wsmm mm Chronicle Profile No Time To Say Hello-~~Goodbye f-j-i I#*’' \ t Walter Farabee Walter Farabee stays so busy he might remind you of the rabbit, in Alice in Wonderland: “I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date.’’ Since it came to our attention that he was one of the “Big Four,’’ Winston-Salem’s high est ranking black offi cials, we tracked him to his lair m the NCNB buildmg. He was in conference once; once we just missed him. That evening, while we were strugglmg to make sense of the minority businessmen’s meeting at WSSU, Mr. Farabee walked by; “Hello. I’m sorry I missed your call. Can’t talk now. See you later this week...” Missed him again. Intermission at the Miss Black America Pageant.. .there’s Walter Farabee disappearing down the stairwell: “See you Mon-daaayy... ’ ’ comes the echo. Monday it was, and he seems to stay that busy. Phone lights twinkle from his desk. And little moimtains of paper wait for a moment of his time. “Fm just an integral cog in the machine of city govermnent, ’ ’ he says. “I don’t know why I stay so busy...” One reason is that he has a pretty important job. As Economic Deve lopment Co-ordinator, Mr. Farabee in charge of facilitating industrial re cruitment, planning and co-ordmating business development and em ployment opportunities. “People are always stopping me and askmg for a job,” he said in a puzzled voice. “I’m NOT the personnel man. I’m supposed to see about creating jobs, not filling them.” Another reason for his popularity may be the fact that he is enthusias tic, well-informed, and willing to listen. Mr. Farabee explains com plex business matters in very simple terms which show that he thoroughly understands them. He doesn’t need to hide behind the mystery of bureaucratic jargon be cause he knows what he’s doing. Ask him about eco nomic planning and his eyes sparkle with enthu siasm and he races from map to map. “Downtown is one of my top priorities,” he says. 'The fact that so many businesses are moving out of the downtown area worries him. bring the people back,’ he decided.

Candidates Engage In Fund Raising 7 Va. Fund raising was the major concern of several candidates for alderman last week. Larry Womble, a candi- W. date for alderman in the Southeast Ward, held a fund-raising fashion show at LaTerre XXI Sunday night. For a $7 donation, Womble supporters were treated to a program of fashions by Dera-Ta Fashions and furs by Anastasia. Music for the evening was provided by the Healing Force and by Bill Bright’s Jazz Quintet. One unexpected bit of fund-raising was a white mink stole, a surprise donation from Anastasia Furs, which was auctioned off to the highest bidder. The fur, valued at $800, went to La Terre’s owner Ron Goodwin for a $400 donation to the Womble campaign. Furs highlighted the fashion given Sunday night at LaTerre XXI. The program, presented hy Dera-Ta Fashions and Anastasia Furs, was part of a fund-raising drive for the campaign of Larry Womhle. who is nmning in the North Ward, was on hand to give moral support to Womble. Little held his own fund-raising banquet last Thursday night at Winston-Salem State Uni versity. The guest speaker was Lillian Lee, wife of Howard Lee, the former mayor of Chapel Hill. THIS IS THE LAW LIABILITY OF HOTELS According to Earline Parmon, one of the co-ordinators of the cam paign, it takes from $2700 to $3500 to operate a successful campaign. The Sunday fete should pro vide Womble with about 2/3 of that goal. Another candidate for Alderman, Larry Little What is the liability of a hotel for the property of a guest that is brought into a hotel? In North Carolina a hotel cannot be held liable for loss or damage of the property of a guest unless the loss results from the failure of the hotel to exercise ordinary care. Even then the hotel cannot be sued for an amount in excess of $100 if required notices have been posted. However, if a guest notifies the hotel in writing that his property exceeds $100 in value, and furnishes it with a list of the property and its value the hotel may be held liable for any loss or damage to the property resulting from negligence on its part. Proof of the loss of any such property, except in the case of damage or destruc tion by fire, is deemed prima facie evidence of the negligence of the hotel.

'The players, in black leotards on a stage bare except for a set of steps, captured their audience’s attention with a dramatic rendering of James Weldon John son’s poem, “The Crea tion.” The play is directed by Mrs. Flonnie Anderson, who wrote the drama with the assistance of the actors themselves.
