Super Bond Salesman HIT OF THE SIXTH WAR LOAN DRIVE The hit of the Sixth War Loan Drive is destined to be the brown eyed, brown-skinned, smiling baby whose likeness graces a poster being used throughout the country by Ne gro groups. He is robust, 28-lb Charles Owens, of Baltimore, Md., born June 20, 1943. Already hanging in more than 200, 000 locations from Maryland to Cal ifornia, young Charles exudes all his personality toward the promotion of the idea of economic security thru the purchase of War Bonds as a nest egg for tomorrow. It started this day. The child's youthful parents, Jerome and Thel ma Owens, of 1513 W. Franklin St., Baltimore, brought the tot to the Provident Hospital last December 7, suffering with pneumonia.

Requests from as far as California have been received for posters. These posters are being used during the cur rent drive. According to W. Emerson Brown, treasurer and trustee of Provident Hospital, the 100 Negro employees are all buying War Bonds on the pay roll saving plan—but they miss their littel friend, Charlie. KNOW YOUR STATE TRAFFIC LAWS. Traffic accidents have a tendency to rp up as the temperature goes down. One cause of many of these accidents is that improper parking on the highway to clean off frosty wind shields. If you have to make a stop on a highway, the law requires you to get all wheels off the main traveled por tion of the highway. As an added tip, it would be well to use every pre caution possible when standing beside the car to clean the windshield or ad just the motor. You must not stop or park a car in any of the following places: Within an intersection, in front of a private or public driveway, or within fifteen feet in either direction of a fire hy drant. Watch for next week's traffic law tip, it's smart to be safe. Nebraska Safety Patrob ATLANTA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TELLS GIRL MAMMIES GONE TO WAR In an article recently in the World Herald, written by Henry Lesesne, the Atlanta Georgia Chamber of Com merce told a young white girl in her plea for Santa Claus to bring her a Negro mammy, that Uncle Sam l needs them in the war. We quote the article: Atlanta, Ga. —Dear Janet: The Atlanta Chamber of Comerce is writ ing you today, in effect, that Santa’s bag is not quite big enough this year io hold the gift you want for your family this Christmas. You sent a letter to the Chamber of Commerce some days ago, asking for a fat, old Negro mammy. If there are Negro mammies to be found anywhere in this broad land of ours today, it’s Georgia. But, as you know, there's a war on, and the old South of “Gone with the Wind” has done exactly that. Southern people—for the duration or for good—have dropped their easy ways. The Negro mammies have discard dent Hospital, Baltimore, for a pos ter being used in connection until the Sixth War Loan Campaign. ed their 'kerchiefs and calico dresses for slacks and abandoned their cook stoves for rivet guns and the like. The Chamber of Commerce has looked far and wide. There just aren t any Negro mammies available now. Southern housewives are doing their own cooking and washing and cleaning naw and they themselves would give just anything for someone even faintly resembling an old Negro mammy. Maybe next Christmas you can sut prise your family with a big, fat Ne gro mammy, or maybe even on your fourteenth birthday, if it’s a good long way off. The Chamber of Commerce is writing today, and sending the letter in your name, Janet Colleen Hood, Covina, Cal Wishing you the merriest Chrismas SAYS NEGROES SHOULD SPREAD OUT OVER LAND (continued from pi) ey on this and other jobs in that area. They were represented by the AFL. Meat and Cannery Union Local 56, of which Mr. Leon Schachter is president- Rev. David S- Burgess acted as the joint representative of the Unions in dealing with the com pany in behalf of the men who work ed at Camden this sumer. During the time I was in New’ Jersey, it was my privilege to work closely with these two men and other officers of the Meat and Cannery Union. As a result of our efforts we are now’ looking forward to working out plans for sending a large number of our members out on jobs this winter and next summer. During this con vention you will hear about plans that are being worked out in your behalf. You will also hear about the new cotton picking machine which is go ing ir.to use on the big plantations as soon as they can begin manufacturing this machine. A new- kind of farm worker is on his way in the South, as elsewhere in the nation. He is a skilled man—the tractor driver and farm machine operator. Our Union must take steps to strengthen our or ganization by uniting these skilled men together so that they may have better wages and working conditions. We have many problems confront ing us both new and in the post war world, With the new machine farm ing, -,/e are going to have more ser ious problems to face. A lot of our people, both white and Negro, are going to have to find employment in other sections of the country. In the past, many Negroes have mig-ated to the east, and the north They have congregated in the larg i cities such as New York, Chicago an'* Detroit. They have not always been as well off as they were back home in the South. The slums of the big cities are sometimes worse than the slums of the rural South. So it ap pears to me that the Negro should spread out over this land.

