Omaha Twins
Get Together
Labor Doy

Omahans will be seeing double
this coming Labor Day weekend
but for reasons they'd hardly
suspect.
September 3, A and 5 hundreds
of pairs of twins will be seen on
Omaha streets, coming here for
the annual convention Of Inter
national Twins Association.
Misses Dorothy and Doris Yates,
Council Bluffs, co-presidents of
the Association = and the first
ladies ever to hold that office =
said that invitations to the con-
ventions are being mailed to mem
bers throughout the world. At
the meeting last year in Chicago,
they said, registrants attended
from as far away as Sweden and
Germany.
Norman Haired, Convention
Bureau manager at the Chamber
of Commerce, said this will be the
second international meeting of
the Twins Association in Omaha.
The first was held in 1913 he said
when his Bureau organized the
Omaha chapter to bring the con.
vention here.
Then he added the Misses
Yates were co-presidents of the
Omaha chapter Of the worldwide
organization.

1t Happened

Recently, a certain young lady
decided she needed another copy
of her birth certificate.
Being in Lincoln, she made the
trip to Bureau of Vital Statistics,
and informed the receptionist of
her desire.
The receptionist passed the in
formation on to the proper per-
son and after some time passed,
the individual returned with the
copy.
On the birth certificate it said,
"Black American. Of course,
the young lady let it be known
right away she didn't appreciate
the epithet.
But she was told, "Why that's
the way we always put it."
That's not the way I want
change it," said the applicant.
And she thought to herself, if it
comes back with Negro spelled
without a capital IN" they'll just
have to do it over.
However, it came back with
the capital IN" and the young
lady departed.
All this took place because on
a former copy the racial designa-
ton had listed her as white"

Infected TonsiIs
Cause Disability
Among Children

Tonsils are the greatest cause
Of disability among children.
This conclusion came from a
study of benefits paid to policy
owners of Mutual of Omaha,
largest exclusive health and acct
dent insurance company in the
world.
Of every 100 girls covered by
the survey, 81 had diseased or
enla, ged tonsils. Twenty-three
of every 100 boys had tonsil
trouble.
Upper respiratory infections,
such as influenza, pneumonia,
bronchitis, are the second great
est cause of disability. These in
fections affected Is 1/2 percent
of the children in the survey.
Appendicitis caused disability
of more than five of every 100
children.
The study also showed that
children have ear disorders 2 1/2
times more than adults.
More than 100, 900 cases were
covered in the three-year study.
Since Mutual of Omaha does
business in every state, the sur
vey covered the entire nation.

in an atmosphere of fear and sill
ence on important issues. Vital
ity is possible only when there is
controversy and controversy is
possibly only where there is free
dom.
Even now too many channels
of communication are closed on
the augmentation of the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of
the United States which outlaw
ed segregation in public educa-
ton in this country. Many Of
.ficials of colleges and universities
in the South admit freely that
this subject which has broad So
cial, economic and spiritual i'm
plications is not given attention
in their courses or discussion pro-
grams and that such courses or
programs are not now contem-
plated for the future. This re-
presents the submergence of one
of the essential principles of our
democratic life-freedom Of
speech; and, points strongly to
thought control. Real liberty in
America guarantees not only
freedom to think but the right to
teach effectively, openly and
without interference, any issue of
vital concern to the American
people. The teachers of the ma
ton are called upon to combat
this menace to freedom and basic
human values. Education is the
teachers tool to open channels of
communication so as to lead
people to understand the meaning
of the Courts decision and its
relation to democracy and the
future of America.

