ATLANTA CHS STATION BANS
ANTI-RIOT BROADCAST

Atlanta, Aug. 3 amp A sample
of the hush policy in the matter of
lettering racial relations adopted
by many southern newspapers and
radio stations was shown Saturday
night when radio station WGST re-
fused to carry its regularly SEIZED
uled Columbia B-roadcasting sys-
tenn program, Man Behind the
Gun. Decision of the local station
to substitute dance records for the
80 minute network program appar-
entity grew out Of the fact that
Saturdays program dealt with Y
posing dangers of race hatred IN
America.
The program, featuring commen-
tary on the race relations issue by
Wendell Willkie, was Completely
cut off. The station received so
many calls from listeners, it was
necessary for the announcer to as
sure the public that Man Behind
the Gun would not be heard until
next Saturday.

result of a bitter court battle over
the issue during the last term of
court, the board Of county comm
issioners for the first time in the
memory of most residents last week
placed the names of Negroes in
the jury box.
Judge Ernest Mason severely
criticized Atty. Bert Lane, white,
for raising the Negro juror issue
during a murder trial at the last
term of court. Judge Mason's con-
tentions was that it would cost the
county too much money to in

box from which juries are selected.
Mr.. Lane cited that failure to in

What about the 100 Nebraska
Power emloyees in the armed fore
es fighting for their jobs and their
homes?" asked Sam w. Reynolds,
past president of the Omaha Cham
Der of Commerce, in an address
last week on the question of pol1t-
ical ownership of the power comp
any. He urged the people Of On
aha not to break faith with these
employees and other Omaha men
serving their country.
Maybe they will want those Jobs
when they come home, and want
those jobs left just as they were
not turned into political jobs"
Reynolds said. What about all the
thousands of other Omaha boys in
the service. This is their town.
They are coming home to live and
work here. Maybe they have some
ideas as to what kind of a city
they want"
After getting a good look at gov
eminent ownership of industry in
Germany, Italy and Japan, Reyn-
Odds said he believes Omahans
now in the armed forces will want
to retain the old-fashioned Amer.
lean way of private enterprise.
Surely they are entitled to a
voice in the matteor," he said. ITO
s~ocialize n of Omaha's biggest
industries while they are out fight
ing and have no vote certainly
would be breaking faith with them.
Reynolds pointed to the effect
of complete political control of the
electrical industry in Nebraska
that would result if Nebraska Pow

NINA TO SPONSOR RADIO
SHOW FOR RACIAL GOODWILL

Chicago, Aug. 2 (ANP) Delegates
to the 23rd annual convention Of
the National Negro Insurance as
ISOLATION that recently closed here
unanimously approved a plan for
a series of radio program on a ma
tionwide hookup to foster better
race relations. Booker T. Brad
shaw, the newly elected president,
was authorized to set up a comm
ittee on arrangements.
The programs will feature the
most popular artists and outstand-
ing speakers Of both the white and
Negro race, and will be financed
by funds solicited Jointly from pol
icyholders and insurance compaG-
les.
1.-THE officers of the insurance
companies realize that in case of
riots and disturbances the loss of
life to the Negro is always ex-
tremely heavy, therefore they feel
that they should do verything
within their power to protect the
lives of theirp olicyholders and the
property Of many Of those to whom
the companies have made loans in
the form of mortgages.
I'VE believe that such a program,
featuring the best artists in the
race and the liberal thinking men
both of our race and the white
race, could do much to bring about
a better feeling, and if it resulted
in the saving of a single life it
would be 0 than worthwhile"

Lent
On Wednesday OF last week
we entered the season OF Lent.
When we go back and study the
persons and events of the first
Lenten season, we see at once
that there was a great battle on,
not an ordinary battle, but a
battle OF principles.
What was it all about? 1t was
not n battle for commercial or
political supremacy, 1t was not
n battle for some strip OF coun-
try. It was the battle of the ages
for the souls and lives OF men.
This battle was fought and won
for us by Jesus Christ, the Cap
tain of our salvation. That is
the lesson of Lent.
What Shall We DO
God having done so much
for us, expects us by His grace,
to be doing something for our
selves. And what God wants
and has a right to expect OF us
is progressive holiness of life.
Shall we disappoint our God?
Many rather feebly wish to
realize the Christian life more
fully, but they are afraid to
make real attempt. We excuse
ourselves by saying there is no
use trying. Old habits hold us
in their spell. We become salts
fled with inadequate moral
achievement.
Let us strive to rid ourselves
OF his spirit Of moral defeatism
There are no limits to the power
of God in human lives-none
except the resistance or inert
ness of human wills. st. Paul
learned this. Therefore he
could say: Il can do all things
through Christ who strengthen
eth me-" philippians 4,13.
Lenten Services at 1880
every Sunday Evening.
During the Lenten Season
Let Us:
/. Family Devotions.
Hold family devotion each
day, reading a portion OF our
Lords Passion history as re-
corded by the four Evangelists.
2. Daily Prayers.
Pray daily for ourselves, for
our pastor, for the Kingdom of
God, and for someone who is
still unsaved and unchurched.
3. Lenten Offerings.
Lay aside from our daily OF
weekly earnings an offering for
the Lord and bring it to Gods
house as a special sacrifice.
4. Lenten Services.
Attend the special Lenten
Services, which are being held
every Sunday night at 1880 and
carry out our missionary obliga-
ton by bringing friend or
neighbor.
May God grant us all full
measure of His divine grace
especially during this Lenten
season. May He help us to meet
the challenge OF Lent with n
more consecrated life, a more
faithful discipleship, and a more
prayerful walking with God.

David and other great Biolicai
characters failed, being weak OF

grew their successes. He pleaded
with the people TO visit their

was bare to accept the opportu-
nifty God offers to each, to try
again, the chance to renew our
strength and labor for Him.

Points of interest:
/. God makes all of us Under
Shepherds to help Him look
after His Sheep.
II. Not many OF us Chris
tians) are interested in our
brothers. welfare.
III. Why is God so concerned
about His lost Sheep?
/. God loves His sheep with
an everlasting love.
Q. His sheep are feeble,
weak and blind. He died for
them.
4. He wants them to be
with Him and under His tender
care.
6. He feeds clothes and pro-
tects us.
w. How do some Sheep get
lost.
l. BY grazing too far in the
field OF sin; too far from the

Q. They tarry too far be-

V. What dangers are they ex-
posed to when lost.
/. Exposed to ferocious
beasts to destroy them.
