The heads of national black women's organizations af filiated under the umbrella of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc., (NCNW), have issued a call to members of their organizations to become direct members of NCNW. "Every-member-a-member" is the theme of this intensive drive. " The drive follows an earlier consensus by these organizations to work together in a national collabora tion for children and youth. The collaboration will work ' to turn around unemployment, teenage pregnancy, and school dropout statistics. Thisxall to action comes at a time when unemploy ment among black youth is rapidly increasing; when the 38 per cent unemployment rate for girls is the very highest of any group in the population. The figure is compounded by the high incidence of teenage pregnan cy arid parenthhood. One dollar of each direct member ship received through the "Every-member-a-member" drive will be earmarked to support the National Col laboration for Youth. Miss Dorothy I Height, national president of NCNW, remarked: "The collaborative efforts of black women throughout the country to insure the survival and Quali ty growth of the black family reflect renewed deter mination to live the legacy of Mary McLeod Bethune, NCNW's founder". In her last will and testament, Mrs. Bethune wrote: "I leave you, finally, a responsibility to our young people". "Black women know", Miss Height said, ' 'that it takes action to translate the expres sion of unity into the reality of power". The national leaders calling their organizations to participate in this drive include: Ms. Barbara K. Phillips, Supreme Basileus, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorori ty, Inc.; Mrs. Peola McCaskill, National President, Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc.; Ms. Elnora Lane, President, The Chums, Inc.; Mrs. Rosa Stanback, National President, Continental Societies, Inc.; Mrs. Thelma Daley, National President, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; Mrs. Gloria -Chapmon, National President, Eta Phi Beta Sorority; Mrs. Nettie Smith, Grand Exalted Daughter Ruler, GranH Temple, Daughters of Elks; Dr. Fredda WitherSpoon, National President, Iota Phi Lambda Sorority; Mrs. Inez Ander son, National President, Ladies Auxiliary of the Na tional Dental Association; Ms. Venice Harvey, National President, Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority; Miss Audrey Randell,; National President, Las Amigas, Inc.; Mrs. Earnestine Stoyali; & .National Presidents Nationals Association Of Fashion ikfimeirtw ninpr!

Called "the Progenitor of the Peace Corps" by Presi dent Kennedy, Crossroads is a non-profit, non governmental organiza tion which has sent over 4300 participants to 34 African countries since 1958. "Crossroads is bas ed on the conviction that communication between persons of different na tionalities, races, religions and cultures is both necessary and desirable," according to Jerome M. Vogel, executive Director of Crossroads. The aims of Crossroads are to pro vide an opportunity for North Americans and Africans to develop mutual understanding and respect through living and working together making a tangible contribution to Africa's needs; and pro viding the vital educa tional experience of ex posure to another culture. Miss Smith who will leave for Africa in early July, will be living and working with approx imately nine other Americans from around the country and an equal number of African univer sity students in a rural workcamp for six weeks. Upon completion of their project, the volunteers will have a chance to travel to other countries in Africa for two weeks before returning to the United States in early September. At the invitation of African countries, Crossroads volunteers spend six to seven weeks constructing needed facilities such as schools, youth centers, roads and medical dispensaries, per forming such tasks as hauling sand and water, splitting rocks and digging foundations. Crossroads provides Americans with an intense intimate ex perience as guest of a rural African community. Crossroads is sending a total of 175 volunteers to eleven different countries in Africa and sixty volunteers to five Carib bean islands this summer.

Comprised of two musi cians from each state and the District of Columbia, the Band is sponsored by McDonald's restaurants. The Band performs an nually in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City and the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's Day in Pasadena, Califor nia. During the past few weeks, high school band directors across the coun try have been invited to nominate their most talented musicians to the Band. Paul Lavalle, the Band's director, and a selection committee of educators, choose the final 102 from thousands of nominations. The 102 members will be announc ed in early October. Lavalle, former director of the Radio City Music Hall and director of the parade performances and its concert appearances. Because . of the resurgence in jazz among high school, musicians, a 17-piece jazz ensemble was created in 1978 from the entire Band member ship. The jazz ensemble is featured in all concert per formances. Since its inception in 1967, the Band's philosophy has been to recognize outstanding high school musicians and honor them in much the same way all-star teams salute America's leading athletes. "Traditionally, ail American recognition has almost exclusively applied to athletics," says Lavalle. "We believe, however, that high school musicians deserve as much recogniton as athletes. It's because of this that the McDonald's Ail American High School Band was created, establishing an all-star 'team' for musical ail-Americans." teas-spices herbs-natural foods-oriental foods ginseng-honey a mt m O. natural girts tor MOTHER 4 NAURADECOSMETICS...

Releigh. A dozen members of the organiza tion went to the Public Staff to raise their con cerns about who should be financially responsible for electric genreating facilities that fail to per form adequately to remain "on line." "All we"ve been hear ing from Bill Lee (President of Duke Power) and Hugh Wells (head of Utilities Comm mission Public Staff) is that rates for Duke Power customers will skyrocket If , down. Up to ppwMhere has been no discussion of financial liability on the part of the company or its stockholdres for the mistakes of management. It seems to us that our representatives on the Utilities Commission and the Public Staff ought to be speaking up for the ratepayers now and acting for us if the plant closes," said CA spokesperson Tom Lominac. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is com templating closing Duke Power's Oconee generating plant in South Carolina as a safety precaution. The plant was constructed with com ponents built by Babcock and Wilcox, the same company that designed and built the crippled Three Mile Island facility in Pennsylvannia. Duke Power and Utilities Com mission spokespersons estimate that rates for Duke Power customers will climb 15 to 20 per cent immediately and more later during the peak sum mer months. All spokespersons have sug gested that Duke Power ratepayers alone will bear the costs of closing the plant and purchasing the i necessary power elsewhere. 'We pay for their fuel through the fuel adjust ment clause, when Con struction Works In Pro gress goes into effect in July we will be paying for the cost of building their plants, and now they want us to pay for the mistakes of poor management and decision-making. All this and they have the nerve to be asking for a four per cent general increase," said Thelma Denning, a Durham CA member. "This could not have happened at a worse time for ratepayers," con tinued Lominac.
