—THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1971 8B IPUL 'Soul' Returns to PBS With Expanded Format "Soul!", public television's black entertainment -culture series, begins its fourth season this fall with an expanding format that will include ballet, drama, and at least one pro gram produced in Puerto Rico. The primary goal of "Soul!" remains as it always has been, according to pro ducer Ellis Haizlip: "to enter tain, involve, and above all to educate people - all people - to the social and cultural awareness of the black com munity." Another innovation for "Soul!" this season will be the on-location taping of an entire show. It will be done in Puerto Rico with Puertoricanos Carla Pinza and Carlos Cabiya as co producers. Drama is also on the agenda and, if resources permit, "Soul!" will present for the first time a full-length play - Ron Milner's "The Warning: A Theme for Linda." Throughout the season "Soul!" will continue to fea ture guest hosts, and among them will be Imamu Baraka, poetess Nikki Giovanni, singers Jerry Butler, Smokey Robin son, and Novella Nelson, Minister Louis Farrakhan (Na tion of Islam), song writer Nickolas Ashford, South Afri can entertainer Letts Mbulu and comedian Richard Pryor, as well as Haizlip himself and "Soul!" writer and associate producer Alonzo Brown.

Can I com plete the studies necessary to get a high school diploma at my age, while holding my job at the same time? Thousands of people do it every year, people 30 years and older. In an Arizona town there's a new attorney a woman who had been a high school dropout about 25 years ago. She went back to college a few years ago and earned her law degree at age 40-plus, supporting hereelf and a teen age son all the time. To qualify for a good-pay ing job today you need to have a nigh school diploma or its equivalent, plus specialized training. There are several ways to do this while continu ing to work full-time in your present job. One good possi bility is home study. Several accredited home study schools offer courses that lead to a diploma and also prepare you for a skilled job. You can ob tain information about these courses from the National Home Study Council, 1601 18th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20009. Request a free copy of the "Directory of Ac credited Home Study Schools." ' Find out if the high school in your area has night classes. Perhaps you live near a voca tional-technical school where you oould earn a high school diploma in its adult education program and leam a skill or trade, too. No matter which of these you decide to follow to get your diploma, a modest in vestment of time and dollars will be required. But it is an investment that should pay you dividends every week for the rest of your working days. ELLIS HAIZLIP Haizlip cites the example of author Sam Greenlee, whose book "The Spook That Sat by the Door" was selling poorly until Greenlee appeared on "Soul!" The book is now in its third printing. A number of black stars made their first TV appear ances on "Soul!", most pro minent among them Melba Moore and Roberta Flack.

A spokesman said the Titian painting, which was not identi fied, was aparently too large to carry. Countess Livia Bianchi Per domini said burglars robbed her home at midweek and again Saturday, taking small paintings by such artists as Silvestro Lega, Telemaco Sig norini and Mancini. She said the paintings were worth about $320,000. Art thieves took a Titian painting and 13 other Renais sance works in two separate major burglaries last month. Police recovered all of the paintings. Group Will Seek School Closure Leaders of Forsyth Citizens Against Busing said yesterday they will ask the city-county school board to close schools here and return to a neighborhood school system. But it appeared immediately that their attempt will fail. Roger Swisher, mayor of Kernersville and a member of the citizens' group, told more than 200 people at Clemmons Civic Center yesterday that the organization has offered its help to the schools to move fur niture, books and students "back the way they were last year." Swisher and John Redding of Clemmons said the group will attend the school board meeting Oct. 11 to make its plea in person. But John C. Kiger, chairman of the school board, said last night that the board could not convert to last year's operation without court approval. "The orders say the schools have to be completely desegregated," he said. He said the school board will get a hearing Oct. 15 on a petition to vacate the local desegregation order. But he said it is "evident the schools are going to stay the way they are for some time." The school board has voted to keep assignments as they are until a final ruling is made on the desegregation suit, he said. It is doubtful they could be changed even if the order were vacated, since such a decision would be immediately appealed. Desegregation Suit Kiger noted that the suit, the Catherine Scott desegregation suit, has been on appeal to the Supreme Court since August. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger has denied a delay of desegregation, but the court has It's a "long distance" problem. Don't pay for mistakes. A billing mistake can happen, we'reonlyhuman. We don't expect you to pay for our slip-ups. In When one does it's probably on a long-distance fact, we don't want you to pay for your own mis toll call. For example, part of a number might takes either. If you place or dial a long-distance get reversed. Say someone calls Nome, Alaska number incorrectly tell the operator right away. from 564-1234.Then, man or machine slips up She'll give you credit. and records 654-1234.

Swisher claimed yesterday that the school board "sur rendered to a shadow" in adopting a plan for cross-busing this fall. He said there has been no specific order for cross busing here. Kiger agreed last night there has been no cross-busing order as such, but accused Swisher of "playing on semantics." The orders have never been for cross-busing, he said, but for complete desegregation and this makes the busing necessary. Statements Backfire "Leaders like Roger Swisher need to start examining their statements pretty carefully," Kiger said. "A lot of people respond to irresponsible state ments, and that backfires on the community." William F. Maready, past chairman of the school board, said it is "a difficult time to be putting out false information." He said Judge Eugene A. Gordon ruled in July that there could be no less integration here than in Charlotte, where complete integration was re quired last year. Kiger said the board has done "everything in its power" to head off cross-busing here. But he said it will not break the law. "There is no success apart from legal success," he said. Swisher warned the citizens' group yesterday about th e danger of busing and the long hours for children, then helped lead a protest march to Clemmons Elementary School and back. It was the second protest march the group has held, but the first in Clemmons. The march included a bus on which was written, "Please stop taking my child away in this . . ." The bus was followed by a borrowed hearse with the BVbil 3 A f lg |jj H n X ' MdJk _ j&s rmt- ~ : 1 IhfiH Kg liflH a v ?a >xv '. * I I MsjjjjjL QmM B~~ — H ~HH HHP HRbBBMMBBHBRIMBBHBMBHL S P« FIRM WINS SILVER ANVlL— Seymour and Lundy Associates of Detroit has becom* the first black public relations firm on rec ord to win the Silver Anvil, the top honor of the Public Relations Society of America.

Earlier in the meeting Swisher told the group that cross-busing will lead to a breakdown of family and community identity and could even mean children "being taken away from their families."
