Fixing Up The
House
Here are some tips from the
experts on how to overcome
some common problems which
frequently face the average
homeowner. You may want to
keep these ideas handy for
future reference.
Insert
1 hooks
into the side
of a wooden
step lad.
der Use the
hooks for
banging
needed tools, wipe cloths, etc.
Jar lids nailed to the top
of the ladder will hold nails,
screws and the like.
Use old nylons to strain
lumps from paint . . . When
a paint job is finished, mark a
stripe around the outside of
the can at the level of the re
maining paint. Later, you can
toll how much paint left in
the can and its color.
Rub chalk on the tip of a
screwdriver before inserting it
into a screw and the screw
driver won't slip ... A flexible
piece of BX cable can be used
in place of a plumber s helper
to open clogged drains.
No More Squeaks
When repairing or replac
ing stairs, drive nails in at an
angle. The nails will hold
better and allow less chance
for squeaks to develop . . . If
squeaks develop in floors, try
pouring light oil or talcum
powder between the boards.
To unstick a sticking door,
apply pressure to open it only
at the spot where it'r sticking.
Forcing other parts may
strain the frame . . . When
fixup jobs require a "level",
and vou don't have one, a
glass
with
stitui
Always let plaster age a
weeks before painting over it
Fill well washed nail-pol
ish or shoe polish bottles with
each color paint you are using
and label them. When walls
become scratched, they can
be easily touched up using the
small bottles and applicators.
A non-abrasive aerosol
foam cleaner is excellent for
cleaning fiberglass, porcelain
orous sur
feit's called
a bathroom
cleaner", the
foam works
wonders in
the kitchen
and else
where. It's
great for
cleaning fib
erglass boats and water skis
anytime and especially be
fore storage.
Unlike abrasives such as
steel wool and powder clean
ers that can dull and mar fini
shes, the foam cleaner devel
oped by reseachers at the
Dow Chemical Company-
lifts and removes soil easily
and without surface damage.
It also sanitizes as it cleans.
Safety Tricks With Hose
Use a rubber hose slit down
the middle to protect a saw
blade when not in use ... A
couple of slit pieces of hose
also make good g rippers when
you have to carry a piece of
plate glass.
To locate wall studs, tie a
magnet to a string and swing
the string back and forth close
to the wall. The magnet will
stop at the lath nails.

TIPS ON TAMING THE TENDER GENDER
. "Every woman is a sci

you'll discover her and your
self. Do your own thing...
get away from the crowd...
march to a distant drum...

motorcycle. Dare to be dif

Taming the tender gender
takes showmanship, and here
are several winning ways:
1. Say the right thing.
Telling her she's beautiful
isn't always the right ap
proach. The real beauty
knows how she looks, and the
homely one will know that
you're lying. Both should
be complimented on their
intellect, ( .- . . ,.., jtajC

take her along and show her
how to do your thing. She'll
be delighted that you prefer
her company to that of a
gang of guys. Putting you
on the right road, your key
to a Kawasaki motorcycle
can also be the key to success
in wooing and winning your
woman. Anyhow, this year's
Kawasaki motorcycles-any
one of them a very popular
appeal-projector -- are made
for two-you and her. So
take her along even to your
local Kawasaki dealer.

NEW YORK (ED) Why
is it that pride in one's home
so frequently stops just short
of the mailbox?
We've all seen a rusting or
paint-peeled box atilt on a sag
ging rotted post at the road
side when just beyond there
is a bright, attractiye home
with carefully groomed
grounds. Just as often, you Sec
a dilapidated box alongside
someone's freshly painted front
door.
Why? Well, architects and
landscape experts put the
blame on the boxes' primary
feature of utility. Because
mailboxes are essential, people
buy them and use them for
ever, forgetting how down-and-out
they sometimes look. A
mailbox is seldom considered
as the distinctive item it is
closely related to a home's ap
pearance, located right up
front where it is seen and used
every day.
Ron Britt, consumer prod
ucts manager of Leigh Prod
ucts, Inc., agrees with these
experts. Leigh is a leading
manufacturer of mailboxes,
and has just introduced the
"Mail Guard", which Britt be
lieves "will once and for all
convert homeowners' regard
for a mailbox as just a recep
tacle for bills and junk mail,
to recognition of its impor
tance as a decorative feature
of the home."
Mail Guard offers, in addi
tion to its attractive contem
porary styling in permanent
woodgrain or all-black finish,
the advantage of complete
mail security. It is the first
distinctive residential box that
is constructed with mail secur
ity in mind. Not only does the

