"But I've got some people in Winston-Salem that I'm planning to contact about having one," she said. "But right now we're centering around Fayetteviile." Mock funerals are just one way ODeration Push is attacking Revlon for its involvement in South Africa and for comments made by a Revlon executive, Irving Bottner. PUSH is also spearheading a boycott of Revlon products. The boycott, Mrs. Magness said, is still continuing despite an apology by the executive and the firm's announcmeQt last week that it is pulling out of South , A A Africa.

This lack of progress in South Africa has increased the pressure on Americail firms doing business there to consider divestment." The statement also says that Revlnn nlans tn nrnvidc inh nn. portunities for blacks and other minorities within the company and the community in which the company operates. A local owner of a black business that distributes Revlon products said that although Revlon has agreed to divest from South Africa and has issued an apology for statements made by ? one of its executives, blacks' should still hold the company accountable. Minnie Ervin, owner of Ervin's Beauty Services at 3217 N. Patterson Ave., said that blacks should make the company follow up on some of the tHIh'gs it promised in the statement.

I've worked with some employees of Revion a lot. All 1 do is ask for what I want, and I usually get it." In the company's statement, the board also apologizes for comments made by Irving Bottner in the Oct. 13 issue of Newsweek magazine. In the article Bottner implied that black hair-care products were inferior to white products and that in a couple of ' years black-owned hair-care businesses would disappear and be bought by white companies.

The statement issued last week by Revlon is responsive to issues raised at that meeting, Fischer said. But getting out of South Africa is something on which Revlon needed little prodding, he said. *'Revlon has been working to get out of South Africa since spring of 1986,*' Fischer said. But the statement has done little to change PUSH'S stance about Revlon. "We are still boycotting Revlon and planning to have funerals," said Betty Magness, director of communications for the Chicago-based PUSH. ? "Revlon is essentially not out . of South Africa," she said. 4They have stated to the media that they have the intent to do so. Thev have not contacted PUSH at all." The boycott has gained some support in Winston-Salem, with several black beauticians saying that they will support it. * Edith .Williams, owner* of V SUN. 1-6 P.IW s fflFISHEk-jfl DIO COM- ^ NKNT "HW tO - SYSTEM ^ Built-in . m equalizer 449 * Built-in AM/FM m stereo tune^^^^^^^^^^^ i turn13D,. /111 \Vv\V \v^ g?
