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. ,

mine how much students

comfortably afford to
pay toward educational
costo Tb'js h determined
from - cv U ' rvr;J
organizations - ' of
neighborhood residents
in ; touch with
businessmen as well. "
"We hope that
, neighborhood - organiza
tions which promise to
reduce fear, incivility
and violence will merit
financial support from
merchant associations -and
individual businesses
hopefully made easier
through :, increased
revenues : , from . the
greater- volume ' of
business. ; .
"We will develop part-'
nerships with large na
tional ... , corporations
which have many local
outlets or interests -t-such
as all-night conve
nience stores, insurance
companies,' and gas sta
tions. Local outlets will
be identified and linked
to neighborhood
organizations in mutual
ly beneficial ways."
