'Commanders of the Rite' organizes here Eleven, T h irty -th ird Degree, Prince Hall Masons, were organized by the Overseer for Oregon, Wm. B. Odom, into a chapter o f “ The Commanders o f the Rite.” The Commanders o f the R ite’ s purpose and motto: “ While other people and organizations are talking about Faith and Brotherhood, this body is making a serious effo rt to make it a reality,” and to stimulate, encourage, and aid, wherever masonically possible; downtrodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social economic and intellec tual status. The organization w ill provide scholarships and services to senior citizens and youth. They w ill con tinue the Mason’s work with Crime Prevention. Jones pushes stock investment (Continued from Page l Col 6) investment brings a greater ap preciation in value. That is, the stock should increase in worth more than when you bought it. And, there is an option you have. You can sell out your position or hold on longer to see if it will climb still higher. “ What do I specialize in? I like oil and gas stocks. The energy-related stocks. They are certain to be good through 1990. I became involved w ith them because 1 recognize numerous companies are looking for fuel in the nature o f oil and gas and are exploring in all directions to find it.” Jones caught sight o f some figures floating across the screen of his computer on the desk top. He stopped talking for a moment. The glitter in his eyes shone brighter and he smiled with quiet satisfaction. “ No more ticker-tape,” Jones v.isweied a question. “ That went by the way quite a while ago. no w everything is done by computer, quickly and silently.” He comfortably scanned the large carpeted expanse o f the W.S. Wein Company offices in the U.S. Bank Plaza. Jones has been associated with Wein company for some time and he mentioned that the present company has been in business in New Jersey since 1919. Branch o f fices are in Portland, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas and London. When Wein opened this local office eight months ago, Nick joined them. Jones had had experience as a stock broker with another company before Wein came to Portland, but most Portlaners will remember Nick Jones as a professional basketball player. A graduate o f M arshall High School who went to the University o f Oregon on a four-year basketball scholarship, Nick played guard in pro-ball for seven years with the San Diego Rockets and the Golden State Warriors. His career as a basketball player was interrupted by a stint with the U.S. M ilitary. When he returned to civilian life, he decided to "use my brain and not my back.” “ When I was a kid,” Jones went on,."I banked on athletics for suc cess. Finally I saw reality. I reached the place where I recognized there were only 200 jobs like mine had been and I had been fortunate. Now it was time to make a change. “ My current game plan is to get more minorities involved in the stock market, so I work the lunch eon circuit with other stock brokers, conduct workshops and seminar through W.S. Wein and try to spread the word to the Black com munity. “ To become a stock b ro k e r,” Jones said, " I had to pass an 8-hour written test o f 250 questions by the N ational Association o f Security Dealers. I ’ve had economics; lots of mathematics; 1 th in k ; I ’ m con sidered prudent. I have common sense. I am ready. “ Wein company brings new o f ferings to the public: a service in research performed at the home o f fice in New Jersey. Among them are some “ small dollar stocks” starting at $2.00 a share. Some o f these have already risen to $5.00 a share. I predict some w ill go shortly to $10.00. “ A stock-market tip?” Why not? Nick Jones leans forward, says confidently, “ Try High Stoy Technology, a medical technology; try Energy Methods, an oil and gas stock; try B.S.N. Corporation, a sporting goods outfit that makes basketball nets, tennis nets, fishing nets. They all have good futures. And they are selling around $2.00 or so a share! “ Just call me!” Mozambique finds CIA plot Mozambian Minister of Infor mation Jose Luis Cabazo reported that activities earned out in his country by the recently dismantled C IA network were aimed at de- stablizing the Mozambican govern ment. On March 4th the Peoples Republic of Mozambique expelled four US diplomats who were CIA officers. Investigations revealed that 14 US citizens had been conducting spy activities under diplomatic cover in Mozambique. Cabazo reported that statements made by alleged CIA agents and others now under arrest show that they tried to obtain information on the structure of the FR E LIM O Party and the state as well as its leaders, including President Samora Machel. He added that C IA agents at tempted to recruit agents from the armed forces as well as from civil aviation and the Air Force. Besides information on the Moz ambique government, the agents collected information on refugees and militants of the liberation movements o f South Africa, Namibia. East Timor, Western Sahara and Palestine. “ It is evident that the C IA transmitted to the spy services of the racist regime of Pretoria the