LOVELY JUNE ANN LEWIS

Seldom do I have occasion
to meet an unassuming young
lady. thus, whenever I do, it is
customary for me to evaluate.
Some time ago I had the pleasure Of meeting the very charming June Ann Lewis of Glenwood Avenue and immediately
became attracted to this lovely
bit of femininity as a consequence of her modesty, June is
the type of girl one expects to
in some remote section,
hence to suddenly come across
this rare individual in a big
city and in these days is like
rare jewel indeed.
Last Sunday afternoon I was
June~s guest at. dinner in. the
well appointed) home of: her
mother. And to say that I enjoyed the hospitality immensely, would be putting it mildly,
Other members of her immediate family in attendance ineluded~ an aunt and grandmother.:

BROWSING

A few evenings ago I spent
some time ~visiting with HarOld Howard and was amazed
to discover: his knowledge about
the situation locally from a social and political point of view,
Mr. Howard is active in civic
affairs and could be relied upon
for sound judgment on matters
affecting people in all walks of
life, My friend Lamar Cook
showed your humble Servant
some interesting sights - last
Saturday night. Lamar, much

~to my regret, has departed for

New Orleans, La., where he is
to~ assume a position as Field
Worker with the CIO, I am
still wishing good: luck. He de

PEABSORARER SAAN O2GOOROS
BUFFALO, N.Y.~(APNS)~,

With the advent of a new jozrna'is.ic endeavor in the
guise of The Buffalo Guardian, Gre more milestone of pragress is chalked up for the City of Buffalo. Naturally, aside
from the progressive reports of the citizens and their remarkable enterprise we must have a lighter vcin and that's where. __ this column come: i>. In it we
will aitempt to kesp you

abreast of the sccial happenings, lighter gossip, theatrical
notes on the gay way and ary
other occurrences that may be
deemed of interest to you, so
with the cooperation of the
~readers (and we expect you to
~ drop us a line concern'ng * our
-adcivlies or to.elephone in
any new-) to keep this cclusxia
- up to par.;
To start the conversa:isn-ball rolling, we'll glince. over the current visitors to our
mm city prior to that great event
2am that~s forthcoming, the [~ks~
Convention. ~Flight Oiczer
Henry L. Mesiah, a native of
Buffalo but at the preseni af-~
~_~ ~ filiated with his Uncle Sam as
JUNE WILLIAMS a pilot, flew home with Lt.
Emert R. Anders of Illinois, to visit his grandmothe:, I Irs. Susie Mills of 101 Walnut Avenue. Lieutenant Anders is a combat. returnee of. the Twelfth Air Force, 322nd Division frem
Italy and Sicily. He has 45 m~ssions to his crecits. Both
young men are stationed at Tuskegee, Ala~ and returned on:

Monday.

Miss Inez Dent, a native of Detroit, Mich.. was the houseguest of Miss Inez Butler, one of the cherming Winsomettes
(the group of girls who plan to open ihe:r own chartered club ~
to the public very recently). Miss Dz<::t aso viciied a. former
friend, Mrs. Janice Bradshaw.

Air seems to be the current mode of:trave! for our progressive friends, who intend to get some place in a urry. At
least that~s what Tommy Crawford, genial ba~tcnder at the!61
Club, used when he went to Nashville, Tern. over the weekend.: ar~ so}
Mr. Richard Kee,of Purdy Avenue is visiting: his parents

wife, Dorothy, admits to be lonesome but readily. admits he
deserves the much-needed vacation.

Dr. O. B. Braithwaite, prominent: dentist of Memphis,.
Tenn., is visiting his daughter and son-in-law,. Mr. and: Mrs:
Edward Scott of Florida Avenue fora week. Dr. Braithwaite:
is one of the national officers of the Alpha Fraternity.

Another note sketched. on my expansive cuff deals with.
the celebration of Beatrice Henderson's birthday the past Wednesday. night in the company of her brother-in-law,
Lewis, proprietor of the Jive Chicken Shack in Lackawanna.
In the party were: Misses Ann C=rroll, Louise Coffee; Messrs..
Willie Knightner and L. C. Lytle.

Mr Lytle gave Miss Henderson a beautiful gift of! a necklace, earrings, and pin to match and she was the recipient of
many lovely gifts. They visited the Club Moonglo, 161, Willie Padora Inn and the Little Harlem of Lackawanna, and the
Bla-Mar of Cold Springs. Miss Henderson is the manager of.
the Jive Chicken Shack. \ ~

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Black of Louisville, Ky. are visiting -his:
nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Blanton: of 183.
Northland Avenue, for two weeks. ee

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Jackson of Lyth Avenue were the
proud parents of a baby girl born on Friday at 9 a.m. Although:
Ralph was ~rooting~ for a boy, he~s gotten reconciled! to the:
fact that he didn~t get his wish and now he states thati He will~
have to get him a shot-gun to keep the future wolves. away.
Sound reasoning.

In the theatrical circles, one that really should rate a complimentary note is Willie Lewis of Cleveland, Ohio. A: forraer
GI, he rates outstandingly as an electric guitar player. at: Chin's.
Pagoda and is the leader of the aggregation.

Being a former Clevelander myself, naturally, it
does the cockles of my heart good to see someone from my
old: home town getting ahead. More power to him, andiif you
get the chance, go see it as it is well worth your while.
While-glancing through Ebony last week | came.across the:
picture of Vivian Jackson, Hilda Craig's twin, smiling back.
The article dealt with Negro women trying to crash Hollywood
and was extremely interesting aside from the fact that it pertained to a personage | know. It just goes to show that Buffalo has talent equal to that of sunny California and- yet they re
content to remain here. Quite a boost for Buffalo! ~Happy~
Craig, as she is nicknamed to her friends, holds court at Fred
Perry's on William Street and is one of the added inducements
for the place. She, too, is one of the charming Winsomettes
and used to entertain with Vivian. They were known as the
Brown Twins.

In~a lighter vein let~s turn to poetry for a contrast:

REVELATION
~] thought that love was a beautiful thing
A gem entwined, in the hair of Spring~
A gift sublime oblivious of pain
But you've taught me such hope is in vain.

I thought that love was the magnetic sun
The clear magic notes of a clarion

The tranquil peace of a task well-done
Not a mold of lies lacking inspiration.

I thought that love was a celestial dream

A bubble effervescent for lovers to gleam

The colorful notes of a musical stream

But you've taught me, things aren't what they seem _

I know now love is a realm of pain -
A vain desire where torture has lain
Nourished in rebellion a wasp of disdain
For you've taught. me love is insane.::
_~ ~Jay Vanleer.
