Her “good neighbor" policy is simple, friendly,
workable—she uses her party line telephone in the consid* j
•rate way that neighbors recognize : ; . and appreciate;
She listens to see whether the line is in use before plac
ing a call—and hangs up quietly if it is. She watches the :
length of her calls, allows time between them for others to
... *
use the line.
No wonder her friends would vote her the ideal party
rUne neighbor. No wonder, either, that they show her the
same telephone courtesy.

that dropped him for no count.
Doughnuts and punch wras served
for refreshments and everyone left

enjoyable evening.
Mrs. Ada Nicholson, Mrs. Erma
Lee Crooms and Mrs. E- N- Carter

58 Localities
353,000 Inhabitants
Back in 1917, when the Nebraska Power Company first
started to do business, the organization served two communi
ties — Omaha and Council Bluffs.
Today, the Nebraska Power Company serves 58 localities
with a population aggregating more than 353,000 persons,
including 63,449 residents on the Company’s rural and
suburban lines.
There is no better evidence than this constant growth, that
the Nebraska Power Company’s own motto, "Courtesy —
Service — Low Rates” is more than just a slogan. Because
Nebraska Power has always put this motto into action, its
customers like the way the Company conducts its business.
Nebraska Power’s private business management, and its many
employees, are fully aware that with growth comes an obli
gation — the obligation to continue good service at low
rates.
In the future, as in the past, the people of this territory know
they can depend on Nebraska Power for good service at the
same low rates.

primarily for the purpose of accom
modating employees in a building
housing offices of the FEPC and
other Federal agencies, Mrs. Way
was charged with consistent refusal
not only to serve Negroes, but all
white persons in their company. It
was further charged that all attempts
by Government officials and private
persons to discourage such practices
on the part of the lessee had failed.
Pointing to this and the countenance
of such proceedure on the part of
Standard Oil, Walter White said in
his letter to the company: “The Na
tional Assocaition for the Advance
ment of Colored People hereby mak
es the most vigorous protest against
the existing situation and calls upon
the Standard Oil Company either to
refuse to renew the lease of Mrs
Way or to lease the canteen under
terms which will assure service with
out discrimination. Negroes who are
patrons and customers of the Stand
ard Oil Company throughout the
country insist that the Standard Oil
Company thus make manifest its own
, attitude toward them. The issue is
a large one. Hundreds of thousands
of present and potential customers of
the Company will be influenced by
its actoin in this case-”
