One of our very good friends,
Jim Jordan, is head of the towns
largest bakery, and the other day
he showed the members OF my
club through his bakery. We
watched the entire process OF bak-
ing, the slicing, and the automatic
sealing of loaves into waxed paper
wrappers, and it was really fasci-
natingi One of the ladies was par
ticularly intrigued by the automa-
tic wrapping. Jim smiled -. he
said nearly everyone enjoyed
watching that operation but then
asked us if we knew the interests
ing story behind the wrapper.
He began by telling u that the
paper used to make waxed paper
is made of choice slow = growing
spruce trees, grown in Canada and
the northern states. Because OF tho
cold northern winters, he explained,
the spruce trees mature slowly
giving added. length and strength
to their fiber, and consequently,
provides better protection f5r
bread. The trees are usually cut
during winter and sent down the
river to pulp mills in the spring;
AT the mill, the bark is removed
and the wood whitfield into small
chips . then cooked" with spe.
cial chemicals. We all laughed
when jim said the entire cooking
process was like making apple
saucei
After cooking, the waste is
drained away and the chemically
treated pure wood pulp is fed into
a huge paper making machine =
which is an entire city block long!
The machine re-wets the pulp fS-
ers, then mats them together in =
sheet. After the paper dries. it II
printed and fed on rollers through
tanks Of molten parafhn wax -
similar to the type we use to pre-.
serve jams and jellies.
Jim described the entire process
so wildly that we could see every
step-and we were simply amazed.
Think of the millions and pNll!ons

ida, Bermuda and all of the better
known Fairgrounds, will be richly
rewarded by a cruise to the Virgin
Islands.
The Virgin Islands of the United
States form a northeastern out
post of the Caribbean Sea. They
comprise u farthest east possess
sion of the Atlantic, one thousand
miles east of the Panama. The
islands have a trade wind climate.
with no extremes in temperature.
Columbus discovered the Virgin
Islands on his second voyage in
1893 We purchased them from
Denmark in 1917.
The United States did not buy
the islands because they were con-
sidered a wise investment; but for
war purposs. The United States
bought them as a result Of fear
that Germany might get them.
Some people wonder whether the
purchase of the islands was a
sound investment. The United
Estates paid S3e5.OO an acre, $685.
900, 900 in all and when we think
of paying two cents an acre for
Africa it sounds like an exhorbit-
ant price. If we had failed to buy
the islands and they had become
naval bases for Germany, the pic
ture might be different today.
They also contribute to the guar.
dianship of the Panama Canal.
However there is little hope that
the islands can ever maintain a
normal American standard of liv-
ing with their own resources and
efforts.
William HASTE. who was inau-
gurated by President Truman. is
the first Negro governor of the
islands, whose population is more
than 70 per cent Negro.
When the citizens of the islands,
heard that William HASTE was to
be their new Governor they &C.
claimed it as a great act. They had
good reason to be delighted. Gov.
HASTE is not a stranger to the
islands Of st. John, st. Crom and
st. Thomas. He served there in
1o37-1939 as a federal district
the first Negro named to a
federal judgeship. Before that he
helped the Interior Department set
the Virgin Islands cooperation.
as a governnent-owned project
which helped TO revive the isIarsds
sugar industry.
Gov. HASTE, as an experienced
lawyer, has devoted much Of his
life for the rights Of his race. In
1914, he successfully argued the
primary election case before the
United States Supreme court,
which upheld the rights Of the Ne
groes to vote In Texas. HASTE was

New routes, extension Of some
present routes, and conversion of
several lines from street cars to
buses, with exclusive use Of buses
on all lines on Sundays, are en-
bodied in the plan announced this
week by the Omaha and Council
Bluffs Street Railway Company
to give Omaha greatly improved
transportation service.
The addition Of so new buses to
the Company's fleet makes these
improvements of Omaha's trans
portation service possible, Com
pany officials explained. With the
delivery Of 80 more buses in 1913.
the Company will have spent a
total Of more than $2,460,000 for
new buses.
The Company has asked the City
Council this week to authorize by
ordinance the use Of additional
city streets. An application will be
filed Immediately with the Ne
braska State Railway Commission
for authority to place the plan
in effect.
The changes in the system to be
made effective within go days are:
Bus service s~upplanting street
cars to the West Leavenworth dis
trict and Ak-Sar-Ben field. To i'm
prove service the buses will be
routed over st. Mary's av.. with
express service during rush hours.
Street cars from And and Grand
will use a downtown loop route,
turning west on Harvey from 18th
to goth ST., then north to Dodge
for the return trip.
Buses instead of street car serv-
ice to the Hanscom Park and
South 32nd av. district. Benson

