-CAMP PENDLETON NEWS BUREAU PHOTO. MAMMY’S DAY.—Back last February a unit from Camp Pendleton established an outpost at Virginia Beach complete with different types of guns to repel an enemy invasion. Mrs. Sarah Gruddup, 73-year-old Negro cook, passed the men’s tents one blustering evening, felt sorry for their lonely plight, and decided to make life easier for them. Every single night since that cold February night she has bought from her $12 a week all sorts of food, cooked it and brought it out to the men at 8 p.m. on the dot. Her superb Southern cooking, together with her glorious sense of humor, helped to brighten up otherwise monotonous evenings of watchfulness for the men. Then came May and Mother’s Day. Aunt Sarah—as the men called Mrs. Gruddup—was picked up in a Bantam bug, brought into camp and honored in true soldier fashion. They showered her with presents (her favorite was a garrison belt!), made her guest of honor at a big chicken dinner, brought out their guitarist and singers to entertain her, and wound up the day by taking her on a sight-seeing trip of the Camp in a bug. That evening—and every evening since—Aunt Sarah has brought her basket of delicacies to the men in style. A battalion official order has assigned a truck in which to bring her food to tbs soldiers. Virginia Beach is still talking about Mammy’s Day. ANNP. PLEDGE THEIR NEWS PAPERS TO FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY FOR WORLD (continued from page 1) inatjon of that copy deemed undesir able.

"One battle that all editors who believe in democracy must fight is the battle for respect for civil lib erty,” the speaker added. “Selfish men would take advantage of this crisis to restrict civil liberties, not to make our war effort stronger, b it to serve their selfish ends. But if this effort were not to be tempered with common sense, you might find yourselves fighting for the right of an enemy agent to spread Sedition, obviously an absurdity. “I hate the indignities which are put upon you and the injustices with which you have to contend,” Mr. Field declared. "But still it seems to me that in your press you could fight these things better, more effectively, by enlarging your fight; enlarging it to include not only the sufferings of your own people, b it to include as well the injustices done your fellow Americans whose skin is a different colo^ than your own. other Americans who also suf fer from man’s inhumanity to man.

Just before writing this however I did learn. It appears that the A merican Women’s Volunteer Service were holding a Tag Day Saturday to raise money to furnish canteen materials to each soldier. And that several colored women are active members of this service. It seems that Mrs. S. C. Hanger, 1915 North 28th Street, was the charmer who beguiled me, and, un doubtedly, many other gents, out of their spare change, while Miss Grace Bradford, of Maple Street, I believe was the foil attired in military cos tume, who, presumably would crack down in military fashion if the wil es and smiles failed.

C. You know it was one of those scorching hot days. I decided to go to church, as usual, but I didn’t want to wear a coat. Sometimes it’s hard enough to just sit two hours without hav ing t osit two hours uncomfortably. I went to the Zion Baptist Church, 2215 Grant Street, pastored by the Rev. F. C. Williams. Before entering the church I asked a deaconish-appearing gentleman )f the men were entering the church without coats. (If he had been a barker for a circus or some amuse ment resort he couldn’t have replied more appropriately, for the barker, you know, wants to get you inside, regardless of how he gets you there.) Well, anyway, this deacon ish-appearing gent said, "Yes, the men are attending without coats. You are perfectly welcome. Go right in.” I did, and lo and behold, outside of two soldier boys, I was the only one without a coat. Was my face red? Well, it might have been, hut at any rate I was the coolest per son in the audience. It so happen ed. I learned later, that the ventil ating system was out of order that day. I noticed that the ushers pass ed out fans to everyobdy—that is everybody except me. I guess they thought I didn’t need any—that I was cool enough. At any rate I sat there and listen ed to the services. Could X say that I enjoyed them—under the cir cumstances? They had a visting pastor, a Rev. J. B. Hubbard, of 841 Atlantic Street, Oakland, Calif ornia. I presume his sermon was directed to the converts who were sitting in the front row, and who had just been baptized that morning. And, no doubt, those in the front row heard everything distinctly. I regret that I didn’t. I believe I would have liked to have heard the Rev. Williams for his voice seemed to ring throughout the auditorium. And the Reverend or whoever he was, who rendered a prayer after the Rev. Hubbard fin ished, really aroused the audience Emotions were stirred and heard. And the speaker’s voice could be heard distinctly. That’s something, isn’t it. C.C? To have the speaker speak to those in the back of the auditorium as well as those in from? Especially where acusties are un available. After the collection and after the choir really went to town with that spiritual.The Battle of Jericho, I NORTH 24th st SHOE REPAIR 1807 N. 24th St. WE. 4240 —POPULAR PRICES— l OOK AT YOUR SHOES Other People Do.

