Paae 2-The Chronicle, Saturday, January 24, 1981 r 9- ^ ' ?-? - ? Fight Brewing : return in misery and suffering and a low return in economic benefits. The city will be rewarding property ; owners who haven't maintained. It will create a housing shortage that will adversely affect the market and cause - speculation," he said. T~ Erlitz told the Chronicle Tuesday afternoon that the ;; relocation program advocated by the East Winston Restoration Association would hurt low and moderate income people, and he suggested instead the SI.3 million earmarked for acquisition, demolition and relocation be -viewed for the rehabilitation of existing housing and new :housing. : He told the board that 119 families would be moved, :: forcing them to compete with people from the Liberty3 Patterson neighborhood and Columbia Terrace. He also said that the number of people affected by the expansion rof R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., should also be added to ~ the list. J* ? "All of the people being moved are black. It is a i mistake to break up neighborhoods - to scatter people : around the city is a bad thing. We should keep f neighborhoods together," Erlitz said. He concluded, "The city can and should spend money : on housing for low and moderate income people." Edwin L. Patterson, representing Lloyd United : Presbyterian Church on Chestnut Street told the - aldermen, "People in the Chestnut area want their homes fixed up. The people in the community have a sense of : community pride and good citizenship. They have form: ed a savings club, a flower club and have incorporated Local Rally from page "He marched in Atlanta on. If we stop for even one and Watts.

We must keep marching apology, for Mayor Wayne Gay Life from page 1 same sex. This marked the first time that an open forum hacLbeen held on this issue in our city. For an hour and a half a panel of psychologists and counselors led by Ms. Donna Burke and consisting of Dr. M.A. Schubert, Dr. Wayne Sotile and Dr. Ted Dougherty spoke and responded to questions from the audience on issues of homosexuality. The discussion appeared to lead to the conclusion "that homosexuality is not an illness nor is it the greatest of sins! that nrf?K1?mc #K? f--- -* e ...... K>ww.vuu uiw iiviuuscAuai) lawc sieni irom anxiety over a fear of detection, and a low self-esteem due to a life of rejection; and that homosexuals should be ; respected as individuals and helped to improve theif pro: duction, and the quality of their life." Other points made during the seminar were: - Over 10 percent of the population is homosexual. - The incidence of homosexuality is not increasing. Homosexual parents want their children to be r heterosexual. z - Homosexuals are no better adjusted nor are they no : more maladjusted than are heterosexuals. - Homosexuals who have come out of the closet appear r to be well adjusted. r: ' - There is no one cause of homosexuality, a few choose . to be homosexual, but others have no choice. - Society should encourage self-fulfillment and all ' i should be respected as individuals. - Problems arise whenThe principal programmers of z life, the family and religion, are challenged at an age - when the individual does not possess sufficient skills to ^ deal with such grave issues as sexuality or morality. z - Complications arise when there is no group to turn to : such as the family nest for support. - There is a place for some homosexualtiy in all of us. - The issue of homosexuality will eventually fade from : the scene as it is often raised by persons in high places : who are uneasy about their own sexuality.

The seminar was one in a series of eleven seminars in 2 the Mental Health Assoication's "Introspect 480-81" Series. The seminars look for answers to life's problems . with the aim of promoting good mental healthfby stressing prevention of mental disorders. Other topics to be considered in the 480-481 Series in: elude: 4'stress management, talking about sex, teenage suicide, mind and body, displaced homemaker, explainin! death to children, civilizing your child, and being a single parent in a couple's world." The seminars which are open to the public at no charge are held at the Highland Presbyterian Church. The next seminar will be held February 17 and it will deal with "Mental Health Systems: Who? What? Where? How ; Much? t ~' *- '? "-< ? n -?in , ,IM_ ??

Other East Winston residents, voicing displeasure about the possibility of being re-located, asked the board to consider alternative programs and to invest the federal money back into their communities A 50-year resident of Archer Street, Cromas Archie fbld the board, "There are a lot of old fellows in the community. Many of them are widowed, some of them have no legs. The people in the community take care of these men. If they had to relocate, they wouldn't last 30 days," Archie said. "Last year, the sewage was so bad in my house that 1 had to move," said Rachael McLendon of Granville Street, adding, "After I moved, the owner fixed up both the inside and the outside and raised the rent." Tracy Singletary, a spokesman for the local branch of tU- ? i A ** - * me ixuuunai association ior me Advancement of Colored People and a former contractor, said that many of the homes considered for demolition are structurally sound. "Do you know what causes substandard housing? It's when there are more people than there are houses and the landlords can rent without fixing up places. Houses are dying from lack of preventive medicine," he said addirig-^ "Placing emphasis on rehabilitation would* put pres<air& on the landlords to fix up the houses." Veronica Templeton, spokesperson for the Housing Task Force of the Winston-Salem Improvement Association asked the board for a moritorium on tearing down houses until people can be moved. mmilllHIIIIIMIMIMMimill?ll?l?IIIUIIIt?UII?
