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.”

Chicago, (PPS, Inc.) A great vic

the Second Ward when the final
returns came in late Tuesday
night, April 6, gifing William H.
Harvey, Aldermanic Candidate of
the Second Ward, a majority vote.
Congratulations and warm hand
shakes ere graciously received by
this young man who was Victor
ious in his first fight for a public
office. Congressman William L.
Dawson, Democratic Ward Comm
itteeman of the Second Ward, who
was responsible for Alderman Wil
liam H. Harvey's name being plac
ed on the ticket, proved his polit
ical eminence by carrying the en
tire Ward for theDemocrafic
Party, which io the past has been
one of the strongest Republican
wards in the entire nation.
Alderman Harvey was formerly
the Secretary to Congressman Daw
son when Dawson was in the City
Council. At the time of his nom
ination for Alderman, he was aet

in Europe .citing a rise in the dis
ease, backs up the doctor’s state
ment.
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.”

New York, N. Y—The recent ad

In a letter to Dr. Russel E.

It was asked if all efforts to

persons from these states and of
fered this fact as reason for con

New War Restrictions
on Telephone Service
To save scarce and critical materials for military equip
ment and to make sure telephone service is available for
essential wartime needs, the War Production Board has
issued a new order further restricting instaliation of
telephone service. 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,
