What Is Segregation?

Segregation is the special Amer
lean means of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of In
feriors in public status.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality Of citi-
zenship, of freedom Of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial OF
presence and of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as having been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn Of
civil society.
at is a very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves to aid and abet the idea by
self-segregation."

WISE SAYINGS

1t is better to be reckless and alive
than resigned and dead.
Every woman in the world has some
thing physically desirable about her.
1t is better to be fool in Paradise
than a gentleman in hell.

Nebraska Campus
Becomes Film Set

The campus of the University Of
Nebraska, located at Lincoln, Neb.,
became a motion picture stage when
a camera crew swung into action
to make background shots for
"Cheers for Miss Bishop" which
Richard A. Rowland is producing
for United Artists release Heading
the cast are Martha Scott, William
Gargan. Edmund GWenn, Dorothy
Peterson, Mary Anderson, Donald
Douglas, Marsha Hunt and Sidney
Blackmer, with Tay Garrett di-
recting.
Bess Streeter Aldrich, who wrote
the novel on which Producer Row
land has based his screenplay, lives
near Lincoln and actually used the
University of Nebraska as a pat
tern for the mythical Midwestern
University, which is the locale of
the story.
In recent conferences with Pro-
ducer Rowland, Mrs. Aldrich Sug-
gested that the university grounds
serve as a pattern for the film back
ground. The idea was readily &C
cepted and Rowland dispatched to
Lincoln his camera crew, in charge
of Val Paul, production manager.
Buildings photographed on the cam
pus will also be duplicated for
scenes made in Rowland's Holly
wood studios.

of a whole hierarchy of clergy in
screen matrimony is not regarded
as justifying wiley saying straight
out, at the proper time, that there's
going to be an-heir in the family.
Nor an heiress. She has to be coy

be more comic when one is aware of
the necessity behind it.
The scene in which Reuter- dis
covers the Reuters are about to be
three takes place in the office in
London. Mr.. and Mrs. Reuter- are
sitting there discussing a name for
the new wire news service they are
about to start. The discussion goes
like this:
She-Since news is to be our
business from now on, we should
include the word news" in our
name.
He-Yes, Reuters News Agency,
or something like that.
She-Somcthing like that. And
the head of the Reuters news
agency or exchange, or whatever
we call it, should be right up on
the news, shouldn't he?
He-As much as possible
She-(sOlemnly) Then here's
the first item to be recorded in
the history of the new Reuters.
1t is not unusual, in fact it is
rather ordinary, but it always
seems to create slight stir.
He-Cpuzzlcd) What is it?
She-We have it from a most
reliable source that Julius Reuter-,
president and founder of Reuters
