One ofour managers:

What are
his views on loans?

At the Bank of Montreal, we
consider every. loan application on
its individual merits. We want you
to get your money's worth.

Dick Filliter:

“Last year, | met-a businessman
ona local golf course and he asked
me about a loan for a car. But. when |
he came to see me, he’d changed his
mind. He wanted a boat instead. So
| arranged a combined loan and sav-
ings plan for him. Now he owns both
a new Carand a sailboat. The money
was within his grasp — he just didn't
know how to organize it.”' :

TERLACE HERALD, TERRACE B.C.

ex president

Good-bye Satchmo...

. NADINE ASANTE

Louis Armstrong is dead.
Pops, Satchmo Armstrong has
lipped his last note but as his
music will be long remembered
so wil Armstrong the man,

The notes he coaxed from his
golden trumpet were second to
none. As singers go there are

many who surpassed him.

But Satchmo was more than a
jazz impressario, a singer. a
trumpet blower, he was a
tradition, Libraries of his
records are treasured by jazz
buffs of most nationalities of the
world,

Although many of them were
unaware of it, while people
loved him not only for his music
but also because he salved their
conscience. It couldn't be
possible that blacks in the
States were so downtrodden
when a poor black boy from the

‘ghettos of New Oreleans could

rise to entertain royalty and
presidents. He was living proof
that a black man could ascend
to the heights of fame,

The white population
didn’t suffer the agonies of
being refused accommedation
by countless hotels in countless
cities as Louis was because of
his bla¢k skin. But instead, of
prejudice imbittering
Armstrong he shrugged his
small frame and travelled as a
goodwill embassador selling his

country around the world,

Armstrong's heart was large
enough to transcend the color
bar...or he rose above caring.
He didn't held his white fans
responsible for the altitudes of
white toward black society, He
poured his heart out for his
white fans in clubs and theatres
for -most of his seventy- one
years,

But it was with his own soul
brothers that not only his heart
but his whole being flew from
the golden horn.

Satchmo visited Ghana, in
West Africa after conquering
London in 1956. He was met by
thousands of adoring Africans
at the airport in Accra, the
capital city, He held out his
arms lo Africa and shouted
“I'm home". For a week he

played the blues indoors and out ©

to the people who had fathered
him and fathered the blues.

He bought land in Ghana in
the beautiful Aburi hills and
intended to build there when he
retired,

He said in Ghana that he wo-
uld never feet the same’ man
after being in a country where
the black man was king.

Armstrang may be gone but
to the millions of fans who
mourn his passing, his music
and his courage have touched
their lives forever.
