FISK PROFESSOR ENDORSES '
BROWN’S ARTICLE
(Continued from ooge 1)
In his address Dr. Weatherford
said. ‘T thought Pearl Harbor
would have unified us. .__and on
the surface it did for there was a
lot Of talk at first about a solid
front-but under the surface
there was a lot of cross currents.
There was not complete unity in
any way. racially, ethnically or re
ligiously. A large percentage of!
Negroes are native born. Up to
date they have not been given all I
the rights of citizenship.
“Privilege against class causes
friction and tension. Wherever
there is oppression we will have a
resurgence of the common man.
It would be wise if we lifted the
Pressure so that every man has a
chance. There is no Sound, un
biased. balanced judgement in the
south. The white man is not will
ing to concede that the Negro
couid achieve.
Dr- Weatherford stated that his
talk was not all against the white
people, that he was reserving some
thing for “my Negro friends.” To
qualify for his following state
ments he then said that he sub
scribed to 40 Negro papers and
read them all.
“After reading these papers 1
am forced to conclude that one
can’t believe everything one sees
in newsprint. The Negro press is
preaching race hatred. They ore
little more than propaganda sheets
peachln g disunity. You should
read Warren Brown’s article in a
magazine. He is one of them and
should know. No paper that prea
ches race hatred is a lover of coun
try, whether it is white or black.
Concluding his speech, he said
that “the only hope for the south
is for each race to have faith and
confidence in one another. We
must all cultivate respect of peo
ple, forget we are unlike and that
we should be more like, forget our
false differences and believe all
men can make progress. Love is
good and if we practiced it we
might demonstrate U> the world
that we could live together with
out friction.”
Dr. Weatherford, a white man,
for some 20 years was a traveling
and organizing secertary for the
student YMCA work and for a sim
ilar period of time was president
in the south. He is listed among
the leading educators of the coun
try.
Following his speech he was en
tertained at the YWCA by mem
bers of the Fisk alumni at a din
ner.
Following his adorer Dr. Wea
therford was interviewed by this
reporter. Asked if Negro papers
really preach race hate or merely
recorded it when and where it was
found, he replied that “some cf
them' do but the majority preach
race hate.” In reply to whether
Negro papers should print acts of
injustices and discrimination a
gainst the race, he said he thought
they should but not to stress it
‘ too vehemently.”
Further questioning revealed Dr.
Weatherford thought the Negi-o
press, by spotlighting incidents a
gainst Negro morale, had helped in
a small measure to ameliorate
some of these conditions. He also
believed there was some good in
the weekly papers.

Take customers of the Nebraska Power Company
for example. Their living costs are much higher
since the war began—with one outstanding ex
ception: THEIR ELECTRIC RATES ARE STILL
CHEAP!
How has this Company been able to do it? Just
one way — carefuL experienced management!
Even though the Company's taxes have sky
rocketed . . . although materials and supplies
cost decidedly more now ... in spite of the
fact that the cost of producing electricity is much
higher, the experienced organization which oper
ates the Nebraska F-wer Company has been
able to keep rates down.
And remember this, Adolph . . . we're going to
do everything humanly possible to keep rates
down. With 800 loyal employees backing up the

