Natural Food Researchers Say 7,000Year-Old Diet Is Man’s Original Diet? BOB ALSTON ^ ^Stresses change “ . Teens In Touch Emphasizes Prevention Of Pregnancy By Karen Parker Poet SUH Writer When Bob Alston accept ed the position as director of the Chariotte-Mecklen burg Urban League in Oc tober, 1962, a family life education program was Just a concept. - Alston noticed at that time that the local Urban League seldom ventured beyond working in the areas of education and em ployment training. He mentioned bow be wanted to start a program similar to the one he had been affiliated with while he was in New York. That was the New York Urban League Teenage Pregnancy Out reach Program. In 16 months, Alston has watched his idea at Char lotte-Mecklenburg mate rialize into a program known as Teens in Touch. It’s emphasis is on prevent ing adolescent pregnancy. “We have counseling, workshops and field trips that build the teens’ self awareness and esteem,” Alston spoke. The staff at Urban League had to be in creased to accommodate the progra!h which takes place at two public hous than 260 teenagers are .at tending the program Monday-Friday. While it is primarily for pregnancy prevention, Alston stated no one already experienc ing parenthood is turned away. In the co-ed program, counselors and staff work ers emphasize how becom ing a parent while a teen • ager can sidetrack what ever goals the teen has set. “Many of the young people have solid ideas about what they want to do with their . life,” Alston stated. That’s why the staff workers put an emphasis on education ana careers'-“We want" thenftoOe able to get jobs, rather than become locked into welfare pro grams,” Alston sincerely spoke. He feels confident Teens Tn Touch and programs initiated by other agencies with similar goals are affecting teenagers, but there are still too many becoming parents. “Char -Iotte~ might be the 46th largest city in the nation, but it's in the top 10 per cent of cities with the high est adolescent pregnan cies,” Alston stressed. Along with Teens In Touch, the Charlotte Mecklenburg Urban League'has continued to serve the community in other capacities. The latest program certainly has not taken away the League's emphasis on education and job training. r or example, seven col lege interns work with Teens in Touch. They are students at Johnson C. Smith University and UNC Charlotte who are major ing in urban studies, hu man development, and other social sciences. “These students not -only have the opportunity to gain experience in their field of study, but can also make a contribution to the community at large rather than be Isolated on their campuses,” Alston men tioned. In job training, Alston and his staff at Urban League made a successful proposal to the new-to town Marriott Hotel. The business has agreed to hire 100 people recommended by Urban League. Alston informed the employed will be placed in 38 different occupations. TURN WHAT YOUDONT NEED INTO CASH Sell It In The Charlotte Post I Classified Ads The General Tire and Rubber Company has agreed to employ people recommended by Urban League for its weekend shifts. “The weekend crew will work a total of 24 hours within a weekend, with the opportunity to work 16 ad ditional hours during the week if desired,” Alston noted. This program known as Special Employment and other programs ini tiated by Urban League, have helped many who have been unemployed for years, finally get back into the workforce. lTie Mayor s Summer Youth Employment pro gram, sponsored by Urban League, usually employs about 400 teens for a three month period. They are prepared for various jobs by attending a Job Readi ness class taught at Cen tral Piedmont Community College. Comparing how he feels now to when he first ar rived in Charlotte 16 months ago, Alston pro claimed, “I’m still op timistic; I’m still very high on Charlotte.” By Loretta Man a go Feet Staff Writer With just two cupe of ‘Daryl Cherry, ‘Protein Burger Mix,’” an average of five to eight people can be fed and from this one mix, hundreds of recipes can be prepared. The "Mix” is also free from artificial flavorings, per servatives, colorings, sugar and cholesterol, re fined salt, chemicals or animal properties. No, this is not some fu turistic food concept. On the contrary, this idea of well-balanced nutritional products, according to its manufacturers, Daryl Cherry and Sheldon Ship man, is actually 7,000 years old. Using fruits, vege tables, herbs, grains, nuts, seeds, peas and beans which have been around since creation, we have developed new com binations to put these in gredients in. Not only do they provide delicious and natural recipes, but they are also therapeutic in de livering all the essential nutrients the body needs while cleansing and re juvenating itself,” re sponded the manufactur ers. The two manufacturers also contend that this “7,000 year-old diet is man’s original diet.” In ad dition to the eight years of research that both Cherry and Shipman have invested in researching the area of natural food, Shipman, while a seminary student studied the diets of every major religion and has concluded that "God in tended man to have a na tural nutrition.” Shipman cited many Biblical figures like Daniel, Ezekiel and Moses who stressed a na tural diet. unce tne research was completed, Cherry began making his food formulas. Some of his other food products include the Daryl Cherry “Mother Nature’s Original Mix,” “Protein Fruit Mix,” “Dry Bean Mixes,” and “Complete Protein Corn Meal Mix.” All. of the food products manufacturered by Cherry Sheldon Shipman and Daryl Cherry, executives of Cherry Shipman Indus tries. Inc., plan to share with the world their natural foods concept. Nature King, fast food restaurants; a natural spa & juice-salad bar and a natural _ living health resort. These ideas, plans and goals have not material ized overnight. As a mat ter of fact, they occurred years before Cherry Ship man Industries was con [ ceived and before either young man had any notion about becoming involved commercially with natural foods. For Cherry, it was a search for a better diet. that search resulted in fasting and prayer and when the search was over, he had found his answer in natural foods. For Ship man, the desire to find a better diet came while he was a student at UNC Charlotte. Being an ath lete prevented him from pursuing the idea further; however, when he met Cherry eight years ago, all the conditions seemed right for both men to fol low their dream. Cherry Shipman Indus tries, Inc., of which Ship man is vice president, and Cherry is president, is lo cated at 2818 1-85 South, Suite K.

Revealing the purpose of Cherry Shipman Indus tries, Shipman stated, “Our main reason for forming this company was to manufacture and distri bute nutritional products that would cover the total spectrum of nutrition, which is our effort to pro mote ‘A better way of life and peace among all peo ple.'” Although Cherry and Shipman have only been marketing their natural food products for less than two years, they have been making great strides in introducing their product through seminars, lec tures and conferences in the states. Last year alone they appeared on a radio talk show, “Joy Of Living," in Chicago; a Whole Life Expo - “An Exhibition for a Healthy America,” spon sored by the Whole Life Times & International Health Alliance and a “Healing Ourselves In The New Age: Health Sympo sium and Fair,” presented by leading wholistic health professionals and interna tional authorities. More recently, Cherry and Ship man gave a natural nutri tion and economics semi nar during the National Council for Black Stu dents' Conference. However, educating the public is only a small frag ment of Cherry and Ship man’s goals. Concerned with world hunger, both men intend to present their natural food concept to institutions that mainly address the issue of world hunger such as AFRI CARE, CARE, American Freedom From Hunger Foundation, Inc., and the World Relief Commission. “It is evident that with all of the contributions to organizations that focus their attention on feeding the world’s hungry that this issue is still a prevalent* one. We (Cherry and Ship man) feel that our product is the solution. Our natural foods are enonomical to the organizations that would purchase them and they provide all the vitamins and nutrients that are re quired for a person," stressed Cherry. Moreover, both Cherry and Shipman expect to ex pand their natural foods concept into other areas as well. Some of their future projects include a factory outlet-retail store, product demonstrations; a Nature Queen, ice cream parlor; Dr. Rosamuel Dawkins9 Jr. And Associates Dr. Francis T.
