At its most recent meeting,
Gamma Chapter of Guys and
Dolls, Inc. (Winston-Salem)
voted, to contribute $100 to
Start the national body's
Scholarship Fund which was.
adopted by the Executive
Board and approved by the
various chapters.
The local chapter also voted
to support the Black Panther's
Free Ambulance Service by
contributing gas for a limited
nprinH nf timp. thrmioh nne of
Gamma chapter's members,
Guy James Shaw. The
ambulance service has not
been getting the financial
support needed recently, so
the chapter felt strongly about
doing something about it.
The chapter sandwiched the
business with children and
adults enjoying its Christmas
party at the Hilton Inn. Along
with the good food, all the
youths wej-e presented gifts.
The group listened to recorded
music and sang carols.

Perhaps because things cost
more and the sale of fewei
items brought more money.
One shopper said she
"bought fewer, and less
