THE FEMININE TOUCH As far as the male part of the office staff was concerned every thing was tidy enough in the of fice of the Omaha Guide, but the emale part of it didn't think 3o and got busy. Last week’s issue being ready to go to press things were a little dead in the place. To make up for this lack of something t° do the young women started giving it a feminine touch. And when they finished the office was so spic and span that it wasn’t—we'l, it wasn’t the same place at all! Now the only thing wrong with the whole office was that the young women were of the opinion that at least ONE of the male members of the staff should have pitched in and gave a little help. Well, he did. sort of. Generously he gave them all the advice he could think of and they didn’t want or need. What they wanted, they stated was some assistance, that would not make or thing that the giver was suffering from sleep ing sickness. That was a direct insult to the male in question, who isn’t much more than on speaking terms with work—and wh in ever possible, ignores it altogether. Sr, silently he watched them to do their stuff, doing magic to the of fice and decided that in due time ^ maybe, show his appreciation of their feminine touch by doing u little—VERY little, work around RKim-T' PHARMACY —24th and Seward St.— Prescriptions —FREE DELIVERY— WE-1613 ALKA - SELTZER»offen ’ fast relief for Headache, '-Simple Neuralgia, "Morn ■ n ii i ■■ ln* After", Cold Distress, aStH^-llC Muscular Tains and ,l\to Acid Indigestion.

HICKS MAKES A MISTAKE In informing a Guide reporter of her sale of a 125.00 worth of war bonds, Mrs. Esther Hicks gave the' woman’s name who purchased the bonds as Mrs. Mary Johnson of I 1124% North 27th street, instead of 1814% North 27th street and the name is Miss Mary Dodson who lives at the same address as Mrs. Hicks.

Hts father was seen buying an ar ticle of food for the celebration. Jack is a Chip off the old block, therefore wants to do things in a big way, even if someone else is bearing the expense.

Why not join the all out drive, of the NAACP. against Hitler and his henchmen? Do you know that only 250,000 (persons, including our allies, constitute the membership of the NAACP? That is a fact. So that gives a ride to over 13,000 000 people, riding on the shoulders of each and every member. Where do you stand? We hope not in the line with so many spending on non-essentials, trying to make an impression, trying to be a big guy —letting someone carry your obli gations and wonder just where the fool killer is or has honesty, deceiv ing and common sense flown afar? This war will not last always. At 'least we pray to GOd that it won’t. How will you be situated in your Personal affairs? What condition will your organization and institu tion be in,? Do you intend to be in the bread line? Do you have any War Bonds? You know that above all else they will be a solid rock upon which you can stand and a part you can pay while our boys at the front are doing their bit. As it is never too late to start. we are tmnKing u wouia oe a nne addition to our branch if we could inaugurate a junior branch com posed of young men and ladies to prepare for the future. It would bridge the gap and do a lot to ce ment an understanding which is always an advantage. Our busy people should not be too busy to make a sacrifice when we are ca'l ed upon. Don’t forget, when the hair on the head of a Negro in the everglades of Florida is pulled, the Negroes on o«r northern boundary lives are affected. The NAACP. is all out for the FEPC and all over the country, i Not just the North and east, but I the south and west 100 percent-, And don’t expect just a few to car ry on: everybody expects some thing as a result of the effort, so why not ail of us make our con tribution? Do you want all of the freedom? Prove it by planking down from one to one hundred dollars. Prejudice and malice, the filthy vultures, have reared their scun; imy heads in our midst lately and woe is me! They were cracked on the head by some of us in our small way. Let’s make it in a large way by knitting a closer re lationship, more harmony, more and greater Organization and un derstanding. Our next big meeting will be announced later, So watch for the date and come out with a friend.

HILL) Wanting to win the war is ele mentary with every nation concern ed in the present conflict- -But who will win the peace? ‘‘We will,” say the Allies; "We will”, say their foes. But the statement of each eaves the ques tion as unsettled as in the beginn ing. Now if the question had been this: Who will win the war? It would have been easier to answer. For in the end the Allies will win it; its foes will be defeated and conquered. But there still will re main the task of winning the peace Already in this war Germany has Conquered or defeated a number < i countries. She has taken their land, their wealth and all that they hold dear and sacred. Yes, Germany has done all this and y t has won no peace. Defeat of an enemy has nov, r meint an assurance of peace I’oace cannot be won on the bat tlefie'ds. FOr peace doesn’t kill, murder, destroy nations and rapes its women. That is the work of things composed of flesh, bones and blood. And peace isn't composed of anything so plebian- It isn’t material at all; it is spiritual; them fore must take root and exist in the hearts and minds of men—oi the hearts and minds of both vic tor and vanquished. And man a lone cannot bring about such aii amiable relationship between hu mans. Who wil win the peace? Man cannot answer the ques tion without the help of God. Gqd is the author of peace- And through Him It must be obtained Thus 1t can be seen, if the Allies imiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiimillllim FUNERAL DIRECTOR WE. 2022 In all out lives there is a time when the need of helpful funeral service arises.