I beleive the Zion Baptist Church is the most impressive I've yet seen in Omaha, and certainly the attendance was the largest, is there any larger? —CCM— Churches! Churches! Churches! I’ll really be in a jam, C. C. if I don’t go to that church on 26 th Street .between Grant and Erskine street, this coming Sunday. I gave my word faithfully to Mrs. V. Duff, 3810 Camden Avenue, that I would be there. You know Mrs. Duff phoned me to come out and see her. I did. And between her and her aunt, whose name I forget just now, they almost had me converted, baptized, and a leading pillar of their church. I heard more scripture in one hour than I had read in a year. How could I break away without promis ing definitely that I would be at their church Sunday? —CCM— And still more churches! The day on which this is written I was at the home of the Rev. and Mrs. h. A. Story, 1713 North 25th Street. He’s the pastor of Cleaves’ Temp’e you know! While there Mrs. Story was tell ing me something about some pag eant or other that is being held at the Temple on Thursday the 18th. Apparently that is the closing of the Cedar Chest Contest. It seems that at 8:30 (Yes, I said 8:30) in the evening they are holl ing the Rainbow Pageant. Called the Rainbow simply because of the eight different groups, each will be attired in distinctive variegated colored costumes, ranging from the little tots to the silver-haired ma mas. Each group, from what I ga thered will be represented on the program with some special feature. All in all it should be something en tertaining for the evenng. Un doubtedly, I’ll be there, for I pledg ed to a sizeable donation to one of the groups—the widows—and at least my curiosity will force me to see what it’s all about. Remember the time. 8:30. I’ll try and adjust my watch accordingly, after my ex perience at the last church function. —CCM— As I write this, C. C. (You know I write it every Monday night, late ) I am being entertained by some specal doings at Dreamland Ball Room, 24th and Grant. I believe it’s the Coronation Ball, or some thing like that. Sounds mighty good, too. —CCM— And speaking of the Dreamland and the Coronation Ball, here’s a FLASH! The popular Saybert C. Hanger. 1915 North 28th Street, wis crowned King, (He is youngest King as yet to be crowned) and the pop ular Maryln Bernice Fowler, of 3111 Corby Street, was crowned the Queen. Long May They Reign! —CCM— Here’s one of the surprises of the week, C. C. Sometimes it’s good to leave friends behind. Anyway some of my good friends in Michigan bad a very nifty name plate made for my desk and it arrived during the week. Yes, that’s it on the corner of my desk. Looks classy, eh? And many thanks to those Michigan friends .especially to Mr. George E. Scripter. —CCM— The attractive widow, Mrs. Wini fred White, of 1420 North 23rd Plaza has just completed a course of training in Defense work at the Victory Sewing School —CCM— Chatted, very pleasantly, with Mrs. Bertha Lawrence, 2638 Hamil ton Street, during the week old mu tual acquaintances in Wichita, Kan sas. That’s Mrs. Lawrence’s home, you know. And, of course, every where I’ve been I usually got ac quainted and it seems like I know somebody from everywhere. —CCM— FIRST DELIVERANCE CHURCH BENEFIT STORE 2020 NORTH 24TH ST, (Across the Street from Rita Theatre) NEW AND USED MERCHANDISE Clothes, Furniture and Furnishings "We Save You Money on Good Merchandise” WE BUY, SELL AND EXCHANGE — Mrs. Jackie Bryant.

