(One of the Essentials of a Democracy) On election day, from farm and hamlet, town and city, comes the voice of Amer ica ... a free America. On this day “every man is a king,” because he is exer cising the most noble heritage on earth... the right to govern himself through his own chosen representatives. The ballot is symbolic of America’s re gard for the dignity and nobility of man. It is an outward sign of many rights which we enjoy. The right, for instance, to labor and acquire a home or a busi ness, the right to build with honest sweat, toil and individual enterprise a fortress of security for our loved ones. This free America was built by the struggles of men who believed in indi vidual freedom. This America of free men will NOT PASS AWAY! NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY left my hat inside, I never would have returned within. —CCM— Once inside, however I discovered that perhaps i had been invited out of the church as a matter of exped iency for where I was sitting I then discovered tfla.' the whole congrega tion was down on pillows prt~'*:gr. hen. it dawned upon me what it. ap parently ,wes all about. —CCM— Well, by the time they were through praying I had had a good sleep and my momentary embarr assment had been forgotten. Then, they started singing and really it sounded good. Testimonials were in order and when it got around to Mrs. Duff she not only testified but she offered up prayers for me, and asked all the congregation to pray for me. (Surely, I need them). And then they broke into a song, some thing Within Me,” and really that song got me. It not only touched me but I was ready, then and there men of a sinner, but the spell broke, to offer up a perfectly good specl for the song ended, and they start ed taking up collection. Well, when they got through taking up collec tion the spell was really broken. —CCM— I then sat and listened to the speaker. He talked and he talked. He, himself, apparently, got tired of talking that he would go first to one side of the rostrum and sit down (still talking) and then he ■yould go somewhere else and sit down (still talking) and this he kept up until the middle of the afternoon when I just had to leave. —CCM— And writing of church, C. C. re minds me that I’ve still other prom ises to fulfill. I promised the Scott’s—the Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Scott, of 2872 Binney Street, that I would go to six o’clock mass with them some morning. Imagine that! I was frank to tell them that I was in a Catholic church but once in my life and that was when, one night, in Montevedio, Urugay, I had been out all night with a prominent club man and when it came early morn ing he insisted on going to Confes son—I believe he called it. I looked at him and wondered if he really meant he was going to confess ev erything we had been doing all night, but he was sincere. I went with him. We entered the cathe dral at early morn. I didn’t know what to do but I thought by doing everything he did I would be Olt so I aped him. Well .inside of half an hour, after bobbing up and down so much I nearly fell out from diz ziness and then my friend went into the private quarters of the Priest— I guess he was a Priest—he had a robe on and two boys carrying his trail. Eventually the Confession was over. My friend must have felt better for we continued our Tops War Bond Goal) BUYS $1,000 BOND: Oversubscribing their pledge to the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, which has promised to buy $5,000 worth of War Savings Bonds, officers of the Southern Regional Conference have already purchased a $1,000 Bond. Officers of the Southern Regional Conference are shown in the accom panying photograph with A. C. Price, cashier of the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company, Nashville, Tenn., where the purchase was made. They are, left to right, Miss Helen E. Work, chairman, Judiciary Board of the Grand Chapter and president of the Nashville chapter; Price, Mrs. Grafta M. Looby, secretary, Southern Regional Conference and vice-president of the Nashville chapter, and Miss Minerva IL John son, director of the Southern Regional Conference* - - , spree with even more gusto than ever. —CCM— And still that’s not all, C. C. A young matron, only today, said to me; “Mr. Mitchell, I read where every body wants to sell you something all the time. Well, I don’t want to sell you a thing. I want to give you something. Here, take this little booklet. It is free. I want you to read it through. Of course, when you get through reading it if you feel like making a contribution, it will be appreciated.” How about that line, C. C? That's a new one, eh? At least the booklet introduces me to the Seventh Day Adventist act ivities. I think I would kind of like that for then I wouldn’t have to work on Saturday. —CCM— Here’s the latest wrinkle, though, C. C. And, as usual, I’ve fallen a gain. I’ve promised to