TO THE CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS
OF THE NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY:
The World-Herald has told you—and probably will tell you
again—that the Nebraska Power Company is going to be sold
whether it wants to sell or not. This is not true. The owners of
our company, American Power & Light Company, do not have
to sell, and they do not propose to sell. Even if they lose the
lawsuit they have brought against the Securities & Exchange
Commission in the Federal Courts, and are forced to comply with
the Commission’s order to go out of business, American would
not have to sell the Nebraska Power Company; instead, they
could distribute their Nebraska Power Company stock to
American Power & Light Company’s stockholders.
So, unless a "Peoples Power Commission" is per
mitted to take over our property, if will remain as
it is—the Nebraska Power Company—with the self
same private business management, policies and
personnel that have served you for more than a
quarter of a century.
It is our firm belief that the people of Omaha do not want the
Nebraska Power Company turned over to political ownership
and management. Because of this belief, and because the World
Herald has been trying to persuade you that Omaha should have
municipal ownership, you should know this fact—
Just as long as you want the Nebraska Power
Company to furnish your electric service—just as
long as you want the low rates and loyal citizen
ship you have had from the Nebraska Power Com
pany for more than 26 years—you can keep the
Nebraska Power Company as it is.
You have also been told by the World-Herald that unless a
“Peoples Power Commission” proceeds to take our property
now—Omaha may lose its right to do so. There is no basis for
any such statement.
As long as our property remains in private owner
ship, nothing can take from the people their right
to acquire the property whenever they want it. On
the contrary—if a commission is allowed to take it,
such a step would be final, and once taken, whether
you liked the results or not, there would be no
turning back.
Let me repeat—YOU CAN KEEP THE NEBRASKA POWER
COMPANY AS IT IS.
Sincerely,
■ ■
President, Nebraska

nationals of the United Nations

the Axis.

Jack nevertheless was of champ

was known for his ability to defeat
the champions. Besides whipping
Sehmellng, he laid low the mighty
Battling Siki .Senegales conqueror
of France’s Georges Carpentier, a
lightweight world's champion.
When Joe Louis was running a
round barefoot over the roads of
Alabama oblivious of his fistic fu

terrific ten-round punching.
An article in the New York Tim

"Cologne, Germany, May 10, 1925
—Jack Taylor of Omaha, Nebraska
a light heavyweight, today gained
a decision in the international box

points in ten rounds.
concerning ms aeieai or Battling
Siki, the New York Times, under
a Philadelphia dateline of Decem

“Battling Siki, Senegales conquer
or of Georges Carpentier and hold
er for a time of the lightweight
championship of the world, was
beaten by Jack Taylor, colored
heavyweight boxer of Omaha, in
his Philadelphia debut today at
the Adelphia Athletic Club. Tay

ten round final bout”
Taylor also defeated Texidor, the
Spanish heavyweight champion in
the fifth round of what was to
have been a twenty round bout in
Paris in November 1924; whipped
Knut Hansen, Wisconsin heavy
weight in Paris; and many other
outstanding fighters of his day.
Nat Fleicheser, the editor of
Ring, a magazine devoted to box
ing, said when questioned about
the fighter that he remembered
Taylor well. He was one of the
most traveled fighters he knew.
Fleicheser said, having fought in
many European cities as well ns
some in the Near and Far East.

prisoners, both civilian and milit

Quakertown, Pa., —E. O. Mastin,

burned to death August 17 was con

involuntary manslaughter. An
appeal was filed and Mastin is now
out on ball. Argum*nts on the ap

Important among the witnesses
of the death of the twn workers,
Willie Cooper and Mrs. Odell May
were the impoverished farm-hands'
whom Mastin imported from Flor

the tomato season ended many of
these people moved away in order
to continue to make a living, NA

A coroners jury at Quaertown Aug

for the deaths of Mrs. May and
Cooper who were trapped in a
noon day fire in a crowded barn
that provided living quarters for
several families on the farm. There
was only one exit.

Money!
BY JULIUS E. HILL
When winter winds are blowing
strong
And hushed are all the birdies’
| song. ’
This time I will not string along
With folks who have no money.
I will not need a magic charm
If I’m to keep my body warm,
Cold weather will do me no harm
For I have saved some money.
Among the folks who’ll seldom
eat —
Although they have red points
for meat,
I will not be—that ‘rap’ I’ll beat:
You see, I’ve save some money.
I’ll not live the way of tramps.
For I’ve got War Bonds and
Stamps:—
(Add me to the War Bond’
champs)
That’s how I spend MY money!
When the cold winds moan and
wail
They will not rhumba my shirt
tail;
| With dignity winter I will hail
Because I’ve saved some money.
There'll be fuel in my coal bin,
I’ll greet old winter with a grin;
(I’ve even ‘stashed’ a quart of gin!)
Yep, folks, I’ve saved some money.

PARENTS WIN HILLBURN JIM
CROW BATTLE

issioner of Education George D. j
Stoddard. Thurgood Marshall and
Donald Crichton, NAACP attorneys
acting on behalf of the Hillburn
Negro parents, had appealed the
refusal of the Hillburn school au
thorities to grant Negro children
entry to the Main School. The
NAACP contentions were that the
Brook School was unsafe and in
adequate, that it was uneconomic
al to maintain two schools when
the Main school could accommo
date all children of the town, and
that the Hillburn school board’s
hasty zoning, following the child
ren's efforts to register early this
fall, was done with intent to se
gregate on a racial basis. Mr.
Stoddard’s opinion upheld the pa
rent’s petition on all counts.

The reaction of the victorious
parents was remarkable In its good
taste and restraint. Although ob
viously they were overjoyed there
have been no public demonstrat
ions. The only "celebration” was
an NAACP Branch meeting Tues
day night at which, after a busin
ess session, refreshments were
served. Speakers at the meeting
were the two attorneys, Mr. Mar
shall and Mr. Crichton.
While the dpinion of Mr. Stod
dard made immediately effective
the abolishing of Brook school and
the integration of Negro children
Into Main School, the school board
asked that they not begin attend
ing classes until Monday, October
18th. This was In order to equip
class rooms the seats which had
to be transferred from the aband
oned school.
All reports from Main school,
Where the zoning ordinance had
permitted thirty-three Negro pu
pils to register three weeks ago,
give evidence that complete har
mony is expected to prevail when
the rest of the colored children ar
rive. According to Miss Nina
Strickle, principal of Main school,
relations between the white child
ren and those Negro children al
ready admitted were indistinguish
able from relations amongst the
white children or amongst the Ne
gro ones.
The segregated school system
just abolished had existed since
1888 .when Brook School was built
Inequalities between it and the
other school were evident. It was
55 years old, shingle-roofed and
shingle walled, and had to take
care of 88 Negro children. Main
school is a comparatively modern
structure, of brick built in 1918,
and it had eight rooms, vhicli
were intended this year to acco
mmodate 5 white children.

Girls, does an out-dated TABOO
mean you don't know this help?
Very few women cling to the old
‘ashioned notion that certain inti
nate facts form a forbidden topic
:f conversation. That’s why many
vomen who have suffered the
:ramp-like agony and nervous
strain of periodic, functional dis
at least know about CARDUT.
Try CARDUI, which may help in
one of two ways: (I) as a tonic, it
may pep up appetite, aid digestion,
and thus help build up energy for
the “time” to come; (2) started :!
days before the time, and taken av
directed, it may aid in relieving
purely functional, periodic pain.
Women have praised CARDUI's
help for 62 years. Try it!
