OUR GUEST Column Kditf-A by Vmrmm P. Harris A LITTLE MORE THAN TALK By Lucille Kohn, chairman, American Labor Education Service American Labor Education Ser vice would scarcely fulfill the func tions suggested by its name were it not deeply concerned with pro blems of race discrimination. In every activity in which it is en gaged some situation arises invol ving minority groups, but in addi tion to a general interest ALES has undertaken a number of very specific projects on educational techniques for combating race dis crimination The most intensive work yet done has been in New Jersey. Here Mrs. Marie Algor is in charge of a project for ALES in which, co operating with the CIO of New Jersey, she has worked out some interesting new techniques. With the unions as basis of her activi ties she has collaborated with every community agency which lias i Tljlayed some interest in protecting the rights of minority groups, \Her program continues along the lines in which she ori ginally started, with special em phasis on publicizing FEPC and on introducing as much anti-dis crimination literature into union halls as the traffic will bear. Long Time results of such a campaign are indeed hard to evaluate, but certain specific things have hap pened in the course of the two years of Mrs. Algor's work. She lists as some of the rositi ves of the experiment a quicken ing of the formation of union move menLs of committees to fun-tion on minority problems, increase of representation of minority groups on such ccommittees. a greater use of materials available, and a trend to Incorporate the work carried on through our special New Jersey project into permanent agencies in the community. Perhaps the most noteworthy achievement up to date has been the success in arousing minority group members to their responsibility for active participation in all union work. From a series of conferences which we have sponsored in New Jersey and elsewhere has stem med a pamphlet, our most recent publication, entitled. "Overcoming Prejudice". It was written by The resa Wolfson, professor of econo BOWEN Appliance Co.

All this is only a prelude to a much larger program ALES is ' nning As the techniques for un der standing and overcoming race prejudice becomes more highly de veloped, as the media for setting up an anti-discrimination program ntrade unions gain greater clarity there rests a great obligation to extend these techniques and these media. Labor Education Service is ready to accept the challenge of the hour and to set up where-, ver possible a real conferences and more localized projects. As one of the pionerring agencies in the field of workers education, ALES is also in the forefront in the real educational wave of the future, the intercultural effort to iron out the discrimination of white against Ne gro, Christian against Jew and r»r>nt 's most unfortunate, of one minority group against another. TYu workers education, the spear head of democratic trade unionism can set. itself no higher task than this one. HEALTH? BEAUTY, & SUCCESS BY CHRISTINE ALTHOUSE Althouse Beauty School “Keep Young and Beautiful” FALLING HAIR & DANDRUFF There are many causes for fall ing hair, but I think we are safe in saying that dandruff is one of the most common causes. Just what is dandruff? This morning a customer came into the school and refused to al low the dandruff to be lifted. She insisted that she had had dandruff all her lift, and that the scales we found on her scalp were good for the hair and caused it to grow. Is there a growing dandruff? We study dandruff in a scienti fic way and we find it to be an abnormal growth and shedding of horny cells of the epidermis, an excessive discharge of selbum from the sebaceous, (oil) gland. We may compare the growth of the hair with the growth of ve getation. We know that everything in nature grows from the inside out. Whenever soil will not pro duce weeds, that soil will not pro duce the best form of vegetation. The same is true of the scalp. Whenever we find a head of hair with no form or sign of dandruff, we usually find a tight drawn shin ny scalp, with little or no hair. Just what is this? We know that to have a beautiful abundant head of hair, the papilla erector mus cles and also the sebaceous glands must be functioning properly. When the oil from the sebaceous glands reaches the air it forms flaky scales. These flaky scales are found on the most healthy thick head of hair, even on the scalps of babies. If there is a growing dandruff this must be it. But when there is an excessive flow of oil and when the dandruff is allowed to remain on the scalp as a prey to dirt, germs and more oil, the scalp be comes mildy infected, the hair be gins to fall and we have the se cond or destructive form of dand ruff.

