Woodson propo

By ROBIN BARKSDALE
Chfontcte Staff Writer ?
A national authority on housing addressed
members of the local community recently
and said Winston-Salem is ripe for an innovative
new housing program.
Robert L. Woodson, president of the
National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise,
outlined the program at a seminar
held Friday, Oct. 26, at the Winston Lake
Family YMCA. Woodson's program advocates
policies of more self-help and less
government and he said the proposal will
allow lower-income black residents to gain
more control over their housing environment.

"Yet, even in the face of that expenditure
we're told that one-third of the black community
is now in an underclass. So obviously,
just spending more, spending less,
is not the answer. We've got to learn to
spend more wisely."
Woodson said one solution to the housing
crisis for poor blacks is to learn to
"help ourselves." He says his organization
has toured the country and identified successful
programs that meet the needs of
low-income residents.

By ROBIN ADAMS
Chronicle Assistant Editor
Among the best-kept secrets in town is that an
election will be held next Tuesday.
After the considerable fallout from the Sept. 24
primaries cleared, the weeks since have been quiet.
But candidates in each contested ward insist that
they've been campaigning hard nonetheless.
m "I'm working like mad," said East Ward AlderW
man Virginia K. Newell. "We are doing quite a bit
of calling and knocking on doors. I'm not going to

Mrs. Newell, a two-term Democratic incumbent,
faces political newcomer Richard L. Rowell, a
Republican, on Nov. 5. Neither candidate encountered
primary opposition. In fact, Mrs. Newell
was out of town during the primary.
Mrs. Newell hasn't had a Republican opponent
since she was elected in 1977. She beat thenAlderman
C.C. Ross in 1977 during the primary
and William A. Bryant in 1981 *s municipal
primary. Political observers say Mrs. Newell, chairman
of the board's Finance Committee, is the one
alderman who can't be beat.

The NAACP will call for a nationwide boycott of
companies that do business in South Africa early
next year, said an organization official during the
NAACP State Convention's Life Membership Luncheon
Saturday.
The convention was held Oct. 24-27 in the Benton
Convention Center.
"As of yet, we haven't selected which companies
we will boycott," said Joseph Madison, director of
the NAACP Voter Education Department in
Detroit. "We also haven't decided the formula we
al section in- will use to determine which companies to boycott,
but we will be targeting companies that have not
signed the Sullivan Principles or Fair Share

insists that he has been out among the people and
that he has the name recognition necessary to
unseat Mrs. Newell.
"If you are running against an incumbent and
making a lot of noise, there will be fighting back
and forth," said Rowell. "I don't see any reason to
tear down a person to go after their seat. I believe in
running this campaign like a gentleman."

Madison said he expects approximately three to
12 companies to be boycotted. The only firm
Madison specifically named was baby-food
manufacturer Gerber Foods.
In addition to organizing boycotts, the NAACP
will soon develop a political action leadership conference
and educate the world about the "high price
of apartheid in South Africa," Madison said.
"We as black Americans know more about
what's happening in South Africa than the white
South Africans do," he said.
The leadership conference, said Madison, will
help train leaders for tomorrow.
"We will be training our own black leaders,"
