10 THE CAROLINA TIKES : SAT,, JANUARY 30, 1S82 Private Fo u n dat ion To Help People Organize Against Urban Crime WASHINGTON, DC; Dr. kMiltdn. S. Eisenhower, chairman of ihe privately-funded Eisenhower Foundation for the Prevention of Violence, announced last week, the opening of a national toll-free ami-, crime hotline which, started on - -Tuesday, . January 19.The number : is (800) 368-5664. "Neighborhood violence is out of control in this country," said Dr. Eisenhower. "This hotline is - aimed at organizing "people in middle class as well as ghetto neighborhoods around . the nation to stem the rising tide of, violent crime." The Foundation, funded by private con tributions, is the outgrowth of the Presidential Commission set up during the Johnson Administration after the assassination of Robert Kennedy and continued for a year by the Nixon Administra- tion. Dr. Eisenhower heuded the Presidential group known as the Na tional Commission on the Causes and Preven tion of Violence. Vice chairman wis Federal Court of Appeals Judge Leon Higginbotham of Philadelphia, who holds the same position-with ' the non-partisan founda tion. "Our ultimate goal is to help those who want to ,i help themselves," Eisenhower stated, "It is our intention to reach people who. want to do something about the security of their homes and streets but do not know . how or who to contact for details. Most law enforcement agen cies are undermanned and are not always in a position to respond to anything but the emergency or immediate needs of their communi ty. We will put citizens in touch with neighborhood organiza tions which have been Institute Salutes Blacks During Afro-American History Month successful in finding '. practical ways to reduce crime." , "While we will assist . middle class residents in ; organizing r; to protect themselves,' . a concen-' treated effort will be directed to the poorer' high -cr i m e neighborhoods r r which -don't always have easy access to the s police," ; said v Judge Higgin botham. V We hope to - facilitate ways - through which people in crime ridden "areas will tie crime; prevention with youth employment and :. economic regeneration of 'deteriorated i city areas." "Once you " identify natural ; " neighborhood leaders, it is possible to help one another out in direct and effective ways like block watches; escort services, youth patrols, involvement of senior citizens with time on their hands, property identification, and closer cooperation i with; police." Dr. Eisenhower pointed ' out how the foundation will put "Black gets more beautiful each year," say members of the American Health and Beauty Aids Institute.: And they plan to remind everyone of; this with a : special salute to black Americans during Afro-' American ' History; Month in February. In- stitute members are minority-owned com panies producing black r health and beauty aid; products for use in the: U.S. and abroad. Gaining recognition of the accomplishments and . contributions of black Americans especially in the beauty field is a op priority of the recently , formed Institute, accor ding to, executive director Lafayette Jones. "Most people, iricluding black consumers, don't know that one of this country's first beauticians was a black . woman,' says Jones. "Madame C.J. Walker's . beauty pro-, ducts and beauty schools were renowned at the turn of the century." Jones points out that although , Madame Walker was probably the most famous, there were other , -r black', cosmetologists " who made an impact on beau ty culture in the early part of the 20th century. Among them ivere Madame Anna Malone, who introduced the PfV. Beauty System; Madame Estella, the founder of the Nu-Life School , of Beauty Culture; and , Madame Sarah Spencer ; Washington, . who1 originated ' the Apex , Beauty System. As part of their salute to these and other famous' black beauti cians, the Institute has prepared for members' use tag lines for radio and TV commercials and special ads for print advertising. The Institute also has developed and distributed through the Minority Media a sixty second radio announce ment, a four-slide TV i feature and a special ' "Then and INow" ' newspaper and magazine column. Jones says that the In stitute has sent special bulletins to retailers and chain store consumer af-; fairs directors informing them about the Institute media campaign . during Afro-American History Month and asking them to feature black health and beauty aid products, during this special period. "It is hoped that the consumer affairs directors in 'their; newspaper food ad col-: umns and m-store han douts will alert customers to the impor-t tant role that black peo-' pie have had in develop ing today's top-quality health and beauty aid products." - Arrangements, are be-' ing made for Jones and other Institute members to appear on. radio and TV talk shows ? in key market areas during the February Black History commemoration. Up un-. til 1980, Afro-American History observance was only a one-week event in February. , Going To College In '82?
