Later administrations were wondering what Could be done t° re'ieve the conditions and in 1835 under Andrew Jackson it wont to an all-time lower ebb of $33,000,000 Martin Van Buren, W. IJ. Har rison. John Tyler’s administrations svere very much in the red. Dur ing the Mexican war James Iv. Polk and President Zachary Tay lor moved it up to $68,000,000 and it was $2.30 per person. The Civil war of cours" played (a very important part. President [ Abraham Lincoln increased it two billion. $1.31 per capita. We are all overjoyed to be living and do honor to the great Emancipator and broad-minded Abraham Lin coln on this Feb. 12. his birthady, and may we at all times keefp in mind the very important express ion Mr. Lincoln made- -‘‘Govern ment of the people, by th 1 people, and for the people." And also “That all men are created equ'al.” Also think of some of the words he used in his speech at Gettys-i burg of the deceased soldiers “They did not lose their lives in vain, but for a worthy cause.” President Rutherford B.

And let us continue to help by buying war bonds and stamps, feeling within ourselves as Job did say, “though you may slay ime, yet will I trust in the Almighty God!” —— Jackson Twins Cause Bluejackets to See Double at Navy Base SONS OF OMAHAN Blu'ejackets are seeing double a gain—in Camp Moffett, one of 3 camps devoted to the training of Negroes at the U. S. Naval Train ing Station, Great Lakes, 111. Re member the Gallop twins from N. Carolina. The new cause (or rather, causes) of their faulty vision are Norman and Norton Jackson, identical twins of 2115 Burdette St, Omaha, Nebr. The 18-year old brothers, sons of Mrs. Norma Banks, of the same address .don’t intentionally cause the cases of mistaken ident ity which arise. As they explain, “It just happens... .has all our liv es.’’ The boys shouldn’t have much trouble with hatchways when they go to sea as they are both only 5 feet tall. Norman weighs 118 pounds and his brother a fraction of a pound less. The only appar- | ent difference between the two is the way they write. Nonman does his from the port side. Being identical twins provides a lot of laughs for the Jackson Blue jackets and other members of their recruit training company, but some times it has its disadvantages. There was the time Norton ate “chow” and left the mess hall a bout 15 minutes before his brother appeared. When Norman arrived the rmess cooks told him he’d “have to^ wait at the end of the line if you want seconds,” and refused to change their decision until he pro i ■ ■ ’IF ’ IF— ■: •IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL” MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children's Work A Specialty *422 LAKE S! •:======-ie—-. i~-— I ..i CHAMPION MOTHER OF AMERICAN ARMED FORCES NINE SONS IN THE ARMY Mrs. Olivia Jones, who lives on a faron in West Tennessee, is pro claimed by Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr., etxecutive secretary of the Fraternal Council of Negro Chur ches as the "Champion War Moth er of America." After four month’s search thru the courtesy of the leading news papers of the country, during which the bishop received nearly a thous and letters from women who had two or more sons and daughters in the arfed strvice, he proclaimed Mrs. Jones as the Champion War Mother, and on Sunday, January 23, at the City auditorium at,Mem ^phis, Tenn., in the presence of 10. 000 people, Mrs. Jones was Crown ed "Qu'een of All American War Mothtrs." Assisting in the coron ation were mothers having four or more sons and daughters in the armed services. Mrs. Jones is tin mother cf 20 children; 17 of whom are now living; four graduated from co'lege and four are now in high school or college- With Mrs. Jones was her husband.

Selective Service put the damper on two budding romances when, they drafted the Jackson twins from their classes in junior year at Technical High School, Omaha. The boys had had time for just one double-date with new twin fresh men when their numbers came up.

NelSi n. War Production Board administra tor. Captain Leland P. Lovette. chief of Navy Public Relations; General A. D. Surles, director of War De partment public relations; Admiral Cloy, OWI Director Elmer Davis, SUMMARY OF STATEMENT The NNPA president, in intro ducing the members of the dele gation, thanked Mr. Roosevelt “for your courtesy in seeing this com mittee from our association which is working daily to do everything that it can to help win the war. and the peace that follows.'’ The statement of war aims and post war aspiration, read on be half of the association by Mr. Prattis, opened with a declaration of “unlimited and unsullied alie giance to the nation” and asserted that “we have a right and a duty to share its bessjngs, its sacrifices, and its sufferings.” The statement deplored “an> and all forms of disunity” and of ferred "to join hands with ail Am ericans in the crusade for liberty or a’i p oplcs.” PARAMOUNT OBJECTIVE The paramount objective of Ne gro Americans, the statement de cared, “is to help win the war and establish a just and enduring peace under which all men may achiev, human dignity and equality of op-t portunity.” It asked for a cessation of the “second class citizenship now im posed in many ways upon Negro es in America." This second clas't citizenship was held in the state ment. to be a violation of the prin ciples of the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Constitution. Such inferior citizenship status, the publishers declared, "prevents full utilization of the material and moral resources (0f our Country at war and destroys all possibility of a just and enduring peace." WANT FULL CITIZENSHIP It was emphasized that "the fed eral government should begin now to use its authority and powers of persuasion to end abridgement of the Negro’s citizenship" and pledg ed to work ‘‘for the abolition of employment barriers, for equal ed ucation, unrestricted suffrage in national, state and municipal elec tions, including primaries, for the enjoyment of all civil rights and liberties, established in law, for the principle that government should not impose, enforce. or sane tion patterns of racial segregation and for full protection and equal ity in the armed forces.,. .and the respect which the uniform should command." The statement urged that ex tension of the Atlantic Charter principles "to all colonials and other exploited peoples, not Only Europeans and Asiatics, but also Africans and peoples of African descent throughout the world,” and called for “full participation by the United States in establish ing and maintaining such interna tional machinery as may be neces sary to establish a world order jr. which economic equality, political self-determination, and social jus tice will prevail.” A brief additional statement was made verbally by Mr. Lewis after the prepared statement was read to Mr. Roosevelt. .VWrviVWVrtVtV.YrtWA 24th and Lake Sts.
