His alertness in executing your market order certainly is of importance when evaluating his overall value to you.

But beyond this, your personal representative should be a first rate source of stock market information. This isn't saying that a customer's man should also put time in as a secret agent, full of top level industrial secrets. He should, however, be able to furnish you with ample data on companies, the stock of which you may be considering. Often his brokerage firm will have on file extra copies of corporate annual reports for distribution both to customers and prosp ective clients. These reports, of course, are available free from the companies themselves.

JACKIE ROBINSON SAYS Why Some Blacks Won't Help Others By JACKIE ROBINSON When I received the following letter, I was reminded of the national story which broke recently concerning a night club owned by Red Foxx on the West Coast. Red had prob lems getting talent until he appeared on the Joey Bishop show and Bishop allowed him to ex plain bis dilemma. Many show business people flocked to bis aid.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if something like that could happen for the writer of the following note. He is Leroy "Pops" Williams, for 35 years owner of the famed Club Harlem in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He writes: "As you, no doubt, know, the Club Harlem is one of the largest all Negro owned nightclubs in the nation. I try to give the patrons, during our regular 12 week season from June to September, the finest in entertainment that money can buy. "But in recent years, I have run into a situation that I a mat a loss to to explain; that is certain Negro en formers who just absolutely refuse to work at the Club Harlem, despite the fact that I offer them ton Hollar fnr their services.

Ask those who've enjoyed performing at the Harlem. They include Sammy Davis, Billy Eckstine, Billy Daniels, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Nash, Jackie Wilson, etc. But there are about a dozen who are in the name bracket who, for some reason, I haven't fathomed, just don't want to darken our threshold. "Do they realize that they jeopardize the continued existence of the Harlem? If I can't give the crowd what they want, then they go elsewhere. All the people on the payroll are kept working when I get a headliner who can draw the crowd.

"What do I do to get these headliners to accept a black man's money? Picket their homes, their offices? I admit I'm a bit too old (in my 70's) but sometimes I'm tempted to take that step. Should there be economic discrimination against a member of your own race? Particularly, when he's not begging, but willing to pay the price.

May I also add that during the season, I turn over the Harlem at least a dozen times, free of charge, to worthy organizations staging benefit shows to raise money for charitable causes.

I hate to believe that some of our top stars perfer to work for white spots only. i BIG MOUTH About My Momma, The Republican By ALFRED DUCKETT Momma a Republican. But she say: "I am not no 'Lincoln saved colored folks' Republican. Neither no 'hand me down' Republican you know, those folks that say they Republican because they Daddy was.

I am just a black Republican because they is too many black Democrats. Democrats figure black folks automatically belong to them because Mr. Roosevelt gave hungry folks some food and a lot of the hungry folks was black, hungry folks. Just like Republicans figure black folks SHOULD belong to them because of Mr. Lincoln.

I do not agree with neither. But I am a Republican, like I said, because we black folks cannot afford to be putting all our black eggs in one white basket. If as many colored become Republicans next year as they is black Democrats today, I liable to switch over and become a Democrat. Don't ever let nobody take you for granted. That's what I say.

It's just like marriage. Your husband or wife take you for granted, you get little attention and a whole lotta trouble." But even though Momma Republican, she do not like Mr. Richard Nixon, which a lot of folks consider to be Mr. Repub lican. Momma say: "I ain't sure just what it is about the man, I sure don't trust him.

He the kind of person like some salesmen who, if he come to your house and you got a dog not a poodle or no puppy, but a dog that dog gonna go frantic, barking. I do not mean no wag tail barking, no howdy barking. Barking that mean that dog want that person to go away. Ain't nobody can tell me that dog know why he don't like cer tain folks. Well, I guess I am like that dog about Mr.

Njxon. I sniffs trouble when he come around. I don't like his smile. I do not believe he really smiling inside. I think he learn how to smile like a dancer learn how to curtsy.

He don't never take no stand on nothing that could make folks love him or hate him. Seem like he ask around and smell around and listen around and find out, real careful, what most folks be say ing. Then he say the same thing out loud. I don't like a man hardly ever say something one can disagree with. Maybe Mr.

Nixon got that way, working for General Ike. Folks liked Ike, but nobody ever knew what he was saying. So, couldnt no one disagree. One time, General Ike talked straight talk when Mr. Fau bus made him mad enough to send troops to Little Rock.

Some my friends believe General Ike did that because he believed in freedom of school for them little colored children. Maybe so, but I think he did it because he a general, used to being obeyed and Mr. Faubus did not obey him. I am not no educated woman and I do not know politics, but I know my own mind. Right now, my mind is Republican.

I Thinking It Over Choosing Weapons Of Love By ERNEST BOYNTON "The Weapons of Gordon Parks" is a documentary motion picture that clings to the spirit for days after seeing it, the kind of thing that happens to us when we meet an uncommon man, a civilized and wise human being. The documentary uses many of Gordon Parks' still photographs to help reveal the celebrated black photographer. Motion picture footage shows him photographing on location and writing and composing in his home. On the sound track Parks tells the story of his life in words taken from his autobiography, A Choice of Weapons. The film opens with photographs that Parks made at an execution.

On that assignment he realized how he might have been the man in the gas chamber had he not made a right choice of weapons in his youth. He was the youngest in a family of 15. His mother died when he was 16 and the children were parceled out to friends and relatives. About that time Parks found himself on a streetcar, late at night, alone with an elderly conductor who was counting a roll of dollar bills. Parks felt for a knife in his ket and snapped open a swtichblade.

The be found himself saying, "Will you give me a dollar for this knife;" The conductor said, "Keep the knife," and tried to hand over two one dollar bills, but Parks jumped from the car and ran into the night deeply ashamed of Gordon Parks found later that he could get the things he wants in life with a crea tive weapon, a camera. He gives his mother credit for helping him make a good choice: "My mother had freed me from the curse of inferiority long before she died by not allowing me to take refuge in the excuse that I had been born black.".
