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

MRS. 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. This correction is made at
her request.
A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK
Jack Walker, son of James Wal

Hts father was seen buying an ar

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. And that
suhcly was what his father was
doing the way he was putting out
money in the grocery store when
seen by a Guide reporter.

WHY NOT?
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

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

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.

make a sacrifice when we are ca'l

Not just the North and east, but I

And don’t expect just a few to car

thing as a result of the effort, so
why not ail of us make our con

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

GOD AND THE PEACE
WINNING THE PEACE
(b.v JULIUS E. 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
