Stylistics Shocked
Postpone
Here "
The Gospel Stylistics will
appear in Raleigh N.C. Sunday
October 13, at the Coliseum along
with the Mighty Clouds of Joy,
' Supreme Angels, The Blind Boys
and The Holy Lights. As for
appearing in Winston-Salem, the
Gospel Stylistics said that they
will not be singing here before
sometime in 1975. The Gospel
Stylistics say that they have to
get over the shock of losing the
first prize trophy to the Mighty
Wonders of Winston-Salem.

"The rules for judging the two
groups were decided before the
program," a, spokesman for the
Gospel Stylistics said. The rules
were agreed Upon by the
manager of the Gospel Stylistics,
Charles Jones and Joe Caldwell
of the Mighty Wonders.
"The rules were given to the
head judge on the committee,"
said a spokesman for the Gospel
Stylistics. The spokesman
* believes that the head judge did
not let any of the other judges see
the rules.
"The other judges," the Gospel
Stylistics said, "were supposed to
see the rules so that they will
know on what points to judge the

The Gospel Stylistics said that
the rules were as follows:
Diction, Harmony, Melody, Song
Variety, Audience Responses and
how well the musicians played.
The Gospel Stylistics alleged
that they beat the Mighty
Wonders in all departments
except dress and still lost the first
prize trophy.
"The nonnl p hprp with

prestige," said the Gospel
Stylistics," must realize you
can't dump lame situation on the
public's lap and expect them to
take it.
"Things were so obvious a six
year old child would have known
better.
"A trophy does not mean
anything when it is time to get on
the stage and sing Again and you
cannot ride on a lie. It has a way
of slipping out from under you."
Until press time, the Chronicle
has not heard from the Mighty
Wonders of Winston-Salem to
hear their side of the story. The
Chronicle will like to hear from
them as soon as possible.

Some of Winston-Salem's runlown
neighborhoods may be in
or some major repairs if the
toard of Aldermen can come up
vith a plan to utilize a portion of
ionic $15 million, according to
lousing Inspection
Superintendent, H.H. Disher.
"The money has already been
allotted," Disher explained,' and
idded "It's simply a matter of
getting a workable program." He
*aid city i counciimen are
reviewing the entire city to come
up with an improvement plan.
The total amount will be used for^
other projects and will be spent
over a three year period.
Although there is not enough
money to completely solve the
I musing problem. Disher said,
"the citv is trying to get it
together for the interest of all
citizens."
Many residents of the eastern
and northern sections of the city
I eel t hat they are in the most need"
of improvements. The section is.
approximately 80 per cent black .
and Disher indicated that the
project will be set up on a priority
basis according to the most
urgent need.
In addition. "The project will
be set up to eliminate future

blight in some areas." Dishcr
explained what substandard
or minimum standard
housing is: ''One that has enough
defects in it where it would not be
suitable to live in." The main
consideration, he said, is sanitary . .
facilities. "The house should
have hot and cold running water.
Electricity is the next most
important thing." Included in the
list of "things" that qualify a
house- as substandard are poor
foundations where rodents, [.*
particularly rats, can enter;
chimneys and heating ; v
equipment. ? /
I)isher indicated that probably
: the major cause of sub-standard
housing is "people neglecting
maintenance." He said it usually
starts with a small or minor
areas and leads to bigger
problems over a period of time.
However, "It's hard to determine
the actual amount of minimum
standard housing, he said. A lot of
houses in sound area fall back
into the sub-standard catagory
when people don't take proper
care of them.
Keeping a house in good
condition is not a "one Shot
deal", he said. Tlicy must be
maintained constantly .
