A MESSAGE TO —GALLOWAY (Continued from page 3) acription while here. —ccic— Both Booker T. Washington, and his brother, Charles Washington, 2 0 3 7 Florence Boulevard, dropped into the office and congrat ulated me on triyng to add a little life to the GUIDE columns. And the little seventeen-month old Judy Washington, the mascot of the district Red Cross organization, received a severe cut in an automo bile accident, the other evening. —CCM— C. C. please let me quote some thing from “This World” appearing In the Minneapolis Spokesman. You know that £ the paper published and edited by our mutual friend, Cecil E. Newman, of Minneapolis. He says, in part: “A lot if people have no idea how many jobs a small editor has. He is usually and is, in this instance, a jack of all trades. He’s a part time office boy and janitor, »ele pl one answerer, collector, ad sales manager, circulation manager, makeup man, information clerk, CHOP SUEY King Yuen Cafe 20101/2 N. 24th St. JAckson 8576 .Open from 2 p. m. until 3 a. m American & Chinese Dishes town trouble shooter, financial wizard, social worker, job find er, editor and publisher.” As your assistant, C. C. I certain ly can appreciate what Newman is writing about, but I like it, *nd with the assistance of your office secretary, Miss Berniece Gray, the work is a pleasure, and I wouldn't trade jobs with any, unless, prob ably, it was with a larger paper, with more diversified jobs. But, r.o, that isn’t necessary, we can make the GUIDE larger. —CCM— Do you know a Mrs. Bertha Haw kins, C. C? She is a widow. She lives at 2210 Ohio Street. Every time she sees me, no matter where, we stop and chin awhile. She says she knows you well. —CCM— I notice, C. C. that you get mail from Boy's 1 own regularly. Well, Mrs. Margatet Smith’s boy, Louis ■Wilson, li yiois old, is now at Boys Mrs. Smith lives at 2815 Sewaid Street. —CC -I— What is that pavillion-like build ing on 26th Street between Grant and Erskine Streets? —CCM— C. C. it would never do to have me as one of tlje judges of some lo cal beauty contest or other. I'm meeting these lovely Omaha ladies every day and each seems more at tractive than the other, if that is possible. I say that because I am thinking of Mrs. Theresa Lewis 2122 ' M .. (f „ ... ...

(One of the Essentials of a Democracy) The Liberty Bell enshrined in Indepen dence Hall gymbolizes the first success ful fight by Americans for the right to plan their own lives . . . the right to build their own future. In America — and only in America — every citizen can set his own goal with the right to work toward it unhampered by any system of caste or class .. . serene in the knowledge that he and his loved ones can ultimately enjoy the peace and security his labors have won. Freedom of the future — the right of every American to earn his living as he chooses — t© gain and hold success through his own initiative, careful plan ning and hard work. To many peoples bf this earth that is only a beautiful ideal. In America it is a reality—a reality worth’ fighting for hard, as long as it may take, until Victory!

