BRENDA PARKER
VOLUNTEER FROM ROCKY MOUNT
As Birthday Present To Herself
She Applied To The Peace Corps
On November 12, 1971, her
22nd birthday, Brenda Parker of Rocky Mount,
N. C. decided that she very much wanted to
join the Peace Corps. So, as a special present to
herself she mailed in an application form.
As a result, right after graduating from
Bennett College in Greensboro the following
June, she was on her way to teach school in
The Gambia, West Africa as one of ACTION'S
Peace Corps volunteers.
The Peace Corps is the overseas volunteer
branch of ACTION. There are about 7,600
Peace Corps volunteers serving in 61 developing
countries.
Brenda, daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Lemond
Park of 1560 Springbrook Drive, Rocky Mount,
says that being accepted into the Peace Corps
and going to teach in Africa was fulfilling a
dream she had had for a long time.
For her first assignment she was sent to
Pakalindmg, a village of 800 in the upper region
of the Gambia River. There she worked as a
science teacher at the Pakalinding Junior
Secondary School. In addition, she was the
physical education teacher for girls and a
guidance counselor.
Females were an obvious minority at the
school Out of 160 students only 17 were girls.
Brenda was the only femal on the staff, which
brought up a special problem:
"Whenever we had snacks at school," she
recalled, "since I was a woman I was expected
to cook all the food in addition to doing my
regular schoolwork. I voiced my opinion that it
should be a shared responsibility since I, too
was a full-time teacher. Only after many
discussions of the matter did the men
reluctantly settle for a rompijmise,"
But, on the whole, Brenda did not encounter
many problems or have to deal to a great extent
with cultural shock.
"There was no real cultural shock because
during Peace Corps training I was close to the
Gambian support staff. I visited their families
and got oriented to the Gambian society before
I ever went up-river. When I arrived there was
very little adjusting I had to do to my new
environment"

Human Relations Director Blasts Durham's Apatity
Says President's Housing
Jordan
Message Dismal Ksappointment
The Presidents housing
message is a dismal
disappointment to low income
and minority families, Vemon
E. Jordan, Jr., Executive
Director, National Urban
League, said today. Mr.
Jordan's complete statement
follows:
"The Administration had an
opportunity to give the nation
a badly needed comprehensive
housing program. Instead, it
produced a watered down
non-program. The Congress is
now our last resort.
Although the
Administration is partially
lifting the moratorium on
Section 286 it is on a severly
limited basis, for less than
enough to meet demand. The
Administration talks about a
urogram of direct cash
assistance but It's not to be
instituted until 1975.
"In addition, it is not clear
that the Administration will
insist upon counseling as an
adjunct to the program and,
without consoling, it is doomed
to failure. Worst of all, we have
enough experience with
housing programs generally to
know that speculators will find
some way to 'rip off direct
cash assistance just as they
have, 'ripped off other
programs.
"In the final analysis, since
the proposal effectively
scuttles our national goal of 26
million new units and six
million subsidized units over a
ton year period, low income
families will receive less than
previously contemplated if the
Administration's housing
formula Is implemented.

In a hard tutting speech.
delivered at the September
meeting of the Durham
Branch, NAACP, September
23, Joseph W. Becton,
Director, Durham Human
Relations Commission, took
the organization to task for an
out moded program; the media
for printing half truths;
Durham citizens, of both races,
about an apparent apathy that
could wipe out the few gams,
made in human rights, and
restore the city to the depths
of racism that it was to before
the civil rights legislation, to
the fifties and sixties.
He chided the NAACP for
not training younger persons to
replace the present leaders, so
that when they passed off of
the scene, the program would
mot suffer, for the lack of
experience. He called for all out
support of the onjaatoation
and said that it was the torn
