gone back on us. When they had
been printed, Williston was on the
river, but in 1918 "Old Muddy" had
decided 10 try out a new channel
and left the town flat.
We made our landing at the first
farm below the bridge and the
owner readily assented to our leav-
ing our boat and equipment there
as long as we wanted to. This time
we brought the canoe up on the
bank and even dashed ii. Our ex-
perience Of the day before, when
the river had nearly taken the boat
off bank we had thought i'm
pregnable. had taught us a lesson
in mooring.
Our friends of the day before
were to meet us at the bridge and
take us into town, but, with the
added current from the Yellow
stone, we had made the 2s-mile
run in just short of four hours. in
stead of the expected six.
Check Is Missed
There was nothing to do but
hitch-hike in and. as usual. luck
was with us. The first car we
hailed stopped and after wrapping
ourselves around a couple of
trunks, two old men. and crate
of grapefruit, we finally made our
selves comfortable after a fash
ion. At any rate they got us into
the town.
Right there our troubles began.
First we picked up our mail at
the postoffice and found out that
the check, for which we had despe-
rate need, had been returned be-
cause of the return in five days"
written on the envelope. Again we
had been duped by our greenhorn
schedule.
We had just q dollar and fifty
cents between us and a grub box
that was so empty Bob had ceased
to grumble whenever he had to
lift it. Even though we realized a
wire probably wouldn't reach the
right party in Tacoma until Mon
day morning, we spent 81 cents Of
our fortune on one.
Ride Is Thriller
Our next step was to hunt UP
the mayor Of Williston and present
our credentials, Realizing the hon
or of our own city was at stake,
we were careful not to ask for any,
thing, but we did intimate we were
along way from our equipment and
what little food we had. His

dition, it being Saturday afternoon.
and ready for anything, so we piled
into his car and away we went.
We didn't go fast, but neither
did we go in a straight line. The
mayor had his own ideas about how
much clearance to give a car as he
passed, but he never had the same
idea twice. On the turns there was
a definite lack of coordination.
And when we got down on that
bottomland road, with its hub-deep
ruts, and unexpected holes. there
was nothing to do but hang on

erhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
that the Executive Council at It's
mid-winter meeting, held at Miami,
Florida, in January granted the
Brotherhood jurisdiction over the
train porter.
Train porters, according to Mr.
Randolph, in various parts of the
country, have been requesting the
Brotherhood to accept them into
membership, for several years,
since they are entirely without pro-
lection, beiHg as it were a part of
railroad labor organization, nat
ional in scope.
In view of the decision of the
Executive Council to extend the
jurisdiction of the Brotherhood Of
Sleeping Car Porters, the only In
ternational railroad labor organiza-
ton eligible to practice and pre-
sent cases involving grievances and
claims of railroad employees before
and to the National Railroad Ad-
justment Board, will forthwith pro-
coed with a nationwide organiza-
ton campaign to bring the train
porters in to its fold, states Ran

YOU GAN HELP CORRECT
THE INJUSTICE

Tho cry of a great many people
of Omaha is that they are not
getting fair treatment from the
present administration. They would
like to know some name in which
they can correct this injustice. The
answer is very simple if they will
exercise their power at the pri-
maries on April 18th, for the selec-
ton of City Commissioners. Each
one will have every opportunity
to aid in the selection Of those
whom they feel viii give them a
better and more fair Oty admin
istration and make Omaha a city
in whilh they n glad TO live n.
One of the candidates who Is
offered you is J. P. Joel Dolan,
who has been a business man IN
Omaha practically his entire life.
He has always been identified with
every movement for the better
ment of all people of Omaha. He
is a married man with a family
and knows most of the problems OF
the mothers and fathers.
If Mr. Dolan is elected a City
Commissioner you can depend that
you will have a more friendly as
well as q more efficient admins
tration. He will use all his power
to provide better parks and play
grounds for both the grown-ups

that a great improvement can be
made in the fairness of giving
assistance and relief to the unfor-
tunate. There r thousands of
people in our city today who are
out of work and are extremely will
ing to accept any kind of labor
that will enable them to support
themselves and their families. Mr..
Dolan will make every effort to
create the employment that is need
ed through activity of the indus
tries which we have in Omaha to-
day and by bringing new indus
tries to Omaha that ear put these
idle people on their payroll.

