Public Power District Signs New Contract
With Hydro Electric Power Districts

cancels an old contract between
the Nebraska Power Company and
Loup River, which had been Sus-
pended by the 1914 contract.
AS early as last September, an
Omaha Public Power District ne
gotiating committee, comprised of
MI. Samuel L. Cooper and Mr..
Charles D. Saunders, entered into
negotiations with Loup and the
other two Hydro Districts to clar-
ify and replace the contract then
existing.
These negotiations were long
and arduous. The signing today
of the new contract marks the
completion of negotiations. 1t is
the feeling of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Omaha Public Power
District that the negotiating COM
mittee has successfully completed
a fine job. The new contract is
fair and equitable to both parties"
said Mr.. ]. M. Harding, President
of the Board.
ITO the Omaha Public Power
District, one of the most import
ant features of the new contract is
that under it they regain complete
control of their generating facilit-
les an dare now free to expand
their own plant in the future,
should necessity arise" MI. Hard

c. CREDIT UNIONS
IN

In the past five years there has
been an upsurge of activity in the
cooperative movement, particularly
among Negroes. Great strides
have been made, and especially in
North Carolina. At the present
time there r rs credit unions in
the state which have been organic
ed by Negroes; one of these include
both Negro and white members
and officers.
Those credit unions have over
100000 in assets, No losses due to
theft or ~defalcation have been en-
countered. Losses due to bad loans
have been few and far between.
This record is superior to the ave-
rage in North Carolina and to that
of the average in the United
States.
The first credit union organized
Negroes in this country was in Ro-
wan county North Carolina, in
1910. In 1919 three more were
organized due to the encourage
ment of Thomas B. Patterson, coun-
ty agent. Here the farmers placed
their small savings and as a result
Of this pooling of their funds, they
provided their own credit in time
of need.
Church groups, government wor-
kers, educational foundations, the
press, the Cooperative League, the
Federal Credit Union Division, and
the Credit Division of the State De-
partment of Agriculture have TAX
en- part in promoting c~ooperatives,
of which credit unions are an inte-
grail part.
There is probably more activity
in credit unions among Negroes in
North Carolina than in the other
forty-seven states put together.
This is due in part to the fact that
North Carolina was the first south
ern state to become infested in
credit unions through the spirit and
influence of John Sprunt Hill of
Durham. He showed that crop
loans cost the farmer so per cent

The Rev. w. Louis Petty COM
mended the Chicago Tribune Jan.
20 for exposing disfranchisement
in Mississippi and for leadership in
pointing to the remedy of cutting
down congressional representa-
ion in states thus violating the
Constitution. The Rev. Mr.. Petty
who was elected president of the
Chicago Baptist Ministers confer
ence, addressed 1900 persons at
the installation of officers in st.
Luke's Baptist church, 37th street
and Indiana ave., Chicago. Other
new officers are the Rev. S. A.
Grayson, first vice president; the
Rev. E.. w. White, second vice pres
ident; the Rev. r. E. Eddington,
secretary, and the Rev. D. z. Jack
son, treasurer.
Regardless of the outcome of
the Bilbo contest" the Tribune
pointed out in an editorial publish
ed Dec. 80, 1916, congress has a
duty to bring Mississippi and
some other southern states into
conformity with the Constitution.
Mississippi is not the only state in
which many Negroes are disfran-
chised- Aside from the particular

