Ms. Bryant spoke on the subject: ‘ ‘What is the Status of Women?” Herspeech follows: ‘‘Basically we want to pro mote peace and understanding between the sexes. We are not a women’s lib group and we are not out to threaten fem inity or masculinity. Our pro gram has nothing to do with who opens doors for whom, or who pays the restaurant check. What the program does invol ve is an effort to promote public awareness of the atti tudes of women and of men toward women, and to find out in each county what the needs of women are. “We are trying to fit the needs of each individual coun ty. It is hard for the state to set up something for each county because each one is different and this is why each county should have its own coordina tor and council to study the needs of women there. “The council programs em phasis helping women find resources already available to enable them to help them selves. We try to promote self- suffiency and the pride that goes with it rather than the stay where 1 am philosophy. Some people need a good dose of ambition. - “So many times a woman has a problem and doesn’t know where to turn. We are reaching out to these women. We want to let people know what the problems are on the local level, and help them cope with them. Our local offices receives numerous phone calls. My co-worker on the county council and myself help those that we can and refer the others to the proper agencies. “We get lots of calls from women whose husbands have left them. We get calls from handicapped persons, and from women who fee! they are being discriminated against in their jobs. Numerous calls come in from senior citizens who feel that they have been forgotten. We get calls on cases of child abuse, alcoho lism problems, and women seeking employment. We ser ve men as well as women, and on several occasion have been successful in placing men and women on jobs. “We are a statutory agency established by the General Assembly and we can not lobby for ERA. The Council has its purpose; “To identify the status of women in each county by assembling existing informa tion, conducting original re search and other appropriate means; “To disseminate informa tion on the status of women; “To serve as the official advisory body on the status of women to the County Board of Commissions, to prepare an annual report to the board and to recommend appropriate ac tion regarding the status of “To promote development of the potential of each woman and. “To increase public under standing of the problems, needs and abilities of women and serve as a clearing house of information regarding the aforementioned. “What would you do if you were suddenly left alone? This is a question the Council is trying to help women answer, Would you be able to carry on family business alone? Do you know whether you could write checks on your bank account? Do you know the inheritance laws of North Carolina con cerning survivors? “We do not pretend to know or have all the answers, but we do have the resources to channel your questions to the proper agencies.” Page 3, The Carolina Indian Voice A CETA Profile ATLRDA Mrs. RacheELocklear Mrs. Rachel Locklear, plctor- ed above, entered the work experience component of the CETA program, which Is ad ministered by Lnmbee Re- gionai Development Associa tion, in January, 1975.
