The Voluntary Ploys Needed An Invaluable Role The voluntary agency is a "highly desirable—but seriously endangered part of the Amer ican tradition, and it does not deserve to survive if it does not change in response to the real needs of people," said Alex ander J. Allen, National Urban League Deputy Executive Dir ector recently. Allen, who is in charge of admistrative and public af fairs at one of the nation's largest interracial voluntary ag encies. warned that America may revert to the European pattern "where everything is done by the atate or it is not done at all," unless volunteer ism undergoes changes in the areas of "relevancy and effi ciency." Speaking July 13th at the 42nd Annual Great Lakes In stitute for Health and Welfare at George Williams College in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, Allen told an estimated 60 educators, health and welfare administra tors and other professionals from across the nation that relevancy meant "tearing down the walls of tradition and pol icy which have denied services to out-groups such as Chicanos, native Americans, Puerto Ricans, Asians and blacks." "Another dimension of rele vancy is to make certain, as we move toward advocacy, that we do not presume to speak for the dispossessed The voice of the man who knows the DIXIE DARLING YTYRNKV ENRICHED WHITE \OEK\ BREAD I MADE WITH BUTTERMILK NilljjTK 1% lb.

In the area of efficiency, Allen said that "the explosion of the Sixties has wiped out"" the sharp dividing line between social work and business, lead ing among other things to sharp reassessment of federated fund raising campaigns by local busi nessmen and a new posture among many local United Ways. Disciplines other than social work must now be brought to bear on the financing, volun tary manpower and staff of voluntary agencies, "to get maximum results with mini mum waste and duplication of effort," he declared. Allen called specifically for in-service staff training at all levels; a requirement that boards and staff "undergo the discipline" of adopting formal mission statements; improved quantifiable management in formation systems; pre-plan ning and the setting of prior ities; and above all a new com mitment to "accouitf ibility" and "quality performance." Such actions are just the com mon sense of good manage ment, he added, Lut necessary to ensure that voluntary agen cies do survive to serve those who need them. "This country is in a sense suffering from a sickness-peo ple just don't care any more," Allen declared, and asked that LT. COL. JOHN H. BRANCH JR., a Hageistown native and a 1955 graduate of Morgan State College, has been appointed professor and chair man of the Department of Military Science at Morgan State College. A member of the military since 1956, Col Branch has been in service throughout Europe and the Near and Far East. Since summer, 1971, CoL Branch has been a full time student in the college's Grad uate School of Arts and Sciences pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Secondary Education Administration and Superviaon. He will receive his degree at the close of the Graduate School's summer ses sion. volunteerism rediscover its commitment to the community to justify its future in America.

Children Honqf Educator After 38talis Of * 11 Mrs. Bertha Scott Hem don of Apex, «u honored recently : at a Retirement Testimonial Dinner givendfy her children - Medames Kathleee Hemiy and ; Eraeidine Bailey, and Leon Herndon. The festive affair was held at Cary C. Jones Memorial Park, Apex. Approximately 125 relatives, friends, co workers, former students, and elementary, high school, and college classmates joined in the celebration. Mrs. Herndon began her ' education in a one teacher school in Wake County - Scotts Grove. Since there was no edu cational opportunity for Blacks in the area beyond the sixth grade level, it appeared that her formal educational training would terminate at the sixth grade. However, she was afforded the opportunity to live in Durham, and attend Hillside Park, graduating in 1929. Her college training was received at North Carolina Central University, Durham, A&T University, Greensboro, and Shaw University, Raleigh, where she received her A. B. degree. She kept abreast with newer innovations in educa tion through summer sessions, workshops, and reading. She views the ungraded and open classroom concept as a repeat of her., earlier experiences in education. Mrs. Herndon began her teaching career in 1931 with the Chatham County Board of Education, Pittsboro, and served Clark, Wilson, Hay wood, Horton, and Pittsboro Primary schools during her tenure. Just prior to school closing this spring, she was Black Labor Preferential Question Is preferential treatment of black workers unfair to whites? Should hiring qualifications be lowered to offer greater oppor tunities for blacks and other disadvantaged groups? In their new book BLACKS IN THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD, Issues for the Manager (Free Press, 1972), Theodore V. Purcell and Gerald F. Cavanagh argue that most preferential practice is really an equalizing effort that does not in fact give balck people an advantage over whites, but simply makes equal competition with whites a rea sonable possibility. The authors present a cru cial, penetrating study of the role of the black worker on both the corporate and plant levels of American business. They give new, practical, and disturbing yet constructive in sights into how industry can contribute towards healing the racial split that separates Amer icans from each other. The major emphasis of this study is on listening to the people involved in the indus trial world: black and white workers, union leaders, fore men and plant managers. Ex tensive field work included over 300 inverviews with hourly paid men and women at six locations: Chicago, Lynchburg (Virginia), Buffalo, Memphis, Boston and East Pittsburgh. In addition, the authors consulted corporate managers, labor, civil rights and government leaders, examined equal employment statistics, and lived in both black communities and low in come white neighborhoods for the eight months of their field study. BLACKS IN THE INDUS TRIAL WORLD presents the first in-depth study of the re actions of black and white workers to each other and to recent black employment poli cies. It is an important book that analyzes basic corporation social responsibilities. Authors Purcell and Cavanagh have pro vided vital reading for business managers, managers of non profit organizations, organiza tional and industrial psycholo gists and sociologists, as well as any individual who is affected by or concerned with race rela tions in American life.

HERNDON presented a plaque from the Chatham County Board of Education and a silver pitcher and tray from the principal and faculty at Pittsboro Pri mary. Mrs. Herndon is the widow of the late Garland W. Hern don. She is attacking her re tirement with the same en thuaasm as her teaching career - getting involved to help 'others.
