Page 2 - The Chronicle, Thursday, December 3, 1981 James Hansley Businessman Meets With Reagan Sf By Yvonne Anderson Staff Writer ■lames Hansley, president of Vanguard Investment Co. Inc. of Winston-Salem, took part in a presidential briefing held on Nov. 16 at the White House, as a representative of the American Association of Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment Com panies (AAMESBIC), the trade organization for the MESBIC industry. According to Hansley, President Reagan was specifically interested in suggestions on how to help small business in light of his economic recovery plan. Hansley said that one of the major concerns of small businesses is the over regulation of the industry, which only serves to hurt the small business through higher overhead costs. Vice President George Bush was appointed by the President to conduct research into the effects of regulation on the small business and come up with solutions to ease the pro blem. “It was primarily a public relations gesture on the part of the White Hou.se because MESBIC was supportive of the President’s economic programs when they were first introduced,” said Hansley, “'even though there was substantial disagreement amoung us about the details of the plan,” he was quick to add. The focus of discussion went to an Enterprise Zones and Urban Jobs Proposal that is currently being drafted at the White House. Hansley explained that the proposal grew out of the supply side economic school, first articulated by Jack Kemp (R-NY), to give tax credits and other incen tives to businesses which located themselves in distressed areas (inner cities). “From my vantage point, the proposal is geared to the wrong thing because it isn’t James Hansley, president of Vanguard Investment Co.

Chronicle reporters polled several local residents. When asked if they at tended church, some residents had this to say: Jabear Raheem-‘"He\\, 1 am of the Muslim faith, but 1 do worship five times dai ly, plus attend Mosque.

I’ve got to serve God especially now as never before.” Nimrod Weathers-“Yes, indeed, I do go to chruch.

At first, 1 thought everyone in church was putting on a show, but I found out that there are really some for-real people in church,” Larry Thredgild-‘‘Yes 1 go. At first, it was just church to learn how I may -something to'do on Sunday, better serve him.’ Stephanie Bailey-“Yes I go. I go to worship, and learn how 1 may better serve God.

Ray Butler, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Chruch, said that he believes church membership is increasing because that is what it is supposed to do. “A chruch should be a growing, thriving part of the community, any church whose membership is not growing, is not thriving a chruch has to grow in order to survive”, he said. Bishop R. K. Hash, pastor of Saint Peter’s Church of God Apostolic, said that in his opinion, church mem bership is increasing be cause of the amount of biblical teachings that is now available in church. “We’re doing more bible teaching, than hard preach ing, there used to be a time when all most preachers could talk about was fire and brimstone, now, prea chers are becoming familiar with bibical teaching”, he said. The increase in church membership is seemingly among the younger genera tion. One pastor reported that people under the age of 35 seem to be joining chruches in droves. “Its sort of traditional for young people to join the church at around age 15”, Butler commented. “It does seem as though there is a greater amount of young people joining chur ches these days.” Bishop Hash said that he reason that so many young people are joining the church is because most older people are traditional rather than biblical. “You find a lot of the older people believe in traditions rather than what the bible says, but if you tell a younger person to do some thing he wants to know why, thats where biblical teaching comes in.” Father Curry said that the fact that young people are more mobile attributes to the amount of youth joining chruches. “Most of the older adults have already found church homes and for one reason or another don’t want to join another chruch, a lot of young people today are wondering just where their religious home is.” Surprisingly, none of the pastors questioned gave scriptual reasons for the increase of youth in their church memberships. The Bible tells us in Acts 2:17 that it will be the young men that will be able to see the visions of God, while old men will be dreaming dreams. Whether it is a mere fulfillment of the scriptur es, or very practical reasons for the increase in chruch membership, the fact that church has always been a very vival part in the lives of blacks has not changed, and it appears as if it never will. any circumstance.s.
