Goodlow We are proud to be, Members of the race Abraham Lincoln freed from slavery We have never betrayed the trust He placed in us And when he set us free Laid the foundation For America to become a powerful nation And the true leader of dem ocracy. Today the spirit of Lincoln is Because the race he freed grieved, Has to beg and plead For equal rights to fight For the Stars and Stripes To help preserve the freedom he gave his life for— And the principles he stood for Grieved—because our country The Land of our birth, Refuses to accept us at God’s true worth. And refuses to hear our plea For justice and liberty. And yet other nation’s now would free— In the name of liberty. America and Britain are in ti'e same shoes, Inasmuch as both refuse To grant the darker races An equal chance— Has hindered their own ad vance— America... .tbe Negro And Britain her darker colonies And the facts they now must face, China one of our allies, Belongs to the yellow race And the darker races will b< drawn in The world wide struggle to lose or win— As we face, the Axis And the Rising Sun. It’s up to America and Britain. { Whether the war is lost or won. ----- — READ The GUIDE WAITERS’ COLUMN (BY H. W. SMITH) We had the pleasure of talking with Mr. George Thomas one of the streamlined room service med of the Fontenelle hotel and it was a very fine fellowship for a few moments, as he informed us that Mr. Hill and Mr. Earl Copeland were taking good care of the room service in an up and go move ment at all times and when we got the information that Mr. Reed was headwaiter in the Black-Gold room it was real good news and Mr. Underwood and his crew were on the job right up to the minute. We Hope tjie boys will keep the good work up. We were in one of the Northside Spots on February 15th and it was a pleasure to meet Mr. Earl Jones and we truly hope he will not have another attack of illness. We also met Mr. Frank Buford at church Sunday morning, and we are quite sure the headwaiter Mr. Blackwell of the Omaha club hopes the boys will all keep well and ac tive. The Railroad boys arc improv- | ing at all times and Mr. Rodney Williams, Mr. Luther Johnson, Mr. Felix McToyer, Mr. Linwood Hall Mr. Philips are the rapid fire beys and oh say, we have a Flash.. . . Mr. James McCallister Sr., walked down the beautiful white way and answered to the lovely “I Will”, on February 14th and we all hope and wish for him and the bride much joy, happiness, long life and all the good pleasures that this wide world affords. The Omaha Guide has all the latest war news and also all cur rent events of the race and we should all help them aS» it is the outstanding paper of our city now why not take out one year’s subscription as the uplifting fea tures of the race is what we like to read about. Brother John Evans is very much out in front at the Rome ho tel and knows what to do at ah times. The Musician headwaiter and the very fine crew of waiters and cooks at the Chamber of Comm erce are on the map in a very large way. The White horse inn with the quick stepping crew Mr. Branch, Mr. Louis White and Mr. Dave Russ are tops at all times. FLASH! On Sunday March 15th will be Men’s Day at Clair Chanel Methodist Church 22nd and Miami St. A very interesting program for both morning and afternoon. Now let’s all remember and keep the date in mind and tell all of our friends to favor us by attending, Brother Bennett the wide awake president, hopes to make the day a grand success. The Race horse headwaiter Mr Corbert at the Paxton with Capt. Booth and the crew of waiters are tops at all times ,as they are in the front ranks daily. Join the 4C club and take out some shares in the Credit Union. The program sponsored by the Brotherhood club of Clair Chapel on Sunday February 15 was a complete success. Dr. A. L. Haw kins, Dr. Wesley Jones, Mr. R. R. Brown and Mr. Arthur McCaw, Mr, McPherson, Mr, Dacus, Mr. Moore, Mr. Holiday and Mr. W. A. Davis, all produced good food for our thoughts. HOUSEWIVES URGED TO CARE FOR APPLIANCES Omaha homemakers are urged by Metropolitan District officials to take good care of their gas appliances War time scarcity of steel and other metals makes it important that present appliances be kept in service for a longer per iod than normally. The Servel gas refrigerator is extremely long lasting, due to fact that it has no moving parts, and with reasonable care even mi nor repairs are hardly ever need ed. Follow manufacturer’s instruc tions in caring for this appliance. Automatic gas water heaters, properly adjusted, will last for years without attention. It is a good practice to drain off a bucket cr so of hot water directly from the valve on the lower part of the tank about once every two weeks. This flushes out sediment from th bottom of the tank, keeps the hot water clear, and prevents excess ive tank corrosion. With ordinary care a Gas Range will give many years of faithful efficient cooking service. Here are a few simple suggestions that will add extra years to the usefu' life of your gas range: 1. CARE OF BURNERS—Re move and clean top burners once a. week. Brush or wipe off accuir 1 ulaUd dirt. If absolutely jieces sary, scrub burners with hot "^ar suds. BUT BE SURE TO HOI.D PORTHOLES DOWN SO NO WA TI'.R OR SOAP GETS ON IN SIDE OF BURNER DRY iHOROUGHLY BEFORE RE PLACING IN RANGE If port holes are clogged .open with a piece of wire or a st. '.I' nail. 2. GENERAL CLEANING - Clean your range freq ic it'y This inc udes clean oui pa..