But. have job ever- stopped to think that the warning is worth considering seriously? We ara an achievement orienUd eodety. "Keeping up with the Joneses is more than just a cliche. Ia order to achieve a position, reach a goal, or obtain material re wards we often push our selves relentlessly.; Working from dawn to dusk becomes routine. Relationships are neglected. '. Communication breaks down. We lose touch with the real meaning of life. Of course we tend to asso ciate the workaholic image with the harried executive who seldom is home when his children are awake he is up before dawn, gulps down a quick breakfast, gives his wife a hurried kiss, and rushes off to another busy day. But what about you? You don't even have to be em ployed much less be an exe cutiveto qualify as a work aholic. . Being a workaholic means you feel you must be. accom plishing something every mo ment of the day. Ask yourself: Do you try to accomplish two things at the same time like talking on the telephone while cooking, shuffling through mail, or paying the bills? Do you check for the mail even before it's due? Do you find yourself going out of the house while your spouse is coming in? Do you leave the car motor running while stop ping by a friend's house? Do you take care of business calls when you're supposedly relax ing with your family? Are you always making lists and re vising them? Is a visit to the office more important than a family outing? Yes to any of these could mean trouble. You may need to learn to relax and make yourself accessible to family and friends.

The Jeffer-j sons, has added yet another j credit to her . impressive' career. " -"" ' '"' Recently voted by American television viewers . across the country as one of television's most popular stars in a nationwide, poll conducted by Marketing Evaluations Company, Ms. Gibbs is now appearing on screen as spokeswoman for Texize for its Pine Power cleaner disinfectant. Because of her popularity and the values of honesty and self-, reliance she stands for, she was chosen to be one of the first black women celebrities to star in a commercial, once again pioneering a road for black women to follow. Chicago-born, Ms. Gibbs always wanted to be a singer. Before realizing her dream of entering show business in 1972, she worked at various jobs as a switchboard operator for Detroit's black owned Gotham Hotel, and for a time as a reservations clerk for United Airlines. r After moving to Southern: California with her family daughter Angela and sons f Jordan and Dorian Maria j began taking acting lessons1 I at a Watts workshop in 1971 . She appeared professionally ; first in a film, "Sweet Jesus, Preacher Man." Ms. Gibbs hard work paid off rather quickly. Her big break came in 1972 when she was chosen to play Florence, everyone's : favorite maid, in The Jeffer sons. , The versatile Ms. Gibbs has been able to combine her' acting career and off-screen role as a mother of three and be a .business woman too. She owns a successful prin ting business and hopes to; open a jazz club and start a -recording studio soon. After having accomplished ' so much in such a short period of time, Ms. Gibbs . feels now she'll be able to fulfill her original childhood ambition to be a singer since . she's developed enough self confidence as an actress. Always looking toward the future and advancement, she ; sees TV as a new horizon for blacks. That's why she values the experience of working on a high-rated television series and in Pine Power television commercials that appear on all three networks. She feels .it is very important for viewers to let stations know what they like and complain about programs they don't enjoy. Ms. Gibbs' on-target iprotrayal of Florence is ob-l i viously what TV viewers likeH Monday Evening January 25, 1981 WFMY WPTF WTVD WUNC WTTG WRAL, WTBS WGHP CH.2 CH.28 CH.11CH.4 CH. 5 CH. 5 CH. 17 CH. 8 I Cable 2 Cable 3 Cable 6 Cable 9 I Cable 10 Cable 12 Cable ta 700 CBS News Family Feud Jettersons UacNeil Welcomeback Good Times Carol Entertain 15 " " Lehrer Kotter " Burnett .
