    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?

One bright spot is General McAr

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

Moscow was held and when he

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

“America’s job”, he added, "is

sities. Ultimate defeat of the en

one in Nebraska, as well as in ev

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

ance, the win ng team went on to

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

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

ARMY OKAYS INVENTION OP
NASHVILLE NEGRO
ENGINEER
Nashville, February 20 (by Wil
liam A. Reed, Jr., for ANP). .The
U. S. army accepted this week a
radiator bracket, the invention of
W. G. Madison, a local plumbing
engineer, for use in the Lone Star
Ordnance plant in Fort Worth,
Texas.
The bracket enabled the hang
ing of radiators at varying heights
on the walls of offices, shops and
assembly rooms and was patent
ed by Mr. Madison in 1931.
Mr. Madison’s invention is n
use throughout the south and west
in schools, federal buildings, busi
ness concerns and homes. The Of j
fice of Production Management a
warded Mr. Madison a contract to
furnish the brackets for the $2j.
000.000 ordnance plant in Texas.
The inventor, a Tuskegee grad
uate, is a member of the Iowa En
gineering society, the National
Technical society and the Kappa
Alpha Psi fraternity.
READ The GUIDE
C. H. 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.
