WHAT’S COOKIN’
After Saturday there are only two
more sundowns until the st'mp.

Even the soldiers’ Uncle don’t mind.

Can you imagine a studd march
ing up to the drugstore with a buf
falo and asking for a copy of the
paper. Was he trying to be funny,
or was he busted, and didn’t know
how much a. copy is?
*****

Why has C. S. taken such a fancy
to visiting her Aunt who lives a
cross from the new Cat—Could It
be her aunt she wants to see or Is
it because she likes the street?

Freedom of Enterprise!
([One of the Essentials of a Democracy)
Of the principles for which America Is
fighting, none is more important than
©ur freedom of enterprise.
What is that? It is the right of every
American to be his own boss, if he so
chooses. It is the right of a man to buy
his own stock of goods, or develop his
own service, and offer to fill the needs
of his neighbors. It is every American’s
precious right to exchange fair dealing
for a fair and honest profit. Free enter
prise is the principle upon which Amer
ican business is built—be it the corner
grocery or the great factory.
Today our free America is threatened,
but the spirit that developed America’s
free enterprise—the initiative, the toil,
the will to do — will again spell final
Victory! ---

A MESSAGE TO
-GALLOWAY
(continued from page 2)
week before. Did you know that,
C. C?
—CCM.—
Mrs. Lillian Burke, mother of
j Mrs. Ray Clater, 2816 Miami Street,
is much better now that the warm
weather has really set in.
—CCM—
And here is something, C. C. Mrs.
Babe Rose, 2513 Decatur Street, sent
word, though sick in bed, from an
attack of the flu, she wanted to be
sure to get the Guide, and so I took
one up to her, and will see that she
gets one each week,
j —CCM—
! By the way, C. C. if all the peo
ple that have promised me that they
were going to stop in the office and
see you, actually call, you will be a
mighty busy man. That seems to
be a standard reply when I mention
an overdue subscription payment—
‘‘I’ll drop into the office and ar
range it with Mr. Galloway.”
—CCM—
Mentioning, dropping into the of
fice, reminds me that somebody, I
forget who just now, called and
wanted a little publicity on some
personal matter. They wanted a
bout two or three dollars worth of
space, free, but when I mentioned
subscription to them they couldn't
even afford twenty-fjve cents a
month. I refused to give them the
[ publicity. Did I do right, C. C?
—CCM—
What's that building at Ohio and
24th C. C?
—CCM—
Clarence McDavid, graduate of
St. Benedicts, across the street from
your plant, and a former employee
of yours, was in the office last week.
From him I learned that he is with
the Coast Guard, New York City,
and that he is visiting his grand
parents, Mrs. Marie Wright, and
John Wright, for about two weeks.
He intends leaving Omaha, for Slay
ter, Missouri, where he will marry
his sweetheart, Felice Lallis, after
her graduation from high school.
Isn’t that something?
—CCM—
Thinking of Misouri reminds me
that the wife of Rev. C. C. Reynolds
2881 Miami Street, was telling me
that the Reverend, pastor of the
Clair Chapel. 22nd and Miami Streets
has gone to visit his mother and fa
ther in Sedalia, Missouri, and then
on to his brother, Dr. Reynolds, in
St. Lotjis, under whose professional
care he will remain for a few days.
—CCM—
”ra- J- vv. Williams, mother rf
Mrs. Katherine Piggue, 2637 Parker
Street, arrived home from the hos
pital, last week. The warm sunny
days are adding to her physical
strength.
—CCM—
Mrs. Douglas Redden, sister-in
low of Mrs. Dorothy Redden, 2700
Blondo Street, died just a short
while ago.
—CCM—
As usual, Corporal Joseph II.
Headley, Fort Leonard Wood, Mis
souri, was a week-end visitor.
—CCM—
I can’t think of anybody in thn
army without wondering, c. c
what are all those planes flying
over Omaha, almost all hours ff
the day and night? Is it a military
secret to tell me?

