance at the Om
aha convention in June is expected
from nearly every state in the Uni
ted States.
The sorority’s convention will
foim an important part of Wood
men Circle’s second National Ins
titute, to be held June 22 to 26.
and which is expected to bring
2,500 women to Omaha
there for us together?
Ans: Both you and your husb
and realize the direct cause for
your unhappiness and you must
make a change if you expect to
live together. It won’t be neces
sary for you to hurt his mother’s
feelings if you get out and find a
place of your own. Talk it over
with her and let her know that
you prefer living alone and she
will be welcome to vist with you,
although you do not want to live
with her all the time. She will
see your side of the situation clear
ly
******
W. M.—Tell me how come the
boy that goes with my daughter
tells her one thing and do anoth
er. Have he love for her like he
claims ?
Ans: Not as much as he claims
—if he did, he wouldn’t forever
disappoint her and make her un
happy. I honestly believe there
is another girl in his life and your
daughter should not take him too
seriously. Tell her to get her an
other beau to
*****
G. N.—I have been offered a
trip and wish to know if I should
go and would it hold anything in
the future for me?
Ans: If you make the trip -
you would be expected to stay
permanently. I am sure that you
will be able to find something
right there in your home town
that would appeal to you mora
than the trip that has been offer
ed you. There is more behind the
trip than has been exposed.
T. B. M-—You are my unseen
friend and 1 am writing for help.
Do he love me. and do I lovediim
and do we love each other ?
Ans: There’s love in the air al
right and you two seem to be!
wrapped up in one another. The
month of June is going to be too
much for you two love birds--in
dications are that you may decide
to get married.
A. H- K.—I have been working
at this service station for 3 years
and the man hasn’t ever been able
to pay me my whole salary. Now
I have a wife and two babies and I
need every penny that I earn- Tell
me if I should quit this job?
Ans: Indeed you must. Make
the rounds at various filing stat
ions in your city and try to get a
job before quitting the one you
have. If you are able to find
something, tell the man you are
working for that you must quit
and the reason for quitting. It
seems to me that you would have
no trouble whatever finidng a job
as you are experienced in your
line.
*****
M. P. D.—Tell me if I should go
ahead and marry this man and
would he be true to me ? I want a
home very bad and I want to be
happy when I do get married.
Ans: Do not marry this fellow
right now. He has had an affair
with another woman the whole
time you two have been going to
gether and he wouldn’t live true
to you after marriage if he doesn’t
now. I suggest that you look a
round for another companion—one
at least who doesn’t have to share
his time with other girls.

COMMUNITY CENTER AND
PLAYGROUNDS—A GROWING
NEED—
Race Men and Women Must
Invest In Essential Projects
For Betterment of Youth
It is past time for race men
and women of Omaha to realize
that we are not going to feel the
whole-hearted respect from whit?
neighbors until we own more hom
es, businesses and have a suffic
ient number of Community cent
ers to keep youth from the streets
and to offer more of a special
training to young mothers and
older adults. We need to sacrif
ice something from our personal
pleasures in order to build much
needed structures for Community
purposes. The Urban League and
future Centers are just as vital
for race development as the
Church and school.
Many interests that were offer
ed in homes years ago are no long
er present. The new and old in
terests are found in taverns of
all descriptions, night clubs, thea
tres, improvised street play
grounds, summer camps, and in
the world of sports for girls and
boys. Not even the radio can
keep youth home. The new free
dom and equality of girls and boys
—the new outside interests for a
dults, and the economic setup have
produced many new problems to
day.
Most of the problems can be ad
justed through the establishment
of several— not just one, Comm
unity Centers. Negro boys and
girls need wholesome play. They
need playgrounds supervised by
competent advisers.
Race men and women can own
their own centers, if they can see
now that a few dollars pooled to
gether, will establish memorials
to youths andad ults of the fucure.
Let us build something worth
while. Something of which we as
Omaha Negroes will be proud. We
can do it. Let us begin now with
the purchase of the Urban League
building.
READERS,—ARE YOU AWARE
IOF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO
MANY NEGRO YOUTHS?

from the lips of young women de
void of all respect for themseives.
