here last week with members Of
the organization.
The conclave will be limited to
less than two days, in contrast to
the four days, at Christmastime,
which it has usually consumed, and
the frills and frivolities of prewar
days will be even more limited, At
torney Johnson stated.
The November dates have been
set, he Continued, to avoid a later
holiday period when all travelling
would be more at a permium; SIM
ilarly, St. Louis was chosen because
it is situated close to the import
ant midwestern cities where the
fraternity is most strongly located.
Because Of the limited social pro-

stead Of the large number of non

BETTER BUSINESS BUREAUS
PLAN CENTRAL HDQTRS.

At the 29th Annual Conference
of the National Association of Bet
ter Business Bureaus, held in O.
maha, Nebraska, delegates adopt
ed unanimously a resolution call
ing for the creation of a central
promotional office. With the AS
sociation now comprising eighty
three Better Business Bureaus and
Better Business Bureau Divisions
of Chambers of Commerce through
out the United States and Canada,
the delegates to the Omaha Confer
ence thought the time had come
to maintain a central office with
paid staff to handle national pub
licity, promote and assist Bureaus
in the preparation of educational
material and etc.
Many other constructive steps
for the betterment of the service
of Better Business Bureaus were
adopted. among which was a def
mite plan to protect the public's
investment in War Bonds, from
swindlers and racketeers, during
the present and postwar periods.
1t was vividly recalled that follow
ing the last war, when Better Bust
ness Bureaus were in their infancy
many unsuspecting holders of Lib
erty Bonds were the victims of
swindlers, who made a killing by
selling many dubious investment
promotions. The delegates vowed
that this would not happen again.
More than half the discussion of
the Conference was devoted to war
time and postwar problems of Bet
ter Business Bureaus and business
in general
Mr.. Mark Ferree, Business Man
ager of the Indianapolis Times,
was elected National Chairman.
George H. Dennison of Pittsburgh
was reelected President.

executives.

One day, Mr.. Nebane sat on his
backsteps and looked at his small
cock, trying to think. eff meat is
going to be short" he thought, !.
II Gould increase my flock"
That was just the thing; meat
was going to be short, and every
chicken he could raise would be
needed. About that time a new
farm agent, Howard Edwards,
came into the community. He was
enthusiastic about raising poultry.
One day he took look at Texas
chicken goal. Why, it called for
40 million chickens. Edwards got
busy talking with farmers and city
folks who had backyard flocks, en-
couraging them to raise more chic
kens. Finally Farm Agent Edw-
ards got the colored people of Tar
rant county to set a goal of 500, 900
chickens.
One of the first backyard flock
owners Edwards talked with was
Mr.. Nebane. With the farm agents
technical assistance, Mr.. Nebane
thought he would increase his flock
considerably. 1t wasn't easy hold
ing down the custodial job and rails
ing chickens too, but Mr.. Nebane
liked it because it was helping 10
win the war. His flock gradually
increased from a few thousand TO
thousands. Already this year he
sold 5000 chickens and has plenty
more on the yard.
