’AGE FOUR
Inquisitive Sal
By Helen M. Scott
Hello, Folks:
Now that the war news is a
little better, there are a larger
number of smiling faces seen about
the two towns. Some of our imagi
nations have gone as far as to hope
for a quick smashout victory
against Germany and a swift knock
out to Japan, leaving just an
Armistice to be signed and an im
mediate return of our own boys to
their respective homes. . . .
Here and There:
Sorry to hear that HAROLD
HOWLAND (H. B.’s lovelight) who
of late became a member of the
U. S. armed forces, recently
sprained his ankle and is tempo
raritly indisposed in one of the
army hospitals. . . . LILLIAN
GOODHUE PENN entertained
CAB CALLOWAY and some of
the members of his show at a party
last week when Cab was in town
appearing at the Orpheum theatre.
. . . Just heard that young couple,
LEROY and THEODOSIA MAR
TIN, have moved from St. Paul
and are now residing in Minne
apolis. . . . Just received a letter
from SGT. BENJAMIN SMITH who
visited in Minneapolis a short while
ago (while enroute to Canada).
Sgt. Smith, a Howard Graduate
and a former member of the public
school system in Washington, D. C.,
is getting along fine and sends his
regards to all his Twin City friends.
. . . Now that the Allies have
opened the Second Front, a lot of
Twin Citians are wondering if any
of our home boys, who were sta
tioned in Ireland and England, have
been sent to any of the sections in
Africa. . . . DOROTHY HALL is
dashing about town these days in a
sharp new black fur coat. . . . What
out-of-town Sergeant is quite inter
ested in JEANETTE DORSEY?
By the way, Jeanette and Mrs. M.
Himmelman entertained last week
in honor of GERALDINE LAW
HORN, charming deaf and blind ar
tist who recently appeared in a re
cital in the Twin Cities. It was in
deed a real pleasure to have met
Miss Lawhorn, who in spite of her
handicaps, has accomplished more
than many of us who have no han
dicaps. . . . When JULIUS
FRANKS, one of Michigan’s top
football stars, was in town a short
while ago, he dated KONNIE PUT
NAM and also took her to dinner.
. . . The Wheatley House football
team is really busy these days prac
ticing for the Annual Wheatley-
Hallie Q. Brown football game on
Thanksgiving Day, 3 p. m. at Ham
lin University Field. Tickets will

Welcome Hall News: Mrs. Lil
lian Parkinson, evangelist, of St.
Peter A. M. E. Church, Minneapolis,
was the speaker at the Stewardship
meeting November 5. A very fine
lesson on “The Value of Testing,”
using the Scriptural background
I. Peter 1:17, was enjoyed by the
group. This group will meet at the
Emanuel Congregational Church as
the guest of the Missionary Society
Thursday, November 12.
Woman’s Night will be featured
jointly with the Mothers’ Club at
their regular meeting Monday,
November 16th. Mrs. Lelia Smith,
who is in charge of devotions, has
arranged a Thanksgiving service
which will be read responsively, led
by Mrs. Clara Hill, assisted by
Danith Calender and Ann Morris.
The speaker for the evening will
be Mrs. E. Ritchie; her subject,
“Food a War Weapon.” There will
also be a demonstration of food
preparation. Mothers are urged to
meet at 7:00 p. m. with workers in
charge of their children’s activi
ties. Program will begin at 8:00
p. m.
Two highly entertaining moving
pictures were shown Saturday night
at Ober Surprise Night; boys and
girls are finding it quite worth their
time to be at Ober on Saturday
nights between the hours of 6:30
and 9:00 p. m. A very interest
ing feature of the evening is a child
evangelism group led by Miss Coop
er. Bible stories, told or dramatized,
and the singing of choruses are
used as a means to lead the child
to accept Christ.—Welcome Hall
reporter.

Union Diaries
The following letter was received
by the Associated Negro Credit
Union from Cpl. Joseph G. Jones,
whereabouts unknown. Stories car
ried in this newspaper recently
stated that the Credit Union as a
part of its public service would
send, upon request, a service men’s
diary to any Twin City man in the
armed forces.
Dear Sir:
The undersigned requests three
of your new leather bound diaries
for issuance to Corporal Walter C.
Blaney, Private First Class Fred
Dukes and myself, all from St.
Paul. Private Readus Fletcher and
Sergeant Connie Sutton are both
stationed here also. Corporals
Walter C. Blaney and Joseph G.
Jones work in the Battalion Head
quarters as clerks, while the duties
of Sutton and Fletcher are Mess
Sergeant and Assistant to the
Chaplain respectively. All of us
are well pleased with our location
here. Just exactly where we are
cannot be revealed. Part of my
duties is bugler and Walter Blanej
is an operator of a portable switch
board we have here. I spent the
week-end with a brother, Private
Richard Jones, at the Aberdeen
Proving Ground, Maryland. I met
several lads from the Twin Cities.
They remarked about the St. Pau’
Recorder and how they enjoyed
reading it. We would appreciate a
copy of the St. Paul Recorder with
a write-up concerning the above
mentioned Twin City lads. Cpl.
Walter Blaney has just returned

