SAT; SEPTEMBER 29,1979 ' . Ding Blcsfis purnb6. ffo; fto, t KaprpcoqbDt ubbbor , After spending naif their lives in Northern cities many blactr are, returning to "the. South in; - .unprecedented numbers. , .P-. For . the- firs) , tijne in American ; history ;indr blacks are coming . to the South than leaving. This .trend may ..cause many other Northern families to think of pulling up stakes , and returning to what they remember as a peaceful, ruiet and wholesome liv tat environment. , Families with such . thoughts might do well to. closely examine this Southrn migration before making plans td return to the "good Ufe'Ii Many blacks" who have returned to the South are happy they jnadc ; the move, while others have ' found frustration and. disappointment:. K Older, completely retired, financial indepen-s dent couples aremost like ly to be happy in thpir new surroundings.; ; They tend to relax and i enjoy their : hobbies . free!4 of job pressures and social i;on- cerns. V 'p$!C-f.: Semi-retired, middle ag cd couples in their 40s and 50s are more likely to ex perience disappointment and regrets about resettle ment in the new South for many reasons. ; J Employment presents a big problem, both in equal employment opportunity and income. Although the income gap in the North and South is narrowing, wages are still disappoin tingly low. . Without political or ; , social influence, most jobs; above the $10,000 annual range are difficult to come by. And , a - considerable number of responsible jobs held by blacks above that range are Viewed by ; others blacks as window dressing. : '1' ' - MOst blacks who return ' 10. their native South' are considered -by nearly veryone as butside(s. in;, traders- and compcutors br jobs, recognition and social status.' .; Despite thesf barriers f . many . blacks who ' come home work hard to absorb themselves into! the maint- ' stream of their new com munities and enjoy the best of their new life. ' 'Belng; back home has;' Been much more fulfilling . then 1 had Expected.'' 1; Says: illiarn Aldridge, . ... who returned with is wife, - ,Eulalia to Spring Hope, N,C. after a . combined total of 89 years in Mont clair.'N.J. - . Their beautifully land scaped, modern brick ! home is one of the most attractive, in this . small Southern town of about 2,000 population. , ' The family farm plays a big role in the content ment of some homeward bound black families. After his father died Omega Hogwood and his family returned to Center ville, N.C. in 1971 after seventeen years in New York City to manage the 107 acre farm operation. He was followed in 1978 by his sister, Leonia and her husband, Ceil Watkins, who retired from the U.S. Postal Ser vice after 32 years. . "In addition to the fresh air and open spaces we milk our cow, make our own butter, and still grow sugar cane to make our , molasses." Boasted Hogwood. He was modest in discussing the size of their farm opeation, and belatedly mentioned the ISO-head hog farm arid "a ' 1VTT vaill . ; Watkins, who is disabl ed and lives on the family farm , is constantly Oc cupied supporting .the farm operations and pur suing his hobby in carpen try, i He is busy tearing down the abandoned homeplace and using the 100 year-old solid logs to build a new strorage building. A highly succeessful convenience mart is operated in rural Spring Hope, N.C. by - Odessa Wortham, an attractive, middle aged widow who spent twenty years in Philadelphia, Pa. before returning home in 1966. . "When my husband and I opened this store in 4969 we had no idea it would become such an im portant part of my life", she said, "It keeps me busy and at the same time enables me to make a de cent living." '' ; The store is located across the road from her aging mother's home, and a brother who lives within a mile takes turns filling in . with the store operation. "Life here is more wholesome and I have more freedom to make my ... own decisions", Mr. Wor tham went on. "I'm glad I returned home and re established . my-life near other members'' of my family who are,, so dear to me." -:-rrl- .. The belief that the cost of living is cheaper in the South is often misleading. It is for the. family who lives in the country and produces most of their , food.

' Otherwise, .food and cjothing are usually more expensive then in large cHi of the North. - Quite often life has not been as fulfilling for many blacks who chose not to leave the South, and they remain a part of the scene for those who left and returned. f Nearly half of the black population in the South live below the poverty level of $5,700 and occupy the lowest rungs on the social ladder. , More than one out of five eligible voters in the South is black, but less than one in ten go to the polls on election day. Social, political and. economic change- have come slow to those who would benefit most by change.
