MEMORY OF MRS. ALICE DAVIS |
The deceased was born in Nash
ville, Tenn., October 28, 1867. When
but a child, her parents moved to
Ovoca. Iowa. In 1896 she came to
Council Bluffs where she was mar
ried to Samuel Davis, deceased.
She departed this life Aug. 19, mak
ing her 77 years, 9 months and 11
days. She is survived by one dau
ghter, one adopted daughter, two
brothers, one grandson, one niece,
two nephew's and a host of friends
mourn her passing.
TO ALICE DAVIS
It has been well said: "peace hath
her victories, no less than those of
war”. Hence, not all the heroes are
found upon the battle fields. Con
tinuing this thought, not all the
truly great are to be found in high
places. In our tuest for those’:
worthy of praise and emulation, wre
often wander needlessly far afield.
Why is a worm
like a hole in a
sack? .
That’s easy. Both the worm
and the hole waste chicken
feed.
Name a good worm remedy.
That’s easy, too—Nicozine.
Here’s a product that destroys
two species of poultry worms.
These sire the large roundworm
and the cecal worm. Nicozine,
furthermore, is a flock treat
ment. It is given along with a
little feed to the flock—they
eat the mixture. Treat your
flock now with Nicozine.

when the very object of our search
is right tn our midst. Concrete
proof and evidence of this is now
before us—a valiant soldier for
Christ, who performed gloriously,
"o'er and above the call of Juty”,
Just a plain, bare recital of actual
facts connected with her life un
varnished by glamor, unbiased *b.v i
friendship or admiration, would a I
maze e' en many who thought they I
knew her, while to many others it
would be almost unbelievable.
In reviewing her life, we find it
fairly teeming with superlatives,
and the word MOST must necessar
ily occur so often as to become al
most monotonous. Thus: the most
faithful member ethel Church has
ever known; the staunchest support'
ed of The Community Center; the
foremost advocate and exponent of
economic independence, continually
urging us to stand on our own feet
and to do for ourselves rather than
to be continually seeking ad from
our Caucasian friends for our var
ious projects. More Negroes in our
community have acquired or are
now paying for homes due to her
insistent preaching of thrift than
to any other influence I know. The
most unselfish, giving lavishly of
her time, means and energy to the
unfortunate; the most tireless wor
ker; the most thrifty and the most j
efficient manager. The most pa |
tient and long-suffering, yet, when I
necessary, the most militant in de-^
fense of her convictions; the most'
perfect example of implicit trust in
the Almighty. Personally, more
than once I have sought to remon-’i
strate with her about taking on
additional charitable responsibilit ^
ies, reminding her advanced age,
her waning vitality and her redue->
ed earning capacity. And always
the same reply: “the Lord will pro
vide a way. He has never failed
me. Just put your hand in God's
hand and everything will come out
alright”. Sum it all us: the most
powerful influence for good in the
community our group has ever
known.
Last but one of the OLD GUARD
which organized Bethel Church >o
?904, she was a member for morfe
than 40 years. For more than 30
years she was Choir Director. 'For
an even longer period she was a
Stewardess. At various times she
also served as a Trustee and also as
a Class Leader. Thus, a tireless
worker in the Master’s vineyard, a
bounding in good deeds. "And
were everyone for whom she did
some loving kindness to come and
lay a wreath upon her grave, she
would slep tonight beneath a wild
erness of flowers”. Almost 2000
years ago a man looked down
through the centuries yet to come,
saw this very day and hour, and
said of her: “but now do, they rest
from their labors and their works
do follow them”. She needs no
inscribed marble slab to perpetuate
her memory—the shining example
of practical, every-day Christian liv
ing which she so gloriously exem
plified will be an imperishable mon
ument in the hearts of all who
knew her.
ALICE DAVIS, SERVANT OF
GOD, WELL DONE.

Talks To Elks
At Annual Convention
Address by Robert R. R. Brooks.
OPA Deputy Administrator for In
formation, to the Annual Conven
tion of the I. B. P. O. of Elks, of the
World at the Chris J. Perkins Aud
itorium, Philadelphia Pa., on Mon
day, August 27, 1945,
The Improved Benevolent and
Protective Order of the Elks of the
World has made an outstanding
contribution to the success of the
stabilization program.
The members of your organiza
tion have bought more than $20,
000,000 worth of war bonds. They
have not only helped to finance the
[ war. They have also stored up
purchasing power, which if it had
been spent, would have added fuel
to the fires of inflation. And that
buying power can soon be used to
buy the flood of goods which will
pour off the assembly lines as re
conversion gets into full swing.
The purchases which will be pos
sible in the future through ths use
of these savings will mean new
comfortsi new labor-saving devices

