BROTHERLY ! BEHAVIOR i = i-BY CAPT. EARLE CONOVER ' I UNITY OF SPIRIT The annual financial drive of the American Red Cross is now on. So diversified are its services and so varied are its appeals that none can possibly say that it does not serve him today, or is not ready to serve his neighbor in need tomor row.

Contributions from the four corners of the Country help to alleviate the pain and privation. That is as it should be, and no think.ng man would have it other wise. Who knows when disaster will strike next—or where? And who will turn a deaf ear to those who are suffering in mind, or body or spirit? ALL MEMBERS OF ONE BODY Probably no better illustration of this national body could be given us than that from the pen of the Apostle Paul, the great Christian missionary to the Gentiles. This great philosopher and schol ar wrote: “—the body is one and yet has many parts, and all parts of the body, many as they arc, form one body. For we have all— Jews or Greeks, slaves or free men —been baptized in one spirit to form one body, and we have all been saturated with one spirit. For the body does not consist of one part but of many. If one part suffers, all the parts share its suf ferings. If a part has honor done to it, the parts enjoy it, too.” (I Cor. 12:12-14.) THE NATIONAL BODY In like fashion there is a nation al body which is composed of many members; those fellow-Am ericans who come from groups with divergent differences of rac ial and religious backgrounds. We should add those of contrasting national and social status. Few would urge uniformity, but many would recommend a basic and nec essary unity, an oneness of plan and purpose unity of spirit. Our go vernor has proclaimed the week of March 30 as a Negro Health Week- He reminds us that the health of its Negro citizens is one of the responsibilities of a state. Said he: "We must wage an all-out fight against sickness that strikes at home and family a mong our Negro population.” The skeptic or scoffer who sees no relationship of himself with this problem might give some inquiry to the inter-relationship health and employment (affecting all of us) and education and relief rolls and tax-supported institutions. All these beyond humanness, neigh borliness, brotherhood. !

T, Daft k' Good Wiring Enhances Value of Home I And the Mortgage Deal Bankers Say To obtain the best home mortgage deal, bankers and lenders urge that you check the wiring in your architect’s plans—or if you plan to buv a home already built, check the wiring, too. They emphasize that a home with a well-designed< wiring system stays younger long er and is a better investment risk. Reason for this counsel is that electrical usage in the home is Appraisers say a home is as young as its veins—electrical wiring, that is. increasing by leaps and bounds. Wiring installed on the basis of today’s needs may be obsolete in a few years. The bankers, as well as elec trical technicians, point to homes built twenty years ago. They were | ■- ...'"•'•iiiiMiMiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiHtimitinitiiiiiiiittiimiHiiimHii >-— wired for lights chiefly, plus two or three small appliances. Today the average home has at least eleven appliances and twice the number of lamps and fixtures. The twenty-year-old homes al ready are electrically obsolete, necessitating widespread use of makeshift extension cords. In most cases the wire itself is too small to supply sufficient current for the expanded electrical loads. Result: Sluggish, inefficient and costly operation of electrical equipment Appraisers, consequently, now place wiring high on the list of factors to be checked as contrib utors to home depreciation and early obsolescence. The bankers, therefore, are placing increasing emphasis on their advice that you make certain the wiring is ade quate for present and future needs before you approve a single blueprint or sign a purchase con tract An eight-page booklet, “Check Your Wiring,” details what con stitutes an adequate wiring sys tem. A copy can be obtained by sending five cents in coin or stamps to the National Adequate Wiring Bureau, Dept. B, 155 K. 44th St, New York 17, N. Y. ' OMAHA URBAN LEAGUE I I 2213 Lake Street JAckson 7648 | by M. M. Taylor, Industrial Secretary INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT MEANING AND FUNCTION OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEPT. OF THE OMAHA URBAN LEAGUE Less than two months ago a new department was added to the Urban League of Omaha. It was the Industrial Department, having as a broad function matters of In dustrial Relations. Like the builder whose first con cern is a properly constructed foundation, the Industrial Depart ment also seeks a solid base. This base is made up of information Its component parts consist of the factual and the statistical. The base first obtains and then it keeps informed, fro mall angles, about Negroes at work, at business, in the professions, and all other par tially or totally unemployed.

It recognize: the need of a strong Industrial R< lations Committee to serve as bulwark and a support.

FUNCTION: The work of the In dustrial Department is diversified . and interesting. Interesting be cause it does not dwell with one [ line of activities but many.

The general functions i of the Department are as follows: n It will coordinate, advise and con :- fer with individuals and groups Telephone Wages ———BMH—I ■■ I ■KBhUBHBMKT 1 ■S-. Are Good No Strike Is Justified Telephone wages now are as high or higher than the general community level of wage rates for com parable work. Telephone people have had six general wage in creases since 1941, representing an average increase of over 75% in wage rates, which is considerably greater than the increase in living costs. Telephone people have good working conditions. Their work is steady and they have 6 holidays and 1 2 and 3 weeks vacations each year with pay, depend ing on the length of service. Telephone people also have sickness benefits and pensions, with all costs paid by the Company. The Company wants to be fair to its personnel but it ^lso feels that it should be fair to those who use the service and who, in the final analysis, pay the wage bill. The Union is demanding increases in wages of from $12 a week to as high as $35 a week, which would result in an average increase of $17.10 a week or an in crease of 421/a cents an hour for all employees of the Company represented by the Union. Union demands total $30,000,000 a year. This is equivalent to an average increase of $2 a month for every telephone, including extensions.
