(undergraduate) Chapters of
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority during
their Finer Womanhood' Ob
servance.
A native of Durham, Miss
Woods is a sophomore at Win
ston-S a 1 e m State University
and the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James Woods of Durham.
She is majoring in history and
minoring in Black Studies. On
campus, she is a member of

Mr. Wiley M. Davis, a Com
munity Development Specialist
with the Department of Local
Affairs, of the North Carolina
State Government, was the
principle speaker during the
Finer Womanhood Observance.
Music for the Observance
was furnished by the Winston-
Salem State University Choir
directed by Dr. James A. Dil
lard.
Miss Jeanette McKinney, an
undergraduate, presented "The
Lady of the Year." Miss Bettie
Watlington read the scripture
and gave the invocation.
The speaker was presented
by Mrs. Aquilla McCall, the

"Father Knows
Best" Star Seal
Ambassador
Television star Robert
Young has been named Am
bassador for the 1970 Easter
Seal Campaigns which opens
February 23.
Young, who plays a general
practitioner in the highly rated
ABC-TV series, "Marcus Welby.
M.D.," will help launch the
campaign in an 11-day trip to
nine cities. He will be accom
panied by Mrs. Young in visits
to Minneapolis, St. Paul, De
troit, Columbus, Louisville, At
lanta, Ft. Worth. Dalian and
Houston.
The campaign, which con
tinues through March 29, Eas
ter Sunday, is the principal
source of funds for rehabili
tation services for almost a
quarter of a million handi
capped persons served annually
by Easter Seal societies nation
wide.
Young's interest in the reha
bilitation of the handicapped
grew with his starring role in
"Marcus Welby, M.D." Welby
is not the old family or coun
try doctor image," explains
Bob, "but one who is urbane,
well-to-do and knowledgeable
in total medicine.
"Knowledge of total medi
cine and concern for the ulti
mate well being of the patient
must entail awareness of reha
bilitation problems and me
thods," he pointed out.
Easter Seal services and faci
lities which he will visit include
treatment and rehabilitation
centers, sheltered workshops,
clinics, residential and summer
camps, homebound programs,
and physical, occupational and
therapy programs.
After a long and successful
career in films and later as
star for six years in the hit
TV show "Father Knows
Best," Young "retired" for a
brief period. He found retire
ment "too boring," however,
and is glad to be back at his
favorite occupation, acting.

DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA
Congresswoman Chisholm Hits
Maddox's Ax-handles Symbol
Congresswoman Shirley
Chisholm (D-N. Y.) condemned
Lester Maddox, Governor of
Georgia for anti-American and
racist feelings on his visit to
Capitol Hill last week.
"The axe-handle relative to
Lester Maddox, must be seen
as a weapon of resistance to
the United States Government,
and a racist symbol," the first
Black woman to serve in Con
gress stated before the House
following Maddox's antics in
the House restaurant.
The incident to which ••lie
referred occurred durip Mad
dox's visit to the House res
taurant where he passed out
souvenier ax-handles, and got
into a brief exchange of angry
words with Congressman Diggs
(D-M.j '
In her statement to the
House, Mrs. Chisholm ex
pressed herself as being ap
palled that such actions were
allowed to go unsanctioned
"As a Black woman," she
said, "I am dismayed by the
fact that within the Capitol
Restaurant he was allowed to
pass out axe-handles, his per
sonal symbol of resistance to
the orders of the highest court
and the laws of his Congress."
She described the axe-han
dles used by Maddox as in
tended to represent a weapon,
and mirrored the Georgia
Governor's willingness to use it
on any Black person who tried
to exercise their right to follow
the law of the land.
In her denouncement, Mrs
Chisholm challenged her col-

God's word avoids such costly
habits as gambling, smoking
and drinking to the point of
drunkeness, thus one becomes
a better worker, because God's
word encourages us to be hon

this counsel, one's work be

in Durham last week-end, in

question:
"What would your (Con

American display had been
carried out by members of the
Black Panthers, the SDS, the
American Nazi Party or the
Communist Party of America
and the symbolic weapons they
had chosen were toy guns and
not axe-handles?"
In suggesting that many of j
the members of these other j

said she saw no difference
between the hypothethical in

fact that Maddox is a governor.

Youth in Revolt
Says PTA Head
In Magazine
CHICAGO —"We are witness
es to an unprecedented revolt
of youth—a revolt that is al
most worldwide," says Mrs.
Leon S. Price, National PTA
president in the current issue
issu* of THE PTA MAGAZINE.
Reminding the PTA's ten
million members that February
is the month in which local
units across the nation observe
the founding of the parent
l°acher organization, Mrs. Price
recalls PTA responsibilities
' 'hat are as relevant today as
they were seventy-three years
ago when the National Con
gress came into being."
Among the leading protesters
of their time, Alice McLellan
Birney and Phoebe Apperson
Hearst brought a group of peo
ple together on February 17,
1897, in Washington, D. C. A
small, but influential group,
they joined forces to protest
conditions which have a pain
fully current ring poverty,
hunger, disease, illiteracy, and
inequality of opportunity.
This protest, though unmark
ed by noise and violence, be
came one of the most success
ful efforts of all time. Not
only were children freed from
child labor and other forms of
exploitation and oppression,
but there was a beginning of
an awareness of children's
needs and an understanding of
individual differences.
Mrs. Price points to the Wi
as a decade of both the re
volt of youth and of slackening
adult authority and responsi
bility. She readily admits that
many of youth's grievances
are justified—that many adults

Highway Patrol
Nabs 1 Out of
12 NC Drivers
RALEIGH - More than
320,000 Tar Heel motorists
were arrestc !on some 340.000
traffic law violations by the
State Highway Patrol during
1969, according to Patrol Com
mander Edwin C. Guy.
The number represents
slightly more than one out of
every 12 drivers licensed to
operate a motor vehicle in
North Carolina.
Speeding violations com
prised more than half of all
charged made. Guy said most
were traveling between 65 and
75 miles per hour when de
tected. More than 17.000,
however, were charged with
speeding in excess of 75 miles
per hour.
More arrests for drunken
driving were made in, 1969
than in any previous year
The number arrested on that
charge - 25,317 - represented
the second largest single cita
tion category for the year.
Although arrests for speed
ing and drunken driving re
flected the Patrol's announced
policy of placing emphasis on
these offenses, records com
piled by the Patrol showed that
increases were registered in al
most all categories of traffic
law violations. The 1969 total
! for all arrests was two per
cent above the 314,000 moto
rists charged in 1968.
Total fines and bond fore
feitijres amounted to more
than $5 million - an average
of about $16.50 for each per
son tried during the year.
As of January 1, 1970,
more than 50,000 charges
brought by the Patrol had not
been brought to trial or were
pending court appeals. About
40 per cent of these outstand
ing cases were the result of ar
rests made in December, 1969.
Many cases, however, were as
much as 12 months old. A
large number of the lingering
cases, according to the Patrol
Commander, involve charges
for which drivers could have
their licenses suspended or re
voked.
