WSSU Alumnus Stars In Cleveland Play Gloria Dean, a WSSU alumnus, will play the title role in “Veronica’s Room,” a drama produc tion of the You Are A Cabaret Theatre in Cleve land, Ohio. Mrs. Dean recently moved to Cleveland from Chicago, where she had a promising acting career, including some professio nal shows, radio commer cials, and industrial films. When her husband; Rich ard Hyde, a district} sales manager with Schlitz, was transferred to Cleveland, she wondered about op portunities to act. She soon discovered that Cleveland boasts about 60 community the atres — one of which gave her a role on the day she called to inquire about them. Mrs. Dean, who also holds a Masters in learn ing disabilities, compared her two major interests, saying: “Acting and teaching have at least one thing in common. Both deal with building self- images. A child who doesn't feel good about himself may have trouble learning to read. As an actor I have to feel good about myself to be willing to share myself with an audience.” League/PTA Host Education Forum How does the school board function?

The episode, GIRL SCOUTING & THE WILD KINGDOM, offers a rare insight to the different wildlife projects that have been undertaken by the modem Girl Scout. As host Marlin Perkins states, “The future of the world’s wildlife lies in the hands of our young peo ple, and the work being done by the Girl scouts makes it obvious that it is very much in the right hands. ’ ’ This special report opens in California, at the North County Wildlife Rescue and ’Treatment Center, where Girl Scouts of the San Diego-Imperial Council are diligently working to help rehabiU- tate wild animals that are injured or orphaned. A red-tailed hawk with a broken wing, an imder- nourished mule deer fawn, a motherless racoon and a bobcat with a bro ken leg are all shown being helped by Girl Scouts at the Center. ’The animals that ha 'e been rehabihtated here are taken to a Girl Scout camp 60 miles northeast of San Diego and released into their natural environ ment.

Womble Urges Library Use by Yvette McCullough Staff Reporter “The East Winston Lib rary is not being utilized to its fullest potential,” Larry Womble, an admi nistrative assistant at Old Town Elementary told a small group last Wednes day night at the East Winston Library. As part of its celebration of “Afro American History Month” the East Winston Library is presenting programs this month, on Wednes days from 7-9. Womble, an unsuccess ful candidate for alderman in the Southeast Ward, gave a short talk on the importance of using the library. He said that he used the library as a kid and that it was the main activity place in East Win ston. “I’m in education and have worked in various schools,” Womble said. “Ask friends and neigh bors to support activities in the library. I know the importance of using the library. You should check out your history and check out your ancestors.” Margaret Allen, libra rian at East Winston Lib rary, said that there are a lot of Black Personalities that blacks haven’t heard about. “There’s no excuse for people being ignorant when there is a library,” Mrs. Allen said. “The first place to start is in the East Winston Library.” The theme of last Wed nesday’s program was “Personalities of Famous Black Americans” and films were shown on Jesse Owens and James Weldon Johnson. Jesse Owens was a sprinter and broad jumper and was the star of the Olympic games held in Berlin, Germany in 1936. Owens won gold metals in the 100-meter dash, 200- meter dash, the broad jump and was the anchor man on the U.S. 400- meter relay team. James Weldon Johnson was author of numerous books of both prose and verse. His more notable works are “The Autobio graphy of an Ex-Colored Man”, a fictional bio graphy published in 1912 and “The Creation” which is still performed today. Johnson’s poem “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was adopted in the 1930’s as the black’s na tional hymn. The Flora Buffs Flower Club decorated Fire Sta tion Number 12 on New Walkertown Road Satur day, for the Fire Station’s dedication ceremony. The Flora Buffs, which grow their own plants and flowers, have established a group at Winston-Salem State University.

There will be no formal structure at all — each citizen wiU come and speak, or just listen, as he sees fit.
