Let them know that you expect these things for your patronage, and most will come around. The alternative of continuing I- to shun brothers and support . others who do not support you is not acceptable. There are several other things you can do to buy your freedom. Share this article with your family, friends and neighbors. Ask .L ' -* * I, uicin 10 uikc ine pledge to spend their Christmas dollars where they will create a job in the community. Ask your minister and deacon board which financial institutions your church supports with its deposits. Get fellow church members to take the pledge. Come to think of it, the church can be a critical link in buying our freedom. It is and has been a great store of our community's wealth. Its combined assets can move mountains. For example, Mechanics and Farmers Bank in Winston-Salem * - nas been plagued over the last several years with personnel turnover, poor management decisions, poor customer relations,. marginal service to commercial accounts, hemorrhaging black professional accounts (including my own), no automatic teller service, a timid board of directors and infinitesimal growth. This is a chicken-and-egg problem: You have to have _ depositors to support services and you have to have services to - attract and keep depositors. If 50 of the largest churches moved half of their banking business to this bank, first, many if not all of the problems would dc solved, and second, if it didn't come to pass, these churches could always move their business elsewhere. .vThi* Christmas, you can start bujringyout freedom by spending ' fvif Calendar MrnmmmrnmmimmmwmimmiwmMmmm** THURSDAY The board of management and ly YMCA will hold its annual m p.m. at the Winston Lake YMC keynote speaker will be U.S. Rep. i * ?* uh uw. i j. i krcis arc 913 per pe The Friendship Force of Wins Exchange to Arnhem, Holland January.