NEBRASKA VOTERS HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO VOTE Last month, the voters of Nebraska cast their ballots for their political choices, who, during the next few years, will decide political issues which will affect the daily life of each citizen. Between now and Christmas, the voters of Nebraska have another op portunity to vote, to take a stand for or against a sound health program. It is not a political ballot they will be casting. It is a ballot for health. Christmas Seals have been distri buted throughout the state. And each Christmas Seal Nebraskans buy stay away from the big cities- He should go to the little towns and farm areas of the East, North and the West, and make a place for him' self. In the history of all minority peo ples, it has always been that oppres sion and discrimination come when such a minority congregates in one spot- The Jewish race is an example The Jew is hated and feared when he gathers in great numbers in one place but when they are scattered out over the country, a few here and there, he is accepted. So it is with the Negro in America. It is our op inion that when a high percentage of the Negroes—in say the state of Mississippi, leave and go to other states, the ones who remain will be able to secure for themselves the four freedoms promised all races of men in the great Atlantic Charter. Here in our good state of Arkans as where I have lived for over 20 years, an amendment to the State Constitution has been adopted to block labor oragnization under a guise of Freeom to Work”. This amendment was put over by an organ ization called “Christian-Americans”. We cannot see why they have that name, as they have acted neither as good Christians or good Americans in trying to shackle the organization of the poor—the labor unions. The Southern Tenant Farmers Un ion s not going to be directly affect ed by this law at the moment—we do i-ct have any closed shop contracts. The only closed shop contracts on Arkansas farms are those held by the Arkansas Farm Bureau. Prac tii ally every tenant, sharecropper and farm worker in eastern Arkansas is lequicrd to be a member of the Farm Bureau as a condition of employment on a plantation. There are 10,000 members of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union in tas ern Arkansas who can make an af:'davit that they are forced again-t their will to hold membership in the Farm Bureau, an organization that represents only the interests of the Boss |. The Arkansas Farm Bureau furn ished the names of these members to the Christian American Committee j who circularized them, urging them | to vote for the anti-labor amendment to the State Constitution. It was no doubt due to the Farm Bureau that this .--.iti-labor law was adopted. If legislation is passed by legisla ture «md enforced against iabor un ions in Arkansas, the Southern Ten ant Farmers Lniop will insist that the law also be enforced again=t the Farm Bureau. There are now 100 affidavits on file in Washington which prove that the Farm Bureau has an involuntary check-off of mem bersh'.p dues through county agents, plantation owners, and commissaries. We will produce these affidavits and thousands more just like them at the proper time. j I can be considered as a vote for better ; health during the next year. Why? Because the money for Christmas Seals will go directly toward eradic ating tuberculosis. Each seal will affect each “Seal Sale Voter’s” life, just as each political ballot affects their lives. In a United Press story from New York, we learn that Metropolitan Life Insurance statisticians say that “reports on the trend of tuberculosis in Europe, though fragmentary, point to an appalling increase in tubercul osis. A synopsis shows: In Belgium, in Paris, Holland, Italy, and Germany itself, there has been a marked in crease in tuberculosis. In those lands, there is no such thing as a political ballot; nor is there a health ballot like the Christ mas Seal. But the United States—the land of the free the land of the right to vote both in politicis and in health—has been more fortunate. Though tuber culosis still kills more than 56,000 A mericans a year, we are able to fight the disease and are gaining ground a gainst tuberculosis. The burden of future health, the responsibility of cuting that 56,000 death rate figure lies squarely on the shoulders of each citizen. It is up to us to cast our ballots for health by buying Christmas Seals, sole support of the Nebraka Tuberculosis Asocia tion in its continuous battle against tuberculosis. When we buy Seals, we cast a bal lot for health. We are investing our trust in the Nebraska Association, whish, like our politisal rhoide, deals lonstantly with a problem which af fects our daily lives. It deals with the problem of eradicating tubercul osis . So we must cast our health ballot .NOW!.. . We mist buy Christmas Seals. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT CIO CONVENTION. Chicago (PPNS) The seventh an nual convention of the Congress of Industrial Organizations closed here this week after completing their a gcnda, which struck hard and determ inedlv at the evils of jim crowism practiced by labor organizations. Phillip Murray, CIO President, ex tended an invitation to all Negro workers to "seek affiliation with CIO organizations” to aid in the fight being waged to bring about “economic emancipation and political emancipation of the colored people”. During sessions of the convention delegates an anti-discrimination reso lutions was submitted to the conven tion and unanimously pased upon. All affiliated unions were requested to inter non-discriminatory clauses in their contracts- Following the CIOs adoption of the resolution, Murra stated in a ringing voice before ? large assembly: “We don't conf:r ourrelves to the mere adoption of ] I OURS IS AN IMPARTIAL SERVICE THAT OBSERV ES THE GOLDEN RULE SERVING AS WE WOULD BE SERVED.

There is only one thing this writer regretted is that Illinois lost to that most damnable race-hating, prejudiced, catholic in stitution, —“Notre Dame”. It is the sincere wish of this writer that the Pope, head of the catholic church will hand out a decree after the war, condemning racial, religious, preju dice in the catholic church and allow all races qeual chances to attend all cathoic institutions. Colored men are not allowed to attend Notre Dame —that why Joe Stalin will be top man after this war is over. Relig ion as practiced by the white people of the United States, England and Europe, had more to do with the world war than any other single mov ement. Being a football player is only an incident in the life of a youngster. The glamour wears off in about 3 years—it is the years that follow where the real tset begins—ninety percent of the white chums of Buddy Young will have forgotten him when his school days are over.
