Critics? Yes that's exactly
what they are and good ones
without inhibitions. So. while
mother dances, the children are
being entertained and educated
in the arts at the same time.
1t is proof of what can be done
with small children's pliable
minds. Given that type of en-
vironment they can become just
as eager about assimilating cul-
ture as any other way of life.
The children come in contact
with first name dancers. Just to
mention a few, Jackie proudly
spelled off and spelled the ones
the children know very well:
Alexandra Danilova, Fredric
Franklin (director of the Wash
ington Ballet whom they refer
to as Uncle Freddie), Maria
Tallchief las Indian as it
sounds) and Andre Eglevsky.
Seeing their teacher dance
professionally is beneficial to
her students, too. Here is a first
hand demonstration of what
training can lead to, plus all the
fanfare, brilliance and cresendo
of the stage.
The future of the ballet is get
ting better, Jackie thinks, for
young people dedicated to this
art. She believes more boys will
find their way into the dance,
especially the athletic, well-co-
ordinated type. Some of the
boys she has taught were sur
prised that ballet can be just as
rugged as football. Of all the
sports, it resembles swimming
the most.
Ballet is coming into its own
in America" she added. Accord
ing to her memory, there were
only three ballet companies in
this country 10 years ago, all
located in New York. If you
happened to live in the west,

AIIlpHllIledLer.
The company left on the
Fourth of July to tour seven
states in four weeks. AS one of
the four leading ballerinas in
the Washington Ballet, she will
have her share of being in the
limelight. They alternate the
principal roles, Constantly re-
hearsing, Jackie comments, "a
dancer is like an athlete or a
concert artist. She must prac-
tice every day to keep fit" 1t
is a terrific challenge. One day
you might dance well, the next
day certain passages may need
improving"
The natural question that
pops into everybody's mind
about Jackie is "how does she
do it?" Having danced two sea
sons professionally with the
New York City Ballet and also
with the Pittsburgh Civic Light
opera, she says she can't stop
being active. Luckily, her chill
dren, Judith 5, and Billy III, 5,
have conformed easily and are
interested in the theater.
Without the cooperation and
support of her husband she ad-
mits she would not be able to
carry on. "He is my chief baby
sitter, dinner getter and usually
claps the loudest. He feels the
children's association with the
theater and famous people is
giving them something terribly
special. They love to go to re-
hearsals and company classes
and will sit completely en-.
thralled," she explained.
At their tender age they know
more about backstage theater
than many adults. They see the
instruments close up, they know
how effects are created; how
lights and scenery are used. You
can't fool them. They sense
what's good and what's bad.

was a big man" and they decided
they would take him.
He returned to this small COM
munity on business many times
and he always stopped with Mrs.
Jones and her brood. In fact, after
the first visit he brought his wife
and she and Mrs. Jones became
good friends. How his wife helped
Mrs. Jones! She got enough orders
for quilts so that Mrs. Jones and
her mother spent all of their spare
time "piecing" quilts, and they re-
ceived the top price for them. Mrs.
Jones was so happy to be able to
stay home with her children. She
was earning more money than
she ever dreamed of earning.
This good neighbor has passed
on but no one will ever forget her
because she was indeed a good
neighbor. She did what she could
for anyone who needed her help,
never asking nor expecting any
thing in return. Her life was bless
ed and she prospered and enjoyed
the love and loyalty of her chill
dren.
To be a good friend is one of the
noblest and most difficult under
takings.-Anon.

Webb's wife, said, willie got
mad at me" and the hassle was on.

He said he was going to kill
me, and then he went for the shot
gun" police quoted her as saying.
A number of children and adults
in the neighborhood were in the
alley when Webb's wife came run
ming by. Suddenly there was a
shuddering roar Numbered from
the shotgun.
Ten persons, including Patricia
Mae, who was hit in the left hip,
dropped from their wounds.

ing wounds were hit in the legs or
feet. Alvin Griggs, 4, the youngest
to be hit, was wounded in the
back and right leg.

