and festive that the Council has
yet promoted. AS a matter of fact,
the committee is officially publiciz-
ing the 1860 affair as "the-best-
yet Presidents BALI.
With the tremendously large
affiliated membership to be in at
tendance, the major obstacle en-
countered by the committee was
acquisition of large enough quar-
ters. The problem has been solved
this year with the rental of the
huge Marigold Ballroom, Nicollet
Ave. at Grant st. in Minneapolis,
as the site. This elegant ballroom
has a capacity that will adequately
accommodate 1000 persons.
The announced date of the
Presidents Ball is Friday, Novem-
Der 18th. 1t is scheduled to start
at $3.50 pm. In addition to the
customary presentation of awards
to presidents of all affiliated clubs,
many door prizes will be given
away. Plans include obtaining a
city-wide celebrity for presenta-
ton of awards.
The Presidents Ball Committee,
besides its chairman, Wellington
consist of Obie Ripper (Associat-
ed Negro Credit Union), Alfred
Barnes (Twilite Social Club, Ho-
bart Mitchell, Jr., (Club Unoscore) =,
Georgia Doty (Estrallitas), Rose
mary Micheau (Les Amies) q,
Wayne Glanton (Northern Lights
Bowling League) and Anne c.
Browne (Flamingo Club. This
committee has been busy for two
months with detail planning, and
will now continue to be active
translating those plans into a
smooth operating Presidents Ball,
according to Wellington.
Handling the city-wide publicity
to be given the Ball will be Coun-
Gil President Matthew Little.

Billy May Plays Broadway
Orch. leader Billy May may
seem out of cast on his current al
bum, The Girls and Boys on
Broadway, but that's only because
he has shifted from his regular
habit of playing background music
for top singers, to grabbing a bit
of the spotlight himself, with his
full-sized band The LIP feat
ures six songs from the Broad
show, THE Girls Against the
Boys" and other favorite songs
from Tin Pan Alley" Among the
outstanding, from the standpoint
of the orchestra's treatment, are
Dam Yankee" and Guys and
Dolls" and, of course, THE Girls
Against the Boys. Precision
brass, reed, and rhythm sections
combine under Mays direction to
make this LIP one of the most
interesting to hear . Another
convincing performance by the
May orchestra.

these agencies are the Crispus
Attacks Home, Halle Q. Brown
Community House and st. Paul
Urban League. All of the agencies
have services beneficial to any
residents of the Greater st. Paul
when those services are needed.
The services include the broad
fields of health, Counseling, the
handicapped, rehabilitation, job re-
ferrals, citizenship building, lei
sure time activities, child and
youth guidance and many others.
Three out of four families having
children are benefited through the
various services.
The Chest and it's contributors, "
said Franklin Briese, Chest presi-
dent, can take pride in the fact
that this organization is entirely
under control of the people of this
community. There is local determ-
nation of the amount of money to
be raised. There is local control of
the funds appeal, local control of
the money raised, local control of
the services provided and an an
nual audit of the Chest records by
a certified public accountant.
Every precaution for the pro-
lection of the contributors dollars
is taken. And within this frame
work of local responsibility, the
Chest makes funds available to
our state and national agencies,
such as USO.
Analysis of our goal shows that
more than 80 percent of the money
raised goes directly for local agen-
cies' services and less than eight
percent represents the combined
costs of the campaign and year
around administration.
Increased expenditures of Red
Feather agencies in the next year
are necessitated in part by upward
adjustment of employees salaries
to bring them into the areas pre-
vailing pay brackets; expansion of
present services to meet increased
demands due to concentration of
congested areas; wider contact
with youth groups in the effort to
reduce delinquency; increased serv-
ices to senior citizens; more service
to suburbs as these communities
grow and the generally higher
costs of maintaining services long
established.
Robert F. Leach, general chair
man of the 1860 campaign, is con-
fident the goal will be attained.
I'VE can point with pride" he said,
that this community and its vol
unteer workers have faced up to
responsibilities in the past and 1t
is matter of record that the larg-
er contributors and executive and
employee groups here contribute
more generously in proportion to
their means than do their counter
parts in almost any other COM
munity in the nation"

THE WEEK IN
RECORDS
BY ALBERT ANDERSON
Variations In Jazz Fare

Variety in the overall jazz spec
trum is the feature of this weeks
column. And supplying the spice of
variety are a number of artists
whose latest recording have just
been released.
The artists whose works are
covered here include singers OAK
ota Station and June Christy, and
Julius "Cannonball" Adderley, Bill
ly May and Tony Pastor, the last
three being heard with their in
strumental groups. The Candoli
Brothers also provide a fine musi-
cal entry.
Dakota Swings Softly
Dakota's latest is a fine follow
up-in the same vein-to her last
LIP Dakota Sings Ballads and the
Blues. This one is entitled simply
Softly" and, as it's title implies,
explores even further the mellow
side of ballading. A Capital album,
the disc fractures the usually dy-
manic Dakota singing in a subdued
and senuous manner. She gets
particularly misty on such tunes
as Body and Soul" Solitude,
both familiar standards, and CLOSE
Your Eyes" and Dedicated to
You" two new entries which she
handles delicately but delightfully."-
The background musical set
ting, meanwhile, is provided by a
musical group led by the great
saxophone virtuoso, Benny Carter,
and emphasizes floating strings
and rhythm The recording rep
resents another top effort by Miss
Station, and should stir lively sales
business.
June's Cool
June Christy's latest entry for
Capitol is entitled The Cool
School," and is just as cool. Cooler,
in fact, than her previous album
Misty" which went over so big.
For here the former Stan Kenton
vocalist treats songs that are even
lighter. Subtitled, Songs for
Grown-Up Children" the album in
cludes such "charmers" as Ding
Dong! The Witch Is Dead" and
Swinging on a Star" which may
be a trifle misleading because
there is nothing childish in the
way June presents them. She is

HOME VEGETABLE STORAGE

If there are proper storage con-
ditions in the home, some of the
garden produce may be kept for
fresh use during the winter
months. A corner of the basement
might be walled off to provide
space where conditions can be kept
suitable for storage. Such a room
should be insulated on walls and
ceiling and have some type of ven
tilation. An opening through the
outside wall or a window with
ventilator shaft extending to the
floor will facilitate circulating the
air and regulating the temperature
in the storage room.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-09-23

Moisture is another factor to be
considered. Onions and squash keep
better if the air is dry and the
relative humidity is between so to
10 percent. Other garden produce
prefer a moist atmosphere.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-09-23

Temperature is one of the most
critical factors in keeping fruits
and vegetables. Squash and pump
kin prefer warm temperatures be-
tween 40 degrees and so degrees
F., whereas onions, potatoes, car
rots, beets rutabagas, turnips, par
ships, cabbage and apples keep
better at 80 degrees to 40 degrees
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-09-23

After the vegetables and fruits
are harvested, they are still alive.
To keep them living as long as
possible it is necessary to regulate
the temperature and humidity of
the storage room. This will slow
down the growth processes and
maintain the edible quality of the
stored product.

St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-09-23

For best success store only the
high quality produce. Select veg
etables free of defects and disease.
Be sure the vegetables have been
properly matured before placing
them in the storage room.
