The idea seems to change household
work from its strictly menial category'
to an occupational level of other bet- ^
ter type service occupations. Many
women who went to war industries
who had previously done domestic
work and are experienced have not re
covered from sudden prosperiay of
those booming days sufficiently to re
enter service work. Perhaps their re
luctance will not be so great when
household work changes into the new
era.
Tire project committees proposed at
least four holidays a vear and in some
I
cases eight. Special holidays men
tioned for no work are Christmas,
New Years, Thanksgiving and Easter.
Arrangements could be made also for
Good Friday, Memorial day, the 4th
of July, Labor Day and so on: such
arrangements made by choice.
Another proposal was that paid va
cations for one week with pay and
after a year’s service, paid vacation
time may be two weeks. It was felt
that sick leave should be given at the
rate of one week per year with pay
and others suggested sick leave should
accumulate at the rate of one day per
month after six months on the job.

Seasonal changes have caused an1
increase in requests for extra house
cleaning and for yard and gardening
work.
Men and women who prefer this
type of work during the spring and
summer are asked to register at the
Urban League.

against sickness and injury under
neither a private or public responsi
bility. The omission is serious be
cause domestic workers generally are
unable to bear the cost of accidents
and illness.
We will look forward with great in
terest to obtain a complete report on
this important survey and will look
hopefully for the fulfillment of its
provisions. Especially is this true in
view of the fact that the occupation
of service workers continues to be the
largest single employment field for
Negro women. Another important fact
to consider is that considerable prob
lems have been noted and manifested
by large numbers of Negro household
workers; and, there has been griev
ances on the part of household em
ployers. Perhaps the innovation of
these proposals will clarify misunder
standings and make the, occupation
more agreeable for both employee and
employer.
The results of this study will un
doubtedly be good news to 500 Negro
women and nearly 4000 white women
in Omaha, who are in the occupational
field of household workers.

Moth
ers day and the very sacred honor we
should give. And keep in mind at all
times that the word should at all
times cherish and dwell in our heart
as loving Mother with their sweet
smiles and loving words produces
fond memories are a comfort to us.
As she has looked dow-n on our sleep
ing faces, and offered many prayers,
that the almighty God would watch
over us, and guide our steps as we
grow childhood to youth and man
and womanhood. And mother at all
times will greet us with a smile, and
encourage us. Feeling that she has
finished a very important duty when
she has given us birth and reared her
children with the hope and divine
guidance of the almighty God. So let
us at all stages of life give very high
honor to mother and use our best ef
forts to make her happy and proud of
her children that are helping to hurry
on in life.

FALMADGE & THOMPSON ARE
STILL FEUDIN’
Atlanta.Ga.—Herman Talmadge,
the disposed Governor of Georgia
and Governor M. E. Thompson are
still at it. This time Herman has
accused Thompson of trying to or
ganize a white and black zebra
Democratic party in the peach
state. Herman’s verbal attack
came after Thompson’s call for a
State Democratic party convention
in Macon on April 30, for the pur
pose of ousting all Talmadgites
from key posts. A stannch Tal
madge supporter, James S. Peters
asserts that the Governor’s move
is to entice Negro votes. Herman
without authority to recognize the
party and therefore might be re
garded as setting up a "rival par
ty group.” “There can be but one
Democratic party in Georgia,”

the way you answer other people’s
problems. I find it necessary to call
on you with mine. I am 18, have 2
children, a girl 18 months and a
boy 2 months. The boy's father
has taken care of us for the past
year and he wants very much to
marry me and be a father to these
children- We love each other. Here
i the drawback. He has a widowed
mother to support and I don’t want
him to mistreat her for us. His
mother is fond of us and thinks it
will be all right. What should I do ’
Ans: Marry the man. Your child
ren need a father and you need a
husband. It isn’t necessary that
you inconvenience his mother at
all by joining him in marriage- You
understand his position and should
insist that he continue to provide
for her. His mother realizes his
love for you and knows he will
never be happy without you. She
i\ perfectly willing to share her
home with you as her son’s wife.
P. L.—I’ve been in the city a
month visiting my in-laws- They
are trying to coax me to open a
place of business here. I have oper
ated a very successful tea room
business for years and sold out
recently. I can see the possibilities
in this new location.
Advise me.
Ans: Choose a likely sight for
your tea room and go back in bus
iness. You have reached the point
where the life of leisure you are
now living is growing monotonus
and going back in business is the
oly thing that will satisfy your
pres ent state of restlessness.
There’s money to be made—you
know how to make it, too.
C B.—For the past’-month I have
been worried to death. My first
and second husband both are pes
tering me to return to them and
I can’t make up my mind if I want
either one ?
Ans: Leave well enough alone.
Neither one of them had what it
took to make you contented—it
won’t be any different now. Contin
ue your search for Mr. Bight—he’ll
be along before long.
P. N- C.—I have been home six
weeks and my wife acts strange.
She received my allotment for 3
years and worked regular and she
lived well I saved my money and
brought it home with me. I want
to build a nice house on part of
my property but she says she is
n't interested in a home or any
thing I have. Now I have made up
my mind to build the home and
move in regardless. She can come
if she likes or stay as she is.
Ans: The new -home will prove a
show . . Aside to Brooklyn Dod
gers: Give us abreak, fellas and
don't snub our Jackie anymore. . .
Joe Louis, in the middle of the

prefers to wait until Fall. . .

Paul Denis, Radio Editor of the
New YorkPost wrote quite an al
arming column last week downing
Jack Benny for inserting the Ro
chester voiced joke: “This is your
favorite brunet.” Denis thought
the gag in bad taste because the
humor was based on a man's col
or. . an wrote him: “I take excep
tion to your item In Bad Taste. I
heard the broadcast along with
several other Negroes, and not one
of them took exception to that com
ment. In fact, we enjoyed it and
thought it quite clever.” We must
add that Rochester's gag was mild
compared to some we’ve heard and
therefore barely passes the O. K -
line.
good investment. Go right ahead
with ahead with your plans- How
ever don't overlook the necessity
of reaching a favorable under
standing with your wife. The pre
sent state of indifference is poison
to your marriage. Urge her to go
away with you on a trip—a second
‘ honeymoon”—thestrive to kindle
the flame of love in her heart all
over again.
W. R.DI am home now after
several years- When I went in the
service I lacked one year of fin
ishing high school. I am very anx
ious to go back to school and finish
up as well as go to college but I
just hate the idea of going back
to school with a bunch of kids.
Ans: Don't worry about that score
your interest in a high school dip
loma so let nothing whatever stand
in your way of obtaining it- Once
you get back in school, you'll find
some of the kids to be easy on the
eyes and very delightful company.
C. M- F.—Now you see, I have
never wanted to be anyone import
ant, just wanted to get married,
have a home and kids. I never ran
around or drank like some of our
friends did I worked and helped
out when things were tough. But
what credit did I get, none. My
husband throws all that fle and I

Pinkham’s Compound does more than relieve
