FANS GIFT TO STAR
is REAL TARANTULA

A little boy in Arizona thought
he was paying a great compliment
to his favOrite film star. but the
mail department at M-G-M was
thrown into a panic.
The first time Robert Taylor was
on location in Arizona for his new
starring vehicle, Billy the Kid" he
met lad who had lived in Arizona
all his life and knew much of it's
lore. Taylor has become very much
interested in the stage, so he and
the kid would talk for hours. Just
before the company left. the kid
told the star he was going to send
him present.
The gift arrived at the studio.
Taylor is on location in another
part Of Arizona and the mail de-
partment is stuck with an enormous
tarantula in a bottle The lad wrote
that it was very fine specimen
but that doesn't do any good. What,
everyone wonders, does one do with
a tarantula?

w. M.-Tell me how come the
boy that goes with my daughter
tells her one thing and do anoth-
er. Have he love for her like he
claims?
Ans: Not as much as he claims
If he did, he wouldn't forever
disappoint her and make her un-
happy. I honestly believe there
is another girl in his life and your
daughter should not take him too
seriously. Tell her to get hec an
other beau to.
G. M have been offered a
trip and wish to know if l should
go and would it hold anything in
the future for me?
Ans: If you make the trip =
you would be expected to stay
permanently. / am sure that 5ou
will be able to find something
right there in your home town
that would appeal to you mora
than the trip that has been offer
ed you. There is more behind the
trip than has been exposed.
T. B. M.-You are my unseen
friend and | am writing for help.
Do he love me. and do l love shim
and do we love each other ?
Ans: There's love in the air al
right and you two seem to be-
wrapped up in one another. The
month of June is going to be too
much for you two love birds--in-
dications are that you may decide
to get married.
A. H. K.-I have been working
at this service station for 3 years
and the mar hasn't ever been able
to pay me my whole salary. Now
l have a wife and two babies and ]
need every penny that l earn. Tell
me if l should quit this job?
Ans: Indeed you must. Make
the rounds at various filing stat
ions in your city and try to get a
job before quitting the one you
have. If you are able to find
something, tell the man you are
working for that you must quit
and the reason for quitting. 1t
seems to me that you would have
no trouble whatever finding a job
as you are experienced in your
line.

M. P. D.-Tell me if l should go
ahead and marry this man and
would he be true to me? l want a
home very bad and l want to be
happy when l do get married.
Ans: Do not marry this fellow
right now. He has had an affair
with another woman the whole
time you two have been going to-
gether and he wouldn't live true
to you after marriage if ne doesn't
now. l suggest that you look a
round for another companion--one
at least who doesn't have to share
his time with other girls.

COMMUNITY CENTER AND
PLAYGR0UNDS-A GROWING
NEED
Race Men and Women Must
Invest In Essential Projects
For Betterment of Youth
It is past time for race men
and women of Omaha to realize
that we are not going to feel the
whole-hearted respect from white
neighbors until We own more hom-
es, businesses and have a suffic-
ient number of Community cent
ers to keep youth from the streets
and to offer more of a SPECIAL
training to young mothers and
older adults. We need to sacrif-
ice something from our personal
pleasures in order to build much
needed structures for Community
purposes. The Urban League and
future Centers are just as vital
for race development as the
Church and school.
Many interests that were offer
ed in homes years ago are no long
er present. The new and old in
terests are found in taverns Of
all descriptions, night clubs, thea
tres, improvised street play
grounds, summer camps, and in
the world of sports for girls and
boys. Not even the radio can
keep youth home. The new free
dom and equality of girls and boys
the new outside interests for "a
dults, and the economic setup have
produced many new problems to-
day.
Most of the problems can be adj
justed through the establishment
of several not just one, Comm
unity Centers. Negro boys and
girls need wholesome play. They
need Fairgrounds supervised by
competent advisers.
Race men and women can own
their own centers, if they can see
now that a few dollars pooled to-
gether, will establish memorials
to youths andad ults of the future.
Let us build something worth
while. Something of which we as
Omaha Negroes will be proud. We
can do it. Let US begin now with
the purchase of the Urban League
building.

you that if you put your brother
under the competent care of a good
doctor and try to get him in the
State Institution for the Insane,
every possible thing will be done
to help bring him back to normal.

REMEMBER THE HANDICAP
PED IN OUR MIDST


AS a result of our nationwide
program Of Defense there is grave
danger of many of our weaker
citizens being forgotten or push
ed aside because they are not able
to fit into the program. The hand
icapped people of our city must be
taken care of. There is a con-
structive plan for doing this in
operation in the Goodwill Indus
tries of Omaha. Handicapped PEG
Pile are given employment and
paid wages out of the income of
articles which they repair or re-
condition. At this time of the
year when you are finding articles
such as shoes, furniture, clothing,
paper, magazines, pieces of metal
and other articles which seem use
less to you, remember that if these
are turned over to Goodwill In
dustries they will make Opport-
unity Wages for some needy per-
son.
Why not get together a large a
mount of such materials and call
the Goodwill today. The number
is At. 1909. In sending your art
icles to the Goodwill Industries
you will be helping handicapped
people to earn self-respective wag-
es rather than to go without the
necessities of life or to have to
ask for charity"

there for US together?
Ans; Both you and your husp-
and realize the direct cause for
your unhappiness and you must
make a change if you expect to
live together. 1t won't be neces-
sary for you to hurt his mothers
feelings if you get out and find a
place of your own. Talk it over
with her and let her know that
you prefer living alone and she
will be welcome to visit with you,
although you do not want to live
with her all the time. She will
