HILL There isn’t much time left now for ex-servicemen to join the post and be of help to this year’s quota. The time limit is set for May the 30th, 1944 and May isn’t far off. Roosevelt Post No. 30, The Amer ican Legion, wants five hundred members, Why? Simply because there are that many and more exser vicemen in the city who could do no better than becoming members. Things aren’t going to be any too good after the close of the war. In fact there are bound to be tougher times than there were after world war No. 1. Being a member of a post makes it a lot easier for ex soldiers to get eeded assistance. Of course that shouldn’t be the only reason for an ex-soldier join ing a Legion post. There is more than that to the Legion. It has a soc ial, civic and even a national import ance as well. And even that isn't all. Religion plays a great part in its set up, thereby making it a worthy organ ization for men in all walks of life to belong to. One, (persons eligible) must be a member before he can possibly under stand and realize the expansiveness of the American Legion setup. One can’t take the information concerning it from others as being wholly auth entic. Many persons have a way of making mis-statements. So the best thing for an exservice man to do, is join the American Le * —— gion and find out first hand what it is all about. And it doesn’t cost much to do it. Here in Omaha it takes just three dollars. And with most people making good money now a-days, that can't be considered as much. Remember the date for this year's membership drive is set to end the 30th day of May. Therefore it w’ill be necessary for men wanting to join and help this year's quota, to do so at once. Run up anytime after 12 o’clock any day in the week and some one will be found who will serve you. r-- ---s WEEKLY REVIEWS __ V —BY BLACK— CONSTANTLY BEFORE YOU TH E NAACP! Every day, every hour, every min ute, this organization is at work on some case in which the rights of some American citizen is at stake. We do not mean just Negroes, but Americans. We must realize this.— Any minority group in a growing de mocracy is practically at the mercy of the ruling class. The greater the unity and understanding in any group or country, the greater is their pow er. We note in reports of some of the Vardaman-Tilman-Bilbo type of men that are in Congress a nonsensi cle tirade on the back to Africa move ment, which anyone with a grain of sense, knows full well the utter im possibility of such an accomplish ment, that is one of the many reasons why we must do our share here in O maha toward a membership in Omaha of 1,000 before the end of this year. This is an educational institution, in that in Its work it carrys on a type of instruction that if accepted and taken advantage of, must wield a beneficial influence. We are against any Uncle Tomism, we do not con done familiarity. We urge dignified actions and approach We condemn this thing of our wives, daughters, when making purchases at some stor es answering to their first names by the clerks, telling their business and in general making a nuisance of themselves. The most of them will not hire a Negro boy or girl, nor would they speak to you if they pass ed you on the street or in a car. You get more respect by respecting your self, the more we act the part of in telligent, dignified persons, the more we receive in kind. POST WAR PLAN—FEPC All of America is concerned in Post war plans. What is to become of the fighters that have left jobs of various kinds. The replacements and the readjustments. Converting war time activities to peace-times will bring very many opportunities for the FEPC to step into the breach and see justice done. It may be the curb ing of undemocratic actions. We : must get back of every effort to make this committee a permanent or ganization in our economic and indus trial struggles. All organizations of any type, prominent citizens and lay men, should contact their representa tives in Congress and urge them to support to the last ditch, the greatest and least effort to pass this law. It is very unfortunate that our gov ernment representatives should carry into government affairs, this inhuman monster which has the world divided today Time marches on, a new day is dawning. A new and better world (we hope( is being opeend up to us. We must prepare ourselves to meet the challenge and go on and up that coming generations may enjoy a bet ter, broader civilization than that thru which we have passed. * NAACP MEETING At the meeting on March 26 at the Clair Chapel Church, there was not so many, but those there were treated to a well timed and instructive speech by Mr. Raymond R.

OF TEACHERS COLLEGES Wilberforce, Ohio—President Char les K. Wesley announced this week that the Accrediting Committee of the American Association of Teach ers Colleges had recommended the placing of the College of Education | of Wilberforce University on the ac | credited list of the Association at its recent annual meeting. This action I gives increased status and national ap proval to teacher-training facilities I and certification which have already I been receiving approval from the De partment of Education of the State of Ohio. This accreditation is the second one attained by Wilberforce within a period of two years. The first was the removal in 1943 of the probationary acrreditation granted by the North Central Association of Col i leges in 1939. The approval of the American Association of Teachers Colleges is described by the recom mendation as a “full accreditment.” The concluding statements of the report of the Inspection Committee are: “The Committee left with a feel ing that a visit to Wilberforce is Worthwhile if for nothing else than to be exposed to the wholesome earn estness of the faculty and of the stu dents, too. Your Committee feels that the North Central Association acted wisely in unconditionally accred iting Wilberforce University and rec ommends the full accreditment by the American Association of Teachers Colleges.” Australia Fights COUGHS or Bronchial Irrigations Due To Colds —With Buckley's "Canadiol" Almost Instantly you get the surprise of your life — coughing spasm eases — right away it loosens up thick choking phlegm— opens up clogged bronchial tubes—makes breathing easier.
