He is very well fitted to describe the nationally famed House of Wor ship of the Baha'is at Wilmette, near Chicago, having watched its’ development from the laying of the corner stone many years ago. Heralded as one of the most un usual and beautiful buildings of modern times, as well as an arch itectural expression of the spirit of world unity, this striking struc ture on the shore of Lake Michi gan has attracted attention all over the world. Its significance, / as well as the ideals of the Baha'i Faith, will be stressed in these talks. The continent-wide visit of Ab du’l Baha, eldest son of Baha’u' llah, the founder of the Baha'i Faith, is a vivid memory to Mr. Scheffler, who was often in the presence of this great spiritual teacher and he will describe him and his message particularly on Saturday evening. In the field of Baha’i administration Mr. Scheff ler is also at home having served as a member of the National Baha’i Assembly for several years. Thrilling indeed is it to those working in this inclusive and far reaching Movement to see the prin 1 ciples for which the early follow ers of Baha’u'11a and his predec essor gave their lives being dis cussed by thousands in different ivalks of life. The hope and aim of those who follow this Teaching is to help in the greatest spiritual adventure of all time_uniting in peace and brotherhood all the var ious races, classes and nations a^d Solving permanently and equitably the economic and national prob lems which have heretofore baffled the wisest of men. A very cord ial invitation is extended to all to attend these lectures. EMPLOYEES TO INFORM PEOPLE NEBRASKA POWER “DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SOLD” Mere than 700 employees at a meeting Tuesday night of la3t week at Hotel Fontenele, pledged them selves to inform the people of O maha and surrounding territory that the Nebraska Power Company does not have to be sold to the city. The resolution addressed to the Omaha city council was passed un animously calling upon the Mayor and council to stand behind the council’s resolution passed May 21, 1912. stating their desire to leave the company under its present pri vate ownership. The resolution stated: “We call upon the Mayor and City Council of our city to stand behind, the resolution they passed on May 21, 1942, in which they stated their desire to leave the Ne braska Power Company as it is. You passed this resolution when you joined with all of us in keeping Guy Myers and the Consumers from taking over Omaha's electric system and thus kept our fine el ectric service from becoming pub licly owned, which automatically brings political Control. "For many months, staements have been made in Omaha, unsup ported by fact, to the effect that Nebraska Power Company had to be sold. You gentlemen now know that the Nebraska Power Company does NOT have to be sold. You have received copies of a telegram from the Securities and Exchange Commission setting forth the true facts in this situation. “Nebraska Power Company does not have to be sold and the City of Omaha is not under any obliga tion to purchase, even if it should be offered for sale. "Since our Company doesn’t have to be sold .then why brnig about a sale under any plan of public own ership? “We have read about the issue of breaking faith with the legislat ure Unless the Nebraska Power Nervous,Restless On “CERTAIN DAYS” Of The Month?

This is a fic-; titious issue. We know that you gentlemen constitute the only allth 01 ity who could make any such deal, and you did not make any such deal. “'If an effort is being organized now to force our Company and O maha’s electric serivce into public ownership, we think some peapte are breaking faith with U*. “Certainly no issue of this mag nitude should be decided without a vote of the people." The action came at the dose of tie ri:( .1 l< after thty had listen ed to talks by Martin Nelson, pres ident of the local chapter, Interna tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Ed Hofmann, president of the Independent Employes As sociation of the Power Company, Morris E. Jacobs of Bozell and Jac obs Advertising agency, and adver tising director of the company, and Frank Heinisch, chairman of the Omaha On Guard Committee. In all my years In Omaha no subject of greater importance and greater city-wide jnterest has ever been presented to the people,” Jacobs declared in his talk in which he stressed the significance of encroachment on the American system of free enterprise, shou d the Nebraska Power company be come a publicly-owned utility. “The great majority of the peo ple if Omaha do not believe in pub lic ownership, and they want to keep the Nebraska Power Comp any as it is. You, its employes, want to retain private ownership, not as employes of the Nebraska Power company but as private cit izens of this community and of A merica who oppose public owner ship and its threat to free enter prise.” Jacobs denied that there had been any misunderstanidng about the purpose of L.B_ 204 as a ve hicle to protect Omaha’s interests only if the Nebraska Power comp any ever were to be Sold. He cited i the resolution of the city council if May 21, 1942. eH also quoted Governor Griswold, who, in sign ing L.B. 204, described the legisla tion as a “haven” for Omaha’s pro tection in case the power company ■ ever were sold. There was never any question in the minds of anyone, Jacobs said, that L.B. 204 was anything but a protective measure and an enabl ing act. It was not a law depriv ing Omaha of the right to private ownership of its utility. The May or’s committee to investigate the power situation alho called L.B. 204 a vehicle by which the city may protect its interests, and not a '“must” order for purchase of the company by the city. “Nobody knows what the status of the Nebraska Power company is, nor how American Power and Light might Comply with the dis solution order until the holidng company “death sentence,” Jacobs said. “It might not sell the Nebras -ka Power company at all, or it might sell it to private interests, even to you employes of the Com pany, or to its present stockhold ers. “Even if American Power and Light is ordered to sell its inter est in the Nebraska Power comp any, it can’t make Omaha buy it, an we are protected against its sale to Consumers public power district by L.B. 204,’’ he said. In’his address. Martin Nelson Complimented the Nebraska Power Company’s management as being fair to deal with. “We don’t want [S.-.n^m Blueberry Muffins So easy—your youngster can make 'em • Come blueberry time, and it's time for blueberry muffins—feath ery light and flne-textured—delicate blueberry flavor “coming through" in full.

