Deafness Is No
Bar to Success
Omaha Man and His Is
Mute Employees Build
Up Good Business.

OMAHA, NEB.-Dale D. Paden,
a deaf mute who went into the auto
mobile body repair business be-
cause some one sold him a paint
sprayer, says deafness is no handi-
cap to him and his 10 mute en-
ployees, as reported by the United
Press.
Paden, 43, and his attractive
mute wife, Al, gesticulated vigorous
ly as they described a venture that
started 6h years ago in a garage
barely large enough to accommo-
date two cars and now is in a SIS, 900
building completed recently.
Paden has taught the trade to his
deaf mute employees.
Paul Randolph Jr., the one en-
.ployee who can hear, answers the
telephone. takes orders and inter
prets for his mute co-workers. He
learned the sign language from his
parents, who were deaf mutes.
Most Of the employees are gradu-
ates of the Nebraska School for the
Deaf at Omaha. where Paden met
his wife.
Deaf Learn Easily.
Paden said it is easier to teach a
deaf person the body repair trade
than a normal person because a
mute is accustomed to learning by
observation.
That, he said. is the way he start
ed to learn his trade % years ago
when an Omaha firm decided 10
give him a try as the only deaf work
er in the shop.
Six ard one-half years ago, Paden
said, someone sold him an air com
presSor for spraying paint.
II decided l ought to make some
use Of it, he Signaled, 80 l opened
a shop Of my own"
We don't talk much while we
work" Padcn signaled smilingly,
because we have TO drop our tools
in order to carry on a conversation. "
Mrs. Paden Emphatic.
| Mrs. Paden made an emphatic
mo" sign with her thumb and first
finger when asked If deafness was
a handicap in raising her four chill
dren-Mary Jean, l6; Bernard, IA;
Paul, 10. and Pearl. 8, all Of whom
are normal
She said Mary Jean was able to
talk in sign language at the age of
or 4 after learning various words
by pointing to objects for her par
ents 10 name.
Paden became deaf at the age OF
four after an attack Of spinal men.

Full Indignation
At Youth Camp
For MethOdists

Milford, Neb. Especially Negro
youths and a Negro leader were
fully integrated into the program
and activities Of the intermediate

LII was supposed to graduate
from college this summer, but /
did not. Should l enter school in
September or forget about an edu-
cation?
Ans: Re-enter school, sis. Had
you not failed in two subjects you
would have graduated with the rest
of your class. Study up on these
subjects, go back to school and
master them. Until you do graduate,
keep your mind on your school
-, and OF the boys. There will be
time enough for amOurs later.

er's daughter. | have a boy friend
who has been coming to see me for
| 10 months. He is restless because
we have TO steal kiss and he can
not kiss me when he wants to. He
says 1 don't love him because |
don't share private things with him.
My parents like to sit in the room
or leave the door open so they can
see US. My little brother has to
go out with us. 1t makes me cry.
What must l do?
Ans: Wipe your tears away, put
on your biggest smile and invite
other boys to call. It's wrong for
young girl to wrap herself up
completely in one boy. You are
missing out on lots Of fun and
worrying needlessly. Your ad-
mirer knows his way around,
don't worry about him. He'll be
glad to do your bidding if the
competition gets keen enough.

