INDUSTRIES IN THE SOUTH Billions of dollars have been spent in the South during recent war years on new industries and Fighting services. As the south has gained, the north, east and middle west have lost. The explanation is simple. Sou thern congressmen control the purse strings of the nation and if money is to be spent, it must, in their opinion, be spent “where it will do the most good”. The rorth ,east and middle west voted for it and there it is. ****** THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS The controversy surrounding the closing of the schools waxed warm last week end. It was climaxed by the claim of Attorney G. H. Sieg that the Board of Education is more interested in protecting bondholders than in operating the SPEELMAN -FUEL AND SUPPLY CO.

Through modem GAS cookery, foods are made easily digestible, and the vitamins and min erals so important to good health are preserved. Adequate hot water, provided by automatic GAS water heaters, helps promote cleanliness, which is essential to soundness of body and freedom from disease. Efficient GAS refrigeration protects the food supply in hundreds of thousands of American homes, and safeguards against sickness from tainted or spoiled foods. Your Utilities District is proud to have the as signment for supplying this fuel, which is so important to the health, strength, and vitality of the nation. You can be assured that, come what may. GAS—The Modem Fuel—will con tinue to be "In the Front Line of Home Defense." Omaha Schools. He pointed out that sufficient revenue is avail able to pay a living wage to school teachers and other employees, if the board of education would use bond reserve funds now on hand and later d.efault on principal pay ments and refinance at .a .lower rate of interest. Everyone concedes that the school employees are underpaid. But, according to Mr. Sieg, the School Board wants to increase taxes so as to pay high interest rates to bondholders and not only fail to raise wages, but close the schools to boot. Are we cracking up under “war strain”? THE MAKING OF A SOLDIER How can a man be trained to be come a soldier? Of course, he must have a strong body and thor ough rigorous training he must be made tough of sinew. He must be taught as best he may be “the science of war". All this done for weeks and months and, maybe years, is he a soldier? Does he ever become a soldier until he has known battle experience through which he must be tested? Until he has met this test, no one can tell what the result may be. On the parade ground at the mil itary post, the man who drills the best, under fire in battle may be have with far less gallantry and effectiveness than the most abject failure of the “awkward squad”. Whether they are good or bad, men of every race and color and creed are being sent to their deaths to win the war, or win freedom for all men everywhere, or win dom ination over other races and peo ples and destroy liberty. Out of the welter of these con tending forces will come soldiers; millions of them, mass killers, to roam the earth and make it deso late. All this must be done in THE i ' OF A SOLDIER. JOHN L. LEWIS AND LABOR John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of America, founder of the Committee On In dustrial Organization, recently pro posed a reunion between the Am erican Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organiz ation. The plan was opposed by labor heads and politicos. Under the leadership of John L. Lewis, the CIO. organized the Steel Industry, the Automobile In dustry, the Packing Industry, and a large part of the Airplane Indus try. In the newly organized un ions in the industries mentioned wages and working conditions have been improved. And in the coal mining industry the wages and the conditions of workers have been bettered in every way. AND UNDER JOHN L. LEWIS THERE IS NO COLOR LINE. This fact may explain a recent outburst a^ gainst him. THE COLOR LINE In 1903 Dr. W. E. B. DuBois said “THE PROBLEF OF THE TWEN -TIETH CENTURY IS THE COL OR LINE”. A glance at the present map of the world will show you what a prophet he was. We are in the 42nd year of that century. Can we solve it in the 58 years which remain of that century. THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE In a military sense what is the first line of defense? is it the navy, army or air arm? The navy claims for itself the THOMAS FUNERAL HOME 2022 Lake St. WE. 2022 STRAICHTENS THE HAIR FOR 20 DATS OR MORI »Y SOFTENING THE STIFFNESS AT ANY DRUC STORE POPULAR FOR 27 YEARS KONGO CHEMICAL CO., he I 104 WEST 124th ST. p| NjjWYORK CITY g| FOR HUNGRY SOLDIERS Skilled Negro workers in Chic ago’s great meat packing plants show War Department officia’s JJhow meat that appears on the plates of a million and a half sold iers in Uncle Sam’s army is pre pared.

Backed by the billions of dollars invested in shipbuilding facilities and the prof its which accrue from that indus try, maritime power has been able to dominate all other military branches both in Britain and the United States. Twenty five years ago Generai William Mitchell insisted that wars of the future would be such as to require control of the skies, if success were hoped for. But the “big boys” got him, He was court-martialed and ousted from the army “because he saw more1 j clearly than his fellows". At the beginning of the second world Aar and even now, “the big navy" men insist that the navy is the first line of defense, in face of incon travertable evidence through the sinkings of the Bismarck, the Prince of Wales, The Repulse and the Arizona by torpedo planes: In spite of the experiences of all the conquered countries of Europe and Asia through air control by the conquerors, land army leaders min imize AIR POWER and the air arm of the services. Yet in al most every communique the allies bemoan their inadequacy of air power. Major Alexander P. DeSeversky, Russian born airplane designer, is crying out against the outmoded notion that navies and land armies are the first line of defense in war fare. He wants a unified air com mand and that command given the place which the present war has demonstrated ito should have. But when he clearly proves his case by citing the results of air power in, World War number 2, the “vested Interests” hold fast and the Allies) save only in Russia, where air power is very strong, continues to lose and retreat. We don’t know much about all this from experience, but we sur mise that if battleships cannoll keep afloat unless accompanied by fighter airplanes to protect them, planes must be a primary retire ment. If land armies cannot op erate, unless protected by airplan es, we must conclude that planes) are a first requirement. It follows therefore, that THE AIRPLANE IS THE FIRST LINE OF DE FENSE. We hope THE GRAND STRAT EGISTS will recognize the facts of the situation and plan accord ingly.

Lee Moffett seems to have seen a million people but only eyes for M, S, Could it be love at first sight. I see that P. M. N. is getting along pretty fair with D. J. but there is another hep cat trying to break them apart. Isn’t that a bout right D. J. I warn you M. B. you had better get wise to yourself or you might be displeased about a certain little matter sooner or later. Overheard! Lawrence Riley saying that he is a working man, but he’s quite a cat you know. Why did a certain girl call Chauncey Barnett out of the Blue Room Monday evening.

They have always told me that What you reap, you shall sow, and that is the way a certain girl will be doing soon. No initials, they ought to know who they are. Helen King still thinks that Johnny Harrison is tops....Need I say more. Mary Davis seams to be very interested in a certain cat. You two had better get together. Cowboy Stevens and Willetta Bryant just can’t seem to under stand each other. Aletha Norman seemed to toe( knocking boys gay, especially Ol iver H., G.

M. saw him on his hands and knees wiping the floor. We wish we had his picture so he can’t say he doesn’t work. Seems to us that the three girls who took part in the style show drew a lot of attention with their short skirts Saturday night. Say boys! How many of you boys are trying to make a hit with this little angle W. L. M. Be care ful you might get in trouble over her soon with some South Omaha cats..they seem to be interested in her from what I saw at the party. There was a fine party up to Mary Davis’ house given by the Froon Club. I wonder who all is in this froon club. I hear they are giving parties every month, everyone is talking about them but no one seems to know much about it. LEGAL NOTICE Certificate No. 4567 of Febr. 30, 1940.