The Common Defense
TAKE THAT SIGN DOWN

The Miami Beach City Council
has adopted a City Ordinance, to
become law on June 7th, prohibit
ing the display of signs by hotels,
apartments, and other public
places which indicate the practice
of religious discrimination by
them.
This ordinance has an interest
ing history. Once there were 81
establishments in the area which
exhibited signs using such phras-
es a "retricted," "Gentiles," and
"Gentiles only" for advertising
their discriminatory practices.
Public spirited citizens visited the
managers of these places and per-
suaded 81 of them to remove the
signs. But 10 resolutely refused.
The passage of the ordinance thus
became necessary.
1t has had some very encourag-
ing results. Newspaper publishers
have voluntarily come forward
with the suggestion that their pa
pers ought to adopt the policy of
refusing to accept advertisements
which carry discriminatory words
and phrases. Attorneys for other
city councils are studying the
Miami Beach Ordinance with a
view to the adoption of a similar
one by their own cities.
Discriminatory advertising has
long been a fragrant offense
against public morality and the
principals of Americanism 1T is
as if you placed a sign on your
house which read, We believe in
dishonesty. theft, and murder"
The only people who will care to
try to make a case against this
proposition are those who forget,
Or refuse to admit, the crimes
against God and man have been
committed in the name of reli-
gious prejudice. Any American
who has not yet learned that pre-
Judice leads to dishonesty. theft.
and murder has failed to read one
of the most glazing signs of our
times. He has never read, or
chooses to forgA, what is written
IN the Holy ScripturesLthat
"whosoever hateth his brother is
q murderer" II st. John, 3:15)
In substance, a city which for
bids discriminatory advertising is
saying to people who wish to en-
ploy it, you may be immoral en-
ough to want to hlare your pre-
JUDGE to the whole community
and the people who visit it. In
doing that you are not just ad-
vertising your own corruption.
You are advertising our commun-
lty, and giving people the impress
sion that we stand with you and
share in your corruption. You
can't do that. You can't misrepre-
sent US. You may want to throw
Your garbage in the street too
But we want a clean and healthy
cicy-so you can't do that. We
want a strong. clean, healthy
American city-so you can't adj
vertise your prejudices which di.
vide and weaken and corrupt our
citizens. Take that sign DOWN.

Secretary of War. He severely
criticized the unfair treatment
given the Negroes in the Army
Air Forces. Later, the army fol-
lowed many Of his suggestions,
and found that Negro and white
officer candidates could be train

National Award for making, the

Governor HASTE is a very bril-
liant man. He attended both Am

He was one of the outstanding

Let US take an imaginary trip
to the Virgin Islands.
Entering the harbor of st. Tho
mas, between Cuba and Curacao.
no island unfolds a more entranc-
ing view than this harbor. Against
the dark green backdrop of the
ridge lies the town of Charallote
Amelie. The government mansion,
where Gov. and Mrs. Hastie' and
their children live, is located there.
Your ship blows a blast and the
native people swarm around the
gangway, selling beads, fruits and
souvenirs. It is the end of the
journey.
The first impressions may be
disappointing. The enchantment of
the distance turns into common
place reality. The town shows that
it has suffered from poor trade
and neglect the past few years.
But years ago Charlotte Amalie
must have been a beautiful city.
A hundred years ago st. Thomas
was a fruitful island, and Char
lotte Amalie was a busy port.
Thousands of Negro slaves toiled
in the fields, which reached to tn
top of the hills. They raised sugar
cane, tobacco and coffee. But the
crumbling walls and mellowed col
ors have a charm that is lacking
tn the well ordered cities Of Amer
lea. Perhaps it is just as well that
the old town remains as i. is, slum-
bering in the sunlight.
The old Fort Christian was once
the main defense Of the town. for
more tkan 26O years it watched
the ebb and flow Of the island life.
1t now serves as police headquar-
ters. municipal court and Jail.
