II you HAVE GUN
PLEASE DON'T TWIST

Los Angeles (ANP) - Twisters
have been advised that it's unsafe
to carry a gun in the waistband.
On the other hand, if the gun is
needed, they were told to wear
tight belt.
The advice to devotees of the
dance came after an unfortunate
incident experienced by one Well
ington Bradford, 81, in the wee
hours.
Bradford was twisting up a
storm, lost in the rhythm and the
music. Suddenly he realized his
pants were wriggling down his
hips. He made a hssty grab to
hitch them back around his mid
die, touched the trigger of his %
caliber revolver that he had tuck
ed in his belt, and shot himself
in the upper thigh.
He said he carried the gun for
protection. The gun-toting twister
was taken to University hospital
by a witness.

Wife Divorces Singer Roy
Hamilton; Voeulisf's Agent
Denies Deserfion ChuFue

Orange, N. ]. (ANP)-A charge
of desertion against singer Roy
Hamilton by his wife, Corene, in
an uncontested divorce suit filed
in New Jersey Superior Court last
week was vigorously denied by the
singers agent, Bill Cook.
However, neither Hamilton, 80
nor Cook, his manager, appeared
in court to contest the divorce.
Hamilton, the father of five chill
dren by his wife, was reported to
be in Boston filling an engage
ment. He is also said to be busily
preparing for a Caribbean tour
following the Boston engagement.
Cook said Hamilton, one of the
nations top singers and recording
artists, has always supported his
family. Commenting on the deser-
ton charge, Cook said:
Il believe the charge of deser-
ton was unfounded. A man who
deserts his wife does not contribute
to her support. Roy paid huge
sums of money through the years
to see that his family was well
provided for"

PhiIIY Ministers
CaIl For BoYcoft
Of A. & P. Stores

Philadelphia (ANP) - A group
of Negro ministers from over 40C
churches in the Philadelphia area
has called a boycott against Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., super
markets, charging the food chain
with discrimination in hiring.
A & P has over $50 stores in
the area. The ministers assert they
can reach close to so per cent of
the 10000 Negroes who live in
and around Philadelphia.
Ministers in the churches assoc
lated with the group, called the
Selective Patronage Program,
asked their congregations not to
buy in A & P stores until the COM
pany meets the committees de-
mands. A & P was asked to hire
at least six Negroes in Philadelphia
general offices, which the group
says employs $50 whites and no
Negroes; to hire 40 more Negro
cashiers and clerks in the stores;
and to eliminate job restrictions
against Negroes in warehouses. A
spokesman for A & P refused to
comment on the boycott.
Since 1t was formed about three
years ago, the group at various
times has boycotted IA other COM
panies, including soft drink bot
tiers, several oil companies and a
newspaper. A spokesman said the
boycott has proved successful "in

McCray formerly operated his
own newspaper but was forced out
of business because of his militant
civil rights stands, said:
"The Democratic party itself

are"
But don't think the Negro vote

the devil it could" he insisted.
Right now, for instance, it would
be impossible to deliver it to the
Republican party"
THE so-called Republican party
in South Carolina is not a real
Republican party. In far too many
instances, its leadership is synony-
nous with the White Citizens
council" McCray charged.
THE present Republicans in this

With regard to the Democrats,
McCray said the crucial question
at the moment is how much longer
will the Negro put up with what
he called lack of proper patron
age from the national office hold
ers.
THE national Democratic party
discriminates against the southern
Negro in favor Of the northern
Negro" McCray charged. "our
support warrants better consider

and a just share Of the patron

McCray said ut would help the
Republican cause If the state COP
would sincerely appeal for Negro
support and give the Negro his
rightful share of patronage plums

Chrisfmas Long
Distance Phone
Tips Offered

Christmas isn't a holiday fol
everyone.
Many people - policemen, fire
men, doctors, nurses, and those
employed by other businesses
which must remain open - are on
duty both Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day.
Long distance telephone operat-
ors are among this group.
Because Christmas Is a time
when families and friends want to
be together, those who can't make
it in person because Of distance
rely on the telephone for their
reunion. This, and the fact that
holiday rates apply, combine to
make Christmas the busiest tele-
phoning time Of the year with
more operators on duty, in many
cases, than during a normal bus
mess day.
To handle this expected increase
in calling, Northwestern Bell
Telephone Company division man.
ager, suggests a few tips to those
who plan to call their loved ones
during the holiday:
If possible, call on Monday
night or even Sunday when the
special rates are also in effect.
This will help spread out the heavy
calling load and will result In calls
going through faster,
Obtain the telephone number
to be called well ahead Of time.
The call will go through much
faster If the distant number is
known beforehand.

