SUPREME LIBERTY TO WORK
WITH PRESIDENT
by Clifford c. Mitchell

Hardly had the radio speech Of
President Roosevelt been thorough
ly digested when the query came to
mind as to how the large colored
companies would react and as I am
in close proximity to Harry H. Pace
president of the Supreme Liberty
Life Insurance Company, and prob
ably the second largest and most sue
cessful colored concern in the coun-
try, I should his opinion.
And, contrary to the habits o. most
busy executives, the two doors to
President PAGES private Offices,
though marked "Private" are never
closed, or at least | have never found
them So, and while I do not like to
disturb a busy executive u~nnecessar-
lily | have never yet found him un-
willing to express an opinion or to
give advice that will help me give
my readers a weekly feature that
will tend to assist our economic prob
lens.

informed on all matters and beyond
mentioning the subject. President

COMPLETES SECOND YEAR
WITHOUT A LOST TIME AC,
CIDENT

The Nebraska Power has just COM
pIeted its second consecutive year Of
operation without a lost-time acct
dent. establishing 2 safety record IN
eo1aled by n large utility unit in
she United States, according to an
announcement by J. Z. Davidson,
president. A lost-time accident IS
one IN which the employee is so SER
iously injured he is unable to resume
work az the beginning of the next
regular period.
This record. recognized by the Ma
tional Safety Council with h~eadquar-
tiers IN Chicago, as the outstanding in
the utilities field in the United States
is she result Of a program launched
9 years ago by the Nebraska Power
Co.. IN an effort to reduce the then
too frequent accidents. To reduce
the accident toll a safety organiza-
tion was formed, embracing all en-
ployes Of the company together with
those Of the Citizens Power and Light
CO. Of Iowa, with operating head
quarters I'LL Council Bluffs.
Prior 70 1923 the eaverage toll Of the
Nebraska Power Co., was one fatal
and IS lost-time accidents annually.
The complete elimination of fatal and
lost-time accidents in the last two
years. and a reduction Of so per cent
IN minor accidents also made, has
been the result Of these safety eff
forts.
I'VE are very proud of this safety
record Mr.. Davidson said. "Our
safety organization has not only
saved lives, but much untold suffer
ing by preventing accidents, and has
been worth all the time and thought
that has been put IN on the plan.
Credit for this achievement must go
70 the hundreds Of employees Of the
company who have given the most
loyal cooperation"
Roy Page, General Manager, said:
Great I am prOuder of this record
than anything we have done"
r.. g. Gespert, general superinten-
dent, is director Of the company's
organization, assisted by R.

0rds in a number Of instances eclipse

a whole.

CLARENCE BARROW processes to have no
- faith in the human race His own deeds
contradict him. for he just has marked his
seventy-sixth birthday anniversary by saving
the life of 18-year-old Russell McWillians and
the honor of Illinois.
1t was his volunteer pleading with Cover

Mr.. Darrow hates injustice and cruelty,
whether of individuals or society Particularly
he hates capital punishment.
There is nothing" he says, "in the history
of the world that ever SO cheapened human
life as war, and next to that the indiscriminate
killing of men by the states If the state
wishes its citizens to respect life, it should stop
killing them
Our birthday wish is that Mr. Darrow live
long enough to see the end of legal killing in
his United States.
