8 A THE CAROLINA TIMES Sat August 4, 197S of "whitesronly" clubs was the key. A number of other states lam similar lam and haw been awaiting the convention's actions before considering revocation of their clubs' liquor licenses. , In several other states, the Elks' tax exempt status had been revoked because of their racial policies. DEAN (Continued from front pago) Association of Women Deans and Counselors, serving as chairman of the Education Division, and the National Association of Women Deans Counselors. In addition, Mrs. Robinson has served on the N. C. Textbook Commission and was a member of the Evaluation Team, for junior high schools in North Carolina, of the Southern Association of Secondary Schools. She was one of the chief organizers of the Fayetteville Youth Council, and has served as Fashion Co ordinal or to the N. C. State Beauticians and Cosmetologists Association. She is married to R. P. Robinson, Assistant Professor of Physics at Fayetteville State University . THEOI (Continued from front page) It also criticizes the definition of middle class proposed by Ben Wattenberg and Richard Scam mo n, who co-authored an article in a recent issue of Commentary Magazine which contended that more than half of all Black Americans are members of the middle class. The two authors defined -middle class as being those earning $6,000 or more per year .within the South and $8,000 or more in other parts of the country. By these terms, the League conceded, more than 5- per cent of black families in this country would qualify as middle class. However, Dr. Robert E Hill, the group's research director, noted that the Labor Department's "modest but adequate intermediate living standard" was $11,446 for a family of four last year. On this basis, Hill explained, "only one out of every four black families would qualfy .as middle class." In addition, Hill said, "the black to white family income ratio declined in every region, with the exception of the South." Hill disagreed with Wattenberg and Scammon that black leaders have disclaimed progress made by blacks during the 1960s and contradicted their allegations of a "strategy of silence." "There is no evidence to indicate that the 'facts' about black progress have been withheld from the President," said Hill. "For the same facts ... were cited by Mr. (Daniel) Moynihan (a former White House adviser) in his 'benign neglect' memorandum to the President more than three years ago. ,-, f- "Thus," he added, "it can be argued that the current efforts on the part of the Administration to cut back social programs for low income groups and minorities is due more to its awareness and acceptance of the Moynihan Wattenbery Scammon interpretation of black progress than to the withholding or muting of those 'facts' by black leaders and white liberals." TELEVISION (Continued from front page) by CPB last year on programming, only $542,000 went for black, Chicano and Puerto Rican programs and only $200,000 went to produce programs for the elderly and women," Clay pointed out when deriding the bill in its present form. "Of the 825 hours the network broadcast last year, only 37 hours went for minority programming" A spokesman for the CPB said the copo ration would not dispute Clay's statistics and "we have no quarrel with his stand." And the hiring situation was "far from ideal," but he said it was "improving" each year. The three amendments Clay has proposed have been agreed to by the CPB. In essence, they would require public TV stations to ascertain community program needs the way commercial stations have to do now as part or their license renewal procedure. They would also require more stringent enforcement of Title VII or the Civil Rights Act in hiring and deny federal grants to instructional broadcasting projects until they have complied with the CfvH Righto Act The 1967 CPB bUI forbids discrimination in hirinfSjil i. I pMgcamming. In his letter to fellow representatives. Clay pointed to this survey of 31 public TV stations which showed that of 644 people serving on boards of directors, 46 were members of minority groups and 597 white. Clay was also critical of the corporation's minority programming. "Only Black Journal and Soul, representing a paltry total of 34 12 hours last year, were offered by CPB on a regular basis to serve the black community. WILLIAMS (Continued from front page) into considerat ion when making his decision about the Williams extradition. He pointed out that the legal guidelines for determining extradition are vague and that the decision is left solely to the discretion of the Governor. "Robert Williams' case is no different than any other extradition case before Governor Milliken," Frankland said. "Blacks, Chicanos, American Indians, poor whites, they all claim they can't get a fair ttial because of race bias, income bias, class bias, you name it. It's like saying you can't get justice south of Dayton, Ohio." However, when members of the committee cited the Ben Chavis case and the recent bombing of a Black newspaper office which had taken a stand in support of Chavis in Wilmington, Frankland claimed he had no knowledge of those cases. A committee member said that "It is the responsibility of the State of Michigan to investigate these cases and the charges by Williams that his life would he in danger if he were sent to North