BROTHERLY BEHAVIOR -BY—— CAPT. EARLE CONOVER THE PASSOVER SEASON How nice it is that all three of America's major religious faiths have their sacred seasons at this time of the year. Paralleling the end of the Len ten period, with its Good Friday and Easter observances for Cath olics and Protests, is the Passover period for our neighbors of the Jewish faith. One is reminded that the Jewish Hannukah ’‘Fest ival of Lights” comes at the Christian, Christmas season.

TIME OF THANKSGIVING Of the original motifs, the cele bration of the fertility of thi flocks and of the budding barley from the grateful hearts of thosi early shepherds and farmers, a: well as that of the paschal laml of the Passover itself, only thi last named motif has survived In general the very same cerem onies are observed now as ancien iy Deliverance and freedom forn the central theme of Passover with gratitude and increase! faith as its cause and its effect The Christian friends might re fresh their memories by readinj chapters 12 to 14 of the Book o Exodus, common to both faiths. • ■•A. gbutn The Seder (pronounced sayder' is the observance in the privati homes, consisting of instructioi about the institution, songs ant prayers, and the eating of unleav ened bread- (Compare Luke 22' Acts 12:3; 20:3).

Not onlv did our enemies rise up against us in Egypt, but in every generation enemies rise up against us— and God delivers us from their hands.

Taylor, Industrial Secretary INDUSTRIAL Making good use of community resources is both an intelligent and sound practice. Very few if any, citizens and or non-citiz ens can go very far very long without need of contact with one or more of the numerous servic . es or activity available to them. . To use a community resource does ■ not indicate a deficiency, it does ; indicate a desire for self suffic iency. It is another way of ad 1 ding to ones competence. A case work agency is one of many com munity resources but which most folk may never need, but does it follow, however, that they will s never need the library, the YWC , A. a public golf course or an em s ployment agency? They are a i few among many other commun i ity resources. There are comm ( unity resources for us regardless . of our station in the community; ■ for they furnish us either a need, a fulfillment, a compensation or a growth. t , EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES * In this article reference will be • made to a resource of which a - rather large segment of our pop [ ulation must of necessity utilize ■ from time to time. This resource is Employment Service Agencies. The United States Employment Service is one of several servic : es for the American people in the i Labor Dpartmnt of our National 1 Govrnment. The United States . Department of Labor was created ’ by Congress in 1913 to foster, promote and develop the welfare 1 of the wage earners of the Unit . ed States, to. improve their work ■ ing conditions and to advance i their opportunities for profitable employment. In these Labor De partment Services are many man -dates and primary functions one of which we have a special inter est in this article. Perhaps it is of value to know these services in the Labor Department and is re sponsible for administering Services of the Labor Depart ment are: The Secretary of La bor, Apprentice Training Service Division of Labor Standards, Uni ted States Employment Service, Wage and Hour and Public Con tracts Division. National laws administratered by the Labor De partment are: Apprenticeship Act, Bacon-Davis Act (prevail ing Wage law), G.I. Bill of Rights Social Security Act, Wage and Hour Law, Wagner-Peyser Act, Walsh-Healey Public Contract Act, and the War Labor Disputes Act. On June 6, 1933, the Congress of the United States passed a law, the Wagner-Peyser Act, which provided the United States Em ployment Service and placed it in the United States Department of Labor for its administration. Its primary function was to main tain a nation-wide system of fre employment offices for employ ment service to the public on a Federal and dlate cooperate vt basis. This employment service was handed over to the Social Se curity Board in 1939 by an Exe cutive Order, but in January 1942 the States handed all public em_ plojment cilices to the Federal Government and eight monuij la ter the same year .vhe United States Employment Service be came an operation of the War Manpower Commission that had recently been created. Then, in September 1945, the United Stal es Employment Service was tran3 ferred again to the Labor Depart ment by an Executive Order A fw months ago, the United States Employment Service, by nn Appropriation Act, was handed back to the States. Federal funds are available to the State Em ployment Services if they meet minimum standards that are est ablished by the Secretary of La bor. The State Services have these basic functions: 1. Placing the job applicant with qualific ations of the job requirement- The work who registered is supposed to have access to all jobs that are listed both those that are local and those in other States. 2. Vet erans are entitled to special ser vices. His dtvision is staffed by veterans with special emphasis on the disabled veteran. 3. The job seeker may request and get em ployment counseling and guid ance. This will assist, them in choosing an occupation and plann ing a vocation. Those who need this service most are young work ers who have no particular work experience, handtcapped people and older workers who desire to work but have no particular vo cation and who find it rather dif ficult to get placed. The veter ans naturally can get this serv ice in their division of the Em ployment Office and it is avail able to them also in the Veterans Administration District Office which is located in the Federal Building in Omaha. 4. The Em ployment Office cooperates with community groups especially in community programs which deal with employment problems. Busi ness people and management are especially interested in two other phases of services, such as analy sis of current employment tnform ation which will show the trends in labor supply and demand and industrial services which help employmers with their personnel practices with regard to selection and placement of workers. Urban Lague affiliates, located in 56 cities throughout the nation, matntains a cooperative and work ing relationship with the public employment services and the La bor Department in Washington This cooperation and fine relation ship produces a decided benefit to the community people. The Em ployment Service proper and the veterans division are concerned about Negro workers.

