Good gran Too often, it is found that younger people, although in school, are -not too concerned about grammar. ~ They do not realize grammar is a tool that can add to their general effectiveness and is an area in which, if they are deficient, they will be the object of ridicule and pity. Even more harmful, others may judge them as intellectually inferior. Now, returning to school, it is a iiuv nine iu 111111n duuui giaillmar improvement. It isn't necessary to be an expert grammarian. It is more important to avoid the simple errors of speech into which you may lapse through carelessness.

After a long, protracted battle in the Michigan state legislature, the terms of a city income tax increase were approved and a referendum in which Detroit's voters would decide whether or not to increase their city tax income was scheduled to take place on June 23rd. You knew that although the black community supported a tax increase, the majority of white voters were opposed. The techniques used by Young and the "budget crisis" committee to successfully increase black voter turnout are documented in an excellent study, "Mobilizing the Black Community," published by the Joint Center for Political Studies. The problems faced by organizers were formidable, according to the study, which was written by Paul Carton, as political researcher. Only a few weeks b efore the June 23rd referendum, black voter turnout in Detroit for a statewide property tax referendum had been an anemic 20.6 percent. White voter turnout had eyreeHeH hlark voter tnr nout by almost 11 percentage points. Carton, a political consultant with the Boston firm of Martila and Kiley, found that the face-to-face appeals by volunteers and community leaders in Detroit's black precincts?increased blac?

The black turnout was 17.7 percentage points higher than the black turnout in the May property tax ~ referendum. Politicians campaigning in the black community will find Carton's discussion very useful in making the nuts-andbolts decisions of political organizing. The study is particularly relevant during an election year in which the potential power of a mobilized black electorate is becoming incresingly evident.

The $141,700 grant will attract at least that amount in private financing for rental rehabilitation, the announcement says, But Gary Brown, director of Winston-Salem's Community Development department, said the housing vouchers and rent certificates could be worth between $300,000 to $400,000 over the next five years. "We are very anxious to receive proposals from developers and investor-owners," Brown said, adding that property owners could obtain as much as $5,000 per unit in federal funding.

Certainly, to be a good conversationalist, you must have something to say, be able to say it well and say it at the right time. Speech is the biggest means of communication which is practiced by everyone every day, one way or the other (spoken or written). The ability to speak and write well is a dollars and cents proposition including all phases. Speaking and writing accurately are practical necessities in life.

Brown said. John Roberts, head of the department's housing division, will collect applications for the funds.