My New 1943 Astrology Readings Are Ready
C. M. M.—l am planning on tak
ing a correspondence course in
nursing. Before I take any steps,
I would like to know what you
think about it. I want your answer
right away as I do not want to
•spend any money if I am not go
ing to profit by it.
Ans.: The only way you can
learn nursing is by active experi
ence. If you will enter some hos
pital for training, you will acquire
this experience and have the op
portunity to become a graduate
nurse. A correspondence course
would probably familiarize you
with the duties of a practical nurse
. . . but you want more than just
that. Don’t be satisfied with any
thing lees than an R. N.
W. M. S.—My aunt lives with
my mother and I. She is very
bossy as if we were living with her
instead of her living here with us.
When my boy friend comes to see
me, she sits in the same room with
us. You would think she is having
the date instead of me, for I can’t
get a word in edgewise. How long
will it be before she makes a
change ?
Ans.: What have you done to
show your aunt a good time since
she has been there? She is only 27
and single . . . and likes a good
time. She tries to run the house
because she feels she’s doing your
mother a favor to take some of the
responsibility off her shoulders.
She horns in on your dates for-lack
of entertainment for herself. Why
not have your dates bring some
eligible fellows around to meet her?
When she gets a boy friend of her
own, she will go after him like a
pick-pocket for a crowd and won’t
have any time to steal your thun
der.
M. C.—l am worried. Will you
tell me what to do? My husband
and I were gloriously happy for the
first year fixing up our little home.
For the past four months he has
changed. He doesn’t seem to care
for me any more. People tell me
he is running around with other
women. But he tells me he still
cares. Help me.
Ans.: A house built on sand will

not stand under the storms of life.
A union built without the founda
tion of marriage cannot endure the
demands that life places on it. This
does not necessarily mean that your
common-law husband does not love
you. But he does not feel bound
or obligated to you as he would
with the security of legal marriage.
There is but one way to handle this
situation. You should demand that
he take you as his wife legally.
S. L.—Analyze my question in
your column please. I would like
to go to my aunt’s this fall, with
the hopes of entering business
school or secure some training that
would be of help to me in the near
future. Could I convince my par
ents to let me go?
Ans.: There is a vital demand
at this time for women workers in
every phase of industry. Women
must learn to shoulder the civilian
responsibilities so the men will be
free to fight. ..Convince your par
ents that it is your patriotic duty
as well as looking out for your per
sonal welfare. By all means, make
the arrangements to take up some
kind of training to enable you to
hold a responsible job.
A. M. C. —I am a girl 17 years
old. I have been going with a boy
for some time and now I am in
love with him. He says that he
loves me, but he doesn’t act like he
does. He is married and said he
doesn’t love his wife. That he only
married her to have someone to
help him with his business. Is he
telling the truth?
Ans.: Men do marry for con
venience. But to marry a girl in
order to keep her working for him
would hardly be termed convenient.
For it would be far more costly to
keep up a wife even though she did
work than to pay an employee.
There is something more on the ball
than what he told you ... and don’t
let him kid you that there isn’t.
Whether he stays with his wife for
lucre or for love, you can be sure
of one thing ... he is going to
stay. An affair with a married
man will leave scars that time won’t
erase.

Jimmy Lee’s Sportlight
BY JIMMY LEE
Introducing two home-town lads who made good and when we say
good, we really mean just that. These two boys, Johnny Cotton of Mar
shall High and Jake Lynch of Mechanics Arts, were chosen on the all
conference St. Paul high school squad for the season of 1942, the honor
any football player always strives to achieve.
Johnny, as many of you have probably read of before, was Coach
Monaugh’s star back all season and as the saying goes, "as Cotton went
so went the Marshall club.” Johnny, who is just 17 years old with still
another year left to play, was a triple threat man. In one game he threw
a touchdown pass to his pal Jack Cooper some 75 yards, the pass was
one of the longest thrown out at Central stadium this season. His run
ning and kicking was one of Marshall’s most deadly weapons all season.
Besides being an excellent football player, Cotton also does a good job
at basketball and baseball—quite a “zoot suit” artist, too—eh what,
girls?
Jake Lynch has been called by his Coach Frank Rourke, the “tough
est” end he has seen in quite some time. Jake’s play at end improved
with each week’s game. Like Cotton, Lynch has another year of foot
ball. When football season is over, Jake tosses aside his football cleats
for track shoes, he is one of the best “weight” men on the M.A.H.S.
squad. ... Both of these boys will play with Hallie Q. Brown, Thanks
giving day when the Hallie squad meets the Phyllis Wheatley at Nor
ton Field, Hamline university.. . . THESE boys are the future Franks,
Reeds, Bells, Pollards, Marshalls, and many other good sepia players
before them. ... We think they deserve a good hand for their accom
plishment. . . . Boys allow us to extend our congratulations. We are
proud of you.

“ELECTRIC Ranges are scarce now because Uncle Sam

tanks and ships to win this war. But until Electric Ranges are
again manufactured, buy U. S. War Savings Bonds and Stamps.
You’ll help your country toward a quicker victory, and after
