Trojan Club News
Hello, Folks!
Well, you should have been there.
Where? At the Trojan’s »'nnerelub
Eanquet. It was worth the pr.ce
alone to see the beautiful tables, and
dinner gowns that were displayed
there. The aroma of flowers remind
ed one of spring, the beautiful
gowns reminded one of Paris and the
entre affair gave one a bird's eye
view of an imagnary paradise.
The toasts from the var.ous clubs
voiced their sentiment on behalf of the
Trojan Girls. Mr. W. L. Myers made
a w'onderful toast-master, and the way
he went about things, I should think
he’d quit his present position and be
come a radio announcer. The Trojans
had pou been there, would have re
minded you of the kn ghts of chivalry
when men and women were mighty
proud of it, when they gallantly gave
up their places at the table for some
guests who were standing. The Tro
jans regretted very much this short
age that occurred, but we’ll try our
best to make it up in some way to
you folks in the near future.
On January 17, 1936, there will be
another Innerclub Banquet sponsored
by the Trojan Club. We hope to see
all the faces that were at our first af
fair and all their friends likewise. The
judges of the most beautifully decor
ated table made their decision on the
Sunday Musical Club, which is direct
ed by Rev. J. S. Williams. The prlXe,
as we have told you before, was a sil
ver loving cup. Their club name will
be engraved on it. In brief I’ll try to
give you an idea of how the winning
table looked. Starting from the cen
ter of the table was a beautiful harp
with shiny, silvery material. Jt was
made like the harp that David played
on in the days of old. Leading from
this beautiful harp were strings with
notes leading to each place card.
There were also cut flowers on each
end of the table. Of course, I can’t
go into all the details, but you can
imagine it was a beautiful sight.
If Mr. W. L. Myers, the toast mas
ter, and Mrs. Dorothy Pollard, the
Trojan president, don’t have an awful
case of larngit.'s,, it won’t be their
fault because they were both the cen
ter of attraction over the ‘mike’.
The Trojans thank all of our guests
for coming out to our first annual af
fair. W’e hope to make the others
bigger, better and more congenial
with all the clubs.
There was a beautiful solo number
rendered, but due to the dense crowd,
I was unable to get the golden voiced
soprano’s name.
I’d like to mention that the Inner
club Banquet was headed by the Fi
nance and Social Committees, of
which Miss Louise Fletcher and Mrs.
Mary Ann Elliot are the respective
chairmen.
Well, we’ll be seein’ ya’.

