if an unknown person should come
to your door seeking a job of re
pairing your cutters in prepare
ton for winter, Rush Barns, act
ing manager of the Bureau said
today.
A number of complaints have
reached the Bureau regarding one
such dinividual who solicits gut
tering work, collects payment in
full after cleaning out the cutters
and promising to return and do
various repairs. Complaints have
stated the man does not return as
promised, and when they attempt
to locate him they learn that the
addresses given by him are false.
This person is believed to be the
same individual who was subject
of many complaints during the

CLOSES DENTAL
OFFICES HERE

DR.. Craig Morris, one Of Omaha's
leading respectable citizens who was
born reared and educated in Omaha,
has closed his dental Offices at oath
and Lake. And it is reliably reported
that he is moving to California, where
he will make his home indefinitely.
DR.. Craig Morris finished high
school in Omaha and graduated from
Dental School at Creighton Univer-
sity in 1912. He also took POSTCARD
uate courses in Minnesota and Cali
fornia.
Last year he was called to Califor-
MIA by a group Of dentists for the pur-
pose of teaching them a new bridge
technique. 1t is reliably reported that
he was paid the sum of seventy-fve
dollars per day and expenses for his
work there.
Last summer in 1945, a couple Of
young California dentists, one a for
mel Omahan, Mr.. Charlie Ennis flew
from California for additional infor-
nation from DR.. Morris on the new
bridge technique. Shortly thereafter
DR.. Morris went to California for a
six weeks stay. During the stay he
took special postgraduate courses at
the University of California and he
also made a survey of the colored ac-
tivitieS in Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
While in California DR.. Morris,
with a group Of 43 other dental stu
dents and out-of-town dentists took
the state board to practice dentistry
in the state of California.
1t is reported that DR.. Craig Nor
ris is the only applicable dentist of
the U. S. who has passed the State
Board, and it is reported that he is
moving to California for the purpose
Of teaching the new bridge technique
to the doctors of dentistry in Cali
fornia.
DR.. Morris will be missed in Omaha
for his sincere civic services, as well
as his dental clientele.
DR.. Morris was president Of the
Carver Building and Loan Association.
Also president Of the Douglas County
Negro Medical Society.
The Carver Building and Loan As
ISOLATION, of which he was president,
and which bought a building at oath
and Lake, has been in the process Of
remodeling the Office rooms. 1t is just
about completing the finishing touches
on their home. His work in the Car
yer Building has just about put the
association on a footing where it can
not fail.
The Provident Hospital is the or
%ganization that will deeply miss the
guidance Of DR.. G. Morris for it is
yet in its infancy. The Douglas
County Negro Medical Society with
the assistance of friends under DR..
Morris guidance has purchased a
sight for a hospital, and just a few

My dear Friends:
When | decided twenty-eight years
ago, to spend my life saving home
less, un wanted boys from becoming
misfts and recruits to the army of
crime, l felt sure the way to do it
was through love and kindness;
through training and teaching; and
through learning to do by doing. /
set out to do it with five boys, in a
rented house in Omaha.
Since then, as you know, more than
5000 homeless boys, frightened and
friendless, of every race and religious
creed, and from every section of the
country, have come to Boys Town,
where we have given them sympa-
thetic help and guidance.
During the past few years there has
been a constant increase in the num-
Der of young boys-boys of grade
school age = who have been left
homeless Some are orphans, the vic
tins of the war. Others are young
sters whom nobody wants. Either their
parents deserted them, or they were
so neglected and mistreated that
someone must provide for them be-
fore they get into trouble far beyond
their years.
So that these boys may be admitted
when they arrive at Boys Town, |
have completed plans and work has
been started to expand our facilities to
take care of 1000 boys from the first
grade through high school. The pan
Drama on the inside of this letter will
show you how Boys Town has grown
from our humble beginning, and how
it will look when our present building
program is completed.
You have helped me here at Boys
Town, my friends, provide all of the
facilities necessary for the training
and development of the hearts, minds
and bodies Of the underprivileged boys
Of America. Our schools train our
boys in the theory and practice Of
useful craftsmanship. Our self-govern-
ment program develops self-reliance
and patriotic service. Our religious
training develops the hearts of our
boys. Our musical organizations give
our boys the joy Of musical expression
and appreciation. And, our athletic
activities give every boy a chance for
wholesome play.
You have been very kind to my
boys, and | hope you will find it con-
venient to send me a contribution
now. 1t will help me ave the lives Of
more homeless, destitute boys who
will arrive at Boys Town, and will
also help me complete this new
building program which is so neces-
sary. A self-addressed envelope which
needs no postage is enclosed. Thank
you, God bless you, and may the
Happiness and Peace Of the Holiday
Season be with you always.
Sincerely,

