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.

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

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

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,

As a result of our efforts we are

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

men together so that they may have
better wages and working conditions.
We have many problems confront

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

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

their contracts- Following the CIOs