URBAN LEAGUE! CONDUCT SEVEN MINUTE TALK ON NAT'L NEGRO HEALTH WEEK OVER KOWH As part of the Omaha Urban League’s observance program of National Negro Health Week, Dr. Wesley Jones physician and sur geon and M. Leo Bohanon, Exe cutive Secretary Omaha Urban League, gave a seven minute broadcast over station KOWH last Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Bohanon explained the back ground and need for National Negro Health Week and discuss ed the relationship of Negro health to the Negro’s economic status. Dr Jones described how the health of The Negro like other groups had been improved thru Health Ednucation Programs; how the Negro did not differ with other groups in his health prob lems and how the Negroes’ sus ceptibility to certain diseases was due in the main to the fact the Negro was a comparitively new host and had not built up a resistance to these diseases as the white groups had. As an ex ample Dr. Jones quoted Dr. Thomas Parran, Surgeon Gener al of the United States who writ es in his book “Shadowland” the following on syphillis, “Syphillis is the White Man’s disease. The brown, the yellow and the black races seem to have been infected with it only after the visit of the white explorers to their native lands.

LAKE SHOE SERVICE Note Is The Time To Get Your Shoes Rebuilt! Quality Material & Guaranteed Quality Work 2407 Lake Street hj. H.—I have fallen in love with ■ a married man and he is very dear | to me. He gives me practically 1 everything I need. When I first met him it was three months be fore I knew that he was married and I thought it was too late to quit then because I had fallen so in love with him. Please advise me if I should go on with him or not. I am 13 years old. Ans: Child, the minute you found out this man was married and leading you on, you should have quit. It is not too late yet. Although he may be kind and give you things you want, he knows that you are only a child and that 1 what he is doing is sinful and a i gainst the law. When not in school i studying, you should be spending : your play time with other young i people your own age. There is . nothing in the world for you to : gain from any fellowship with this married man—but, he can harm . you in many ways. o o o Y. A.—Shortly after our marr iage my husband went into the ser vice. When my allotment checks started coming in, I begun to get the house fixed up and by the time he returned, the place was cozy and nice. I can see a great change in him and we don’t get a long at all. I have in mind to ask him to leave as I feel that if eith er of us have to leave, it should be him and not me. It Was his house when we married, but I have done a lot of work on it. Do you think I am right in asking him to leave as I feel sure we will not be able to get along. Ans: Two and a half years is a long time in the span of life. Nat urally your husband changed. you have too. You were married for such a short time before he went overseas..you had hardly time to get acquainted. You are i both going through a period of re I adjustment and you must be pa I tient and understanding. It is up to you to help him in his efforts to get back to a normal life. This is certainly no time to ask him to eave his own home- It is true that you did a lot of work around the home but while you were doing this, he was making a greater sac rifice.and remember it was his monthly allotment that furnished the money for the improvements. You folks can get along if you bury the hatchet and pull together as married couples should. o o o | You have been so much help to me but it has been several years since I wrote you. At that time I was leaving my home town for Chi -cago to get a job. I got the job and it was a good one. I have been on the same job since ’43. You had told me to set a goal and call it i my 5 year plan.’ This I did and the Lord blessed me. In ’46 I bought a 45 acre farm and paid cash for it and made a down pay ment on a 6 room building three months later. May I say thank you for everything.—A.B.G. o o o j M. A. T.—I was called home to Texas a few months ago by my 1 family. Mother was low sick. At the time I was with a girl whom ' I had thought seriously of marry- j, ing. After a few days at home I ; realized that I was falling in love with mother’s nurse, and also ' saw that she was falling for me. 1 We saw quite a bit of each other and when I left to come back to Chicago, I asked her to marry me. She accepted and said she would come to me the next month. She did and we were married but I still continued to see the old girl friend Now here is my problem. My wife and I are expecting a child and I am beginning to worry for fear I do not love her. My mind has been on my old girl friend for weeks now and when I see her I know she is worrying about me. Tell me what to do. Ans: The girl friend is not worried about you as much you think. So far as she is concerned it was all over and done with between you the day you took the other girl for a wife. You may as well face the facts.. You are a married man now and no longer free to flit from one girl to another as of old. The other girl didn’t come up to your expectations, or you would have married her before you met your wife. Forget the old flame and ap preciate the girl you have. By your fretting and fuming you are passing up lightly one of the most important events of your life. becoming a father. o o o K. M.—Every so often I meet a , young man and imagine myself j madly in love with him. I put my faith in him, believing everything lie says, forgetting that there are iery few young college girls as serious as I. And I suffer a great aurt when he tires of me as he al ways does, but in time get over it md start anew.