And do you know that because of some kind of priority rulings that ice can be delivered but once a day? I didn’t know it until I called on Mrs. Daisy Perry, 2914 Lake Street. You know she and her husband are in the transfer and ice business. She told me that but one delivery a day can be made on ice now, although people can call at the local ice sta tions, including their own, and p ur chase as often, and as much, ps much as they please. I also learned from Mrs. Perry that the Mr. and Mrs. John C. Ad ams, of Lincoln, were recent visit ors of theirs. —CCM— It’s too bad but Mrs. N. A. Perk ins, 1844 North 20th Street, has been sick in bed for quite awhile. —CCM— One of the pleasant receipts of the week, C. C. was a “roundtable’’ letter from Michigan. It was a three page affair with every mem ber of the “We’re All Americans’’ committee each writing a portion of/ the letter. Gee, it feels swell lo know that friends elsewhere th'.nk of you. —CCM— A detective-sergeant P. H. Jenk ins, of Miami Street, I believe, hail ed me one evening, and congratulat ed me upon my journalistic effo.-ts here. Is he a subscriber of yo i.s, C. C? “King Jesus is My Captain." . * is the name o< a rollicking ch ral number that I heard, Sunday, at li.e Bethel AME. Church, 2428 Franklin Street, pastored by the Rev. B. E. Jones. Or is it sacrilegious to call a choral number “rollickin?g” Any way I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the services, except for one thing. At the close the pastor, the Rev. Jones, publicly introduced me to his congregation. I like to go, watch, hear, and observe things but I do not like to be noticed. Perhaps that is the wrong spirit but it is my nature. If I have any ex pression to make I like to make it unaware of those contacted. How ever, the Reverend was very sociable and I surely shall attend there often. I also met Sgt. George Bevins, while there- You know the Sergeant is an old war veteran and each week he writes of his experiences in our contemporary, the Star. By the way, C. C. who is the choir director at Bethel? And, particular ly, who is the little pianist? —CCM— C. C. do you think I am a mir acle man? Well, I ’ll have to be one if I hope to stay in the good graces of Mrs. Bertha Johnson, 2324 Charles Street. Remember, last week, I wrote something about the dog “Dopey” and credited the in formation from her. Well, I was all wet. The dog didn’t die. It was the master, Sgt. Riley that died. The dog is still alive. “Long Live Dopey!” How’s that Bertha? —CCM— I told you something about the Rich ard Turners last week. Well, one of them. (I think he is of the third generation.) Anyway he works at the bomber plant and he asked me why more colored women didn’t iiy to get jobs out there. He said that foreign women get jobs but, appar ently the colored women do not try. Upon inquiry I learned that colored women could be used f or maids, dusters, and in the kitchen. All that is required is that the women be in good health; have a birth cei tificate, and an application picture. They should file their applications any morning at the employment of fice at Meade and Nebraska. Well, there you are, Richard Tur ner. If some of the colored women do apply, and are qualified, and don’t get jobs, please let me know, MBBllll^illuaiBlW»)Ulll«BllllflHfflBlBllBlBiiinwitBiiiiniiiiiiinimntiHwmiTin COMING TO THE RITZ May 24 - 25 j —TYP NEWS SYNDICATE, Hattie Noel has been cast in a prominent role in Republic’s big-' budget production, “Lady For A Night," in which Joan Blondell and John Wayne are co-starred, with a strong supporting cast headed by Ray Middleton, Philip Merivale, Blanche Yurka, Edith Barrett, and Leonid Kinskey. Miss Noel has been seen in many films, and is one, of Hollywood's most popular negro players.. - 1 '' —III ■ I and we will write further. —CCM— A happy little lady is Mrs. Lillian King, 1103 North 23rd Street, for soon she will be moving into her own home at 958 North 25th Avenue That’s enough to make any young housewife happy, isn’t it? —CCM— From Mason City, Iowa, was Mra. Ella Higsby .visiting her son, and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Dav id Finney, 2016 North 22nd Street. No need to tell you that Mrs. Higs by was highly entertained while here. —CCM— A little sympathy is extended to Mrs. A1 Scott, 1912 North 25 th Street, for she has been having more than her share of sickness i» the family lately. —CCM— C. C. Can you imagine an old guv like me having romantic momenta? One evening, a pretty little girl, a bout 19, walked into the office. Needless to say she certainly was pleasing to look at. But she mere ly wanted to tell me that she is an aspiring evangelist; that she talks every Wednesday evening, at the Mt. Calvary Community Church, 25th and Grant, at 8 o’clock, and in vited me in to listen to her. To support her bit of evangelism .are Miss Doris Ransom, and Miss Tcr essa Union, singers, and Mrs. Char lotte Sinner, pianist. If you don’t see me Wednesday night, C. C. you know where I’ll be—maybe. —CCM— I had quite a chat with the Rev. L. W. Anderson, pastor of the Morn ing Star Baptist Church, 26th and Franklin Streets. He had just got ten back from a vsiting trip to Kan sas City. I don’t suppose I should mention it but he hoiv was keyed up about the progressive spirit o-' the people in Kansas City. (How ever, they always told me that the distant fields always looked the greenest.) And in a lifetime of trav eling everywhere I have found out that is true. I’m sure, however, the Reverend brought back some of that Kansas City progressiveness and Will use it right here in Omaha to build up the Morning Star Bap tist Church. I’ll be glad to help in any way I can, although publicity is my only forte. If that is of any as sistance, Reverend, it’s yours. —CCM— Was that the “World of Todaj •' carnival that spent the week al 30th and Wirt Streets? lliHiiiiiiKimmiiiimmiiiiiiiimniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiimimiuimiiiiiiiimiiiimiimiiiuitMituiM ..... ........minmmMimiimmiimimHIIMMBBig Costs only 3C per day s Pays up to $325 per year Accidents and Sickness strike quickly and Hospitals demand r*«h Federal's Hospitalization Insurance meets this emergency promptly by providing nuariiAK and HOARD— OPERATING ROOM -X-RAY EXAMINATION-ANESTHESIA LABORATORY EXAMINATION—MATERNITY BENEFITS - SURGEON'S FEES — SANATORIUM BENEFITS—EMERGENCY AID—A M B U L A N CE SERVICE — a total maximum payment up to $325 foe only 3c a day.

