MAJ—My husband and I do
not get along so well. Why?
Every time I go out and stay
a little late or if I spend the
night with mother, he says I
have been out with a man.
What is the matter with him ?
Ans: He's jealous and you cert
ainly do not make any effort
to help him control this tend
ency Staying out late in the
evenings and spending the nite
away from home without him
causes him to imagine that you
really are not playing fair You
won't be able to keep your
husband happy unless you do
show him more consideration.
Include him in your activit
ies.
LCB—I completed my college
course and have been working
two years. I want very' much
to enter the College of Swed
ish Massage is Chicago this
fall. Please advise me.
Ans : This field of endeavor ap
peasl to you—go to Cihcago
and complete this course of stu
dy and become qualified in this
work. The chances are, you
will go in business for yourself
in a few years. The vacation
city' where you now live woulv
be an ideal spot for vou to be
gin your business career.
BS—I am 22 years and in love
with a girl 17. She says she lov
es me. I asked her tomarr- me
but she said she would tell me
later. She still goes out with
other boys. What's her object
ion to me if she loves me?
Ans: You dring too much to
suit her. Cut it out altogether
or be more moderate in your
drinking if you expect to win
her for a wife. She has admit
ted that she loves you but she
is not going to give up her
friends until she is engaged.
The young lady has the right
idea.
RMV—My problem is this: I
am lonesome. I work every day
and on weekends. I don t have
anything to do but go to a
show all alone. There is no one
to take me out any where. I
would like to know if I will
ever meet a nice gentleman
friend and what must I do?
Ans: You can enjoy an active
social life if you will get ar
ound and mix more freely with,
people. Become affiliated with
as many people as you can.
Make some girl friends for
they will introduce you to the
men of their acquaintance. 1/

Happier Living Lesson No. 4
How To Win a Man. It will
give you some tips.
ARC—I am anxious to know
about a piece of land I am
buying. It seems like the man
has sold me the wrong place
I thought I had a tract facing
the highway. He says now
that it is the tract back off the
stream. I don't w-ant that place
Tell me what to do?
Ans: Determine immediately
just where the property bou
nds are that you are buying. A
surveyor will be glad to come
out and stake off your boun
drv line and show you exactly
where your property lies. Have
this done before you continue
with the payments on the place
BM—Do you think I should go
back to my old job as my hus
band is trying to encourage me
to do ? The work is leasent, the
hours are short, and I like it.
but it doesn’t pay as much as I
would like.
Ans: It sounds like an ideal
job—especially since you are
not orced to earn )*our own liv
ing. You could accept this job
in order to earn a little extra
money for your personal -needs
and yet, have time to work at
your job as a housewife. The
pleasant surroundings are wor
th more to you than a simular
job paying more.
CB—Thanks for the help you
have given me in the past. Tell
me if you recommend that * I
sell this small tract of land that
I have been offered such a
good price for this month. If I
hold it, would the price in
crease ?
Ans: Sell it while you have a
good offer. Prices are very un
stable right now and the quo
tation you have received, far
exceedes your fondest dream.
Let it slide.
SPX—I’m having trouble with
my husband again. I’ve cau
ght him with another woman
three different times. The first
he ran but the other two times
I went after him and he came
with me telling me how sorry
he was and he wonldn’t do it
again. He says he loves me
but 'I can't believe it.
Ans: It looks like your hus
band demands more attention
than the average married man.
So—see that he gets it. Treat
him as a sweetheart, not a wife
If it’s loving he wants—give
him lenty of it—At home. Give
him another chance but don’t
give him so much freedom, as
j he just can’t take it.
! WSS—Hello Abbie’. They tell
me old boy that you have giv
en some mighty good advise
so get busy and help me. I
went with a girl about a year.
I asked her to marry me and
she told me to wait a few days
so I told her if she didn't marry
me then, I would get someone
else and I married another girl.
Now she says if I had waited,
she would have married me.
Did I make a mistake ?
’ Ans: Your most serious mis
take is trying to enter the girl’s,
f life again—you made your cho
ice, have the courage to stick
, by your decision. \ ou cannot
impress her now as she will
not go with a married man.
Make up your mind and find
happiness with your new wife
as you could not have loved
the other girl very much, else
you would not have taken the
steps that vou did.

