aIr- C c. Galloway is a candidate
Tor state Senator of the 5th Dis
trlct- Mr.. Galloway not only de
serves Jul vote, but we should take
it upon ourselves to see that our
friends and neighbOrs go TO the
polls and vOte Q him alongside OF
other deserving candidates.
l have known Mr.. Galloway more
than % years. He has always been
interested in civic affairs and con-
tributed much Of his efforts to
make Omaha a better place To live
in for all of US.
c. c. Galloway was not always
OF the winning side but he stood for
what he thought was right. Let
me cite you a few instances as an
illustration of his good judgment
Of his farsightedness.
Many years ago and now, he was
an ardent supporter Of Senator Nor
ris and his predictions that Senator
Norris will go down in history as
a great champion and exponent for
human liberty His prediction came
true When the Senator introduced
the unicameral system. Mr.. Gallo
way supported this plan and
brought the Senator to a meeting
on north gath street, but people
did not care to listen to him-they
feared the unicamera1 system would
prevent a colored man to be elected
to the Legislature. Mr.. Galloway
knew different and the results a
Negro has been elected ever since.
Mr.. Galloway enjoys the respect
Of many prominent citizens all over
the city too numerous to mention.
How well do I remember his devo-
ton to his good friend H. B. Tim
man when the Brandeis store de-
cided to give the jobs for elevator
operators to coIored girls. 1 don't
know who claimed the credit but l
do know that only through Mr.
GaIloway's influence with Mr.. Zim-
man was it accomplished
The Community Center Of which
I also was a sponsor, may not have
been here, were it not Of the assist
ance and effort Of Mr., Galloway
and had MI. Galloway been retain
ed as head of the Center, We would
have had a larger Center today.
Mr.. Galloway is also a great
friend and supporter OF the candi-
lacy of Senator Wherry for United
States Senator. A promising leader
in Americas present and future
destiny.
I have only mentioned a few OF
the many points why Mr. c c.
Galloway deserves the support Of
every true American.
In this crisis which our country
is facing, it is our duty more now
than ever before, to pay attention
to our elections. It Is our duty to
exercise our right to vote-t0 en-
courage our friends to vote and
above all to find out who the can
didates are before we go TO the polls

Of Philadelphia, recently returned
from the battlefields Of North Afri-
ca, Sicily and Italy.
Miss Romeyn was one Of the Driv
ing Queens Of an American Red
Cross Clubmobile trio. The others
were Geraldine Arnold OF Delaware,
Youngstown, and Columbus, Ohio and
Doris Riker Of Yonkers. nj Y.
This Clubmobile trio was attached
to d corps that included a frontline
unit of hand-picked Negro ahti-air-
craft specialists.
We saw at first hand what keen
soldiers they are" said Miss Rom
eyn- We've watched them in action
many times.
We used to bivouc twenty-five
miles behind the lines with our dough
nut machine and coffee. II took 3
hours every morning TO get to the
front line through the mud and 3
hours to get back to u home tent
that night
As lulls occurred IN the shellfire.
We drove the truck from one gun pos
ltlou to another The soldiers would
take turns leaving their guns to
reach the truck They always had a
big smile and seemed grateful that
we'd come. We tried to stay long e
nough each place to talk with them
a little That seemed to help a.
much as the food
I never heard any OF them com
plain When the shellfire was heav-
lest, they simply would grin and saw.
We're sure having a lot Of war to-
day.
The three girls set something Of a
record for their ability to take care
of themselves and their trucks
under difficult conditions. They had
an early initiation into such rigors.
They drove their mobile unit bv them
selves from the port Of debarkation
Nverseas early last summer, across all
North Africa. When the Sicilian
campaign got under way, they drove
across Sicily IN their work. When
they landed IN Italy, they drove thru
the sl0ggy mud TO bomb-torn Naples
BY then, their vehicle was a two-ton
weapon carrier with four wheel drive
They managed to reach inaccessible
units and somehow, they negotiated
the rough terrain and bombed out
roads.
In both Sicily and Italy, the girls
lived out Of their beding rolls IN
tents They shared the same PRINT
tive living conditions as the Ct
and all the inconvenience. In ItaIv.
however. the soldiers built a wooden
floor high above the mud for the
girls tent They concocted a char
coal stove somehow, and even man
aged 70 stretch electric light wiring
from a headquarters tent. into the
girls quarters
We could hear the big gun all
night long Miss Romeqn recalled
We never considered or living con-
dItIOns As inconvenience, and we GER
tainly never minded. Seeing how
wonderful the fighting men are a
bout everything and how much
they appreciate each little thing We
do, makes Red Cross girls forget ev
erything except the help that they
can give them"