buy a candle for fifteen cents. Oh, this is not an ordinary candle, C. C. This candle is blessed. Blessed three times, at a nickel a throw, making fifteen cents in all. I hope I don’t burn my fingers holding the candle —after I buy it. —CCM— I did attend that midnight show at the Ritz Saturday night, C. C. as who didn’t? Very seldom do I go to a show for next to sitting in a church for two or three hours, sit ting in a theatre that long, without an agreeable companion, is almost as boresome- But I did at the mid night show for three hours and I wasn’t bored either. —CCM— In the first place I enjoyed the Jungle picture and particularly the picture of part of the West Indies. Who wouldn’t? Especially one who had spent several years there. —CCM— The stage show, for what appear ed to be an impromptu affair, was interesting to me, simply because the characters were new to me “Red Apple”, Franklin Herman, served as master of ceremonies and straight man, very much aided and abetted by “Struttie” (I believe that’s what they called him.) Some one told me he was once with Ida Cox. Miss, or Mrs. (what difference does it make where theatrical peo ple are concerned) Henrienne Bar ker, sang a novelty number. She, gave some advice to the women (ns though they need it) which suggest ed that if the women couldn’t get five, t0 take two. What she was talking about I leave to you. Per haps the lesson sank in though? But who am I to know? —CCM— If the “mike” had been working I imagine that little Rozella Hail would have gone over big, but with out the “mike” she had only her pretty face, and what have you, to supplement her sotto voice. But We Offer for Your Approval A Complete Curtain Service and Another thing,— Have Your Dry Cleaning Done Now! —Cash and Carry Discounts— EDHOLM &SHERMAN 2401 North 24th Street — she was appreciated. And then there was “Twinkle ties.” I know that everyone knows that he is Harold Smith. I under stand he used to be on “big time” and right now he is working at the “Barrel House”—the place where. Rozella Hall wows them every night. But for character—hand it to George Vann. With that entrance of his I don’t see why he isn’t knock ing them over at the Blackhawk in Chicago—the Congo in Detroit — the Morocco in New York, or any (if the other really big time places. Maybe he has for all I know. I saw him but the once but he was aeos Saturday night, anyhow. Some one told me that Martha (whoever she is) and her Rhythm Boys furnished the music. I heard them even if I didn’t see them. —CCM— I Tell me about the Woodson Cen ter, C. C. While on R Street one day I saw a bunch of kids playing in a yard. I stopped to see what it was all about. A yard full 0f swings playgrounds, etc. I met a Mrs. Taylor, executive secretary, I be lieve, and a Mrs. Wilson, the exe cutive head of the Woodson Center. She explained something about the Center being financed through the Community Chest and offered oodles 7 of reason for the need of such ? Center. Finally she invited me to hop in her car while she took me out to the two garden projects that the Center was instrumental in or ganizing. Naturally, I was not dif fident about riding with a good |lcokng lady but also, (although she didn’t know it) my feet were tired, and actually sore from doing so much walking, and I welcomed a r de. When she get the first ga d^Tl project 1 asked i er to please i.-ct trot me all over the garden but just to tell me wliat it was all about— her word was good enough for me— (and my feet were too tired to tramp all over those acres.) The same procedure existed at the second gar den project. Result I saw the gar dens, and I have Mrs. Wilson’s word that there are acres and acres of desirable foodstuffs planted there. More, Is aw some of the gardeners with baskets of stuff taken from * ne gardens. At any rate there was plenty of evidence that organization hard labor and tender care, had been expended in abundance there. —CCM— Mrs. Wilson then took me over I and introduced me to Mrs. Virginia Franklin, who has opened up the newest cafe in that part of town, at 5224 South 30th Street. Naturally, I had something to eat there. Boil ed dinners seem to be her specialty. —CCM— And thinking of gardens I am al so thinking of Mrs. Lula Johnson, 2914 North 25th Street. Do you know her, C. C? She was telling me of her large garden that she has been operating for twelve years — long before the present day Victory gardens came into prominence. 'Sue is quite a business-woman, you know, C. C. She was telling me all about her operations, and what she is contemplating in the near future. —CCM— Mrs. Ida Willis, 2025 Ohio Street, called my attention to the fact that 1\vo of the honor students recen ly I graduated in the grade schools were nieces of hers. The Misses Odeseie (12 years) and Udoxie (14 years) Goodwin, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Hubbard, 2802 North 28r,h Street. Odessie had three and a !

