THE SOCIAL CENTER AT LINCOLN Under the leadership of Mr. Millard Woods secretary of the Urban League of Lincoln, Nebras ka, A Social Center is being erect ed which will be, when completed, one of the finest recreation cent ers west of Chicago. About two years ago, Mr. Woods! was sought to fill a vacancy in the Secretaryship of the Omaha Urban League, but was opposed by members of the Omaha Urban League Board. What is our loss is Lincoln s gain. We congratulate Mr. Woods and the people of Lincoln upon their fine accomplishment. “He plucked a thistle and plant ed a flower wherever a flower would grow.” “Courage is so highly prized be cause it is so rare”. Honesty is a good policy, but in dustry of the individual helps one on his way. SINGAPORE HAS FALLEN The great British bastion of the Far East has fallen to the Japan ese and sixty thousand British troops have laid do"Wn their arms. Over the great fortress which rep resented the Island Empire of Britain, now flies the flag of the Empire of Japan. Ever since the war began it has been thus with the British on ev ery front. Not once have ‘-hey stood and fought until death, save in Tobruk, Africa. When will the British begin to fight and die? Do they think they can win a war without fighting and dying? Russia has stood and fought.

The men with General McArthur arc fighting and dying, as gallant men ought to do, and their example is inspiring. But the British have thus far not seen fit to do this. And if they wait much longer it will be too late. Let us follow the example of Josef Stalin of Russia. He has thus far made one speech. He has given two commands: hold Mos cow at any cost, and “Attack”. Moscow was held and when he gave the order to attack the Ger mans began to retreat. Please take a leaf from Russia’s book. THE POLITICIANS ARE COMING The politicians are coming a gain: flocks of them. They will look around for the voters of ev ery race and color. Some of them will look for you and pat you cn the back, tell you how loyal jou are and how good they are. And many of them will forget you the day after they are elected. A few of them will not. The ones who have made false promises should be remembered by you and left at home. The only time you can repay false friends in politics is at elect ion time. At such a time you must make them know Once and for all that truth must prevail over falsehood. THREE GREAT AMERICANS February is the birth month of three great Americans, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas. Washington was the first fruit of our earlier civilization, and in truth became the “Father of His country”. In later years when it was torn as under by civil strife, Lincoln led the fight to save the nation which Washington had aided so greatly to establish. And Douglas, the Negr°, Orator and Statesman guided Lincoln in his action toward the liberation of the slaves, and afterwards, did more than all others to fix the civil status of the Negro in American life. There have been many great men to grace the American scene, but no other three of such heroic and majestic mould. THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION Reports are appearing in var ious parts of the country about employment and they are anything but encouraging- Employment is on the increase and the change from peacetime work to war work is being blamed for it. Whatever the cause, we hope that all persons who wish to work and who are able to work will be given work t° do and that; re gardless of the color of the work er. Unless the produce implements of war for ourselves and our all ies, planes, ships, tanks, guns and ammunition by the thousands and still more thousands, we will be left behind. Work is required for this effort and wirkers must he started on their way. The employment situation must be improved and at once. "You cannot hate the person you know”. Woodrow Wilson.

