Miss Toby Perry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Perry, was crowned Mount Peace Queen. Toby, a fifth grader at Uni versity Park Elementary School, is an active member of Salem Baptist Church. She is Third Vice-President of the Youth Mission Department and a member of the junior choir. Toby worked very hard to raise money to represent her church in the contest. Toby enjoys cooking, sew ing, and needlepoint. She also works with the church kinder garden. Participants in the contest ranged from ages 2 through 19. The purpose of the program was to raise funds for foreign missions. The money will be used to supply books for a library in Africa.

Mayhew Bostic is pastor; first runner up Miss Kimerlyn Johnson of Mayfield Memorial Baptist Church where Mrs. Hannah was supervisor and Rev. H. S. Diggs is pastor; second run ner up Ms. Ella Thomas of New Zion Baptist Church where Mrs. Erma Buford was New A Stamp Being Sold Here By Sidney Moore, Jr. Post Staff Writer New “A” stamps are being sold at the Post Office as a result of the postage hike of Tuesday, May 30. “A” is used to designate the stamp because it has no price printed on its face, according to Willie Strafford, who is a Public Information Officer with the Postal Service. A similar situation occured in 1975. A Christmas stamp was distributed with no price marking because the postal service did not know if it would be allowed an increase. Postage rates are reviewed by a regulatory rate commis sion established by the federal government. Eight million of the new “A” itamns wptp riplivoroH tn Charlotte this year in antici pation of an increase. Postal afficials requested a three :ent hike, but the commission approved only a two cent hike o 15 cent. An increase of (1.9 billion aationally is the expected re urn from the increase. Straf ord said the money will be ased to offset deficits and to nake the service self-suffi :ient by 1983. He is not sure whether or not additional in reases may be imposed in >rder to meet this goal. In addition to "A" stamps, 1.5 million two cent stamps were received in Charlotte for hose who still have 13 cent stamps to use. Persons failing oo add postage to their 13 cent itamDS will cause those who eceive their letter to have to >ay the additional postage. Oliver Wendell Holmes, a former U.S. Supreme Court Judge, appears on the 15 cent stamp currently used by the Post Office. Once the “A" stamp supply dwindles, this stamp will become more commonly used. Letters that weigh one ounce or less now carry a 15 cent postage rate and 13 cent for each additional ounce. Post cards now cost 10 cent, instead of 9 cent. No shortages of “A” stamps or combinations of stamps to make these new rates is ex pected, said Strafford.

Fred Richard Wilson of Wil mington Wilson believed to be the only black boat captain in North -Carolina, and First Mate Tom Osborne moor the two year old boat at Carolina Beach about 12 miles outside of town on N.C. 421. They used it to accommodate fishing parties of six persons per outing. “As long as the weather is good, 1 go out,' said Wilson. The life-long fisherman, boater and water sportsman offers a 10-hour "in-shore" tour for $250 per party. His “Gulf Stream" 24-hour tour cost a party $500. Wilson provides fishing supplies and assistance. When not in the water, “Captain Rick" can be found in slip 12, along Canal Drive, said Wilson. The boat can be reserved by a $50 deposit. Art Lynch of Charlotte Meckienburg Youth Council met Wilson recently. "It’s well worth the money," said Lynch. His party was booked on the boat next to the slip where “Cap tain Rick" is moored. "He has an excellent reputa tion in the area," Lynch said of Wilson. Lynch described the excit ment of going out on the boat as being bigger than actually catching fish. He said it is.a thrill to be out so far you cannot see the shore. According to Lynch, boats search for schools of fish. Pulling them in once a school is found is easy. When he went out. King Mackrel were biting. On the way back, said Lynch, sea gulls followed the boat looking for a handout. "You had better not have a piece of bread in your hand," said Lynch. _ • Subscribe To The Post Ins, Outs Of Higher Education Concerns Davis By Sidney Moore, Jr. Post Staff Writer The ins and outs of higher education greatly concern Charlotte native Michael R Davis of North Carolina A & T State University. A History major, Davis was elected Attorney General of the Student Government Association at the University. His February campaign effort included a speech entitled, “Merge the Black Institu tions? No!” He was also the recent keynote speaker at the annual Student Government Banquet. In that speech he said, “Black educational development con fronts a perpetual political fixation; the lack of compen satory funds.” “The universities in our state system are ranked on two levels-comprehensive and professional. Comprehensive universities offer degrees up to the masters level. On the other hand, professional uni versities of PHDs, EDD', LLDs and the like,” explained Davis in a recent statement. “None of the black universi ^es^n^h^^JNC^ystenwire professional universities. Moreover, professional uni versities receive more money than comprehensive universi ties Professional universities also attract more students. Enrollment is another means of proportioning money allot ments to the respective uni versities in our system." Some of these ideas were also discussed in a State Stu dent Attorney General's Con ference, which was founded by Davis, according to the state ment. Attending that con ference were Dr. Ralph Abernathy, Attorney Julius Chambers, Dr. Bertha Max well, Judge Joseph Williams and Deputy Attorney General Edwin Speas.