We Use the BEST Material. -\ half A’s while Udoxie had four and a half A’s. I guess you know, how proud those children, and their par ents are? Miss Udoxie plays for B. Y. P. U. at the Salem Baptist Church. —CCM— Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jenkins of San Fran cisco. California and Portland, Ore gon, who were spending a few days in the city visiting Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, 2010 North 25th Street, and who are enroute to Detroit, Michigan. —CCM'— Everyone seems to have taken up patriotic motiff. Now it is the ,T. M. F.’s (form your own interpret ation for the initials) Bridge Club. They are now giving Defense Stamps as prizes. ’Tis said that this is the oldest bridge club of “couples” in Omaha. (Yet, I have had an indirect invitation to it and goodness knows I am not coupled, nor likely to be.) Mr. B. B. Cowan, is the president, and the adorable Mrs. S. C. Hanger, is the secretary. —CCM— Do you know Foch Pershing Al len, C. C? He lives at 2705 Hamil ton Street. I understand that for the last several months he has been working for the Nebraska Defen.'le Corporation, at Meade, Nebraska. He is a Steward in charge, or some thing of that nature. He was just telling me that through the instru mental services of. one, Dela Vann, prominent in the Defense Work, at Washington, that he has been sel ected to become a member of tile new Defense Organization, with air bases, at Alliance, Nebraska, to commence work within the very near future, or just as soon as Mr. Allen can be released from his pres ent duties with the Nebraska De fense Corporation. Had you beat ! anything about this. C. C? Is ihit quite a boost or not? I understand also, that Mr. Allen was formerly the president of the Omaha Junior Chamber of Commerce. Did you know that, C. C, What the Junior Chamber of Commerce anyhow, and what do they do, C. C? —CCM— I met J. Voner of 2537 Binney St, the other day, C. C. He’s an inter esting character. He tells me that for the last twelve years he has made his own job. He’s a specialty salesman, you know. He sells all kinds of cosmetics and cleansers. And, really, C. C. a specialty sales man is independent. He’s his ovm boss. His hours are ,his own, and his earnings are unlimited—all de pending upon his ability to sell. Whv don’t more colored people get into the specialty sales end? —CCM— I didn’t know until today, C. C. that Mrs. Saddie McClain, 2619 Caldwell Street, was in the hospital. I understand she is resting well af ter an operation. —CCM— Another one on the sick list is, cr was, Mrs. Emma Pruitt, 5316 Sourn, 29th Street. The day I called on her she had been in bed all day, a waiting someone to call at the house so she could have them call the doctor and near relatives. I per formed the chores. I hope Mr3. Pruitt is •well by now. —CCM— Herbert Daily, 3113 R Street, was telling me of the drowning of Tom my West, 28 years old, which, un doubtedly, you will have read “He where. It appears that he and a number of others went boating Sat urday night, whent he fatality re curred. I needn’t tell you the de tails. They are elsewhere. Of course, you know, that he leaves hiswi fe, Teressa West, and a moth er and father Mr. and Mrs. Robert West. Also, a brother in the Unit ed States Army, on whom the fun eral arrangements were awaiting, as this is written. —CCM— Some time ago I wrote about four generations of Turners.

