BISHOP NOAH w. WILLIAMS
INV III ID. Wheelerl

To those who were fortunate
to hear Bishop Noah W. Williams
Sunday at st. John AME. church,
were given an opportunity TO hear
and see a man whose position am
ong men of the world is the re-
suit of the very philosophy which
he impaired to his audience. Said
he, Never do just what you are
paid to do. Always do a little bit
more". Such a display of iniat-
i've not only broadens the individ-
ual but awakens him to realize de-
finite needs of service around
him. 1t is one of Gods ways in
unfolding latent possibilities in
one. Such a way may seem out of
the way and unnecessary, but it
always leads to higher heights.
As an example of the type of
leadership which Negroes are in
need of, Bishop Williams cited
Richard Allen, the father of the
AME. church. Richard Allen had
been a slave. He had saved up
$1,000 in continental money,
bought his freedom and started
the AME. church. He was only
81 years old, but he followed that
course of activity for which he
felt he had been called. His ex-
p~eriences were exceedingly trying.
We need more "self-help" eS-
pressed among us. We need more
astick-to-it" in our endeav9rs.
The ideal we must always have.
1t is our Light. 1t is expressed
in the God Spirit which must per-
wade our entire lives. At unex-
pected and diverse places and tim
es God reveals Himself to man as
He did to Abraham, Isaac, jacob
Richard Allen and many other lea
| ders.
Bishop Williams said that as fan
F, as set-backs are concerned, they
are only steps towards our object
i've. We NEED a definite exper'
fence in our lives to jar us unit
we come to our senses.
Our youth continued the BishoI
must prepare itself thoroughly
not only for white collar jobs but
for Vocational and Technical jobs
There can be no pretense, no gett'
ing by. We must produce thu
goods. Youth must realize tina
the humblest labor in life is dign
flied.
In conclusion, Bishop William
said that the whole organizes
force of the Church must /,
thrown open to young people.
Omaha welcomes Bishop Noal
w. Williams and can only expires
appreciation of his most timel,
messages by saying, CONE A

THE PEOLE'S CAFE

A type of Cafe much needed fer
youth of community. One cannot
find in the city a more sanitary
place to dine than at the Peoples
Cafe, Zig North Oath st. It not
only offers tasty food, but furn-
ishes employment to five very
capable individuals.
Mrs. T. A. Sears has contribut-
ed something to the community
that can do much in lessening the
delinquency of youth. Says Mrs.
Sears:
81 wanted to have my cafe a
wholesome, clean place for Oma-
hans to sit, eat and chat.

WHAT OTHERS
SAYS
COMMITTEE At LARGE

In my opinion you cannot defend
that which you don't own. Can
you defend or protect or give pro-
portion of defense on borrowed
rights? Borrowed protection is
that which is solicited, or beggtd
of a person or group of persons
that or who have pooled his or
their resources to maintain a sus-
tanence for themselves and their
posterity and build shelter comm
unities in which to live.
Notice % persons have signed
their name and title as defense

has sought to establish a founda-
ton which must be a capital any
legal organization must have a I'm.

icle show any achievement that n
has done that has built a founda
ton of an institution of self sup
port for those he seeks to claim Il
elevate?
a. Parasites always want larg'
er bodies to suck on. A winner
never knocks and a knockers new

knock and a knocker is too busy
to win. Be winners.
65) Ingratitude is one of tht
worst things one can practice, 81
to you who are employed be ap-
preciative and win higher places
don't "toady' for no one.
go The writer of this article
does not believe in his theories
Proof a few years ago walked by
a building owned by a member of
his group, to sue a man of anoth-
er group for not wanting him
there. Again there was an insti-
tuition employing persons of his
group from operator, stage, CASH
Ter and all showing same product.
He walks by this institution to be
denied admission to part he chose
and then tried suit.
90 If this writer believed in
merit system why not put it into
practice by employing his group
around his home and other places
and pay high wages instead of
chiseling.
His reports remind me of an old
pulpiteer Jake w. once he lived in
an old mill pond by a mill a group
of frogs who used the old signal
bug noise of the mill as a guile
as when they came up to the top
after a nights sleep.
One morning as they started for
the top they heard a boom and u
splash so back to the bottom they
went. After so long they came To
gether to discuss plans of how To
find out what had happened, So
they may go to get some fresh air
or else they would all die. So a
committee was selected to go to
the top and with the frog lawyer
as the group chairman, this group
went slowly to the top. with the
chairman behind as they arrived
at the top. Lastly he crept up
and on to the dam and with a sud
den plunge he was back in the wa
ter. The other froggies follow
ed then to the bottom they went.
All the frogs came around to hear
the news.
Chairman made the report, We
your committee went to the top as
ordered and beg leave to submit
the following report: We saw a
dam by a mill site. But we did
not see a mill by a dam site.
What he said was true but he
did not go far enough to see why
the mill was not there or what
happened. So one by one the
died until there was noG a
in the pond.
So would say to you who are
think deep and let no
one who cannot feed himself, lead
you. Your judgement has kept
you on the job this long in my
opinion, you best stay where your
judgement says.

wise there are just a group OF pee

farm community, factory anc
state, by doing this you will get

start a nice produce business
which farm could employ 5 rural

small homes complete and neat

No great ship is built on the o.

