“Soul On", as defined in
the D ictio n a ry of A f r o -
tm e r ir a n S lan g, is:
phrase
of encouragement to one to
continue to be authentic.
Mrs. Ethel Williams, for the
last 5 years, has been “Soul
ing On" young talent in the
Albina community.
Mrs.
Williams, who is a mother of
7 children, gives vocal and
dance groups direction. She
teaches them voice control,
methods of singing and the
manner in which to present
themselves.
Mrs. Williams moved from
New Orleans to Southern
Oregon when she was 11
years old with her family. A
2 year scholarship carried her
to Lewis and Clark College.
After a major accident, she
became interested in working
with young people.
It was
during this time that Mrs.
Williams realized the need of
many young Blacks in the
community.
“Must make people settle
down and work together and
enforce more discipline."
Mrs. Williams said in ex
plaining her approach to
youth.
Most of the time
M rs. Williams spends helping
these groups is volunteer
time.
" It’s hard to get people to
work together, but once you
get things sta rte d , things
really roll. The first group
Mrs. Williams worked with
were several young lady
dancers called the Realistic«.
Since then she has worked
with approximately 5 singing

tions Mrs. Ethel Williams about her involvement with youth.

groups, 3 dancing groups and
2 bands. One of the groups,
the Beyouns are now pro
fessional and perform in clubs
in the Portland area.
Williams commented.
A lthough Po rtlan d has
great potential. Mrs. Wil
liams pointed out. beginning
talent must be very roura
geous.
Talent in Portland
can get a good foundation
and become more original.
Discouragement comes easily
to many young entertainers.
Mrs. Williams has found it
very important to counsel
much of the talent. “If not,
many would have fallen."
In working with youth, the
only problem in drugs Mrs.
Williams has run up against is
Marijuana. "They don't mess
with the heavy drugs, and if
I see the need, it goes." Mrs.
Williams considers the need
to be damaging psychologi
cally. “I can't see the per
son's realy personality. Their
eyes are reddened and they
just don't look themselves."
Mrs. Williams, who has a
singing background in the
Baptist church, is a soloist
and choir member at Van
c o u v e r A v e n u e B a p tis t
Church in North Portland.
“A church background is an
asset to anyone, because
people who have a God con
cept have someting to hold
on to and fall back on." Mrs.
M rs. W illia m s sacrifices
time and money for the sue
cessful dream she realizes in
the talent she works with.
The way she put it. "I
haven't gotten discouraged.
The only thing that has
stopped me is illness.
I ’ve
always felt like working." So
Mrs. Williams, while others
among us are shaken to the
very depths by a shortage of
gas. keeps on Souling On!
Stars re v e a l b eau ty secrets
Did you know that as a
child. Cicely Tyson. Academy
Award Nominee co-star of
"Sounder”, was a string bean
with short, coarse hair and
was considered unattractive?
Or that Leslie Uggams, who
started in television at age
six, had her greatest prob
lem with makeup because
there were almost no colors
for Black people in those
days? And. Denise Nicholas,
"Room 222" star, was frus
trated when she tried to
break into commercials be
cause everyone was looking
for Black girls with Afros
and she had straight hair?
In the January Essence
Beauty Annual, West Coast
editor Liz Gant interviews
five prom inent Black ac
tresses for an inside look at
how they visualize them
selves as "beauties", and
finds out more about how
they got that way.
Leslie Uggams recalls that
back in the Mitch Miller
days, Blacks tried to look as
white as possible and she
was constantly straightening
her hair. Eventually it broke
off. and she went through six
years of wigs -
day and
night.
But now she condi
tions her hair with mayon
naise and wraps it in Saran
W ra p , and i t ’s n atu rally
healthy and beautiful.
Nancy W ilson, always
beautifully coiffed, does her
own hair. “Going to strange
beauticians on the road all
the time really started it,"
she says. And, I can do my
own hair much more simply
and faster at home.”
Cicely Tyson m aintains,
“I'm a great advocate of
choice.
If you want to
straighten your hair, do it.
Whatever you want to do, do
it, if it works for you. I ’m
a person of many moods.
Sometimes I just decide I
want to look a certain way
and feel I'm entitled. I have
never been one to follow
fashion. I have always been
one to follow the dictates of
my own mind. I shaved my
head ten years ago in New
York when it wasn't fashion
able, and then just last year.
I wore a Marrelle to the
Academy Awards because of
the type of gown I wore.”
Hairstyle is a very indivi
dual thing. Is the same true
with makeup?
“Yes.” says Denise Nicho
las.
"I don't like a lot o‘
makeup; and it really doe*
ruin your skin, especially
when you're working under
hot lights." Leslie used to
live in makeup. “I believed
that since 1 was in the public
eye that was the thing to do.
Now, I like the least amount
of makeup, except when I'm
doing a concert or night club
date. I think the eyes are
important. If the eyes are
right, then you're OK."

because that keeps the lines
away. Then, at least twice a
week. I use a mask. I whip
up avocados in a blender and
put it on my face and let it
harden. The problem with
most women is that we wear
makeup but don't know how
to clean it off
and that's
where most of the damage is
done. Too many of us don't
watch our diets e ith e r.

For Nancy there is simply
"soap and water”. "No night
creams; no moisturizer, no
nothing," she insists.
“It
costs very little to hr- beauti
ful. I think we’re too swayed
by fads. Someone over 30 or
35 shouldn't be doing all
that. I want to be what I

gime? Judy Elder finds the
smog in lx » Angeles a detn
ment to her skin and sug
gests this cleansing method.
"I use a facial sauna. I have
dry skin, but the area around
my nose can be oily. I do my
own facial mask by mixing
an egg white and honey.
First, I wash with soap and
water and then with witch
hazel. Next I put on the egg
white and honey and leave
that on for about 10 or 15
minutes until it’s really hard,
and then use a lemon half to
wipe it off. Finally, I rinse
with vinegar.
Doing that
about once every two weeks
keeps my skin really clean
and soft."
Leslie Uggams has her
own routine. "Every morning
when I get up I give my skin
a treatment and again at
night and I always apply oil
around my eyes at night