Kruschen taken this way helps relieve such symptoms as Bick headaches, bowel sluggishness and so-called bilious indigestion when due to In sufflclent flow of bile from the gall-bladder. You can get Kruschen, a famous English formula made in the U. S. A. • at any drug store. You must be satisfied or money back. C. C. do you believe that a minis ter of the cloth would kid me? Dur ing the week I saw one of Omaha's most popular ministers just getting into his automobile wth a very nat tily-gowned female- I asked th" Reverend, who was limping, how he hurt his foot. (You know, C. C. I am always inquiring into other people’s business.) And this was his answer: “I’ve just got a little too much foot in a shoe not quite big enough.” Now, was I being kidded, C. C? If so, the kidding was done by the Rev. E. F. Ridley, of 2416 Binney Street ,and pastor of St. John's—the Friendly Church—22nd and Willis The lady, incidentally, presumably, was his wife. —CCM— Will it ever end? I’m writing now of these Omahans who have been on one job for a long time. You know ever since I, innocently, mentioned about Leroy Gude, 2715 Miami Street, being on one job for nine- | teen years, I am constantly being reminded about others who have been on one job longer. Sometimes the reminder is very subtle, and sometimes it is very obvious, but in either case, I note it. Here are the latest to join the longevity club: Archie L. Duff, 3810 Camden Ave nue, is now serving his twenty first year in the Railway Mail Ser vice. He is now running between Kansas City and Omaha. He has been married seventeen years: ha3 ' four children, and has nearly an en tire block of gardens at his near country home. Earl B. Gillet, 2822 South loth Street, worked for twent-two years at Ederer’s the Florists. No so long ago, however, he quit to go to work at the Omaha Steel Mills, where he is putting in many profitable hours in national defense work, and inci dentally, buying a bond a month to help Uncle Sam. And Thomas Scott, 2872 Binney Street, has been working for twen ty-three years at the Armour Pack ing House. Incidentally, Mr. Scott, just joined m yselect group of con scientious subscribers. He phoned me a half a day ahead of an appoint ment time to let me know that h couldn’t keep it and save me the trouble of making a trip for noth ing. You know, C. C. that really is something. Quite the opposite to what some of your subscribers do. —CCM— Here are a few of the antics null ed on me by some of your more in considerate subscribers, C. C. When I arrived at the door, a little child will come to the door, and be fore I can ask a single question, the child will blurt out: "Mama says she isn’t at home!” Now, C. C. what do you think of that one? Here’s a real good one. I called and called at one place- Naturally I didn’t know the party I was call ing on and each time I would call the lady would say the party I want ed to see wasn’t in. I tried on sev eral different hours but always the answer was the same. Thinking that something was amiss I got a young lady to call and asked for the party I wanted to see. Result, the party I wanted to catch was the same party who had been giving me the run-around. I needn’t tell you what I did? Yes, I cut her off the subscription list. Why, fool with people like that? And if one has told me, a hund red have told me, to be at their house at a specified time. I call. Sometimes the doors are wide open. Other times, everything is locked tight, but in either case no one ap pears. Now, I ask you C. C. why do people do that? But thank goodness for every one such a subscriber you have a dozen others, who are considerate and to fhem I take off my hat and say, ‘Ye are the salt of the earth!” —CCM— Here’s a little success story! It's about Rufus Tapp, 1720 Monroe Street. He is retired now and he and his wife, live in "Green Gables” the nicest home, and grounds, that I have yet had the pleasure of be ing shown through. Flowers are everywhere in the front yard and in the rear there really is two yards. One is a miniature fairyland with rock castles, windmills, forts, church es, etc., and a waterpool filled with goldfishes. The yard is electrically lighted, and comfortableswi ngs and seats are everywhere. Mr. Tapp has been married twen ty-two years. He owned the prop erty when he married and short.y thereafter he drew up his own plane for athoroughly modern home and had it erected, and actually helped build it, all the while working at or*e (Continued on page JSgr’Si 'K ^ 5^ FOB GOODNESS SAKE HEALTHY SIZE RABE’S BUFFET for Popular Brands of BEER and LIQUORS 2229 Lake Street —Always a place to park— BUT YOUR— POULTRY AT THE NEBRASKA PRODUCE 2204-6 NORTH 24th ST.
