Ellsworth C. Alvord, noted finaance leader. “We need only to face the facts bodly and then act posit ive] y_posilively in the pursuit of a person for once where business is out' front with a determined program to do good in about all the important ways people want good done right new.”—L. R. Boulware, V. P.—Employee Relations, G. E. Co. “If anyone were to list the reasons why the United States became the world’s greate-t industrial nation, our railroads certainly would rank high on that list. Gwilym A. Price, President Westinghouse Electric Corp. “It is economic illiteracy to disregard the fundamental Economic principals of Americanism or decadent European ism.”_Erie P. Halliburton. Oklahoma Industrialist. “The small residual amount of corporate product that goes to profits is far more than just so much purchasing power.” It is the driving force back of our whole economy. —Edward Collins, Financial Editor. INDUSTRIAL LOOKING GLASS By Allan W. Powell * (NIPS)—-It is almost one of te greattest tragedies of our times that only a proportionately ew Negroes are stock holders in a major industrial corporation of the country. Were this not the case, it is almost certain that some o the present conceptions of the operation of the private enterprise system would undergo some adjustment in the minds of many of us. For some reason it has never been a practice of Brown Amberica to invest monies in stocks or bonds, despite the act that this phase of our economy is almost the backbone of the system under which this country enjoys its position as <one of the leading nations of the world. There are but a few leading utility, manufacturing, or commercial units now functioning that do not owe their ex istence to the thousands of persons who have financed then operations through the purchase of shares from their wage.^ or other income. In one large manufacturing company , about 35 percent of the nearly 250.000 stock holders own from 1 to 10 shares, while 85 percent of the total number are individuals. Vpt, we as a people are pathetically unaware of the finan cial element that is an integral part of any major corporation’s functioning. If this were not the case, the present outlook on the partt of many of us, especially as regards labor-manage ment relations, could be materially adjusted in view of our personal and more intelligent awareenss. Our appreciation of the significance of wage le\els, op erating costs, taxation, dividends, and the other facets of a companv’s operations could not help but be reflected in our more analvtical appraisal that would be undertaken in order to protect our investment. Nor is it too far-fetched to assume that the time may come when our equity in a corporation n .business afairs may result in policy changes that would ac complish some o thofse present inequalities that now efect us. i PALESTINE By Mvrtle M. Goodlow J " Great Britain’s refusal to recognize Palestine ■Z' Is another awful blunder of our time. Britain couldn’tt do any better Following Hitler’s orders to the letter • A people who has suffered so much And their loss so great To now again share the same fate Through a nation which preaches democracy But like our own is just hvpocrisy Be ye not deceived God is not mocked He counts deeds condemns idle talk And Britain shall rue the day She ever armed the Arabs to slay For God in His appointed time Shall right the wrongs of Palestine. , - , wAftaai on*. The Christian world now weeps with you \ For all you have gone through And it makes us very sad That Jerusalem is a Stalingrad But lift up your hearts Oh Israel \ For your cause is just and real. ^5alifc£ The God of might is on your side i He will lead you through the swelling tide The dav is coming soon When Palestine shall blossom and bloom And they who persecute you now In shame their heads shall bow _»f Pain and sorrow they too shall know For God has willed it so. -I • A flag was never raised on high ■* • Till brave men had to fight and die Thy flag Oh Israel shall ever wave on high The Star of David as a Star aflame ' * Proclaiming to the world they nation’s name.

