STORY BEHIND'MAILMAN WHO DECORATES CHRISTMAS SEALS. Omaha, Nebraska (Special) When residents of Omaha receive their 194a Christmas Seas, one thing they not iced probably was the cheery, fresh and ncvel “Everybody’s Postman” de sign. And they might have wonder ed about the significance of the draw -ing. Take it from Spence Wildey, artist of the 1944 Seal, there’s a story be hind the mailman who this year will decorate millinos of cards and pack ages during the Christmas season. Wildey, art editor of the Woman’s Home Companion, ast week told why FALSTAFFs Message of the W&ek /Ihe War Bond Drive Is still going on. And it will continue !Til the enemy’s gone. So keep on buying For all you’re worth !Til the dove announces Peace on Earth 1 THE CHOICEST PRODUCT OF THE BREWERS* ARTI Fabtaff Brewing Corp. Omaha, Neb. he selected the design, saying that he had in mind every mailman in every city, town, village and rural area of the country when he drew the chip per, modernistic letter carrier. “There was never any question but tha: a postman should be featured on the Seal,” Wildey said- He delved into the origin of the Christmas Seal to emphasize his point. ■ “A postal employee in Copenhagen first had the idea of building a more healthv community through the sale of holiday seals- It was exactly 40 years ago that his idea was carried out and the first Christmas Seals were sold in Denmark. Both in Den mark and in this country, which im ported the idea in 1907, postal em ployees have always played an impor tant part in the campaign. It was, therefore, a natural to depict a post man on the 38th anniversary seal “I wanted the Seal to represent ev erybody's favorite postman. But since everybody has a different ffltn tal picture of a postman the only sol ution to my problem was a symbilic interpretation My modernistic letter carrier is intended merely to convey the thought of a postman. He will I, hope make everyone think of that nice guy who comes to his house with mail-” Wildey grew up in Ntley, N. J. At one time, he thought he wanted to be a lawyer, but after two years at law school, he realized that he was getting a bigger kick out of sketching his professors than from law- So he dropped law and; concentrated on art. After studying at the Art Students League and the Grand Central Art in New Cork, he obtained a job as sports rartoonist on the Nutley Sun Later, he drew cartoons for the Star Eagle and the Sunday Call in New ark, N. J Industrial design next attracted Wildey and he went in for stylizing all types of products. At his home in Scarsdale, N- J., he has put to prac tical use many of his ideas about modern design yy streamlining kit chen cabinets, sinks, and even the furnace. A short time ago, in col laboration with the staff of Leather neck, he redesigned the magazine of j A Good Place to Eat i| j!

By the same token, they have invariably re jected bad state policy and bad government. It was characteristic of the wisdom and watchfulness of Nebraskans that they over whelmingly rejected the recent Prohibition proposal. The voters looked upon Prohibition as bad government. The Committee is well aware that this election was no triumph for the so-called wets. ’ It was a victory for good government. Many of the most active workers against the return of Prohibi tion were themselves total abstainers. The result was a victory for the traditional common sense and practical judgment of our people ... a victory all Nebraskans can be proud of.

BY RUTH TAYLOR Why do I talk so much about bro therhood- A good many people have asked me, making all sorts of suggestions as to why I take the line I do Most of them make the mistake of thinking I talk about tolerance. I don’t. I loathe the word- To say “I tolerate” is to say “I put with you”—which to my mind is almost as bad as active dislike. It is so un pleasantly patronizing. I talk about brotherhood and neigh borliness and undersatnding for pure ly selfish reasons- I happen to be lieve in America. I reckon that by ancestry I am as completely a hund red percent American as any one without Indian blood can be- I be lieve in the American way of life I believe in democratic government and the rule of the people by the peo ple. I believe in Lincoln’s great line —no nation can exist half slave and half free. Since I believe this, I feel that in tolerance, prejudice, hatred because of race, creed or color, discriminat ion or special privileges—either for or against any group—are denials of the things to which I owe allegiance and are termites gnawing at the pil lars of our national house. I may be an idealist but I hold that ideaism is part of the American picture. As Walter Lippmann said once—“Let us remember when we talk of realism and of being realis tic, that hope may be as realistic as fear, faith as realistic as doubt, and that George Washington who endur ed the bitter winter at Valley Forge was the same hardheaded man who at Philadelphia presided over the formation of the Union.” I believe that unless we put into practical application the ideal that is America we cannot spread the ideals of the Four Freedoms abroad. Like the Communist—old style—I do not believe the way of! life which I want is safe unless it is safe everywhere. The world is too small for differing ideologies. No man can be free un less all men are free I do not feel that I have to pick my friends or my enemies by groups. I do not feel that I have to open my home to anyone whom I do not wish to receive—but I do feel that my neighbor is entitled to the same priv ileges that I enjoy—and that the best way to get along with him is by the strict application of the Golden Rule. I feel that the persecution of any A inerican of any race, creed or color is my affair because it threatens my life and the existence of the democ racy which has given me, my parents my grand parents, my great grand parents, my great great grand parents and my great great great grand par ents, etc., so much. That is why I preach brotherhood. That is why I will continue to bear witness for my faith. A HOPE SIGN IN RACE RELATIONS. Lester B. Granger, writing in the current issue of Survey Graphic, ex presses apprehension over the poss ibility that the creation of “interrac ial committees” may lull too many A merican communities into a false sense of security. While the mere existence of more than one hundred rcee.itly formed interracial commit tees or commissions indicates “a new and repressive concern” on the part of the American public, community leadership is still fumbling with var ious tecsniques in a new and compar atively untried field of efforts. Thirty-three of these groups have been appointed either by mayors or governors, while the others have or ganized voluntarily- According to Srnager, many of these committees have been powerless to take any pos itive action, largely because they have been without legislative status, and have han no funds with which to operate. Almost as serious is the fact that while such groups are deep ly interested in community problems, they have neither the time nor the resources with which to do an effec tive job. New York City’s Committee on Unity, while it is capably staffed, has produced after more t han six mbonths “no published program or findings or visible signs of commit tee activity.” This is true in spite of anti-semitic outbreaks, a new and glaring evidence of discrimination in employment, and gang wars between white and Negro youths.

BUY AT LEAST ONE EXTRA TOO BOND' Good Will” was conspicuously inop erative during the recent railway strike over employment of Negro trolley operators.” This committee had indicated several months ago that it had “no budget or staff, and no plan for action in case of ‘incidents’-’ During the strike in Philadelphia, leadership quickly passed from the Mayor’s Committee to a number of voluntary groups already oragnized for action. In several states, the formation of unofficial interracial commissions amounts to little more than a gesture, for they are not given legislative standing, and have neither the funds nor the trained personnel needed to tackle many difficult prob lems. The voluntary committees show greater promise of success, largely because they are “least inhibited by official red tape and free to engage in experiment.” But there is always the danger that such groups, in an excess of enthusiasm, may in the long tun add to already existing con fusion. The American community is justified in its alarm over increasing racial tension, but to date we have developed no large-scale, organized procedures for measurably reducing this tension.
