ing the torrid weather a clever manu.
facturer has combined q large table
with an equally large circulating fan.
The fan is located under the table
with its blades, the new quiet kind,
spread out horizontally. Atop the
blades to keep ones feet from getting
ground to bits is located q deflector
which also distributes the air blown
out by the fan. The shape Of this
defiector permits the even distribution
Of air, so that there will be no drafts
or Objectionable noises. Around the
blades Of the fan Is located a wire
mesh screer. guard and air intake, so
that there IS no chance Of ladies'
dresses suddenly being pulled in on
the fan and being ripped of uncere-
moniously.
The table top which surmounts this
piece OF ingenuity is removable, so
that 1t can be used as tray to bring
refreshments back and forth to people
being cooled by the fan end of the
business. The whole unit is attrac-
lively finished in brown and ivory
and should find many places where it
Will NIL a long-felt need around the

part of the city's ten-year plan.
1t is a PWA project.
The contract for the center was

tract calls for the completion of
the building in 100 days, which
means that the center will be
ready for use in February.
No skilled Negro labor will be
used in the construction of the
new building, but unskilled Negro
labor will be employed in tearing
down the old swimming pool stru-
cture, H. T. Healing, Urban Lea
que industrial secretary, learned
from the contractor. The old swim
ming pool will be RACED under the
supervision Of the city park board.

CITES REFUSAL or STOLINSN
TO Be STOOGE

Five hundred persons at a JOS
eph Stolinski-for-assessor rally at
the Elks Club Thursday night
heard Robert X. Troyer, attorney
says Stolinski was nce offered the
assessors job but turned it down
rather than be a stooge for the
courthouse gang"
Troyer cited Stolinski's 81 years
service in the assessors office
under both republican and demo-
cratic assessor, working his way
up from office boy to chief dep
uty.
He said Stolinski was offered
tho assessors job when Sam X.
Greenleaf died and added:
at was offered to him on a plat
ter by Uncle Charlie Burns, them
the courthouse boss. Stolinski told
Uncle Charlie he would not be a
stooge for the courthouse gang
and turned it down. Stolinski chose
to sacrifice himself rather than be-
tray his eaered trust to the tax
payers. If that isn't sufficient
proof the man is trustworthy, then
deliver me from ever trying to get
a man with a career into office.

Malcolm Baldrige, Chairman Of the

Statement to Colored Voters
YESTERDAY

an the Battle of November g

| Court House mess, there is only one
issue-and that issue is Decent
Government for Douglas County
Democrats and Republicans viii
limo up side by side to accomplish
tins.
II is IN old political trick to
try to confuse the issues in a cam
paign of his kind-to throw up a
1smoko ~screer." Already the Court
House "gangs are doing this. They
arc trying to throw up the smoke
screen of party lines'-they are
trying to confuse the issue with
loyilty to political party.
but the colored people Of Omaha
anil Douglas County will not be
misled by such political trickery
They will see such a move for
just what It really is-an attempt
to distract their attention from
the real issue in the case-Decent
government in their Douglas Coun-
ty Court House-and avert their
attention and confuse them.
The colored people of Omaha are
just as anxious to have the Court
House mess cleaned up as anyone
else. They want decent government
back in our Court House. They
know We have not had decent gov
eminent for 4 years. And they
know why. The present Court
House gang" is the reason-and
the only reason.
And now this same Court House
crowd comes back to us once more
on November 8 and asks us TO
give them a chance to continue
their political plunderingr" But
they will not be given that chance.
W. r not SO ignorant or so long
suffering that such grave misman-
agcment of our County govern
mental affairs will be permitted &c
continue forever. Now We have q
chance to let them know just how
much we resent their wasting OF
our tax-money.
The colored people of Omaha will
not be fooled by political trickery
The court HOUSE GANG
MUST co! There is only ONE IS
SUE-Decent government in oui
Douglas County Court House. The
only way decent government car
return to Douglas County is fol
the colored people to join hand'
