In the complaint, the Random woman alleged that police had found her daughter clad in pajamas in Stephin Fetchit’s Vincen nes Hotel Room here. The girl had been given a six month term by the above Judge a week ago, but on Tuesday, July 20, the day Fetchit was sentenced, the Jurist declared that he believed the girl had been punished sufficient and freed her. “Fetchit” posted a Five Hundred Dollar Bond pending motion by his lawyer for a new trial within 60 days The People have ARight to Know 1. No order has been issued by the Securities and. Exchange Com mission for the Sale of the Nebr aska Power Company. 2. The Nebraska Power Comp any DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SOLD AND Omaha is NOT obligat ed to buy it, even if it were offered for sale. 3.

The people of Omaha didn’t vote on it....the people’s only repres entatives, the Cuy Council, didn’t make any promises In fact, the City Councl and the Mayor, last summer, signed a public statement in which they said they didn’t want the Nebraska Power Comp any sold. 4. The Mayor and City Council passed a resolution on May 21, 1942, in which they specifically brught out that they preferred to keep Nebraska Power Company Under business management, as it is now. The resolution stated:— “There is no general demand in O maha for the sale of the Nebraska Power Company. This Company has furnished our city with splen did service and is a fine citizen. However, IP the company is to be sold, the City of Omahf should have a study made by its own civ ic leaders together with the City Council to ascertain what is best for our citizens.’’ 5. Nebraska Power Company is the city’s largest taxpayer. $776. 000 was paid in city taxes by the Company during the past twelve) months. This money goes a long way in helping to support the Citys schools, parks, fire and police de partments, and other necessary Civic activties. No thinking citiz en wants to see this tax source endangered. 6. Nebraska Power Company i normally employs approximately [ 800 men and women, citizens of our community, whose earnings support themselves and their fam ilies. 7. One hundred and sixty of our employees are now serving on the battlefronts of the world We must protect their interests also. 8 Last year the Company spent nearly $2,000,000 locally for mater ials, supplies and services Practically every business and ’ilj; We cheered, too, when the Government called on industry to work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, until this war is won. But continuous production is nothing new to the electric industry. We've always worked that way. That's one big reason why we were pre pared to power the factories that are filling the sky with planes, the earth with tanks, and the sea with ships. Production schedules that stagger the world are possible only because America is so power-full. America has far more electric power than all the Axis countries combined. And today's power is quickly available at almost any point of need. These things have been accomplished because America's electric companies have been built and operated the American way—by good busi ness management.
