NCNW begins drive
M rs.W illie Mae Hart,
President of the Portland
Section of the National Coun­
cil of Negro Women, has
announced that Mrs. Julia
Ganter will be the General
Chairman of the drive locally.
Mrs. Mary McLeod Be
thune was as much a revo­
lutionary as some of our
more spirited leaders, but
she was undaunted in her
pursuit of change and ac-
complishement for Black peo­
ple with dignity.
As a
result, a little girl who was
born in Mayesville, North
Carolina to parents who had
been slaves, was destined to
be sought out by world
leaders for honors for work
among her own Black people.
She was heralded by heads of
state and blessed by the
Pope before she passed away.
Mary McLeod Bethune was
the organizer of the National
Council of Negro Women and
the founder of Bethune-
Cookman College in Florida.

the final date to have the
balance of $135,109.99 in the
committee's account in order

finished.

Jules Podell's G
Eckstine, professionally and
affectionately referred to as
Mr. B., is as charismatic a
performer as there is in the
business. He doesn't use any
gimmicks when he sings.
His audiences, both men and
women in it, are captivated
by him. The letter "B" is not
only his first initial but it
also stands for his baritone
voice. It further stands for
the last initial of Al Bell,
president of Stax Records,
for whom Billy records. Eck­
stine has starred in the top
cafes around the country and
has appeared on the leading
TV variety shows. His pro­
fessional career began as a
singer and emcee in night
clubs in Buffalo, N.Y., De­
troit, and Chicago.
Billy's
singing began at the age of
11 in a church choir. Origi­
nally he was hired as vocalist
for the band of Earl IFathal
Hines. For five years, Billy
sang with Hines band as well
as playing the trumpet oc-
cassion aliy.
While with
Hines, he helped other talents
get into the band including
Charlie Parker and Sarah
Vaughn.
A fter leaving
Hines, Eckstine formed his
own group with Budd John­
son. This union lasted four
years and featured at various
times the remarkable codec
tion of jazz and “bop” musi­
cians ever assembled. Some
of the artists who palyed in
Eckstine's band included:
Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro,
Miles Davis, Kenny I Mr ham.
Gene Ammons. Exter Gor­
don, Lucky Thompson, Leo
Parker, John Malachi, Art
Wakey and Tommy Potter.
We describe Eckstine as a
pivotal figure in jazz his­
tory".
Billy is now being
produced on records by Soul
Master Isaac Hayes . . .
