DOINGS AMONG THE DINING CAR AND HOTEL WAITERS By H*pie Just a hint: When you are called ! to one of th« Hoteb or Clubs, in fact | n,ny place to w-crk, go th re to give ! them all you got regardlefeis of the conditions and if you don’t like the conditions, stay away- Take hold and ri ch in just the same as if it ml ant a regular job for you, save ever-thing that you can for the company, and abovo all, prove to them thait you can bi trusted. You can’t tell who is wal ching you and when they ree these good things you do daily, it may mean a. rVrular job, or a repeat d call, or a recommendation to something else. You can never tell. Rem mber I am around and hear them talking. Just a hint. Friends. I musii show you a card of thanks sent by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Owsley to che waiters at #ie Paxton lsVyt w *ek for a little token sent to him during his sick moments. We cann^ do too mucfh for a fellow waiter when sickness claims him, and it maiy call on rV, at any time- It is as follows: The simple words, “i! Thank You” Cannot one half express kfy very ffratefiil fieellngs For all your kindlin’X.s. But take them, for the message Which words cannot convey And read between the lin & to find The thanks I’d like to say. Believe it or not, but the Baker Hearer had it last week that a very popular buss boy who stepped from th i dining room last spring into a V-8, a job and everything that went; with it. had lost everything and would soon be using a 'straight N-16th, but two waiters had to hold their brealth while this young man invited th m for a spin in his V-8. Don't be surprised anything thib young man does. He can really stage a come back, and how! Here’s a good one—Last Wednes day night a ycung waiter who claims to be set when it comes to women, walked up to a girl and remarked thusly. “H llo, what are you holding? I would like very much to see ‘Mae ! Wcrt(; aa the RJtz tonight’ ” her re ply, “I am on my way now. and I will tell her you would like to corn: | up to see her sometime”. Just talk a bit on the job and get your man. Mr. Isler had an auto wreck last week so I am told, and from what I can learn, ifi was some wreck. It sdems to be what we plainly call, “A lideswipe” as he has only one side of his face scratched and (swollen, but maybe it was an inside wreck. He may havij lost his bearings, or he may have put in too much “alcohol” and got over heated. For a mere complete account of the wreck, ask Mr. Calloway. I was talking with Mr. R. Long, a very good friend, and ho reports all : eem to be 0. K. down on the linefev As winter must come, some must go, and the boys will soon scatter farther and farther away. Some will go to Washington to serve the rich, some will follow the isup.hine to Florda, and soma will go with the Backbirds; still some will assist the old folks in that winter sport. “Lay by” Gee! Our good friend known to Us a® Mr. Blue, told the train conductor what part of Ithe Itrain to run last week, and ha also told him, that he would run the observation ear, so true. And so Mr. H. Owsley was put on the car in hope of some cooperation with the conduction so that the train will come in complete and not have one man operating the front and one man operating the back- That’s reason able. Ju,t a review: Mr. Branch tells me that my pal sjidl plays his old tricks Mr. “T” had an order like this: Filet Sole, Baked potatoes, lettuce salad and 1000 Island Dr.esing. He filled it with his old smile like this: Special sirloin steak. F- F. potatoes, combina fcion salad, bread, butter and coffee. Mr. Branch at last admits “you can’t teach an old waiter n w tricks” and aaid he will work harder now than ever with his class of young blood and the new tricks thait will be ex pect d in the game in the near fut ure- Let’s help him and maybe the colored waiters will a.ill be called up on As Christmas will soon be h re why n if; start a Kitty at all the club i and Hotels for the sick. Noth ing would be any b$.ter if we did, and I am sure Santa could never make any kid’a heart jump with joy any more than this would the sick boys, and remember, you always fe.l good over the gifts of a friend from whom you least expect one. Start today and mak i someone happy This column is donated by the Edi tor of the Guide to you as to keep you up on the doings of the waiters and. your co-workers. «Tf you like ft, 0- K. If not kindly drop Mr Galloway a card or ? tter or see him in his office and tell him why. I am sure he will do everything to meet your ap proval- Hoping you all a very merry Christmas, plenty tips- no drunks and a Happy