NCBA Announces Second State Prisons Forum On Saturday, August 25 the North Carolina Black Assembly (NCBA) will sponsor its second Forum On Prisons. The all day Forum is expected to get under way at 9:00 am at Durham College on Fayetteville Street in Durham. The first forum on prisons was held in March of this year. Its purpose was to identify major problem areas in the prison system especially as they effect the Black prison population. It was. decided at the first Forum that a second forum should be held designed to work out solutions to the most pressing problems for Black people in prison. The NCBA feels that his Forum is necessary and timely. Although the Social Rehabilitation and Control Secretary has recently announced major reorganization within the prison system, there is still a pressing need to continue work toward assisting the Black prison population. Attention will be focused on the classification process, health services, lack of uniformity in rules and regulations and the enterprise system. Like the last forum, Black prison staff at all levels, inmates and ex-mates and interested people from the community level from across the state have been asked to attend. High ranking Black prison personnel have committed themselves to participate in the August 25th meeting. DECORATING A LA AMERICANA Everybody likes getting ready for a birthday party and preparations for the upcoming bicentennial, of the United States are already in view. In decorating.your home, the easiest way to add a touch of Americana is to use the eagle motif, in subtle touches, like finials atop lamps and clocks, on bathroom towel racks and shower curtain hooks, as brass pulls and han dles. Stencilled decorations on chair backs and drawer fronts is another road to instant-Americana. Or color schemes of red-white-and-blue; fabrics like calico and denim. You can build a look of Americana around the re newed popularity of the ma hogany slant-top desk, built along the masculine lines of the Gov. Winthrop style, or to a more lady-like scale in a Queen Anne version complete with intricate turn ings and cabriole legs. For the bedroom,, you can get on the four-poster band wagon; or go with the heftier hall and boll bed, with can nonball posts, in a large room, you can use the tra ditional double-dresser. Use a chest-on-chest or a tall highboy in smaller quarters. For authenticity, make all your hardware solid brass and the furniture itself of oak, maple, cherry and birch, the handsome native hardwoods which gave the originals their charm and Black Mortgage Companies Are Complete Failure - FNMA Head Appointed New Consumer Contact Bobbie Jean Hill has joined U.S. Borax as manager, Home Economics. 20 Mule Team Department, it was an nounced hy Jack Kerr, mar keting manager of Household Products for the Los Angeles-based mining and man ufacturing company.

In fact, it is a matter of time before the correct amount of political savor and organizational ability will certainly produce a Black mayor in Durham. However, the present most potential candidate leaves much to be desired. If we look at the failure of this endeavor in the last Mayoral election, some credence can be given to my statement. In the first place a non-white surface who had nothing to disagree on with the white and winning candidate. In fact, in a debate they would up congratulating and praising each other. The second, and most serious factor was the fact that the candidate ran an Ego-Centered campaign. At no point did he talk about we the Black community or how we can work together to solve problems that we have. The candidate chose to run on his own Ego and to virtually ignore the major sector of the Black community, the working class, the low income, welfare mothers, young people. This man ran solely on the I-Me kind of politics. Elect me because of who I am, because of what I do and did In the business world Because 1 am me 1 can do this and I can do this. Let me be your mayor so that I can add another position to my list of accomplishments that bear my name, which has some kind of value of its own. Because of this mistake in understanding this character lost by about 1500 votes. The tragedy of this situation is that there were enough uninterested Black people who went fishing or stayed away from the polls to have elected a Black mayor. This is even more shocking when we look at the poor competition that came from the white candidate. What is interesting today is that this same near-sighted nonwhite individual is considering running again. As a Black writer, I can only hope that he has learned a lesson If he is still unwilling or unable (because of his busy schedule) to walk in CornwaUis and talk in Hoover Road, or kiss a baby in McDougald terrace or eat some supper in Edgemont. Unless Durham's potential Black mayor is willing to speak to the reality of the Black masses then forget it. Durham does not need a nonwhite (or maybe Black) man who is just like Jim Hawkins, we don't need somebody who can't find anything about Jim Hawkins to disagree on. We don't need anybody who is so much like Jim Hawkins that the only difference it skin color. There is more to being Black than just a difference in appearance. If there is to be a Black mayor then certainly he must bring part of the difference in being Black in America. For this will be the challenge of the latter 70's and the 80's In the cities and the urban areas of this country. If anybody can solve the problems of the cities then Black mayors can or at least provide the spark to get somebody else to do so. For this a Mack mayor must be more than an egocentric nonwhite who ha nothing to disagree with or no bones to pick, no battle no difference of approach and everything in common with Jim Hawkins but skin , or so be leads us to believe. LOS ANGELES - (NBNS)-Black-owned commercial banks and the black business community were sharply criticized by the president of the Federal National Mortgage Association for contributing to the almost complete failure of black mortgage banking companies. Oakley Hunter, president of FNMA, told the predominately black National Association of Real Estate Brokers, that the three-year effort to help black mortgage companies was unsuccessful partly because black businesses failed to keep deposits in those banks. "There is some evidence that until black people have confidence in themselves and each .other to a greater extent than in the past there will be no permanent, lasting solution to the problem of black poverty in the United States," Hunter told the group. In the 1970 annual report of the FNMA two, pages are devoted to a new program undertaken by FNMA and the Ford Foundation to assist a limited, number of minority businessmen wanting to get into the mortgage banking business. "It was Fannie Mae's first venture in the sponsorship of a minority entrepreneurship program. Born of high hopes and lofty ideals, our program had both social and economic objectives geared to the correspondent (minority bankers) themselves and their communities. "Today, the program is in disarray. Four of the original minority loan correspondents sponsored by Fannie Mae no longer have a business relationship with us, and all out one ot tne otners are having a real struggle for survival." One of the reasons for this, Hunter said, was because black mortgage bankers "overestimated their own abilities as businessmen and underestimated the amount of hard work and study it would take to make the program; succeed. "Some apparently believed that all that would be needed would be to order a telephone, open the front door and the money would come rolling in." At the same time, Hunter pointed out that his agency "apparently underestimated that committment that would be required to make these minority businessmen succeed not necessarily in terms of dollars alone but in terms of the time and manpower that would be required." The relatively small volume of deposits in black banks, Hunter emphasized, "must be laid to the failure of black people to support black banks and regret to say - also to the failure of black banks in some instances to support black people. "It is not common for a black businessman who has saved at a black bank during the early stages of his business to switch his money to a larger bank when he finds his business thriving and his profits accumulating.' beauty. Oak's varied grain pattern gives it a. rustic quality reminiscent of the country's youth. It is marveldusly in tune with patch-work quilts and hand-embroidered sam plers on the walls. It has a masculine quality. . Maple and cherry both have even grain patterns and an inherent refinement that make them ideal in the home. Maple is actually heavier than cherry, giving it a more solid heft than cherry, but both are strong woods. Birch, a gentle buff color with an occasional hint of red in it, is used especially where strength and hardness are needed, such as in cabinets, hutches and break fronts. In the early days, people went no farther than their own backyards to cut down these trees. But today, the supply of native hardwoods is kept plentiful through the careful planning and modern technology of the hardwood lumber industry, it takes 20th Century know-how to keep these 18th Century styles in your home.

