The airconditioned bus left 0 maha at 7. a.m. and arrived at its destination at 12:30 p.m. All the visitors disembarked and enjoyed dinner before attending the 3 p.m. service. “We had a lovely trip and we enjoyed ourselves,” said the Rev. St. Clair in speaking for the group. “The people seemed to en joy the fact too that we were able to make the trip,” he continued. At the afternoon service, the sermon was delivered by the Rev. St. Clair. He stated specifically that the trip was made to help encourage the Rev. Mosely in his work, be cause although a pastor of his own church, he maintains his member ship at Mt. Moriah, here in Oma ha. Before leaving for Omaha, sev eral of the “white” ministers pre sent at the gathering tried with no avail, to get the Mt. Moriah choir to stay for evening services and sing at their churches. The Omahans began their jour ney home at 6 p.m. regretting not being able to stay longer. How ever, the Rev. St. Clair said, he felt that the Rev. Mosely “was doing nicely”, in his new adven ture. , Inter-Club Tea Will Be August 21 The members of Cleaves Tem ple, C.M.E.

RUTH NESTOR Would Fire Teachers In The NAACP Atlanta — Attorney General Eugene Cook’s proposal to dis charge any public school teacher in the State of Georgia who joins or contributes to the NAACP has been denounced by the Georgia State Conference of NAACP branches as “an encroachment of the constitutional guarantees of every white and Negro citizen.” The executive committee of the NAACP Conference meeting here j recently took “the position that jany American citizen has the civil and constitutional right to join or support any organization whose purposes are legitimate and not contrary to the law oi the land.” Previously in New York, Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive secre tary, had declared that adoption of Mr. Cook’s recommendation would be “emmediately challeng ed” in the courts. He charged the Georgia official with turning “to mean, personal, punitive ac tion against individual teachers” after failing to “bulldoze the United States Supreme Court.” The Georgia NAACP also ex pressed the opinion that regula tion already adopted by the Geor gia State Board of Education re voking licenses of persons teach ing mixed classes “cannot be successfully defended whenever and wherever challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.” Cancer Group i Director Mrs. Ruth Nestor of Tecumseh has been appointed a field dir ector for the Nebraska Division of the American Cancer Society, it was announced by Mrs. Thomas Houlton, executive director.

Her responsibilities will be or ganizing volunteer American Can cer Society chapters in each of the counties. These chapters will function on a year round basis to carry on the lay education pro gram of the Nebraska Division and conduct the Annual Cancer Crusade for funds in April. Mrs. Houlton, in making the announcement, said, “The Ne braska Division is fortunate to be able to add Mrs. Nestor to its staff. Her experiences in or ganizational work and dealing with the public should prove invaluable to the growth of the Nebraska Cancer Society. “Plans are being formulated for an increased and more wide spread program of cancer educa tion for the lay public. The moral, physical and financial sup* port of Nebraska volunteers will determine the distance we are to progress.” OMEGAS PLAN TEEN-AGE HOP The local chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will present a Teen-Age Dance at Fontenelle Park Pavilion on August 27.

