Title 111 Trains
Indians for Employment
by Herbert H. Loddear
In a concerted effort to
bridge the gap between em
ploment for Native Americans
and the skills required to
obtain that employment. Title
Three, Section 302C of the
Comprehensive Employment
Act is still one of the most
viable resources. Administer
ed in the Baltimore area as
part of the Mayor's Office of
Manpower Resources, that
section of the Title III Pro
gram for Native Americans, is
headed by Mrs. Ramona Cil
Bentley, Lumbee. Mrs. Ben
tley has been the analyst for
the program since January,
1977.
When funding for job skill
training of Native Americans
became a possibility in 1973;
the Indyui Center in Baltfe
more applied for prime spon
sorship. The program became,
a part of the Baltimore
Consortium in 1976.
According to Mrs. Bentley,
the program has assisted
"several hundred" Indian
people since its inception.,
One hundred and seventeen:
persons have benefited from
the program this calendar
year, Mrs. Bentley ^informed.
The Title 111 Program con
sists of several components
including on-the-job training;
skill training and until recent
ly, Public Service Employ
ment. It is the only employ
ment training program in the
Baltimore area designed
specifically and exclusively
for Native Americans. "Train
ing opportunity in this pro
gram are varied," said Mrs.
Bentley. Some of the voca
tional career fields chosen by
candidates include Nursing,
Computer repairs. Clerical
fields, and Culinary Arts.
Ramona Bentley, former
student at Pembroke State
University, shares one of the
highlights of her experience
with the program was the
Youth Conference held in
Washington. D.C. at which
she and some of her program
participants were invited. A
side from their meeting with
several political dignitaries, a
conference was held on the
White House lawn.
Mrs. Georgeline Sparks,
-Sioux from South Dakota is
the Program Counselor. Mr.
Arnold Palmer is Supervisor.
Mrs. Sparks awaits her next

The Home Choir end the
Prayer Bead rendered special
music on Sunday morning.
The Prayer Band W a group
along with Bro. Robert Lock
lear. goes into the homes of
the sick, hospital,
etc. each Thursday and Sat
urday night and has prayer
service with different indivi- i
duals who are shut ins not .1
able to attend church. To me
there is nothing they could do
any better.
The pastor spoke briefly
from John 13:1-8. De we think
ot how Jesus laid down his life
for us? Greater love has no
man than this. He would love
for us to love as he did. After
which we observed Holy
Communion (Celebration of
the Lord's Supper).
Miracle Sunday this Sun
day, the climax of three
months of prayer. Rev. Steve
E
Jones will be bringing the
message. We want 400 *
Sunday School. We are plan
ning on a big dinner together.
Good singing right after our
Uroch at the church. 1 do hope
w?e have a fine day together.
The revival is in full pA>
gtess this week, souls being
salved, hearts being made to
rejoice. I believe the saving of
souls is 'the greatest of all
miracles. For that is life's
most important issue.
The speaker this week is
Rev. Johnny Hunt fro in Wil
mington. He is such a talen
ted young man. His church
choir will be with him Thurs
day night. 1 know they are
realy proud of him.
The Grace Gospel Singers
from Gastonia (formerly of
Robeson) will be with us
Saturday night beginning at 7
p.m. Preacher Itfike will
- the week tec i?
but in out community, etc. A
auwwf itii^ti U tnwnlnnKL# in
gooa pastor is mvaiuaoic in
time of need.
A Urge group from due
area spent the weekend in
Gatlenburg. Tenn. They re
potted they had a wonderful
trip.
Please remember our sick
ones. Bro. Herbert Lockiear. a
wonderful member of our
church. Mr.Stantley Lockiear.
Mr. Monson Lockiear, also
Mr. Grant Maynor and the
family and ties of Mr. Eutie
Wilkins who lost their grand
children Monday morning by
an accident of the school bus.
This was written due to an
accident lately in which I got
offended.
Aa It Goes
Are we to help only those
who deserve it? If so, how do
we determine who they are?'
Is this the way the gospel
works-only for the deserving?
When Christ gave his life, did
he offer it only to those who
deserve it? How many people
are Christians because they
somehow qualify? Who is
good enough to receive the
love of God? Think!
Those we offer wood to this
winter deserve to be warm as
much as anyone else. Their
morals, their attitudes, their
behavior do not enter into the
picture. What we respond to
is their need to be warm.
Their need to survive the
winter is as important as ours.
Listen-our call is tohelp who
ever needs help and let God
decide if one is more worthy
than another.
DEEPEST SYMPATHY
My deepest sympathy
Igoes out to my cousin, Mrs.
Leacie Brooks, in the loss of
her only son, Mr. J.C. Brooks.
I know you are going through
some dark hours, but what
ever life shall bring your way,
through each and every fleet
ing day, throughout the mon
I
Heaven be with hii dasrl
sisters also. -'
J.C was a friend. Hi*9
him so well will always be 5
remembered. <
LETS KEEP THE fi
RECORD STRAIGHT Q
1 am extremely glad that
Lacy Cuminings and Ranald
Hammonds were elected to 3
the LjlEMC Board of Direc e
tors on Tuesday evening, Oct. *
19. Those were two of my ^
favorite candidates. 1 believe <<
that it is a step in the right ?
direction for the consumers. It H
is my hope that both these 2
gentlement will keep contrite g
hearts and work for the g
members. I hone that they ?*
won't take SI00 just to sit in a 5
meeting and do nothing while S
so many people are on
disability and can hardly pay
their electric bills. 1 hope
these gentlemen will stay in
touch with the needs of the
consumers. Those electric
bills are hard to pay for many
people. I have one question
for these men. Will you speak
now? .
