A. Rogers, director of the Nebraska State Department of Health. “It was just 11 years ago," he continued, “that the discovery of the miracle drug streptomycin gave the fight against tuberculosis and other infectious diseases its biggest medical boost. Since then many other drugs have been dis covered." Dr. Rogers hastened to remark that none of these actually kills the tubercle bacilli in a patient's body. The drugs only slow up or inhibit multiplication of the germs, so that more and more people are living today with tu berculosis that has been converted from active to inactive — approxi mately 800,000, with an estimated 5,000 of them in Nebraska. “Satisfaction over the saving of lives of these TB patients is tem pered, however, by the realization that even today more than a mil lion Americans require medical care or supervision for active or inactive tuberculosis,” the state medical director said. “And an other fifty million are unwilling hosts to live tubercle bacilli." He declared that 1,290 cases under medical care were regis tered with his department last year. Each one of these that is active costs Nebraska about $15,000 by the time you figure treatment, rehabilitation, welfare services and lost wages. “It is your voluntary contribu tion through annual purchase of Christmas Seals that will help re duce this terrible toll,” Dr. Rogers stated. “While 94% of our Christmas Seal contributions is for Nebraska use, each county tuberculosis organization al s o contributes a part of every dollar to the national research program to help sppread victory over TB. OUR UTA HALEE GIRLS NEED YOUR HELPI The Omaha Council of Church Women is responsible for the yearly operating budget of $18,000 for the UTE Halee Home. We know that many of our church members are not reached through the women's organizations of our churches, and feeling that all ■ Protestant church families want to have a small part in this worth - while endeavor, we "offer you this I opportunity to help. We feel that it is a real priv ilege to have a part in preventing rather than correcting delinquen-, cy. Caring for our homeless and j dependent girls, as other faiths I care for theirs, is a noble Chris tian gesture. NAACP FREEDOM SEALS t f V , - ' ' As 1956 Holiday Season ap proaches, persons here and abroad again arc being asked to purchase NAACP Christ mas Seals as support for Asso ciation's civil rights work. Lena Horne, chairman of Christmas Seal campaign, points out that purchase of Seals will enable NAACP “to meet adversaries of freedom with something more than mere hopes and wishes.” Court Says NAACP Ban Null, Void NEW ©RIJSANS, La., Nov. 30 — The Louisiana Court of Appeals ruled this week that a lower court injunction banning NAACP activities in the state was null and void and should never have been issued. The ruling was on the techni cal point that since NAACP attor neys had filed a motion in the Federal court last March prior to action by the state court, the court had decided what it would do with the NAACP motion. The state court ignored the fact that the NAACP had tiled in the Federal court and proceeded with a hearing, after which it is sued the injunction. NAACP at torneys appealed to the state court of Appeals. The effect of the ruling this week is to place the matter where it was before the state court acted, namely, the NAACP is free to continue its activities in the state or may not appeal this week’s until the courts act on its peti tion. Attorneys for the state ma> ruling to the state supreme court. They have ten days in which to act. At the moment the state must now file an answer to the petition filed by the NAACP in the Feder al court last March 28. The Fed eral court will then decide wheth er it has jurisdiction and whether it will hear the case. It may re quire both sides to file briefs on the question of jurisdiction and hold a hearing before rendering a decision. Or it may take juris diction and require the filing of briefs on the issue and then hold « hearing. If the Federal court for any reason should not hear the case, the nutter will doubtless be ' Holiday Salads And Relishes Jaunty, colorful salads and relishes lend a cheerful touch to the table.

Ebony Is Featuring Walter White Chicago — The heart-warming love story of NAACP’s Walter White and his white wife, Poppy Cannon, is featured in the Janu ary EBONY. The story, taken from a book written by Miss Can non, and finished prior to White’s death, is entitled The Love That Never Died. It describes the joys and heartaches the two endured during their seven-year marriage. They first met in 1929. Poppy was 20—White was 35. Despite infrequent contacts a warm at traction developed between them. They fought against it and for one period went ten years without seeing each other. Then in 1944 they met at a luncheon and re sumed their friendship. It was three years before they were di vored and free to marry each oth er, she writes in EBONY. In July, 1949, 20 years after their first meeting Walter White and Poppy Cannon were married. She writes that even though White never admitted it, she knew that their marriage added to his problems in the NAACP. Powerful forces within the Associ ation wanted to oust him. He ' was told before the marriage, that Negro women would severely criticize him. They learned that it was Negro women who support ed them most. Famous people like Mary McLeod Bethune and I Lena Horne stuck by the Whites i and dispelled the myth. wnen wnue ana roppy. were | married he had already suffered I many heart attacks.

I Holiday Shopping Hours Downtown Unchanged Monday and Thursday evenings until Christmas are the Holiday hours again this year in most Downtown stores. For several months many stores have been maintaining these hours. Evening closing hour is regularly 8:30 p.m. Christmas and New Years Eve the stores will close at 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, the days only after Christmas and New Years, the stores will be open until 8:30 p.m. in place of the customary Monday and Thursday nights. Holiday buying has started with an active tempo. Shoppers appar ently have been taking advantage of the regular promotions and added to it a certain amount of their holiday buying. With the “no added store hours”, as is practiced in most cities, shopping early is in the minds of some apparently as practical procedure rather than to join the last weeks rushes. Retail Sales volume will reach new peaks in November and Decem ber as pointed out in the newspaper’s financial section recently. Record personal incomes couples with the recent wave of increased wages, together with the fact that employment is at another heighth, assures that shoppers will make the Holiday buying a busy one for retailers. Negro A ttys Seek N.Y. Judgeship. New York. . .(CNS) . . When Justice Carson Dewitt Baker va cated his $17,000 a year judgeship last week after much unfavorable publicity for ignoring traffic tickets, a wide-open race devel oped for all Negro attorneys liv ing in the 19th Municipal Court District — which covers the Har lem district. Under the law, Mayor Robert Wagner must pick a successor by December 14th or within 20 days of the vacancy. This caused number of Harlemites to be [ looked into. They include At torney Maurice Gray, Rent Ad I ministrator Thomas V. Sinclair, I Deputy Comptroller Amos Bow 1 man, Joseph E. Dyer. Considered a bit out front of the pack is Assemblyman Ken neth M. Phipps, a hardworking young lawyer, who had just been reelected for Assemblyman in the recent election by an. overwhelm ing majority. Phipps has the in side track even over Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whaley, long a party favorite. Phipps is Borough President Jack’s man, which is certainly to help his case since Jack still maintains control ovei the 19th District.
