PAGE SIX THE CAROLIWA TIMES SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1950 HOME 90Y’S REPORT FROM HARLEM BY LIN HOLLOWAY You can't sw* it, smell it, hear it or touch it, but you know It’s there. It s there all the time. It’s strange pulsing nature contacts yon above the stacatto of typewriters, in the montontoiions on. -two beat of a press you can feel it. It’s more in evidence in the nigbt clubs and at the bars than the constant flow of intoxicanU and the heavy reil of smoke. You know it’s there. — You just feel it. It 's with you \\)h*u you rc on the train runniugf awHj. It 's -^vith you whou you travel thriH^ miles a niinuU“ ’way up above the eloudN It's with you on that lonely stretch of high way. Your car litrht.s slit in just as though it wasn t there. — But it is. Yet, you keep running, trying to get away. Changing scenes, doing new things. Meeting new people. It wii-s with me ti ll yi'iirs aK'o when I went into the ('ARO- Ll\.\ TIMKS ..fli. f v.'. kiii*; a tlainf ticket and coming away with a job — a by-liii*' It whs there in the Midwest, Jhe l)eep South, the North. V«t, I kept running away from it — dodging it. Kiutwiug I (■oiildn’f win, but still giving it a play for all it wiis Avorth. And it caught up with me — fair and square. It floor ed me just as cleanly as Joe Louis floored Schemling, as bruUlly as Sugar Ray clipped Sugar Costner. 1 knew it liad me Avhen Doc .sat there just playing with his pencil . . . doodling, fashioning recognizable out of a series of lines, circles, etc. lie wouldn’t say anything ... he knew that I knew. “So this is it,” I asked. “Yep, son,” he said, “thi* is it!” ;--r V- And 90 that WAS it. It luis caught up with me, and it had won. I knew that 1 was through — yes, finishe^. Not for ever. but just for a while. “Get away, son,” Doc said, “Get some rest. Just lay up and do nothing for a while, and then, you’ll be all right.” "Yeah — I'll be all right, yeah!” And so that’s the way it is. It’s got me. Fatigue, over work, long hours, all of them together adding up to what I’d expected — that breakdown. Nervous? Yes. Moral? Nof Just a brenkdown, that phenomenon that snatches at yon when you’ve “got it made.” That yanks you off the scene you’ve' just begun to see the way clear. That shreiks at you. ‘‘Restl You ain't Superman 1 Rest!” And so it must be. Homebody heads for Dixie. Back to the same old beat, the familiar scenes, rest — and then— well, who knows? My heart knows what the wild goose knows. Maybe I’ll go where the wild goose goes. Be that as it may. Tliis is Homeboy’s last report from Harlem—30. IVe Been Thinking BY CAB CALLOWAY Spring is definitely in the air. Jlilady’s hats are getting friskj-, and she’s getting that look in her eye . . . the one that says, “I’ve been wasting awaj’ in this house all Winter and now that fair weather’s here again, I’m going to take a week off and visit motiier.” No doubt about it, the man of the house is going to find himself left to his own resources one of these weeks very soon. That’s why I thought this column would be especial ly apropos. These are handy household hints for the be wildered male so that he will be able to take care of him self while his better half is away. RECEIPE FOR TOAST Ingredients: Bread . . . dull knife. Place the bread in the oven and turn the fire up high. There’s no need to tend it, so go ahead and shave wMle it cooks. When through shaving, open oven and remove. Take bread to sink and scrape with dull knife. When gold en brown color appears, butter and eat. WHOLESOME DINNER MENU Pork and Beans (canned) , V Spaghetti (canned) Toa.st (see recipe above) Bread if the kiddies are still hungry’. Women may object to this piece, but then, they make a lot of unnecessary work for themselves, so don’t pay them any mind. This business of making beds, for instance. Don’t do it! Beds need airing anyhow, so just throw the covers back until you’re ready to go to bed again. Bathing the kiddies. Waste of time. They just get dirty again anyhow. Try this scheme. Once a week, turn them loose on the front lawn and let them play with the garden hose. They’ll squirt each other until they’re pretty clean. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the bathroom. Cleaning house isn’t as hard as the wife would have you believe. Put accumulated papers, letters, magazines, etc., into neat piles every few days. Swept dirt under rugs. Don’t let empty tin cans pile up where the kids can reach them. While flies gather, wa.sh di.she.s. This is easily done by pil ing them in the sink or a large tub and letting them soak for a few days. When they liave soaked until fairly clean, turn on hot water full force and hold dish unde'r water until clean. If you have friends over for pok«r, try to discourage them from throwing cigar butts on the floor or rug. This practice not only clutters up the house but also may be the cause of small fires from time to time. Alcohol stftiiis fine furniture finishes, so do your imbibing in th" kitch«'n. If the draiiiboards are cluttered with dirty diKhes, you can lay your trl.tsses on the floor since alcoho! does not stain linoleum. Don’t bother putting up lunch for the kids. Give them a dime to spend on candy bars. Candy is fully of energy, JKow, don’t thank me for these hints. I like to be helpful and it’s been a pleasure. I know you’ll fare swimmingly! j"De«pf" To Open I At Famous jPhilly Nitespot I’HILADKLl’lllA, I'A. Direct from a record-brcHklng ciigflgenient at the Tic Tock Club in Montri*nl, the popular Deep River Hoys have opened a stand at the 421 Club in the Quaker Cit yfor their first local app:.‘arance in almost three years The internationally I'anioiis singing group literally took Montreal by storm in their four week run at the Tie-Toe anil .set an all-time attendance record at the swank Dominion iitery.