Saxon and Jim Kelley.
Ivan Dixon's "The Spook Who Sat By The Door" looks like

The next NAACP Image
Awards program set for
January 19, 1974 at the
Hollywood Palladium, will be
bigger and better than ever
before, and will probably be
televised nationally.
That was the prediction
made this week by Bill Lane,
president of the Beverly
Hills-Hollywood branch of the
national civil rights
organization.
The entertainment-oriented
branch initiated the annual
Image Awards program which
makes awards to those in show
business who have contributed
notably to the artistic and
economic uplift of black
minorities.
"Not only will the program
be bigger and better," Lane
added, "it will project awards
of unquestioned merit and
meaning. And we are currently
neirot latins to have the
program aired over network
television."
To implement the "new
image" in Image Awards the
Hollywood branch has
appointed a blue-ribbon
production staff "to construct
a program that will make the
whole nation proud."
Chairman of the Image
Awards Committee is Bob
Jones, Manager of Public
Relations of Motown Record
Corporation. Co-producers are
television producer Lin
Hllbum, director of minority
affairs of Golden West
Broadcasters, and LeRoy
Robinson, writer-producer of
television's "Black Omnibus"
and the feature motion picture
"StatMilM."
Executive producers are Joe
R. Hartsfleld and Edgar
Charles. Hartsfleld is head of
Chocolate Chip Productions,
the black-financed firm filming
"Tho House on Skull
Mountain" and "Stagolee."
For several years Hartsfleld was
publicity chief on the CBS-TV
"Gunsmoke" series. Charles is
a television director.
Truman Jacques, a longtime
TV talk-show host, is a
production assistant. Lillian
Cumber, theatrical agent, was
named talent coordinator.
Other members of the working
production staff are to be
named by Hilburn and
Robinson. Honorary chairmen
of the show will be named
shorty by Bob Jones.
Directors for the Palladium
nrocram named by Lane were
Bene Greene, tickets and
seating; Roscoe Williams,
trophies; Atty. Geraldine
Green, leeal; Bennie Liggins,
budget; Inez Douglas,
hostesses: Maeeie Hathaway,

Brown, who is considered a
pioneer by bringing the Black
perspective to television was
recently chosen by Ebony
magazine as one of the "100
Most Influenzal Black
Americans." Ebony editors
annually select 100 men and
women "whose positions affect
a sizable number of Blacks,
either by commanding a
widespread national influence
among Blacks," unusually
influencing white pobcies and
practices significant, for Blacks,
or affecting "the lives, thinking
and actions" of Blacks.
A recipient of the 1972

William L. Gaddis has
produced a special 90-minule
documentary on classical Black
composers and their
contribution of contemporary
music The program, entitled
"The Black Composers," will
air over the Public
Broadcasting Service Ofl
Saturday, October 13 at 8:30
p.m. (In New York City, the
program will air on WNBT13
at the same time.)
"I was moved to tears and
choked with pride and 1 cried
because in all of my years
throughout high school, college
and classical music
appreciation in Europe, no one
ever told me there were blacks
who rivaled Stravinsky,
Cooeland. and Ravel in
composing serious music," says
35-year old Gaddis.
Stephen Chambers, Ulysses
Kay, William Grant Still and
George Walker are the black
artists featured in the program
and the Dallas Symphony
Orchestra under the direction
of assistant conductor Paul
Freeman and the Bishop
College Choir of Dallas
perform.
In each of the program's
four segments, a performance
of the composer's work will be
followed by his comments on
the achievements and problems
of the black composer.
George Walker charges that,
in general, the major
symphony orchestras have
failed to consider the value of
music composed by DiacKs.
William Grant Still, who at 79,
is probably the dean of black
composers, comments on what
constitutes black music and
notes which well-known
conductors have and have not
encouraged black composers to
develop their music.
Gaddis states that although
there are more than 3,000
black composers of symphonic
and chamber music active in
their profession today "they are
little known to most
Americans." Through the
program, he hopes people will
learn that "black music does
not solely consist of blues and
jazz."
Performances in the special
include: "Sound Images" by
Stephen Chambers
"Marketing- A Tribute to Day
Hammarskjold" by Ulysses
Kay; "Danza de Panama " from
William Grant Still's
"Afro-American Symphony";
and "Pasacaglia by George
Walker, from Iw "Address for
Orchestra."

INTRODUCING
NEWS IN
THE MOTHER
TONO I
For Black people, the mother tongue is the
same all over the country. It's the unique
way we have of expressing ourselves.
That's one of the reasons the National
Black Network saw the need for a
national Black news service.
What do we call Black news? It's simply
news reported by Black people, edited
by Black people, and affecting the lives of
Black people..
That 's the National Black Network-a vital
communications link between Black
communities everywhere.
It's abefthat when you listen to an NBN
station, you'll know where it's coming from.
After all, it's carrying your news.

Fifth, if you contract any

workmen's compensation
benefits, although the benefits
vary widely among the states.
In the other seven states there
is limited occupational disease

So, when you are listing

workmen's compensation
coverage just because you
don't pay the bill. It could be
the biggest dollar asset you

I've become more and more concerned lately about
a situation that could become quire serious, unless
all stop and think a minute.
1 1 seems to me thar, in the minds ot many Blacks
todav, Bin Business has come to mean somewhat
the same as Big Daddy.
Kspeciallv, if a company has Blacks m key
positions.
Big Daddy. Someone ro ask tor help. And ex
pect it.
Well, this can't always be the way it happens.
Just as Big Daddy doesn't always have all the
answers, neither can Big Business be expected to.
Most certainly, many large corporations have
come a long, long way, recgnizing the problems ot
minority groups. Others have a long way to go.
Bur many are acting "in a responsive, responsible
manner. Ami a lot has been accomplished. Amtmg
other things, we're seeing more Blacks being places!
in decision-making positions.
But there is no ime ct rporation or Black execu
tive who can handle, solve. tr deckle on all the
problems that beset Black people ttnlay.
Many of these problems, we must think out and
begin to solve for ourselv es. It isn't easy, of course.
But, as we work things oast for ourselves -as we
help ourselves as realistically as we can, we'll all
discover something important.
We'll find that others are standing by- ready to
help- as realistically as t hey can.