She had read of the tragedy in the newspapers.
She had come down to claim poor Dick and give

At that crucial moment, as properly timed as
in Broadway production, the phone rang. 1t
was the Missing Persons Bureau, calling their man
at the morgue.
NOT one but two men, were now listed as VIC
~ Tins Of the holocaust, not only Richard X Roe
but John . Doe. The latter, handy man in
small New York hotel, had just been reported miss

hotel, reading of the fatal fire, remembered that
Doe had lived there for many years.
The hotel sent the mans fngerprints from its
files to the bureau Fortunately it was possible
for morgue experts to obtain fngerprnts from that
poor body. They matched those the hotel sent
But where was "Roe?" The Missing Persons
Bureau went into action In a routine check the
police discovered that Roe's name identical
with that of a man wanted by the FBI on a mar

Confronted by the evidence, she admitted that
her husband was a drug addict and was indeed

When he saw the body, burned beyond all hope

him a way out of his troubles.

police, and identified the body as his own! Then,
ne called his wife over the phone, and swiftly out
lined his scheme. If she would only go 10 the
morgue and claim the body as that of her husband,
il would doubly authenticate the plot.
With this knowledge it only a matter Of
hours before the Missing Persons Bureau picked
up Richard X. Roe, the man who had planned to go
up to his own funeral but went, instead, "up the
river" for a stretch.

Stripped Of All
 War Possibilities

TOKYO, Dec. T. (PD Edwin w. Pauley U. s. reparations com m O ner, recommended that Japan be stripped of all assets abroad, and virtually all chemical and steel building capacity, half her electric power and machine tool industries. Pauley said in q formal statement that he was recommending this course to Pres ident Truman to destroy any pos sibility of Japan ever Waging war again, and to reimburse the coun- tries she victimized.
 "The equipment built up in Japan in the past generation con- sisted of plants for the purpose of Waging wars of aggression" Pau ley said. Despite all wartime de struction," there are still more than twice as much in usable condition as when Japan started the aggressive course in Manchur- ia fourteen years ago.
 That surplus must be taken out" Pauley said. These industrial facilities would be shipped to other countries along with the Japanese capacity for producing many specified light metals. While all the nations gold and precious metals will be. sent to the San Francisco mint to be held, pending a decision of it's disposal.

seems that the way will be cleared
for the greatest advancement era
in our history.
It would appear that there has
been such wasted time spent on
figuring out what We are, why and
what we want to be called. If half
that time were devoted to being
practical, in getting things, saving
money, developing poise, and racial
cohesiveness, our battle would have
more prospect of being won quickly.
In other words, the time we spend
fighting against a word could be
used constructively for our advance
ment. They called the Jew every
thing throughout the history of the
world, yet he continued to advance
until today where he enjoys inter
national power and prestige and
thus can leisurely take up the
squabble about being called "kike'
or "sheeny." During the days of
his pilgrimage from the Egypt of
bondage and oppression, however,
he discarded things that overbur-
dened his advance and among them
were the useless fights that expend
necessary energy that could go into
something else.

Sept. 10, 1916.
Editor: The recent statement
that appeared in the Minneapolis
daily papers reported the Chief of
Police as saying that the Negroes
of Minneapolis needed a licensed
liquor place. If he has been quoted
correctly, it is indeed a great re-
Election on the man who is entrusted
with enforcing the laws of this
city. The Negroes of Minneapolis
have no more right to a Negro
saloon than the Irish, Scotch, Ital-
ians, Germans, Chinese, or Swed-
ish have to a saloon for their re-
spective nationality or race. For
according to the laws that he has
sworn to enforce, Negroes are cit
liens of the United States and
citizens of the State of Minnesota,
and they certainly have the legal
right to enter any public place serv-
ing liquor in the City of Mime
apolis. They probably do not enter
most of these places because of the
humiliation which they would most
certainly suffer. Negroes have,
from fear or possibly from other
reasons, voluntarily accepted a pat
tern Of segregation that has no
legal basis.
In a back-handed way the police
