There seems to be a fairly common belief among young secretaries today that ^u college means thai school KBPP ^ days are at an end. Once they receive their diplomas, . classrooms, teachers and Naomi C. McLean books. This should not be the case. Education should be a continuing process - if you want to be a success, that is. There's always much to learn, and you can have fun while learning. _ Naturally, if you're a working .flirt, YAW joh ^houM he... _ your primary interest. It isn't wise to &ctoverboard and_ " rush out to classes five nights a week. However, there are prooaoiy one or two evenings a week when you have some free time. Why not spend them in school? You may enjoy it - and it's bound to prove worthwhile. There are a number of things you could study. If . you're starting out on your first job, for example, you may find that some of your skills are not so good as you ' would like them to be. Perhaps you're working for a man .7. .who dictates like a "ball of fire," and you just can't keep up. Or you may discover that your punctuation and spelling are not up to par (even though you did get good grades in English). Don't be complacent and simply correel your mistakes after your boss returns your work. You expect increases in your pay check, your boss, in turn, expects you to become a better secretary each day. "Therefore, it is your responsibility to learn to do things the right way. And one of the best ways to improve yourself and your skills is by a program of concentrated ' "'study. Before you proceed to take courses at random, it's a wise idea to have a talk with your executive. He may have some good suggestions about schools and programs. And ". whether or not he can help you, he's sure to be impressed by your ambition. Many large companies recognize the value of this type of study, and they've set up tuition-refund plans for their employees, In many cases, the company foots half the : bill, in others they pay the full amount. Some firms even . , offer courses within the organization. If your company V. has any sort of education program, you should investigate its possibilities. You may be very glad you did. If you're one of those lucky secretaries whose skills are in tiptop shape, you should still be able to find courses that can help you be a more valuable employee. Your job - as secretary to a banker, lawyer, or what have you - will determine what you study, of course. Your company will benefit from your move and so will you. You'll be a more intelligent worker, and you'll find yourself getting much more out of your job" when you've learned something "abdut I hie' field in genefgl.

One of the new laws gives tenants the right to have fit and safe housing. If your place needs repairs, you need to know how to use this new law! Who Is Covered By This Law All housing that people pay to live in is covered by this , - law - houses, apartments, traiierSr"paWc~housing. If you pay for your place by giving your landlord part of your . crop, or if you pay by working for your landlord, this law is for you, too. You do not have to have a written lease to use this law. This law does not cover motel and hotel . rooms. l What Does The Law Say - The new law says that your landlord must keep your ; housing fit and safe. It also says that you, the tenant, -,-musJ pay ^oyt^rent, keep your place clean, and not ... damage your place. To make the new law work, both the tenant and the landlord must do their part.

This past summer, hundreds gathered in Harlem along with New York City politicians, community leaders and government officials including the future vice president, to honor tbe opening of Lionel Hampton's latest humanitarian effort: the Gladys Hampton Houses, a 205-unit complex named after his late wife Gladys. Gladys Hampton was the cornerstone in Lionel Hampton's career and life. When they met in California in 1932, Gladys was a designer to such great celebrities as Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. She helped organize Httircptcm's first bawds and stood arthcrmrnr -settrec-?ef ? hts- eiwwagcment?throughout iheir - yearstogether. Later when he was invited to join Benny Goodman and his band in 1936, she dropped her career and dedicated her entire life to managing his. Entertainers and musicians from around the world gathered at her funeral in 1971 to pay last respects. Hampton likes to be quoted as saying "God gave methe talent, but Gladys gave the inspiration." That statement along with his wife were so dear to him that the inscription is engraved on the cornerstone of the building. In an interview 1 taped with Hampton last fall, 1 became aware of the great compassion this musical giant had for his late wife, his career and the welfare of others. "She was a wonderful lady," sa^s Hampton.

Among the things, he was talking about the large amount of land Gladys had purchased in Las Vegas some years ago where the band frequently played.

This was to be the beginning of a relationship that would include Hampton's support for Rockefeller in his campaign for Governor. "The people down in Harlem were having a hard time getting money to rehabilitate their homes and Governor Rockefeller was putting together a UDC - Urban Development Corporation - for the State of New York. And so the community told me, why don't you ask Governor Rockefeller could he sponsor some of these apartments and new homes down here in our community. So I did. 1 asked him and he said he would do it. But he said I want you to be the sponsor."

Aside from running two music -puhUshjiag Liooc 1_Ham p t o n Enterprises -"3* ]ia'| "f rK- nfhi'P course, the Lionel Hampton Development Corporation. He has even composed a major symphonic work, "King David's Suite," which he was invited to conduct before a symphony orchestr^. And to add scholarly excellence to musical excellence, Hampton possesses honorary Doctor of Music degrees from Allen, Xavier, Pepperdine and Howard Universities. Obviously, his heart belongs to music. Hampton likes to tell the story of how he met Louie Armstrong while playing at Sabastian's Cotton Club in Harlem: "While we were there, Louis Armstrong came -daertrdLdAcfitHme ihe show. And IjouisLatanagerheaxd-u* and he_ liked u.5 so well thai he. left J~Quis*?hand in New York City and used us. "Louis came out and he liked us so well that he took us on a recording session to record for him. And the first number we recorded was a tune that the famous Eubie Blake, had sent him called 'Memories of You.*" Once at the studio, Armstrong asked Lionel if he knew anything about an instrument that was lying in the middle of the floor. Hampton, who had never placed the instrument before, gave it a try -- and with instant success. That instrument was a vibraharp, which would become the musical monogram for Hampton's music. Lionel Hampton will always be remembered as a great musician. However, his lonu existence in the music world is secondary to his dedication to the welfare of others. He is a house filled with love and music. Tony Brown's Journal, the television series, is shown every Sunday, on Channel WGHP - TV (8) at 11:30 p.m. Getting There Is Half The Funds.
