PhiIIY Ministers
CaII For Boycott
Of A. &P. Stores

Philadelphia (ANP) - A group
of Negro ministers from over 400
churches in the Philadelphia area
has called 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 S 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 250 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 spokesman said the
boycott has proved successful "in
every instance"

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 (blasts) 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
id 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

McCray formerly operated his
own newspaper but was forced out
of business because of his militant
civil rights stands, said:
THE Democratic party itself
should be as we'll organized as we
are"
But don't think the Negro vote
can be delivered in a bloc. I wish
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
state don't think like the national
COP of 20 years ago"
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 a 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
alton for federal government jobs
and a just share Of the patron
age"
McCray said 1T 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

a 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

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
1t 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.

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
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 discouragement
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 1 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. 1t 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 dlsappointments, 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
imperfectons 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.

this part of the wrold.
Maybe this is no time to be
claiming for our city, state and
nation any favoritism by the
worlds best goodwill ambassador,
but we have always had the sneak
ing suspicion that Santa thinks we
Americans are pretty close to be-
ing almost perfect human beings.
Take one of our attributes-our
generosity, for example. No nation
of people who ever lived. on the
globe are as generous as Amer
leans. There are evidences Of this
great generosity found in every
part of the earth.
This is a quality that Santa
must like in us, and it is a Christ
like quality, because above all,
Jesus of Nazareth gave generous
ly of himself his life in be-
half OF the people.
When Santa on his annual
tour looks down at the so states
Of this country, he must chucIIle
and observe with appreciation
that their inhabitants "are the
givingest people In all Of Gods
creation"
The us. can be classed with the
individual who gives Christmas
presents for the love of giving, and
people happy. No other
nation has so many, so interested
in the masses Of the earth at
home and abroad.
There is a school of thought to-
day which feels that the religious
festival of Christmas has become
far too commercialized This point
of view has some merit, but we
don't feel that it is completely
correct. However we feel that this
point of view should be considered
and the facts examined, because
many sincere people feel that the
festival has been exploited by COM
interests to such a degree
that the reason for and real mean
ing of the festival are obscured.
We can only say that In the
complex modern society in which
we live, 1t Is necessary to recog-
nize that every facet of life Is
keyed to conditions as they exist
even Christmas. In tOday's life
the best things have to be sold
to most Of us.
We were one of those who used
to shudder because Christmas dec
orations and department stores
windows displaying Christmas toys
were lighted the day after Thanks
giving, that is, until we recognized
that days are required to get all
the children who want to look with
happy stares into the toy windows
at our department stores, a chance
to glimpse the display wonders.
Later we recognized also that
the complexities Of modern living,
with its obvious demands on the
of the individual - a
Christmas holiday, even If rerg-
ious based has to be promoted and
not only for commercial
gain but for the fullness Of the
seasons enjoyment.
We remember that as a boy we
were confused because there ap-
peared a pre-Christmas Santa
Claus on every downtown street
corner. We were not convinced
when our nice Mother explained
that these extra Salvation Army
or Volunteers Of America Santas
were just helpers of the depart
ment store. Santa who had shook
our hand patted our head, and
asked us what we wanted
for Christmas.
Gee" we used to say. there's
just too many Santas, Nom, we
don't understand it." Another pat
on the head and anticipation Of
what awaited us on Christmas
morn usually dissapated our fears
and concerns.
We like Christmas cards. Some
times it takes US weeks to read
them all, but we get around to it

Early Success

burgh to earn the money to
go to Paris
When she got to Paris and
found the art school" to
which she'd applied was "a
dump" she enrolled in the
Beaux Arts and took part
time jobs to support herself.
When she enrolled in the
Beaux Arts, her interior dec
Grating stint led her inter-
estS toward the decorative
arts course and she soon
found herself engroSsed in
the study of stained glass.
Ancient Art
The opportunity to see ex-
amples of the ancient art at
first hand in centurieS-old
cathedrals like Chartres and
Notre Dame whetted her in
terest. Her respect was
deepened by the French re-
gard that this is such an art
that there is a definite de-
vision of work in its execu-
ton. The artist conceives
the design, but in the French
view it would be aeSthetically
uniting that he would also
do the artisans work of fit
ting, leading and soldering
the pieces together. "aS we
do in America" Mrs. New
come observed.
In her book, however, Mrs.
Newcome does take account
of the American view" for
she devoteS the final chapter
TO do-it-yourself readers who
might like to have the fun
Of making their own stained
glass windows" from mex
pensive art materials. For the
more venturesome, she even
outlines how they may go
about making the real thing.
Another section of the book
contains generous material
about the stained glass win
dows in some of the we'll
known cathedrals of the
world including the WASH
ington Cathedral here and
the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine in New York City.
Mrs. Newcome hopes her
book may fill a need, for she
says Ito my knowledge, there
are not many books on
stained glass windows. I
found there was not much
material available. Most of it
I obtained from my class
lectures and from pamphlets
distributed by the cathedrals
themselves"
Right now, she's at work
on a new book, this one on
church architecture. Maybe
the title choice will be in
spired from the text as was
her present book, Singing
Windows"
AS she closes it. she OBJ
serves that even with new
techniques, "in this new era
of stained glass, windows still
sing Of the glory Of God and
the works of man."

Success has come quickly
to a 25-year-old Maryland
houSewife-in five years time
she has become an author
and illustrator as well as wife
and mother.
Professionally. she uses her
maiden name, Mary Young.
which appeared earlier this
month on the cover of her
first published book, Singing
Windows" the story of
stained glass in words and
Illustrations.
In private life she is the
wife of Capt. David A. New
come, science and physical
education instructor at Char
lotte Hall Military Academy
in Southern Maryland, and
the mother of their year-old
daughter Betsy.
Stained-glaSS windows and
a desire to study art in Paris
tie together this unusual sue
cess story, for Mrs. Newcome
got her book contract while
she was studying about
stained glass in Paris. She
met her future husband a
short time later when she
took a job as arts and crafts
director at an Army service
club in La Rochelle in South
ern France. He was an assist
ant field director for the
American National Red Cross.
After they were married in
La Rochelle. they came back
to the StateS-he to find a
teaching job, and she to
await their expected child
and get the book in shape for
the publishers.
Hectic
Things were a little hectic
around here for WHILE" she
recalled with a laugh. Betsy
was born last March. and I
got the manuscript to the
publishers in April. The illus
trationS came later-around
July"
Success seems to have
come easily to Mary Young
Newcome, but that Is only
half the story. Behind it lies
vision, a sense Of accom-
pliShment, courage and en-
terpriSe.
AS a senior at Wilson Col
lege in Chambersburg, Pa,
she went out to find a job
in her spring vacation in
stead of waiting until after
June graduation.
At that, she made the
rounds of New York publish
ing houses without benefit of
agent. and got a bid from one
the Abingdon Press to il
lustrate a children's book of
stories, Treasured Tales"
After that, she thought
France the best place in Eu-
rope to finish out her art
training. so she took a job as
a department store interior
decorator in her native Pitts
