Reference is made to important legislation for or a gainst us; radio programs, praise worthy or insultingJand advertise ments, good, bad or indifferent. As a race, we somehow hat to take our pen and “write you these few lines.” Of course, now and then a few of our more vigilant people will dispatch a scorcher to an insulting radio program, but a fine Negro program on the air draws not a postcard of praise or comment. This latter omission has discour aged and killed several good radio chances for Negroes.

The Omaha Guide Publishing Company INITED STATES TREASURY WAR FINANCE COMMITTEE-WAR SAVINGS STAFF-VICTORY FUND COMMITTEE was in the thinck of the fight to have Congress pass an anti-lynoh bill, and an anti-poll tax bill, one of his greatest obstacles (and dis couragements) was the inertia of the Negro masses who seemed ei ther too reluctant or too lazy to take their pen in hand to damn the enemies of democracy. ! DO WRITE IN • This lazy habit is a great detri ! ment to the Negro Press, in the I sphere of advertising. Experience has shown that a “keyed” Negro advertisement placed in a white paper and a colored paper at the sarr^e time—{both circulating am ong a colored population—will be answered more often thru the white paper. It is this “thinking white” on the part of masses of Negro readers that places asperit ies in road of the Sepia Fourth Es tate. indeed, this is one of the biggest headaches which seems chronic to the Negro advertising manager. Many papers have tried to hurd le this barrier by giving their ad vertisers a plug, a blurb, or a com munity tie up. But something more is needed, perhaps a collsc tice, national campaign to make Negro readers conscious of their obligation to their mouthpieces. We might reason thus with the reader: , \ (1) We fight your battles; so, answer our ads. (2) You show alertness to oppor tunity when you mention us to our advertisers. (3) We have faith in you; when you answer our ads, you show your faith in us. (4) We cannot serve you better unless we grow; we cannot grow unless you help us, give Our ad vertisers results; answer our ads. (5) This is War. Save by pat ronizing our advertisers, and in vest the difference in War Bonds. You good ad men can think up better ones than these; this prob lem MUST be solved. BLASTS BELIEF THAT T-B IS INHERITED A general public opinion that tu berculosis Is inherited, was blast ed by Dr. J. Harry Murphy, presi dent of the Nebraska Tuberculos is Association, this week in dis cussing the association’s Early Di agnosis Campaign, now in prog ress. “Too much emphasis can never be placed on the fact that tuber culosis is not inherited,” Dr. Mur phy said. “Many persons still be lieve this untruth. Lowered re sistance to the disease may be in herited,” he granted, “and at tim es the contagiousness of tubercul osis can be traced directly to this lowered resistance. It runs in families because of the close and intimate contact within the fam ily circle,” he said. Dr. Murphy pointed out that re storation of health depends large ly upon the individual’s cooperat ion, which is being sought this month in the EDC drive. Comp lete rest, preferably /in a sanator ium under good medical supervi? ion, is the determining factor in regaining health. It is no longer believed that clftmate alone will ei ther cure or benefit a case of tu berculosis to any extent. He sounded a warning note, which should get EDC response, by saying, “with tuberculosis rising alarmingly in Europe, wffth it !• > ginning to rise in certain areas of the United States, the 1943 Early Diagnosis Campaign is the most important far-reaching campaign, the association has ever held.” Reports from all warring nations King Yuen Cafe CHOP STTFY 2010/z N. 24th St. .'Ackson 8575 .Open from 2 p. m.

There is a definite trend, during wartime, which will allow tuber culosis to go on a rampage unle3s strenuous efforts are taken to curb the disease. LongeT working hours, poor fiousing, insufficient nourishment and other wartime conditions all contribute to make the populace weaker and perfe?t targets for the guns of infectious tuberculosis. It is the individual’s Problem. The association, in its April EDC helps the people protect themsel ves. The spring month long drive is primarily of educational benefits to the public, emphasizing the im portance of skin-testing, x-ray3 and treatment of tuberculosis cases. FORETHOUGHT OF MT, PLANT BUILDERS FORESTALLS MISSOURI FLOOD DAMAGE TO POWER PLANT Electric service ovei the Nebras ka Power company system was maintained at normal during the recent Missouri river flood, ex cept for the necessity of shutting off power in the inundated areas, because river flood stage was taken, into consideration when the orig inal power plant and all subse quent plant additions were built at Fourth and Jones street. “Our Plant was never in danger during the recent flood,” J. E. Da vidson, president of the Nebraska Power Company, said. “The flood waters could have risen two feet above the record flood stage of 23.8 feet recorded in 1881 before endan gering the power plant’s operation’ The plaque affixed to the north east comer of the original power plant building, marking the 1851 flood stage, was used as a guide when this building was erected in (889, Mr. Davidson said. Floors of the original turbine and boiler rooms are at an elevation even with this record flood stage. They also are protected by floodgates at all the entrances. Additions to the Plant, erected in 1917, 1920, 1924 and 1929, all have floor elevations at least 10 feet above this flood stage mark. "The water we need most to guard against is from seepage,” Davidson srfid. “Floodgates are at tached to the building at every en trance .ready to be slid into place. These have proved adequate pro tection against seepage water gett ing into the plant during river floods and also htgh surface water during cloudbursts. Sump pumps take care of the removal of water from the plant’s basement and the tunnel leading to the water intake at the river’s edge.” _ 1 SUBSCRIBE NOW!

Of particular interest is that part of the Order which provides the following: 1- All telephone service installed or reconnected on or after April 15, 1943 will be on an interim basis only. This means that customers for whom service is installed or who have their telephone service moved to a new address on and after that date may have to give up their telephones if the facilities are required to pro vide service for persons classified as “essential users’’ in the W'ar Production Board's tfrder 2- Residence extension telephones, including plugs and jacks therefor, cannot be installed and can• not be reconnected for service, even though left in place by a previous user, except when essen tial in cases of serious illness, and then only on a temporary basis. In addition to these limitations, there are other restrictions in the Order which may, in some instances, affect the installation of telephone service. If you plan to move or make any change in your telephone service, please get in touch with our business office to determine what services are available for your individual needs. Your understanding and cooperation are helping greatly to meet wartime telephone needs and we feel sure you will realize that these Government restrictions are necessary to help speed the winning of the war, NORTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Buy U.