He also cited the exchange of telegrams on inquiry to the SEC in which the local IB EVT. union was informed that no order for the sale of the company had been issued by the SEC and that Omaha, in .my case, »vas not obligated to buy the power comp any properties. STOP IT NOW! BY RUTH TAYLOR The camp follower of war is an ugly tension, an upsurge cf hatred and prejudice that is bom of sus picion and fear. There is a with drawing into groups and an uneasy watching one group of another. We judge not by the actions of the good majority of the group, but by the agitation of the lowest element. This is true of all groups, wheth er they be minorities in the nation, or minorities within the majority. It is as true today of Labor and Industry as it is of Negro and White—or of religious faiths .set one against the other. Bring it down to the personal e quation to see it properly. Would you have your own group judged by its poorest representatives or by the best? We must be as fair to others as we would have them be fair to us. We all make mis takes. Let us not add to our mis takes the sin of hasty generaliza tion. There is no sense in mincing matters. We cannot destroy ten sion by ignoring it. This crackle in the air may be but heat lightn ing. We must not allow it to be come the forerunner of a storm. It makes no difference what the causes of the recent shameful acts of violencfe. It makes no differ ence who struck first or why. The facts remains tha tit should never have happened and it must stop now! This unreasoning tension breeds a miasma of fear which is fatal if it ih allowed to spread. Let us not let it raise our minds to fever heat. It is as contagious as the plague that leaves desolation in its wake. We have see nwhat happened when it spread abroad. Let us re holve not to let it come here. Let us condemn evil wherever it exists, nit leap to defend what we are not sure is right. Let us praise righteous actions and right eouh men, no matter to what group they belong. Let us not let re sentment for wrongs done, blind, our vision. We must stamp out this danger ous feeling now, once and for alt. by Joining as individuals with all BAPTISTS TO CHICAGO SEPT 8 TO 12TH ^ I REV. D. V.

'Of course, it’s a Negro camp,” she conceded, ‘‘but the marvelous thing about it is that they just didn’t have to name it after a Ne gro baseball player. They could have called it ‘‘Babe Ruth Field” or some such name. And they didn’t ■ have to send for me. Now did they?

"He was, a careful, conservative sort of man; that’s why he left me a home and enough to send his siser and our son thr.ough their remaining years of college.” The secret of Rube Fosters suc cess, one gathers after a talk with Mrs. Sarah Foster, was two fold. He had a good helpful wife and he himself was that rarity among sportsmen.a Christian, God fearing and church-going. To a man who had known and worked with Rube Foster, Frank ‘FAY” Young nationally known sports writer, it never Ceased to be a surprise Mrs. Foster said, that ‘‘Rube went to church every Sunday when he was in the city.” 24th AND LAKE STREETS PRESCRIPTIONS -—Free Delivery_ WE. 0609 DUFFY PHARMACY VAV.V.W.V.'AWAV.V^ 11 TIME AND TIDE WAIT ON ;; J;NO MAN—NOW IS THE TIME I: !;to get your SHOES RE.; ; j BUILT. ! | Quality Material & Guaranteed •!
