Hooper Awarded Membership
Hooper Funeral Home in
Winston-Salem, N'.C. has been
accepted for membership in the
International Order of the
Golden Rule. IOGR is an asso
ciation of 1,400 independent
funeral homes located primarily
in the United States and Canada.
Prospective members are
subject to a highly selective
process which includes ran
domly CQntacting 200 commu
nity members and asking them
to respond to an Opinion Ques
tionnaire. The responses are
instrumental in selecting mem
bers. Once a funeral_ home
becomes a member, it must
demonstrate its dedication to
providing quality service to
meet the needs of the commu
nity in order to retain its mem
bership.
Hooper Funeral Home's
Vice President/Director Gregory
T. Burrell said, "This kind of
international recognition of the
work we are doing in Winston
Salem is a great reflection on
our professional staff's care and
concern for the community we
live in and love.
We insist that our employees
continuously improve their
knowledge of funeral service
through educational courses and
workshops. We believe that by
having the best-trained staff we
can give our families the very
best in service. We are grateful
that the community recognizes
this."

one of a very small number of
African- American Funeral
Homes in the United States who
are members of the International
Order of the Golden Rule.
There are only two IOGR
funeral homes in Winston
Salem. The other is Hayworth
Miller Funeral Home.

By RUDOLPH V. BOONE SR./
Section, and president of the
T^ad Bridge Unit
In the future bidding boxes
will be required in all champi
onship events at the national
tournaments for players in the
highest field (over 1*200 mas
ter points).

use of bidding boxes.

Advantages of bidding
boxes include die following: -
(1) reduces the noiae level
(2) reduces the nuances
and subtleties of inadvertent
unauthorized information or
"cheating,"
(3) reduces bidding out of
turn, leading out of tarn, mis
** hearing, misinterpretation,
(4) demands and receives
adherence to skip bids,
(5) allows total disclosure -
at your turn only and after
completion of auction - of con
ventional and non-alertable
bids,
(6) eliminates "reviews,"
and
(7) does not slow down die
