A MESSAGE TO
-GALLOWAY
(continued from page 2)
Mrs. Lawrence Smith. Jr., 271")
North 28th Avenue, is giving a
Shower for her friend, Miss Lillian,
Brown, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Brown, 2722 North 28th Avenue,
whose formal engagement to Ralph
Orduna, of Maple Street, has just
been announced. Mr. Orduna is a
Defense Worker. The happy event
is to come off in July, some time.
—CCM—
1 was over in a new community
the Other day, C. C. That is, new
to me, but, apparently, a very old
section of the city. It’s over near
the Railroad Yards. I believe. At
least all the colored businesses I
found there catered to the Railroad
Workers and Sleeping Car Porters.
And strangely, enough the only busi
nesses I found are conducted by
women. There was Mrs. N. P. Pat
ton who for thirty-five years has
conducted the Patton Hotel at 1014
South 11th Street.
Mrs. Chiles who runs a rooming
house a 1105 South 13th Street.
Mrs. Katherine Moore, 1203 Pac
ific Street, who, for the past four
years has been catering to the rail
way workers, feeding them delic
ious home-cooked meals.
And there was Bertha (I think her
full name is Mrs. Bertha Gardner)
who runs "Bertha's—Bar-B-Que” at
the corner of 11th and Pacific. She
also specializes in fried chicken
dinners. (Naturally, I ate while I
was there ) She has only been in
business since last fall, I believe.
—CCM—
But writing of railway men and
railway workers reminds me, C. C.
that, even though you have lived in
Omaha over forty-two years, that
you are not up-to-date, geographic
ally speaking. Remember, I asked
you about a certain subscriber that
lived at an address X had never been
to, or heard of—1006 Grace Street.
You told me that the party was the
caretaker in a large apartment
house there. Well I went to find
the address, and the subscriber. I
went as far as the street car would
take me- Then I had to walk about

eight blocks, incidentally, crossing
every railroad track in Omaha, 1
guess. If I had kept on walking I
guess I would have walked into the
river or whatever is down there
I was looking for an apartment
house. When I could find no sign
of one I asked an old gent, I met.
who looked like Noah in The Greer
Pastures, where 1005 Grace Street
was? He replied “This is 1005. Kv
erything here (stretching his arms
out wide) is 1005. One mail box for
everybody.”
When I asked him where the a
partment house was,' he replied: “A
partment house! Lawdy Chile,
don’t you know whereabouts you're
at? You’re in the Bottoms.” Ap
parently, he thought I should know
all about it when he said the "Bot
toms” but I insisted on trying to
find my party. He didn’t think it
would do me any good for he said
nobody had any money down there
to buy papers with. ■ However, a
little boy spoke up, (perhaps, sens
ing a tip in the offing,) and said:
“Mister, I’ll find the party for you
for a nickel.” The deal was made
and we started off in search of the
party. If I didn’t know what the
“Bottoms” was before I certainly
did when that little boy got through
leading me around, but still we did
not find our party. I felt the boy
earned his commission anyway. He
tried hard enough, so I called it a
day. Perhaps it could be entitled,
‘‘A Day in the Bottoms.”
—CCM—
And, C. C. that other tip you gave
me turned out quite peculiar too,
but not as unprofitable as the trip
to the “Bootoms.”
Remember, you told me to go
down to 11th and Dodge- And if I
would see the Boss there that per
haps I could sell him a year’s sub
scription.
Of course, 11th and Dodge didn't
mean a thing to me, I noticed, how
ever, that everyone I would ask for
instruction as to how to get to 11th
and Dodge would look at me kind of
peculiar but I didn’t think anything
of it because people look at me kind
of peculiar anyway, or else they
think I’m kind of peculiar—one way
or the other.
Anyway, I finally got to 11th and
DOdge. I asked to see the “Boss.”
I was taken up in the elevator to
the second floor and there some
more uniformed attendants escorted
me into a reception room and from
where a little receptionist took me
into the private office of the “Boss.”
I sang my song and made my sale
and just as I was about to pocket
my check 1 discovered that the
“Boss” was Omaha's Chief of Po
lice—John J. Pszanowski.
No wonder people looked at me
so funny when I asked how to get
to 11th and Dodge. That’s the Po
lice Station. Well, anyway, I got
in and got out, and brought back
more than I took it. That’s some-,
thing!

You know that song they’re sing

TOUGHENING IP EXERCISES — swimming across Osborne Pond,
—Two members of the 385th Engin- Camp Edwards, Mass., pushing a
eer Battalion are shown above head of them their personal equip
ment tied up in a shelter half.
Outskirts of Town or so it seemed
to me for by the time I eventually
located the house it seemed as
though I had walked about two mil
es to get to a distance that is onlv
four or five blocks as the crow flies,
but you know these Omaha Streets,
C. C? They are like “The Mystery
House-’’ that you see at State Fairs,
etc. You get in all right but you
walk your legs off trying to find a
way out. That was the way it was
with this address I was trying to
find. I would get in the right street
and then run right into a dead end.
Then, it’s a toss-up whether to turn
to the right or left. (Generally I
turn wrong.) Then after making a
turn you walk until you run into
another dead end and you repeat
the process over and over. Event
ually, I picked up the right street a
gain and then started looking for
my number. I walked until the
pavement gave out. And then the
sidew'alks gave out. I took the dirt
road and walked until it led into a
trail and finally, at the very last
house on the street, just over the
hill, with a perfect view of the
countryside, with nothing to dis
turb you except the mosquittoes, the
crickets, and the bull frogs, and a
mooing cow away off in the pasture;
the roosters crowing and the hens
cackling, sat this little love nest.
Right then and there I decided that
the man who wrote that song about
te Outskirts of Town was the very
man that brought his little wife out
to that cozy little home where they
can live so quietly, comfortably, and
like the words in the song—“with no
one hanging around.”
—COM—
Another one of your subscribers,
C. C. gave me a good answer when
I called around to collect. She has
been on your list for years but, ap
parently, no one ever went to col
lect. She replied:
“Why do you bother me about
money? I’ve been reading the
GUIDE for years. Mr. Galloway
knows me well. He NEVER both
ers me about money, so why should
you?"
Now, I call that a humdinger of
an answer, C. C.

A lot of your subscribers are tak
ing little jaunts, here and there,
during these hot days. For instance
Mrs. S. J. Day, 2415 S Street, is
now in Coffeyville, Kansas, where
she will spend a few weeks visiting
relatives and friends.
Daniel Watts Hodge, and family,
5108 South 25th Avenue, dre in
Minnesota, the State of ten thous
and lakes, and are those lakes de
lightful this time of year? (I know
for I was born and raised there.)
And, incidentally I just read on the
front page of a Minnesota paper a
bout a little five year old girl being
bitten by an escaped monkey in one
of the Minnesota parks. That art
icle was significant to me because
the little girl happens to be my own
granddaughter.
