HAWKINS TALKIN’ At the fights in downtown Omaha last Monday the fans witnessed one of the best cards seen around here in a| long time. Speedy Moore should be waking to the fact that he is spoting his men too much weight and reach. True, Speedy is in there trying at all times but the price to pay is too great. Speedy took such a pounding that it had to be stopped in the third round. In the second fight Paul Martinez, i Omaha, decisioned Harold (Long Hair) Wilson of Denver. Wilson had a nice left but no right. Constantly through out the fight Wilson would shake the ^ hair out of his eyes but he could not shake the blows of Martinez. T In the third fight of the evening "°Eugene Brown, Omaha welter fresh t0 aTom school proved to the crowd that ? te is right was as good as his left. He ' P1 bored Diego Hidalgo with a right lyrnd smash to the chops early in the second, later in the same round he knocked him out with the same punch. Morton Craves of Des Moines showed the fans that he is the classi est tiring in these parts when he soundly thrashed Mustang Garcia of Santa Fe in the fourth bout of the night. In the semi-windup Joe Danos took an Alex Fidler decision over Gene Buffalo of Philadelphia. The crowd thought that Buffalo did not fight the way he knows and can, I am of the same opinion myself. In the main go Vince Foster took a beating from Ben Montabana of Ala bama. Vince showed the fans that he is not ready for big time fighting and perhaps never will be, in fact I can name two local boys that can and will knock him out. Please believe me. Joe Baksi has reconsidered the offer to fight Joe Louis. The only thing that he can match Louis with is his first name. Baksi would like to fight Louis next fall after a couple of tune up bouts. Louis says that it would be o.k. I don t pick my opponents. I never have and I am not going to start now. That s up to the promoters.” Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia won a one sided decision over George La Rover in Philadelphia the other night in a non-title bout. Montgomery took eight of the ten rounds there fore making the decision unanimous. Tlie reason that Buddy Niccnae was let out of city recreation was the lack of funds and not for reasons un known as stated in this column last week. At the near north side Y George Dixon and the “Hawk” are still taking on all comers and defeating them. What about that stuff you checker, players? Bud Lawson says that he can match fish with anybody. How about that] stuff you fisherman? Last week Law son caught the limit in crappies at Carter Lake while everybody else was catching nothing. Bud contributes his success to just knowing how. At Post No. 1 next Monday night Reggie Hughes, Kippy Triggs, and James Woniack will step into the squared circle to square off against other men in their classes. Hughes, Triggs, and Womack are favorites to sweep the matches in their classes. So come on out next Monday May 19! and cheer these boys on. — WAITERS COLUMN By H. W. Smith R. R.

It's high time for good gardeners to get together for a sociable eve ning and compare notes on favorite theories on seeds and exposures. You’ll bountifully fulfill your host ess duties if you provide sweets and ample beverage supplies to spice the conversation. A treat that’s sure to appeal to spring-time appetites is a plateful of tiny open face cookies filled j with varied sweets. A light crisp confection is best to co-star with jelly and fillings. It’s a good idea to serve decaffeinated coffee so your enthusiastic gardeners can spice their conversation with extra cups without losing sleep later on. Sec ond euu3 are no trouble, if you use the new instant decaffeinated cof fee. Just add hot water, if the tem perature’s right for a piping hot beverage. Or if the evening’s sud denly warm, just dissolve the in stant decaffeinated coffee with wa ter from the tap and add ice. In a minute you’ll be assured of a tink i ling glass of rich, full-bodied coffee. A fluff of whipped cream adds ap peal to the iced glass. As a festive touch try mixing the decaffeinated coffee with chocolate drinks. A rolled pastry cookie is best for the jelly filling. Stamp circles with a biscuit cutter. Use a thimble dip ped in flour to cut out the centers from half of the disks. Place a small spoonful of jam or preserves on the lower circles, top with the cut out circles, and bake until they are lightly brown. Serve either hot or 1 cold.

EARLE CONOVER “THEIR HERE” On a huge sign displayed across he front of a store in my neigh borhood may be seen the words, 'Their Here”. Listed below are some of the articles for the sale, :he badly-needed, post war, home ippliances. Every time that I’ve seen that sign I’ve asked myself, “Whose Here" is this, after all? Does it belong to one group?” Ellis Amell, Former Governor of Georgia, recently lectured in our city, using the thought-provoking subject, “Whose America Is this, Anyway?” Let’s think about it! While America was discovered and colonized early by certain nat. 1 ional and religious groups, through out its entire history immigrants from practically all sections of the 1 globe have settled in it. So, from the very first, America was some thing more than a one-group, one culture Country. Yet in many places and in many times some of our fellow citizens have lived so selfishly and so blindly that they have deprived others of their own birthrights. “WE THE PEOPLE” The Preamble of our constitution may well be a ‘'must'’ reading for our citizenry: “WE, the PEOPLE of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, estab lish justice, insure domestic tran quility, provide for the common, defense, promote the general wel fare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos terity, do ordain and establish thi3 (Continued on Page 4) - FREEZER EV3EN - 8 MEN NEEDED FOR IMMEDIATE EMPLOYMENT IN OUR FREEZER DEPARTMENT GOOD PAY - Time and a half over 40 hours weekly Apply in person OMAHA COLD STORAGE CO.