MMW—I am a married man.

wife and she works all of the
time but she in under the influ
ence of my brother-in-law and
his wife and looks like they

Speed was the principle fac-'

The survey based on reports

of the Department of Roads

driving too fast for conditions
accounted for 80 of the 280 fat

“Human Rights—Our Chal

Delta will seek to bring before
its delegates from 183 chapters,
distinguished leaders in both
domestic and world affairs to
discuss the subject. In addition
a rich program of social activ

...Pack up aC your cares and woes,
here we go .f.'
Be they vacation or weekend
Jaunts, this is a month when many
persons train their sights on road
maps and train and plane schedules
for that trek to seashore or moun
tain country.
It's fun to travel. However. I agree
with Joan Arliss, lovely actress of
the “Official Detective” broadcasts,
that it's fun only when you're ade
quately prepared. She brought that
point out well as I visited her in an
MBS studio on a recent Tuesday
evening, shortly before program
time, as she told me of her forth
coming plans for two weeks be
neath Bermuda's sunny skies.
“Lucky gal." thought I. particu
larly after-she showed me that she
had some pretty good answers for
some of the problems which fre
quently cause trepidation in the
minds of potential travelers. As we
got deeper into conversation. I
learned that the balmy isles are
only three and one-half air hours
away and If you are a careful plan
ner and talented packer, which I
soon concluded were but two of
Joan’s many attributes, you'll
i “choose right and travel light” and
have a wonderful vacation with a
minimum of luggage.
The hat-travel problem has been
solved very nicely by this miss. She
is taking along packable halo hats
which open out flat and can be made
of fabric to match dresses. I also
found out that luggage need not be
overloaded with shoes if clothes are

planned which do not call for differ
ent colors in footwear. Finally. Joan
advises packing clothes with tissue
paper between folds to prevent
creases.
If you should find that your skirts
look like the proverbial slept-in
kind, wrinkles will come out if you
hang them from the top drawer of
a dresser by the waistband and close
the drawer fast. As I was ready to
take leave with notes in one hand
and a travel folder in the other,;
Joan told me of another of her pack-!
ing tricks which I think every
journey-minded person might do
well to heed. Before she packs a i
single item, she wipes out her bags
with a cloth soaked in cologne and
thereby substitutes delicious scent
for stale odor.

Hon. Glen Cunningham
Mayor, City of Omaha, Xebr.
Dear Sir:
July 13th, 1948
We wish to make known to
you aur opinion concerning the
serious occurance that took
place recently when some Xeg
ro boys were attacked by some
white boys.
It is our considered judge
ment that such occurances are
not isolated,, individual hap
penings but rather the result
of the discriminatory Jim Crow
relationship which exist in the
city of Omaha. Indeed it is for
tunate, in our opinion, that con
sideration the atmosphere of
segregation in which our you
ng folk grow up, that such hap
penings have not occured more
frequently.
It is furthur our considered
judgement that unless all those
who believe in Democracy,
and do not just talk about it,
unite to remove the shameful
blow of lynch law, poll tax
conditions, discrimination in
our restaurants, hotels, and job
employment, in the country at
large and in the state of Xebr.
that such tragedies are bound
to occur again and again.
We on our part intend to
help accomplish the aim of ach
ieving full Democracy for the
Negro pjople, and all minorit
ies. Catholics, Jews and other
in the life of our State and the
Nation, as well as a greater
Democracy for all of our peo
ple.
We would appreciate it if
you would allow a committee
of individuals both from our
organization and others to see
you to discuss this matter fur
ther.
We are sending a copy of
this letter to the Nebraska
press.
Very Respectfully Yours,
Rev. Arthur F. Stearns
State Chairman
Hy Gardner: “A divorce is nothing
more than a strike between two peo
ple after negotiations break down.”
