TUSKEGEE FIELD REPRES
ENTATIVES OF THE SERVICE
TRAINING DEPARTMENT IN
OMAHA
Mr. Ernest E. 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troops have been withdrawn to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

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. No doubt you remember we had
a disastrous fire on December 23, 1939
which destroyed our building inside
and put our machinery out of working
order. We have remodelled our build
ing and have put our machinery back
in good condition^ On May 31, 1941
we began serving you again with an 8
page paper, full of local and national
up to the minute news, properly edited.
We most certainly want to thank
you for your kind consideration, given
us during our remodeling period. We
are indeed thankful to you for your
patience. We do hereby now extend to
you an invitation to stop by and see
our new $60,000 newspaper plant. It
is without a doubt the showplace of 0
maha. When you have visitors in our
city, we will be glad for you to bring
them in4 and show them through our
plant. I am sure that they will leave
Omaha with an expression of apprec
iation to you. We are indeed anxious
to give you the kind of service you
want a newspaper to give. Therefore,
we ask you to fill out the printed
coupon herein at the end of this letter.
We will be thankful to you indeed if
you will fill out the same and deposit
it in the mail. Remember, we want to
give you the kind of a paper you want.
Unless we know the service you want,
we cannot do this. So, please do us
this small favor by filling out the print
ed coupon herein, and mailing same,
and thanks a million.
In a few days a representative of
our firm will call on you for a friendly
chat and for some local news. We will
appreciate it very much if you will
give them a few moments of your val
uable time.
Maybe you would like to write
us a letter and tell us more about the
service you want your paper to give
this community—more than you can
get on the coupon. If so, please feel
free to do so and we will appreciate the
same. If you would like for someone
to call on you to go over this matter
with you, please give us a ring WE.
1517.
We are now entering into our 15th
year Scholarship Campaign for 6,000
new and renewed subscribers in this
area. May we be favored by your fill
ing out the printed Subscription cou
pon and sending it to us by return
mail. Let us get together on the past
at some future date. Let us start to
day on the new subscription account.
The following few lines are some
thing for you to give your serious con
sideration. Your community newspa
per is the oi^ly medium you have to call
on when an error has been made or
when you have been mistreated civical
ly, economically, or criminally. No
group of people or organization can
correct these community evils as your
community newspaper can. So, my
friend, let us start today on the new
subscription account, so you will be
informed of the various activities of
your community up-to-date. Remem
her our representative will be perfect
ly agreeable when he calls in adjust
ing our past relationship.
Again we wish to thank you for
your loyal support in the efforts we
are now putting forth for the benefit
of the community as a whole and in
dividually. Do you want new avenues
of employment openled up to your
family? We have the medium which
you should be willing to support to do
the job. Do you want justice in the
law department of your city, county,
and state governments? Again, we
say, we have the medium by which to
get justice. Do you want your civic
organizations to function properly in
the interest of the whole and not for
the individual? If you do we have the
medium to help get it through.
Did you know you are entitled to
$367,000 in new jobs in the city, county
and state and from the various politic
al positions that you are taxed to pay,
and from the corporatoins which, bj
right of their franchise, receive youi
enforced support. We know how to
promote an educational program to
bring about the desired results to you
and yours to get your share of this
$367,000 that is now going into the poc
kets of other groups, and which right
fully belong to you.
All we need is your loyal support
as a subscriber, and your moral sup
port in heping us to educate the rest
of the above mentioned concerns—
What you are entitled to and what you
expect to do about it.

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.
