RY ROBT. L. MOODY
BROTHERLY GREETINGS
We extend the warmest Chrisc
ian greetings to our brethern who
arc in Omaha this woek in atten
dance to the Kansas, Nebraska
Conference of the AME. Church.
We are gloriously blesed to be
free to meet in such religious ga
therings without secret police and
hampered speech. Tousands of
the faithful are deprived of this
freedom.
With these liberties in our pos
session our duties become greater
Sin. war ,selfishness and unsincer
ity ore underminig the lives of in
diYduals and society. Since the
Church is the soul saving agency
St. Paul’s exhortation to Timothy
is profitable for us today: “Preach
the Word; be instant in season,
out of season.”
If the church (The body of
Christ) will have its rightful fod
er, greed, worldliness and division
must be denounced and forsaken
by all profesors. Then God’s peo
ple Will begin to see ‘ eye to eye”
The Love for which Christ prayed
will become a reality, denominat
ions would dissolve and the world
will beieve that He was sent into
“When the work is all done,
And it’s time for play,
Come on Kats and Chics,
Let’s dig the jive awtay”

Brushing up on the Jive, we’ll
review the Erskine Hawkins’
Dance at Dreamland, 24th and
Grant St.
*
To begin with, you can be know
ing that it was an awful drag to
Omaha for an orchestra to come
all the way from the east to play
and see nothing all night but
fights!!! The whole band thought
less of our reputation after so
many fights!!
The music was fine and the
place was packed like solid sard
ines. Many squares were there
from out-of-town.
Mr. Johnny Burden wfcs with his
steady girl friend from KC.—Her
man Franklin was bugging it out
with his old flame—Eloise Fram
pton.—Penn was with his solid
Chic—Mary Yancy after going to
gether for many suns and many
moons, Doris Pittman and Kenneth
Love were together. Little Joyce
Luckey was kickin a fog with hei
friend. Doris Ware was looking
fine in a red torso dress, with Ed
die Wright- Marjorie Johnson
was doing fine as long as she last
ed. Willard Morgan, was with a
great number of drags during the
evening. Master David Hughes
was well champaroned—and with
Rozella Thomas- Mac Franklin
was with Lois Turner most of the
evening. Jackqualyn Luckey was
with her husband Fred Martin,
Willa Mae Ross spent the evening
with Petie Allen. Clarice Wash
ington was with her old flame,
Johnny Fontaine.
The former Francis Anderson of
Sioux City, Iowa was there with
her husband- Colleen Kincaide

Hoard got high from a half pint
of “Tom Collins”.
Walterine Wright and Bernice
Murdock seemed to enjoy standing
on chairs eyeing a certain Cat.
Both looking fine. Bobby Blair

ette McGee all evening. Charl
otte Hayes and Joe Brooks gave
less for everyone else. Dorothy
Ward was looking sharp indeed!!
Mut and Jeff were spoted coming
in together. Louise Wright knock
ed herself out with a “hillbilly”.
Kate Harris spent 1-2 of the night
with Joe Fagin and Bernard Mar
ooney. Percy Roundtree was with
Marion Gray: Gene Harrison was
with the two Cole sisters: Daisie
and Frances. Eva Doris looked
fine in her pink and blue sport out
fit.
Art and Skin Davis really did
kill themselves- Marksene Fields
was here from Nebraska City Ad
die Hall was with the one and only
—Henry Locke. Bobbie White
ride and A. D- M. arrived late but
we presume that they got their
morey’s worth. Delbert Russell
was looking sharp as ten Kats,
and you can bet that he was on.
i The former Zenobia Harper whs
there drapped on down in a black
and white outfit- Ross Fontaine
was there beefin’ about his cousin,
who played the piano—we’ll take
his word. Summin’ it all up, ev
eryone had a fine time—We hope