ing continued.
The new contract is made with
The Central Nebraska, Loup Riv-
er, and Platte Valley Districts. It
provides for maximum.use by the
| Omaha District of the hydro cleo
| trio power so essential to the devel
opment and existence of irrigation
in the state.
The growth in the use of cleo
tricity all over the United States
has been Astonishing, ven to the
most optimistic utility men. Be-
cause of the inability of the Oma-
ha District, due to the war, to pro-
vide additional generating capac-
ity to meet these growing needs,
it has been difficult at times to
meet the demand for electric pow
er.
The new contract makes it pos
| sible for the Hydro Districts to
start immediate construction Of a
new $4,000 XIV steam plant at
Bellevue, which they anticipate
! will be ready in early 1949. The
power generated there will be US
ed by Consumers, the REA Dis
~tricts, and the Omaha District.
I'VE will be glad to see the con-
J struction of these new generating
| facilities started" I'M. Harding
said.
Omaha Public Power District.
under the new contract, agrees to
purchase from the Hydros 35, 900
XIV of electric power capacity in
1947 and to increase that amount
year by year to $4,000 XIV in 1852.
AS the total power requirements
of the Omaha Districts customers
today are approximately LIE, 900
XIV, it is apparent that in 1947 the
District will be purchasing a little
over 25 percent of its requirements
from the Hydros. This ratio will
remain about the same as the Dis
trict's load increases and its pur-
chases increase year by year. The
remaining rs percent will be sup
piled from the Districts own gen
Grating plants at 4th and Jones
Streets and South Omaha.
To the Hydros, the new contract
offers, in addition to their share of
the benefits of interconection. an
immediate market for power to
make possible the economical and
efficient operation of their propos-
ed new plant, which is an adjunct
to the hydro plants and much need
ed to insure service to their rap
idly growing business.
To irrigators in Nebraska is pro-
vided further assurance of Oma-
has cooperation with their plans
for development.
AS to the cost of purchased pow
ed to the Omaha Public Power
District under the new contract.
there will be no immediate change.
However, the more favorable op-
Grating conditions and more equit-
able distribution Of operating eco
Monies should bring about savings
as the years 60 on, Mr.. Harding
stated.

New York, Jan. 30-Joseph Cur

internal issues in the union into a

in 1915.
Besides saving the funds of its
members credit unions have helped
their members by making loans for
purchase of farms, homes, furniture

food and automobiles. They have
helped their numbers to pay for ed

DIGEST ARTICLE REcoUNTS
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S
LIFE AN Accomplishments

In the long climb upward of our
common humanity, few have done
more to help so many on their way
than that man of good will, Booker
T. Washington" In these words 0.
X. Armstrong concludes a six-page
article on the late Negro teacher.
in The Readers Digest February
issue which is its 25th anniversary
number.
Armstrong; articles records the
early life Of Washington, thediffi-
culties of his elementary school
education. his appointment to the
faculty of a Negro school at Ham
pton, Va, his call to Tuskegee and
his long uphill struggle TO lift the
veil of ignorance from his people,
Arriving at Tuskegee, Booker
Washington found no school. 'Un
dismayed," the article says, "he
decided he would build one.~
Meanwhile he obtained permission
to use a small Nego church. On
July 4, 1881, the newly founded
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
Institute opened with a student
body of 80. Over these students
head was a roof that leaked 50
badly that umbrellas were raised
on rainy days.
How Washington fought deep
seated p~rejudices, Won friends, fl
nancial support, and eventually the
the nations recognition as the
spokesman of his race, is told in
the Digest article. At his death in
1915 Tuskegee Institute had be-
come so stronly established that it
could carry on without him. To-
day it has a staff of 80, q student
enrolment of20O0, 1873 buildings
and $3.50 acres of campus and
farms. Seventeen similar industri
al schools for Negroes have been
founded by Tuskegee alumni.
New honors signify the geatness
of Booker T. Washington, the au-
thor says. The National Educa-
ton Association included him in a
list of ten who have contributed
most to education in America. Last
year his likeness was placed in the
American Hall of Fame at New
York University.

Heavy emphasis must be plac-
ed on rental housing for 1947,"
Koran said, "since figures indicate
that less than one-fifth of the units

found in articles XIV and XIV of
the Constitution.
The first specifies that when
the right to vote at any election on
candidates for federal and state Of
flee is denied inhabitants of vot-
ing age in any state, or is other
wise abridged, the representation
Of the state at fault shall be pro

congress shall have power to en-
force this article by appropriate
legislation.
"Inasmuch IS no denial is enter
