UA THE CAROLINA TIMES Sal, Sept 8 1978 TfceMidnigWSpe - To Bring Black Music to Many Burt Sugar man's The Midnight Special" which airs immediately efter Johnny Canon's The Tonight Show," Friday nights on NBC-TV, continues to present an incredibly wide spectrum of popular music. The rock and roll sound of the 1950s and 1960s, folk, country-and-western, blues, the English-rockers and especially black and soul music have all found a place on the 90-minute series which reflects the musk scene today. "We were merely after the best talent available for our shows," relates producer director Stan Harris. "And it turned out that a great deal of that top talent happened to be black. "As soon as our ratings and demographic information began to come in, telling us who was watching our show, we discovered we had a huge black following," continues executive producer Sugarman. Sugarman and Harris learned that not only do they have a large black audience but that it is an affluent one which spans a wide age range. The Midnight Special" has mmm out to be practically "the only game in town" for many of today's popular black performers, not only as guests, but as hosts of their own 90-minute Special. Black superstars taking over the host chores during the past few months have included Ray Charles, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Johnny Nash, Chubby Checker, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Curtis Mayfield and Rchard Pryor. During the months ahead, Curtis Mayfield and Gladys Knight will repeat as guest hosts as well as Billy Preston, with such featured guests as B.B, King, Sly and the Family Stone, Wilson Pickett, Johnny Taylor, Bobby Womack and many others. "Although there have been some great strides made in the past few television seasons in br'inging more black entertainers to the medium, there are still not enough platforms for black performers," Harris states. The Midnight Special" fc produced by Burt Sugarman, Inc., and aire every Friday night oyer NBC-TV. A Baby Sitter Selecting And Training. CUMraa's Bureau Frederick C. Green, M.D. , Office of CUM Development, U.S. Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare Whether you are going out for the evening or are hiring a baby sitter to care for your children all day while you are atrwork, the same care and attention should be paid to her selection and training. We have all read frightful and frightening stories about the tragic consequences of having a negligent baby sitter. Your children's lives are, quite literally, in the sitter's bands. They should be the best you can And. And even if you are fortunate enough to find a responsible, competent person to care for your children, it is vital that you give this person thorough and detailed training about how YOU want YOUR children eared for. Even a highly ex perienced sitter will need to know the specific do's and don'ts which apply to your children. In fact, the ex perienced, seasoned sitter will be the first to start asking you Basically, there are three ways to go about finding a setter: Formal advertisements, agencies and "word of mouth." In the case of persons contacted through advertisements, either placed by you or the sitter, you will have to do the most checking. Even before you personally interview the prospective sitter, you should ask for a few references to check. In checking references you should introduce yourself, state the reason for your call and then make specific inquiries along the following lines: ' During what time period was the sitter employed? Was she consistently prompt, reliable in showing up when expected, neat and clean and in good health? . a Did she smoke while oh iuty? Did she always appear alert and well rested? Was she able to cope, physically, with the demands of the Job? In the case of older children, did they report liking her and finding her a good companion? 4 In the case of infants, were they always well tended, dry and clean upon the parents' 01 mother's return? What were the financial arrangements? In checking references, you might also inquire if the person you are talking with knows df anyone else who has used the sitter's services. It Is often quite revealing to get the report of someone whom the sitter has NOT given as a reference. The purpose of the interview with the prospective sitter is to find out as much as you can about the person's background, experience, abilities, attitudes and personality. All of these attributes will affect how she cares for your children. She might be technically proficient in child care but have beliefs about discipline or conduct which would make her totally unsuitable in YOUR household. This is particularly important in the case of the full time or all day sitter. Try to draw her out and get a real feel for what kind of person die is. Remember, she's taking