But the sad part of it is Chat the planter of the acorns was not destined to reap the harvest of )ak Tr.es. Sonic two or three years ago, Frank Martin, well known and lik „d citizen of Xurthside Omaha, hit upon the idea of turning the skins f hogs into a tasty edible product in hopes of selling enough of them to replenish his none too lavish bankroll. So gathering J together a number of these skins lie pro eeded to cook them until all grease was removed and they wert crisp, porous and ready- to be eaten. This produ’et he called “Cracklings’’, the name by which they have been known for years, especially in the south and among colored people. Putting the cracklings in small paper bags, with a basket on lii.s arm. he went around from place to place, peddling them to the pub lie. He worked up quite a trade in fact the demand for them was l-- It -• ~v II FAYS TO LOOK wel l MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children's Wink A Specialty 2422 LAKE ST. » ~ so great that hp was unable to meet it because his method of pre ! paring them, though correct e nough, was far too slow. Of course he knew this but could do nothing about it because of his financial condition. So finally he gave it up and left the field wide open for whoever cared to carry on from where he left off- And omeone did. Today the manufacturing ot this product is giving employ.mn't id not less than a half dozep colored women herein the city. It is *he same tasty product, excellently and .cleanly prepared, but sold under a trade name. But they are still cracklings, and Prank Martin, as far as can be learned from past records, was the rst to introduce them to Omaha citizens, as a commercial prod ':t. NEWS —BY BLACK— A REMINDER OF THE N'AACP! An organization which has not even had a nap in thirty years. With its pars to the ground ever ready to detect an syuond or move which means robbing us of our constitutional rights or opportun ities. AVell to carry on this work means we must inject brains, ou' ture. talent, time and money, so we must draw from our liberal de mocratic, brave Americans from all groups that spirit of unselfish de votion which will mean just one i thing, an improvement all along J the line. So you’ll understand As a telephone nser we want you to know what is happening to the telephone business these days. In peace times, we were able to keep the supply of telephone equipment ahead of the demand for service. But for more than a year copper, rubber and other materials normally used in large quantities by the telephone in dustry have had to go into fighting equipment. Our reserves of used telephones and other equipment have been reconditioned and put back into service. This equipment is just as dependable and as serviceable as new equip ment. But wartime telephone needs are so great that these, with other measures, haven’t been enough and we are nearing the limit of present facilities. New telephone service for persons defined by Government Order as "essential” users will be provided without delay. However, it no longer is possible to provide as promptly as in the past service for other new customers or additional service for present customers. Facilities shortages in some cases may cause considerable delay in providing service. In most instances, transfer of service for present customers who move will be taken care of with reasonable promptness. We welcome applications for service and i will do our best to meet everyone's require- , ments as promptly as possible. Four understanding helps a lot and wo thank you for it. NORTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Let us say again; The smallest membership of $1.00 per year which is less than 1-3 of a cent a day; if in our own city we could muster a minimum of $1500.00 that would give Omaha’s branch $750.00 to work out our local problems,— the other $750.00 would go ~to the National Headquarters to strength en our hands and efforts there. We have a NAACP. office in " ashington. our representatives are on their toes, in and out of Congress, scanning every bit of legislation which affects the Free dom of the minority groups. We cannot expect our leaders t0 carry Qn for Nothing. But let us remind our dear rank and file ol one more thing, in all the small branches throughout the country, the workers receive no pay, but I bey pay for the privilege of work ing. Their pay comes in the sat isfaction of doing the job and get ting results. Ask yourself, Why don’t I make this pledge, as a mat te0r of pride and loyalty. Don't I want to be one member of one of of our havens of refuge in the storm? Our next meeting will he held in St. Johns AME. Church, 22nd and Willis Ave., January ,?#. 1944, at 3 pm. An interesting pro gram has been prepared and a cor dial invitation is extended to mem bers and friends to be present and be prepared to make some eontri bution to the meeting.