- oven and brc ’er (if 1 se’ *, and pircelain. * • *! a clear, .lamp, warn U^th to t:< k n porcelain. Do ot use rlea" 1 ing powder on white porcelain Do not set hot nook'oif vessels on por celain cooking top. 3. CARE OF OVEN—Leave oven door open for 3 minutes after oven is used_prevents rusting of oven lining and racks. 4. BURNER . ADJUSTMENTS —Do not attempt to adjust burn ers, valves or oven control. If adjustment is needed, gas odors are noticed, or pilot light goes out —CALL METROPOLITAN UTIL ITIES DISTRICT SERVICE DE PARTMENT, ATLANTIC 5760. i DETROIT HOUSING FIGHT FLARES UP AGAIN; ' (Continued from page i) PWA. Immediately upon calling the meeting to order, Mr. Snyder in a very terse statement, for which he later apologized because he under stood that the delegates had felt he was being rude and discourt eous, declared that the houses un der discussion would remain vac ant until the controversy concern ing them subsided. Upon making his statement, which included other remarks con cerning ‘pressure groups’ to whicK he would not yield, Mr. Snyder a- j bruptly left the meeting. This acted as a match to th? torch, for the meeting almost got •ut of control. Rev. Horace White brought about some semblance of order and asked the delegates to hold their tempers. Shortly afterward Snyder return -ed, it is said at the instance of Senator Prentiss Brown of Michi gan, who insisted that the delegat es be treated with common decen cy and courtesy. Snyder then took his position on the platform and offered a weak apology, but remained adamant in his decision that neither white nor colored should occupy the houses. This, he said, was in disagreement with the opinion of Coordinator Palmer, who in his turn said that Adaptable Laxative is Popular! Laxatives, like people, are quit' 5 different. Some are quick, some are strong, some are gentle. Pop ular ones among them must have something of all three qualities, and be adaptable to individual needs. Adaptable BLACK-DRAUGHT has been popular with four gt>ne ations of Americans. This spicy, aromatic powder may be taken dry ' followed by water, or made into a tea. Either way, it is easy to take and you regulate the strength to suit your needs. And either way, you get the lull benefit of a “tonic-laxative” herb in BLACK-DRAUGHT that helps to tone lazy intestinal muscles.

Goodlow On God’s eternal word I stand And guided by His hand— I'll lift the cross of His dear Son Until my life on earth is done. And through His mighty power In this our trying hour, Lift the problems of my race Upheld by God’s own grace— “The Cross of the Klu Klux Klan— Is a burning cross of shame! To every true American Who bears the name And America is to blame— For letting the Klu Klux Klan Use its cross of shame To strike terror in the hearts of any group or man, Who bears her name. For the cross of the KKK is unholy, unAmerican— The old world suffered a ter rible loss, Through Hitler’s crooked cross The emblem of prejudice and hate, With ruin in its wake! There is just one cross, That stands for justice and right. And that is the radiant cross of Christ, That can turn this world dark ness into light And shall forever shine, And lead men aright! Until the end of time Other crosses will someday fall But the cross of our Blessed Christ, The Saviour of us all. Shall stand when this old world is gone, When God’s Eternal Day shall dawn The cross of Christ shall be, God’s children’s guarantee— Of life throughout eternity! Oh! war torn world which shall it be? The cross of Christ that leads to life and light, OR a crooked cross or a flam ming one— That leads to death and des truction, In this world and in the world to come! "Uncle Sam” an anonomity, had made the mistake in the first place by not consulting the wishes of che people of Detroit. Detroiters jumped all over the floor in efforts to be recognized by the chairman. But they all seemed defnitely incensed at Sny der’s attitude. “When I am convinced I am wrong, I have the courage to change my mind”, the PWA offic ial said, but it was evident that all was not well, even when he again said, "I made a real mistake when I called this a pressure group". Representatives of the AFL. brought a mesage from William Green, persident of the internat ional body, sustaining the colored folk in their fight. Telegrams had been sent to out standing Negroes asking their presence t° assist in the fight. These included James E. Scott, Judge Armond Scott, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Judge William C. Huea ton, all of whom were present and William Trent, director of racial relations of the PWA.
