NEBRASKA YOUTH
MEMORIAL BUILDING

Increased interest on the
part of American Legion or
ganizations in the S250,O00
campaign being conducted by
the Legion in Nebraska to Sc
cure funds for the erection OF
a Nebraska Youth Memorial
building on the campus of the
College of Agriculture is be-
ing shown IN various places.
Typical of the Legion's at
titude is a letter from Antelope
Post No. 'l72 at Neigh. After
stating that the building was
discussed at length at a reg
ular post meeting, Adjutant G.
L. Gillespie reports, 1T was
unanimously agreed that the
post here in Neigh should do
all that it could to forward fl
nancially such worthy under
taking" AS a preliminary con
tribution from that city, the
post voted to give the sum Of
Sl52.OO on the basis Of one
dollar per member. Because
that post has been active in the
youth program. it stated It rec
ognized the great need for
such a building.
Leo Brinda Post No. 90 at
Valentine is another which has
gotten nicely under way with
the campaign in its town, hav-
ing sent in the first contribu-
ton Of $4,000 toward the
building fund.
Other posts in the state
have indicated a deep interest
IN the proposed building. En-
tertalnments of various kinds
and other methods are being
used to raise funds for THE
building. In some places, the
Legion organization is Just
getting nicely started, and ac-
tive solicitation for funds has
not begun.
Another generous contribu-
ton to match the larger ones
already given was announced
this week at Lincoln, when the
Lincoln Voiture of the 40 & 8.
Legion honor organization,
voted to give $1,000 to the
building campaign.

URBAN LEAGUE VOC
Campaign Reached Over 27O0
Students

In a report given to the ON
aha Urban League Board of
Directors last week, Mr.. Tay-
lor, Industrial Secretary, Om-
aha Urban League, said 268O
high school and 105 grade
school students were counsel
ed directly during the Leagues
Vocational Opportunity Cam
paign held the week of March
18th.
Other highlights Of the cam
paigIr included the distribution
Of 8,lO5 pieces of counseling
literature, % news stories, 4
radio broadcasts, 2 library dis
plays and posters displays in
the high schools, churches and
in participating agencies. A
special appeal was made to
veterans thru the appearance
Of George Holland, special
ington office of Veterans Ad-
ministration. Mr.. Holland
spoke to VA officials in Om-
aha and Lincoln and before 2
mass meetings of Negro and
white citizens in Omaha. Mr..
NJ. Leo Bohanon, Executive
Secretary of the Omaha Ur-
ban League, said that in his
opinion the recent VOC cam
paign was one of the most in
elusive programs ever spon-
sored by a League affiliate. He
pointed out that in keeping the
Leagues philosophy the cam
paign was completely interrac-
lal in its approach to the pro-
blems OF ocational counseling.
Significantly enough, he said,
- percent of all high school
students served were white
students. Organizations and
groups which cooperated with
the League in promoting the
VOC program were as fol-
lows:

