This no -cost, no- nonsense folder from the National Minority Purchasing Council is the best connection to minority suppliers a corporate purchasing agent could have. It will give you access to a computerized directory of more than 8,000 minority venders- where they are and what they supply, along with data on plant size, service area, and sales volume; credit and customer references; plus a narrative description of product lines, special features and areas of concentration. The National Minority Purchasing Council is a not -for -profit corporation formed to promote increased purchases from minority - owned firms. Chief executive officers of about a thousand major corporations are involved and actively support the Council's efforts, with predictably practical results. Purchases by member corporations from minority suppliers are up from $86 million in 1972 to $700 million in 1976. This year our goal is a billion dollars, and we've only just begun.

And I know how important it is that they know the folks back home stil care. That's why, for nearly 40 years, the USO has been around the world providing a world of services. Angie Dickinson For nearly 40 years, USO has been our serviceman and woman's `best friend" and the place they turn to when a problem develops. Whether it's a family crisis, a feeling of being lost in a new town or country, or just a place to relax, USO is always there.

One glance at the map on the wall of the Budget Tapes & Records office in Denver reveals the vast- ness of the Budget chain of stores throughout the American Midwest and West.

In fact, the intent was to locate in them, often where the owners themselves were born and raised. These communities had been frequently missed by the mainstream giant malls and superstores and radio stations. But, there was still a market for contemporary music in the small towns, and Evan Lasky opens Budget became a natural outlet. the convention. Also, the smaller communities have provided excellent starting grounds for people interested in opening their own retail record businesses. Although many of the owners never had business experience before, Budget's Lasky family -Phil, Evan, and Jay -were ready to help the potential store owners get started.

SOCIEDAD GENERAL DE AUTORES DE ESPAÑA (General Society of Spanish Authors) WORLD -WIDE HOMMAGE TO MAESTRO MORENO -TORROBA, PRESIDENT OF S.G.A.E. AND ALSO OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS.

Maestro Moreno -Torroba is acclaimed by the audience at the premiere of "EL POETA" and he bows on the stage. HIS OPERA "EL POETA" ( "The Poet ") Photo: Gyenes AN IMPORTANT EVENT AND QUITE A HIT.

The series of hommages that all along the year of 1980 have been paid to the illustrious Spanish composer Maestro Moreno -Torroba had its climax in the Theatre of the Fine Arts Circle in Madrid where he received three albums containing about three thousand signatures of v.i.p. people in the field of Arts, Literature, Politics, Music and from all the social lay- ers, as a tribute to one of the most universal Spaniards. Maestro Moreno -Torroba develops a manifold activity other than his normal music composition, conduction, etc. He is at the same time the President of the Spanish Society of Au- thors (S.G.A.E.) and President of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He is as well the composer of the music in zarzuelas so well -known as " LUISA FERNANDA", "LA CHULAPONA", "LA CARAMBA", "MARAVILLA ", " CONCIERTO IBERICO" and just added recently the Opera "EL POETA" that had its pre- miere in the Theatre of la Zarzuela in Madrid with a major cast led by Plácido Domingo. The hommage and contributions to it, which are still ar- riving at S.G.A.E. have been led by the words and signature of His Majesty King Juan Carlos I. Unable to extend his appreciation for the endless tokens of affection received from all over the world in a direct manner, our President wants to convey through these pages to every- body his everlasting gratitude on this occasion. Maestro Moreno -Torroba, President of S.G.A.E. receives from the President of the Fine Arts Circle, the sculptor Mr. Juan de Avalos, the three albums with the signatures of contributors to his hommage.
