Committee Picked by Mayor
Once again the Omaha Guide
presents it’s Annual Clean Up
campaign in conjunction with
the National Bureau in order
Omaha’s Synthetic
Southerners
Up here in the North, peo
ple are inclined to wonder
what sort of people Southern
ers must be, to be defending so
violently their freedom to
lynch Negroes.
Before any Omahan takes
too much of a holier than thou
attitude tow-ard the South, he
might look around and see
what sort of bigots and synthe
tic Southerners there are in
Omaha.
A grade school basket ball
game scheduled for Florence
Community Center was can
celed the other day because
some self-appointed guardiams
of “white supremacy” in the
Florence area objected to the
fact that there were Negro
' boys on one of the teams.
The United States, with its
loud praise o f democracy
throughout the world, is be
ginnig to look ridiculous be
cause of the civil rights battle
in the South. It is looking rid
iculous, too, because of such
incidents as that at the Flor
ence Community Center.
Let Omahans who really do
believe in democracy support
Park Superintendent McClin
tock in his order that there be
no more such discrimination.

If jet-propelled planes make world
travel a matter of hours, sufferers
from asthma, bronchitis and other
lung troubles will flock to Aden,

from sea water.
Platinum Foxes Possible
By depriving ordinary silver
foxes of one of the "B” group of
vitamins, it is possible to obtain a
platinum fox. This discovery was
made at University of California.
However, the platinized foxes do
not produce furs so durable as the
Norwegian variety. The only fox
that Is being raised commercially
to any great extent in the United
States is the silver fox. Perhaps
they lend themselves to confine
ment better than most wild ani
mals. The grey fox is much slower
than the red fox. The red fox has
been known to cover a given dis
tance at the rate of 30 miles per
hour.

Running water still is lacking in
75 per cent of the farm homes of the
nation. Only 5 per cent of city homes
lack running water. A faim. family
of five with a fair amount of live

a year if they have to pump and
carry it by hand. If the farm had
running water and electric pumps
the same family would use probably
twice as much water and have none
of the effort of transporting tons of
water by hand.
