Sunday was a day Of fiery spirit,
starting In the Sunday School and
continuing to the last minutes Of night
service. The Sunday School lesson
was very interesting and was made
more stirring by a review from the
Bishop. The School was dismissed to
enter into a service Of real Joy. Ev-
er- one seemed full of the spirit. The
Bishop stepped into the pulpit with
the match of truth and set fire to
everyone. His text was taken from
St. Luke, 1852, "And Jesus said unto
nm, No man, having put his hand to
TIE plow, and looking back, is fit for
the kingdom of God". The subject
was Count up the Cost. Bishop
Musgrove is one of the most power
full ministers Omaha has ever known.
Anyone who hasn't heard him, has
missed a real gospel treat.
The early evening was devoted to
the Bible Band, under the leadership
Of Rev. A. ]. Henderson and Mrs.
Vera Graham. 1t is progressing rap
idly. In fact, the whole church is
progressing under the love and tutor
ing of the new pastor, DR.. A. S. May

are urged to hear him.

OF the morning service. The Bishop
took his text from Job, 1919. "Be-
hold, my witness is in Heaven, and

Los ANGELES. - (CNA) -
None Of the enterprising mer-
chants of Los Angeles maintains
separate store for Negro and
white customers. Times being
what they are, the average mer-
chant is glad to welcome any Gus
toner regardless of color.
But the Los Angeles County Re
lief Administration has nothing to
sell at its newly established com
mlSsary stores to which the I'M
employed applicants for aid NAV
go and draw patronage by dis
elimination.
On December IL, LACR offic-
lals issued an official memoran-
dunn advising case workers that
when giving out orders on the
commlsaries the geographical To-
cation of the stores should be
taken into account. That sounds
humanitarian. 1t is sensible TO
make 1t as easy as possible for
the applicant to get his supplies
without going to any great dis
lance.
The Jokes
But there was a joker in the
order. Mixing Of races" at the
stores, said the order, was to be
strictly avoided. In other words.
Negro and white unemployed are
forbidden to stand side by side
to- draw their dole. Here again, a

DIVISION CHAIRMEN TO AID
TICKET SALE FOR NATIONAL
FLOWER AND GARDEN SHOW

Ford Hovey, in charge Of the sale
OF reduced price advance tickets for
the National Flower and Garden show
to be held in Omaha at Ak-Sar-Ben
coliseum starting March 80, has an
nounced division chairmen to aid HIM
in the ticket campaign.
They are: W. o. Swanson, retail and
wholesale division; W. F. Cozad, fnan-
clal; Alvin F. Johnson, South Omaha:
Ford Bates, public service; Harley
Conant, hotels; R. F. Myers, Council
Bluffs, and Glen B. Eastburn, Miss
ouri Valley territory.
Fifty-thousand of the advance tick
cts will go on Sale starting February
J.. When these are all gone, the adj
mission price will then be raised to
65 cents for the duration Of the show.
In a communication to division
heads Mr.. Hovey cautioned them Of
the absolute impossib:lity of obtaining
more of the advance tickets: "When
the national committee was here in
Omaha last week I made a personal
plea that Omaha and this territory be
given an adequate number Of the
tickets. But due to the financial ex-
agencies of the venture, the committee
that only a very limited num-
Der of the advance tickets be sold. Our
quota must remain at the $4,000 fip-
ure," he said.
DIVISION heads will act as chairmen
OF groups to handle distribution of the
tickets. Each division will be ~allocat-
ed an amount of the tickets repre-
sentative of the number of persons
IN its particular class. When this fig
ure has been exhausted, no more Of
the tickets will be allowed the divis-

tickets will be placed in the hands Of
workers. Persons in the division NAV
then obtain them from workers.
Sale Of the tickets throughout the

Council Bluffs will be under direction
of Glen Eastburn, Omaha Chamber Of
Commerce commissioner. These will

commerce throughout the territory.

know there has never been any
trouble between workers who
went to supply depots for their
supplies.
The amazing thing is that this
policy is such a thorough depar-
ure from all that experience has
shown. For years the county has
masntained supply depots. White
and Negro, Mexican and Orien-
tai workers, are accustomed to
seeing each other at these stores.
Certainly no objections have ever
been made.
The harsh truth is that LACR
officials are bent on separating
the races. Just as they have
drawn the color line in forbid
ding Negro case workers to pay
professional visits on white ap-
p[icantS, so they now move to
split up the workers themselves.
By instituting that policy they
have taken a tremendous step for
ward toward tanning the flame
and perpetuating racial animos-
ity.
OF course, the order is destined
10 work a hardship on many work
ers, both black and white. For in
stance, if a Negro worker lives
closer to a store to which whites
go ne may be required to 60 far
out Of his way to another "Negro
s ore" The white worker may
find himself in the same position.
The stores are being located in
various districts and one will.
probably be located in the Negro
section. Whether it will be man
ned by Negroes or not has not
yet been decided. There is a DOS
sibility that it will be. That would
follow the LACR tradition of in
stitu,ing a completely separate
set-up for the Negro people.
Drive To Keep Workers Apart
Of course, LACR did not invent
this separation policy. 1t has been in
vogue in Los Angeles, and other parts
Of the nation, for many years. Es-
sentiallu it is part of that fierce and
determined drive to keep workers
apart.
And if LACR authorities can be
credited with persistence in playing
their role in separating the races thew
