We wish to make known to
you aur opinion concerning the
serious occurance that took
place recently when some Neg
70 boys were attacked by some
white boys.
1t is our considered Judge
ment that such occurances are
not isolated, Individual hap
penfngs but rather the result
Of the discriminatory Jim Crow
relationship which exist in the
city Of Omaha. Indeed it is for
tunate, in our opinion, that con
sideration the atmosphere of
segregation in which our YOU
ng folk grow up, that such hap
penings have not occurred more
frequently.
1t IS furthur our considered
judgement that unless all those
who believe in Democracy,
and do not just talk about it,
unite to remove the shameful
blow Of lynch law, poll tax
conditions, discrimination in
our restaurants, hotels, and job
employment, in the country at
large and in the state of Nebr.

By Jocques FutrelIe, Jr.
The Siar's Travel Edifee

At this season in prewar years,
American travellers began to look
forward to announcement Of special
winter cruises into southern waters.
And when completed schedules had
been arrayed on travel agents coun-
tiers, they chose from half a dozen
or more famous liners that normally
shuttled tourists to and from Europe.
in high luxury.
Transatlantic name" ships
showed of with holidaying crowds
for Rio, Curacao, Havana, Trinidad.
Nassau and a host of other places
where summer spends the winter.
Such cruises were the bright spots
In a golden age of travel.
Only now, with the fourth postwar
winter ahead, has this favored form
of recreational travel promised. to
approach in glamor and variety the
l930s. Recent announcements as
sure the 1948-49 winter cruise sea-
son as the best since the war blacked
them out.
Close upon Holland-America Lines
offering of cruises on the Nieuw AM
sterdam and Veendam, starting In
December, comes word that Cunard
White Star has planned a full cruise
program, using three liners. The
names of two already are famous
the Britannia and the Mauritania.
The other, the Caronia, still is under
construction and will make its maid
en- voyage later this year. OF ap-
proximately $4,000 gross tons. the
Caronia was designed especially for
cruising.
An 11-day Christmas cruise to the
West Indies and South America by
the Mauretania will inaugurate the

uary to late March, the Mauretania
will sail every 10 days or so on g.
day cruises from New York to Mas
sau and Havana, touching Nassau
again on the northbound voyage.
The Caronia will start a series Of
five 14-day cruises to the West In
dies and South America In late JAN
uary. Her schedule is to be similar
to the Mauretania's cruises Of last
winter. with some innovations likely.
About February !, the recondi-
toned Britannia will sail from New
York on a 45-day cruise to Brazil
and Argentina. 1t will call at Rio
during carnival week on the return
voyage.
At least two other weu-known
liners also will be in Rios colorful
harbor for the carnival, a pre-lenten
celebration that shunts routine
affairs aside for four days and
nights OF parades and parties, music
and dancing. The liners are the Ar
gentina and the Brazil Of Moore
McC Cormack's Good Neighbor feet.
| Normally these two ships operate,
along with the Uruguay, on regular
38-day voyages from New York to
the East Coast of South America
The two special cruises will be of 45
days, with two ports Of call added
and longer stays In regular ports
The cruise ships will serve pas
sengers as their hotel at all stops
except Buenos Aires. Cruise fares
will include hotel ashore at B. A.
As originally announced, the Ar
gentina will leave New York jan
uary 28, going first to Hamilton
Bermuda; Bridgetown, Barbados
and Bahia, Brazil and arriving In
Rio February II. After this Rio visit,
he Argentina will proceed to Santos
Montevideo and Buenos Aires. The
carnival stop, northbound, Is sched-
uled for February 26, with departure
for New York on March 2. The
Brazil will sail from New York Feb
ruary II and Is scheduled to reach
Rio the 26th. The Brazil leaves Rio
on March l to continue its southern
journey. It Is due back in New York
March rs.
The Labor Day holiday gave Ber-
muda its biggest weekend since the
war. The Bermuda News Bureau
reports that from Thursday through
September's first Monday, 1927
tourists arrived. The Veendam and
Evangeline cruises landed 86S, and
planes OF Pan American, Colonial
and BOAC carried $50 more.

The Mexican Tourist Association
Is authority for the statement that
many tourist oficials in Mexico
frankly admit they favored devalua-
ton Of the peso to bring the country
to the bargain travel level. And the
bid has been successful, the associa-
ton claims. Coupled with the de-
valuation, which raises the purchas-
ing power of the American dollar to
about $3.50, is the determination to
hold the price line on accommoda-
tions and services.
Illustrating the unusual tour op-
portunities, the association cites an
all-inclusive trip from Mexico City
to Acapulco, famous luxury resort
on the West Coast. For 100 pesos
($28) the tour includes plane fares,
transportation to the hotel and two
full days, with de luxe meals and
accommodations.
With Mexico's popular fan season
coming up, the association forwards
the warning that there is no doubt
it will be necessary to make reserva-
tions in advance at most resorts"

With Bill Leetch

fish now is to boat out of any OF
the bay-proper points. and espec-
ially good reports have come from
across the bay where fishing at the
mouth of the Honga River nearly
always is good during the early sea-
son. A few stripers also have
been caught there by trolling and
cumming.
Farther down the bay, angling for
drum and trout has been good in
the Cape Charles area, with large
catches of the latter reported.
Most of the fish are running small,
however. Many anglers are plan
ming trips to Wachapreague, Chin
colleague and other Atlantic Coast
points over the Decoration Day hoh-
day and accommodations at these
points have been at premium Tor
some time. If you're planning to
20 down there, make sure of your
boating and lodging facilities. The
Hotel Wachapreague reported sell
out more than six weeks ago.
In trout streams of Maryland and
Virginia angling has not been good
on account of fairly high waters,
but should be excellent this week
end, barring rain. There are plenty
of good fish in most all streams.
All required for limit catches is a
weather break and some angling
skill. Rock Creek, which has been
almost total loss for the last three
weeks, is clearing up, and worm ad-
diets should find the fishing good
there this week end. Don't overlook
the North Branch of Rock Creek,
east of Avery, Md, and also the
small feeders that run into the
creek from the Eastern watershed.
Most of them are rough going,
but worth investigating. Another
stream which has been well stocked
in Maryland, but little tished, is
Owens Creek, above Thurmont. This
stream was stocked this year in
the middle of a flood of water and
we surmise that most of the trout
were carried downstream. We'd try
the section east of the little settle
ment of Roddy on the Emmitsburg
road. 1t is mostly meadow stream
and may hold some nice trout.
