THE TRIBUNAL AID
and kcutdo-lp-k Qauniiei.
THE
POINTER
by Albert A. Campbell
In our first edition, May 30, 1973, our creed
was the top and leading article of that paper.
As it was then, it still is today, the intention of
this newspaper. The only change that has
come about is the one year that has passed
and fifty two editions later.
At that time, this paper was founded on
those principles and today we are happy to say
we still believe the same. Possibly we have
grown stronger in that belief.
To refresh your memory, and for those who
missed it the first time, we wish to reprint
what was said then to remind those who might
read later issues of our commitment.
With this the first edition o£ THE
TRIBUNAL AID, we would like to establish
and relate to our readers and advertisers the
goal, aspirations, and intentions of this
newspaper.
First, our,goal is to simply be a newspaper.
By that we mean, all news received by us on or
before the deadline will be published -
providing it is publishable. Our responsibility
is to report, inform, and in some instances to
editorilize.
Second, our aspirations are to serve ail of
the people, regardless of religion, race,
status, or political affiliation. And because we
are a weekly, our territorial surroundings have
no bounds. We will aid all communities.
Third, our intentions are honest ana
uncomplicated. As we presently are, we
intend to remain neutral and owe no
allegiance to anyone. And to our advertisers
we will publish on Wednesdays, so that this
paper’s readers will be informed early enough
to gain from your weekend advertising. This Is
A Weekly Paper, Not A Weekender.
We believe that a public newspaper should
be available to serve all factions of its
community, and because of this belief, THE
TRIBUNAL AID will not favor nor cater to any
special person or group. Not only will we
accept your news, but we welcome it. Because
of this, if in anyway our influence brings about
the smallest change in our community or even
other newspapers, then we will have
constructively contributed to this area.
If what was said in May, 1973 has in fact
brought about the slightest change, then we
are moving toward our initial goal.
The struggle has been hard, yet the
accomplishments outweigh. No new news
paper could have asked for more support than
this paper has received. The readers have
been kind and tolerant, while the advertisers
were being most generous.
To you, our supporters, we wish to take this
opportunity to say thanks for what ever
measure of success we might have attained.
We could not have done it without your help.
Because of your support and assistance, we
at THE TRIBUNAL AID would like to continue
serving your community, and we welcome all
suggestions and comments. And we will honor
valid requests.
If we have contributed to your reading
pleasures during our first year, then hopefully
we will continue the same in the years to
come, while at the same time improving as we
grow older.
To our advertisers, we are mindful of your
investment, and hopefully your investments
were not fruitless gestures. It is your support
that enables us to serve.

Duke Llliuglou
NEW YORK -- Duke Ellington, one of the world’s
foremost composers and an American institution,
died Friday of cancer and pneumonia. Edward
Kennedy Ellington was 75.
The “Duke,” [who got his nickname because of
elegant dress and manner] had checked into the
hospital in March complaining of breath shortness.
He was buried Monday.
He composed more than 1,000 songs including
such hits as “In My Solitude”, “I Let A Song Go Out
of My Heart,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,”
“Mood Indigo”, and “Do Nothin’ Til You Hear
From Me.”
Ellington was the first jazz musician to receive the
French Legion of Honor and also received this
country’s highest civilian honor, the Medal of
Freedom. Composer - conductor Leonard Bernstein
called Ellington “a nobleman with a magnificent
coat of arms made of black and tan, a touch of white
and lots of blues.”
Ellington quit high school in his senior year and
began playing piano professionally at night while
earning a living painting signs during the day. He
formed his first band in 1918 and moved to New York
in 1923.
"We must give our children a sense of pride in being black. The glory of our past
and the dignity of our present must lead the way to the power of our future.''
