‘No Title Fight’-Stimson
Washington, May 3 <ANP>—Sec-S
retary Henry L. Stimson said that
the war department would not ap
prove or sponsor a title fight
tween the heavyweight champion,
Sgt. Joe Louis and Billy Conn, out
standing contender.
Sen. Warren Barbour two weeks
ago polled the sports editors of 670
i daily papers as to their thoughts on
the matter of a return engagement
between the pair. Conn at the
time indicated a willingness to ac
cept a match, but Louis had not
been heard from.
The senator has not yet announc
ed the results of his check.

LEGION NEWS
(BY JULIUS E. HILL)
(Post Publicity Officer)
Easter Sunday evening marked
the beginning of the public’s real
interest in the ••Lounge”, the name
given the night club in the new
quarters of Roosevelt Post No. 3C,
of the American Legion. The at
tendance was very large. In spite
of a substantial number having
been added to those used at the old
quarters there weren’t enough tabl
es to seat the patrons.
Neither were there enough wait
resses to handle the crowd; and
members of the post were called
upon to help in serving them. It
was an exceptionally good natured
crowd however and while waiting I
to be served spent the time in
pleasant conversation with their 1
friends and in admiring the decor
ative beauty of the Lounge.
Many of the patrons were con
cterned with obtaining something
more substantial than liquid re
freshments and “Mack” was all
set to serve them with sandwiches
of the same tasty, high quality and
mouth watering goodness that for
years has marked him as one of
the best cooks and caterers in O
maha. And the sandwiches he
’ serves for the price paid, may well
cause one to wonder if his meat
points possess more value than
those others are struggling along
! with-which of course they don't
It is simply that Mack and the of
ficers of the post as well have matic
ae. Day after day, uni
formed men pour in
to the Union Station
at Omaha, Nebraska.
They come from New York, Chi
cago, San Francisco... from Albert
Lea, Minnesota . . . Brady, Mon
tana . . . and other points from
coast to coast.
To them, Omaha is a city of strang
ers; just a "stop-over" on their way
to a destination. So, to help them
feel at home, the railroads serving
the Omaha Union Station have pro
vided air-conditioned quarters for
a recreation room, shower baths,
canteen, and first-aid station in
charge of Registered Nurses. Local
concerns and townspeople have
contributed complete equipment
and supply refreshments daily.
Volunteer workers give generous
ly of their time. Day and night, a
neon sign displays this greeting—
"Service Men's Center — Every
thing Free."
This is a small thing as compared,
for example, to the vital job the
railroads are doing in transporting
war materials and troops. But it is
one way in which we on the home
front can give a little extra service
to our men who aria fighting for
their Country.

(SCRAP CHAIRMAN SAYS
DOUGLAS- COUNTY WILL BE IN

“Douglas County has a job to do”
said Mr. Harold Roe Bennington,
County Salvage Chairman, in com
menting on the third statewide
salvage drive, “but we will be up
there with the leaders when it is
all over”. The campaign will run
from May 10th to 22, the same dat

Chief O’Connor said. “We special
ly need men for the South Omaha,
Fairacres, Loveland and Florence
districts.”
Nearly 500 me nhave completed
basic fire training, but many have
been lost by induction in the arm
ed forces, and others have taken
jobs in essential war industries and
can no longer serve, O’Connor ex
plained.
Equipment being received inciud
es 28 trailer pumps, 20 skid mount
pumpers and 11 front end mount
pumpers. These will be distribut
ed to various locations throughout
the city, it was agreed Saturday by
Tire Commissioner Korisko, O’Cor.
j nor, Reep, H. L. Patterson, assist
ant training chief; Harry Fiene, as
sistant to the executive officer of
the defense council, and B. L. Nesi
ltbush, chief instructor of the fire
department. In this way the city
will be adequately covered in an e
mergency.
Chief O’Connor also advocates
that every auxiliary fireman should
be assigned to a regular fire sta
tion, but several details must be
worked out before this can be done
he said.
The fire barn at Twenty-fourti
| and Cuming streets is being ar
ranged for a central headquarters
for the auxiliary fire and rescue
corps. It will be complete with a
loudspeaker alarm system, tickeis
and bells.

tion of being the first state to go
over her quota and for the entire
year placed 14th with 111 percent
of her quota.
“At the time” said Mr. Roe, “we
may have wondered how it would
ever be possible t ouse all those
mountains of iron, but somehow
most of them disappeared.
“No we are informed that collec
tions have slowed down so much
that mills have been receiving but
25 percent as much scrap as they
got last fall. In fact Nebraska has
collected but 28 percent of the 80,
000 tons allotted to her for the first
six months of the year.
“We need scrap and we need it
now to make ships .planes and im
plements of war for our figntihg
men. We have the enemy on the
run, and the only way to keep him
there is to see that our men have
plenty of everything.”
Another point stressed by Mr.
Roe was that the community scrap
pile was the reserve stock which
the steel makers could rely on n
time of need. Unless the material
is collected, they have no way of
knowing just where they stand m
reserves.
“When we look back to last year
we recall how many mills were fac
ed with shutdowns,” he said, “then
the Nebraska plan was put into
play. As a result of the national
acceptance of this idea, not a single
mill was forced to shut down, or
even curtail production.
“It is now up to each commun
ity to put forth every effort that
our quotas may be met.”

ALKA-SELTZER
p vaSfc. my day
Occasionally, i wake up in
the morning with a Headache.
It sometimes wears off along the
middle of the forenoon, but I don’t
want to wait that long, so I drink a
glass of sparkling ALKA-SELTZER.
In just a little while I am feeling a
lot better.
Sometimes the week’s ironing tires
me and makes me sore and stiff.
Then it’s ALKA-SELTZER to the
rescue — a tablet or two and a little
rest makes me feel more like finish
ing the job.
And when I eat “not wisely but
too welb” ALKA-SELTZER relieves
the Acid Indigestion that so often
follows.
Yes, Alka - Seltzer brightens my
day. It brings relief from so many
of my discomforts, that I always
keep it handy.
Why don’t you get a package of
ALKA-SELTZER at your drug store
