Dr. Ennis again stormed the line as in years before, and snowed the kind of stuff which it too.: to make him a success in life after finishing a high school education. Dr. Ennis, after finishing Central High school, took two years of Den. tistry at the Creighton University and when he discovered he was not, going to get an opportunity to have a full chance to finish his course at Creighton as any other American citizen, for his last two years he study, he went to the Southern C niversity of California and complet ed his course He is now and has been for sometime, one of the lead ing practicing dentists in the city of Los Angeles.

Mr Lowrey found out even though Nebraska was one of the States which started unity, cooperation and the accom- ; plishing of a definite purpose in all undertakings That with the many ^ adjustments to be made in the fu_ ture. it will be necessary for the women to assist in every way pos sible There will be an important job for them to do and it must be done well because the happiness of all is at stake Many attempts may be made to close doors to the returned service man but through organized efforts this catastrophe can be prevented Mrs DeMent left Friday morning for Denver, Colorado, and while in the city, she was the house guest of Mrs Sara Walker, past president of the Nebraska Federation ) In Intervention Clause r t • -f-.v. - ip. j Naacp Sees Danger To U.
