establishment fear and guilt.
Being oppressed or incarcerated
under an inhuman groverning
system, is to be subjected to
complete dehumanization, in
various forms. To be incarcerated in
North Carolina Penal System is to
witness all tactics of oppression,
terrorism, brutality, discrimination,
selectivity, intimidation, threats,
mental agonyharrassmcnt, etc. So
it is in our present situation.

male prison unit, where we were
shipped as a result of a stand made
June 15-19 against the inhuman
treatment and conditions we were

FOR UP-TO-THE-MINUTE CAMPUS NEWS
CHARLOTTE, N. C. - Mrs.
Turney calls herself "The
Sheepherder" and will be exhibiting
her sheepskin articles in the
Southern Christmas Show,
November 11-16 at the Charlotte
Merchandise-mart
You wouldn't think sheepskin
coats would be popular in the
South, but Mrs. Sam Turney
, (Georgia), a native of Washington
State who now lives with her
husband and two children in
Butner, N. C, says the warm skins
do very well here.
. Mrs. Turney made coats, vests,
hats, gloves and mukluks from
sheepskin to finance her husband's
college education at Washington
State University and when he
became a research scientist with
Monsanto in the Research Triangle
last year, she wanted to continue
her sheepskin business.
"I really had reservations about
how sheepskin would do here.
because of the warmer climiate,"
Mrs. Turney said. "But 1 find that I
people here get cold sooner than 1 1
do and they like something that is I
different."
After they moved to Butner in
September, 1 974, Mrs. Turney took
her skins to some craft shows to get
a feel for their reception. "I love
the smell and the feel of sheepskin
and I love to sell it to people," she
commented. "People like to feel it
and trv it on and ask Questions and '
I liicfe-Jhe rnifsttwine hi IM ntmn-r ' 0i
sell any other way.''
The most popular items are the
mukluks, the wool-lined boots, she
said, and mittens are the next
popular.. "Everyone loves them"
she noted. "Not only the college
student but the polyester pantsuit
generation too."
"A man who was enrolled in the
diet program at Duke University
heard about the coasts and came
for a fitting. He had a 66-inch waist
and said he had never been able to
get a coat to fit him. I cut a pattern
out of newspaper and made him a
,.c.oai,. andJic .cap.s,j,t..his
'flock-of-sheepskin coat." .,
Mrs. Turney inherited her love J
of sewing from her mother and
grandmother who were both fine j
seamstresses. She started making
clothes at the age of 1 1 and was
tailoring at 14. Her own daughter,
now 10, made her summer
wardrobe this year.
Mrs. Turney began working with
sheepskin four years ago when a
leather make for whom she did
special order work in Washington
gave her some sheepskins to make a
coat.
"Sheepskin has different
properties from leather and I had to
learn how to work with it.
Then came slippers, hats, vests and
mukluks. I also work with rabbit
and make hats and slippers, from'
rabbit skins.'
Mrs. Turney uses sueded
shearling, a suede lambskin, in
natural colors of off-white, brown
and tan that she buys from
tanneries in New York, Boston and
California.
"President Ford's wife wore a
sheepskin coast when they were in
Vail, Colorado, and McCloud on
television wears a sheepskin coat,"
she said.
The Southern Christmas Show is
full of Christmas attractions for all
ages, including decorating ideas and
holiday foods, fashion shows, a
Christmas flower show, and
hundreds of booths carrying
traditional and contemporary
crafts, boutique and bazaar items,
and an art gallery.
Show hours are 10 a.m. to 10
p.m. weekdays and Saturday and
from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
