ta an even greater extent, per
haps. than the industrial revo

If we spent many -week-end*
with Hank’s mother and dad down
on the farm, I’m afraid I’d eat
myself right out of a modeling
career. Hank’s mother is a better
cook than I can ever hope to be.
We started the day with big
dishes of strawberries and then
hot cinnamon roils with ham and
eggs, “You shouldn’t have gotten
up early to make these roTl*," I
protested, helping myself to a
third,
“Goodness, child, I didn’t,”
Hank’s mother replied, “I baked
them weeks ago and just took
them out of the freezer this morn
ing—along with the strawberries,”
After breakfast, she showed me
her pride and joy, a big RCA

freezer. It was

with fried chicken.
Well, Hank polished off four
ears of corn in no time and de
clared he never knew frozen corn
i could taste so fresh. So then it

Radio TV Commentary
BY RAKER E. MORTEN l or ANP
KING COIE SPARKLES
I A new- 30-minute time segment
j was allotted the Nat “Kir,-; Cole
! TV show last week in a format
j that, featured singer Frankie Laine
| as guest sr.sr and found Cole in
; the same wonderful taste that he
has exemplified since his emerg
ence on TV with his own show
back in the fall of last year.
The new time gave more of
Cole to the national audience
and presents a parallel op
portunity for him to unveil
much undiscovered Negro tal
ent currently laying In waste
due to z.iy number of reasons.
Cole’s first 30-minute show was
live, sprightly and generally well
rounded, Injected with musical
comedy and mirth, it captivatead
this corner completely.
However, with the Intermit
tent breaks in the show', where
usually i sponsor conies In, %
there was none. This has been
the. case throughout Cole’s TV
career despite the fact that he
commands a rating that could
be the ei vy of many other TV
performers in the business
long before Cole.
The entire show is an NBC pre
sentation with no sponsors, which
serves to lessen the profits of one
of the country's greatest enter
tainers. This, of course, is because
Mr. Cole is a Negro and sponsors,
with a fearful eye on the South,
hesitate 1o back his program fecl
| mg they would lose Southern busi
ness.
Thus, the race issue enters Into
a business where talent and ability
should only count. And thus too,
does a great American showman
suffer a loss because he cannot
get sponsors. This is how it stands
jn America today. <

Although he operated out of
the left halfback position in 1956,
Coach Sid GiUman’s present plans
are to experiment with Wilson at

for the loss of Joe Marconi to the

I do not choose to argue ihe
sponsors' point of view, for their
hesitancy and fear to back this
great entertainer is their loss, not
mine. But i would venture to say
that whoever will eventually spon
sor Cole stands to have a green
lined cash register from the poc
kets of a Negro buying power that
now exceeds the total import trade
of Canada,
At the same time, very little
of the southern market would
be lost, because thank God a!:
Southerners are not so blind
to democracy that they would
inject petty prejudices a
gainst a sponsor for presenting
to them the best in entertain
ment. The minority of South
erners that would boycott a
sponsor’s products on Cole’s ae
count wouldn't ordinarily buy
them anyway.
Then, as I have pointed out in
earlier columns, the utility com- j
panics, who can well boast, mono- ;
polios, in many instances, have no
thing to lose in sponsoring the
Cole show and at hte same time
can be instrumental in living the
democracy that we in America
preach.
There are any number of u
tiiity companies that could
back the show. Including the
telephone company and the i
light, and gas outfits.
Anyone so rare-conscious a*
to have Ids light and gas or
telephone service discontinued
In protest of a Negro artist,
doesn't deserve the utilities a
nyway.
NBC official* deserve congratu
lations for their progressive efforts
in staging the (Hole show under

than that an artist of Cole’s cali
bre merits the top sponsors in the |

of the needs of secondary edn
