 More real and more satisfying than oil the legends about Santa is this romantic group gathered for the parting gesture at dinner on Christmas day. The giant Santa Claus. with his genial face and Icy WhiskerB Of vanilla fec cream, stands on C mound of piStaGhi0; his warm red coat is Of raspberry fec; brown boots of chocolate cream, and c pack of brightly col. ored toys made of assorted fec cream iS slung across his back. His cohorts -- almost ag forgeous -- are made of raspberry fec chocolate and vanilla cream and the biz red balls aro of raspberry leo an va- nilla leo cream.
 But Wsh.e-W .... you are think ing ... that dessert K too OK. trAvasantiy costly for mol Not at all, as 1t happens.

 Candle light is the most appro- priate illumination at this point iii the dinner service; and, too, t makes cool light which is easier on the fec cream.

 A little secret that you'll also Dc glad to know has to do with the cotton.

vast majority Of this organization
Of Negro workers has been under
the banner Of the Go, whose UNI
ions have no barriers because OF

uefs, and maintain no Jim crow
unions. even in the South.
Of great significance Is the new
theology that has begun to per-
meate Negro churches, fraternal
orders, social clubs, etc. Particu-
larry interesting is the fact that the
church leaders. as was brought Out
so clearly and foreibly BY the Rev
Marshall spehard Of Philadelphia
who Is also member Of the State
Legislature, stated IN his keyliote
address from the deliberations Of
the religious session. that
the Negro church Is beginning to
recognize that If It is TO survive
and maintain It's position n Inc
leadership Of the people, It must
be on the basis Of fulfilling its tas ,
in the community. not only IN a
spiritual sense, but IN assisting in
the day to day struggles Of The
people. for the fuller realization Of
the material things that the ful-
fillmcrt Of the economic. cultural
and social needs Of the people ,los,

The participation Of Walter
White and T. Arnold Hill Of the
NAACP and Urban League, and
the Congress decision for the con

basic and fundamental Negro or
ganlzstions, points the way for ths