DOINGS AMONG THE DINING
CAR AND HOTEL WAITERS
By Hopie
I am indeed glad to hear of so
many reading my column and >! will j
’ •ntinue to write for you so long as
you enjoy reading it. After it gets
'■ale. which seems to be a habit with
Omahans, regardless of whatever it
happens to be, I will try something
new for you. Thanks, and here it is
right out of the pan.
I happened up just in time to hear
young buss bay reading the paper
^he other da l and he read,, “Strange
As It Seems”. This is what it read:
‘The first four Presidents of the Uni
ted Sttes left office at the age of
65 year old. And he quickl; began
naming them thusly: “George Wash
ington, Abe Lincoln-” and at this
point Mr. Scoggins, who happened
to be near, also, interrupted him by
saying “Lincoln was not among the
first four presidents.” M^ iShear
ron said, “Oh, yes, he was. Didn’t
he free us?” Oh gee!
I would like to say here before we
go any deeper into the doings of the
•men that we must say or rather send
few encouraging words to the folks
down home in regards to their sons,
Tohn Henry, Joshua, Jeremiah and a
few more of those Biblically named
sons, ‘Those who have stayed up over
one of these ten below zero winters
will not be back, and the ones that
came back before we could educate
em along the Ines so as to be some
help to you, we are sorry and should
they care to return, kindly assist
them along the lines so as to be some
for your trouble. Because we will
assure you that if we get them in the
packing houses, where two thirds
of them go, they will be able, should
they return to j'ou, after breathing
the high and free air, to do your but
chering and instruct you in the new
method of preserving your meats.
And should he happen to be lucky
enough to fit in with us, like a few of
your sons, don’t expect him back”.
Yet he is exchanging cotton for white
linen and unmovable white lights.
You must expect the same ‘Dis ‘ere”
and ‘Dat ’air” in your letters until
we can teach him the English lan
guage. After we get him above that
southern lingo, which seems to be a
combination of kew tongue and Afro
you will be proud of him.
Listen to this: Last Monday night
one of n our sons had a party' and the
room they were to eat in had a
meeting in it, and when this young
man looked and saw it was 5:20 p.
m., and hi® party was to eat at six,
he said, ‘Why don’t dem dar peoples
get out of my Papu’s room ? I kill ^
dem”. But just give us a little time
and when you see your son, you will J
think he went abroad, or just finish
ed Yale or Harvard. Time will tell.
A certain young buss bo'/ un ted
with a Christian body lately and he j
really means business this time. All
he says lately, “Lawdy, mussy”, or
"God will take care of me”. True,
so much so if you help yourself a
little.
Well the laugh is on me.
Sometime ago a buss bo" rode
home with me and we had a very
windy night, and off went the top of
my car. This young man got out and
finished pulling it off, and did he get
a kick out of it. f’ll say he did. And
he never rides with me anymore.
You blame him)?
Had a chat with some U. P. boys,
and all seems to be OK. Reports a
veryr good travel, which means very
good tips. OK boys. May it con
tinue. Let’s hope.
Now men: I would like to have just
a friendly talk with you and now will
be just as good as anytime. Now
you see where the Fontenelle is gett
ng ready to open up. They have a
new malnager, and from what I hear
he seems to be OK., and he is expect
ing Mr. Hicks to give him some real
waiters. Now, don’t go up there ex
pecting Mr. Hicks to hire you just
because he knows yoif, or because you
can serve a banquet. He must know
if you are qualified for an ala-carte
waiter, one who can go and get it
and then serve it. And no one knows
any better than yourself, and if you
can’t, stay away and continue on serv
ing banquets. This will help all of
us and -will save Mr. Hicks the trouble
of turning you down. The same goes
for Mr. Branch at the Paxton and
Mr. Harrold at the Chamber of Com
merce, in fact, all of the head wait
ers of the city. I mentioned Mr.
H.cks because this is a new man
ager and he will be watching
everything. Remember, these hotel
men are looking for the best, and
they must have it, and it Is up to you
to give them what they want or
someone else will. Take it, or leave
it, OK.
M -. Branch came back to his posi
tion Tuesday after giving in to old
man sickness last Friday. He was
feeling very good. All were more
than glad to see him back. His dut
:es did not go undone, and all seem
• d to be OK. Even last Saturday
when the din.ng room filled up, all
went off very nice. Thanks.
Mr. Henry Levels, who has a very
nice position as instructor down at
Woodson Center, was surPrsed with
c. birthday party, by his sister and her
husband. Mr. and Mrs. Branch in
vited his friends and classmates to ,
their home, and all enjoyed a very
good evening. A cake presented him
had all the touch and makings of the j
latest and the table where the guests
were served, stood out in all ways.
Mr. Levels said he doesn’t care about
getting old if all parties come up
like this one. May you enjoy many
more, Is my wish, Mr. Levels.
The new buss boy at the Paxton
Hotel said that the elevator worries
him when he has a tray. Well, ask
Barquette about it. He said the
floor and the doors all seem to worry
him. Because he sent him out in the
street last week. Tough.A new boy
wth a tray and a big fat Barquette
between two doors. Anythng could
have happened. Anyway the fat boy
lost. Hereafter only stand in a door
when two doors are side by side, not
opposite each other, old pal.
Mr. Woodrow Maeklin came back
from the big city last week and this
young man really looked good. He
was waiting table in Chicago, but
if he can land a regular job here, he
will reman home. We hope he will.
He is one of our younger waiters and
we need him. Last year one of our
waiters was singing, “I am looking
at the world through rose colored
glass, Everything is rosy now”.
But he is singing now, after a view
and taste of new life, “Oh, sweet
rrv'stery of life, at last, I’ve found
you”. Read and think. This is a
one time talk. So drop it.

“EGOISM”
An article in a local Newspaper,
which comes out like a thief in the
night, once in a while without anyho'1
' -’-wing it, and with m rrogram, yet
claiming to represent 12,000 Negroes,
when, in fact, there are scarcely one j
hundred who know that there is any j
such paper, referred to the colored
ministers of this CiU • as cowards.
Why? Because they do not attack
business places in and about 24th and
Lake Streets because they do not em
ploy Negro clerks. The colored Mini
sters of this city know that it w'ould
do more harm than good to make
sneb an attack. The' i know, just as
vTo know that Ibis paper s not sin
cere in its attack. The ministers also
know' that if the people who operate
these businesses would give this paper
as much as a fifty cent ad, they would
be praised to the skies regardless qj'
w’hat the 12,000 Negroes, whom this
paper claims to represent, thought.
There is not a solitary business con
cern located in this district that de
serves such an attack, and the minis
ters know this to be true. They are
using their time and influence to
teach higher deals of self appreciation
and self admiration to their congre
gations, which will develop them into
self supporting groups.
We are opposed to class distinction
built upon color.
RANDOLPH GOES BEFORE THE
MEDIATION BOARD
A news item in the “Pittsburg
Courier” Jan. 10th, 1935, states that
A. Phillip Randolph, national Presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters, appeared before the
Mediation Board at Washington where
rates of pay, rules and working con- j
ditions for Pullman Porters artd Maids
were discussed. It wras further
stated that an application will be of
ficially filed with the Board to secure
its service for the settlement of the
question as to what organization is
the lawful representative of the Pull
man Porters.
Mr. Randolph, intimated that there
was more than one organization rep
resenting the Porters and Maids. But

