Unemployed
"I'd Rather 1
by James Smith
Staff Writer
With the job situation as it
i d i - -
is today, many girls would
love the thought of not having
to work and be totally
dependent on welfare--but not
Clara Fussa.
Miss Fussa, a black Puerto
Rican has been in WinstonSalem
since January and so
far has been unable to obtain
work of any kind.
"I don't mind the help-but
I would rather be working,"
she said in a recent interview.
"Once you get on that
weiiare oag, it ? naiu iu
out," she stated.
A person who loves the out
of doors and is very athletic,
Miss Fussa says office or
secretarial work is not what
she has in mind.
"What I really want to do is
work which will be challenging
to me. Something that will
keep me very busy." .
"But, it seems that since I
have been here, each time I
apply for work, the prospective
employer looks at me and
then says, "I'll call you," she
stated.
Miss Fussa believes that
many employers look at her
and feel that by being a
woman, she wouldn't be able
to perform certain jobs.
"Recently, I had an
interview at a refrigeration
locker place for a shipping
clerk. I was told to fill out the

application. Afterwards, th
man in charge said he woul
later call me--but he neve
did.
"1 don't know why the
think women are all th.
fragile. When I was in Ne
York, I worked as a ma
handler where I handle
bundles of mail each day?ar
sometimes those bundle
weighted almost 95 pounds,
she said.
She estimates that she he

I'm not use to people tellir
you that they'll call you for
job. In New York, if yc
wanted a job you just ke
plugging away until you got i
And that's exactly whart
intend to do. I am not going
stay by the telephor
waiting," she commented.
But, even if she doesn't fir
a job, Miss Fussa has r
intention of ever going back i
New York.
While here, she is stayin
with her godmother, Mr
Love Singleton of East 151
Street.
Although she brought h(
daughter with her, she sei
her back to New York to lb
with Miss Fussa's sister un
the school term ends.
Until she finds a job, Mi
Fussa will go on looking i
her type of work-loading ai

Friend W
? Dear Liz,
1 have a friend who always
comes to me for advice. Which
I don't mind trying to help
anyone, but it's always
basically the same problem. I
give my aaivce trom past
experience and my friend
never listens. Why do my
friends ask for my help and
never take it. Then she will
come and tell me I was right. 1
never tell her 1 you so. but she
knows that 1 was right.
I like my friend very much
1 and 1 don't like to see her get
hurt. But it seems she hurt
herself over and over.
Trying to be a Friend
Dear Trying Friend.
Your friend is not looking
for advice because she knows
'the answer. . She wants a
sounding board to let ol.' her
frustrations. Don't feel discouraged
because you have
probably been a great help to
her just listening and offering

your advice. This shows her at?

Dear Liz,
I'm seventeen years old. I
Finished high school this June
and planning to go to college. 1
have been very close to my
boyfriend's family. His mother
wants to help me through
college. Since I am not sure if
we will ever get married, do
you think I should accept
financial help from her?

Dear Can't Decide,
Can you afford to attend
college without her help? If
you can, then by all means do.
If you cannot, have a talk with
her and explain the details. If
she still wants to help, accept,
and don't feel obligated later.
