Murphy, president of the Miller Brewing Company, annouced last week an agreement to steer $53.5 million of the brewer’s annual operational budget into minority employment, business enterprises, and charities. “The agreement” Murphy said, “is wholly consistent with our policy to expand the employment and other economic opportunities for Blacks and non-whites in all parts of the United States.” Rev. Jackson asserted, that with this agreement, Miller acknowledges the role of Black and non-white purchasers in maintaining its strategic position in the market place and potentially improving that position. “As a significant part of the agreement”, said Murphy, “Miller will establish a management intern program with Black colleges as a further contribution toward the development of Black industrial leadership in the nation.” He emphasized that B 41 tent.on !!!

MUSIE VIEWS and news STEVIE WONDER-FUL Hr ■ Among the more impor tant reasons to celebrate this month is “Innervisions,” the 14th and possibly finest al bum to emanate from Stevie Wonder, whom many con sider the single most creative individual active in the music world today. Beyond being Wonder-ful, “Innervisions” is a sure-fire bet to be on every body’s Ten Best list for ’73. It’s been 11 years since Stevie came into hearing dis tance with “Fingertips,” and every single and album since has signaled progress, musical exploration and discovery, the soulful riches of a singu lar artist. Here, again, Stevie has written, arranged and performed all the songs and produced the album. Truly, a man and his music. And, “Innervisions” (Tam la T326L) is a treasure of individual songs, such as a glorious “Golden Lady”; a re markable ballad, “Visions”; the telling “Living in the City”; and the funky “Higher Ground,” the single release, which talks about people moving ahead in love and in life. Hail, Stevie Wonder, 22 and aging with a taste that blesses only the richest vin tage wines. NOTE(S)WORTHY The Motown music factory has generated another stock pile of LPleasure in addition to Stevie, including Diana Ross’ “Touch Me in the Morning” album (Motown M772L). It contains (of course!) the single by that title, which raced to Number 1 on the best-seller charts and Gold Record status as quick as its beautiful production could get there—faster than fast! Diana can do no wrong. Catch “4 Tops” (Motown M764D), a two-record collec tion that keeps together all the greats associated with this glorious group (e.g., “Baby, I Need Your Loving,” “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” “7 Rooms of Gloom”), as well as “Smokey” (Tamla T32BL), another miracle of a collec tion by the man who does ev erything right, Smokey Rob inson.

