Defense Chiefs Given Control In Enemy Raids

Der Of people were standing around
on the outside. However, / picked
up courage, rush through the stand
ing-throng and entered the church
but 10 and behold there was no one
inside. No one even to take my
ticket at the door. However, 1 went
in and took a seat. Thanks to al
lah, I was at least on time. I didn't
have to wait long, maybe a half
hour or SO, when the patrons start
CD filling the auditorium. For DIV
ersion we had a little comedy skit.
Some of the stronger-back men held
a contest of Some sort. The idea
seemed to be to lift a piano from ole
| place and put it in another without
turning over too many chairs. Ev-
entually the feat was accomplished
and soon the program commenced,
exactly on time, except that all Of
the time my watch was on fast
time instead of Omaha time. Can
| you beat that C C?
OF the program itself; someone

town like Omaha 1 don't suppose 1
dare say which numbers I liked the
best. Maybe the one I didn't like
| the best might be among your best
subscribers, and then I would be in
dutch wouldn't I? However, for
better or for worse. for more sub
scrioers or less subscribers, Ill
mention the numbers that made an
Impression upon me.
To Miss Ethel Jones (who is a mu-
sic teacher I understand) goes a
great big hand for collecting such
an array of talent and no doubt
each was tops but 1 a poor dumb
music criterion, couldn't distinguish
the best from the next best. Here's
what pleased me, however, and what
J would go again to hear.
The Friendly Five, Quartette, ac-
cording to the program, consisting
of VIM. Hubbard End tenor; Eddie
Hallist tenor; Leslie Loud, baritone;
Fitch & Owens, Bassos.
The trio, Jewell Ware, Matte
Fort, and Florence Joiner. 4
I don't remember the son but
that voice of Jacqueline johnson
certainly captivated my attention.
Has she ever taken voice lessons, c..
C?
And the solo by Lee MCGEE, ten
or. accompanied by Miss Berniece
Gray, had ev erybody tapping their
feet. 1 believe it was named, II
Know I've Got Religion or some
thing like that.
The Zion Harmony -Four, Leroy
Guide. Earl McCutcheon, Charles
Williams and r. Reynolds, remind
ed you of one of the real old-time
jubilee q~uartettes.
The solo of Mrs. Blanchlee Wright
and also the solo of Miss Ruth For
! rest, accompanied by her sister,
Miss Audrey Forrest, were most
pleasing.
/ 1 needn't say, or need I, that the
soprano solo Of Miss Bernice Gray,
accompanied by Mrs. Gladys And
erson, was particularly pleasing.
I also liked the voice of Harold
Butler.
One simply had to admire the ve--
seattle talents of Sylvester Stroud
for he either featured or was ac-
companist to many numbers.

Speaking of churches. G. G. thanks
to the little girl who writes, The
Girls On the Streets" for answering
one of my impudent questions. I
shall go around to that building
the church-and enjoy their serv-
ices. I'll tell you about it, C. c.

Thinking of the author of, "The
Girls On The Streets" reminds me
that a letter arrived during the
week from one, Corp. Homer G.
: Anderson, Headquarters Detach-
ment, 7th E. T. Group, Fort Leon
ard Wood, Missouri, United States
Army reading as follows:
I'm the latest edition of the Guide,
Girls on the Streets" was erroa-
eously omitted. Request that it lie
sent to me at your earliest conven-
fence if possible, as it is my favor
lite page. Thank you. Homer c.
Anderson"
How do you like that little Miss?

Some more association of thought.
Thinking of the Army, 1 am re-
minded that only today 1 called on
Mrs. Charles N. Panky, Jr., of 31t0
Corby Street, whose hubby is in the
