came to his house Nov. 1 and
told him he had a goal deal on
some coal. The man, apparently
feeling warm-hearted,
offered to let Walker in on his
good fortune.

Walker told the cool talking
coal man that he would Jake
two tons of the coal and
agreed to pay the man $72.
This was only the down
payment. The rest was
supposed to be paid upon
receipt of the shipment on
Nov. 5.
The report indicated that
the man told Walker he
worked for Southern Oil and

Hundreds of folk lined the
streets last Saturdav in
down-town Winston-Salem to
witness the annual Winston- r
Salem State University Homecoming
Parade.
However with all of the
beautiful queens and high
stepping majorettes, perhaps
the <4thieves"of the parade
were the members of Moe
Lucas' Patterson Avenue
YMCA Drill Team, There is no
doubt but ?hat they "stole" the
show.

The youngsters displayed a" precision
of drill that seems
incredible for boys of their
ages. They dipped and bowed
and stomped their feet with a
rhythm much like that of
professional dancers.