N w Year- I am Your ieporter, Hople NEGRO SCHOOLS ENJOY NOTABLE ART EXHIBIT Invited by White Institution to Share In Artistic Treat—Fifteen Hundred Accept Macon. Ga.. Dec. 15:—An interest ing manifestation of inter-racial cour tesy and good will was evidenced here last week, when Wesleyan College, exclusive school for young Southern white women, opened to the colored peeple of Central Georgia the million dollar Kress exhibit of Italian art. which had been placed temporarily in ,the halls of the college The white populace having shown s* great an interest in the exhibit, Di*. Dyce R- Anderson, president of the institution, felt thali the Negroes also, particularly those connected with the schools and colleges,, should have an opportunity /to see it- According ly he issued a general invitation to the colored people of the section and special invitations to the headjs of tho Negro schools. The response was very gratifying. Some 1500 per son'! accepted the invitation and en joyed the exhibit. Delegations came from Fort Valley School, State Col lege at Forsyth, Central City College, Ballard Institute, and numbers of the public schools The visitors were met by members of the college staff, guided through the exhibit and shown every courtesy on the campus. The incident, it is stated, is characteristic of Wesleyan’s progressive attitude in regard to in terracial matters HERNDON APPEALS GOES TO SUPREME COURT New York—First step in bringing the app al of Angelo Herndon, young Negro Communist leader of the un employed sentenced to from 18 to 20 years on the chain-gang, before the United States Supreme Court, will be taken Monday in /-he filing of the ap peal with the Supreme Court of Geor. gie, which under a new ruling of the U. S. Supreme Court must first par Sj upon it. was announced today by Anna Damon, acting national secre tary of the International Labor De fense The appeal papers have been pre pared by Whitney North S.tymour, of '-he firm of Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett, well-known constitutional authority, and former assistant solici tor-general of the United States.

In a revised opinion how ever, after the court realized '-hat this decision was clearly unconstitutional, it stated tha: “It would be sufficient if he intended thait it (forcible resist ance to che au'thorty of the state) s|hould happen at any itime within which he might reasonably expect his influencj to continue to be directly operative in causing such action by those whom he sought to induce.” Herndon was convicted on evidence that he organiz-.d a demonstration for unemployment relief in which both Negroes nd whl.es participated to-1 gether Ft>P BACKACHE, KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLE Stop Getting Up Nights I Hen ’s one good way to flush harm ful waste from kidneys and stop blad der irritation that often causes scanty, burning and !spnarting passge.

To Improve Barracks: Decoration and improvement of the interior of the barracks is going to start in earnest according to information from Captain Clark. Captain Blanton Inspects Camp Captain Blanton, the Sub-District Commander of the Southeast, inspect ed our camp and found it one of the best in the whole southeast, and tha.’s something that makee us all feel good. It shows cooperation, and I must say. that is the best of all. It’s Ike my teacher said in my ;«chool days, “Life is a beautiful thing when you stop ito think about it.” There is the endless expanse of God's blue sky over head, the trees, and the perp t ual song of the birds. Then too, there is love and friend; hip. These two subtle qualities are vitally necessary to life and happiness. Of course there are a number of little incidents that tend to mar our moments, of happi ness but on the whole, if we face life cheerfully and with optimistic views in our minds, and push forward, I am sure that we still will find a great deal of joy and beauty in this old world of ours. The artists, singers* and dramatics catch something of life’s beauty and try, in their own manner, to hand irt down to us. As Emil Gocker says, “The strongholds of life yield to the man who can dare with a smile, lose gracefully, and dare again, and again.” Men such as he are invincible; they have drawn the fangs of nysfortunu and shorn it of its power of harm. Life, we’ve been long together, through pleasant and through cloudy wealther, ’tis hard to part when friends aro together, Perhaps twill cause a sigh, a tear, then steal away, give little warning, choose thine own time, say not good night. but in some bright clime bid me good morning.
