Black State Official Owes Government View. 1 i nave iouna state government to be far more responsive and sensitive than it is given credit for being.” Those are strange words to some people, but they represent the belief of Dr. Norman Camp, special as sistant to the N. C. Se cretary of Human Re sources Dr. Sarah Morrow. “In this department,” Dr. Camp says, “we are making an impact on the attitudes of top manage ment. The Secretary and Deputy Secretary are far more aware of the need to include blacks and other minorities in managerial and service-oriented posi tions.” It is Dr. Camp’s job to see that there is good minority involvement in the processes of this vast department, and that’s a task he doesn’t take lightly. As a member of the Secretary’s management team, he is the depart ment’s highest ranking black and is involved in .. policy-making on a day-to day basis. He is particular ly interested in recruiting and hiring black profes sionals for top positions in the department. “ MllVUk VS tiu mamfiesources is charged wit" management, de velopment of policy and establishment and enforce ment of standards for services in the fields of health, general health and rehabilitation. Dr. Morrow believes the basic goal of these services is to help all citizens - as individuals, families and communities - "to achieve and maintain an adequate level of health, social and eco nomic well-being and dig nity.” Dr. Camp first worked in state government in 1973 as director of school opera tions for the Youth De velopment Section of the N.C. Department of Cor rections. When that pro gram was transferred to Human Resources in 1975, he continued to work with youth-oriented activities and was Deputy Assistant ■Secretary for Children until his promotion last year. What changes has he seen during his tenure? “Most particularly, I have been aware of the Go vmoor's commitment to craiaren during this admin istration,” he says. The interest in day care and assessibility to day care has been a very signifi cant activity.” Another area where he believes progress has been made is in the area of establishing quality com miinifu.Koon^ nUAt.nnfl..M for youths who before would have been sent to training schools. Dr. Camp sees the re orientation of these young people into more normal living situations or wilder ness camps as “one of the real pluses of this admin istration.” “Before we began to work on alternative pro grams for our young peo ple, a good youngster who had non-crime-related dis cipline problems, for ex ample, could have been sent to a training school for an unspecified period of time. Because we geared our emphasis toward re habilitation and getting the child back into society by making his training period as normal as we possibly could, I have no doubt a significant number of children have been helped Business League Epr an exciting evening j<* members of the Char lotte Business League as they host their 3rd Annual Awards Dinner and Dance 7:30 p.m. Saturday, No vember l, at the Sheraton Center, 965 S.

Size Of Pots When cooking, match the size of pots to the range units. Heat Is wasted wher the pot Is small than th< unit. f in policy making decisions was brought to Dr. Mor row’s attention during a meeting with the N. C. Association of Black Social Workers. Dr. Morrow moved quickly to act on this concern and with as sistance and support from other blacks within the department and Ben Ruf fin, Governor Hunt’s spe cial assistant, Camp moved into his adminis trative role nearly one year ago. The group also wanted a top-ranking black in the Division of Social Services, and George Fleming, formerly director of the department’s Child Sup port Enforcement Section, was recently named Assist ant Director of Program Administration for the Social Services Division. Dr. Camp’s most enjoy able moments in any occu pation have been those re lated to education. He has been a high school teacher, a college proiessor at Shaw University and was dean of Kittrell College from 1969 to 1973. The oldest of seven children and a native of Raleigh, he expects some day to return to higher education and continue in his role as an advocate of the rights of children and young adults. For now Dr. Camp is busy at work “never refus ing to come to the call of the Democratic Party” and he admits that political involvement has become a way of life. He really feels that work has just begun. “I believe these years will be looked back upon as historically marvelous years,” he says, “and this is caused by many people working together in many different ways. Not the least of these is the charisma and presence of the Governor himself. He has the ability to motivate and excite the people he is in the midst of and I have never seen him leaving a group of people without them feeling good about the relationship.” Tax Credit Expires In ’81 GREENSBORO - Em ployers in North Carolina are reminded of a special Federal tax credit if they hire individuals who are members of seven speci fied target groups, the In ternal Revenue Service says. It’s called the Tar geted Jobs Tax Credit and ex£jres^ecembe^n^98^ The credit is based gen erally on wages paid be tween January 1, 1979 and December 31,1981, to quali fied employees first hired after September 26, 1978. It is 50 percent of first-year wages and 25 percent of second-year wages paid to qualified employees. Dr. Norman Camp ...Special assistant who could have been re turned to society hardened by their training school experience.” Camp has seen a slow but steady improvement in the department’s affirmative action program and cites the sensitivity of Dr. Morrow and Deputy secre tary Tom Gilmore in this area. "In my position I am at a level to know what is happening overall and to assist in making sure minorities have access to the major facets of the department,” he says. • vani^ ucncv» ms five years of work in the department have given him an edge on accept ance and credibility that someone new on the job might not have had. He is enthusiastic about his perception of the ad ministration’s solid com mitment to minority in volvement in all levels of government. “In every case when Governor Hunt has spoken before minority groups I have been im pressed with his commit ment to equal employment and jobs for all. In trans lating that commitment in this department, I work to bring about a reasonable mix at every level in every job category,” he says. Dr. Camp believe that black professionals can best relate to the concerns of minorities and poor peo ple because of their similar experiences. The need for more blacks Are you one of those who is always asking, "Where is the political repre sentation for our community?” Are you tiring of too little action and too much rhetoric? Would you like to see things turned around? If you answered yes to those ques tions, then heed the advice of the National Coalition of Black Voter Participation when they urge us to become involved by locating the voter participation campaign in our town and offering our services. My friends, we have arrived at the time when we must become more sophisticated in our selection of political candidates. They all promise us a chicken in ev _____ i 1 ill n % • . « ciy put, uui me pages ui nisiory snow that too many of them mean a chick en for those who have and unfulfilled dreams for those who have nothing except hope. Thus, it requires our recognizing that the selection is more than Demo crat or Republican, or Carter versus Reagan. We must listen to and evalu ate those political leaders who project sincere plans that are designed to give us lasting dignity and self respect via equality of justice and an opportunity to attain preparation for today's jobs so that we receive paychecks rather than handouts. To achieve this goal, we must not let political parties think that we are their robots. So, register....think....and then vote.
