next street There's Just Kind OF linment that
will take out the ache and the soreness and that's
the old reliable liniment, which our .daddles used
back during Reconstruction, called unity. There's
Just way TO pitch him of, and that's for all Of
us TO pitch together.
Now. some Of you brothers can rightly say that
all that sounds very fine but that I'm a white man
who can throw on the burden quicker than any
black man. Which is true and nobody but double
crosser would deny it.
Therefore think that some OF my friends among
the Southern Negro leadership are showing good
hard sense when they ask the Southern whites who
profess to be in sympathy with tho colored mans
fight for the ballot TO test themselves It's not the
way that you talk but the way that you hack IN
your talk which counts for democracy down here

Postwar Negro Business

While business men and women of other
racial groups are making postwar plans for
launching new business ventures and eX-
panding old ones. many wise business people
of our oNn race are doing likewise. This is
particularly true IN Detroit Here number
of coloted business concerns are expanding
and new entepises are beng started
One of the most hopeful outlooks for
Negro business in Detroit is the fact that
members of the race are pooling their money
in business ventures In steadily increasing
numbers They have learned that there is
strength iii cooperation and that several per-
sons pooling their resources together can ac-
complish business success which would be

sas as #A PUBLIC HEALTH < NBR5 R5INGDAYl5
 SET FOR FRIDAY

Next Friday. January 26, Juneau will celebrate the first National Public Health Nursing Day, and the city, true to its progressive spirit, is cooperating.
 Local business concerns are help ing the public health nurses to interpret their program to the community.
 This type of nursing service which includes School Nursing, h. dustrial Nursing and nursing spon- sored by Federal, Territorial or local Health Departments, although relatively new to Juneau, has gone forward with great strides. Nursing service of this kind is being found not only useful but necessary all over the world. In the urban tena- ments of New York, the mountains of Kentucky, the frontier land of Alaska and elsewhere all over the globe, public health nurses are translating into practice almost every phase of Public Health. Child hygiene, maternity service, vene- real disease and tuberculosis con- trol, home and community santa ton programs are only a few oI the services which-if they are to function effectiyely-must have the guidance and assistance of nurses
 Public Health Nurses, in order to function in such broad areas must necessarily have special pre- paration. They are graduate, regis tered nurses with additional train ing in the various phases of health education.
 Public Health Nurses week started January 18 and ends witt Nursing Day on Friday. All this week program of interpretation has been going on through a diff ferent media and the use made of funds through the Presidents Birthday drive in the Crippled SAlAAAA Cii Q PiO6l uAii iAdo bCSAi uoAA
 Last night, the USO dedicated the weekly quiz show to National Public Health Day through cour- tesy of Director zack Gordon.
 The B. M. Behrends Store has donated windows for use as a dis play, for Public Health Nurses. Es Other business establishments, in- scfudiing the Baranof Hotel, Juneau Drug Store and Poor's Drug Store in Douglas, have given space for posters depicting the activities of the Public Health Nurse.
 Juneau has always supported Public Health Nursing in the past and it is hoped that this Public Health Nursing Day will tend to further focus it's attention upon the value of the Public Health Nurse as front line defender and promoter of health.
