DeVone, a former employee of the Greensboro Reaeation Deoartment
worked as director of Windsor Community Center. Prior to returning Jo .
Greensboro in 1970, he was stationed at NATO-SHAPE Headquarters In
Belgium between 1968 and 1970. He was the assistant director of
Wamersville Community Center before he entered the U. S. Army in 1967.
He is currently employed by the Durham Housing Authority as reaeation
coordinator. He has completed his graduate course work at the University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in recreation administration.
DeVone said that he saw the heed for a device such as his. while
stationed in Europe. He relates that his invention whcflj can also be used as
a sun shade, mini-picnic table and as a shield from the rain.ias a trademark
for his invention, but he re refers to it as a "bicycle, top" at the present
time. His attorney has been prosecuting his patent applications which are
due to be issued. DeVone states that his invention "would have been quite
useful overseas, as it can be useful in the United States." He said that the
bike top is currently retailing for $60 and up, and most of the money that
was putfinto developing his device has been to construct different models
so that people in every economic bracket can afford to buy it
The inventor, turned businessman, relates that he "hopes interestered
persons will not wait untU a seasonal rush such as Christmas to purchase
my product, because this would mean that it might be difficult to expand
Into other geographical market areas and at the same time provide for the
local demand. This would mean that 1 would have to hire additional people
which would probably drive the price up, and I would not like to see this
occur." v
In an effort to avoid a possible price increase, he has sought a Small
Business loan and anticipates offering stock to the public in the near
future. He said that he is responding to all inquiries which he receive
through the mail and other communications. '

I will always love music, will
always remember and cherish the
memory of that which brings mner
peace to my ears and my mifld and
the ears and minds of many.lmany
Black people. For here is a positive
strength: one who can, through
music and song, deliver thosd ever
so precious words of beauty and
wisdom to the wanting ear, Iishall
always love the musk I hearij one
Thursday evening in the scjhool
auditorium where Roy Avers and
his highly talented musical fleam
made music. , Skillfully, thej(
brought to my. ears the sweet,
rhythms and sounds that that gives
consolation for the many!
sometimes seemingly fruitless years I
tit ttruovle. Thev war vihrationi of

r r i : i r 1
my craving ior a aupay 01
creativity which echoed its
sweetness to the tastebuds of my ;
mind. And I'm teliin you, it was
good. Damn good. That was one
mindblowing show and the whole
experience of it caught me by
surprise and grabbed me ever so
good.
1 mean I've seen a show before
where the guys were so mean that
they had the audience put on a
show of their own but when it
comes to the Roy Ayers show, the
whole experience was absolutely
incredible and tends to put one in a
state of an emotional high.
Now imagine a dude who is so
bad, who knows how bad he is, and
who tells the audience to sit down.
"Now, what I'm going to play
right now," Ayers shouted to the
racked auditorium, "is gonna be so
bad, that it's gonna make
everybody in here stand up...and I '
don't want you to stand up unless
its good." '
And then he started to beat out
some notes on his xylophone and
everybody stood right on up!
But check out Roy Ayers'
back-up. (or maybe front-up
would be a better word) There s
Uucas, a beautiful Black sister who
can sing her off. No joke. She's
got to have one of the most
versatile voices I've ever heard. And
she exercises it with a precision
most commonly' attributed to the
diamond cutter, polishing her tyrics
as if they were precious gems.
It might be a little difficult to .
imagine the kinds of vibrations that
was floating through that place, but
check this out. The crowd did a
whole continuous show for about
thirty minutes of intermission
keeping the beat with sticks and
anything they could get their hands
on to beat out the rhythms. They
were in frenzy and H must havet ,,
meant that Roy Ayers must have
been doing something very
righteous to them. The feelings
were just plain "dynamite because
it opened my mind to a lot of the
things that so many more Black
artists are all about these" days.
People have been saying for some
time now, "what happened to the
movement?" just because they
didn't see the show of hands when
they asked for all the
revolutionaries to raise their hands
so that everybody could see who
they were. What they dont realize
is that things got a little more
sophisticated and I can see it in the
work of these Black artists: they
who deliver the messages to the
masses in the' highest of artistic
ways. Though Roy Ayers has been
around for some time, I see him as
the epitome of the new Black artist,
because he comes off in dialogue as
well as music and song.
And the dialogue has nothing to
do with the "I love you baby, will
you be mine" stuff. This show was
for, real about real down-to-earth
material and because of this, it is a
show that I will remember for a
mighty long time.

This time of year is a favorite for
those who enjoy a slight chill in the
air and the church of fallen leaves
under foot Lately it seems there
are leaves, leaves everywhere,
however, and this can get to be a
problem. j
The City of Durham Sanitation
Division can help with this problem
if citizens remember some simple
rules. Leaves should be put in
cardboard boxes, plastic bags or
standard garbage cans and placed
on the curb on regular collection
days. Dead limbs also will be
picked up if they are tied in
bundles and placed on the curb.
These bundles should be no more
than four feet in length and j no
more than 18 inches in diameter.
Each bundle must weigh less than
75 pounds.
If citizens want leaves for
mulching, the city will deliver
leaves that have been vacuumed off
the streets. However, the delivery
point must be accessible to the
delivery truck. Please call 688-5559
to request this service.
