Not so this year. Everybody was over on Bedford Avenue watching Paramount Pictures recreate a Memorial Day parade of the 1950's for the film, "The Education of Sonny Carson." now shooting in the borough. Crowds lined the sidewalk and also joined in the enthusiasm of the parade. There are now seven Black-oriented movies in the "50-Top Grossing Films" as listed by Variety, the top trade publication. "Save the Children" leads, making it its first week on the chart. Following are "Hit," "Detroit 9000", "Gordon's War", "Cleopatra Jones", "The Spook Who Sat By The Door", and "The Slams".

Some feeling for the tremendous size of America's hew Space Shuttle, now under development by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, can be had from this new mock-up on exhibit here at the Alabama Space-and Rocket Center. Towering over one of the Center's pretty visitors, the huge display represents only a small portion (see inset) of one of the Shuttle's two giant solid rocket boosters. The Shuttle will be as tall as a 20 story building. This mock-up, as big as it is, stands about as high as a two story building. When developed, the Space Shuttle's big solid rockets will provide more than six million pounds of thrust to lift the 2,000-ton vehicle from the launch pad.

MUSIE VIEWS AND by STEVIE WQNDER-FUL Among the more impor tant reasons to celebrate (his month is "Innervisions," the 14th and possibly finest al bum to emanate from Stevie Wonder, whom many con sider the single most creative individual active in the music world today. Beyond being Wonder-ful, "Innervisions" is a sure-fire bet to be on every body's Ten Best list for '73. It's been 11 years since; Stevie came into hearing dis tance with "Fingertips," and every single and album since has signaled progress, musical exploration and discovery, the soulful riches of a singu lar artist. Here, again, Stevie has written, arranged and performed all the songs and produced the album. Truly, a man and his music. And, "Innervisions" (Tairt la T326L) is a treasure of individual songs, such as a glorious "Golden Lady"; a re markable ballad, "Visions"; the telling "Living in the City"; and the funky "Higher Ground," the single release, which talks about people moving ahead in love and in life. Hail, Stevie Wonder, 22 and aging With a taste that blesses only the richest vin tage wines. NOTE(S)WORTHY The Motown music factory has generated another stork pile of LPleasure in addition to Stevie, including Diana Ross "Touch Me in the Morning" album (Motown M772L). It contains (of course!) the single by that title, which raced to Number 1 on the best-seller charts and Gold Record status as quick as its beautiful production could get there faster than fast! Diana can do no wrong.

Her name was Bessie Srriith. And she was famous for a song called "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out." That was a long time back. And yet, today, you can still hear it echoing in many Black commun ities, and from Black organizations. You can hear the rip off against Blacks who have achieved some measure of success. Downing the achievers who, if you believe it, have turned their backs on their Black brothers and sisters. Well, I wonder just how many of those wailers can dig into their pockets, and produce an NAACP card, an Urban League card, or a receipt for a. contribution to PUSH, SCLC, or any reputable Black institution. Of course, when you're not up there, it's easy sometimes natural to sit back and blame the achiever for a lot of things. Not the least of which is not being more involved. However, lots of achievers are involved. But, what's more important is this. Rather than allow an attitude like this to keep Black communities divided, I suggest we all do a little more to help ease the problems that exist in our communities. Repeat, all of us. Some can help more than others, of course. But please keep in mind, when we all help, we all help each other.

Quarterback Clifton Herring, whose deft passes and ban doffs were continually plagued by major penalties in the first half, hit split end Roderick Hodges on touchdown passes of 56 and 49 yards in a 1:25 span in the waning moments of the first half to give the Eagles the lead for good. Linebacker Franklin Tate picked off a pass by Delaware State and ran it into the end zone for the Eagles' third TD early in the fourth quarter, during which Central scored 19 points to put the Hornets away. The last two scores came on a 22-yard run by James Smith, a benched starter who replaced the injured Sam Grogan at fullback in the third quarter, and on a four-yard run by reserve tailback Eugene Carmichael.

Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Race Heads Into Home Stretch The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) football race heads into the home stretch drive and all indications point to a race right down to the finish as the seven teams battle for the conference championship and the right to play in the second-annual Pelican Bowl game in New Orleans, Louisiana in December. At the Midway point in the season all seven teams have demonstrated at one time or another during the season that any of the teams can win all the marbles. Three conference games and one intersectional contest were played Saturday and the scores of the games indicate the tightness of the league race. South Carolina State got another stern defensive performance at home against pre-season favorite Morgan and came away with Its second straight shutout victory- a 20-0 decision over the Bears of Baltimore. Maryland-Eastern Shore bounced back after two conference setbacks and spoiled the homecoming activities for North Carolina A & T as victorious the Hawks were by the score of 22-15. North Carolina Central put on its best offensive performance of the campaign as the Eagles came from behind to defeat winless Delaware State in Durham, 32- 7. Unbeaten Howard concluded its homecoming activities with an impressive 46-16 victory over West Virginia State in the nation's capital. The Bulldogs of South Carolina State evened their conference worksheet at 1-1-1 with the victory over Morgan. The homestanders scored once in the first two periods and played outstanding defense throughout the game. The week layoff last week for South Carolina State did not seem to bother the Palmetto State boys as they brought their record above the .500 mark at 2-2-1.

Central forced Hornets to pus aRa tie second down at the State 49, Hem ng lofted Use pass toward the goal line and let Hodges run under it for the go-ahead TD.

Then Tate stepped in front of Has' toss to the right flat, picked off the peas and scampered almost untouched to pay dirt Again Boykins' PAT was wide but the Eagles had the insurance TD they needed and a 19-7 advantage. With substitutes sprinkling both lineups late in the game. Central's Maurice Spencer returned a punt to the Delaware State 48 and Smith carried three straight times, scoring from the 22 with 7:14 left in the game. On the Eagles' next possession, Carmichael's TD was set up on a 27-yard pass from Ricky Moore to Don Outnan. Again Boykins missed the PAT, his third miss, but no one on the Eagles' side of the field was feeling any pain. Delaware State dropped to 0-6 over-all and 0-2 in the conference.