Why not stop riding on the sea

with a home-homes are not built
on borrowed land. Tax sales max

first.
To committee at large: Both
have said to me in person that eff
ficiency and qualifications meant
nothing in selecting one to fill
vacancies in positions and so long
these principles are held by
these pennie grabbers, hopeless is
it to prepare efficient people for
positions coming up in the govern
ment of this state or nation. Re-
one of this committee said
in regard to a position in agricult-
ure department which had been
efficiently filled by n of our
group for 8 years and whom the
State of Nebraska had accepted
his qualifications in so much as 10
give extension course to same for
greater efficiency, which he made
good but this small, sized paper
and leech that preys upon
the ignorance and sympathy of
his group, forgets all this and
asks dismissal of this employee
This is not gossip-this is
straight from the shoulder. This
same parasite has leeched many
so why follow anyone that can't
defend himself. This in my opin-
ion is the reason for being a
committee at large, so as not to re
held responsible for what happens.

CROSBY SWIMMERS MEET MANCHESTER

On Saturday, February 15, Cros- by's fast-moving swimming squad, which to date show seasons rec ord of four victories and no defeats, takes on a somewhat weakened Manchester team at the Crosby pool. Last year the Manchester splashes bowed in 8 close contest to the Ivy swimmers Tn other words they made it a bit torrid for the local combine. chiefly through the efforts of Orfetelle, their ace diver, who ranged second only to the De- vald of Hartford Public. Domenic Spallone, Crosby's own, was third ranking among the Nutmeg divers. Orfetelli defeated Dom" in their own personal battle last year and Crosby's suave splasher is out to avenge this defeat on the Manches- ter team as whole this season.
 Crosby shouldn't have too much trouble with Manchester, although they are strong in the $50" and "l00". They possess two standout performers in Alan Burlington and John Simpson.
 The Crosby squad looked like a strong, well-oiled machine against Warren Harding last week and con- tinues to prove itself e worthy con- tender for the state scholastic champlonship.

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 14-CUP)- Lou Ambers, former worlds light weight champion who hasn't swung kayo by Lew Jenkins eight months a mitt on an opponent since his ago, starts on the comeback trail tonight in a 1O-roundbout with Nor ment Quarles of Richmond, Va.
 Ambers was scheduled for re- turn bout with Jenkins late this month at New York, and tonight's bout was understood to be try out for the event. Ambers probably will weigh in close to the welter- weight division, and if his early comeback efforts are successful, he
 Marty Servo, Schenectady, N. Y. probably will fight in that division fighter who has ben in the army for year, resumes his ring career in & Hereunder with Mitsos Gris- pos, Greek lightweight. Servo, like Ambers, is managed by Al Weill.

 Off His Game
 Bozeman was befuddled and missed many shots, leaving good setups for the champion. He had a high run of seven, scored in the 24th inning, but even at his best he had hard luck for he fouled after the run and lost one point.
 Schaefer earned the right to tie for the championship when he beat Alien Hall of Chicago, 50 to 29 in 53 innings. Hall took the lead early in the match but Schaefer caught up with him in the eighth inning when he evened the score at four and then scored run of four in the ninth to take the lead he never relin- quished during the rest of the match.

New York, Feb. 14-(UP)-A new National Hockey league record for consecutive unbeaten games be- longed to the tlrst-place Boston Bruins today.
 The Bruins defeated the forme, record holders, the New York Rangers, 5-3, in Madison Square Garden last night to run their rn- beaten string to 20 straight games
 Highest scoring team in hockey, the Bruins scored once in each ot the first two periods and then topped off their splurge with three goals in the final period to sew ur the win and run their season scor- ing to 126 goals.

BY JOE WILLIAMS

Sebring, Fla, Feb. 14-There are any number of effective ways to be- come the perfect bore. One is to talk about the current glamour girl. Another is to discuss what effect Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.'s opin- ions have had on the administra- tion's sociol-economic policy. And still another is to get real serious about amateurism.
 We find ourselves trying to make the all-bore team (perhaps we should say agaim by reason of the tennis chiefs latest list of policing regulations. These are calculated to regulate the public life of the amateur. They stipulate how many tournaments he may play in and still remain pure. They tell him what he may or may not do in the matter of receiving bats and balls or the cuff from manufacturers. They point out very firmly that it is a felony to accept any dough from anybody, especially tall, dark strangers with foreign accents.
 In short, the moral code attempts to regulate everything about the players life except the manner in which he parts his hair and whether he should take lemon or cream with his tea.
 Amateurs in tennis usually fall into three classifications: CD the guy with rich pappy who always knows where his next yacht is com- ing from and therefore is not inter- ested in chiseling; CD the earnest mediocre who is needed to fill the cast but is not important enough to attract dough on the side; (3) the headliner, without whom the show could not be a box office suc- cess and whose commercial in- stincts have sharpened in propor- ton to his fame.
 Healthier Headaches
 The tennis chiefs have never had any trouble with the first two classifications. The rich guy has nothing else to do but play tennis. The earnest mediocre is only too happy to get away from book keepers desk to Day with all ex- penses paid. It's the headliner who creates the headache.
 It can be a he, she or wen ar 1t. Most of them know how impor- tant they are to the success of any touycament, so in one way or an-
