The profile, written by Lar ry Vickers, who is associate editor of publications, Florida Education Association, points out that Governor Askew "nas spoken more forcefully than any other Southern governor In op posing demonstrations against school busing to achieve inte gration, and he has spoken out against those who would send their children to segregated ac i demies to avoid public school desegregutio!.' ’ As September drew near and the nation drew sides on the issue (d school busing to ,t --* chiove integration, A •.!:« v. <p t; v, national attention . f*L his U niversity of Florida coinrnence kmeat address in which lie do s plori-d the lack of broad r.om mnnit; desecreantion and co opr ia’ie,. which made busing a iM'r s.sary tool t > can'} out the law.

The governor’s first black appointment to receive public acclaim was that of assign ing Mrs. Athalie Range, a form er Miami city councUwoman, to head the state’s Department of Community Affairs, a post which carries “little cabinet” status. This first move could have been labeled token, Vick ers points out, “had it not been followed by a series of addition al black appointments, many of of them unheralded.” Among those blacks appoint ed by Askew are Jessie Mc- Crary, the first black man In f- lorida named to the Industri al Claims Court, and Thomas J. Reddick, Jr., a HI-year-old black attorney, who was nam ed judge of the newly-created Broward County Court of Re cord in Ft, laudordale. While no record of the num ber of Mack vs. white appoint ments made by Askew has been compiled, Vickers said, “to regular visitors to the Capi tol building it is apparent more black people are employed in routine office positions now than it any time in roeent memory.” Addressing the Education Commission of the States on July 8 .in Boston, Gov. Askew condemned those who would send their children to segre gation academies to avoid public school desegregation: “I submit that we should see that every parent who sudden ly considers taking his child out of public schools is warn ed that, no matter how well intended he may be, he might well t>e burning the bridges tie hind that child...as well as be brnind other innocent young sters.” [Tea, Talfc BY MARCUS H. BOULWARE A dialect is the speech style of a group of people of a given and specified area. It may dif fer from the General Ameri can tremendously in so much that it may be unintelligible. This is what some people are saying about the so-called black dialect or linguistics. An example of substandard dialectal pronunciation is the “dis, dat, deze, and doze” heard in some neighborhoods of East ern and mid-western and South ern cities. In the United States we have subdialects, such as Gullah, Geech, Creole, moun tainer, and so on. Take the Cockney dialect of the uneducated class in Lon don, made familiar even to Americans in Shaw’s “Pygma lion,” through My Fair Lady. Iri Cockney, however, the /h/ sound is omitted from such words as “his and hers” even when stressed, which is usually not true of rural American speech in the Southeast or any where else. A specaker’s native dialect reveals nothing of his integri ty, potential intelligence, goodi will, or any other really im portant attribute of personality. Fact, is, it may lend a charm appealing to those to whom it is unfamiliar. READERS: For my free dis cussion pamphlet, send two stamps and a lotjg, self-ad dressed business envelope to M. H. Bouiware.

(UPI), Training, Placement Service Aided ByHuman Development CHICAGO, 111. - Between 90 and 100 Blacks, Indians and Spanish-speaking Americans in the Chicago area will be able to raise their income this ye.tr through a new project funded by the Campaign for Human Development, the Catholic Church’s crusade against do mestic poverty.

The money, when paid back, will provide a revolving fund totrain other drivers. The Catholic Laymen's As sociation will also assist the graduates in securing jobs. “We have commitments at the pre sent time to place at least 50 trainees'’ SquLres said. “The trucking industry has been real ly receptive to our program,” lie continued. Squires noted that ten men have already begun training, and should be em ployed as drivers by the end of September. These drivers are only a few of many low-income people in the U. S. who are bettering their lives through participation In the 135 self-help projects fund ed this year by the Campaign for Human Development.

C , SATURDAY, OCTOBER. 9. 1971 s4o,ooo Whitney Grant Makes Year Study Okay MEDFORD, Mass. - A $40,- 000 one-year grant from the John Hay Whitney Foundation makes possible a Tufts based Study Group on Continuing Edu cation for Urban Women. Mrs. Suzanne Lipsky will di rect the Study Group which is co-sponsored by the office of the Dean of Jackson College for Women at Tufts. The ori ginal proposal for the Stud} Group was initiated by the ad ministrators of the Tufts Con tinuing Education Program which began with ten students in September, 1970; 15 more en tered this fall. The Study Group grew out of the felt need of those people involved with the Tufts Con tinuing Education Program for “more knowledge about these women as students-their needs, goals, problems, strengths and talents.” The Tufts Program is thought to be the only university pro gram designed primarily to meet the needs of inner city low-income women (from minor it}' and non-minority groups) who have had experi ence with and shown ability in community leadership. The Study Group, which is separate from the program it self, hopes, according to Mrs. Lipsky, “to bring together var ious kinds of people to give a hard look at the speicai needs of our kind of student.” Mrs. Bernice Miller and former Jackson Dean and As soc. Prof. Antonia Chaves will be part-time consultants who will assist Mrs. Lipsky in de veloping a model pilot program %*>< at Tufts which will also “guide and encourage other Boston area institutions to establish similar or complementary pro grams. " Mrs. F o samund Rosenmeier and Mrs. Carol Green will be consultants In communication skills who will re sear i h the problems of teach ing adult women to read and to write.
