PhoneJA-4635 I The white Horse Inn with that i rapid fire bunch of modem waiter* are out in front at all times. — The Omaha Club continues in giv ing real modern service and are tak ing good care of the members and their friends in grand style. PLASH! Do you know The Omaha GUIDE is the only paper that the drugstores cannot supply enough of because they are all sold so quickly as a]l of the good news can be had by taking one year’s subscription. The highland Club was in full bloom with the grand opening on Satur day evening, May 30 and as usual it was a riot of pleasure for the fine members and friends. The Fontenelle hotel wait el's are on the hit and run as the running races always attract many high class sports and the waiters all give quick modern service—all the time. The NAACP is very much in nee-l of members and we all may help them in their efforts in helping our race. Now take out a membership now and be a good, firm spoke in the wheel. 1 The Paxton Hotel with the race horse headwaiter and the rapid fire party man and the quick stepping room service waiters are on the job at all times. The railroad boys are all doing a very good job. and how.' At all tim es and because of the hot weather' doesn’t keep them away from North ' 24th St., as it is the Harlem of O maha and West Lake Street should be called Lenox Avenue The Credit Union of the 4 C cluo is on the upgrade and would like for everyone to take some shares, as we are very much in need of a business concern of that kind in O maha, and we all should put our shoulders to the wheel and be a booster. What say you? The Sixth annual commencement exercises at Boystown audtitorium. Sunday ,May 31st at 2 p. m. was a complete success. This writer was invited to attend by Mr. Chester Hodges whose son Mr. Chauncey Hodges, was a mem ber of the graduation class. The boystown band and the choir rendered some very beautiful select ions. The address to the graduates by attorney Henry Monskv, was very interesting and the valedictory address by Mr. Peter Downie was at its best and the presentation of the diplomas by lit. Rev. Msgr. K. J. Flanagan was very impressive, and it was a very friendly fellow ship greeting. A MESSAGE TO -GALLOWAY (continued from page 2) —CCM— Rev. Elijah Green ,2622 Decatur Street .one of your subscribers, was stricken to his bed and at this writ ing is still confined there. I’m sure hs friends will call upon him. —CCM— I passed by a house and it had sgns all over it: Reading: ’‘Christian in a day like this.” "Kitchen. Band, Concert, and Lost Souls.’’ What s t all about, C. C? —CCM— If I knew what to do with flow ers, C. C. I can get all I want any time. Every time I pass by Edw ard Grocmes' at 2906 Decatur Street, he always asks me to take some of his flowers with me. But what would I do with flowers? I don’t know of any girl to give them to? I don’t attend funerals. I never attended one in my life and expect to attend only one—that’s my own—I presume I will be there when it occurs, if the devil hasn’t snatched me away. Tou know, C. C. that Mr. Groomes raises flowers to sell to the "white folks” in Dun dee wherever that is. —CCM— I must be bad luck to Mrs. Bailey Sjms. 2827 Seward Street. Remem ber. I chronicled in these meSsag'-s. some wreeks ago, that I caught her working in her rock garden” Well, it seems that just as soon as I left she met with an accident. Site punctured one of her ear-drums (wonder if she was trying to listen to what I thought of her) and ever since she has been under the earn of highly-paid specialists. —CCM.— One of your good subscribers. Jess Roberts, formerly of 1105 North 19th Street, has gone to Portland, Ore gon, to work in the shipyards. Mrs. Roberts, now of 2562 Cuming Street, rear, is still reading the GUIDE however, thanks to yours truly. —CCM— Rev. B. E. Jones. Rev. John ,\d adms, Sr., Rev. B. Brooks, and ’ue Rev. E. F. Ridley, visited the Wes tern University, the Bishop Will iams School of Religion. Kansas City, Kansas, during the week. ( —CCM— r I called on one of your subscrib ers. C. C. A Mr. Harry I<ewis. 2211 Miami Street, and learned that Unde Sam grabbed him off on May 23rd and while our Unde is the richer we are the poorer for Harr?