• * May God grant to each and every reader of this
column a world firmly and finally at peace and a
groundswell of joy and prosperity in the coming yeur
-- and ever after.
Few of us, however, will begin our 1964 as auspi
ciously as Jimmie Hoskins of Peerless Liquor Co. and
his spouse. They rang out the old year with their own
brand new diapered darling, a chubby lass of 7 pounds
11 ounces named Wendy. (And for those of you who
note such things, the hour of her arrival, was
,
3:07 p.m.)
The ever popular Jackie Wilson celebrated the
opening of his recent rave revue at the Apollo Theater
with a real gone blowout at the Baby Grand where
his many friends and adrryrers toasted his rfeturn with
sparkling champagne.

Our Party Left ’Em Buzzing
• Speaking of blowouts, they’re still buzzing over the
one Doc Powell tossed for the staff and friends at
Club La Chose. It was a swell party and Joe and Dan
Merenda, the genial proprietors of one of Harlem’s
finest dining-out/spots, scored a real success with their
imaginative location of Santa’s gift-laden sleigh and
the piped carols In the Flash Inn.
Another success story that gladdens our heart as
the yule season draws to a close stems from the un
selfish efforts of Cynthia Edmead, Linette Phillips, Hil
da McDonald and Selbra Hayes. As you know, these
tavern owners collected funds and gifts for distribu
tion to needy families.
The operation went off without a hitch and ex
ceeded optimistic expectations. And Christmas was a
little brighter for some poor people.
Too much can never be said in praise of the won
derful folks who give uastintingly of their time in sup-
pOr€of our ctmp Fund charity. The girls on our com-
iritftee, all of whom work a full day and then come out
to devote half a night without compensation are, I
think, perfect examples all year round of what this
grqnd season truly represents. So let me say again to
each of them from all of us, we love you dearly:
Patricia, Sophia, Millie, Elaine, Dottie, Marguerite,
Frieda and my Clarice (and never forget our wonder
ful emcee, Phil Gordon).

The first Camp Fund Get-together of the New
Year will be. i|pld on Monday night, Jan. 4, at Fannye
Pierre’s Dawn Cafe where Frieda Harris will be on
hand to welcome you. See you then, pals.
Make It Grow
Again this year, taxpayers may
take Federal income tax refunds
in U. S. Savings Bonds. It’s a
good way to make your refund
grow.
