[ Jem- Ctqe, tfkcdieA, \ By Dorothy Green Greetings Gates: What cooks with you? Despite the snow there was a large turn out of teen-agers at the concert of the Pilgrim Baptist Church Junior Choir. Question of the week was sent in by Mary Bass. What do you think of going steady? Freddie Powell—Great if your boy friend doesn’t live out of town. Phyllis Holcomb—O.K., but I never thought about it. (Now, Pete.) Bobby Graham—It’s all right, if a delicious pineapple—get what I mean? (I wonder who he means?) Ruby Harper—Great if the guy doesn’t run on the railroad. Lois Hatcher—It can go back where it came from. Loretta McWilliams—The fool that docs will suffa-suffa-suffa. (Speaking from experience, Lor etta?) A group of girls gave a get-to gether party Saturday evening. There were many guests invited. Refreshments were served and everyone had a nice time (I hope). Incidentally, the girls are: Suzzie Mae Whitehall, Dorothy Green, Ruby Harper, Lois Hatcher and Loretta MacWilliams. Elbert “Junior” Starkes has a number of engagements to sing in the coming months. We wish him much sucess. Watch for the pictures of the boy and girl of the month. Bye now, Dottie. Send A Card By Basilia Bell. Have you ever been sick and confined to your bed? Have you laid in your bed feeling all alone, looking at the four walls and thinking? And what about? Oh, I feel so alone. Then a little card came and how much better you felt to know that someone was thinking of you enough to take time and send a card. Someone who was so busy they could not come. Then someone came. He, too, was busy but took time. Some one sent flowers, a good book or even the newspaper. So today let us pledge ourselves to do a bit of missionary work. For to do for the least of these little ones you do it unto God. He said, “I was sick and you visited me not.” Let us form a little card club; pledging ourselves to send cards, visit and to cheer up the sick. As you read in the sick column, send a card. I am not asking you to promise us but make a promise with your self and God to do a little for Him. Send in to me the names of all who are ill or bereaved and let us all say, “I will have a share in that blessing for of a truth you will be blessed.” Wilson-Tarpley Wedding The wedding of McKinley Tarp ley, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Mc Kinley Tarpley, Sr., to Imogene Wilson, daughter of Mrs. Mary Duncan of Denver, Colorado, took place Monday, November 10, at the home of the groom’s parents in the presence of fifty guests.

Segregation in Atlanta Banned on Freedom Train ATLANTA. (ANP.) Mayor Wil liam B. Hartsfield declared last week that there will be no racial segregation in the Freedom Train exhibition to be held here Jan. 2. Following a statement from the American Heritage foundation which ordered the train to avoid Memphis because its city officials insisted on segregation, Mayor Hartsfield commented: “In Atlanta the Freedom Train will be open at all times to all persons regardless of race or creed. “The exhibits on the Freedom Train are those priceless docu ments guaranteeing the basic free doms of the American people. I do not see how anybody can draw a color line through freedom and justice. “So far as I am concerned, I am willing to stand beside any Amer ican citizen, regardless of race or creed, in mutual admiration and respect for those great historical charters of American freedom.” The mayor already had appoint ed Negroes to a committee of citi zens who will implement the prop er significance during the Free dom week celebration.