It has long been of concern
to thinking people to find a
more solid ground on which
to base the relationships be-
tween peoples Of different
races or nationalities. More
solid, that is, than the moral
ground expressed in the Broth
erhood idea. This is the fact
Of self-interest. 1t is not meant
to disparage the ideals of the
Declaration of independence,
that all men are created equal,
and that all people have GER
tain inalienable rights, and SO
forth Too often one group
which is privileged will be taxi
en- in by the false doctrine
that to give equal rights to
those Disseminated against,
will lower their own standards
or opportunities, and conse-
quently fail to implement their
ideals of Brotherhood.
The fact is that when one
group is held back, the rest
of us who falsely assume we
would retrogress with their
progress, are actually retard-
ed also. There j. abundant
evidence that those who would
hold others in the pit must
stay with them to keep them
there.
1t is plainly evid ent that
if the ten million or SO Negro
people in the South had equal
employment rights with the
privileged people of the North
there would be greatly increas-
ed purchasing power in the
country, and consequently
more jobs. Life in the North
ern part of the country would
be more abundant. But what
is not so evident, though none
the less troe, is that the wage
diferential in the South oper-
ates to the disadvantage Of
more white than Negro work
ers, for there are more Of them.
There is also a considerable
wage differential between
Southern white workers and
their brothers in the North. Iii
other words the white work.
er in the South is grossly un-
derpaid. The main considera-
ton in him tolerating this Is
that he knows Negro workers
are paid even less than he him
self; SO he finds it easy to be-
believe that he profits from
the Negroes plight. He is blind
ed to the fact that BY harbor-
ing this belief he is assisting
in his own degradation.
Consider that the Negro
white salary differential for
teachers alone in the South ag-
gregated about twenty-five
million dollars in one schohol
year in the '3Os. Considering
further that in all occupational
groups, agriculture, industry,
clerical and other professional
groups, the differential is pres
ent, with the added different
ial between Southern-white
and Northern workers, it IS od-
vious that hundreds Of millions
Of dollars are saved the en-
ployers in the South. >.
The idea that one race IS
superior to anothher exists be-
cause of this condition. This
condition gives birth to and
sustains the idea Of Raiial Su-
pperiority. The Poll-taxers
reap huge profits from the un-
equal conditions Of peoples in
the South. Their chief tool to
preserve these conditions is
the Race Superiority idea. ii
it is remembered that billions
Of dollars are invested in the
South by Northern interests.
it is easily understood why the
Poll-taxers in Congress re-
ceive needed support from
Northern congressman. Were
this not so, the anti-poll tax
and anti-lynch bills, and a Fed
eral F.E.P.C. bill could be
readily passed.
The solid ground on which
we all stand in helping each
other is our own interests. We

Bltter Iedt
Within very few days now,
dandelions will appear as an
unwelcome weed in many
lawns, but when displaced,
perhaps the offending dande-
lion can give good account Of
itself in the salad bowl.
The US. Department of Ag-
riculture suggests that dande-
lion greens are free for the
digging, and they offer a re-
freshing bit of bitterness. Even
though nobody likes a bitter
dose, a dash of bitter gives zest
to many a dish-such as a
mixed green salad, or cooked
greens. Chicory, known as
endive in our local markets, is
also priced as a salad green
for its delicate bitterness.
Dig Early
According to U.S.D.A. spec
ialists, the time to dig dande-
lion greens is early, when the
largest leaves are no longer
than two or three inches and
before the plant begins to flow
er. Or a better way to avoid
too much bitter is to choose
the young greens which are
only family bitter, and then
blend them with other mild
flavorad greens for salads or
cooked greens. For a tossed
salad combine dandelion
greens with lettuce and french
dressing. Or make a fruit-and
green salad by adding grape
fruit or orange segments and
using the juice Of these fruits
in the dressing.
Dandelion greens-like other
deep-green leafy vegetables,
are excellent source Of vitamin
A and iron.
Between Meal Eating
Many folks have the idea
that eating any kind OF food
between ones regular meals
is to be frowned upon. Moth
ers often tell me that they do
nit believe in letting their chill
dren piece between meals.
According to Nutritionists
OF the u. S. Department of Ag-
notwithstanding between the
meals is not always a bad hab-
it. 1t depends on the food, the
time, and the person who does
the eating. Some OF us may do
better with 5 or 8 small meals
than with three substantial
meals. Between meal snacks
may be used to supplement re-
gular meals and to help provi-
de an adequate diet.
de an adequate diet.
Growing children, activ e
workers, and underweights Of
ten need more food than they
can comfortably eat at a meal.
For them light fill-in at a
mid-point between meals pro-
tects against WEAKNESS and
getting hungry before meals.
Some people find that they do
better by eating frequently and
lighter rather than by holding
to three square meals daily.
Healthful Snacks
A glass of milk, fruit or tom
ato juice, a hard cooked egg,
fresh fruit, graham crackers,
or even a light sandwich is re-
commended to give children
energy for active play without
spelling the appetite for the
evening meal.
In contrast-candy, cake, an
rich ice cream mixtures and
sweet drinks taken shortly be-
tore a meal may spoil the child
appetite for vegetables and
other essential foods at meals.
Eating the right foods at the
right time between meals
may be good health habit for
some adults and children, but
haphazard nibbling may spoil
