You May be Affected
by War Restrictions
on Telephones
To help conserve vital war materials, it has
been necessary for the Government to place
additional restrictions on the installation
and replacement of telephone service and
equipment.
We are cooperating fully in the saving of
materials needed in the war effort and, although
the restrictions will affect many of our cus
tomers, we are doing our utmost to provide
good telephone service.
The effect of the restrictions on requests
for telephone service or equipment depends
upon the conditions and circumstances of each
particular case.
In most localities we still are able to install
some type of service for people who move or
want a telephone and our business office will
be glad to furnish you full information Giving
us as much advance notice as possible will
help us to serve you better.

of facilities." The Red Cross re
mains in control of emergency re
lief in all disasters not caused by
enemy attack—i. e.t by flood, fire,
accident or sabotage—and will be
accorded support of governmemol
agencies in these emergencies.
. I
The agreement. Director SchoUr
explained, provides that during an
enemy attack and in the emerg
ency period immediately following,
all services for persons in the dis
aster area shall be directed from
the control center of the command
er of the local Citizens Defence
Corps, and that care of injured shall
be under direction of the chief of tile
defense corps emeregency medical
service. Emergency medical servic
es include operation of first aid
posts, stretcher teams and ambul
ances.
Civilian defense council are furtn
er instructed that Red Gross facil
ities for providing food, clothing and
temporary shelter for disaster vic
tims will be placed at dispo.sal of fne
councils, in case of enemy attack
and that the defense corps comman
der shal be responsible for directing
operation of these facilities. Red
Cross workers serving in these
functions will be registered as Civ
ilian Defense volunteers.
Defense councils are being warn
ed by Director Sholtz against dupli
cating the emergency housing, feel
ing and clothing relief services of
the Red Cross. He announced that
in eomumnities where defense coun
cils have set up similar facilities,
these facilites should be coordinat
ed with the Red Cross or consolidat
ed with the Red Cross service axil
other available public welfare emer
gency services.
The Red Cross-OCD agreement on
control of emergency services, he
emphasized, specifically applies only
to enemy attack emergencies and
does not disturb the primary func
tions of the Red Cross.
The Red Cross will continue the
recruiting and training of nurses’
aides, the providing of dressings and
bandages and the equipping of am
bulances for the emergency medical
service division of civilian defense.
It will continue, also, its training
courses in first aid for civilian de
fense volunteers assigned to the em
ergency medical division or to other
defense posts.
After an emergency period follow
ing a disaster, resulting either from
' enemy attack or from other causes,
1 relief operations will be taken over
by the Federal Security Administra
tion and the Office of Defense
I Health and Welfare Services and
will be carried on with federal funds.
Local communities and the Red
Cross are thus called upon to bear
disaster relief expenses only fy,"
limited periods.
A MESSAGE TO
-GALLOWAY
(Continued from naee 1)
so I shall skip over them.
—CCM—
As I walk around these streets, C.
C. and you know I do walk around
them from morning to night, I am
becoming to be quite a character.
People recognize me and they hai]
me. offering some bit of news, or
asking some questions about news
matters that they think I should
know. Let me scratch this thing I
call a brain and see what I can re
cp.11 for the past week.
—CCM—
Someone asked me how Dr. Len
nox was getting along. I told them
that I thought he was doing nicely.
As a matter of fact, C. C. I didn’t
even know who Dr. Lennox was. I
hadn’t even heard of him. That’s
excusable for a person only having
been in Omaha for a few weeks,
isn’t it, C. C? Anyway when I got
back to the office I checked up a nd
called Mrs. Lennox and I learned
that the Doctor was taken seriously
ill and had to go to the hospital for
a hurried operation. Just before I
wrote this I again phoned Mrs. Len
nox and she said the doctor w’xs
resiing fairly rgiht now.
—CCM—
Before I forget it, C. C. let me tell
you about the most amusing inci
dent that has happened to me since
my arrival in Omaha. You know,
C. C. one of my worst faults, if a
fault it is, is in being precise. Well,
a young lady, you know her, sold me
a ticket to a state-wide musical and
she told me that it would commence
at promptly 8:00 o'clock. Naturally,
I accepted her word and contemp
lated on being there—the Pilgrim
Baptist Church, 1320 North 25th
Street, at the exact hour.
You know how it is, C. C. I have1
to go around in the evenings to try
to catch these people whom X can’t
catch in the day and it was rather
late when I got back to the house
to clean up and change clothes.
I rushed across the street to the
taxi stand and every taxi was en
gaged. I pulled out my press carl
that was given to me by the Writers’
Guild, back East, of which Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, is honorary
chairman, and which I had never
used in Omaha before, and made an
impressive showing of an emer
gency, and as the result some other
I>eople had to wait but I got a taxi
immediately. I was whisked to the
church. I was so afraid I would be
late. And lateness to me, accord
ing to my peculiar religion is sac
religious. On arrival at the church ,
I saw a number of people standing
around outside. My heart sank. I j
was too late- There seemed to be an
over-flow audience, for quite a mint