“THE MEANEST MAN IN THE WORLD”
NASHVILLE BROADCAST
TELLS ADVANCE
NASHVILLE, Feb. 22 (ANP) —
Anation-wide broadcast Sunday j
morning from Station WLAC of
this city heralded achievements of
Negroes in the educational and
scientific fields. Dr- M. S. Davage
natoinally known educator, secre
tary in charge of the 16 institu
tions of learning for Negroes main
tained by the Methodist church,
played a leading part in the dram
atic Script. With him was Dr. H.
D. West, professor of physiological
chemistry of Meharry college, not
ed as a research chemist and au
thor of Several pamphlets. Two
medical students in Meharry, Jos
eph Togba, a citizen of Liberia, is
•
Specializing in tropical diseases |
preparatory to working among his I
people. Miss Sanders is preparing !
for a life work as a missionay j
nurse in Portugal West Africa.
In rehearsing the service of Ne- ]
groes in the war effort, Dr. Davage ;
paid tribute to Robert H. Brooks
of Kentucky, first war casualty of
the United States armed forced,
killed in the Philippines Dec. 8,
1941, whose name was given the
drill field at Fort Knox.
WHEN Functional Nervous
Disturbances such as Sleep
lessness, Crankiness, Excitability,
Restlessness or Nervous Headache
interfere with your work or spoil
your good times, take
Dr. Miles Nervine
(Liquid or Effervescent Tablets)
Nervous Tension can make you
Wakeful, Jittery, Irritable. Ner
vous Tension can cause Nervous
Headache and Nervous Indiges
tion. In times like these, we are
more likely than usual to become
overwrought and nervous and to
wish for a good sedative. Dr.
Miles Nervine is a good sedative
—mild but effective.
If you do not use Dr. Miles
Nervine you can’t know what it
will do for you. It comes in
Liquid and Effervescent Tablet
form, both equally soothing to
tense and over-wrought nerves.
WHY DON’T YOU TRY IT?
Get it at your drug store, |
Effervescent tablets 35* and 75*, '
Liquid 25* and $1.00. Read direc- i
tions and use only as directed. !
In “The Meanest Man in the
World” Rochester an Benny are in
business as usual. Benny is boss,
and Rochester is his gentleman's
gentleman. And, if Rochester
steals a scene here and there, it’s
all the same to Jack. He steals a
few from Rochester!
The professional relationship
between Benny and Rochester is a
landmark in the history of the en
tertainment world, and a tribute to
Beny’s astuteness. Contrary t°
the general custom, Benny goes all
out in building up his “stooges” —
or is “entourage” a better word?
Unlike most comedians, Benny
does not hog the jokes. To - the
contrary, he goes to the other ex
treme, and throws most of the gags
to his company. More often than
not, Benny is the butt of a gag.
Rochester will soon be seen in
MGM’s all colored version Of “Cab
in in the Sky” with Ethel Waters
and Lena Horne lending their tal
ents to the picture.

P. S.—I have been going with
this woman 13 years. Sometimes'
she treats me nice and sometimes
she gets angry as soon as she sees
me coming. I love her. What
makes her act like that?
Ans: Her blood boils everytim?
she looks at you and thinks of the
13 years she has wasted on you
and has nothing in return except
a few more wrinkles and grey
hairs. If you Jove her, why don’t
you try telling her so.._and back
it up with something more ser
ious? Otherwise, not only will she
get angry when she sees you com
ing, but you will find the door
slammed in your face before long
when her anger reaches a certain
Point.
G. I. R.—The boy I love gave me
an engagement ring before h? left
for the Marines. Should I be flue
to him while he is away?
Ans: You accepted this boy's
ring and should consider yourself
engaged to him. I don’t contend
that you shouldn’t have dates with
other boys and I don’t believe he
expects you to sit at home every
evening while your other friends
are going to parties and dances.
However, you should avoid getting
too seriously involved with anotn
| er boy.
S. K.—What on earth will be
come of my sick daughter and her
two children? D0 you think she
will ever realize 1 am her friend
and not the mean person she
thinks I am?
Ans: Since you realize that dau
ghter is in ill health, shouldn't
you also consider that her irrit
able disposition is caused by this
physical condition? You should
show her more sympathy and less
antagonism. You could Ire a big
help to your daughter by keeping
her children several days a week
until she recovers. Insist that she
get medical attention.
B. B. M.—My husband insists on
me quitting my job. I realize that
I should be at home so I can pre
pare his meals and take care of
my home as it should be. But he
throws away so much money fool
ishly until I can’t see where I can
have anything unless I work for it.
Ans: It isn’t profiting you one
bit to work-and you are both
drawing unusually good salaries,
but you are throwing every dime
away. Were you to stay at home,
have your husband’s meals on
time there, keep your home as it
should be, and budget your hus
band’s salary, you could both live
comfortably and still (Save. You
are driving your husband to drink
and running around with the
wrong people by your being away
from home when his working day
is over.
A. W.—My wife and I have been
separated 10 years. We have
paid each other visits a few times
during these years. She writes
»
that she could like to live with me
again. Should I send for her?
Ans: There is a very favorable
possibility that you and your wife
could' find happiness again toget
her. But you must both go into
this with your eyes wide open.
Plan to forget the intervening 10
years in regards to other frienJs
you no doubt have both had. This
second venture will probably be on
a different basis, and you can't ex
pect to recapture the same roman
tic ecstaSy you felt before. You
are two sensible people and tan
build a happy companionship if
you try.
R. L.—Last January, I closed
my down-town barber shop and
opened up close to the Army camp.
I do all the business I can each
week and make good. A few cf
my old customers want me to open
my downtown shop and run both
places of business. Would this be
a good idea?
Ans: Better to let well enougfy
aJone^ You are already having
trouble getting good barbers to
work with you in the shop where
you are. It would be even more
difficult to find a reliable person
to take over and manage this down
town shop at a profit.
