Old Couple
Is Robbed
By 3 Men
STATESVILLE An elderly
husband and wife who operate a
grocery store and service
station on Amity Hill Road
about nine miles southeast of
here in Iredell County told
sheriff's officers they were
robbed at gunpoint by three
black men yesterday.
Mrs. E. W. Blackwelder, 79,
who with her husband, 83,
operates Blackwelder's Store,
told officers that the three men
drove up to a gasoline pump in
front of the store and asked for
gasoline.
While she was filling the tank,
she said, one of the men went
into the store and put a gun
against her husband's head and
asked for all the money in the
store. Her husband, she said,
handed him about SIOO from the
cash register. The three then
drove away, she said.
Blackwelder is. a semi-invalid,
and had been released from a
hospital only last week after
treatment for a stroke.

MRS. JOSEPHINE TURNER
THE CITY NEVER SLEEPS
The 3rd week in November
is City Week. A time for tak
ing time out to observe the
progre*B of our fair city; a
time for bringing into sharp
focus our outreach and our
shortcomings; a time to ap
preciate the truly wonderful
things that have been achieved
over a period of years; a time
to be goaded into doing some
thing for the good and welfare
of its teeming thousands; a
time to evolve to a higher
degree of though* action -
latching on to the positives.
We talk of the evils that
lurk within the cities; of heart
trending poverty; rising unem
ployment; drugs, dope, sex
orgies, assaults on women and
children, widespread venereal
diseases; strangulations in the
breadbasket; yet, aside from
being terrified by our thoughts
of tomorrow, we have little
more to offer than fear of
what evils lurk in the hearts of
men, women and children.
The city is many things to
its many people. Perhap6 this
is one of the reasons the city
is not a forest, a field, a quiet
village - The city never sleeps.
The city is many square
miles of industries, schools and
colleges, churches and teeming
thousands of people: the good,
the bad and the indifferent;
builders, destroyers; the well
fed, the hungry; the skilled,
the unskilled; those who fight
for survival and those who find
drifting from pillar to post a
better way of life. Therefore,
the city must fight to survive
regardless of ita homogeneous
masses of thinkers, handicaps,
onslaughts of every descrip
tion: night cries of misery,
rape, dope, crime and a long
list of retardants to the over
night UTOPIA the city might
become if there were no pover
ty, crime, drug abuse problems,
racial strife or ecology to over
shadow its blueprint of a city
without soul-scars, Nor would
there be any need for dedi
cated persons to push up their
sleeves and try with all their
might to keep the city on, at
least, a hopeful even keel.
Mrs. Josephine Turner needs
no introduction to Forum's
area readers. The Black First
Lady of the North Durham
section is a city dweller who
not only senses the downbeat
in the pulse of her black peo
ple; but, she does what she can
to alleviate misery wherever
she can.
Josephine was born 'n bred
for the most part, in North
Durham; she knows the heart
breaks of black people; their
hopes and feard; the causes
and effects of their indigence
upon the community. She per
sonally knows the wantoness
of being "on the wagon."
There was a time when the
lady was an alcohdlic. As she
says it," I was once a wretched
sinner but I am saved by the
grace of God."
Experience is one of our
greatest teachers, therefore,
Mrs. Turner can speak with
confidence that God is alive
and will restore to the fold all
who are willing to pay the total
price that Krama demands. The
Laws of Compensation are
fixed and only the stouth
earted can reach a point of
no return and return "made
new." She has returned to
help others who have taken the
wrong fork of the road. She
personally knows the parents
of many of the youth who have
become victims of drugs,
crimes and vices. She has been
a witness to the tears and out
pouring of these parents for
help for their children who
were on, and eventually found,
the road to moral destruction.
"Miss Josephine" demonstrates
her feelings through positive,
succint action. She is a Chris
tian woman, therefore, she will
pray with and for you in your
hour of distress; generosity is
a packaged deal with her, she
gladly shares her worldly
goods with the "needy"; the
lady loves and works feverent
ly for her Union Baptist
Church, however, she enjoys
moat of all moving with the
action if it is designed or de
signated for the good of the
entire community.
Mrs. Turner is Manager of
Chicken Box No. 3. She might
give orte, the imprevion that
she is "a hard-boiled" business
woman - business across the
board; nevertheless, she is the
people:s friend. Once you talk
with her, you will discover that
beneath the veneer of "all
buniness" is the heart of a
"good Christian woman." And
a wonderful mother: Mrs.
Jacqueline Burch; Lawrence
Lee, Cashier at Broadway
Super-Market; Thomas Allan;
Durham High School -- Carrier-
Boy for Durham Morning
Herald; Alana Ena Turner,
2nd Grander at East End School
