Our next Camp Fund affair will be held at Lin-
nette’s Lounge, 714 St. Nicholas Avenue, on Monday,
April 8. Guest hostess for the evening will be Frieda
Harris of the Fantasia Cafe.
The operation of the Monday Night Camp Fund
affairs has been one of the major ways used to com
bat juvenile delinquency in our community. The
liquor industry has cooperated with us during our 14
years, which has greatly helped to develop our or
ganization. They have not only indicated their co
operation and support in tangible ways, but have
been willing to voluntarily assist with constructive
advice and suggestions.
Although business is generally off, not all the
tavern owners and purveyors are hanging themselves
with their own silken ropes, as reported elsewhere.
Last week Joe Weils’ opening of his new supper club
show had a turn-away crowd. I’ve been told it’s one
of the most costly shows in the history of his place.
Another new supper club that has been catching
on with the late crowd is the Gold Brick Inn, located
at 157th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
The Cliff Duke Quintet will occupy the band
stand at the Palm Cafe for the Easter holiday.
The 29th Annual Dinner of the National Im
porters Association of Alcoholic Beverages, held in
the Plaza Hotel, Thursday night, was a delightful
affair. I, and severaf other newspaper and magazine
representatives, were the guests of Cutty Sark Scotch.
To name a few: Charles Becker, Metro Sales
Manager, Cutty Sark Scotch; Wiliam F. Gallagan,
Jr., V.P., Buckingham Corporation; L. B. Garbin’
Maxon Advertising Agency; Lou Gold, Daily News;
Samuel Kelson, New York Post; James McAllister,

Ammons Guilty
CHICAGO — Gene Ammons,
37-year-old jazz saxophonist was
found guilty Monday in Criminal
court of selling and possessing
narcotics.
Under the regulations, govertt-
ment officials claim that by def
inition grain neutral spirits can't
be improved. Calvert asserts that
these specially distilled spirits
have a distinctive taste and aro
ma derived from an original dis
tilling process.
Storing these for at least four
years in specially selected wood
casks formerly used for aging
Calvert’s fine straight whiskeys,
imparts a roundness and softness
hitherto unknown in whiskey mak
ing. Combined with fine straight
whiskeys, the company affirmed,
they produce a unique alcoholic
beverage with a superb character
all its own.
•’Soft” whiskey, the first new
American whiskey in a century
and this country’s answer to the
rapid growth of foreign imports
was introduced in the Greater
New York area_thi& week. Inaug
urating the new beverage concept
here, Calvert Extra was unveiled
as a Unique Wend of 50 fine
straight whiskeys and a new In
gredient, aged grain neutral spir
its. It will be available April 1 in
New York State, New Jersey
and Connecticut.
’’We’ have proved that Ameri
can know-how can produce a
quality distilled beverage with
the drama and excitement of the
imports.” declared Edgar M.
Bronfman, Calvert president. He
said that the new whiskey would
appeal to the Greater New York
area, the nation’s trend setter,
which is highly partial toward
lighter taste in beverages. It was
the acceptance of New Yorkers
that opened the door for many
popular light imports in the U.S.
Aged spirits, used for the first
time in an American whiskey,
have taken the hardness out of
I hard liquor, revealed Mr. Bronf
man. He said that Calvert Extra
| possessed a clean, delicate, soft
taste lasting to the final sip of a
highball.
Bring Suit
In attempting to label its new
whiskey fully and accurately,
Calvert has had to bring suit
against the U.S. Treasury Depart
ment Charging improper federal
restraint, the company is asking
I the courts to rule on government
i regulations limiting labelling ref-
lerence to spirits stored in wood.
