Gamble Is First Black Recipient of
Experience Gome To The Center
Humanitarian Award
Recent . media research
shows that the death rate of
blacks from causes due to
cancer is higher than that of
whites, and investigations are
underway to learn more about
this discovery in laboratories
across the country.
The fight to eliminate
cancer through research is a
battle that requires enormous
sums of money that are
generally not easily found.
That's why more than thirteen
years ago, concerned in
dividuals in the music industry
came together to lend their
financial support to this vital
effort. For the last thirteen
years the music industry has
sponsored an annual
Humanitarian Award Dinner
to highlight the urgent need
for support oa medical
research. The proceeds from
the affair are donated to the
AMC Cancer Research Center
and Hospital in Lakewood,
Colorado.
This year, the 1980
Humanitarian Award will be
presented to Kenneth Gamble,
who is the first black recipient
to receive this honor; Gamble
is co-founder and Chairman
of the Board of Philadelphia
International Records, the se
cond largest black-owned
recording company in the na
tion, and is the co-founder of
the Black Music Association.
As a songwriter and producer,
he has received more than 150
gold and platinum records for
hits with artists such as Teddy
Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, the
O'Jays and Billy Paul.
"Cancer is a disease that af
fects all people," said Gam
ble, "and it will take the ef
forts of all of us to bring an
end to this killer. Those of us
in the music industry, and all
of us who enjoy music, have
seen cancer claim the lives of
artists like Nat "King" Cole,
Minnie Riperton, and others.
We in the music industry have
pledged, to do all that we can
to help in the research that will
lead to a cure. We hope that
everyone who has ever receiv
ed joy from music will join us
by supporting the research
that will give the joy of life."

Broadway's Tony Award-winning Lin
da Hopkins gets the audience worked up
to wild applause with her unique version
of "John Henry," a number usually per
formed by male singers. She also pours
heart and soul into a chilling version of
"Trouble."
Tennessee Ernie gets in a medley of
some of his favorite work songs and
stories "Nine Pound Hammer," "Born
to Lose," "Who's Gonna Shoe (Your
Pretty Little Feet)?" and "Working
Song" before introducing his special ,
guest star Merle Haggard. Haggard, who
is described as having a country style
"half-way between Austin and
Nashville," leads his audience through a
working man's day by telling of migrant
workers' toil in "Tulare' Dust" and then
dreaming of better times in "Colorado"'
'and "Rainbow Stew."
Also included in the program is a series
of duets between Ernie Ford and his
guests, with numbers such as "Daddy
Frank," "Cool Water," "Crawdad
Song," "I Love" and "I'll Never Be
Free" leading up to a stirring solo on
"Sixteen Tons."
From the opening strains of "This Land
is Your Land" to the rousing finale of
"This Little Light of Mine" "Songs Of A
Lusty . Land" conveys a uniquely
American spirit.
The mythology and truths of America
have always been perpetuated in its music. ,
The work, love, hart and humor that went '
into the making of this land are embodied
in it. "Songs Of A Lusty Land" salutes
this country's varied musical heritage in a
two-hour celebration on December 27 at 8
p.m. on Center Channel 4.
Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford, this
special features some of the most gifted
talents to rise from America's heartland.
As the only group still specializing in
distinctly western (as opposed to country)
music, The Sons of the Pioneers have kept
the cowboy spirit alive. These fiye talented
voices transport the audience to wide open
spaces with their renditions of "When
Payday Rolls Around," "Ghost Riders in
the Sky" and "Tumbling Tumbleweed."
Kay Starr brings to life the blues-torch-country-ballad
style best characterized as
"saloon singing" with her brassy, gutsy
performance. She makes her audience
alternately introspective and amused with
"Wheel of fortune," "The Hungry
Years" and "Frankie and Johnny."
Tom T. Hall, a man often called the
poet laureate of the working class, con
tributes his alternately bitter, funny and
philosophical thoughts in "Rolling Mills
of Middletown," "The Ballad of Forty
Dollars" and "Old Dogs, Children and
Watermelon Wine."
Help Child Develop Good Eating
Habits
May Be Due Poor Turnips
To Low Boron
A deficiency of boron in
garden soil could be the cause
of a poor quality turnip crop,
according to North Carolina
State University agricultural
extenshion horitculturists.
Some of the symptoms of
this problem are turnip roots
with dark, pithy centers.
Turnips, like all plants of
the cabbage family, require
more boron than other types
of crops. To prevent a defi
ciency, apply two table
spoons of borax, solubor,
borateen or similar material
per 100 feet of row.
The borax containaing ma
terial may be mixed with the
fertilizer or with sand to help
get even distribution.
Caution: dont' use a higher
rate of boron than suggested
Learning to enjoy a wide
variety of nutritious foods is
basic for developing good life
time food habits.
Many parents assume that
children are getting the proper
amounts of all nutrients by
allowing each phild to eat what
ever he or she likes and giving
him a dietary supplement, such
as a vitamin tablet, observes
Sarah Hinton, extension food
specialist, North Carolina State
University.
This may be a poor practice,
Mrs. Hinton adds, because
children may develop a limited
number of food likes and then
depend upon these foods for
all of the 45 or more nutrients
knowa to be essential for
humans.
The "right" foods are usually
the safest and best balanced
source for all of the nutrients
needed by the body. Some
nutrients, particularly
vitamins A and D, can be toxic
or poisonous if taken in large
doses over extended periods
Wednesday Evening
of time, Mrs. Hinton adds.
Setting a good example is
one of the best ways a parent
can encourage a child to learn
to eat a wide variety of foods.
Fathers are just as important
as mothers in this respect.
Allow a child to have a few
dislikes. If he dislikes a food,
don't push but offer it again
at a later time because children
change readily.
Children's tastebuds are
sensitive, and they have more
of them than adults. They
usually prefer bland foods and
reject sharp or distinctive
flavors.