Wolper Production* is bringing to the screen under the banner of Columbia Pictures THE ARDREY PAPERS, a probing, sensitive and frequently alarming documentary drama inspired by three books written by noted anthropologist Robert Ardrey-“The Social Contract,” “African Genesis” and “Territorial Imperative”. Written for the screen by producer-director Walon Green and research specialist Diane Broughton THE ARDREY PAPERS covers five important stages of man, beginning with the man-ape who became a hunter and continuing with homo erectus, the territorial man who developed rudimentary homesteading; the Neanderthal man,who survived the ice ages by dwelling in rock shelters and cooking by fire; Cro-Magnon man who shaped the genesis of modem human culture; and 20th century man. THIRD FILM BRINGS OSCAR Joanne Woodward, who stars as a woman confronting an acute emotional crisis in her seemingly stable, middle class life in the Columbia Pictures release, SUMMER WISHES, WINTER DREAMS, won the Best Actress Academy Award for her thrid movie, “The Three Faces of Eve”. Since then, she has established herself as one of America’s most versatile and talented actresses, winning an Academy Award nomination in “Rachel, Rachel”. SUMMER WISHES, WINTER DREAMS, a Rastar Production which also stars Martin Balsam and Sylvia Sidney, is produced by Jack Brodsky and directed by Gilbert Cates, with screenplay by Stewart Stem. DEBUTS AS A COUNTESS Teresa Graves, a onetime favorite on Rowan and Martin’s “Laugh-In” television series, makes her motion picture debut in a starring role, playing opposite one of filmland’s biggest stars. She appears as Countess Dracula in VAMPIRA, a World Film Services Production for Columbia Pictures, and international motion picture star David Niven plays the role American Mobile Homes \ HIGHWAY NO. 1 \ 3336 DEANS BRIDGE RD. fir BEA _ 7 safeM® loi©ta@ /g g«s|y owner/ x x / / \ Free Set-Up Free Delivery \ \ 100 Miles / \ /OFFICE PHONE 793-7711 \ HOME PHONE 279-9105 Pilgrim Opens New District Offices H 111 I J Wjfiß l HWPIMI'WI' r t HMMR Il u & k i.. : ( Be nflK wk f yW* 'HI Baa-r # Hoti Wr \ Mr ; wl 11 1 J iMI ri ? • ■ i x. - IB J ... idarx of Count Dracula in the color, wide-screen film produced by Jack Wiener and directed by Clive Donne, from an original screenplay by Jeremy Lloyd. A unique mixture < comedy and horror, VAMPIRA describes the hilarious and macabre adventures of Count Dracula in present-day London when he becomes heavily involved with a string of beautiful girls, as well as many other off-beat characters. YOUNG AND TALENTED Otis Young, who stars as a Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy with Jack Nicholson in THE LAST DETAIL, an Acrobat Film produced by Gerald Ayres for Columbia Pictures release, says he enjoyed his five years in the U.S. Marine Corps, despite obvious racial obstacles during that time. Otis joined the Marines at the tender age of 16. “There were not many Blacks in the Marines in those days and they told me I was acceptable but would have to be a steward’s mate,” he recalled. “When I found out what that was about, I said no. Then they got me to take their entrance test. Well, I got 97 out of 100 questions right and that gave the Marines a problem.” Finally, he said, “they sent for me at 7:00 a.m. a month later and I was made a rifleman. I was the first Black marine to go through the Parris Island boot camp. Up to then, all Blacks had their own special camp at Montfort Point.” ‘WAY WE WERE’ UNITES, REUNITES Columbia Pictures ‘THE WAY WE WERE’ & Rastar Productions’ teams for the first die first time two of this generation’s most important screen stars in Barbara Streisnad and Robert Redford. The poignant live story about the relationship and subsequent marriage of two people with totally different life styles and philosophies Sans the late 1930 s through e early 19505. Based on the best-selling novel by Arthur Laurents, the film re-unites producer Ray Stark with Miss Streisand, who has starred for him and Columbia Pictures in “Funny Girl”, his first film (for which she won an Oscar as Best Actress), and “The Owl and the Pussycat”. Redford is one of the world’s most sought-after actors, starring in several plays on Broadway and re-creating his starring role in “Barefoot in the Park” for movies. He has starred in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” with Paul Newman and, among others, in two films for his own company, Wildwood Productions, “The Downhill Racers” and “The Candidate”. DINO CREDITS LATE PUBLISHER Dino Shorte, who appears in the much talked-about CRAZY JOE, a Dino De Laurentiis Presentation for Columbia Pictures, credits Ralph McGill, The Augusta News-Review - October 18, 1973 - ■BHBHBHB ■■■■■■ MHfe »■ rn Bl ’ i win w ui w , ra I 1 14.1 TLJ r ' ' p< .

SEED FOR EVERY NEED LAWN, GARDEN AND FIELDS IMKINS SEED CO. 1129 BROAD 722-5322 INTRODUCING NEWS IN THE MOTHER TONGUE For Black people, the mother tongue is the same all over the country. It’s the unique way we have of expressing ourselves. That’s one of the reasons the National Black Network saw the need for a national Black news service. What do we call Black news? It’s simply news reported by Black people, edited by Black people, and affecting the lives of Black people. That’s the National Black Network—a vital communications link between Black communities everywhere. It’s a bet that when you listen to an NBN station, you’ll know where it’s coming from. After all, it’s carrying your news. National Black Network Division of Unity Broadcasting Network, Inc.
