-THK CAROLINA TUCKS SATURDAY, JULY SI, 19111 6A Writers Forum m ■ ■ H ■■ i ■■ ■ MIL AMD MRS. GEO. RUSS AND MRS. STEWART • Writers Forum has taken on the aspects of a deserted recreation center. All the noise has gone; all that is left is nostalgia for more good times with good friends. "The bite in the bar-be-cue sauce has lost its teeth." Nothing is left of the robust fun of fighting agunst losing odds and the ris ing tide of despair - the vol canic explosion of joy that comes with the announcement that a major victory has been won - "we've done it again!" Hi is awful emptiness is only a lull. Soon, perhaps too soon, the walls will shud der from the impact of voices trying to drive home a point shake the group out of its in difference. Speaking of being shaken out of one's noncha lance toward what is going on at a Forum meeting brings to mind the tonal quality of our July session: Out of the clear blue, mem bers were summoned to a meeting at Forum head quarters; on a sultry Sunday morning at 7:30. The an nouncement spread like wild fire; "the VJ.P. is in town. And she has called a 'fore day meeting Sunday morning. Busi ness of importance. What busi ness?" Everyone asked. How ever, previous plans were scut tled without knowing the na ture of the call meeting. A to tal of seven members and three visitors made the deadline, sleepy eyed, disconcerted and inquisitive: What is this meet ing all about? When did Mrs. Nannie Stewart arrive in Dur ham? Is she staying at head quarters? Why ail the mystery? Mrs. N. L. Stewart, Personal Relations Person of Writ/? Forum, arrived at 7:25, b.''-« and shining as a morning star, the planet Venus rising in the east shortly br'ore the sun. Whatever misgivings pre vailed prior to the lady's sen suous "good morning, my friends," underwent a sudden change. Everyone scrambled to his feet and hurried to where the radiant lady stood. The announcement of breakfast was delayed ten min utes in order to give everyone a chance to properly express his or her best wishes. While the group sipped tangy cranberry juice, Mrs. Stewart gave an outline of her plans for the day. "My family doesn't know I am in Durham. 1 am stopping at the Down towner because I need lots of privacy. Hie work 1 am doing demands my undivided atten tion. My daddy would have a fit if be knew I was this cloee to home without his know ing." Over a breakfast of country scrambled egp, grits Canadian bacon, crem'e gravy, hot bis cuits butter, orange marma lade hot coffee, the P. R. P. pve a progress report of the Roee Bulter Brown Founda tion. "I have been dividing a bugh ""p of the U.S.A. into regions. I am counting on Writers Forum to head up one of these regions. This is a Bust." While the lady of the hour 4>readed a biscuit with orange marmalade, got a refill of cof fee, Mis. S. H. RUSS, general secretary, read a recent finance report; and Paul Harrison pas sed out several free hand draw tap of stock certificates for the group to make a selection. After much deliberation, the rize certificate was aa lected. Hence, the billfold size coupons will replace the 12 x 12 notes. Mrs. N. L. S. looked on attentatively as the officers ex changed notes, transferred fig ures, leafed through pages of ledgers for missing data. Final ly she spoke out, I want all Forum cash transferred from the checking account to a sav ings account. Beginning to morrow, Writer Forum's cash will begin earning money. We have done well, all things con sidered-but, that is not good enough. We must concentrate on how to make money. We are far away from making our first million dollars." The lady was storming the fort; "part of my business here at this time is to stir some action into this organization." Several Salisbury visitors were seated opposite the VJJ*. Dewey Randall, Mrs. Willie Mae Randall (mother) and Mrs. Annie V. Clark. They sat spell bound watching the flaying hands of the pretty speaker as they belted the air. Just as she was making the point concern ing the Forum's first million dollars, a giggle escaped some member seated around the long table. At this point, our spokesman's mental dandruff began flaking, plus, her dark eyes flashed angrily for a mo ment, however, in a matter of seconds, she was in full control of her flurried emotions; "there is nothing wrong or funny about wanting to make money. We as a race need more money. Even the ancients realized the importance of money-moo-la-dough- 'money enswereth all things.' " Taking i bite of icy water, she gulped, h» picked up her thread of through; "money is important U: everyone. Blacks have had :iv amounts of money, rney don't have any idea of the wonderful things money can do. money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make complete use of the other flve.' Who said that?" She asked, and took another bite of the icy water in the glass her fingers clutched. "Sumerset Mangham," a male voice meekly answered. "Thank you, Paul-and folk, don't forget, ever, if writers forum cant make money, we need to dose shop. Listen, and listen good, as Rousseau wrote, 'money is the seed-of money, and the fint guinea is some times more difficult to acquire than the second million." Dear Writer: Writers Forum will give you a comprehensive report on Richmond S. Stewart's book- "Tomorrow, I will Dye My Hair-" next week. Writers Forum will cele brate its first anniversary on or before August 15,1971. WORKING TO CLEAN Everybody knows what deter gents do but how do they work? Actually there are two principal ingredients in deter gents: a surfactant and phos phate. The surfactant actually make the water "wetter" so that soil can be loosened from fab rics and other surfaces. The phosphate increases the effi ciency of the surfactants, soft ens the water, keeps the dirt away from the laundry surface, and performs other necessary jobs to get our laundry clean.