in the household, and new homes
for thousands of your members. It
means washing machines, radios,
electric lights and decent plumbing.
It will also mean jobs for workers
and farmers who are building the
homes and making the things your
money will buy.
Your organization has a vital
stake in the Nation’s continuing
struggle to hold down the cost of
living and maintain a stable econo
my.
All of your members are consum
ers who have been protected with
fair success thus far by the Na
tion’s effort to hold the cost of liv
ing. For nearly four years, the
bitterest war in history exposed us
to the greatest inflationary pressur
es this Nation has ever faced. But
your rents and the prices of your
food, clothing and household neces
sities have been held reasonably
well in line. With your help, we
must and will continue to hold that
line.
Many of your members are small
businessmen who have good reason
to fear the kind of inflationary
boom and collapse which took
place during and after the first
World War. They know that as a
result of that boom and collapse
thousands of businessmen lost not
only their businesses but their
shirts. Many of you can remember
that period. Some of you perhaps
were among those who lost their
shirts then, but have since started
all over again and have won back
your place in the business world.
All of you who are businessmen
have a stake in the success of our
common effort to hold business
costs stable not only during the
war but in the transition to full
peacetime production.
Thousands of your members,
their relatives and friends are
small farmers. Still more thous
ands are tenant farmers or share
croppers. They chop cotton in the
red clay of the Carolinas and hoe
corn in the black soil of the Delta.
The welfare of these men and wom
en is to a large extent dependent
on the prices of the things they
have to buy—the clothes, the food,
the fertilizer and the farm tools
which are charged to them during
the time they are making a crop.
Price control has helped these peo
ple hold their costs down.
Price control on the things farm
ers sell has not prevented the farm
er from greatly increasing his in
come over prewar years. But these
controls have further prevented
the kind of inflationary spiral
which at the end of the last war
led to disaster for thousands of
farmers who lived on or bought
farms at zealously high prices and
lost their livelihood on the auction
block of mortgage foreclosures.
These people, too. have a stake in
the Nation's effort to keep farm
prices and farm costs at stable lev
els during the months ahead.
Thousands ^>f your members and
their friends are worke | in factor
ies and in the service trades. As a
result of the full employment of
the last three years, more Negro
workers than ever before in our
history have had decent jobs at fair
wages. These men and women, per
haps more than any other group in
our society, have a stake in main
taining the kind of stability which
will make possible full peacetime
employment and production.
As consumers they must be pro
tected against increases in the cost
of tneir food, their clothing, their
household furnishings, and in
many cases the homes they have
dreamed of buying. As workers,
they must be protected against the
spiralling of prices and costs which
inevitably ends in business collapse,
unemployment, bread lines, and the
interracial friction and intolerance
which feed on Insecurity.
All of us, every delegate here, all
the members of your huge organiz
ation have a stake in the success of
our common national effort to pro
mote the economic stability essen
tial to a free and prosperous world
Your officers have fully recogniz
-ed their responsibility for giving
their support to this national effort
In his second official Proclama
tion for the year Dr J. Finley "Wil
son. Grand Exalted Ruler of the
Elks made the following statement
to more than 500,000 men and wom
en’s auxiliaries members of the
Order.
‘‘Price control, rent control and
rationing have saved us from in
flation and panic thus far. In the
economic scramble immediately af
ter the war, we must demand price
control and rent control in accord
ance with the principles of the Of
fice of Price Administration. We
must provide for Cost-of-Living
Committees in each lodge and tem
ple, auxiliary to the various War
Price and Rationing Boards. to
keep down our living costs. These
Committees will furnish inform
ation to members as to illegal pric
es or of unfair rationing practices”
"I know that hundreds of your
Lodges and Temples have gone a
head with this program of estab
lishing Cost-of-Living Committees
to help your Local OPA War Price
and Rationing Board in your com
munity hold down the cost of the
necessities of life.
Everyone of us must see to it
that he never pays more than ceil
ing prices or rents and that he re
ports all illegal overcharges to his
local Board or his Area Rent Of
fice In this fight every consum
er has a part. Inflation begins
with penny overcharges. A little
higher price here and another high
er price there becomes the trigger
of inflation with results that could
be as disastrous to our hope of
peacetime prosperity as the atomic
bombs were to the teeming cities of
Japan. Now that the war is over
the need for your continued effort
is greater than ever before. We
must not, at the last moment, re
lax our vigilance until we know for
sure that the danger is over.
I know we can count on all of
you to keep up the fight until the
battle is won.
The head of a large heating con
cern recently remarked to me that
the success of his company is large
ly the result of correcting other
people’s mistakes. What he meant
was that most of their business
came from homes which were ex
periencing heating trouble of one
kind or another.
A chief mistake is that of allow
ing the price rather than the ade
quacy of the furnace to determine
one’s choice. In doing so they ig
nore certain laws of heating which
must be conformed to if good re
sults are expected. There are defi
nite formulas for calculating the
capacity of a furnace in relation to
the size and type of home to be
heated, and while it does no harm
to install a furnace of over-capa
city, it does bring trouble to install
one of inadequate size. Size for
size, all furnaces run pretty much
equal in installed cost; thefefore,
when an experienced heating man
figures out the price of a correct
installation, one does not save
money by taking a smaller size
than is recommended. It just means
replacing the inadequate job later
on, which in effect is paying double
for one’s heating plant.
The heart of your home is its
furnace, and there just isn’t any
chance of having a healthy home
with an undersized heart. The only
safe way is to place the matter in
the hands of a reliable heating man
who makes the selling of the fur- i
nace secondary to the accurate de
termination of your home’s heating
needs. He will plan your heating
system as it should be for great
est efficiency, using mathematical
calculation instead of guesswork,
and when he arrives at the correct j
answer, that’s what he’ll stick to. j
And if you also stick to his fincfc- j
ings, you’ll not be making a mis- j
take that shall later have to be
corrected.