Carolina." , Frankland's response was: "Do you really believe that? Things like that may have happened in 1961, but this, is 1973!" Frankland went on to say that "Legal people, lawyers and judges, have a different perspective on the law than do non professional people. The people consider the more humanistic points of the case, while they (the professionals) consider the technical, legal aspects." Frankland did, though, inform the committee of a case where the governor did not grant extradition. A convicted felon in North Carolina had served five years of a seven year sentence, escaped the prison ' and fled to Michigan, Frankland said that Milliken felt "there would be no humanitarian purpose served in sending the man back to North Carolina, that the person was rehabilitated and had paid his debt to society." Frankland's statement indicates that Milliken does use subjective reasoning in deciding whether or not to extradite. "Robert Williams has resided in Michigan for three and a half years, is a homeowner and a taxpayer, and has committed no crimes. Using the governor's criterion in granting, amnesty to others like the convicted felon, Williams, equally qualifies for refuge in Michigan," a committee member siad. "Justice would not be served in sending Brother Rob back. The citizens of Monroe have indicated they don't want him brought back. He is only being pursued because he has been a leader in the struggle for the liberation of Black people and would get a fair trail." GRANT (Continued from front page) USHERS dividing it into four learning sequences. Pre-tests are offered students in each sequence. If the student scores 80 per cent on the preliminary test, he may advance to the next sequence and the next pre -test. He must eventually score 80 per cent on a test in each sequence. Materials used in Ramsey's course consist largely of photographic material mounted in an album for presentation, accompanied by tape lectures by Ramsey. Another home economics course is being improved by Mrs. Paula Mack and Mrs. Gwendolyn Paschall, Duncan said. Video taping is among the procer ures used in that course. Mr. Albertha Pitts, Mrs. Berni e Marsh, and Dr. Marian Thorne of the department of business education are developing a course in business machines, taught by Mrs. Fills, removing time constraints, adding audiovisual media to the teaching process, and establishing a learning center for the course. '' Miss Nancy Pinckney is incorporating slides, tapes, and video tapes into a course in dance. Miss Mary E. Hawkins is working on individualization of a health education course required of elementary education majors. Five faculty members- Duncan, Mrs. Marsh (who acts as assistant director of the project), Mrs. Fitts, Miss Pinckney and Miss Hawkins-will attend a workshop in instructional sign July 30 to August 24 at Michigan State University, Duncan said.

Mrs. Thompson Teacher of Youth 25 Yrs Mrs. Lessie Thompson of 701 Drew Street, Durham, has been a teacher of Primary boys and girls for two and a half decades. She loves "the little ones dearly." And each Sunday morning it is her great joy to gather the children around her and teach them Bible truths. Most classes of the Children's Department suffer declines in attendance at intervals -during the extreme cold months and during summer vacation monthshowever, Mrs. Thompson's classes suffer only slight declines during the entire year. The amiable lady vibrates love and admiration for the children and this could very well be the eky to her success. Except for a short intervals, Mrs. Thompson has always worked with Primaries. During her absence from the children, she was assistant teacher to the Dorcas Class. Here, she served well as teacher and worked diligently with the programs of this well-organized group of "Dorcas ladies." And apparently she was a devotee of these zealots, however, when the Union Baptist Sunday School became acutely short of teachers in the Children's Department, Mrs. Thompson was one of the first to volunteer her services. During a lengthly illness Lessie expressed a deep concern for "my children" and while she was recuperating, she would punch in, if weather conditions were favorable,' to see how my boys and girls are getting along." Deep seated interest the children is another attribute to her success as a Primary Teacher. Job techinalities have hampered her good attendance record, '71-72, but with the aid of Essex Fields, Jr. the Primary Class remains one of the best organized classes in the Children's Department. v. As a bonus for good-behavoir, good--attendance, etc., the Primary Class of the Union Baptist Church was entertained by Cookout held at Duke Park, Thursday, July 19, 3 to 6 p.m. given by their teachers: Mrs. Lessie Thompson and Essex Fields, Jr. "Pete." 53 children enjoyed the goodies served: hamburgers with Mexican Chili, potato salad, lettuce and tomatoes, cole slaw, potato, chips, cheese twists, cookie and fruit punch. Swimming was included among the many games played by children and supervisors: Mms. Willie Mae Fields, Myrtle Haskins, Grace Hyman, Lessie Thompson, Diane Royster and the Bus driver. Hunter Haskins "Miss Pheobe." Marriage is alive and well. In fact In the 60' s there was an upswing in marriages that has led to predictions that by 1980 there will be 53.8 million married couples in our country. FOR YOU!