Peggy finally confesses to Jackie but assures her that she is not going to be involved and that she and Charlie will not even go to the show. Jackie puts Peggy at her ease- putting on a minstrel show today is not a put down of blacks but is in the category of folk-lore and nostalgia. In point of fact, Jackie volunteers to stage the minstrel show since she has done one in college. Ferguson at first is reluctant to take part but finally comes around. Jackie, like most directors, has a touch of Otto Preminger in her and Charlie, Peggy and Ferguson do the usual amateur actor temperament number. By the time opening night arrives everyone is back to talking to each other and go off to do the minstrel show with Ferguson in white face as a last minute substitute for the master of ceremonies. jfct, fcpt. 8, WIS HMPs.

"Thunderfist" Set For Opening in Major Cities Artisan Releasing Corporation, an independant distribution company, has set their Hong Kong Kung FuKarate film, "Thunderfist", for a Detroit opening in September, it was announced by J. LaMont Johnson, president. In 1972 Johnson formed Filmethics International, a Black distribution company, which was brought together to make films dealing with the Black experience. The company was forced to fold due to withdrawal of financial support by his Black investors. Johnson states, "The one single cause for my reorganization stemmed from the lack of integrity on the part of my investors. I had their full backing and then they withdrew, without prior notification or explanation, leaving me to field the flack without support." Johnson went on to say, "Artisan's sole purpose is to distribute films which are entertaining and have strong appeal to general movie-going audiences." Herb Honis has been appointed Marketing Director for the company. Honis is a former United Artists roadshow man working out of New York. He planned and directed the advertising, publicity, and promotion campaigns as roadshow coordinator of "Fiddler on the Roof," with .the responsibility of planning, scheduling and budgeting the newspaper, radio, and television campaigns for each market.

Way down at the very tip of the North Carolina Coast, beyond the Green Swamp, right near Corncake Inlet, there's a tiny little fishing village. It's called Calabash It's so small it's just a dot on the map. But if you love seafood, served up plain and simple right from the ocean, it's worth the search. Because little Calabash has seven teen of the greatest seafood restaurants in the world. Honest. The whole world. They're all family places that have been around for years. They all bring in the catch fresh every morning. They're not too fancy, maybe. But in any one of them you're I i n.

With big, plush hotels and boardwalks and everything. And it's just a few more miles from the lonely, beautiful Outer Banks. Where the high dunes stretch as far as you can see. Where the surt comes tumbling in all the way from Spain. And where you can get a secluded little seaside cottage and. forget about the world. See all of your state this summer.
