heading of humerous. bet the audi

ers and a few musician® of some lev
el would have appreciated a bit more
of Washington’s talent display.
We think that Mr. Washington de
! tracts from his artistry by putting his
knee on the piano while announcing
a selection.
Intermission followed thus:
In the fourth and concluding group
came the spirituals “Motherless Child”
by Burleigh; “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”
by MacGimsey; “I Stood on De River
of Jordan” bv Burleigh; and Prices’
“My Soul’s Been Anchored In De
Lord”.
It is commonly believed that only
the Negro can sing spirituals with
effect. Mr. Briggs lived up to this
commonly accepted item and really
treated the audience in his final group
! of selections. The initial number was
very well rendered. The softness and
tenderness of “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”
affected the audience very much so.
The third selection was masterfully
done. The melodious piano part added
to the beauty of the number. It seems

soul really was anchored in be
This would have cln®"d the program
had not Mr. Briggs thrilled the mass
throng with his deep rich quality voice
floating over the Amvet’s Club, so they
j clamoured for more.
Mr. Briggs returned to do one of Mr.
Washington's own compositions “Let
L’e Break Bread Together”. This song
has a way of sneaking into your in
ward feelings and Briggs could sneak
it there.
The happy, smiling audience de
parted well pleased with having spent
an afternoon en'oyablv. Talking
with one another they expressed whole
hearted desire for a repeat perform

work and we all bid them God speed.

“FREE ENCYCLOPEDIAS COST
DOTING PARENTS PLENTY
“Your child is one of a chosen few
in this city who have been selected to

Such is the bait used to hook hun
dreds of otherwise cautious parents,
through their most vulnerable spot,
pride in their own offspring, according
to the Better Business Burear.
The Bureau reports that one of the
catch-as-catch-can publishing compan

the well-known and established pub

Easy Rides For 100,000 farmers
A Midwestern farmer, purchaser of the 100,000th hydraulic easy
ride tractor seat, trying out the seat over typical farm terrain near
the plant of the manufacturer.
I t'-S ■ . - . •' _ _ - , ■
MONROE, MICH.—“Driving a
tractor over rough, uneven farm
land no longer is the bumpy,
‘hang-on-for-dear-life’ job it used
to be. For smoothness, it’s like
driving the family sedan on Sun
day.”
This was the report of the
farmer who drove here in his
automobile from his home several
hundred miles away to take de
livery of a new hydraulic, easy
ride tractor seat at the plant of
j the Monroe Auto Equipment
| company. He was the 100,000th
buyer of this new postwar proch
uct of the country’s largest inde
pendent maker of hydraulic shock
absorbers.'
Combining the action of direct
double-iaction hydraulic shock ab
sorber, variable rate coil spring
and stabilrf r, the seat fits all
makes an. models of tractors
built since .>37. It cushions jolts
and side t ists of tractor driv
ing, and c, -ates with equal ef
ficiency wither the driver is an
80-pound or a 200-pound
farmer.
the salesman has left and the flattered
and befuddled mother has read and
grasped the meaning of the contract
she has signed, she finds she is obli
gated to pay a substantial sum. The
price may even be more than that of
one of the better standard encyclope
dias, the Bureau warns.
In this scheme, copies of the actual
books are rarely shown, and the pro
spect is shown only photographs, ac
companied by verbal slick-talk by the
salesman who subtly leads the pros
pect to envision them as just like the
ones of a well-known publisher she
has already seen in a neighbor’s house.
The full extent of her error does not
become evident until the imitation «*n
| ovc'opedia arrives by express some few
weeks leter (and after the4 salesman
lias i ' t town ). She also discovers too
late that there is nothing in the writ
ten contract to support he saleman's
oral ssu-anco of "money back’ if you
aren' satisfied.
“Read belo e v- u si^n and bews’v