DISCOUNT CENTER 3 1 67 Hillsborough Rood and Chapel Hill Blvd. next to Marios Phono 383-1 500 or 383-1 509 lift Begte HI By George E Ruas There was nothing sinister in the words that WUI Deal had said, but there was something deadly in the intonation of each one; "you hobo your way over there and III pay your way back." And from where she stood, she didn't like the way his beady, black eyes were flashing like white lightening. So, without so much as a howdy-dooty, she made a bout face and made a bee-line for the front door of the store. Now the hand truck was following her. "In the name of Jesus," she had never made a switch so fast. She could hear Belli cussing, but she could not see or hear Jeff. Turning a man Awn left Jeff Boykins was like turning down a feast on an empty stomach. And she didn't Jave to be told that he was rotten to the core, that, a woman with a grain of sense knew when she was being knocked for a loop, however, there was something fetishist ic about males like Jeff; his type moved the way a woman wanted to be moved; "we meet and the angehj sing;" Miss Madie told herself as she walked toward,' the market section of thJinky building. She wanted to shake Will Deal toe way one shakes the plague. Her reason for shaking "shorty-pants" had nothing to do with right or wrong; she just wanted to " feel free to daydream, think about Jeff, surmise what it was he had wanted with herIf he wanted to make up, she would play hard to get up to a certain point, but not for too long. A man like Jeff didn't hive to fiddle while an old rake like herself did a bit of soul-searching. "Nope," she was no silly nilly middle aged woman suffering from the delusion of having rediscovered the fountain of youth. Her need at this time in her life was av gentleman friend with "gumption," good looks, cleanliness of body and mind, cheerful and self-supporting. Jeff was what the doctor ordered, with the exception of his fickleness. Holding fickleness against a man was asking for heartaches by the bunches. Men were born with roving eyes and a weakness for the opposite sex. That doesn't mean that his. heart.isn't in the . right woman" IftlfW; and, she bid a feeling that all men have a done and only love in his life. Will Deal had next to nothing to say to Miss Madie after the "Hog she had cut," and when she tried to liven things up with repartee, be became sullen as a noonday thunder cloud. Naturally, she felt like ah fool talking to someone who didn't have the "common decency" to do more than grunt, therefore, she clammed up "tighter than- ah-ieech-on-ah-dog's bally." By the time the van rolled across the county line and headed for Bayborough, she was worn out from holding her 1 J mum tMmitM tongue. Will Deal was the first pouting man she had come across since the death of her father. Now that she thought of her father, Will Deal resembled her father quite a bit. Both men reminded her of monkey-paps. That was an unfair thing to say about one's daddy, "rest th' dead," but the truth is the light. The van whizzed along the highway until it neared Philmont Drive, then, "shorty-pants" eased his tiny foot off the gas pedal; "I reckon this is it, Miss Madie. "You reckon what is it?" Miss Madie answered matter-a-factly. Personally, this was it or she was ready to meet her creator. Dullsville wasn't her idea of an evening of fun and frolic. Will Deal was a fool and a grunt if he though she was going to break down and cry because ride tune was running out God was her secret judge, Bayborough Heights had never looked so good to her, younguns 'n all, than it did at this moment Getting rid of gloomy Will was a pleasure she looked forward to. No offense intended regarding Mister Will's good intention when he invited her for a spin, but she had spent more cheerful afternoons soaking her feet and picking her corns. The van came to a stand still in front of Apartment 2A, however, Miss Madie made no move to alight She sat pulling her fingers and listening to the joints snap. She had a strange feeling that something was amiss inside apartment 2 A. Will Deal asked, "cat got your tongue?" "Nope. I am just trying to get my poor self together before I put my head inside th' door of apartment 2A." "I was under the impression that you live alone, Miss Madie." "You thought like Patty dream pt." i i ... XNOW, hub MBOie, you mustn't talk out of school." "They call Miss Madie Perkins th' school." Will chuckled, "you tickle me, Miss Madie. Reckon I'll evah understand you?" "Don't sweat yourself trying to figgah me out -I've tried to figgah myself out and all Fve come up with is swollen eyes from i theteck of steep." - "Go away from here, Miss Madie, you ain't fooling th' champ with your fish guts airs." "Fish gut airs! Well! 'fore my Lord, this just ain't my day." Miss Madie fumed as she fumbled with the door handle of Uie van. "No need running out on me while you're mad. Come on 'n tell me something about yourself-I'll never know you better if you keep jumping about on Indian rubber legs." Miss Madie left off fumbling with the door handle, threw her head back and laughed; "th' still sow drinks th' most slops." -Continued. VEP Plans Our Creator is not Responsible WTlHam Thorpe jj It is difficult to see how things have happened for the best when a fine soldier, son, or daughter is taken. It's also difficult how a person can make the best of such happening. The death of any young person, for whatever cause, always appears untimely. When crime is associated with such a death, when an Innocent little boy or girl is molested and killed by a sex fiend, how can this be squared with any philosophy on earth? Why should a loving, all-merciful God ever permit such an outrage? Those are two questions that impresses me at times during my moments of meditation. .. In my opinion, God in a personal sense has nothing to do With SUCh happenings in OUT every day lives; because if our creator of this universe was such a being as to have had a personal awareness of such