'Custodians V NUMMMMNINIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIMIIMIIIIMIMIIIM I Black custodians have not {spoken out publicly before for > fear of losing their jobs, he said. : The man said that he had spoken to Beaufort O. Bailey, the ? only black school board member, ' about his concerns. Bailey said he, in turn, has ^spoken to Superintendent Zane E. Eargle about the problem. ? In order to get blacks into i supervisory positions, Bailey i said, either a position will have to I be created or someone will have l to retire. ; "Once a vacancy is created, 1 I think the superintendent will try I to make amends," he said. I Bailey said that he would sup1 port creating another supervisory I position only if it is needed. Bailey said that he feels that at least one of the supervisors should be black. Z "I think it's a shame we don't 1 have any blacks in those posi\ tions," he said. - Clodfelter said that, to his 2 knowledge, neither of the present H supervisors plans to retire soon. He said that the custodial supervisor has been with the I system since 1968 and the assisI tant custodial supervisor since 1972. Another black head custodian in the system who did not want to ? be named said he is dissatisfied - not onlv with the custodians' ? situation, but also with the lack * of black carpenters and electri* cians in the school system. - Clodfelter said that there are ; 32 plumbing, heating and elec> trical personnel. They all are white. Of the 15 painters, Clodfelter said, two are black. Three of the I; 26 people who take care of school >: grounds are black, he said. \ Clodfelter said that the pool of ? black applicants is small. In hirV ing electricians, the system looks t for people with three or four r years of experience, he said.