The Council has decided un animously to send the matter to City Manager Sherwood Reeder for study. To Councilman Ezra T. Summers, author of the bill, “Legal opinions seem to agree that this method would eliminate the separation by force which the Supreme Court ruled against.” DON NEWCOMBE PINCH HITS, TOO St. Louis, Mo. — Don New combe is not only the winningest pitcher in baseball with his 17-1 record, but he can pinch hit, too, most creditably. The game was the opening of a series with St. Louis. Big Newk’s blow was a double. It came with two out and delivered Gil Hodges who had opened the seventh inning with a single. Newk barely missed having a home run. Newk scored his teams second run and would have pushed over the third if a fan hadn’t interfered with the ball. The Dodgers won the game from the Cardnals 5-4. Rudy Rotella Named Ass't Coach At O U Rudy Rotella, end and captain of the 1954 University of Oma ha undefeated football team, was named assistant coach on a “ stu dent coaching internship” at the University for the 1955-56 school year. Athletic director Virgil Yelkin said the appointment will be ef fective September 1. Yelkin pointed out that Rotella would be assistant coach for all sports dur ing the entire school year. Rotella, a “little All-American” j end in 1954, did his part as the football team broke all school scoring records by catching 32 passes for six touchdowns and 472 total yards during the regu lar season. In the 9th annual Tangerine Bowl game New Year’s night (Orlando, Florida) Rotella scor ed the Indians only touchdown on a 30-yard pass, as Omaha squeezed out a 7-6 victory over Eastern Kentucky State of Rich mond, Kentucky. Rotella was recently released after a tryout with the San Fran cisco 49ers of the professional football league. Planning Committee For Beauty Culturists' Convention lT"iTrU¥l Ill' III III ilill III IWWIIIH - • -rmn^— Mrs. Cordelia Greene Johnson, president of the National Beauty Culturists’ League, seated at head of table, met recently with the Washington, D. C., planning com mittee for the August 14-18 con vention of the League. Seen with Mrs. Johnson, left to right seated, are Madams Pearl L. Brown, Maude Gasson, (Mrs. Johnson), Annie E. Jackson, Frances Foster and Ada T. Pal mer. Standing, left to right, are Jean Jackson, Madams Marion Ward, Mary Tillman, Fredonia Boyd, Florence Scott, Evelyn Dixon, Grace Benjamin, Fannie P. Brown, Ella Brown, Birdell Boyd and Grace Monroe. The planning sessions were held in the well-appointed con ference room of the League’s beautiful new headquarters at 25 Logan Circle in Washington. If the total assets of the Cen tralized Commonwealth Civic Club’s credit union were evenly divided among the credit union members, it would amount to ap proximately $73.98. But that isn’t the way it’s fig ured. For 177 credit union members, according to Mr. James Cole, board member, have as their total assets, $13,095.58 but that includes shares and repayments on loans. And, of course, some individ uals have more shares thai others and any equitable distribu tion of the assets would have tc be paid on that basis. However, from the looks of the total assets there is little danger of liquidation since, from time to time more community members are being initiated into the ad vantages of belonging to a credit union. Just how does the local credit union figure along with the state and national figures? Figures Show According to THE CREDIT UNION YEARBOOK 1954, Ne braska has 130 credit unions with a membership of 49,850, and total assets of $14,864,813. Nationally, it lists, 14,152 credit unions, with memberships total ing 7,091,162, and total assets a mounting to $2,020,113,916. So it is readily evident that credit unions are worthy groups that have appeared on the scene and helped to stretch the house hold budget. Who are the individuals who are responsible for handling and loaning the money accumulated in the 4-C credit union, might easily be a question on the mind of any interested individual? i Seven Man Board The seven-man board of dir ectors of the 4-C credit union are elected at the annual meet ing. They have the general management of the credit union and set policies, approve applica tions, set the interest rate, and declare dividends. Functioning on the board of directors for the 4-C’s are: Mr. Theodore Richling, president; Mrs. Alpha Mears, secretary; Mr. Ralph Brown, t treasurer; Mr. James Cole, first vice president, and members, Mr. Edward Fletch er, Mr. Samuel Greene, and Mr. John T. Davis. All credit unions have a credit committee to supervise all loans to members. Prospective bor rowers present applications to the committee, usually in writing, stating the purpose for wanting the money, security offered, and other necessary data. The four members of the 4-C credit committee include: Mr. Theodore Cobb, Mr. Arthur B. McCaw, Mrs. Louise E. Crumb ley, and Miss Helen Pace. Watchdog Committee Acting as the “watchdog” for the 4-C’s is the supervisory com mittee. This committee keeps an eye on the operations of the credit union, examines the affairs of the credit union, and makes a report at the annual meeting. Mr. Harry Meister is chairman of the supervisory committee. The other two members are: Mr. Willis Gray and Mr. Robert Har ris. In addition to being on the board of directors, Mr. Ralph Brown, treasurer, is the book keeper. In other words, he’s in charge of receiving and disburs ing funds. The board of directors meet every second Monday of the month at 311 Brandeis Building. Their next meeting is scheduled for August 8, said Mr. James Cole, Board member. John Shinahouse Mr. John H. Shinahouse, 50 years, 2606 Hamilton Street, ex pired unexpectedly Tuesday after noon, August 2nd at the above ad dress. Mr. Shinahouse had been a resi dent of Omaha ten years.
