Mays’ 21 fatalities brought the
year’s total to 103 an increase of
51 percent over last years’ 68.
The apparent causes of deaths
which occurred in May were spee'J
careless driving, and right-of-way
violations.
Therefore, Captain Sanders re
ported, it may be brought to the
attention of the public that they
j must take an active part, not only
j as groups but as individuals, to
cut down this needless wave of
slaughter on Nebraska streets
and highways.
SIMPLICITY IS NOT BREVITY

by Ruth Taylor
One day I was sitting in on a
conference to plan out a most im
portant booklet. It had been de
cided that the best thing to do was
to make the text as simple as pos
sible, so one person started to
blue pencil the text and cut out
all superfluous phrases. There
was an expert present, but he
kept silent until the discussion as
what to omit was going strong.
Then he said in an objective sort
of drawl. “You know simplicity
is not brevity.”
The more you think about that
line—the more it strikes you.
Simplicity in writing is not in
cutting down—it is in stating
clearly exactly what you are try
ing to say. Simplicity in dress isn’t
in brevity—it is in not having any

saying it in the most lucid pos
sible language and in sticking to
the subject.
Simplicity in living is just the
same. It is not so much in omit
ting things from life, but in doing
the things that are real. In con
centrating on the worthwhile, not
the tawdry, in living WITH a pur
pose and BY a principle.
The men and women who ob
serve that kind of simplicity are
the ones who get things done. Be
cause their minds are uncluttered
by non-essentials, they are able to
think a problem through and then
find the solution. They are the
people who have time to be kind.
Out of the ordered neatness of
their days, they have saved hours
in whch to help others. The big
gest men I know are the ones who
have time to listen. It’s the little
people who are “too busy.’’
Simplicity is a gift within the
reach of any one. It is possible
to so order your Ives that you will
have time to include all things
you want to do. Just do the most
important thing first. Once you
do this all the rest falls into line.
You are not haunted by the things
you have left undone. The unim
portant things disappear of their
own accord. You are always up
to date. It's a simple rule of liv
ing—and it really works. Why
not try it?

BAD USE OF A GOOD WORD
Latest reports of un-American
activities show that one method
subversive groups employ is to
lay claim to a respectable word—
in the name of which they mali
ciously contrive to undermine Am
erican democratic principles.
The Nazis, of course, used a
number of such words—among
them, strangely enough, the words
‘positive Christianity’. The people
were taught that they were fight
ing for the things represented by
these words. They were taught
that they were fighting for civil
ization, for the Fatherland, for
Christianity. But, the upshot was
that people were persecuted—
londemned to lives of misery in
concentration camps—murdered.
Priests were stoned. Religious
schools were closed and the right
to educate children was taken
from parents and from the Church
Democracy was destroyed, men
deraded, and brutal dictatorship
established.
In America there are those who
even after the war is over, follow
this pattern, They too, have seiz
ed upon and claimed a good word
in whose name they attack demo
cracy and the rights of American
citizens. They have seized upon
the word Christian. In the name of
Christianity, whose aim is to cre
ate a brotherhood of sill men, they
spread race hatred. In the name
of Christianity, which proclaims

peace among men, they stir up
discord between Christians and
Jews. In the name of Christianity
which is identified with truth,
they deal in falsehoods, many of
which they have taken whole

mies of Christianity.
All of this is done in the name
of Christianity whose purpose is
to reconcile man to God and man
to man. To proclaim hatred in the
name of hatred is bad enough. But
to preach hatred in the name of
Jesus Christ is blasphemy. In
short, this generation, which has
seen hatred all but destroy civil
ization in Europe, is also seeing
the same kind of hatred attempt
the same thing in America—in
the name of a good and noble
word, in the name of Christianity.
This is the totalitarian way of
covering bestiality with the cloak
of religion.
And against it true Christians

HORTON ATTEND KING
COLE PARTY
NEW YORK CITY—(Calvin’s
News Service)—What was termed
as an all out affair to officially
welcome Nat King Cole and his
trio to New York was given at
the Hotel Savoy-Plaza this week
in their beautiful Mandarin Suite.
The occasion won its importance
for two reasons. Firstly, Negroes
have never given an affair at the
Savoy-Plaza. Secondly, never has
there been such an array of all
classes of people together to pay
tribute to any one musical group.
Among the stars and celebrities
who greeted Nat Cole and the
boys were Walter Winchell, famed
newspaper columnist, Mr. and Mrs
Noble Sissle, Richmond Barthe,
Mr. and Mrs. Andy Kirk, Harold
and Fayard Nicholas, Mrs. Ers
kine Hawkins, Anne Brown, Rex
Ingraham and Maurice Rocco.
Just in from California on the
Constellation, Edward Everette
Horton arrived in time to meet
the Trio. He joins the Kraft Mu
sic Hall air show this week on
which the King Cole Trio are ap
pearing for the summer.
The most dramatic moment of
the party was when Eddie Duchin
star of the Kraft show, made a
simple and genuine toast to the
Trio at which time the 200 guests
drank champagne.
The cocktail reception was de
finitely unique. There were pro
ducers, actors, singers, artists,
lawyers, doctors, radio executives,
booking agents, cafe owners, band
leaders, television men, disc Jock

SEPIA PLAYERS SCORE
DRAMATIC SUCCESS
By H. J. Pinkett
The SEPIA PLAYERS, Friday
and Saturday nights of last week
presented ‘THE WHOLE TOWN’S
TALKING’ the first in a series of
plays, to be presented; at the Ur
ban League.
The play was a fine comedy of
love and humor and emotions
which they inspire.
The play was in three acts; the
scene, the living room in the home
of Henry and Harriet Simmons
and their daughter Ethel. Court
was paid to the daughter by two
admirers, one a 'man of the world
and the other a country lad ol
homely virtues.
Willa Gordon who played the
stellar role of Mrs. Harriet Sim
mons, portrayed the charactei
with splendid artistry, worthy ol
the truly excellent actresses ol
the American stage. Lawrence
the country boy who loved his
Ethel, performed like a veterar
of the stage. And Geneva Burnej
who played the role of Ethel Sim
mons, the daughter and the sought
was as charming and pure as i
maiden could be. Edward Crooms
as Henry Simmons, was a verj
good “old man” who was alway:
getting into trouble with his verj
clever wife. Robert Myers as Don
aid Swift, the “man of the world”
; enacted his role superbly, but los
in the race of love for the favoj
of Ethel. And Wave Madison as
Letty Lythe, almost ruined Chest
er Binney’s affair writh Ethel
Harvey Carter, as Roger Shields
Lottie Wright as Lila Wilson, Do
ris Newland as Sally Otis, Ger
aldine McKim as Annie the Maid
Jennie Robinson as Sadie Bloon
and Harold Whiteside, the Tax
Driver, played well their parts.
Nearly 50 years ago, Fred F
Schrader, the Dramatic Critic o
the Washington Post remarkee
that “the colored race is our great
est resovoir of dramatic talen
and if afforded opportunity, wil
become the leaders in dramatic
art”.
The excellent acting Friday anc
Saturday night by THE SEPI.A
PLAYERS, vindicated that pro
phesy. In spite of difficulties, the
production staff did an essentia!
job most capably. Lee Aitchisor
directed the play.
