AS part of the Omaha Urban
Leagues observance program OF
National Negro Health Week, DR.
Wesley Jones physician and sur
geon and M. Leo Bohanon. Exc.
cutive Secretary Omaha urban

broadcast over station KOWH
last Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Bohanon explained the back
ground and need for National
Negro Health Week and discuss
ed the relationship of Negro
health to the Negroes economic
status.
DR.. Jones described how the
health of The Negro like other
groups had been improved thru
Health Ednucation Programs;
how the Negro did not differ with
other groups in his health prob
lens and how the Negroes sus-
~ceptibility to certain diseases
was due in the main to the fact
the Negro was a comparatively
new host and had not built up a
resistance to these diseases as
the white groups had. AS an ex-
ample DR.. Jones quoted DR..

al of the United States who writ
es in his book "Shadowland" the

INDUSTRIAL

Making good use of community
resources is both an intelligent
and sound practice. Very few
if any, citizens and or ~non-citiz-
ems can go very far very long
without need of contact with one
or more of the numerous servic-
es or activity available to them.
To use a community resource does
not indicate a deficiency, it does
indicate a desire for self suffic-
iency. 1t is another way of adj
ding to ones competence. A case
work agency is one of many com
munity resources but which most
folk may never need, but does it
follow, however, that they will
never need the library, the YWC-
A. a public golf course or an en-
ployment agency? They are a
few among many other commun-
ity resources. There are comm
unity resources for us regardless
of our station in the community;
for they furnish us either a need,
a fulfillment, a compensation or a
growth.
EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES
In this article reference will be
made to a resource of which a
rather large segment of our pop
ulation must of necessity utilize
from time to time. This resource
is Employment Service Agencies.
The United States Employment
Service is one of several servic-
es for the American people in the
Labor Dpartmnt of our National
Govrnment. The United States
Department of Labor was created
by Congress in 1913 to foster.
promote and develop the welfare
of the wage earners of the Unit
ed States, to. improve their work
ing conditions and to advance
their opportunities for profitable
employment. In these Labor De-
partment Services r many man
dates and primary functions one
of which we have a special inter
est in this article. Perhaps it is
of value to know these services in
the Labor Department and is re-
sponsible for administering.
Services of the Labor Depart
ment are: The Secretary of La
Dor, Apprentice Training Service
Division of Labor Standards. Uni
ted States Employment Service,
Wage and Hour and Public Con-
tracts Division. National laws
administratered by the Labor De-
partment are: Apprenticeship
Act, Bacon-Davis Act prevail
ing Wage law, CT. Bill of Rights
Social Security Act, Wage and
Hour Law, Wagner-Peyser Act.
Walsh Healey Public Contract
Act, and the War Labor Disputes
Act.
On June 6, 1888. the Congress
of the United States passed a law.
the Wagner-Peyser Act. which
provided the United States En-
Service and placed it IN

Critics. of the underground road

In statement issued yesterday he
said repeated studies by the Traffic

istration as well as accident records
clearly indicate the need for grade
separation at the circle.

at our disposal for the surface treat
ment of the roadway around Dupont

"Any one who drives around the

Parking LOT Bus Plan
)For Workers Slated
For Approval Today

A plan for two big parking lots
outside the downtown area, with
bus line to carry motorists into the
congested district, had a good
chance of being approved today te
ease Washington's parking problem
Approval is expected to come ai
a meeting Of the city's Motor We
|hicle Parking Agency with officials
of the Capital Transit Co. this
afternoon.
p. Y. K. HoWat, chairman OF the
parking agency, said he would not
make public the exact location OF
the two parking lots until it was
known finally that the transit COM
pany will 60 ahead with the idea.
Both are public land which can be
used temporarily for parking, how
ever, he said.
Motorists using them, he ex-
planned, would pay fiat daily park
ing rate somewhere in the 25-35-
cent range, which would entitle
them to park all day and ride the
shuttle bus to point as near their
offices as possible.
The two lots, he said, are among
10 which were suggested to the
transit company as possibilities fol-
such a setup. The company has
been studying these suggestions
from a practical standpoint for some
time, he said, and has chosen the
two to be considered today as the
best of the lot.
The parking lot-shuttle bus meth
cd of easing the parking situation
in the Capital has been under study
ever since the parking agency was
revived well over year ago.
One of the 10 suggestions 1t has
made is to use the Pentagon's north
parking lot and part of its south
parking lot for similar setup, with
Capital Transit buses serving the
huge Army center taking all-day
parkers to downtown Washington
and back.
When the company turned its
Pentagon service over to Virginia
buslines recently, however, the
agency had to restudy the situation.
If the Virginia lines can do the
same job, Mr.. Howat said, there
still remains the problem of police
jurisdiction in the lots.
Two bills now before Congress
will solve the police question If
passed, he said. One would give the
Public Buildings Administration
authority to enforce Virginia laws
on the lots and the other would
extend similar authority to the Ma
tional Park Service, in case park
land were involved.