your place when you step out the door. If you use a reputable em ployment agency to find a sitter, a good deal of the checking and screening will have been done for you. But don't let that stop you from being Just as thorough and detailed in your interview with the candidate. Also, be sure to ask the agency how many references they had and how these responded. You might also ask the agency for a English Potters Set Up Shop In New Carborundum Museum of Ceramics Borne 16 English potters and their families have emi grated from England to Niagara Falls, New York where the potters will demonstrate the making of authentic 15th century style bone china. The highly skilled potters will work in a 'mini-factory" in the new Carborundum Museum of Ceramics which will open at the end of May. These demonstrations are just part of the many at tractions in the museum that will fascinate the whole family. Steel blades for carving sets and hunting knives will be ground and finished in an on-site exhibit. A 200 satt theater will be the showcase for a film presentation that helps tell the story of the development of bone china ia 600. And on display will be many unique and genuine pieces of ceramics dating as far back as 7000 B.C. right mw the space-age uses of ceramics. tar something different in museums, plan to visit the Carborundum Museum of Ceramics in Niagara Falls. mm &SBbnB aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I il? .Jit 14 M m trm m V"i aaaaaaawP1 9 jwhbbI bsV mJMBmw - aaal mm 1 aaaaalBSBs Does favorable tax treatment on capital gains benefit-Jmuf Even if you don't invest in lin stock market, the answer i, Equitab1" -nital tains taxes encourage individual investors to funnel money to industry.

If someone has been recommended to you by a friend or relative this, of course, serves as a reference. But don't stop there. Get other references and check them out and don't stint on the interview even if your best friend has made the recommendation. The health of your baby sitter is of vital concern to you. Even if she appears fine, she could have a disease which could be transmitted to a member of your family. Most local health departments have a system whereby persons can be examined and issued a "health card" which declares them free from communicable diseases. This is generally a free service. If your baby sitter does not have her own physician who can give her a "clean bill of health," have her get a "health card" or send her to your own family doctor. Remember, she'll be feeding and handling your children.

''tflmflfW Progress will meet its crucial test when citizens go to the polls on Saturday, September 8 for the MUNICIPAL BOND REFERENDUM. Highpoints in the planned program consists of taking the $12 million in General Revenue Sharing Money and stretching it to $27 million in an attempt to meet Durham's most pressing Capital Needs and NO INCREASE in our present 10 cent property tax for debt service or to pay off the bonds. Durham's Program For Progress has been approved by City Council and is seeking to provide these improvements which would benefit the most citizens, as well as a number of non-deferable needs. Six major areas for upgrading and improving include Parks and Recreation, Throughfares or Main Traffic Arteries, Fire Training Facilities, Residential Streets, Water Extensions and Sewer Extensions. Approval of the bond issue would provide for 131 additionable acres of park land as well as improvements to most of our present parks. Recreational facilities would be greatly increased such as new tennis courts, new basketball courts, more softball and football fields, more play areas and more equipments and more shelters and additional community MMit Throughfares represent main traffic arteries which alio act as thruways and Interconnectors for high traffic streets and State highways into Durham. In the planning stages are adequate highways to serve the new hospital under construction. Training facilities for firefighting personnel are woefully lacking. The proposed Fire Training Center would provide a continuing program for both new and experienced personnel. Space and equipment offices, training Sent tr aaw- .8 facilities for both dwelling and industrial fires, spill fires, fuel storage tank f aires, automobile fires, airplane fires just to mention some. The Residential Streets proposal would go a long way In providing paving for the remaining unpaved streets. Approval of the Residential Streets proposal would assure Durham of approximately 420 miles of paved streets. Lesser year round maintenance expenses and increase in both air and solid waste pollution would be possible. Blacks Comprise 35 of July Army Recruits Report Reveals WASHINGTON - (NBNS)- The Army failed to reach its recruiting goat last month for the sixth consecutive time since the draft was