Page B8-The Chronicle, Thursday, October 4, 1 ;a K? % w* V |Focus Ot\ Religion ?v 1 Swindell: A n ST? a IBy SUSAN HUNT g Chronicle Staff Writer Most people in Winston-Salem probably aren't 5 aware that the Beneath The Elms Barber and Style JShop adjacent to the Hyatt House is black-owned. ^ The owner is also a female, Julia Swindell. Even more unusual is the fact that she haDDens to be a Baptist minister, The Rev. Swindell. As unusual as her situation is, Rev. Swindell does not feel that she is in any way out of the ordinary. The combination of her vocation and her ministry is just "second-nature" to her now, she says. ? Swindell has been an ordained Baptist minister ffor 10 years, a licensed barber for five of those 10 years, and she loves the combination. "You have to like people to be a minister or a barber, and I like people," she says. "I have a genuine interest in people. Quite simply, being able to relate to people is a ltrge part of my success." However, if faced with a choice between the two professions, she would have to choose her ministry, ^because there.is such need in the world." Julia Swindell traces her spiritual awakening back to when she was nine years old ? when she was first called to the ministry. Julia Swindell has owned the Beneath The Elms Barber and Style Shop for almost four years now. But, probably due to its location, the shop has not been very well publicized. Contrary to what you might think, the shop does not cater strictly to a black clientele. She employs one white stylist and one black stylist, besides herself. Many of her customers are long-time customers and not all of them are black. They all are used to being greeted with Swindell's I wnuKWri |LS3BSB?>A II * Hie Keystone Club, affiliated with the Boy's CI vSalem, will begin a fund-raising drive today to members to the club's national convention in Atlant I {wiH be selling peanut brittle, s * , Fellowship services will begin at 7:30 p.m. at t I Prayer Fellowship.

That, along with expert service, has kept many customers coming back. Swindell likes to rephrase an old saying so it reads, "Behind every good woman, there's a man." Her husband, Jesse Swindell, is a deacon at Emmanuel Baptist Church and her source of encouragement. She says of him, "He always encouraged me when I doubted myself and my mission. He is a very important part of my life and ministry." In addition to her ministry and the barber shop, "Ihave a genuine interest in people" ? Rev. Julia Swindell Swindell has been successful in other endeavors. She is a loving mother and serves as an associate pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church, where she fills in wherever needed. She says she "enjoys missionary work, because there is more to church work than just singing and preaching." In 1975, she received the "Scroll of Honor" awarded by the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Club. In 1956, she was selected to appear in the memorial edition of "Community Leaders & Noteworthy' Americans.^ Locally,, she serves on the Forsyth County Zoning Board of Adjustments and has served as voting judge for the Southeast District for four years. She also is a licensed notary public. 1 Church Notes _ . Pastor not< R ' . ' &. S The Rev. James O.