The vice-president of the Eleven
Southern States Democratic Party
conference and the editor of the
Carolina edition of The Pittsburgh
Courier, McCray supports his
theory that the Negro will have
tremendous influence on future
South Carolina elections" by point
ing to the recent triumphs of Gov.
Donald Russell, Sen. Johnston,
Congressman Albert w. Watson
and various state constitutional
officials"
McCray, chief spokesman for the
South Carolina Progressive Demo
Gratis, said:
Factor In Olln Johnston Victory
Take $4,000 Negro votes away
from Sen. Johnston in the last gen.
eral election and Workman would
now be on his way to the us,

votes cast Nov. 6, went to Sen.
Johnston. I'VE feel about As per
cent of our 96, 900 registered voters

He said the Progressive Demo-
Gratis reached that conclusion ION
the basis of actual election returns,
reports from county leaders and
reaction from many colored peo-
ple."
I'VE knew quite a while ago Mr..
Workman would get very few Ne

labor elected him over J. Strom
Thurmond in 1850" he continued.
Lesser OF Two Evils
while we did not particularly
like Sen. Johnston in 1850, we
voted for him because he was the
lesser Of two evils" McCray said.

kindness and goodwill.
Santa has something for every
one. In these days and times in
our nation there are very few per-
sons who are forgotten on Christ
mas Day.
Thanks to many fine organiza-
tons, small and large, there are
few men, women or children who
on Christmas do not have some
form of cheer, given in the name
of Man born in Nazareth.
OF all Of the holiday festivals
Christmas is the one most loved by
the children of all ages. If the
truth be told vast numbers of
adults too, never grow up so old
and tall that they do not also love
Christmas.
Christmas In our Minnesota,
with its wintry snow and some
times cold breezes Cblasts) is the
ideal climate for the festival.
The snow is just right for
Santa's sleigh and reindeers. There
has been some attempt in recent
years by slick ad-men to make all
believe Mr.. Claus has discarded
the sleigh and the reindeers for
automated transportation like that
manufactured by Ford, General
Motors, American Motors and the
Chrysler Corp, but don't you be-
Heve it-there is nothing more rap
i'd even in this Space Age than San
ta's Dasher, Dunder and Bitten,
Dancer, Prancer, Comet, Cupid and
Vixen, his hearty, trusty, reindeers,
who were flying through the air,
with the greatest of ease long be-
fore the gasoline engine was per-
fected!
And too, Santa was ringing the
world in "a hours long before we
had developed the space rocket
system. 1t seems to us that the
space engineers and scientists
probably got their basic idea from
the ease with which Santa Claus
and his North Pole transportation
whisked system in a few hours
from one part Of the world to
another, leaving toys and goodies
in countless stockings all over
Gods world!
We have a notion that while
Santa is certainly a non-partisan
figure he usually smiles with real
fondness at the people who inhabit

sooner or later. And no matter
how long it takes-reading Of a
card from a friend or friends al
ways leaves a warm glow. What's
better than giving some individual
or family a warm glow of friend
ship, represented in a Christmas
card, no matter how simple in de-
sign? We think Christmas cards
are something glorious, which re-
minds us IL days before Christmas
we haven't even started address
ing ours.
Christmas time is also a good
time to count our blessings. It's
a good time to consider that no
matter how bad off we think we
are, there are others whose condi-
ton, financially, physically and
spiritually is more difficult than
ours.
Years ago in times Of personal
Illustration and encouragement
we used to recharge our spirit
by remembering a quotation we
read first under the glass top Of
the desk of our good friend
Charles L. Horn. The inscrip-
ton read: 81 complained be-
cause had no shoes, until 1
saw a man who had no feet"
Whenever we begin to feel dis
consolate or dissatisfied we think
about that inscription. It is one
which can be used at this Christ
mas time Of the year also with
the joy of the season. Life is going
to keep moving along with the u.s.
ual share of disappointments, hu-
man disasters and the common
total Of depressing things that just
don't stop because of Christmas.
The best we can do is to try to
live and be in the jolly tradition
Of Old st. Nicholas, the jolly old
soul, whose cherubic countenance
cheers the cookies Of all hearts
as he spreads his bountiful self
throuout a world in which mans
imperfections has often made a
place Of dread existence.
The Christmas festival nurtured
by the believers in Christ is a beau
tiful human experience. Let us
hope that the Christmas Of 1868
will add to prior human experien-
ces of infinite Joy, and that it will
herald a year of peace on earth
goodwill to men never before
seen on this earth.