Gulf Oil Co. &
NAAcP Confer
On Firm Bios

New York, July 21.-Following
conference here with representa-
tives Of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, David Searls, vice presi-
dent and general counsel of the
Gulf Oil Corporation said that the
company would continue efforts to
make their products available to
all customers irrespective of their
race or political activity.
The conference was held on July
20 for the purpose of exploring
ways and means of ending the
deadlock created by the refusal of
Reuben S. Rhea, the Gulf distribu-
tor in Somerville, Tenn, to sell
gasoline and other Gulf products
to Fayette County Negroes who
had registered TO vote or partic-
ipated in the NAACP-sponsored
campaign to roll up large Negro
registration.
Mr.. Rhea has been specifically
charged with refusal to sell Gulf
oil to John McFerren, a Somer-
vile service station owner and a
leader in the Fayette County voter
registration cmapaign.
As a result of refusal of local
distributors to sell to politically
active Negro farmers, merchants
and others in the county, NAACP
Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins,
in a memorandum issued on July
+ 6, called upon Association men,
bers and friends throughout the
country to refrain from purchasing
gasoline and oil from the offending
companies. In addition to Gulf, he
listed Texaco, ESQ, Amoco. Also
Delta, Lion Gas, and the Southern
Oil Refining Co.
Representing Gulf Oil at the
two-hour conference held at the
N AACP national headquarters
were, in addition to Mr.. Searls, J.
L. Lenker, vice president in charge
of marketing; Dan Kean, special
representative, marketing depart
ment; Fred Schofield, division at
torney; and Paul Sheldon, assist
ant director, public relations.
The Association was represented
! by DR.. John A. Morsell, assistant
to the executive secretary; Henry
Lee Moon, director, public relations;
and L. Joseph Overton, president of
the Associations New York branch.
I Speaking for his company, Mr..
Searls affirmed the Gulf policy ito
serve anyone irrespective Of race,
religion, color or national origin"
He said that company officials had
already had one conference with
their Fayette County distributor
urging him to supply all dealers
and other customers. They expect
to talk further with him. Inasmuch
as Mr.. Rhea is not an employee of
the company, but an independent
contractor, Mr.. Searls explained
they could not order him to sell to
anyone. His contract expires as OF
December l, 1860.

meager but she sat down and
planned how they would get along.
Her mother came from her home
a few miles away and while Mrs.
Alice Jones, the widow, went to
work away from home her mother,
Mrs. Carrie w. took over manage
ing the home and children.
They planted a vegetable gar
den, sold eggs and chickens and
the grandmother, Mrs. Carrie w.
pieced quilts in between all of her
other household duties and with
the help Of the children the house
was neat and clean and so were
the children. That was when wom-
en- really worked at home.
Both women belonged to a church
club and one night while the fam
lily was attending a mid-week
service the minister announced
that the visiting minister who was
to be his superior had arrived a
little earlier than he was expected
and the minister asked for a vol
unteer to take hime home that
night and let him be a guest until
over Sunday.
Not a hand was raised and the
silence was sitting. After about
ten minutes or perhaps it was only
ten seconds, Mrs. Jones, the widow
with six children and her mother,
stood up and said she would be
happy to keep the visiting pastor
until further plans were completed
She, of all the members, was the
least able in any way to provide
for him, but her heart went out to
him, a stranger, feeling he was SC
unweIcome in any of their fine
homes.
Mrs. Jones told the minister
about her children and mother but
he said he loved children and she
had no idea how Inundated he felt
when he found no place had beer
, found for him, and he told Mrs
J Jones her kindness would never be
forgotten.
To himself he was wondering
about being in a home with si2
children as he had some studying
) to do but when he arrived at thu
, house about 9 o'clock his worrie!
! were soon over for he had neve
f met a better behaved group o
E youngsters in his travels.
He noticed the house was no
too large, but it was clean. Mrs
Jones and one of the daughter
disappeared and before long h
was shown into a very pleasan
front bedroom, off of the living
room. where he could study o.
rest, quietly. He was very happ,