ber of people were standing around
on the outside. However, I picked
up courage, rush through the stand
ing-throng and entered the church
but lo and behold there was no one
inside. No one even to take my
ticket at the door. However, I went
in and took a seat. Thanks to al
lah. I was at least on time. I didn't
have to wait long, maybe a hair
hour or so, when the patrons start
ed filling the auditorium. For div
ersion we had a little comedy skit.
Some of the stronger-back men held
a contest of some sort. The idea
seemed to be to lift a piano from o> e
place and put it in another without
turning over too many chairs. Ev
entually the feat was accomplished
and soon the program commenced,
exactly on time, except that all of
the time my watch was on fast
time instead of Omaha time. Can
you beat that ,C .C?
Of the program itself; someone
woke me up when it started; I en
joyed many numbers. In a small
town like Omaha I don’t suppose I
dare say which numbers I liked the
best. Maybe the one I didn’t like
the best might be among your best
subscribers, and then I wrould be in
dutch wouldn’t I? However, for
better or for worse, for more sub
scribers or less subscribers, 111
mention the numbers that made an
impression upon me.
To Miss Ethel Jones (who is a mu-1
sic teacher I understand) goes a
great big hand for collecting such
an array of talent and no doubt
each was tops but I , a poor dumb
music criterion, couldn't distinguish
the best from the next best. Here's
what pleased me, however, and what
T would go again to hear.
The Friendly Five, Quartette, ac
cording to the program, consisting
of Wm. Hubbard 2nd tenor; Eddie
Hailist .tenor; Leslie Loud, baritone;
Fjtch & Givens, Bassos.
The trio, Jewell Ware, Mattie
Fort, and Florence Joiner.
I don’t remember the song but
that voice of Jacqueline Johnson
certainly captivated my attention.
Has she ever taken voice lessons, C.
C?
And the solo by Lee McGee, ten
or, accompanied by Miss Berniece
Cray, had ev erybody tapping their
feet. I believe it was named, “I
Knew I’ve Got Religion” or some
thing like that.
The Zion Harmony Four, Leroy
Gude, Earl McCutcheon. Charles
Williams and R. Reynolds, remind
ed you of one of the real old-time
jubilee quartettes.
The solo of Mrs. Blanchlee Wright
and also the solo of Miss Ruth For
rest, accompanied by her -sister.
Miss Audrey Forrest, were most
pleasing.
I needn’t say, or need I, that the
soprano solo of Miss Bernice Gray,
accompanied by Mrs. Gladys And
erson, was particularly pleasing.
I also liked the voice of Harr()!d
Butler.
One simply had to admire the ver
scatile talents of Sylvester Stroud
for he either featured or was ac
companist to many ifumbers.
—CC ‘-I—
Speaking of churches. C. C. thanks
to the little girl who writes, '‘The
Girls On the Streets” for answering
one of my impudent questions. I
shall go around to that building—
the church—and enjoy their serv
ices. I’ll tell you about it, C. C.
—CCM—
Thinking of the author of, “The
Girls On The Streets,” reminds me
that a letter arrived during the
week .from one, Corp. Homer C.
Anderson, Headquarters Detach
ment, 7th E. T. Group, Fort Leon
ard Wood, Missouri, United States
Army .reading as follows:
“In the latest edition of the Guide,
‘‘Girls on the Streets,” was erron
eously omitted. Request that it be
sent to me at your earliest conven
ience if possible, as it is my favor
ite page. Thank you. Homer C.
Anderson.”
How do you like that little Miss??
—CCM—
Some more association of thought.
Thinking of the Army, I am re
minded that only today I called on
Mrs. Charles N. Panky, Jr., of 3110
Corby Street, whose hubby is in the
officers araining camp at Aberdeen
Proving Grounds, Maryland, and
what do you suppose she told mo?
Hold you breathe! This is good
news. Some. Mr. Burns. 1 beli‘v.?
she said, for whom her hubby usc l
to cook, or something, and who is
an official of the Union Pacific, had
given her a pass so that she caul
go and see her hubby. Sbe expec's
to leave on the 14th. Isn’t that
grand. C. C?
—CCM—
Mrs. Gladys B. Anderson. 2110
Ohio, left Tuesday night for a few
weeks vacation with her parents and
other relatives in Louisiana, Miss
ouri. Mrs. Anderson, as you know,
is the charming wife of the Rev. L.
W. Anderson, pastor of the Morn
ing Star Baptist Church, 2608 Fran
klin Street.
—CCM—
Am I lucky or not? I called at
the Norman residence, 2873 Binney
Street, and just got there in time
to get some ice cream, cake, and
cool-ade, that was being served at
the party that little nine year old
Jessie Norman was given to nine of
her special friends. Really, it was
refreshing, too!
—CCM—
Do you know Babe Bender, C. C?
He is one of your subscribers and
lives at 1616 North 23rd Street. I
seem to meet him wherever I go
and he always stops me to chat a
bout something that appears in this
message of yours. If a thousand
others read it as zealously as he
does I couldn’t make much progress
because they would all be stopping
me to make some comment or oth
er. I like it though. Wouldn’t
you, C. C?
Have you ever been in Gary, Ind
iana. C. C? That’s where the larg
est steel mills in the country are
working the clock around. Well.
Herman Lowe, husband of Mrs.
Louise Lowe, 2606 Hamilton Street,
one of your subscribers, has been
working for the past two years. He
recently spent a week at home. They
must have had a joyous time.
—CCM—
One of the popular credit houses,
downtown, called up, C. C. and
wanted some informtaion about one
of your subscribers. I was glad to
give it to them for that particular
subscriber was A-l in my books.
That meant that she kept her word.
Did I do right, in recommending
her, C. C?
—CCM—
I’m sorry .however, that I couldn’t
recommend some of your subscrib
ers. Do you know, C. C. that I’ve
been cutting them off your subscrip
tion lists? If I’ve done wrong, I a
pologize, but I just can’t get used
to people who make promises af
ter promises and then never hve
up to any of them. I just haven’t
got patience to run after them. How
you have tolerated them all these
years is beyond me. I simply cut
them off the list and mark them
‘‘unreliable” and I hope you will not
censor me for doing so. Do yoj
want a list of those cut off because
they are unreliable, in my opinion?
I haven’t the list before me but I
will give it to you, if you want ti?
— CCM—
Here’s the kind of subscriber I
like, C. C. The other evening while
in the H.&M. (Yes, I patronize all
the live places.) a fellow hailed me
and asked if I wasn’t Clifford C.
Mitchell. He reintroduced himself
(I had met him once) and said he
wanted to take out a renewal for a
year as he didn’t want to miss my
writings. He is Edward King, 2706
Maple Street. That’s the kind of
a reader to have, isn’t it, C. C?
—CCM—
Here’s another kind of a reader,
but I like her. She’s Mrs. Maizie Me
Carroll. I met her coming up the
street one day on 26th Street. She
was wearing some blue, pink , or
■what have you slacks. I saw her
from afar. She attracted my atten
tion as who wouldn’t. But imagine
that upon meeting her she bawied
me out to a fare-thee-well. Do you
know why? Remember, I recently
wrote about her fixing her garden
and I said that she said she was do
ing it only to give her neighbors
something to talk about. Well, the
neighbors talked all right. Talked
too much. And, poor me, I’m the
fall guy. Maizie was working so

