Talk

Do you know Uncle Ross, no not
Uncle Ross that runs the Drug Store,
and not Tom Ross that all the high
school girls GET CLOSE UP TO
WHEN 1T HAPPENS TO be raining
around 2:15. but the Uncle Ross that
used to write the children's column
stories of the World Herald. Well In
Gle Ross is connected with the public
relation department of the North
western Bell Telephone Co. He called
at our office, the largest Newspaper
ffice of it's kind west of the Missouri
River, Monday to see the acting Edi-
or, c. c. Galloway. The acting Editor
let one Of DIR. Lennox's fighting let
tiers that was hitting just below the
belt a little bit get by him. Sometimes
DR.. Lennox cuts too deep and the act
ing editor is forced to put on the
brakes. Did you think we permit them
all to be published, | wish you could
see some of those letters we have to
forget On purpose one in a while.
You know the Omaha Guide is in a
peculiar situation just a little bit diff
ferent from DR.. Lennox. The Omaha
Guide is not fixed up like DR.. Lennox
for if he gets any bucks he gets from
the colored folks, but if the Omaha
Guide gets any bucks it gets them
mostly from white folks. So you see
things are just a little bit different.
That Is why we don't print all of DR..
Lennox's letters. Uncle Ross assured
US that the telephone Co., is one of
the finest company in the world, and
is manded with the highest class exc
cutives that any firm could possibly
hope for-men of their word and hon.
or, and Uncle Ross said this with a
smile. We think Uncle Ross is right.
In the first place we get a check ev-
cry month from those gentlemen, and
that has just a little bit Of weight on
our thoughts. Of course. We were on
the committee that had to wait only
two hours thirty minutes for Mr.. Belt.
President of the-company concern
ing a little neighborhood enterprise.
We made an application for the use of
the old Webster station for the Mid
City Community Center, and by the
way, DR.. Lennox was on this commit
tee too. rs usual the Doctor made a
professional call that delayed him, and
when the chairman of the Committee.
Mr.. E. w. Sherman, with his co-work-
ers, Mr.. Harry A. Taylor, Mr.. Her
mar Friendlander and Mr.. C. C. Cal
loway were coming down from the Of
flee on the elevator they met DR.. Len
o going up. But you know suffer
ing humanity comes first, and the
Doctors are the only ones who can
give relief in these cases. Mr.. Belts
answer was yes by phone to our chair
man. When the keys were turned over
to us, don't you ever think that there
was not a holler went up to the high
Heavens from other jealousy similar
neighborhood organizations. Did YOU
know we didn't pay one dime rent. and
to make it more perfect we are fur
nished a telephone free. Isn't that
something to be thankful for. Have
you seen the Mid-City Community
Center. Did you know that from 1900
to 1000 men women and children are
using this building every week for
educational and r~ecreational purpose
that otherwise they could not en-
JOY, without one penny of cost. Do you
know that this was through the kind
ness of the Northwest Bell Telephone
officials. Did you know
lights, gas and water was furnished
free. Did you know that nine men that
live and do business in this comm.
unity meet every Monday at IL o.
clock assist the three unpaid secretar-
les and the two unpaid men helpers to
serve this large group of humanity
that needs this service. Did you know
there are three local Dentists that !
AXE turn about in relieving suffer
ng humanity of their teeth trouble
hat cannot afford to pay. Did you
know it is your duty to show some ap-
to an organization of this
lind. A kind word to the officials
would make the burden just a little
'it lighter. Kind words like the follow
