“I thought we would
have a stronger vote,”
said C.C. Ross a former
Alderman from the East
Ward and losing candi
date for the North Caro
lina State House. ‘‘The
black community didn't
come out like we wanted
and I think if they had, I
would have made a better
showing.”
Ross finished eighth in
a 10-man field, with an
unofficial vote of 4,549.

According to figures re
leased by State Personnel
Director Harold Webb,
the Hunt Administration
has only ten more blacks
at the highest level of
state government than it
had in June of 1976. The
number of black females
holding top positions has
actually decreased by
21%.
The study, showing
employment figures as of
March 9, 1978, show that
the state still has 1,48
white male employees in
the officials & Adminis
trators Category, and only
68 black males and 19
black females in top posi
tions.
During the past twenty
months. Black employ
ment has only increased
1.3%, while white male
employment has de
creased 1.7%.
Webb, one of only four
black state personnel di
rectors in the nation, sta
ted: “Overall, I think
we’ve established a trend
that’s positive. We’ve
moved off dead center,
and we are making pro

think Miami will be a
challenge and I'm looking
forward to it.
Bond said that he is not
the type of person to toot
his own horn, but he feels
he’s made some major
contributions.
“When I worked for
ESR I got to know and
learn a lot about people,”
Bond said.
Bond was the deputy
director of the Community

executive director of the
Concentrated Employ

“When I was working
for ESR I was working
outside the “establish

Bond said. “When I
worked for the city I was
working for the ‘establish
ment,’ but I was still
trying to change it; how
ever, some people only
saw me as the “establish
ment.”
Bond was chosen for the
assistant manager job in
Miami out of 300 appli
cants.

Logan Burke, chairman