a crime and had the power to prevent a little child from being ravished and murdered and did not mstanuy exenuw it, we would probably have to conclude that God, Himself, was evil incarnated. (What about It preachers). If we would put ourselves and our feelings aside for a moment and view humanity at large, we will see that throughout the ages, as now, It has been the injustices and the sufferings visited upon the comparative few which have always, eventually, brought about improvements and protective measures that have helped save many from like injustices and sufferings. For instances, motorists have had to be killed on a dangerous curve, or at an intersection, before authorities were forced to put up proper warning and stop signs, thus saving the lives of many more otherwise potential victims. The shocking change in moral conduct of the young, the alarming Increase in the number of divorces and broken homes, has stirred sex authorities, doctors, educators, business and industrial leaders, and also ministers to give this complicated and highly serious problem number one attention. Now, we might wish in our weaker momenta, that our Creator was the kind of God who would protect us from every unhappy or evil happening and would see w n that we received every heart's desire without any effort or sacrifice on our past But " God were the kind of being who watched over every move we made, and each time we were about to make a wrong move, prevented us from doing , we would perhaps be like a remote controlled device, possessing no freedom of action, no authority, no gjlgaggfy maaw gagjgflBgggaBa BRflraraxlaHH BaHsM Bm - 1 iHJ BggsgHHjEmp. vj Hk idsTm j HEIP s 'f::BHJ iingiP 'IpPs Bfla9!aaV i TOTE BOX Use a basket, box or bucket to carry cleanlnej supplies) from one room to another.

C A D E T H AR VIN UNDERGOING ROTC BASIC SUMMER TRAINING PROGRAM FORT KNOX, JCY - Cadet Kenneth B. Harvin is presently undergoing the 1973 ROTC Basic Summer Training Program at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He will enter the Advanced ROTC Program at South Carolina State College, Services Designed f o Aid Minority Pofitical Workers ATLANTA, GA - The non-partisan Voter Education Project, Inc. (VEP) has announced plans to initiate a comprehensive South-wide system of services designed to give greater impact to activities assisting minority political participation. Since 1962, the Voter Education Project has worked exclusively in the area of minority politics, organizing programs of voter registration, citizenship education, research, technical assistance to black elected officials, and leadership training for blacks and chicanos. The programmatic services will be expanded by an "area coordinator" concept, to be implemented October 1, which will enable the Voter Education Project to pinpoint areas of greatest need and deliver programs based on those local needs. Areas of need will be identified on a regional scale with input from VEP's research department, its area coordinators, and its Board of Directors, as well as minority elected officials and community leaders. Current staff will be incorporated in the new structure. In the past, the VEP has relied on a system of three state offices, youth organizers, and field organizers. Under the area coordinator concept, the VEP will discontinue support Of the state offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Arkansas, while maintaining and expanding services to the constituencies in those areas. The programmatic innovations were announced by VEP Executive Director John Lewis and VEP President, Harry Huge, following an intensive three-day meeting of the staff and board at the Moton Conference Center in Capahosic, Virginia. Basic to the new organizational concent will be an incoming WATS telephone ever, am which will enable Individuals throughout the South to call the VEP office In Atlanta without charge. Thus, VEP will maintain an information service and will be individual power of decision and ability to grow and develop through our mistakes, and in the end, we would have no power to evolve our own souL to build our own future. able to respond directly to requests for assistance and information without the concentration of staff and supplies in large offices outside Atlanta. Mechanical functions will be centralized as a means of releasing more programs for minorities. In the program area, the VEP will continue its work in the areas of voter registration ' and citizenship education. Since its inception, more than two and one-half million black voters have become registered in the South. In the past eight years, the number of black elected officials has increased from fewer than 100 to over 1,200. Expanded program concerns will include the development of additional citizenship education projects, sponsoring seminars to increase the understanding of political power, providing educational devices for examination of relevant issues such as revenue sharing, and the use of existing laws and legal services to remedy some of the injustices and problems which deter minority political participation and dilute minority political strength. Non-Prof it Groups May Buy Under State Contracts RALEIGH - Volunteer non-profit fire departments and life saving rescue squads may now purchase gasoline, oil and tires under state contract Rep. H. M. Mlchaux, Jr., Democrat of Durham said. Mlchaux said the recent session of the General Assembly enacted the measure, which means great savings to the two volunteer organizations. The legislator cited an example of the possible savings. ."Under state contract, regular sea Is around 27 cents a gallon. In our area, volunteer fire departments and life saving crews pay In the neighborhood of 40 cents a gallon. So you can sea the seringa for these t worthwh II e organizations." In addition to gas, oil and tires, the volunteer groups may now purchase surplus state property on the same basis as counties and munctoalities do. Orangeburg, South Carolina.