You can get Kruschen, a famous English formula made in the U. 8. A., at any drug store. You must be satisfied or money back. other subscriber reminds me that in her family there are also four gen erations—all living on the one street —R Street. She is Mrs. Jeanette Thompson. 3120 R Street. With her lives her mother, Mrs. M.E. Foster, while a short distance away lives her dau ghter, Mrs. Susie Dodd, and the tv.o children, Gloria, five, and Janice, two. For seventeen years Mrs. Thomp son has been an inspector at Cudahy & Company. —CCM— And both Mrs. Thompson and Mr Wilson, of Woodson Center, were telling me that everybody in South Omaha who wanted to work, had work. And since school recessed even the school children are rapidly finding employment. Does tha: sound reasonable, C. C? —COM— Mrs. Lucille Watkins, 2620 Cald well Street, was telling me that she and her father, Sherman Berry, 1 believe, just edturned from St. Paul, Minnesota, where she went to bury her mother, Mrs. T. Short, of 507 Rondo Street. —CCM— Mrs. Laura Eddens has moved her beauty shop, as well as the Keystone Barber Shop, from 1701 North 24th Street, to 1518 North 24th Street, in a much larger and better equipped Shop. —CCM— Oh, yes, some one just asked me if I finajly attended that “Tea” for which I had two tickets. The ans wer is no. The reason—well that will have to be explained. Sunday afternoon, I got to think ing that inasmuch as I did have two tickets that perhaps I could go and get twice as much to eat. You know I love to eat. But then 1 didn’t know what to do at a Tea and so I consulted Emily Post’s Book on Etiquette and I found that at a Tea one must slowly sip tea; and lightly partake of dainty edibles; and converse. And then Emily Post also mentioned the correct attire for men to wear while attending teas. Thatlet me out for even if I had the correct attire I certainly could not have enjoyed eating in them—even to sipping tea and daint ily munching wafers. And so I decided to go to Aunt Mary’s soup kitchen where I could gurgle my tea if I wanted to, and where I could ravenously devour hog jowls, or chitterlings, and if I wanted to I could groan or grunt in stead of conversing, and what’s more I could even go in ipy over alls. —CCM— Do you know a Corpora] A. Pat terson, C. C? He is stationed in the Fort at Fort Warren, Wyoming. He writes to me as follows: "I, Corporal A. Paterson, was in Omaha visiting my family from May 1st to 10th. Your mail service to me is lovely. And, note, that I am filing for a divorce from my wife, Vivian, of 2825 R Street on July 1st.” I wonder if that’s news to Vivian, whoever she is? —CCM.— Another letter reads: ”302 6orth 54th Street, Omaha, Nebraska, 6—10—42, Mr. Clifford C. Mitchell. Dear S.»: We would be glad to have you meet with our Townsend Club No. 11 on Monday night, June the 15th, at the Urban League Center, 2213 Lake Street. L. W. McDonald, Pres. J. W. Dollar, 1st Vice Pres. Morley Westbrook, 2nd Vice Pres. Mrs. B. B. Hawkins, Treas. Mrs. Edith Harrison, Sect.” Well, the only apology that I need to offer for not attending is that in Monday nights I always have a late with this typewriter and with this message. —CCM— Still another letter: It’s from Aug ustus K. Hines, 2523 Q Street. His letterhead tells me that he is a per sonal Counselor on Love, Sex, Soc ial and Vocation. He also tells me that he is the author of th# articles, “Gleanings by Hines” in the STAH. And he encloses a list of twelve problems that he can, presumably, attempt to overcome for misfits in life. His problem number five, reading: “Make it possible for you to understand people, and to control them more successfully.” Seems to be one in which I could stand some teaching, for I certainly would like to understand some people much better, not to mention anything a bout the control part. —CCM— One of your subscribers. C. C. was telling me of the passing of Mrs. Pearl Peoples Maloy, 2413 Caldwell Street, I believe, last Sunday morn ing. Mrs. Maloy had lived in Om aha since 1930 or thereabouts. As this is written the funeral ar rangements have not been as they are waiting to hear from relatives, two daughters, and a mother, in Birmingham, Alabama. In Omaha Mrs. Maloy leaves to mourn her passing a husband and a host of near-relatives and friends. — CCM— Well, C. C. I’ll be signing off? You’ll hear from me next week. ^^_FOB GOODNESS SAKE HEALTHY SIZE — ■MlMaMMliMMllMliM RABE’S BUFFET for Popular Brands 1 of BEER and LIQUORS = 2229 Lake Street 3 —Always a place to park— OMAHA OUTFITTING Furnish Your Entire House hold at the ‘Omaha Outfitting They carry Furniture, Washing Machines, Radios, Travelling Bags, Jewelry and All Kinds of Coal. 2122 North 24th St. Phone AT. 5652 ■■P'P'P'P'P'P'P'P'pipip 'PiPM JACKSON 0288 FIDELITY STORAGE & VAN CO.