He made me fall in love with hint by be ing so nice to me and now I do love him so hard. But he tells me now and he isn’t ready to settle down even though he did a.-^k me to marry him and said he was looking for a wife when we irst started together. I ou nd a girl’s picture he dropped out of his pocket. Does that mean anything? Ans: It does. You are no long er the apple of his eye. Here of late, you have some stiff com petition. However, two can play this game—get around and side up to some nice, like able chap yourself and watch his blood pressure rise. B. M.—I have five hundred dollars ow my own money. My friend has been trying to get me to loan him part of it. I want to keep this money. Ple ase tell me if I need to worry about it.? Ans: Yes—unless you bank it. Open savings account at the bank immediately and deposit this money. Keeping it on your person as you are doing at this time is most unwise as you will lose it or it will get away from you in some way. Your sav ings will be insured and sae in the bank. J. M. A.—Should I remain where I am or take a room at another place? Ans: Take the room you have been trying to get as soon as it is vacant. A change isn t ab solutely necessarv as your pre sent landlady has nothing ag - ainst you—but since you feel your present enviroment of fers you little—take the new place. It will be the means of your making new friends. L.B.—It seems that my hus band and I can’t get along, I love him and I know that he loves me but we uss all of the time. We say things to one another that we are sorry for afterwards. Seems though 1' have something catty to say , every time he comes m. i I want wou to tell me if we can ever be happy? iAns: You can—yes—but now unless you can turn over a new leaf. If you and your mate persist in abusing each other— the ultimate solution will be separation and divorce. By all means send 25 cents for my Happier Living Lesson “How To Hold Your Mate, before your marrage ends in complete aiiure. i F. C. B.—I am writing to ifnd out if I should accept the offer my son and his Bride have made me about coming and living with them. They have a new home. I own my own home. Should I go? Ans: Your son and new dau ghter-in-law mean well, but it is best that you keep your in dependance—and let them sha re their love alone. Visit them occasionally to prove your love for them—but don’t move in bag and baggage. Ziplock Helps Curb Bicycle Thefts • If you want your bike not only to get you to school but also back again, lock it securely, say the Yale experts. Mary Kay Jones who plays a fifteen-year-old high school girl in the Broadway 'hit “Strange Bedfellows shows how to put that good advice into practice The bike-wheel can’t turn when it is fastened with the new Yale ziplock The lock case can be zipped up the notched steel shackle to fit anv size needed to safely lock bicycles, duffle bags and camping equipment, j InU GR1G1NU UN CAR COMFORT, SAYS NOTED ENGINEER (NIPS) Despite the fact that the con veniences and ease of riding in the modern automobile has ac hieved remarkable distinction in recent years, the limit to the improvements possible does’nt exist, arrording to Earl H. Sm ith, famous experimental and major motor car company. The average car-buyer is ev idencing an increasing desire for car-comfort making his ch oice, says Smith, even to a point of ranking it above such factors as power, economy, ap pearance, roominess, and de pendability during a recent sur vey. Yet, he pointed out, eng ineers are still well ahead of the public’s wishes, and indic ated that his own company conducts 3,000 experiments each year to improve the ride. For many years, car-riders grew better with the improv ements of the highways, Smith said, but now that roads gen erally are good, the responsib ities for improvements rests entirely with the specialists, and they are making a contin uous effort to reduce side-sha ke back and forth and up and down motion to a minimum.

FACTS IN RHYME By Myrtle M. Goodlow .“By their fruits ye shall know them” Said Christ the Saviour of men. And Father Flanagan is living proof Of this great gospel truth. W orking with heart and soul, ' He reacned his long sought goal. Father Flanagan’s work and love for humanity, Has proven him to be A true disciple of Christ. And all that a servant of His should be. Filled with the love and spirit of Christ, He labors for all alike. Faithiuiiy toiiowing the Master’s plan, In loving and serving his fellowman. Without the helping hand, Of Father Flanagan, Hundreds of boys of every race, color and creed — Wrould never have known The comforts and joys of home. Or taught the useful trades which fit them— Nor the religious training given them To take an honored place among men. The sacred words I recall, “He that is greatest among you— Shall be the servant of all.” Still ring true from the heavens blue. And should be a lesson to all. . To love and serve mankind alike, Is the true spirit of our blessed Christ. Father Flanagan never shirked his work,— In God’s great vineyard — But has labored long and hard, And today we see his reward. And his efforts crowned, In the beautiful buildings of Boys’ Town! That through the years shall stand — As a monument to our beloved Father Flanagan. Servant of God — and servant of man, God bless Father Flanagan! | This poem was written by one of Omaha’s own. Father Flanagan had the pleasure of-reading it in Feb ruary, 1945. This poem was published by the Omaha Guide Publishing Co. Also below, is a letter from Fath er Flanagan to the writer of the poem to express his gratitude for the flowers where he lived. Mrs. Myrtle M.