Let me pay you immediately!” Aren’t those delightful words, C. C? That was the greeting I got when I call ed at the home of Mrs. F. D. Banks, 2118 North 25th Street. You know who Mrs. Banks is, don’t you? She is the lovely niece of “Judge” Pink ett. —CCM— And some people are so consider ate!

How’s this for a human-interest story? Otis King, Omaha boy at Fort Riley, Kansas, will be home for a visit soon, and he will then see for the first time, his little three months old daughter.

Pixpage—Need for human skill y especially good eyesight to help America win the war is emphasiz ed by the above chart which is one of a series based upon a vision survey conducted by Drs. Hugh A. Kuhn and Hedwig S. Kuhn e£ Hammond, Ind., among 16,332 in dustrial workers of the Calumet area. Tests among such workers as reported by the National Soc iety for the Prevention of Blind ness showed that 76 percent had various defects of visual perform ance, while 15 percent had defects sedious enough to handicap their industrial efficiency, or ability to produce—a serious menace during war-time. PROTECTION OF EYESIGHT IN WARTIME (by Eleanor Brown Merrill, Direc tor Executive National Society For the Prevention of Blindness) — A1 Uoyal Americans are united in their support of our country’s war program. It should not take a war to make us all conscious of the importance of sight, but times like these make us realize, mo.e than ever, the importance of good, eyes. One of the most shocking discov eries in the physical examination of men called up for military ser vice, has been the extent of defect ive vision; this defect is one of the principal reasons for the re jection of thousands of young men who are otherwise fit for active duty. Poor eyesight is so wide spread that the Government has found it necessary to lower the res trictions concerning men with vis ual defect. Not only are good eyes neces sary for men in the army, but al so for men who are working in plants that are making war mat erials. The expansion and speed up of production in various ind’JS j tries during the war period have, 1 of course, increased the hazards which result in eye injuries and other types of accidents. The most serious kind of industrial in juries-except for those which are fatal_are accidents to eyes that result in blindness. We need today, more than ever, all of our trained workmen, and ; we cannot afford to lose the serv ices of any of them through care lessness or negligence in provid ■ ' 111 TUES.7MAY2^^ HI thru SAT., JULY 4 if OD U Doily except Sun il fa I ■ III • days and Monday* j Rain or Shine ENTIRE PROCEEDS WILL BE EXPENDED FOR PATRIOTIC I AND CIVIC PURPOSES. |l| Admission III including HI Grandstand (lng eye protection, this war is be ing fought on the industrial front of America... .in the aviation plants, tank factories and ship yards .... as well as on battlefields and the high seas. Even in normal times the haz ards to sight in industrial occup ations are serious; but the em ployment of large numbers of men in new jobs... .working in strange surroundings, perhaps in plants operating on a twenty-four hour basis_are bound to in crease the likelihood of such ac cidents. For this reason the Gov ernment has already created re gional committees of safety ex perts, throughout the country, who are supervising the accident pre vention programs in these plants in which war materials are manu factured. If news bulletins from the Far East should tell us that Japanese weapons are causing eye injuries to our soldiers in the Phillippines at the rate of 1,000 each day.... with some of these injuries result ing in total blindness, .we would be horrified. But, this is the rate at which industrial eye injuries oc cur in the Unted States... .even in normal times. —day in and day out. In spite of the joint efforts of labor, industry and various volun tary and official agencies a trem endous toll of needless eye damage still continues to be inflicted on working men and women, year after year. The direct and in direct cost of eye hazards in the United States has been estimated at $200,000,000 annually. But eye accidents in industry have a co3t far greater than the monetary one. The accumulated social cost of such accidents is tremendous, and the cost to the individual worker, both in physical pain and mental suffering, is beyond evaluation.