WEEK or PRAYER
Ar BILLIARD UhI..

billiard University observed its
annual Week of Prayer April 1-5.
The observance began with a re-
treat held at Outside, WavelanG,
The Omaha guide., 1939-04-08

of Crispus Attacks, a Negro, who
was the first to give of his blood
for the liberation of the Thirteen
Colonies from the tyranny of King
George III?
But not only did the OAR turn
Marian Anderson down when she
their hall, but the Board of Edu-
applied for the privilege to sing in
cation of Washington, D. c. and
arm of the Federal Government,
grudgingly conceded her the OPP
portunity to sing in the auditorium
OF one of the white schools, with
q provise that it was to be under
stood as setting a precedent for
other Negroes to use. Piqued by
this left-handed insult, Howard
University, under whose aupices
the noted singer was to appear,
rejected the white public school
auditorium with the strings at
tached and has properly insisted
upon the right to use this auditor
ium as American citizens, without
reservations. Because of the en-
lightened position of Howard Uni
yersity on this question, the Board
of Education has withdrawn the
privilege of Marian Anderson to
sing in the school, apparently un-
der any condition.
1t is timely to observe in this
connection that the Marian Ander-
son Public School incident is the
direct, though bitter, fruit of a Sc
gregated school system, based up
on race and color, and it is the
smoke screen of seperate schools
with the President of the Board of
Education, Ballou, raised to con-
ceal his real motive of ace hatred.
OF course, the claim that the
denial of the auditorium of the
school for white children to Mar
ian Anderson, was in keeping with
the law of the District of Column
bia, is not only a poor excuse, but
a worse reason so far as social
justice tolerance and democracy are
concerned. @tw

lief are eligible to become tenants
workers and other families on re-
in low-rent housing projects now
being constructed in scores of cities
by local housing authorities with
the financial assistance of the Uni
ted States Housing Authority, was
reaffirmed, as a matter of USHA
policy last week in o leaflet pub
lished here by the USHA.
The leaflet, entitled "Rehousing
Relief Families" refutes q current
belief that the doors of these pro-
jects will be closed to relief fami-
lies. Such families will be accepted
az tenants provided they r
otherwise eligible and their oneom
either frmo work relief or from
direct home relief, is sufficient to
pay the low rents charged in these
projects.
at is the official policy of the
USHA to include relief families
in USHA aided projects the
leaflets asserts "USHA aided pre-
jects are open to all families who
are in the lowest income level, and
! who are not able to afford decent

come" according to the leaflet.
ITO bar relief families from low
rent housing projects merely be-
cause they are on relief would be
to ignore the housing needs of
a vast and deserving section of
the population"
However, steps will be taken to
! avoid filling any project with re-
lief tenants or with other families
of unsteady income. The final de-
termination of the proportion of
such families will depend upon To-
cal conditions.
Present estimates indicates that
shelter rents in USHA aided pro-
jects will range from 81 to $40
per month for a dwelling. Such
rents are within reach of the low
est paid WPA worker and r no
more than public welfare budgets
in many cities allot to relief clients
for shelter.

1t is now next to Impossible to
grow a good crop of cucumbers or
muskmelons in most parts of Ohio
without busting or spraying for the
control of bacterial wilt, declares j..
d. Wilson of the botany department
of the Ohio agricultural experiment

spot diseases are bad, some proyis-
ion must be made to control these
also adds DR. Wilson, or the plants
may be lost even though they are
brought through the period when
bacterial wilt infection may be Sc
we're.
Plants attacked by bacterial wilt
usually first show willing of one or
two leaves, soon followed by a wilt
ing of the whole vine. After the
whole vine has wilted, recovery does
not occur. Bacterial wilt is caused
by a bacterium that is spread from
plant to plant by the cucumber
beetles. After the bacteria find their
way into the system of the plant
they begin to multiply. After Pc
riod of about 10 days they become
numerous enough in the water-con-
Quoting tissue to obstruct the pas
sage of water from the roots to the
leaves. and willing follows.
In an effort to control bacterial
wilt, as well as some of the leaf spot
diseases of cucumbers and melons,
various dust formulas have been
tried during the past few years by
the botany department of the Ohio
agricultural experiment station.
Those which have given best results
contain a copper fungicide, some
sticking material like -four, and
small amount of an insecticide.
such as calcium arsenate. Such a
mixture has been found to flow well
through the ordinary hand duster
and to adhere we'll to the plants.
Dust mixtures may be prepared by
the individual who is to use them
or they may be purchased from var
ious companies in Ohio ready mixed
for use.
The basic formula is IL pounds

If the metallic copper content of the
copper used is SO percent, then 8
pounds of it are used in each 100
pounds of material and the tale or
clay is increased by pounds. Since
these dusts contain copper they also
afford protection against the leaf
spots which are likely to appear lat
er in the season After viinng, the
application period is usually in
creased to to 10 days and should
be continued until the cucumber
harvest is nearly finished or the
melons begin to ripen