and a banquet at the Boys Town
high school dining hall Sunday
evening to conclude the convention.
The recently-formed Ladies
Auxiliary will hold its meetings
during the period of the assem-
bly,.
The Boys Town Alumni associa-
ton was organized in 1851
through the efforts of Msgr. Mich
olas H. Wegner, director of Boys
Town, for the purpose of fostering
and strengthening friendships for

ties between Father Flanagan's
Home and the more than seven
thousand former citizens, and to
assist recent graduates in COM

haps clarity the condition that
prevented the loan at that time.
If ~sccessful, the borrower gets
a check for the desired amount,
and is now ready to do business.
However, he knows that he will
have to make restitution on the
note at one per cent on the unpaid
balance on the date promised for
the duration of the note.
AS mentioned before the pri-
mary function is to teach the wise
use of money. This means pract-
icing thrift.
Cites Example
Mr.. Mason cited an example
wherein a certain member has
saved $35. every two weeks since
last October. In other words, the
man is putting his money where
it can also aid the community.
The credit union lists a four
fold purpose:
1. Regular thrift habits for all
wage earners.
2. Convenient, confidential, low
cost credits.
3. Education in the wise use Of
money.
4. Democratic control Of money.

Davis Proposes 3-Poinf
Teachers Tenure PROGRAM

Houston, Texas - A three
point program to strengthen the
tenure rights of Negro teachers
in the change-over from segregat-
ed to non-segregated schools is
proposed in an address scheduled
for deliverey to the American
Teachers Association convention
here tonight by DR.. John w. Davis,
director of the NAACP program
for teacher security.
DR.. Davis proposed enactment
of new tenure legislation, estab-
ment of a teacher aid plan, and
the setting UP of a teacher place
ment bureau by the Alta.
The text Of DR.. Davis proposal
follows:
Job Rights of Teachers
The maximum security for
teachers can only be obtained
through the enactment of tenure
legislation. The membership Of
the Alta. in n~on-tenure states
should join hands with their fell
low teachers of the N.E.A. and
urge state legislatures to pass
tenure laws.
The legal right to the jobs of
non-tenure teachers employed I'M
der annual contract or contracts
for any term of months or years
expires at the end Of the contract
term. At most, the teacher can
be said to have an expectancy,
not a right, of future employ
ment. Nevertheless, in many
situations, an expectancy may be
an interest upon which legal &C
ton in the courts may stand, es-
pecially where governmental
authorities have acted in viola
ton of state or federal law. 1t
is necessary to add here that our
lawyers have indicated many
times that they cannot seek to ap-
ply legal principles in a vacuum.
Therefore, in the event that any
teacher seeks their assistance, all,
not just some of the facts must
be furnished them.
Cooperative States Teacher
Aid Plan
1t seems to me to be strongly
desirable for the state organiza-
tons of the American Teachers
Association to establish and free
ly support a teacher aid plan
which will be comparable to the
Donald Dushane Plan of the
N. E. A. Under an arrange
ment of this sort, teachers who
might be embarrassed through
loss of jobs because of their
fight for freedom or consolida-
ton in the processes of desegre-
cation of public schools, would
have temporary support for them
selves and their families.
Teacher Placement Service
l submit also for the considera-
ton of the American Teachers
Association a suggestion which if
acted upon favorably would bring
into existence a body in your
membership which would compile
nationwide employment oppor-
tunities for Negro teachers. To
the known vacancies in teaching
opportunities, displaced teachers
could be referred, for work con-
sideration and possible employ
ment. It would seem advisable
that the compilation Of employ
ment opportunities and teacher
placement proposal now made
might well be related to and
concentrated in the offices of DR..
H. C. Trenholm, executive secre-
tary of the American Teachers
Association. This office would
be able to serve equally well all
of the teachers and states involv-
ed.

Home construction continued
In boom proportions last month,
with total production second
only to the highest number for
any August since records have
been kept.
Houses started last month
totaled $4,000. the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics reported.
The only August having great
er output came in 1850. the
year that set an all-time record.
OF the $4,000 housing units
begun during August this year.
12l,700 were privately owned.
If that pace were maintained
throughout the year. 1855 would
see a total of 1904. 900 privately
owned units begun.
During the first eight months
of this year, almost $4,000 new
nonfarm houses were put under
construction. This compares
with about 800 900 units started
during the first eight months Of
1854.
Public housing so far this year
has accounted for only 10000
units, in contrast to about $4,000
