Inc., (NABBS) will hold its 37th con vention in Washington, D, C. at the Sheraton Washington Hotel, August 7 to 12. Formerly called national Barristers' Wives (NBW), the orga nization changed its name last year to reflect its increasing number of male members. Under the leadership of Isabelle Durrah, president, and Eve lyn Duckenfield and Carolyn Hyman, convention co-chairmen, the host Washington chapter work ing with the national executive board has completed plans for the meeting. Building on the organiza tion's national platform, "Child Advocacy - A Commitment to Jus tice" and its national theme, "Strengthening the Family - Strengthening the World", the group has developed a series of seminars on "The Family: A Holis tic Approach to Survival". This Holistic approach reflects an aspect which the national president, Harri et Pitcher of Baton Rouge, La., has emphasized during the first year of her presidency. Featured speakers and seminar leaders will include Doris Neely Johnson, psychologist and Univer sity of the District of Columbia pro fessor; Signithia Fordham, anthro pologist and author of numerous articles; Courtland Milloy, Wash ington Post reporter; Ernest P. White, host of the radio show "Crosstalk"; Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, author of The Black Male: the New Bald Eagle; Vonetta Pettigrew, national spokesperson for the "Say No to Drugs" program; and Tal- madge Roberts, a financial planner. Gloria Gary of Stuat, Florida, and NABBS Regional Director, South, will discuss financial planning from the perspective of the young family. One of the organization's national projects, the digging of African water wells will be high lighted when NABBS members are entertained at High Tea at Africare House. Africare is the non-profit organization through which NABBS water well contributions are channeled. The seventh annual Minnie Spaulding Youth Achievers Break fast will be held on Friday morning, August 12. It features outstanding performances in the areas of music, speech, drama, art, and design by the young people who accompany their parents to the convention of NABBS and the National Bar Asso ciation which convenes at the same time. Some activities will be held in conjunction with the National Bar Association. Daily cultural and edu cational activities are planned for the children and teen agers who accompany their parents. NCNW initiates project aimed at 'Developing New Attitudes' The National Council of Negro Women. Inc. initiated a project called. "Developing New Attitudes" IN 1987. With the efforts of Martha L. Joyce. In February of 1988 she, along with Phyllis Speas, Mary Green and Audrey Flippen, met with representatives from the 2. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Inc. to discuss what they felt the project could accomplish. The purpose (s) of the project is to involve parents; to have pro ductive children, you must involve the parents. After all is said and done, the parent (s) are the child's first teacher, role model, the person that discipline and also provide love and care. "Developing New Attitudes” will try to re-emphasize the impor tant role that parents possess. It is vital to the whole make-up of the child going into the changing soci ety as an adult to be properly pre pared, To be able to interact with other people. To change the attitude that certain children possess what is being called as "unacceptable behavior" by their peers at school, home and community. The project is being funded in part by a $5,000- grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds foundation, Inc. The weekly two-hour sessions will focus on the importance of the parent/family, informal discussions on topics such as health, love, com munication, being a friend, giving support and respect, self-esteem and goal getting among other topics that could be a factor in the total development of the child into becoming a responsible and produc tive adult in his/her community. The Surry Section of NCNW also received a grant from the same foundation to conduct a one-day seminar addressing the problem of adolescent pregnancy in 1986. The National Council of Negro Women, Inc. is an cwganization that is concerned women and her fami- ly—the founder, the late Mary McLeod Bethune, herself, a child of slave parents, believed in "Leaving No One Behind." Membership is open to women from all walks of life, background, and religion regardless of color, ori gin or creed. For further information about the project, contact Martha L.

"This is one way the community can use its own resources to stimulate economic development," Herman Turner of Turner Development Services said. "This is an indirect way for the city to fund the CDC." The city will also be asked to extend 14th Street to New Walker- town Road with three lanes to give shoppers and residents of the pro posed development a direct route to downtown Winston-Salem, Turner said. "We certainly hope the exten sion of 14th Street will be bumped up the city's priority list," Turner said. The 14th Street extension is included in the city's long range thoroughfare plan and the Planning Department’s East Winston Area Plan, Turner said. But city transportation officials have nevertheless determined that if the city decides not to complete the 14th Street extension, the existing roads would still be able to handle the traffic generated by the develop ment, Turner said. The city Board of Aldermen would also have to rezone the land for the development as the area is now primarily residential. The developers will ask for a special-use business zoning permit. Turner said. The proposed development includes three phases, with construc tion of the shopping center to come first. "We see an upscale, festive, retail marketplace center that will not only provide convenient shop ping, but will also have on-site secu rity, as well as a very hefty budget for a common area, maintenance and litter control," Turner said. Turner's goal is to meet resi dents' complete shopping needs with one central location, including a grocery store with a deli, beauty salons, a drug store, retail clothing stores, a family-style restaurant, and a bank. Through the CDC, Turner also hopes to offer employment opportunities and job training to minority-owned businesses that are financially able to locate in the shopping center. A marketing study was com pleted by Horn and Stronach, Mar keting, Advertising, Public Rela tions of Winston-Salem which con cluded that the consumer demand in East Winston would sustain the shopping center, Turner said. About 12 to 15 single-family, detached homes will constitute the second phase of the developmept and will be located on about five acres behind the proposed shopping center. The homes will stand behind the shopping center off the proposed 14th Street extension, but a stand of mature trees will provide a buffer. Turner said. That land is now owned by a private individual, he said. A possible third phase includes a small office complex to the east of the shopping center. Turner said he hopes to attract fnedical profession als and small businesses to the development Another important part of the project is the development of a nature trail along Bushy Fork Creek to the immediate west of the shop ping center, Turner said.
