WEED CONTROL
A "pretty good" job
of weed control may not
be good enough. If you' re
controlling 90 percent of
the weeds in your crops
or garden, the 10 percent
that is left will produce
stalemate at best. For
example, one plant of the
lambsquarter weed will
produce 72,000 seed. One
rough pigweed plant will
produce 117,000 seed.
The parasitic witchweed
can produce 500,000 seed
per plant.
fEWER FARMS
.The U. S. will have
about 2.1 million farms
by 1985, some 700,000
fewer than now, the
latest official projection
indicates.

We can expect a number
of problems to arise where
Black teachers are concerned
within the next few months.
Aa of July 1, 197S the North
Carolina Teacher Tenure Law
becomes effective. What this
law in effect says, teachers
can no longer be fired without
substantial reasons. Reasons
that must be clearly spelled
out
I expect to see a lot of
Black teachers terminated
soon. The other actual effect
of the law is that until July 1
school offic ials can use the
old arbitrary dismissals to
week out many Black teachers.
The only redress to this kind
of action is usually through
the courts which can be diffi
cult given the present laws.
All teachers will become pro
bationary teachers on July 1,
those rehired will become in
some instances career teachers,
a more stable and tenured em
ployment situation.
It is quite clear to me that
white administrators do not
want Black teachers to teach
white children. In many areas
of this state and the nation
we have seen the number of
heretofore competent teachers
decline with a direct relation
ship to their race or skin color.
What is most indicativ e of
racism is the fact that while
Black teachers are being dis
missed white teachers are be
ing added.
Hopefully the new tenure
law will give our teachers more
flexibility and certainly more
courage of conviction. Pre
sently most teachers are silent
because any activity would
put their job, their career on
the line. This situation should
change as teache rs -become
more secure in their own status
as professionals. This should
lead to a stronger desire to be
heard in community affairs,
which this writer welcomes.
On the other hand there will
always be individuals who lack
courage of conviction. Un
fortunately they will no longer
be able to blame it on their
contracts.

There's nothing like the great indoors,
A fully equipped 1973 Volkswagen
Campmobile lets you feel at home
in the great outdoors because it lets
you bring along all the comforts
of home.
Curtains, reading lamps, paneled
walls, closets, storage bins just
about everything there is.
Even the kitchen sink.
And the kitchen table, an icebox,
and over four gallons of cool drink
ing water.
They're all right there when you're
ready to eot.
When you're ready to sleep
there's a full-size double bed for
you, another bed and hammock for
the kids.
And lots of elbowroom. i
But if you want even more room,
pop up the fiber glass top. Presto. A
child's bedroom wiih cot and natura
air conditioning.
For even more room, attach the
tent to the side door and you've got
a comfortable living room complete
with floor.
There's even something comfort

It will get you there fast, so you'll

Ronnie Dyson Aids in Artists' Newfound Stardom
Ronnie Dyson has always
been within a fingernail of
total national stardom.
I It almost happened for him
in "Hair," the first Broadway
play presentation of the new
counterculture. The tune
"Aquarius" was written
especially for him. And
though he was remembered
for his rendition of the song
(which turned out to be re
corded by countless others),
the significance of the play
itself somewhat overshadowed
his individual performance.
It almost happened for him
with "(If You Let Me Make
Love to You) Why Can't I
Touch You?" The tune prov
ed to be a major hit, but
there was no immediate follow-up
single with the same
strength to maintain the mo
mentum of the artist.
It even almost happened
for him with his recording of a
Pepsi Cola commercial (sure
you can hum it, can't you?),
which was probably his most
"commercia 1" tune to date
(no pun intended).
Now it appears that "al
mosts" are ready to be thrown
out the window. Known to
be a great stage act, Dyson
now has a catalyst which will
possibly bring him the success
and credit he so rightfully de
serves - producerwriter Thorn
Bell, and one hell of an album
(and single), "one Man Band."
"I feel very good about
the new product I recorded
with Thorn Bell. He's
probably the hottest producer
in the world today," stated
Dyson, still possessing the
same baby face which gleamed
throughout his two-year hitch
with "Hair." "His writing
partner, Linda Creed, also
helped a great deal with the
album. Not only did she co
write four of the tunes, she
re-mixed six songs which were
recorded on other sessions.
They're both dynamic
people."
On having a record climbing
the music charts for the first
time in quite a while, Dyson
exclaimed, "It feels great. But
I knew it was going to happen
because of Thorn Bell and
Linda Creed. They made me
feel really comfortable, and
the songs were right. I just
felt it had to happen."
Born in Washington, D.C.,
Ronnie and his family moved
to Brooklyn when he was a
year old. Coming from a very
religious family, Dyson began
singing very early. And, at
age five, he entered a local
talent show at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music. Singing
one of his favorite tunes,
"Why Do Fools Fall in Love?"
Ronnie discovered singing be
fore an audience really did
things for him, and he wanted
to pursue it more.
And his number one fan
was his mother, who was in
strumental in Ronnie receiving
his first break. "She use to
work for a telephone answer
ing service," he remembered
"and took messages for people
in show business. One day
she took a message from a
person who was in the process
of moving a play on Broadway
and was looking for young
actors who could sing. She
told the man of Ronnie's
abilities, and the nan in return
asked her to bring her son
down for rehearsals the next
day to try out for one of the
parts."
Alcoholism is
Discussed In
The Christopher
NEW YORK - "Alcohol,"
the current issue of Christopher
News Notes which will be mail
ed this month to one million
readers, examine s alcoholism,
the number three killer in the
United States.
"Alcohol" discusses the na
ture of this addictive disease,
signs that may indicate a per
son is becoming alcoholic and
ways in which alcoholism, once
detected, can be treated. The
news Note maintains that there
is no simple solution to what
it calls "a national health prob
lem of crisis proportions":
"It's easy to blsme the pres
sures of modern life for the ris
ing rate of alhol addiction.
But ultimately, alcoholism is
a personal disease and requires
a personal decision to seek
treatment."
The News Note points out
what family members and
other interested persons can
and cannot do to help the
problem drinker recognize his
situation and decide to seek
help.
"Alcohol" was prepared in
close cooperation with the Na
tional Council on Alcohol and
other experts in the field. The
News note also reflects the
position of Alcoholics Anony
mous that alcoholism cannot
be cured but only arrested:
"Treatment is built around the
ability and willing ness of the
alcoholic to stay away from
the first drink."
Single copies of "Alcohol"
are available, free of charge,
from The Christophers, 12

Colonial Stores Report Record Sales for Quarter
ATLANTA - Colonial
Stores Incorporated, 445-store
Atlanta based supermarket
chain, today reported record
sales for the first quarter of
1973, but announced that
earnings were below those for
the same quarter of last year.
Ernest F. Boyce, Colonial
President, said that despite a
substantial rise since January
1, retail prices have not kept
pace with the rapid increase
in wholesale prices and other
costs.
"We have had to absorb
many of these increases, and
as a result our profits are less
than they were a year ago,"
Mr. Boyce explained.
The Colonial sales and earn
ings figures were disclosed in a
quarterly statement which
publicly owned corporations
are required to make under
regulations of the Federal Se
curities and Exchange Com
mission. Sales for the 12-week quar
ter which ended March 24
were $175,443,611 compared
with $166,365,975 in the com
parable 12 weeks of 1972, and
earnings were $1,890,821 vs.
$2,017,361 in 1972. Earnings
per share of common stock
were $.43 compared with $.46
in the first quarter of last year,
based on an average of
4,330,033 shares outstanding
in 1973 and 4,313,726 shares
in 1972.
