Vacation over, period ... back on the Harlem beat,
but it’s good to be back after a month of doing no
thing. I shudder as I think of those beautiful and quiet
days lolling in the country. Oh! 1 did play hookey away
from the night clubs and taverns but 1 did stay in
«t«wn long enough to play host to a group of friends at
tlie annual banquet and baseball game.
As usual, we had a wonderful time. It’s difficult
to crowd into this space some of the interesting things
we enjoyed while on vacation — but I must make men
tion that I regret not being able to see Mr. Wonderful
(Sammy Davis) when he appeared in the Club Har
lem show. It was so sensational that many people
couldn’t get in during most performances.

VACATION BRIEFS
P* Louise Speller celebrated her birthday in the Dawn
flCafe, and Hilda MacDonald celebrated her birthday
jjwith an all-day-and-night buffet in the Bird Cage. The
la 1 ways neat Midway Lounge had their gala 5-year an
niversary celebration.
When we returned, we were glad to receive the
^encouraging news that Rose Yuen’s father was much
Tbetter. The sad note we received was the death of
Ih* popular Emilio Toyos, proprietor of the Madrid
It was good to see Bill Lantz of Frank’s Restaurant
btck from a three-month sojourn in Greece. He look
ed well rested and said he had a most enjoyable time.
Best news was the appointment of Chuck Williams
jjfca vice president of Schenley Distillers Co. i
Kenneth Moses’ comment re the appointment: “In
of the high standards of application and creative
laelling ability, no one could be more deserving of this
^cognition.” Coming from Ken Moses, who started
$th Chuck Williams in 1951 for Schenley, it is doubly
recognized. This is more than a “first”. This is a man
.Who, irrespective of ethnic identity, is well prepared
historically to do the job.

Martin’s is the first major
Scotch whisky to break the age
barrier since World War n. Be
fore 1939, almost all major scotch
es had some claim to age. But
with the shortage of aged stocks
caused by the war and the trem
endous upsurge in Scotch popul
arity after the war, distillers have
been unable to "lay down" their
whisky tor 8 years.
"It is a well-known fact," said
Mr. Bertrand, "that Scotch im
proves with age. That’s why aged
Scotch was so popular before the
war. Extra maturing brings Mar

mellowness—is- what makes a
Scotch truly light in taste."