INDUSTRIAL NEBRASKA GIRDS FOR WAR TIMES Omaha, Nebraska, February 20, Industrial Nebraska, heeding the nation’s call for the shifting of factories from peacetime to war production, has begun to throw its weight behind the all out effort to build the machines, materials and munitions necessary for the ulti-. mate defeat of the Axis powers. This is evidenced by the forma tion last week of a large war pro duction "pool” in Omaha ,in which approximately 100 companies have thrown together their facilities art manpower in an effort to speed up the obtaining of war and navy contracts. It is further evidenced by the or ganization of other pools through out Nebraska, including firms at Lincoln, Beatrice, Hastings and Fairbury, as well as by individual plants which already have become a part of the “arsenal of democ racy”. It has been ispired by the rec ords of a number of Nebraska companies already in the convers ion program, including the Beat rice Steel Tank Manufacturmg Company which late last month was awarded the Navy’s "E” pen nant, symbolic of “outstanding per formance in the production of nav al ordnance material.” Art Walker, state director, said approximately 90 percent of the state’s manufacturers have made contact with the War Production Board’s contract distribution bran ch office here in interest of prod ucing war materials. Yet, explained Walker, industr ial Nebraska is just getting start ed. “There is a great deal still to be done before we get into full war production,” asserted Walker. “We cannot paint an optimistic picture at this time. “I feel certain, however, that the manufacturers here know that Hitler and the Japs are not wait ing for us to catch up with them. Time is not waiting. I know the Nebraska manufacturers are go ing to do everything possible to produce the weapons needed in the prosecution of the war. "They know that the lives of millions of Americans and the out come of the war itself depends up on the speed with which additional factories are shifted to war work” The United States and her all ies, it has been pointed out by au thorities, must-out produce the Axis powers, 2 1-2 to 1 ,in order to overtake the enemy and go on to decisive victory. Walker asserted that President Roosevelt’s "blueprint for victory” which calls for the production of 60,000 planes, 45,000 tanks, 20,000 anti-aircraft and 8,000,000 tons of - ---— HOTEL 0LG£ NEW YORK CITY 695 Lenox Avenue (Comer 145th Street) Select Family and Tourist Hotel Running Hot and Cold Water in Each Room All Rooms Outside Exposure —Service— Subway and Surface Cars a' Door; Rates Reasonable. ED. H. WILSON, Prop. Tel.

Ultimate defeat of the en emy depends upon this conversion program. It is the job for every one in Nebraska, as well as in ev ery part of the United States.” SOUTHERN AI RES COMING FOR CONCERT When the Southernaires come to this city March 27th at the City Auditorium local concert-goers will be prvilegede to hear a group that is ranked among the great est vocal ensembles heard today over the radio or on the concert! stage. As their name implies these col ored singers are true sons of the South, singing the melodies of their native soil with an artistry that has seldom been equalled. With nearly two thousand songs! in their repertoire their programs are full of variety. Their reper toire covers three centuries of Ne-t gro music—including African chants, spirituals, slave songs, popular Negro songs of contemp orary time- They are also able interpreters of other kinds of vocal music, presenting classics and ballads as effectively as they do songs of their own race. First winning widespread pop ularity through their broadcasts over the networks of the National Broadcasting Company, the Sou-t thernaires finally responded to ur gent demands that they make per sonal appearances on the concert stage. Here their success has mat ched that which they won on the radio. Their personnel includes Will iam Edmonson, basso, Homer Smith, Tenor, Jay Stone Toney, baritone, Lowell Peters, tenor and Spencer Odom, accompanist and arranger. TWO EX-CHAMP CAGE TEAMS TO SEEK TITLE FROM DEFENDING DETROIT EAGLES RENS EYED AS NO. 1 CONTENDER Chicago, Feb. 18 (ANP)—The present lineup for a Chicago Her ald-American annual world's chamr pionship basketball classic, sched uled from March 7 to 11 at the In ternational amphitheatre here sees two former championship teams, the New York Renaissance and the Harlem Globe Trotters ent ered against the Detroit Eagles, 1941 defendinf champions. The i sensational Rens won the title in 1939 only to have it wrested from them in 1940 by the Harlem Globe Trotters, who subsequently los- to the Eagles. Cage fans who saw the exhibit ion given by the Rens in the All Star basketball co-feature game last November are of the opinion that the team wall take the 1942 championship title. Their ability to do almost anything, except make the ball talk, will be called upon in this year’s tilt to take the title for the second time. Last year the Rens lost the championship meet t° the Detroit. Eagles in a one-pointer game. ln 9-10, thi / were eliminated by a similar slim margin by the Harl em Globe Trotters. In each inst ance, the win ng team went on to .via the crowoi.

