ESC To Observe “Employ Older * Worker” Week Citing a proclamation is j sued last week by President Carter, Claudie Lewis, Jr., ? Manager of the Employment Security Commission’s Char lotte Job Service office, an ; nounced his office’s partici pation in National “Employ the Older Worker Week,’• March 12-18. "As much as race, sex, national origin,or physical handicap, age is a significant source of employment discri mination today," declared Mr. Lewis. “Our society over emphasizes youth,” he added, and the ESC’s participation in this observance seeks to re mind area employers that age has very little to do with either employability or job perfor mance.” In addition, Lewis cited the Federal Age Descrimination : - in Employment Act of 1967 which prohibits any form of job or hiring bias by an employer on account of age. This law particularly applies to persons between the ages of : 4(K65. VSUA UHCUUUU, UUWCVCI , is not to intimidate employers with the law,” said Lewis. “Instead,” he explained, "We want emloyers to consider • older workers because they’ve proven themselves reliable and experienced employees.” In fiscal year 1977, the Em ployment Security Commis sion placed nearly 13.000 per sons 45 and older in jobs. This figure represented some 12 percent of the office’s total placements. Mr. Lewis stated that each ' ESC office offers a trained Older Worker Specialist to aid persons 40 and older in the iob , search. In Charlotte, the local Older Worker Specialist is Charles Taylor.

Black col leges are priceless engines and vessels of hope, dreams, vision, motivation, inspira tion, and aspiration. They may well be the salvation of black youth and redemption of America.” He said that like the black church, "the black college is a tremendous institution and in strument of power, vision, hope, and promise of the black community. The black college is a weapon of social reform, humanistic progress, and his torical reform.” B. D. ROBERTS _25 pain (infix tin display B, D. Roberts: “I Try To Recreate On Canvas / All The Beauty I Enjoy" -- wwvn puv tographs of pleasure trips to share with friends and to keep as reminders of sights they’ve seen but B.D.(Bannake) Ro berts goes a step further. "When I travel,” he says, "I take along a camera and sketch jwd and capture my impressions of scenes along the way. Then during the long fall and winter months I try to recreate on canvas all the beauty I enjoyed.” The results are stunning reproductions of nature along the North Carolina coast, the Piedmont and mountains; and scenes and slices of life from across the United States, as seen through the eyes of Ro berts. Twenty-five of these pain tings are now on display at Metrolina National Bank, 4801 East Independence Boule vard. Originally scheduled to close March 11, the show, which features oils, acrylics and water colors, has been extended to March 25 at the request of bank officials. The artist traces his love of painting back to when he was “eight or nine years old” and growing up in Shelby, but it wasn’t until he caipe to be come principal of Myers Street Elementary School. “I used to draw and sketch a lot when I was a child” he said, wneu 1 was yuung i thought I wanted to be a train man so I drew pictures of trains. Then later on I became fascinated with baseball and painted pictures of baseball players.” Roberts has studied at UNCC under Maude Gate wood; with Dr. John McCla nahan at Queens College; Eli zabeth Ross, director of art at Central Piedmont; and cur rently with Beth Balyn, art director at Queens. Retirement has afforded him more time to travel and to devote to his hobby and he says he spends anywhere from two to six hours a day painting depending upon the untensity of his mood and the circum stances.

Among the paintings on dis play in the Metrolina show are ‘Flamingos AtPlay," a depic tion of a scene in Florida; ‘‘Liberty Speaks," which shows the Statue of Liberty silhouhetted against the New York skyline; and “The Wash ington Scenes,” showing the Washington Monument in spring with cherry trees in bloom. One particular favorite of Robert’s is a picture enti tied “Lonely Twilight."
