When Charles ‘Adderley bounded into the office of Supt. Leonard Mack at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas last Thursday with news that ‘“The Sounds of Liberation’’ had arrived, Supt. Mack didn’t blink an eye. Mr. Adderley, a former resident at the in- stitution whose sentence had been commuted in September, wasn’t warning of a prison break-out but of the arrival from Philadelphia. of the musical group ‘in which he plays-- and Mr. Mack was delighted. ‘Charlie made all the arrangements for the band to come out here,” Mr. Mack observed,” and they're putting on this concert for free.” After the concert--which won thunderous. applause and several standing ovations from a cheering audience--members of the band took time out for a quick supper in the officers’ dining room before heading back to Philly and a 10 p.m. engagement. They talked en- thusiastically of their plans for future performances at prisons throughout the state and of the “musical workshops” they hope to. conduct for inmates inside prison walls. ‘The men here for good music,” commented Byard Lancaster, the group’s soft-spoken leader. ‘‘We see it as part of our job to help alleviate that kind of starvation any way we can.” A talented musician who has studied at Shaw University, Berklee College of Music and the Boston Conservatory of Music, Mr. Lancaster explained that the band’s motto, ‘“A Love Supreme,’’ refers to. the “Creator’s master plan for all are starved his people.”. Said Mr: Lan- caster: ‘Because the Black man has traditionally achieved mastery in the field of music and entertainment, we believe it is the Creator’s plan for us to export this ‘product’ to provide enlightenment and energy to all people.” Many of the numbers the band plays are original com- positions, and many emphasize this rather unique philosophy. “Black Awareness’ and “The Creator Has a Master Plan” are two such pieces which were played at the institution con- cert, and both brought down the house. “There are over 2,500 jobs to be had in the music field,”” Mr. Lancaster continued. ‘‘Music teachers, instrument makers, music copiers--hundreds of jobs are available. We hope someday to be able to persuade prison officials to offer job training to residents of the prisons in these areas.” Neighbors from the Dogtown section of Germantown, the six members of The Sounds of Liberation had been playing had cut an L.P. called “New Horizons’ when Charles "Ad- derley ‘heard them play one SPECIAL $1. 00 MONDAY‘S ONLY With This Ad NARROWS CAR WASH SHOPPING CENTER. Edwardsville night in Philadelphia. “I just dug their sound and thought, ‘Hey! I want to be part of that,’”’ Mr. Adderley recalls. An accomplished flutist and vocalist himself, Mr. Adderley had little trouble persuading the other band members to take him in. And when he sensed the group’s altruistic leanings, he had no trouble whatever con- vincing them that a trip to Dallas would prove a satisfying venture. And so it was a homecoming of sorts for Charles Adderley, with many of his old friends expressing keen delight in seeing him again. There was much back thumping and hand slapping, and Charlie Adderley beamed from ear to ear. He'd . promised he’d bring them some ‘good time music,” he said, and he’d kept that promise. Back Mountain Memorial Library has received a new book about printing titled Simple Printing Methods by Jeanne Cross. Print-making is a sophisticated form of art, but the simplest methods are both practicable and satisfying with very little experience. Start with ink and paper, a sheet of glass and a small roller, and ideas for design and color The author addresses this guide to beginners, taking the reader with clear step-by-step instructions from the most rudimentary roller printing to brass rubbings, string-and-felt collage blocks and linoleum cuts. The materials are all easy to obtain and use, and there are plenty of full-color examples and explanatory drawings, including a section on printing from natural objects. ‘Jeanne Cross is a graphic designer whose knowledge and enthusiasm combine to en- courage the reader to use imagination and to experiment with this simple creative art form. A new book about chess has also been added to the shelves of the Children’s Annex. The book is written by Edith Lucie Weart and the name of the book is The Royal Game For Young People. ‘I am the King,’ is the opening of this exciting story of a won- derful game, the royal game of chess. Chess pieces are not just strange bits of wood, but real characters with personalities of their own, who very’ clearly explain what they can and cannot do, and the chess board itself is a real battlefield. Chess clubs for boys and girls are springing up all over the country, as well they should, and this book, the first chess book for children, will fit a long- felt need. Miss Weart has been one of the ranking women players in this country. She never saw a chess board until she was grown, then took up the game with enthusiasm and was active in promoting tournaments for women players. She taught her niece to play chess at the age of seven, and she in turn taught her brother when he wf) ly four. el « 1 T T wk SEE THE WINDSOR AND MANY OTHERS LOW DOWN PAYMENT ln & h EARL L. 477-5890 » SAMUEL 675-5778 EMS 4 HORSEMEN every day.