abolished last January. However, blacks comprise about 35 per cent of those who did enlist, a figure which is proportion of the population. the Army also noted that the proportion of recruits with low intelligence scores increased to 31 pfer cent in July, the highest figure in the four year period for which records were readily available. The Army met only 76 per cent of its goal, the Air Force met 101 per cent of its goal last month, the Navy 97 per cent, and the Marine Corps 92 per cent. The latter three branches of the armed forces also showed an increase in the number of black recruit,;;, who made up 31 per cent of all recruits last three times the black4 month, compared to 18 per cent in June. Of the rising number of black recruits, Lt. Gen. Robert C. Taber, the Pentagon's manpower head, said last month's figures were "an aberration" and that the Army is not interested in race but in men who are capable of doing the job. RALEIGH - Most retired military personnel have only a month left to decide whether to participate in the new Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP), according to Fourth District Congressman Ike Andrews. "Under this plan, better known to some as the 'Widow's Equity' legislation adopted by Congress, every military retiree may leave his surviving dependents up to 55 percent of his mUitary retired pay" Andrews said. "Apparently, because of the: complex provisions of SBP arid possibly some uncertainly over the fairly nominal costs of this annuity plan, only about, one-third of those eligible had enrolled in SBP as of the middle of June," he continued. All military retirees who were retired prior to Sept. 21, 1972, were given one year to decide on this program, and for them the enrollment period expires on Sept. 20 this year, Andrews said. "Some of my retired military friends tell me that SBP is an excellent and inexpensive program of protection for their spouses and eligible children, and I would urge all retirees who have not yet enrolled to give it serious consideration," he said. The Siler City lawmaker said that applications for enrollment can be made on DD-Form 1881 or by personal letter witnessed by an adult who is not a beneficiary. DD-Form 1881 can be obtained at any military facility. I "The application - DD-Form 1881 or personal letter - should be mailed to the military finance center of a retiree's branch of service.

He also finished third in the NCAA College Division Regionals at Salem, Virginia. Reeves was to begin his fifth year at the helm of the Bronco cagers, having had his best year in 1973 when his squad won 21 games and lost 11. A native of Tarboro, and a graduate of Shaw University, he was an all-time athletic great at the institution having participated in football, basketball, baseball and track. A fine football guard, he was a member of Shaw's 1947 CIAA Champions. Many sports observers felt that after last year's performance by the FSU cage team, Reeves was destined to become one of the all-time great collegiate coaches. Twice Reeves was chosen "CIAA's Most Outstanding Tourney Coach". He gamed these honors in successive years, 1972 and 1973. In the 1973 CIAA Tourney, Reeves guided his squad to its first Tourney Crown beating Norfolk State College in overtime, 94-89. Under Reeves' tutelage, the Bronco basketball squad entered their first post-season small college NCAA playoffs when they played Eckerd College, Old Dominion University, and Loyola of Baltimore. The Broncos fared well in the play-offs defeating Eckerd College, 95-66, losing to Old Dominion University, 80 74 and crushing Loyola of rtfttimqre, 81:66.; The Tarboro native was a member of the Marine Corps from 1950-53 and was selected to both the All-Marine and All-Navy teams. One of his teammates was the late, great Charles "Big Daddy" Lipscombe, who later went on to professional stardom with the Baltimore Colts and Pittsburg Steelers. Reeves played against the Los Angeles Rams for the Armed Services team during this period. Reeves tutored some of FSU best athletes during his tenure at the institution, some of which have gone on to stardom. Mike Sneed, former All-CIAA forward went to Kansas City-Omaha Kings of the NBA in 1972 while AU-CIAA forward Terrence Murchison, a 1973 star, was drafted by the Carolina Cougars of the ABA. In the last two seasons at Fayetteville State University, Reeves posted a 42-23 record. At Conetoe (NC) where he was head basketball coach prior to coming to FSU, Reeves won six district championships and made it to the state finals twice. Several of his players have gone on to college fame. Cliff Black, an AU-Carolinas Conference selection at Atlantic Christian College for the past two years was one of his most famous high school products. His Conetoe teams won 90 games and lost only nine during the five year stretch, 1965-69.
