OCD N E> W S OMAHA TO HAVE AIRRAID TEST SOMETIME SUNDAY PM. The second Omaha day air raid test will be held next Sunday, May 23rd. This will be an unannounced test, and will be held during the af ternoon and will last about 30 min utes. Commander J. E. Davidson of the Omaha Citizens Defense Corps says the purpose of the test is to try out the new air raid warning sys tem, and to speed up mobilization of the various units. The test will last about 30 minutes and during that time all automobile, street car and bus traffic will be halted and all persons except those with OCD arm bands will be required to seek shelter or stay inside buildings.

However, this will be Omaha's first unann ounced test. The new air raid warning signal system will go into operation on this date. The new system will supplant all other signals now in use, and should be thoroughly mas tered by every civilian defense worker and all civilians in this area. The new signal system will be as follows: 1st warning—Yellow: Preliminary Caution. This is confidential, and is not relayed to the public. It in dicates that an air raid is possible. It is transmitted through the warn ing system to sub-warning centers control centers, governmental a gencies, and Cf) officials, and those institutions and industries who are connected with the warning system 2nd warning—Blue: This is relay ed to the public by a continuous signal of two minutes duration, at a steady pitch, by sirens, horns, or, L-I-N-G-E-R-I-N-Gj FLAVOR and LASTING ENJOYMENT !

The air raid ward ens will immediately notify people In their blocks of the probable air raid. If occuring during the hours of darkness a partial blackout will be effected. 3rd warning—Red: Thsd is relay ed to the public by a signal of two minutes duration, consisting of a fluctuating or warbling sound, of varying* pitch, by sirens or short blasts by horns or whistles, or both. This signal indicates that an air raid is imminent, possibly a few minutes away. Upon the sounding of this signal, in addition to the ac tion previously taken on the sound ing of the blue signal, all vehicles except authorised emergency ve hicles, shall stop, and all pedestr ians shall seek shelter. If occurr ing, during hours of darkness, a com plete blackout will be effected. 4th warning—white: All clear signal. This notice is relayed to the public by announcement on rad io or telephone or both. It is n >t by any public audible signal. This notice is an all clear, indicating that enemy planes have left the air and that the danger of an air raid is past. Upon the publication of this notice, the community will re turn to its normal status. “In our previous tests,” Mr. Davidson stated, “the Omaha Civil ian Defense Council has received splendid and patriotic cooperation from the people of Omaha, as well as the civilian defense workers. We hope to receive the same in this test.” POSTPONE PI MPING FOR TWO WEEKS Pumping of basements in the flood area will be postponed at least two weeks by the auxiliary firemen and air raid wardens of the civilian defense corps while surface drainage is done and to permit further dryng of the ground, Fire Chief D. A. O’Connor, chair man of the Civilian defense fre ser vice committee, said. “More than 75 basements were cleared of water by he firemen and air raid wardens in the past two week ends, and a large majority of hem refilled within two or three days from seepage water,’’ O’Con nor said. “It is evident that it would be a waste of time, effort and expense to continue until sur face drainage is completed and seepage is overcome.” Two of the auxiliary firemen’s trailer pumps will be used by criws employed by the county highway department which, together with crews employed by WPA are drain ing a veritable lake of water three feet deep between Fourth and Sev enth avenues and Fort street and the boulevard in East Omalja, out side the city limits. The water is being pumped into a roadside ditch on the south side of the tracks which carries it in to Carter Lake. Drainage of this area is expected to be completed in five days, Earl Whittaker, main tenance engineer of the county | highway department, said.

Bousfield, formerly of Chicago, and now sta tioned at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, with the Medical Corps, in charge of the base Hospital Unit, is one of the reasons for the high health rating among the various divis ions stationed there. The enviable record that he has made has been talked of among the higher offic ials of the army. “The success of an army depends mostly upon the health cf its men”; therefore Col. Bousfield is to be commended tor tte wonderful work that he is do ing. Col. Bousfield gave up his po sition as a member of Chicago s Board of Education to join the army. He was formerly pres dent of the Supreme Liberty Life Ins urance Co., and was one of the “Windy City’s” most outstanding physicians- On his recent visit to Chicago, C ol. Bousfield told rep'irt ois that he receives real enjoyment in doing his bit for the army, ar.d the eoopei&tion that he gets fiom the servicemen cannot be surpass ed. He said that thj Arizona o’im ! at® was grand, which means a lot toward helping to keep the men in giod x hysical condition. Mrs. Maudelle Eousfield, wife of the Col onel, is the principal of Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago.