Restless—We have four children and we are renting one room and kitchen. Of course I realize the war is on and must be satisfied but I have two places in mind to want to buy. One is a house with two rooms, the other is a spot of ground. Please help us by telling us whether to buy or not? I have some private questions too. Ans: The war being on is all the more reason to want a plot of ground to farm. Rent the proper ty if you don’t feel you can uuy and stay right where you are un til you see your way clear to go ahead with your plans. Your hus band has regular work and you two are able to save a little each month-you are right in deciding to accomplish something worth while, as well as wanting a perm anent home. Send a quarter for my new Astrology Reading if you desire a private reply. M. M. W.—I’m writing you con cerning a man I met eight yeara ago. We have been going toget her the whole eight years so on Dec. 5th he asked me to marry him so I accpeted and he goes and get the license and brings them and shows them to me and leaves to go home to come for me on the 6th so we could marry. I haven’t seen him since. Should I continue to wait on for him? Ans: The old boy took "cold feet” and backed out....he does not want to marry. There’s no need in the world of your sitting there at home waiting for his re turn-if he had intended to come back.... don’t you think he would have written a card or sent word of some kind? Get back into cir culation and find you another beau but don’t be fool enough to spend eight years courting another man. “Sonny” Boswell, Hillary Brown, and “Duke” Cumberland ,all for mer members of the Globe Trott ers. Boswell ,who had played in 125 games with the Trotters, was out standing in the first College All Star classic, when before 22,000 fans he dropped a basket from mid floor to tie the score with the Col legians at the final gun. He was also top scorer in the game with a display of keen-eyed shooting that stands out among the many brilliant memories of the two speet acular All-Star presentations. The rest of the Rens teams finds “Wee Willie” Smith, Clarence “Puggy” Bell, Zack Clayton, Son ny Woods, Charles Isles and Will iam “Pop” Gates. The remainder of the field will probably close before the end ol the week. Some 40 other appli cations from tarns who desire to participate have been made, and Selections of those to play will be made on basis of record and pers onnel.

B.—Should I try to make a home for my sister in the Spring I am undecided as to what to do. Ans: Just as soon as you arc financially able to help your sister ... .take her into your home. She is down and out, needs medical attention, and most of all she needs the companionship and love that you, her sister, can offer he”. You know darn well she would do the same for you if it ever became necessary. Worried—I’m in love with a man and have been 2 years. We have wanted to get married, but don’t have the money to get the neces sary things we would need, he is working and can’t save money. He says he is tired of waiting to get married. Please tell me what; to do? Ans: It’s mighty hard to marry when there isn’t any money to buy furniture, or to rent a furnished place-if he can’t save the mon ey to buy furniture or to rent a furnished place.... if he can’t save the money to begin house keeping on right now while he is single, how in the world does he think it can be done after you two are married. Both of you talk this thing over again. Plan to set aside a part (one fourth if pos sible) of your salary each week and put it in the bank for this purpose. Do this for two months and see if you can’t save enough to start housekeeping. If it can’t be done. .. .then you had better stay single. R. T. C.—My job is getting on my nerves here of late and I must work but I feel that I cannot con tinue on here any longer. Should I give it up and go south as I plan ned? Ans: Feeling the way you do. it may be the best idea to give your notice and make a change. I too think you will be able to get good employment in the south aud it will be mighty pleasant for you since you dislike the cold so much. Go on down to Florida where your friends have gone for the winter. D. M. W.—I love a man 35 and a boy 18. They are cousins. The older one wants to marry me but I’m afraid my famliy thinks I’m too young What shall I do? Ans: Stay single young lady as you are entirely too young to marry. Furthermore you are not In love with either of the fellows you are going with at the present. The older man is sincere but you don’t love him... .the younger boy likes you but neither of you are in love. Wait at least three years before you get married.