he failed to name the other organiza
tion. However we presume that the
decision that Mr. Randolph wishes, is
betw'een the Brotherhood and the
Porters and Maids Protective Assoc.a
tion with headquarters in Chicago. An
organization composed of Porters and
Maids who are now in active service
and said to have met all of the re
quirements that the law demands and
operated without outside influence, an
Organization under the New Deal for
self preservation at a normal cost
and with a more satsfactory program
than the Brotherhood, that has caused
so much dissatisfaction among the
Porters and Maids.
We believe that the Mediation
Board in its investigation will find that
the Porters and Maids Protective As
sociation is favorably received by a
large number of Porters and Maids.
Who feel that they can better settle
an" question that may arise between
them and the Pullman Company than
any outside influence. And will agree
that the Porters and Maids Protective
Association is the most logical organi
zation to represent the Porters and
Maids in-as-much as it costs less, and
;s .n no sense a Company Union as it
has been inferred by some of Mr.
Randolph supporters.

24th and Grant Streets,
Om*aha, Nebraska—
At present there are only three
Omaha boys left in camp, Chris
Davis, Joe Glover and Matthew
Barnes. This seems to be a sur
vival of the fittest wherein the
weak die and the strong live. In
the ten months 1hat we have been
here, we have not regretted it, for
Camp life is what you make of it.
The three men or may we say,
the three sailors who are sailing
the good old ship of North Oma
ha are doing three different jobs,
e^eh an artist in his own right.
Matthew Barnes, a laborer over
his crew of men must see that all
is well in the field. Joe Glover
a eook, must see that the meals
•”'o properly prepared by his un
derstudies. and should the work
get the host of anyone or should
the ford not be agreeable then
'’br;s Fi-s+ Aid Man and
s attendant a re always ready
to came to the aid of the ailing
■f '•on.
Me three sailors believe wc
have found the scerct to success
It is as easy as ABC’s
Ambition,
Brains, and
Character.
And in closing we leave you
fhis thought. Posing as the three
Sailors our toast:
Heres to the greatest of ships.
Tts Compass is the human heart.
Its shells are bursting with good.
Dove is the smokeless powder
that impels the projectiles that
send it forth. The Prince of
peace is its Captain. T propose
as the comsumation of our desire,
that indurable, indestructible
battleship whose armor nothing
can pierce.—FRIENDSHIP.

FACIALS FROM TEEN AGE TO
THE MATRON
ARTICLE 17.
Last week in my .introductory art.
cle on facial treatments, I grouped
my patrons into four groups accord
ing to the ages. You remember,
Group I, girls from 15 to 20 years,
group 2, women from 20 to 30 .'ears,
group 3. women from 30 to 40 years,
and group 4, the m.atrcn, from 40 to
60 vears.
This week, I shall explain the par
*>rlar facial we give for those in
group I, the young girl from 15 to 20
years.
The treatment for g rls of this age
is primarily a cleansing treatment to
remove black heads, relieve clogged
pores and to arrest serious blemishes
and to correct a too-dry or too-oily
skin, ft is, however, very seldom that
we have to treat a skin that is too
dry because we, as a race, have o.ly
skins. When the skin is too dry, we
use a light, lubricating cream, and
when too oily, we use a light astrin
gent lotion which acts also as a pow
der base.
The teen age miss seldom needs a
simulating tonic or vigorously deep
massage, because the skin is wrinkle
free, well toned, full of life and vital
ity. All it needs is an extra thorough
cleansing to retain its normal condi
t.on. This should be given every
month or six weeks. This treatment
is given to the teen age miss of nor
mal skin condition.
Comedones or black heads constitute
?. very frequent skin disease most of
ten found in this group, the trouble
being an inflamaton of the oil glands
of the skin and a blocking up of the
outlet of these glands. This condition
needs scientific, systematic treatment.
The general health is often a factor
vn such cases. Exercise in open air,
regular bathing, free action of the
bowels, a nutritious diet—these are
important aids to success in treat
ment. In addition the face must be
washed with very warm water, a re
1 commended facial soap each morn.ng
and a special cream rubbed in well
each night. In some instances it is
well to use the Antiseptic Lotion each
morning. These cases require a
deal of attention and must be watched
constantly to obtain desired results,
but when properly treated the results
are usually gratifying.
