The , name adopted by the Associa tion encompassed the thinking that anything done to improve the com munity would be an im provement for Durham as well. Since its inception, (he Association has worked to improve street lighting, recreation facilities, security and other areas which affect residents. Long before a dog leash law was adopted, this was a concern for Old Farm residents. Working in coopera tion with the Public Safety Department, the Associa tion conducted a program of painting house numbers on the curbs in order to make the houses more easily identifiable in emergency situations. Out of a concern for youth activities, a Boy Scout troop was formed under the leadership of community resident Milton Glenn. The Association envisions ex panding youth activities if they are successful in ob taining a community meeting facility. Due to the concerted ef forts of several Old Farm residents, there are now swings, a shelter and toilet facilities at the Old Farm Park. The Old Farm Associa tion has become politically aware and was instrumen tal in revamping the 23rd Precinct so that they could have voice in the processes that affect them. Currently,' the group is in the process of in stituting a Neighborhood Watch Program, with the assistance of Investigator R.Z. Long, Jr., Depart ment of Public Safety. They are ? also working with other groups to assure that a branch library is located in the Riverview .Shopping Center. From its inception, the Old Farm residents have been aware of a need to in teract with the residents of River Forest. One of the goals this year is to establish more com munication with that com munity. ' The Executive Commit tee of the Old Farm Association for the Im provement of Durham meets monthly and a general meeting is held quarterly. The next quarterly meeting is scheduled for May 1 at Fire Station Number 6 on Duke Street. All Old Farm residents are urged to at tend. Highlights to be discuss ed at the meeting include plans for dedication of the Old Farm Park to be held on May 26. The Old Farm Shindig scheduled for June 30 and the Neighborhood Watch Program. Sgt.

And all indications are the situation will get worse unless ef fectivp hearing conservation measures are adopted. This is the observation of I he Beltone Crusade for Hear ing Conservation. Sponsored by Beltone Electronics Corp oration, world leader in hear ing aids and electronic hearing test instruments, the crusade is dedicated to building public awareness of the need to reduce the amount of avoid able hearing losses. As part of its program, the crusade has prepared a 12-page guide to hearing conservation. Entitled, "How You Can Conserve Your Hearing," the booklet is de signed to help the average person protect the hearing ability, of himself and his family. Based on the premise that exposure to excessive noise levels is the major cause of hearing impairments, the booklet explains hearing con servation measures that can be followed in five common environments. They are at work, in re creational activities, at home, in highway traffic and in a typical -community. Also in cluded is a 10 question quiz that could indicate a person might have an undetected hearing loss. Single copies of the booklet are available without- cost from participating indepen dent, authorized Beltone deal erships or by writing the crusade at 4201 "West Victoria Street, Chicago, 111. 60646. By Joe Black ON JUMg 31, i.'L. fAHACHUISP FHo4 I0CO FCCT Who is Joe Black? Who writes that stuff he talks about in his commentaries? He ain't no brother because he doesn't even deal with racism. I'll bet he doesn't even live in the ghetto, so he can't know nothing about Black folks. Those are some of the responses that "By The Way" receives from the Black Community. Well, if the taunts of race-haters in the stands, or ballplayers singing "Old Black Joe" in-the dug-outs, didn't make me lose my cool when we were integrating baseball more 'than twenty-five years ago, then those negative comments won't make me stop in my attempts to provoke Black people to use the minds God gave to them. Yes, the Lord is my shepherd and as long as one Black voice says to me: "I am seventy-four years old and I was born and raised in Georgia; therefore, I didn't get to go to school full-time. But, thank God,' I had Christian parents and they taught us the Golden Rule and also to respect ourselves and others. It grieves me to see the great change in so many of our young people ... for our race of people have a better chance now than we ever had but unless there is more concern shown in the ones in our race, instead of going forward they will find - themselves going backward. The Vqhes that are guilty of stealing, snatching pocketbooks, smoking ;,dope may wake up too late to cfind out that they can't make it -that way." You may rest assured that as long as one voice calls out for help, I shall continue to challenge Black people to get our heads out of the proverbial sand.
