By Edwaro Bishop
33ore than ten years ago, MsrAcie
Waxd's mother went to New York where
she found employment as a domestic so

teacher", said Ms. Ward who is now an
assistant dean at North Carolina Central
University School of Law in Durham.
"She made every sacrifice that she could

tended Marywood.
3 am a communicator," said Ms.
Ward who is also a torts professor in the
predominantly black institution's even
ing program. "Teaching is a search fo.
train and for broadening one's percep
tions of life," she saiLw
3i NCCU, Ms. Ward administers the
evening law program, which is the only
such legal program between
Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, Oa.
Students in the program are mostly

Ms. Ward returned to NCCU where

state of North Carolina.
want to and need to make a con
tribution to society," said Ms. Ward,
who worked as a chemist before atten
ding law school, "I have never been in
terested in making money. I believe that
my role as a person is to assist others.'!:
think that we as people are responsible
for one another."
Ms. Ward grew up in New Bern with
her older sister, her mother, and her
grandmother. When her grandmother
became ill, Ms. Ward's mother quit
work to take care of her.
"I took a job as a kitchen helper after
school and on Saturdays to help the
family with expenses which included
tuition at the Catholic school where I
was a student. It helped make ends
meet."
When she finished high school, a
priest in New Bern, an aunt and uncle in
Durham, and her mother combined their
resources so that she could pursue fur
ther studies.
During the summers when she was a
student at Mary wood, Ms. Ward work
ed as an elevator operator in a New York
City department store and one summer,
she worked as a camp counselor.
"There was never any doubt in my
mother's mind that my sister and I were
going to college," she said, "it was just
,a matter of how we were going to do it."
"Acie Ward is hard working, suc
cessful, and cares about people," said
Charles E. Smith, a law instructor at
NCCU. "That's a rare quality in any
person. She adds a great dimension to
this institution," he said.

Odora, grease, smoke, mois

worst enemies in your house.
But Charlotte Womble, extension-,
housing specialist,
North Carolina State JJniver
sity, says you can overcome
these irritants by installing
good ventilation fans, , 4
There are several rooms
where you may do well to
install ventilation fans, she
adds. Among them are the
kitchen, utility room, bath
room, basement and recreation
room. ' 1 ' ' '
In discussing the kitchen,
Miss Womble said, "during
cooking, droplets of grease,
carried by steam, settle on
walls, the ceiling, and furniture
in all rooms of the house unless
they are removed."
University tests, she adds,
have found that as many as
200 pounds of such grease
laden moisture are given off
every year in the average
kitchen.
Ventilating fans will help
remove this grease from the
house, she notes.