Infor- i % mation it obtained on the move ments and activities of South African revolutionaries residing in Mozambique,” Cabazo said. Two Mozambican C IA agents, arrested along with others in the spy network, gave detailed explanations of the way they were recruited and the assignments they were given. Josi Chipaio Massinga, 51, was an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1975. He said he was first contacted by the CIA in 1966 when he was a student in New York and a representative of the FR ELIM O movement, he was re cruited in 1975 when he returned to New York as a member of the Mozambique delegation to the UN General Assembly. He was con tacted by the same agent and won over with money. He said he gave regular reports to the CIA network on Mozambique relations with the USSR, Cuba and other socialist countries, the numbers of people from those countries working in Mozambique, information on Mozambique leaders and their differences, and the activities of the African National Congress. Alddo Chivite was recruited in 1971 and reported on numbers and types of weapons, troop location and preparation, activities of mem bers of liberation movements, and lists of arms used by Z A N U and ZAPU. Joao Carneiro Goncalves, a cap tain in the Mozambican Air Force, worked for three years is part of the CIA network. The officer, asked to become a C IA agent by the Mozam bican Security Force, was the President’s pilot. He was asked for information on Machel’s activities, his personality and friends, as well as questions related to weaponry. Goncalves fed the CIA incorrect in formation for his government.

The more he tries to hide his feelings and talk around m entioning the baby, the more uncom fortable I become. What can I do to ease the tension that’s building between us? Confused Dear Confused, I suggest the two o f you collect again at the round table and discuss better you’d both feel and how well things w ill work out. A unt Bea Dear Aun, Bea, I am a high school student and pretty popular, especially with the boys. I date a lot o f them, but not serious w ith any. My mom thinks I’ m a disgrace, but Aunt Bea, I date pretty decent boys and I prefer to date a lot o f them so as not to get serious with any one. Because after a w hile a boy thinks you should satisfy his every need and I ’ m just not ready to get seriously intim ate this matter a bit more and both be honest about your feelings and talk about it often and mention the baby as much as the subject o f the little one comes up. Y o u ’ d be surprised how much or in tim a te ly serious. But I can’ t convince my mom that 1 know what I am doing. Maybe you can. Not Serious Dear Not Serious, I admire your determination not to get serious yet. High school really isn’ t the place to be too serious about much else other than studies. However, you must convince your mom that yo u ’ re enjoying the dating and not the dates. A unt Bea Pork Roast a s .» 1 M Spare Ribs ssix.

Alberta PORTLAND. OREGON 9721 1 284 7997 From the Front Door BY TO M BO O THE FROM THE FRONT DOOR, I have received many phone calls and in person comments regarding the March 19th and March 26th, from the Front Door publication in the Portland Observer. All comments have been positive and supportive of my position regarding Black “ On T im e ” participation in Political processes and I have been encouraged to write more on this subject. My feelings are, “ Once you speak and are heard, to keep saying the same thing ends up being counter productive." However, I have a proposition for all who are supportive. If each person who is supportive would get your neighbors informed "ON TIME and into the voting booth "ON TIME" would you believe we would be SOLVING the problem; as opposed to just TALKING about it. THEN LET's DO IT, OK? Another thing which I am concerned about is our attitude regarding our im mediate community where we live. Many of our citizens will go down town, or in other parts of the city and behave respectfully and clean, then come home where we live and throw BEER BOTTLES on the streets and leave our streets and sidewalks littered with broken glass, paper and fast food boxes. There is no excuse for complaining and critizing littered conditions, when it is us who are allowing our neighbors to be irresponsibe to our community. Here is an area which we as individuals can greatly improve, when we all decide to do so. During February, I published a model of what I think should be a base regard ing the establishment of a Policy of Principal, published as BLACK POLICY OF PRINCIPLE. It's contents were; "C lean lln ese, W holesom en ees, H o n esty, T ru th fu ln e ss and R eapect shall be my policy of principle in all my relationships from this day forward- And I shall communicate this Policy of Principle with a Poetive attitude to ail whom I encounter." Lets practice Cleanllnese, the rewards are pure and genuine. Again, you can t spend your time or money for a better purpose; Join with the Exodus Youth Mental Health Offensive, building our community into a better and safer piece to live and raise our children. ■reughns you M • pu M c »orvtea by H ou w of Exodus