A young chap, studiously engag
ed in painting the passers-by, caught
my attention one day. I stopped to
chat with him and learned that he
is Frank Paris, 2022 Grace Street,
and while only 18 years of age, he
is making a hobby of painting. I
think he studied in Tech, and North
High Schools, and has had paintings
on display in several art institutes.

Your nece, C. C. dropped in one
evening when I was working here.
She is terribly interested in her de
fense work that she is taking up.
You know who I mean, Mrs. Julia
Galliway, 2814 North 28th Street.
—CCM—
I told you once before, C. C. about
my working on a patriotic radio
program back in Michigan. I am
grateful to the ‘‘We’re All Americ
ans” committee there for sending
me their subsequent scripts after
my departure.
—CCM—
Here’s a dog story. It’s no news
to you, C. C. but it is startling to
me. Remember, Mrs. Parker’s dog,
Joe Louis? He was down here one
evening. You sent him home—!o
Mrs. Marie Parker, 2825 North 24th
Street. I saw you send him home
but I didn't think he would go any
where. Remember, you told me to
phone Mrs. Parker and tell her that
Joe Louis was on his way home anl
for her to open the front door?
Well, I phned her, but imagine my
surprise when she said that the dog
—Joe Louis—had already arrived.
It seems increditable, but true. Page

I met an old friend of yours, C. C.
He is Edward King, 2706 Map’e

and a very affable gentleman in

there, hasn’t he?
—CCM—
And I seem to be bumping into E.
W. McCowan, the well known in
surance man almost everywhere.

Mrs. Sicily Taylor, age 65, 2815

funeral. The Rev. R. Johnson, of

Little Melvin McCaw, the four

my best cooperators, Mrs. Bertha
Johnson, 2324 Charles Street, gave
me all the details about that dog
“Dopey” about which you mu3t
have read in the white papers. You
remember he is the dog that was
smuggled to Australia by some sold
iers. Well, I now learn that
“Dopey” belonged to a colored sold
ier, 1st Sgt. Albert Riley, of Oak
land, California. You know when
“Dopey” died he got notices in all
the white papers but none of them
mentioned that he belonged to a
soldier of our race.

Did you read the Reader's Digest
for May 1942? If so, you certainly
read the story about “Jungle Doc
tor' 'in which was described the ex
periences of Dr. Aaron Manasses
McMillan, formerly of Omaha, but
now of Angola, West Africa. Well,
1 met his mother-in-law, Mrs. s. E.
Boone, 2892 Miami Street. She lias
a lovely home here and two of Dr.
McMillan's boys, Aaron and Robert,
are making their home with he,
and going to school here in Omaha.

Thanks to Mrs. Bertha Johnson,
another news tip came my way.
Running the story down I learned
that Mr. and Mrs. Tillman, of Kan
sas City, Missouri, arrived in the
city last Saturday to spend the ween
end with friends, at the residence
of Mrs. Beatrice Wilson, 2212 Lake
Street, but were forced to remain
for nearly a week.
Saturday evening their large
Buick car was parked in front of
the Lake Street residence when a
long came another car, driven by
one Howard K. Kettlehut, 131 North
37th Street, and while no one was
injured the Kettlehut car almost
ruined one side of the Tillman car.*
The real human-interest slant how
ever is in the fact that the soldier—
H. K. Kettlehut, flew from Calif
ornia to Omaha to spend Mother's
Day with his parents but due to
the accident, early Sunday morn
ing, had to spend part of Sunday
elsewhere.
—CCM—
Imagine my surprise, C. C. when
Mrs. Lucy Asby, 2923 Lake Street,
invited me into her parlor and there
I found the parlor and the dining
room filled with people. It didn't
take much of a news sense to real
ize that here was a story. There
was too. I discovered that the as
semblage was preparing to go to a
funeral. The funeral of Richard
King, 1207 North 27th Street, who
died last Sunday. Rev. Travis per
formed the rites at the J. D. Lewis
Chapel, 2310 North 24th Street.
Mr. King is survived by one son.
Hyland King, in San Francisco.
Two brothers, Rufus King of Des
