Sunday afternoon as 27 mem bers of the Alpha Omega Club be gan their mad scramble to occu py four fine automobiles. We were off to spend an enjoyable evening at Mandin Park, with Harold Mat thews taking the lead in the con voy in his Green Hornet, Miss Florentine Goodlett following in her Blue Bird, M. L. Reed follows in his Black Beauty and bringing up the rear was Udoxie and Odes sie Goodwin in their Blue Heaven. The convoy was very colorful with the cars filled with fine chics and handsome boys. At last we arrived at Mandin Park where we found a grill to roast weiners on and water to make punch. The fire was made by Edsell Hudson and Frank Wil kerson which was little more than a spark Then there was a mad scramble and the whole gang were trying to roast their weiners at once as the boys tried in vain to convince the girls that boys should be first. Florentine Good lett and Marjorie Marshall made some very delicious punch. It was so good and sweet I know they must have put their fingers in it. We were then entertained with beautiful songs sung by Leonard King, Edsell Hudson and George Moore. The songs rendered were “Route 66”, “Prisoner of Love”, and “I Love My Baby”. Then George Moore takes the Club for a loop by singing “Some How”. After which we played games such as give on, leap frog, hide and-seek, punchinella, etc. When from out of no where comes Miss Jean Rudd with songs for all to sing, such as “Hey Ba Ba Rebop” “Engine in the Ford", “I've been Working on the Railroad”, etc. The program was prepared by Miss Charlotte Green, Mr. Leon ard King and Miss Tessie Ed wards. Next week we hope to go on a swimming party. YNews HEAR HORTHSWE BRAHCH BASEBALL TEAMS USE “Y” AS HEADQUARTERS The two famous baseball teams the Kansas City Monarchs and the Indianapolis Clowns made the YM CA their headquarters while in the city Tuesday for their game in i Council Bluffs. This gave opport unity for the T secretary John j R. Butler to renew acquaintances! with several members of both the ! teams whom he had previously been assaciated. Reese “Goose'’ j Tatum famous first baseman of the Indianapolis Clowns, was guest basketball official for the USO at the time of the first All Service man Basketball tourney in 1944, while he was stationed at the Lin coln Air Field. “Dizzy” Dismukes business manager for the Clowns worked with Butler in Columbus Ohio in the development of the professional baseball teams there which later turned out to be the Indianapolis ABC Team. R. Dun can, manager of the Kansas City Monarchs, was a member of the Special Service Office at Camp Ro-1 binson Arkansas and worked with Butler on USO programs in Little Rock, Arkansas. The members of the teams were elated over the re ception of the Orr.ahans and com mended on the progress of the YM | CA which has been made possible | through the cooperation of the ci tizens. Northside Drama — By Al Spirits — STANLEY R. OSBORN The Stanley R. Osborn Fund is one of the most constructive com pliments ever paid to the Negroes of Nebraska and elsewhere. While the actual benefits will be shared only by a few; it embodies a mes sage of hope for 15,000,000 Ameri cans. The message of hope is de rived from the increased realiza tion that many fair-minded mem bers of other groups are not only aware of the artificial and unpro gressive barriers set up, but are concerned to the extent of trying in an effective way, to remove such artificial barriers. Action speaks a thousand times louder than words. Such evidence of friendship as the Osborn Fund should encourage Negro Youth to redouble their efforts towards a recognizable part of our creative, mechanical and cultural civiliza tion. Without training there is little success, but it takes more than training to succeed. Initiative plus training equal the Irrepressible Combination. MISSISSIPPI’S GRAND OPPORTUNITY ; George R.
