SNAP SHOTS OF A DAYS’
OBSERVATION
Gradually growing louder as it
approaches my office door, the
■strains of a good old Baptist hymn
fall upon my ear. I do not look
up from my desk. I know exact
ly what to expect. It is the tune
of the blind peanut vendor who
daily makes his round down our
street. Yes, that’s him alright—
the tap of his cane cannot be mis
taken.
# # #
A car comes to a grinding stop
deliberately in front of the fire
plug outside my door. There are
only two men that I know who
would commit this bold encroach
ment on the Law. These two men
climb out of the car and lumber
up the street. Both are tall and
heavy set. One audibly sucks a
tooth pick which protrudes be
tween a display of gold teeth.
The other stalks along—the very
epitome of a guardian of the law.
They stop in front of the Barber
Shop next door. I hear one of
them drawl. •Tall the Wagon;
Matthews" and instinctively Ii
know that some poor unfortunate
soul will spend a?i uncomfortable j
night away from home.
* * #
A patter of feet, a chugging
sound, and the shrill toot of a ten
cent whistle and 1 know Easy
Walking Tom is at my door. He
comes in and stands for a minute
with heels together and cap
crossed on his breast in a formal
military,, salute. After exchang
ing a few puJfry remarks with
me, he returns to his cart, solemn
ly harnesses himself in, and with
much panting, chugging and
working tip of steam, he trots a
long his way.
* • •
A terrific noise, comparable
only to all of the furies of the in
fernal regions being let loose in a
small enclosure of tin. assails my
ear. With great fear and trembl
ing. I look up. A Model T Ford
of the vintage of 1918 wheezes
pitifully, quivers in every bolt,
gives one last soulful pant and
yields up the ghost in the middle
of the street car track. A very
stout gentleman squeezes out the
one small door with a crank in
his hand. He walks to the front
of the car and begins to restore
some spark of life to his ancient
vehicle. At last he seems to have
struck a responsive chord. The
hack end gives a sudden lurch,
cataclysms of shudders seize the
whole chasis. the stout gentleman
wipes his hrow and squeezes his
bulk under the small steering
wheel once more. With one grand
concerted effort, the car begins to
creep away amidst the discordant
clang of a stalled Street Car and
the scornful honkings of other
automobiles that are showing
their .deep contempt for their
shabby brother.
* * «
The noon whistle begins to
blow. Simultaneously bare leg
ged girls in white aprons run out
of the laundries. Men in overalls
but no shirts carry milk bottles
of coffee from the restaurant a
cross the street. Everything in
the air takes on an appearance of
sudden bustle and industry. Even
T begin to clear off my desk. It
is time to do so—in short, 24th
Street is eating lunch, and to the
noble cause of seeking refresh
ment, I let my task of making
mental snap shots of my favorite
street go until some later date.

Omaha, Nebr.,
July 15, 1932
Dear Ray—
Here goes another “slam” or
should I say declaration of rights?
As far back as 1 could remember
there were movie theatres in
North Omaha. Remember the
old “Diamond”, alias the “Omar'
alias the “Franklin.” Remem
ber the “Alahambra” and that
grand old barn the “Loyal.” All
gone. From the mouldering
wrecks of those old amusement
houses there arose a magnificent
building supported by its every
loyal patrons, “dark Omaha.”
The colored man, seeking a
musement, chose this theatre. Of
course we get our money’s
worth, but in times of depression
when men’s wages are being cut
and very little can be spent for
necessities and recreation, would
not it be called gratitude for the
manager of Omaha’s Little Har
lem’s theatre to reduce the price
of admittance from twenty-five
cents and fifteen cents to twenty
and ten cents? If that manager
doesn’t desire to cut said rates, I
would suggest that he employ
colored to assist him in his busi
ness. Or he may promote con
tests to develope and find talent
in this race. He may encourage
them and influence other promot
ers to give them a “break,” Just
a suggestion to act on. now.
I remain,
D. Eugene Murray.

Little or nothing is said about
the activities of the colored wo
men of this City, yet they play an
important part in the affairs of
the community. No class of cit
izens have felt the pressure in
these days of industrial distress,
more than Negro women.
Unable to secure work, they
have turned their minds to many
pursuits, which have aided them
ami at the same time been of ser
:e - to the community. Mrs.

by Judge Herbert Rhoades. Mrs.
Grace Hutten is with the Assoc
iated Charities, a very difficult
position. Mrs. Hutten’s work
carries her into the homes of our
most destitute people and it rests
upon her decision as to what as
sistance is given. Many unfavor
able comments, that have no justi
fication, are made in regard to
her work.

was a charter member of the Ne
gro Democratic Club, and was
the first colored Democratic
committeewoman in the State of
