Negro Minstrel.
Show

NEW YORK, June 2. (ANP)
An all Negro radio program,
National Minstrels," will replace
the series, "a Day in the Life of
Dennis Day." this summer over
the National Broadcasting COM
pany network. The first min
~strels" will be aired Wednesday,
July 7, at 8 p. M.
The cast will be headed by
Lucky Millinder and his band and
singer "Bull Moose" Jackson.
Also featured on the program will
be vocalist Annisteen Allen, Groom
er Paul Breckenridge, the Four
Tunes, the Hall Sisters and COM
Medicine Jackie Mabley.
Guest stars will also be pre-
| scented each week. Listed for
guest shots are Lena Horne, Sarah
Vaughan, the Ink Spots, Louis Jor-
dan and Bill Robinson.
Although most Negroes r in
| favor of the idea of an all-Negro
radio program, many are opposed
to the idea of a minstrel type af-
fair.
Under the plans of the produc-
ers, the Moe Gale agency and
NBC officials, this sustaining fea-
ture twill combine the technique
of the minstrel show and the
follies."
Many opponents of the idea
connect the Ministries with the old
time loud talking blackrace COM
edian. They say that this type of
program may give America the
wrong impression of the Negro.
One oppoent said:
81 am not opposed to the title
for the planned NBC show but
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-06-03

the show itself. Use of the thread
bare stereotype of the Negro min
strel shows either a lack of under
standing or a lack of taste; NBC
and Moe Gale should know bet
ter, or they should ask some
body"
Those who favor the program
are enthusiastic because it offers
more obs to colored in a new field,
one booster said:
"It will be highly entertaining
and it could be hilarious on the
radio"
At the present time both sides
seem to be about equal in num-
bers.

GYPSUM CANNING co.
TO WIDEN PRODUCTION
STACKS REMEDY
SMOKE CLOUDS
Chill Sauce, Whole Tomatoes
and Apple Butter Are
To BE Canned

Plans for increased production
at the Gypsum Canning company
plant, South Railroad street, were
announced this week by manager
K. A. Rice who stated that chill
sauce, canned whole tomatoes and
apple butter will be added to the
line canned at the local plant.
For many years, ketchup, puree
and cherries have been the only
products processed here. Before
the war, tomatoes had been canned
also, and many years ago, pump
kins were also procesSed.
Mr.. Rice reported that the plant
is now contracting tomato acreage
in this county, and that the price
for number l tomatoes will be two
dollars per ton higher than last
years price.
Farmers will contract to grow
tomatoes for $50 per ton for num-
ber one grade, and $l8 for num-
ber two grade. Approximately $50
acres will be planted in tomatoes,
with the plants, purchased locally
and in Georgia, to be placed in the
ground starting May Is.
Smoke Problem Eased
Noting the many complaints
against smoke, the Gypsum Can
ming company has installed two
large smoke stacks and stokers are
are also being installed in the plant
to help alleviate the smoke nuis-
ance.
Production in the canning COM
pany opens late in June when sour
cherries from the Bellevue orch
ards are brought here for canning.
After the local crop is processed,
the crew goes to Northport, Michi-
gan, to can the cherry crop in that
locality.
To Import Workers
As an aid to the tomato grow
ers, the Gypsum Canning company
this year is inaugurating a plan to
bring Mexican pickers from Texas
to pick the tomato crop. Over 100
workers will be imported, and will
be housed by the growers who have
suitable housing accommodations.
In the past growers have imported
the pickers, but the plan was not
always successful.