- was one of those rare subscribers who paid by the year in advance. —CCM— Idon’t know whether it was Jam es Glenn, Mgr. or Wm. H. Davis, | Prop, but one day while passing The Green Lantern, 2U6 North 24th. Street, I smelled something mighty good to eat and of the two things 1 love best in the world eating is one, I stopped in and had a dinner. One of these gentlemen waited on me to eat and then escorted me to the rear of the establishment and imagine my surprise, there was a regular beach entertainment resort. I learned that they serve barbequos. and soft drinks there every night, with music and a space for dancing provided. I must come back again when the entertainment is on. —CCM— Where is Grand Island, Nebraska, C. C? One of your subscribers, Mrs. Mary Wyatt, was aelling me that she recently spent a few days thei c, with her sons. Floyd and Leroy Wyatt, decorating the grave of one Jack Bowen who was killed in an automobile accident here in Omaha some time last year. Do you know al] about it? —CCM— Some weeks ago, C. C. some fun eral report was garbled in the GUIDE. I don’t remember it now but I have been reminded that the-'e were several errors in the original report. For instance, the pastor was S. J. Watson. The church was at 9C8 North 27th Avenue.. And. ap parently. we had the husband, of a Mrs. Griffin, an Elder. He was no Elder. C. C. He was a sinner. Im agine that. How did we make such a mistake? Perhaps, we were too complimentary. We must be more careful in the future, mustn’t we? —CCM— That special delivery letter that came for me from the South, C. C. was from one of the Scott Brothers, the owners of the only daily Negro paper in the United States, and a string of about fifty weekly, and semi-weekly papers. He wants me to come South and handle their ad vertising for them. You know 1 | told you before I left Michigan that I I had several offers from other plac es and this is but one of them. Nat urally. you know my answer. —COM— And that special delivery letter from Miami. Florida, well that was a very personal message, and a heart-breaking one. although I am used to heart-breaking messages. I’ve been receiving them all my life. I’ll tell you the story. When I was in the British West Indies I met a little girl—I called her "The Sweetheart of the Trop ics" and as such she rates a whole chapter in one of my books on for eign travels—"Grant’sTown. N. P.” Well, C. C. if you have travelled around you know the set-up. She was tied to a West Indian, who had plenty of influence, money, etc., but there was no love between them. I was float-loose, travelling around, trying to forget an old love-affair (that's all I’ve been doing all my life) and I met her. Like two ships passing in the night we drifted to gether. Life was pleasant and sweet but all too short. A separat ion occurred but in separating the sweetheart of the tropics said, "I’ll be waiting for you forever." (How many times have I heard that?) Anyway I read of the death of the mother of my tropic friend in the Miami Times, that Mr. Gilbert of the STAR, saves for me each week, and I wrote to the tropic friend. A special air-mail was received in re turn and here is part of what it said: ‘‘Dear Clifford: What a pleasant surprise it was to me to receive your letter yester day. Really. I had given you up for good. Well, dear, I’ll tell you all about myself. I left the West In des, four years ago- Traveled throughout the Unted States, and returned to Miami when my mother died. Last year I got married to a nice fellow in St. Louis. Missouri.” Need I quote further? That's me. ai) over, one broken romance after another. No wonder I like that song. "I guess I'll Be on My Way.” —CCM— Here's a program in front of me. I don’t know how it got here and I don’t know of what interest it would be to me. but it details the Sixth TEL. WE. 2022 Ol R PRICES are based on the cost of serv ice pins the cost of merchandise and a reasonable profit. Thomas FUNERAL HOME 2022 LAKE ST. Omaha, Nebr. Annual Comrrtencemettt Exercises of Boys Town Auditorium. May he if someone knew who the colored graduates were frm the whites it might be of interest to GUIDE read ers but I don't, so why discuss it further? —CCM— Someone sold me a ticket (and someone is always selling me tick ets or exacting pledges for some function or other) that reads as fol lows: Rainbow Tea For Rainbow Treasure Chest Contestants of Cleaves Temple, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Avery Washington, 1714 North Twenty-Eight. Sunday, June 14, 1942. Hours: 3 to 7 p. m. Rev. L. A. Story, Pastor. Well, that’s that. I have the tick et, but what would I be doing at a Tea? Now. if that was a Cocktail party, I might shine, or would I ? —CCM— Are you lucky? If so, call around and see Mrs. Matilda Barris. 230s North 26th Street. She lost five dollars somewhere in her house and ■he is willing to divide it if any body can find t. She has already torn the house upsde down trying to find it. Maybe you are lucky, however. Try it. —CCM— Mrs. Idell Frazier, 2514 North 27th Street, is happy because her nephew Weldon Dyson. 14. is graduating from the Howard Kennedy School. He is captain of the Safety Patrol: is a member of the Fire Patrol: anu is Building Monitor, as well as act ing as first aide attendant.
