This crusade will continue for 100 days to the open ing of the 80th Congress, says Mrs Hayes. Among the other sponsors Mrs. Hays said, are such nationally known figures as Lena Horne; Dr. W. E. Dubois; Orson Welles: Joe Louis; Reid Robinson; Jack Kroll: Lloyd K. Garrison; and Dr. Adam Clayton Powell. Several thousands of representa-, tives from churches, unions, fra ternal organizations, professionals and prominent individuals are go ing to Washington, D. C. from all major cities of our nation, said Mrs. Hayes. City Wide Plan For Improvement “To the city, means of Transpor tation are as Vital as Arteries are to the Human Body.” This is what E. F. (Gene) Agee, General Chairman of the City-wide Improvement Plan, told planning Committee Members today as He stressed the importance of the Air ports and Riverrai 1 and River Transportation Projects in the Omaha Improvement And Develp nent program. These two projects are included in the 14 projects described as Urgent in the interest of Omaha Progress by the Planning Com mittee. Voters will be able to vote for these projects—There will be a separate ballot for each-—in the November 5 Election. Speaking in Respect to the Bond Issue of $1,250,000 Approved last oring for the purpose of building New Runways and a Terminal I Cuilding at the Municipal Airport, Mr. Agee Declared: “In the past year the Growth j and prospective Expansion in the Air Transport Field indicates defin itely that it will be necessary, if Omaha is to maintain its present prominent position, for Facilities to be provided greater than were, anticipated only a year ago. Mr. Agee said that the $15,000 Expenditure recommended in the would be used to develop the Municinal Airport to its Maximum Martha Lee Williams, “Miss Frasier Brothers Cafe” Mae Partridge, “Miss Victory Beauty Salon” I Lyda Montgomery, t(Miss Bell Telephone Elevator Girls” The Greater OMAHA GL IDE Page 3 Omaha, Nebraska, Saturday, September 28, 1946 A HUMAN RELATION COLUMN WHEREIN THE T R O U I L f • i^iz.0^”') ZTL~r2rto wbe" T,,ur mmd ■ »«itht*d down with wort ^^^5"^cVK!SB^hS ■2s -asa ssr.

B.—I am a woman of 20. have been married 2 years. 8 mon ths. and have 2 children and ex-! pecting another one. My husband stayed in the army much over a year and has been out two years. We live in a very nice house be longing to his grandparents. I bought a home while he was in the service like he told me to do but he didn't like anything a -it it so we sold it and moved back with his grandma Now I can't get him to buv another house with! the money. He would rather buy a car. I love him very much and hope to stay with him, so please tell me what to do? Ans: .Don't give up working on him to buy the home. He might be swayed if you reason with him and promise to work with him toward buying a car. .after you have the home. Appeal to his business judg ment. that the home is a good and sound financial investment, .that you can always get your money back from it.. whereas the car is an expense, and besides, this is a poor time to buy a car anyway. Don't be too bull-headed. He does mean more to you than both the home and the car, but don't give capacity and to acquire land for at least one Satellite Airport. On November 5th, voters will have the opportunity to indicate on a separate ballot their attitude toward the creation of a special commission to see that the airport development is carried ous as plan ned. This commission, appointed by the City Council, will be non partisan, non-sectional, non-sectar ian and will serve without pay. In the opinion of the planning committee Mr. Agee said, Oma's progress in the air transportation should be paralleled by the devel opment of transportation on the Missouri River. To meet this need, voters will be faced by a ballot calling for a bond issue og $250,000 to finance the construction of warehouses, un loading and loading facilities, and a small grain elevator. The proposed side to these in stallations is river frontage which 1 the citv now’ owns extendinf some 1750 feet in the area which would be bounded by Cass Street and Cuming Street if those streets should be extended to the river. Although emphasizing the im portance of these two projects. Mr Asree said that the separate bal lot plan will enable voters go to the polls as early in the day as possible. Other projects in the city-wide improvement plan to be placed be fore the voters include civic cen ter: public market: fire stations; police stations; grade crossings and viaducts: streets: boulevards; and traffic signals; parking; parks playgrounds and recreation; mun icipal garages, auditorius: naval armory and sanitation. r-n • For Fine Quality Printing CALL HA-0800 PERFECT! , — -> until you have exhausted every reasonable chance of accomplish ing your dearest wish. G. B_I am very unhappy. 1 have tried for years to get along with my sister and for all of my trying she has made me very un happv. Please tell me what is the trouble and what to do? Ans: When two strong person alities clash and both have differ ent viewpoints on everything, .se peration is the easiest solution. You love your sister and she loves you but you have nothing in common except blood. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and heals fam ily jealousies, believe me. If a change can be arranged with no hardship or bitterness resulting, you both would likely be better satisfied. Mrs. M. J. F.—My husband and I are tired of living here, wc want to leave and go up north. Do you think we will better our condition by doing so? Please reply aa soon as you can. Ans: I am a firm believer in making a change when you find yourself in a rut. Of course, you should make this change if you are both unhappy and dissatisfied with your present lot. You can't lose much. . and you have much to gain. So, go north with the deter mination to make good and be re spected citizens. Good luck to you. Calif—I have just received my 1946 Guide. True as the name im plies. I am exceedingly happy and grateful to have such a friend as you to take me into your confi dence as you have done, to enable me to have a brighter outlook on the future, to take people, life, success and my own home affairs on the whole, more seriously.

Or could it actually be HLP. Lovingly yours. I Ans: With all that love you’re I dishing out Sugar, it could be any one of these boys. The boya like your brand of syrup and they enjoy I nothing better than coming back t for ‘seconds'. They will appreciate : you more and your chance for mar ! riage will be increased considera bly if you will give out with it a j little more sparingly. O. L. C.—I am worried. Have I almost worried myself to death. I Yes, I am in love with a boy but I have to let him go. He is 15 and | I am 14. He makes me mad when he brings other girls around me. i He says I love you and always he l is going to whip me. Is that true I love with him or not? Ans: No sis it isn’t.