WHERE IS THE NEGRO’S PLACa.? e’ve got to put the n ui ms p»aeei” are tne words that have echoed and re-echoed Uiiu_u_u-i u»e Aouthlanu since the war. A trail of brutu^ _^..uouiigs, lynch ings and mob ride can be traced U.i<j. ,.11 Georgia, Soutu Car olina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, in an attempt to put him in his place. The 64-doliar question seems to be, wuere is the Negro’s place? That is the crux of the situation. There is a certain element who seems to insist that the Negro’s place is that of a second-class citizen, with no rights to vote, work in decent jobs, or hold his head up like the rest of the American citiz ens. According to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Uni ted Nations Charter, and the war we have just fought, there is only one kind of citizen in these United States—an Amer ican citizen, entitled to all the benefits, privileges, and pro tections this country offers. c Duirng the war, the Negro accepted his fuJ share of r. sopnsibility as a citizen of these United States. He pa.d L. fair share of taxes, fought, bled and died in the armed fore es. worked and sweated in the mines and war plants, saer. ficed to buy bonds and did all in his power to keep Old Gioi_ flying high. He had faith in his country. The current wave of mob rule isn’t very inspiring to cit. ens of color here or elsewhere in the world to sacrifice u: j aid their country. It is time for the federal governm n step in and show a firm hand with these lawless coimrnr*. | ies where crimes against citizens are allowd to go unp n ed. Where is the Negro’s place? At the end of a rope, bu let-ridden in a grave, bruised and beaten on the side of road, shivering and shaking in terror, hiding in a swi: groping in darkness, cowed and submissive? No, that is n< the place of any American citizen. The Negro’s place is at the side of the white citizen who believes in democracy, fair play, equality of opportunity and a better way of life. Those who oppose this doctrine have no place in America and should be firmly dealt with befor they put this country in a condition of anarchy. How can this ge done? It must be admitted that unr the present set-up it is difficult. Therefore new legislate: ! is indicated. Attorney General Tom C. Clark announced ! last week that he would ask for new legislation when Con-1 gress convened, in order to protect every citizen from tin furies of racial and other hatreds. He stated that in most of j the aforementioned cases, Federal action hangs upon a very i thin thread of law. It is like trying to fight a modem a- j tomic war with a Civil War musket. So, if state and federal governments, under existing legis lation, are unable to prevent further mob violence for God's sake let us have more and stronger legislation protecting our citizens.—Detroit Tribune. T5he STREET [ and thereabouts j -by LAWRENCE P. LEWIS-' BACK TO SCHOOL I Every year at this time weary mothers let go with a sigh of re lief as their children hurriedly and happily scamper off to school. The gay, bright colors that they wear this time of year adds to the spl endor of the occasion. Building men and women for the next generation is the school’s big gest job. In those thousands of happy, eager youngsters we will soon be able to sit back and let them take over the steering wheel. OMAHA has good schools and good school administration. Free and democratic schools are the bulwark of democracy in America. BABY CONTEST All of the young ladies that are entered in the contest for the Mid City Queen are causing quite a commotion on Our Street. Some of the voters are having a very hard time to decide who to vote for. After giving them the once over myself, I find that it is pretty difficult, but of course it is im possible for any of them to win unless they have votes, so I guess I’ll just close my eyes and punch at the names with a pencil, and the name closest will get my vote. Because of the limited capacity of the frail only a certain amount o* tickets can be sold. So Buy your ticket early and be assured tha* vou can attend the crowning of the Mid-City Sepia Queen. My dearest and most prized cri fic is my wife. There have been too many men around her. tellintr her she should enter this Beauty and Popularity Contest. So I have even lost my bect critic until the queen is chosen. Never have I seen her so worried about her appear ance. She combs her hair this wav and that way. Looks at herself from the front and from the side. I say something to her and she seems to be dreaming. The other day I asked her. ' Honey, how did you like the finish of my last co lumn?” She keot combing her hair and smiled into the mirror at herself. “Pauline”, I said more sternly, “How did you like the column this week?” Dabbing herself with perfume, turning to look at herself from the side, and pushing and patting her hair again, she said “I think I will have my hair dyed”. I gave up after that. I spied my little daughter Judy, looking at the paper, and I thought she was looking at my picture. I smiled to myself and asked her, “What are you looking at Judy?”. I just knew she was going to say that she was looking at niy pic Eczema Itching, -Burning-Distress Gets Quick Ease and Comfort Get a bottle of stainless powerful 1 penetrating: Moone's Emerald Oil' , The very first application should edvo I you comforting relief and a few short 1 treatments convince you that you have at last found the way to over- i come the intense itching and dis- I tress.

Judy just laughed and point ed at a picture in the {.aper ar.d asked. “Tsn”t that Margaret in t’.c corner?” She dashed hurriedly to her mo ther and cried out, “Mama. Mama Margaret’s in the paper, Margar et's in the paper”. If all of the sudden this column doesn't appear anymore you will know that this beauty contest has given yours truly a nervous break down. Beauty, beauty, popularity, popularity is all I am able to hear. In all sincerity I have had the time of my liSe. I have talked to some of our most beautiful girls. All of them have more than their share of personality and are very popular. I truly wish that I could vote for them all but that being impossible, I’ll wish all of them the best of luck, because all of them could rightfully be called the queen. I am looking forward to the dance and the crowning of the queen at the AMVET’s club, Sept. 30. Many new faces will be seen. It should be a good night to get acquainted with old friends, and to make new ones. There will be many a lady there not entered in the Beauty Contest who will be dressed in their finest, trying to outshine the beauty queen, and many of them will give the queen a run for her money, believe me. Just to sit and admire the hun dreds of lovely ladies that will at tend will be worth the admission alone. My bones being on the crea ky side, that is about all I can do, unless I find a partner with bones as creaky as mine. After a few drinks of that fire water, they tell me that your bones don’t feel creaky anymore. They must be kidding, because Creaky , Dones are creaky bones, and fire water surely can’t remedy what lils me. But I am not one who will lot try. at least one time. I don’t jelieve I have completely recover ed from the last time I took fire vater for my cold. I still have the :old. My friend who recommended he stuff was wrong again. With all of those gorgeous lad es parading around I don’t think 'll need any of (he stuff anyway. may have to sit the dances out »ut mv eyes will be looking at nost of the lovliest ladies in Om ha. What more can a man ask ut of life? I’ll see you there.
