The Atkins High School Class of 1953 Atkins reunion committee holds meeting By JUANITA B. PENN Special to the Chronide The planning committee of the Atkins High Class of '53 met for a dinner/business meeting on Sunday evening, August 30 at Les Arbres Club on New Walkertown Road. The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate every aspect of the reunion held June 26-28 at the Holiday Inn North. Among the first arrivals were Joy Adams and Annie Belton. They reflected on the excitement they felt as they waited at the registration desk with Willie Mae Grasty, Bar bara Williams, and Millie David son. They remembered meeting Carolyn Thompson who had trav eled with her husband anththeir classmate Danny Thompson from Denver, Colo. Soon these two were joined by Millie Davidson who reminisced the activities in the hos pitality room where pictures and a video from 1989 were shared. She recalled the delight of Shirley Willis and Doris Gray as they watched the activities of the night David Dillard, class treasurer, came in with 'money on his lips' only to be hushed by those who were talking about the .Saturday morning brunch and the pool party that afternoon... the party was a real Splash!! Ben Griffin and Sarah Sims Smith took top honors in the swim suit competition. Doris Jack son and Marvin Hairston were judged best swimmers. Others in and just plain fun. As the 4 p.m. dinner hour drew near, Bobby Gwyn came in with the class picture and snapshots were taken during the dinner/program on Saturday night June 27th. Some pic tures showed our talented class mate, Vardell Solomon, who pro vided instrumental and vocal music during the dinner. Visiting teacher Hartsfield (with wife Doris) watched in amazement as this one-man band captured his audience. It was almost dinner time when James Mack entered quietly (usual manner for him), but Zatie Coker and Fred Chavis were having a con test to see who could out talk the other. It ended up in a tie when Fred before the meal. He waited-for Betty Jones, Thelma Pigford and Rosa Wilson whom he saw approaching. A delicious meal of baked chicken, country style steak, ham, green beans, steamed cabbage; rice, gravy, potato salad, tomatoes, mac aroni, cornbread, rolls, cake, peach pie, coffee and tea was served. The conversations are many now as those near each other talked. After dinner the business meet ing was held during which time classmates brain-stormed for reunion 1995. It was decided that Winston Salem would be the site of the next one. And so we closed the books for the reunion until we meet "Together A. Philip Randolph Inst. offers voter registration By LINDA SUTTON Special to the Cbronide In 1965, 1,000 black school children were arrested for attempt ing to march in front of an Alabama county courthouse. Within this same year, 25,000 people joined the Selma-to-Montgomery Freedom March, and the Voting Rights Act removed barriers that prevented blacks from voting. The A. Philip Randolph Insti tute (APRI) was founded in 1965. It was established to continue the struggle for social, political and ; economic justice for all working ; Americans. A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, were the co-founders and their fight for workers' rights were inseparable. Randolph (1889-1979) was one of the greatest black labor leaders in American history and the father of the modern American Civil Rights Movement. Rustin (1912-1987) a leading ? civil rights activist and strategist, was the chief organizer of the his toric 1963 March on Washington for jobs and freedom. He was also Randolph's greatest protege. There are more than 150 chap * ters of APRI in 36 states where members are involved in the politi cal community arena, education, lobbying, legislative action and labor support activities.

This is because of all the and doors on a windy day. If the candle flickers then you have air infiltration. As cold weather approaches, ; HOME ECONOMICS ? * By Joanne j. falls - Home Economic Extension Agent air that leaks into and out of a typi cal house. While it is critical for health and safety reasons that some ~ fresh air comes into a house, most - houses leak far more air than is needed. In fact, the typical house leaks enough conditioned air every t day to fill up a Goodyear blimp! Some of the places where infil ? tration can occur include around the . sole plates on exterior walls (the bottom horizontal boards in your ; : walls), around wiring outlets, around plumbing outlets ? anyplace where two different construction ? materials come together in your home. This includes places outside : the house, such as where the siding meets the trim, where water lines v pass through an exterior wall or where siding meets a masonry chimney. v j To detect air leakage light a > candle and hold it near windows 1 none of us would be comfortable living with a nine inch square hole in our exterior wall. Yet a one fourth inch gap between the bottom of the outside door and threshold is equal to such a hole. If a gap exist s, installing a door sweep, close the door on a dollar bill. If you feel resistance when pulling the bill out, your door sweep is good. If there isn't any resistance or there is no door sweep present one should be installed. To prevent air infiltration, caulking can help to seal up holes. In the attic, seal all penetrations that go through the sheetrock, too. These will mostly be lighting fix tures. Sometimes, these can be sealed somewhat from the finished side of the wall, but it is much bet ter to do it from the attic. recessed lighting fixtures can be air sealed to a large degree ? just caulk every surface where the fix ture meets the sheetrock, and where the wire goes into the fixture. Some of these fixtures have some ventila tion holes. These should not be filled. Remember, there will be some holes in the house, no matter what you do. Seal all visible penetrations from the crawl space. Most of these probably will be plumbing. Espe cially seal the tub! If no steps were taken to seal the shim space around doors and windows (fiberglass insulation stuffed into these spaces is not an effective air barrier), then a bead of caulk should be laid where the frame meets the sheetrock. This can be done after painting, with a clear caulk, or before painting with a col ored paintable caulk. Silas latex or acrylic with silicone caulk should be used. Finally, if no steps were taken to seal the sole plate, two steps can be taken after the house is finished. First, seal where the rim joist meets the underside of the floor system, from underneath. This prevents air from the crawl space from entering the wall cavity. Second, seal the reveal at the bottom of the sheetrock. If the base board cannot be removed to get at the reveal, caulk it with the sap**, type of caulk used above.
