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

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.

(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

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’

Hot days are coming, C. C. 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

much as they please.

A detective-sergeant P. H. Jenk

ed me one evening, and congratulat

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?

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,

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

any way I can, although publicity is
my only forte. If that is of any as

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

(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.