Better Business Bureau stresses as the
most important safeguard acainst this

PUBLIC REACTION
SOUGHT IN METHOD OF
RAISING FUNDS
Public reaction to a nrooo<*ed plan t '
further*" reduce the number of money
raising campaigns »« sought y V it.r
Board of Governor'* of thp Omaha Com
munity Chest. Le'te^s this week were
sent to the boards of directors of its
member agencies and to a representa
tive cross section of contributors to the
annual campaign inviting these and ot
her contributors to express their opin
ions.
Traditionally, thp Chest has opera
ted on the principle to include in its
goal only operating funds which its
agencies were unable to obtain from
fees, endowments or other sources.
“No provision has been made for
depreciation or capital improvements”
Morris E. Jacobs. Chest president, said
“Now after 23 years, the Chest agen
cies have accumulated needs and are
seeking permission for supplementary
campaigns.
“While the Chest is sympathetic and
appreciates the necessity for certain
projects, it must at the same time be
concerned with the reaction on the
part of the donors and with the ulti
mate influence of these numerous cam
paigns on the total amount to be made
available for all agencies for operation
through the annual Chest drive”.
Present articles of incorporation pro
vide that no member agency may put
on a campaign, bazaar, etc., for any
purpose whatsoever without approval
of the Chest Board.
“Wisely or unwisely, the Chest board
has in some instances granted permis
sion to some agencies to put on a cam
paign for capital improvements”, Mr.
Jacobs added. The Board is therefore
confronted with the problem of allow,
ing all aeencies such permission, or
put a definite stop to all such camp
aigns and work out with the agencies
an overall solution.
“The only feasible solution of this
problem would appear to be the amen
ding of the articles in such a manner
as to provide that no member agency
can be permitted, even by the board
of governors, to put on an individual
campaign for capital expenditures. Ob
viously if such a change were made it
fould become the duty of the Chest to
assume the obligation of allocating
funds for agencies’ capital needs”.
The Community Chest was organiz
ed to unite in one annual campaign,
the appeals of accredited organizations
willing to subscribe to Chest principles.
‘The Chest board is of the opinion
that continued drives by these agencies
will sooner or later abolish the use
fulness of the Chest to its agencies”,
Mr. Jacobs said,
While authority is vested in the
Chest governors, the reaction from the
agencies and the public is sought as
a guidance before any amendment to
the present Chest constitution are un
dertaken. Obviously, it is impossible
to write all 72.000 donors to the Chest
but Mr. Jacobs has invited all contri
butors to express their ooinion by wri
ting the board at 736 World Herald
Building.

XAPT "T F~vr'» Pr E. T. Tailor,
M. P. Sr Lull's. Missouri
\ t—nog <r'~l ir, a familv recently
move'l to our town is uvshle to hea
out of one ear. The mother told me
recently that her daughter’s deafness
resulted fro man attack of scarlet fever
in childhood.
Deafness in children can often be
traced to scarlet fever. This is opp of
""•”■-1 conscaa-'s which m»v follow
the disease. Scarlet fever strikes mos'
often at children under 15 years of
ace. although adults may catch it too.
While there are not as many outbreaks
of scarlet fever to day as there were
n '-w vears ago. it is a dangerous di
sease and is easily spread from one
person to another.
I remember a time when four child
ren in a nearby rural school came down
with it. In this particular case, we saw
that the children had caught the dis
ease because thev d-ank unpasteurai
zed milk which had been handled by
a person who had scarlet fever. The
milk the children drank had become
infected with scarlet fever germs. If
the milk had been pasteurized, the
germs W'ould have been killed and the
children w'ould not have become ill.
People catch scarlet fever by coming
in contact with someone who had tiie
disease. The germs may be conveyed
from one person to another by direct
contact or by drinking unpasteurized
milk or cream handled by the infected
person.
Scarlet fever develops af'er exposure
to the gepm. The first sign is a sore
throat, which may be preceeded by a
slight chill. In a short time, the tem
perature rises. The fever may go high
as 104. 105 or even 105 degrees. With
in 48 hours a rash appears on the skin.
It is bright scarlet in color and lasts
several days. The child is usually ill
for three or four weeks and shoud be
kept in bed at least that long. He must
not be permitted to go out before the
end of six weeks.
It is important that the patient with
scarlet fever be kept away from other
people because they may catch the
disease from him. He should be put
to bed in a room by himself or sent to
a hospital which cares for people with
catching diseases.
If the child is kept home, one per
son should be responsible for taking
care of him and no one else be allow
ed in the room except the doctor. The
person caring for the patient should
wash her hands thoroughly every time
she leaves the room and before she
handles any food lest she convey the
germs to other members of the family.
Any other children in the family
should be sent away from home if pos
sible. If this cannot be done, they
should not be allowed to go near the
room where the patient is.
A doctor should be called in as soon
as the child becomes ill. He will know
what medical care the child needs and
will also advise the mother on how to
get a public health nurse to help the
mother take care of the patient.
As I have mentioned previously, one
of the dangers of scarlet fever is that
it may weaken some organ of the body
so that other illnesses follow. The most
common complication is ear trouble,
which may cause deafness. The kid
ney and the heart may also be affected
by scarlet fever. To prevent complica
tions, the scarlet fever patient should