As a corps of the medical services, they will work under direction r f Drs. C. M. Wilhelmj and A. S. Pinto co-chairman of that committee of the defense council. Arm bands, identification cards and helmets for use in air raids or other war emergencies will be dis tributed to the new corps mem bers by group chairmen in the hos pitals under supervision of Mrs. Hewitt Judd, publicity chairman of the nurse’s aid committee.

INC., 545 Fifth Avenue. New York City, Phone MUrray Hill 2-5452, Ray ^ack. Manager. Plain Talk..! ELMER A. CARTER “There is nothing the matter with me,” said a friend of mine re cently “that a little ‘dough’ won’t cure”. And that is not only true of individuals but it is true of the Negro race. There is nothing much the matter with the Negro that some money won’t cure. You can solve a lot of race problems in A merica with a hundred dollar bhl. I remember once in the City of New York when an old school mate of mine suggested that we go to a show. It was a long time ago, when New York theatres indulged in raw discrimination and the col ored theatre-goers invariably found themselves behind posts, in the rear of the balcony or segregated in some section of the theatre. We started for the Hippodrome and be ing low in funds bought tickets for the gallery. When we got up there we were so far from the stage that the actors looked like dwarfs and we couldn't hear anything dis tinct. Away down in front there were two or three vacant seats ap parently reserved. My friend who had more nerve than I had said, “Let’s go down there. We can’t see anything here”. And so we started down the steps toward the vacant seats. In those days the old Hippodrome had girls as Ush ers and one of them seeing us go ing down the steps came swiftly and planted herself directly in our path on the stairway. I hesitated —my friend kept on until he and the usherette were face to face. I saw his hand go out and touch hers She immediately turned and led us down to the row which contained the empty seats. As we moved in, she spoke to my friend under her breath. But all I could hear was his Polite “OK”. I could hardly wait until the show was over to ask him how he had managed it. So when we got in the lobby I said to him, ‘‘Did you know that young woman usher?” "No', he said, “I never saw her before in my lile”. “Well, what did you say to her?” I asked. ‘‘Oh, nothing, I just slipped a half dollar into her hand”, he replied, “and asked hfr if we could sit further down where we Could see”. “But what did she say to you when we got to the seats?” I queried. “If anyone com es with tickets, you would have to move” “. “I said O. K. A half dollar, my boy”, he continued, can smooth a lot of rough spots’”. In my experience during many years I have found that this obser vation is in many cases true and the judicious use of a little money will often save one from humiliat ing and petty annoyances of the color line. Notalwa ys—but more times than you can imagine— a quarter or half dollar will change the sneering frown of some preju dice ridden subordinate to a grac ious smile. For money has no race no color, no nationality. It speaks the same language all over the world. But the Jew has money, some one will say, and there is prejudice against him. My reply is: well, there would be a lot more if they didn’t have money and the prob lem of the Jew is fundamentally Negro. I don’t say that money will different from the problem of the wipe away all color prejudice, nei | ther will the development of great ; musicians, of great scientists or of great poets and artists. We have been able to smash big holes in the walls of prejudice without financ ial resources to amount to anything What we might do as a race in A merica with some real money no one foresees. W know the deity before which America bows down, the God be fore whom she kneels with the greatest reverence and devotion. It is money and the final test of capacity or worth of an individual or group in America is the amount of money which they can accumu late. This may seem to be a cruel indictment of a generous freedom loving people. But is true. So we must get some money. And to get money we must have ac cess to jobs that pay more than just a living wage. But these jobs de mand skill, so we must acquire skill, exceptional skill, uncommon, and extraordinary skill. And we must learn to pool our money and preserve it. But this is not enough : either. It’s too slow. t We got off to a late start. The material resources of the country were all gobbled up before we came into the picture. The foundation, of great fortunes no olnger exists for the individual enterpreneur no matter how hard he tries unless he is an inventor or a scientist who happens upon some great new dis covery and even then his chan-os of getting bgi money are small. So we must devise new methods and improve on old ones if we are ever to “get in the money” either as in dividuals or as a group. Now while the war is being fought corporations are being or ganized and plans developed by white men to make more money bv exploiting the untouched wealth of Africa and South America and the East Indies. The longer the war lasts, the greater will be the naeJ for raw materials. For a signif icant part of the world will have been destroyed.
