THESE CHORE EMPLOYEES are being trained on the job to provide homebound services to uurnam
County's elderly and sick population. The participants receive an increase in pay to $2.30 per hour and a certi
ficate at the end of the training program. Skill in home management, nutrition, how the department of Social
Services functions, and personal care and hygiene are taught; according to Ms. Dana Courney , a supervisor with
DDSS. Ms. Becky Freeman, a Durham County Health Department nutritionist (fourth from left) overlooks an
exercise where the participants play a nutrition game aimed at displaying how well they can categorize foods,
and plan diets for patients. The CHORE program is funded through the Title XX program. Ms. Courney said'
that a concern is the low pay scale and the fact that the job has little, if any, opportunity for advancement, but
additional funding would be needed from the county. (Photo by Bryant).

These days, a lot of families depend on
the combined incomes of a working husband
and wife."
The loss of either income would cause a
tremendous burden on the family. Yet most
people buy life insurance on just the husband.
, If you're in this category, you should call
your North Carolina Mutual agent today.
. ; Because the best insurance protection for
your family is a program that plans for all your
needs. iNotiustpart oi tnem. . .

' ':' Throughout the years, countless schemes and
dutripht rackets have deprived the Black com-
munity of millions of dollars of gross income,
' -They've, wasted the talents and skills of legions
.of -Black youths.

hookers, grafters, pushers, boosters, and bunco
artists.- : " ' - -
But, sornehow, we've survived.
J"Howevei,:as I travel today, to many of fye
crtws-'irr America. I am frightened by what I see
happening to Black Americans. Blacks are so
busy doing their own thing, they fail to recognize,
the big rip-off being perpetrated by the poweil
structure., 5
Not racism. But rather, how our greed and
. stereotyped self-images blind us to the tricks of
"the man.' Instead of .using our' God-given
minds, too many Black people shrilled "right oh"
when the National Administration and certain
cities pushed for the decriminalization of mari-
juana possession. Like lambs being led to
slaughter, too many Blacks smiled approval. Be
cause it strengthened their rationale that grass
: isn't harmful. ' . '
I can't, give an opinion based on personal ex
perience, but based on statements from former
addicts who appear at drug abuse seminars
sponsored by my employer, marijuana Users can
develop a, psychological dependence on thQ
drug. Which can lead to harder stuff. And a
harder road. .j
: We have a hard enough time getting a first
chance. When . you leave it to the discretion ot
the police to arrest or reprimand an individual,
how many Blacks do you think Will get a second
chance? . . ; t- ,' :
