' Now is the time to start
making plans for your youth's
, summer camp, according to
Durham County's . 4-H and
Youth Agent, Johnnie Jones,
III. Several factors should be
'taken into consideration before
selecting a specific summer
camp for your youth, he
reported.,
Jones urges parents to seek
information to find out just
how good the camp is: facili
ties, staffing, and programs.
Secondly, consider the daily
routine. A sudden .change in
.life styles may cause. some
youth to feel very uncomfort
able; therefore, creating a weak
environment for a rewarding
learning experience. Thirdly,
find out the objectives of the
camping program. The
camp program should meet the
needs and desires of your
youth. Fourthly, seek informa
tion as to the qualification of
persons supervising swimming
and other water activities.
Jones also stresses the
importance of parent, youth
and staff member counseling
before leaving for camp. Cost
should be the last factor to
consider.

WASHINGTON, D. C. -Long
famous for its football -players,
Grambling University
may some day be better known
as the campus that spawned
Judi Arm Mason, American
playwright.
Judi Ann, a 22 year old
senior in the speech and drama
department at Grambling, .
in Louisiana, was named as '
the first winner of the $2,500
Lorraine Hansberry Award for
the best play on the Black
Experience in America at the
American College Theater Fes
tival. This makes her the first
repeat winner in the nine
year history of the American
College Theater Festival. As
a freshman she won the
Norman Lear Award for
achievement in comedy play
wrighting. The Lorraine Hansberry
Awsrd, instituted this year as
an annual event by McDonald's
Corporation in memory of the
young black writer whose
"Raisin in the Sun" is an
American classic, was among
10 theater arts awards
announced at an ACTF press
conference recently at the
John F. Kennedy Center for
the Performing Arts.
Judi Ami's new play, "A
Star Ain't Nothin But a Hole
in Heaven," is frankly auto
biographical. It chronicles the
agonies of a young black girl
who is breaking the bonds of
the old life in the country to
take advantage of new oppor
tunities for education and per
