ELECTRICAL COUNCIL TO HAVE SALES COURSE To enable the electrical industry to better serve the public, the Nebraska Iowa Electrical Council recently an nounced a basic sales training course. The training provided will fill a vital need in reawakening good salesman ship designed to completely serve the public interests and promote better public relations. The necessity of such training at this time is obfious because operation dur ing the past few years was limited to I uemaiiu uuyuig, wun a consequent loss of good sales and merchandising ha bits. All people in the electrical indu stry have been invited to participate. The subject matter is talor-made for the electrical industry and covers ba sic buying decisions and motives. Sound and discussion films used in the course were prepared by the Voca film Corporation, who, during the war j years played an important role in pre | paring visual training material for the , Navy. As a result of this broad experi , ence, the text material and films for the sales training course is based on the latest techniques for mass train ing. The course is made available for the cost of material only. Preliminary re gistrations indicate that 150 to 200 persons will be enrolled for the open ing sessions starting May 6th. To de rive maximum results from discussion, classes will be limited to twenty train ees. Separate classes for retailers, con tractors, wholesalers, and manufactur ers will be held to accomodate all peo ple. Leadership for the classes is being drawn from the best local talent. Northside Drama — By Al Sparks —— INTERVIEW 24th and Charles: Ques: “Mr. Wbachaname, do you be lieve that the FEPC legislation is workable?” Ans: “Yes, if properly handled”. Ques: “By properly handled, you mean.... ?” Ans: “Well legislation of this sort can't be handled... .say like traffic laws, for example, because it is deal ing with anotner side of human nat ure”. Ques: “Just how in your opinion, could it be worked, to be successful with the other side of human nature?” Ans: “The average human being, not including Bilbo and his likes, has no inborn desire to be unjust toward his fellowman. This same human being is -affected by customs, traditions and precedents. The FEPC offers an ave nue to by-pass the custom of race and color restrictions in employment, that are practiced more because of prece dent than genuine hate or prejudice. In addition there is the big education al task o eliminating the feeling of mutual uneasiness and unfounded dis trust whch grows out of not knowing and therefore not appreciating the good merits of the other fellow. Al says: “That is one man’s opinion. Read the May 3rd American Magazine for another man’s opinion”. * * • Say Neighbor Say Neighbor, did you notice that editorial about the Carver Loan Assn. I sort of liked it, because it brought out something I’ve been thinking but couldn’t express in words. Capital and Labor is the bulwark of present day civilization. eW have labor in abun dance, but are on the short end of capital. It takes more than a hundred thousand dollars to make a poor or dinary everyday man of leisure... .so , to be PRACTICAL... .We can well afford to encourage the investment and circulation of capital within our com munity. ... * * * And, Lawrence Lewis’ Dramatizati on of 24th St. Lawrence has been wri ting columns for the Guide since 1940. Remember the verbal battle he and “Dub Sheer” use to use; and his wTitings from India and the Burma Road? L. L. will keep you well post ed on what’s new on 24th Street. » * * And, say ladies did you notice those Easter Sketches? Quite an innovation. Never seen a woman who wasn’t in terested in beautiful clothes. Wonder why they buried the Sketches in 3 pint headlines? Ed. Note; 3 Point Al, not pint, * * * Humor Teacher: “What student was so rude as to laugh out loud.” Student: “I laughed up my sleeve, but there’s a hole at the elbow.” Red and Black * * » Welcome back Chatter-Box. You are to the young journalistic field what Che Ink Spots are to music and the Nicholas Brothers are to the stage. * * * Jitter: “You’re a marvelous dancer. Did you ever take dancing lessons?” %ig: “No, but I’ve watched many wrestling matches.” SHORT STORY 24th Street Retreat:— “We’ve known each other for only a few seconds, but we are not stran gers.. I don’t know why, nor where, but in spite of your beauty..you too, have experienced disappointment in love, the same as I”. She smiled with a mixture of sym pathy and understanding as the vari colored rays of the neons silhouetted her features against the mural back drop. “Yes. perhaps we are children of despair..of another world, living by the seconds, instead of hours; but since we are detained in this one,... well, we are bound to observe its cu stoms.” “But we are in our own world now”, he pleaded. “We might never meet again, .though our sorrows are alike; they will probably lead us to distantly separated places”. “That is perhaps even more truer than you would think”, she said as she permit ted him to caress her hand fleetingly as she prepared to take leave. You see she continued, “The War has off ered strenuous competition to my love life, irst he was in Maryland, then in Florida, then Arizona and finally, across the seven seas. But now with it all over I am going to California to meet and marry him.” * * • HATE That man Bilbo: Whose artistry in the dispensation of Race and Color, Hate has seldom been equalled. Don’t try to laff him off. The poison he uses is too potent. Dispite the undemocra tic methods used by he and his ass ociates to spread hate, their conten tions are not too often effectively chal lenged. Why can’t the fillibustering be stopped? Bilbo and his clan picks out all of the disadvantages and faults which are brought about by segrega tion and converts them into argument against legislation intended to elimin ate these disadvantages. Top that if you can. This state can contribute much to the nation by injecting a good dose of Nebraska governmental philosophy in to federal affairs. Gov. Dwight Gris wold declared Sunday. Pointing out that Nebraska has the lowest per capita state tax rate in the nation, the Governor said our state has still been able to develop such pro grams as soil conservation and weed eradication without “hiring vast num bers of governmental workers and with out running our costs up to the sky”. “Five years ago”, Griswold said, “we had 21 soil conservation districts here in Nebraska covering 2% milion acres and today we have 71 districts cover ing 30 million acres. “In 1940, we had 16 weed eradica^ tion districts covering a million and a half acres. Today, we have 50 districts covering almost 10% million acres and 6% million additional acres are now being organized. “These are important thinge for out agricultural state and we have beer able to expand them and still keep oui i percapita tax rate the lowest in the na tion”. a-:-n- ■■ .1 r BURLINGTON TRAIN WRECK anfTT u'rmm HEAVY LOSS OF LIVES ji* i uAjth (f KECK NAPERVILLE, ILL.—Terrific im pact by collision of two crack pas senger trains of the Burlington Route r/1_ stripped the roof of one of the all metal passenger cars.

FUTURE COMPLICATIONS FOR BIG FOUR NEW YORK., -Soundphoto—W’hile the Big Four conferences, in Paris face many difficult problems involving trea ties and claims and boundaries, the Turkish situation presents future com plications. In the dark areas shown are the buffer states of the Near and Middle Eeast. Here the strategic and economic interest of Russia and the western powers meet. Russia’s claims on Turkey are considered by many to be filled with possible dynamite. The Iranian troubles have already become familiar to the UN and the British interest in the affairs of Greece also have befen widely front paged. Control of the Dardaneles is a vital issue and Russia has sought to press claims on Turkey’s eastern frontier. Arrows on the map show how use of the Straits cuts 3,000 miles from the supply line to Russia. AMERICAN COUNCIL ON RACE RELATIONS CHICAGO, 111., April 20—Charges that Washington agencies responsible for the administration of the G. I.