C. C. did you know that the Jen
kins’ were celebrating their fortieth
wedding anniversary (I believe)?
You must know all about it, and a
bout them. I, of course, don’t, for
having been here just five weeks I
haven’t begun to get acquainted.
Anyway, Mrs. Jessie Hilton, 2403

that she was one of the co-hostess

They were:
Mr. and Mrs. Zeke Jenkins of Chi

Mrs. Dorothy Redden, 2709 Blondo

Remember, C. C. last week when
I mentioned about my having lived
in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada'.’ One
of your subscribers. Mrs. Ray Clay
ter, 2816 Miami Street, stopped me
to talk about Edmonton. It seems
that she and her family have been
there several times. We talked of
the olden days when colored emi
grants first went to Western Can
ada.
1 remember ,C. C. one of the first
“breaks" I got in the Journalise]*
game occurred about that time. I
was doing special feature work on
a daily white paper in Edmonton—
The Edmonton Daily Capitol—and
the Immigration authorities stop
ped trainloads of emigrants from
Oklahoma and thereabouts, at Ern
erson-Noyes—the boundary line and
wouldn’t let them enter Canada.
My paper sent me there to cover
the story. I covered it and the
Canadian Associated Press used it
throughout Canada. Later, Mc
Lean’s Magazine picked jt up and
had me write a special feature art
icle on it. That really gave me a
break in Canadian journalism. That
was years ago, however. So many
years ago that I am ashamed to ad
mit it.
