Mrs. Earline Parmon, BPAL Membership Chairman, urged non-members present to join and support BPAL, and Rev. Charles Green, Chairman of the Breakfast, in dicated that other unity breakfasts will be held in the not too distant future. BPAL is composed of precinct chairmen and first vice chairmen and representatives of various groups and organizations in the black community. Its purpose is to articulate issues and concerns of the black community and to provide the political machinery to support capable and qualified candidates. The group was pleased to observe on their way to the breakfast and to hear that the Mechanics and Farmers bank building was on schedule and that the bank should be ready to open in September. There was concern ex pressed that the bank was not engaging in banking opera tions now in a temporary building. White stated that the bank is prohibited legally from doing any banking business in the community until the building is ready.

From his own staff, which is the administrative arm or the prime sponsor for CETA in Winston- Salem, Farabee lost a man power coordinator; two in dependent monitors; two intermediate accountant clerks, a receptionist and an accounting technician. There are over 470 prime sponsors in the country with 13 of them in the state. What is not done by the state prime sponsors is handled up by State Human Services Director Howard Lee’s office. Summer employment is another area that Farabee says he expects to be cut by the Reagan administration. “Because of the freeze and budget cuts, we won’t be able to serve as many of the youth of the city through summer jobs like we did last year,” he said, adding, that he is hoping to get 500 teenagers jobs for the summer. According to a White House press aide, the presi dent is requesting that the Youth Employment and Training Program (YETP) and the Youth Community Conservation Improvement (YCCIP) be folded into CETA’s basic employment and training programs, along with Title IIBC and the Summer Youth Employment Program. Although the president is proposing no change in the FY81 budget authority or outlays for YETP/YCCIP, he is requesting that there be no expenditures for the two youth programs in FY82 and no new legisla tion to replace them.
