Bridges and Mr. James W Turner, members of the Service Training Department of Tuskegee Institute, of Tuskegee, Alabama, arrived in Omaha on June 4th, and expect to spend a bout three weeks in the city in the interest of the Service Course of that, school. While in the city they are lecturing at the various institutions in the city which em ploy Negroes as porters, cooks, waiters, maids, etc. The course was first suggested by the Southern Hotel Asociation because of the difficulty in secur ing capable colored workers, and has been offered since 1936. Dur ing the past four years Mr. Bridg es has visited approximately 5, 000 institutions where Negroes are employed in the service work, in conjunction with the regular course winch is offered at ’he school. While on their tour of the country, Mr. Bridges and his assistant Mr. Turner, have been distributing copies of the Service Journal, which is published at their school- Their mission is an attempt to elevate the service field, and to get workers in this field to realize that such a prof ession is not a disgrace. The two travel in a trailer which is one of the three sent out iby the school. In all there are ten representatives for the Service Training Course. The trailer is located in the rear of Johnson’s Drug store at 2306 North 24th Street. ONCE AGAIN COLORED FIGHTERS COVER RETREAT OF WHITE BRITISH FORCES (Cairo, Egypt, NNS—Special to Negro News Syndicate)—The of ficial statement of the British War Office in regards to the rec ent debacle in Crete, runs tersely ' to the effect that: ‘‘After twelve days of what was undoubtedly the fiercest fighting in this war, it was decided to withdraw our forc es from Crete- Some 15,000 troops have been withdrawn to Egypt, but it must be admitted that our losses have been severe.” What this bleak announcement fails to include, however, is the all-important fact that in the main it was only because of the intense bravex-y and courage of colored troops, mostly Maoris from New Zealand, fighting for the British Empire that enabled 15,000 troops (mostly white) to escape. This was a repetition of the British reti-eat fi*om Gxecce, where also it was the colored fighters who held off the Nazis parachute troops wrhile the white soldiers were being evacuted Eyewitness accounts of the last days of fierce fighting in Crete are filled with ghostly details. German planes dropped parachute ti*oops by the thousands—men whose hands and faces were stained the same green as their uniforms. Against <th|s rain of Green Hornets the morale of the wjhite troops were shattered. In efficiency by the commanding of ficers and inodequate advance pi’eparation for t he long-expect ed Nazi invasion only aided to the disastrous confusion. In this dix-e hour of grisly hor ror it was the Maori warriors who proved themselves the better fight ers. As the green clad Nazi troops dropped like hail from the skies, the Maori ran to meet them brandishing bayonets and knives A captured German prisoner later told this reporter: “If England had had a major army made up of those brown boys, Hitler would long since have lost this war.” To date, that is almost the only praise heard for these stalwart fighters, who sacrificed their liv es. Thei'e has been no official word from the British War office praising them. It may well be that the British command is reluctant to call at tention to the one-time size of their colored contingent, for too ov.Vi-VVVV^AVrt'i'VWW DUFFY Pharmacy 24th AND LAKE STREETS PRESCRIPTIONS —Free Delivery_ WE. 0609 VAVJWWA’AWWAWiV to Our Expected Subscribers My Dear Reader of The Omaha Guide: We are happy to anounce to you that we, the Omaha Guide are ready to give you a full newspaper service a gain.

FAITH FOR TOMORROW (by RUTH TAYLOR) In this day of crisis when pess imism hangs like a murky pall ov er so much of our daily life and conversation—It behooves us to stop and consider—not the tribul ations of the moment, but the long range view of eternity. Is this overwhelming thing that is happening to us a calamity which is ours alone to face—or are we going through one of the great cycles of history through which countless others before us have passed? Whatever, it is, we should in time of trouble get back to first things and contemplate the etern al goodness. In Whitier’s poein on this subject he states his faith thus: “Yet, in the maddening maze of things, And tossed by storm and flood To one fixed trust my spirit clings, I know that God is good. I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise Assured alone, that life or death His mercy underlies.” If we hold fast to this we can say with the Psalmist David — “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy s+aff they comfort me-” Once we can arrive at this state of trust, then we are able to face all problems with the proper courage and per spective. And above all, we can go about our daily life, and carry on our daily tasks as we should—with high morale and even with a mod icum of happiness. We have much for which to be thankful. The rest of the world has been at war for nearly two long years. We have had peace at home. We have free speech, a free press, un censored discussion, and all the rights guaranteed under the Con stitution. We have a chance to live and work and learn according to our talents. Yes, we must face the grave conditions confronting us. But we must not darken our lives by constant harping on our troubles —we must face them and continue! to live as normal people, grateful for our blessings; enjoying all the good; things of life that are still ours doing our daily tasks to the best of our ability; working to help others in every way we can; trying to make the people we live or work with happier for our presence—and, having seen the progress that has been made in the past decades, with faith for tomorrow because we put our trust in the Eternal Goodness for the final outcome.