Ans: The next mate you choose

THE Able WALLACE SERVICE

R.E.B.-I am writing about a
girl | love and adore with all my
heart. Unfortunately we haven't
seen each other for over a year.
am haunted by her memories. The
thoughts Of her are with me each
day. No girl can seem to remove
her from my mind. Just what
should / do?
Ans. :Well Bob, you really have
a case don't you? Why continue to
torment yourself? Hop on the next
bus and pay the little lass a visit
You need a vacation anyway. Don't
build your hopes up too high, how.
ever, for she has a reason for not
writing a man.
M.H.R.-All Of my friends are
married but me. Now | want q
home Of my own. My friend is nice
and says he wants me for his wife
but l desire to know what to do.
Ans: You can't marry now as
both Of you know, but you can plan
your future home and begin saw
ing for this purpose. II you love
him enough to want to marry him
surely you can wait a while
longer.
C.M.D.-I married at Is, been
married 4 years, but don't love my
husband like a wife should. Half
the time l don't want to be around
him. We parted several times, but
he acts so pitiful and cries so
always take him back. l pretend
to be happy with him but l am very
unhappy. What is our trouble?
Ans; Your love has sOured, that's
for sure, but not dangerously so.
II can be revived although drastic
steps will be necessary. Trouble is
that neither Of you cooperate or
make any attempt to plan ahead.
Write me privately and I'll help
you. My first recommendation is
that your husband wash his hands"
of number playing. 1t is fOOlhardy
for him to attain success in this
manner.
Dear Advisor: l cannot help but
thank you for what you have done
for me in bringing my faith in my
self back. want you to always
remember that you will always be
thought Of in my prayers. l pray
the Lord will grant you twice the
grace you already have. Thanks.
Mrs. LEI.
E.F.-You have helped so many
people, now | want you to help me.
Ny problem is this: | had in mind
going south next year and opening
up a store. l am married and have
three children to take care of. Do
you think | would have success?
Ans: think il would be an ex-
tremely risky venture on your part.
Entirely too risky. Moving south
will certainly open up no new Op-
pOrtunities for your kiddies. As for
going into business for yourself
with prices and rents as they are
-. that would be economic suicide.
You would go broke ''tOute suite"
My advice is to try to better your
self right in your own COM
munity.
LB.L.-I am in a world of
trouble. am worried nearly to
death with a no good man. He Just
won't leave me alone and is always
threatening to kill me. What can
| do to get this man away from
around me and stop him from foul
ing me up? This will be all until |
hear from you.
Ans: They say money is the root
of all evil. 1t is in your case. You
don't want the man around, you
know he is dangerous, and vet
you hound him for money. You
can't accept his money with one
hand and run him off with the
other. Find a Job nv friend on6

you have your life on a pay-yOur-
Own-way basis, you can always

Turner said the commission was
encouraged by the good results in
the first years operation OF the
law.
Among other results, the COM
mission reported that many doors
hitherto closed or barred to mem
bers Of various minority groups
have now been opened, with no
resultant friction or unrest
among personnel.
The rarity Of a discriminatory
want advertisement In New York
newspapers was cited by the com
mission, which said II had worked
intensively with newspaper pub
fishers, publishers associations, adj
vertising managers and agencies,
to eliminate them.
During the first year Of indorse-
ment, the commission received $40
complaints and initiated l07 Of its
own. A breakdown Of the com
plants showed that 207 were based
on color, 80 on creed, so on ma
tional origin and Ii miscellaneous.
Chief offenders were employers,
with 3I3 cases. Labor organiza-
tions were named in 80 instances,
and job agencies in eight.
Progress was reported from
conferences held with the New
York Telephone mpAny,
against which a number Of COM
plants had been filed. More than
800 eOlOred girls were employed
as switchboard operators and
clerks before the commission was
set up, the report said, and, In
addition, In the last year a change
in employment policy has been
noted in many upstate areas
where eOlOred girls have been
employed as telephone operators,
Several international unions now
operating in New York State have
been instructed to revise their con-
stitutions and rituals to comply
with the State law, the commission
said. In the case Of one organi-
cation that has failed to give the
commission such assurance, the
commission has directed its gen
eral counsel TO take the matter up
with the Attorney General and the
Industrial Commissioner Of the
State.
The Railroad Yardmasters
Union, which previously barred
Negro workers from membership,
changed this rule at its last con-
veRtiOn, Il was said. The commits
sion had reported previously that
District Is, New York, lnteTRa-
tiORal Association Of Machinists,
ignored its ritual in accepting
Negro workers as full-helged

In regard 10 educational institu-
tons, the commission said:
"a series Of conferences have
been held with representatives of
