JIMMY BROWN
'65 Great Year for Negro
Film Stars; Will 66 Top It?
1965 was a big year for our
start of ebony hue. Now, with
Christmas gone, and the New.
Year right around the comer, we
pause to reflect on the past and
speculate about the future.
In 1965 we saw the addition of
many new faces In a variety of
fresh appealing roles . . . and
we "dug" it. Along with the new
comers. the old favorites thrill,
ed in time and time again. We
are looking forward to the devel
opment of this policy of more ex
posure for black talent by Holly*
wood film-makers.
Heeding the list of performers
who were outstanding is 1964
Academy Award Winner Sidney
Poitier It appears as though Mr.
Poitier Improves (if that's possi
ble) with each r.ew film. "A
Slender Thread", "A Patch of
Blue" and "Bedford Incident",
his ifiost recent releases, con
firm what we have known for
years. Namely, that Poitier is
superb in non-ethnic as well as
specifically ethnic parts.
If Poitier heads the list, not
too far behind Is Bernie Hamil
ton. No newcomer to screen fans,
Bernie really "upset" the crit
ics with his magnificent per
formance In "One Potato, Two

ROBERT C. HENRY
Negro Elected Mayor In Ohio
By Five-Member Commission
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio Rob
ert C. Henry was elected unan
imously Monday night by the
fellow five-member commission
as the mayor of Springfield.
By virtue of his election, Hen
ry, 44, becomes the first Negro
to be mayor of a large Ohio
city.
Henry led the ticket for the
City Commission in the No
vember election but it was the
vote of the other members of
the Commission which gave
Henry the ceremonial office
because in previous elections,
the top vote getter didn't always
become the mayor.
Henry, a funeral director
who has been a law director
for a year, said the most prob
lems for the ninth most popu
lous city needed
capital improvement and more
money to hire\and maintain
adequate personnel.

Potato". A Cannes FUm Festi
val Award Winner, "Potato"
highlighted Bernle's fine talent
and helped destroy the myth that i
Poitier was the only Negro acy'
tor of "box office value".
Following "Potato", Hamilton
turned in another topnotch per
formance in "Synanor". Starring
alongside Eartha Kitt, Bemie
Hamilton proved his award wiiv
nmg "Potato" performance was
no mere flash in the pan.
Another fine young actor who
Is currently lending validity to
the box office power of black
male actors Is Ivan Dixon. Not
soon io he forgotten for the
lead In "Nothing But A Man",
Dixon demonstrated his wide
range and ability. Needless to say
be endeared himself to fans of
all races. So warm and tender
was his character portrayal that
it Is a foregone conclusion he
will be seen repeatedly during
the 1966 season.
"When it rains, It pours", or
so seems to be the case with
Hollywood maturing, and utiliz
ing the talents of non-white ac
tors in diversified rolea.

actor of a long standing fine rep-

By Mary Whitman
Colorful, convenient maps are
a magic carpet today.
But it wasn't always so. The
story of mapmaklng never stops.
Men used to carry maps In
their heads. The world was
smaller then. A caveman could
memorize every hill and tree.
South Sea Islanders carried
ingenious maps in their canoes.
A small framework of sticks
represented water, and shells
were attached to show where
land was.
Early civilized man made
maps on clay tablets. Later,
primitive woodcut printing
evolved. In the medieval period,
maps showed three continents
Europe, Asia, Africa and
the world was thought to be a
saucer surrounded by a circular
ocean. By the 16th century, fine
mapmaklng flourished In Medi
terranean ports and copperplate
engraving was well established.
But amazing as it seems today,
In the year 1700 nearly half the
earth's surface was still un
known and unexplored.
Today the world is so big
and so changing • that keeping
mapmaklng up to date Is still
a challenge.
"Maps have always held a
special magic for boys and young
men" points out James Lyle,
president of Whitman Publish
ing Company, Racine, Wis.,
'world's largest publisher of chil
dren's activity items. "A"good
map seems to call for a good
story. That natural combination
has now led to a whole new con
cept in maps to help children
study."
Maps have been developed,
In full color, with border illua*
tratlons. Along with each map
goes an adventure book about
General Whitman, a fictional
hero who serves the free world
on special assignment from the
Pentagon.
The General travels by plane,
racing car, llama, and other
lively locomotion in his work as
a global trouble shooter. The
young student can follow each of
nine adventures on a set of
matching maps.
Parent* and teachers who And
a child's interest flagging In ex
ports and Imports will see new
excitement kindled when boya
discover the book*. Where the
General goes there's bound to
be general improvement In
grades.
