Cooperate With These Merchants. They Solicit and Appreciate Your Trade.
Each year The Omaha Guide launches its Annual “Prepardness Campaign” in cooperation with the local Coal and Heating Merchants.
We wish to particularly call your attention to the fact that due to the numerous coal strikes the price of fuel must necessarily be rais
ed. To avoid paying higher prices and to reassure prompt delivery in the fall, it is wise to place your order NOW.; also to have your
furnace cleaned and repaired. “Don’t delay act NOW.”
The following Merhants whose Ad appears in this Special Edition and elsewhere appreciate your trade.

His fearlessness in the 'ace of

angry and feel ashamed. It is
a book about democracy by one
who has come to know it through

The first tine he went south,

Africa defintel/ had a message
to bring to America; a gospel of
living up to the human beliefs
they profess. Turning to the
fifth Chapter of St. Mathew gos
pel, he read that we should love
our enemies and do good, to them
that despitefully use us.
He thought—at least, the black
people do not act like enemies
o the white. Certainly the whites
would have been treating us, the
blacks, as brothers because they
are a Christian peop'e. If white
brothers discriminate against
their blacks ones, how do they
propose to make it easy for the
blacks to love them?
The- race segregation law did
not make sense—What hyocrisy!
What a pardo<: Wha: a shame
to Christianity and Democracy.
He came from a long ancestry
of people who knew no discrim
ination, whose statutes contain
no race segregation ordinance.

the honorable professor Jim even
when he crow with a Bible in his
hand. This was his impression of
the south, when he had just been
here two years in America.
No Au.-.ican organization was
interested in supporting or help
ing him. The only chance for him
to carry on was to work and
work and work. He worked for
his room and board. '
Ojike has written these two
books which are easy to read an&
which any reader who knows
little about Africa will find highly
lniormauve. The story of ‘My
Africa", is a general survey of
Africa, missing no points. He tells
almost everything that anyone
would want to know about a Con
tinent and a people with great

Since finshing his book, ‘‘I
Have Two Countries’, Ojike has
returned to Africa to put his de
ucation and experience to work
for the betterment of his country.
Ojike has proven that despie
many hardships and opposition
that one can do almost anything
if they have the will.

Attention Gates!!! Let’s Con
centrate! Sunny P. what’s all this
mystery between you and June
Walker ?
A young man with a wonderful
voice, but who is too modest to
admit it is Mr. Delbert Stewart,
better known to most as Skipper.
Spotted—walking out Choc. Ave„
Friday Nite was Miss Cozie Eu
banks in her bright red— look
sharp as ever.
Ruth Lewis seems to be pretty
good with her left hand, I mean
bowling of course, seen her get 2
strikes in a row, good luck lefty,
(smile)
Wonder was that Willie McClain ;
in those white slacks the other
nite going from one side of 24th
street to the other. Wonder was
she trying to find what side of the
street she was on or did she want
to be seen? Dig me.
Paul Orduna is being admired
by a certain Jean, Look out Mass
or she’ll pull thg wool right over
your eyes!!!
Buzzing around town—we find

their Be Bop sweaters.
A cute number but shy is Dolea
Davis.
Gone-girls have you missed
Charles Stewart? Well just in
case you want to know I heard
he’s in Topeka (if you should
learn better, boot me.)
This issue will be out before
the dance but will tell you in my
next issue about the International
Sweethearts of Rhythm. August
3. at the Dreamland Ball Room.
Some tell me that Frank Cottrell
is North Omaha’s playboy but
others say lovely Raymond C.
How about it girls.
Jitterbugs, Please watch your
public conduct, leave your policy
slips jugs and loud talking at
home.
Congratulations to Deloris Hall
and M. L. Reed who said two little
words Friday nite to the preacher
‘1 do.” Good luck to you both.
Two smart people are Ruth
(Booker) McDonald and her hubby
We are wondering when vows
will call Netty and Tolly. Soon I
hope Good deal.
Rose Vaugh is a number that is
really on the kick.
Well Kids, it’s true and it will
happen soon. I mean Palmyre. and
Jack will soon say wedding vows.
Wonder where Barbara Scott
has been keeping herself. Come
out Kid, we miss you.
Boom! Sizzil! Gulp! it’s one of
those delicious malts that Pearl
Faulkner makes at Johnson’s

Look out, Kid, or you’ll end up
eyeless.
So they tell me. C. J. Adams is
just about the idea guy for a swell
girl.
Stop- Have you seen him! Well
he was here but he’s gone. I’m
speaking of our great friend,
Billie Cunningham’s cousin from
Washington, D. C. His name is
Reuben Nichols. He's about 5”6’
teasingly brown any my what a
lad. Left Wednesday for K. C.
Come back Reuben and let the
good times roll.—cause won’t be
nobody here but us chickens,
(smile)
Katheryn Prayer is one who we
don’t see much of anymore.
Well it happened and they lost.
I mean the hard hearted Lions
lost another game. Score 1 »o 0
in favor of the opposite tt .ra.
Too bad Hill. Better luck next
time.
To one of my many readers who
is always trying to get an even
break to become a great fighter, .
you must have a fight with your
guilty conscience and get licked
(that’s the truth.so help me).
In closing, always remember
that the best way to test yourself
is as follows: If you want to da
something, you’ll find a way; if
not, you’ll find an excuse.
Until next week.
