Needed Here baseball great, Jackie Robinson organized Freedom National Bank in New York City: thus, helping to get the financial ball rolling for blacks again. Atlanta and other major cities soon followed this pattern. Several decades ago in Winston-Salem a black janitor working in a white bank founded and organized in his spare time a bank which was named Forsyth Bank. Many old-timers remember this effort with a deep sense of pride because it was a success for many years.

It was a cultural experience for all who attended. ]wners Most O 44 My husband just started to make people show their identification last year/' the store owner said. For 30 years the Ford's have been in business and now Mrs. Ford is weary and ready to give up the business because of the number of bad checks and break-ins. Fredrick Douglas of Modern Pharmacy says he screens people carefully. "Sometimes I will go in the back and call to check on identification," he said. A druggist for 16 years Douglas can just about spot an honest face. He manages to keep his losses at a minimum because of his keen sense of character. He told the story of a man who came in the drug store to get medicine for his sick wife. '*? He said the man stood up in the store and cried because his wife needed the medicine and he did not have any money. i ne man had promised to pay but he never did. "I could tell by just looking at the man he wasn't going to pay but I gave him the medicine anyway, I figured he really needed it." The only thing black businesses,have to protect themselves from getting an avalanche of bad checks is close personal observance and that is not foolproof.. Men are blamed for stickinq^their noze into things, but It iz the only way a dog tracts out hlz game.
