Unique Group Fuerstman’s Racquet Busters L1U115 uciuic u uu^c me Millan ever considered equalizing the school system in Charlotte, the freedom Dilworth Tennis Association was a completely intergrated active organization. As soon as Black Charlotte started to show up in the public parks especially if they had a tennis racket in their hands they were instantly welcomed into a group of tennis players that has been playing at the courts during the summer time and at Lata (Dilworth School) tennis courts during the fall and winter season. The group started in a rather informal way more than 25 years ago, when a group of about six en thusiastics got together and decided to share the cost of the tennis balls for each of the Saturday and Sunday morning sessions. Each participant would put in 50 c and this would cover the balls and any incidental equipment that the group might use such as mops, to dry off courts after rain, chock liners, a net repair, etc. The group has no formal meetings, but when ever one of its players leave the city there is always a party for him or her and a trophy is given to them to remind them of their Charlotte friends. Through the years the group has grown from the original six to over 150 players who come on a more or less regular basis.Hilbert Fuer stman the area representative for a National Watch Co., has been in charge since its in ception his idea is not only to allow anyone who wants to play regardless of age, color, or sex, and also regardless of tennis ability Fuerstman says that the worst prejudice in tennis is not social but based -on qnalitv_nf play A gnftd player doesn’t like to play with a poor one but in this group which only plays doubles, rf-good player gets a poor one as a partner and will oppose a similar grouping across the net. When Fuerstman is out of the city on weekends, Louis | Lineburger and Bill Roberts of Humble Oil take charge and follow the same principles that Fuerstman began. Bill McCombs, Assistant Supervisor at the University Park Station has been a member of the group for the last few years, and claims that he has never seen another organization like it anywhere. Tom Brown, of Armour and Co., has been playing with the * group five or six years, Alex Thompson of the Board of Education Maintenance,. has been a constant participant. Dorothy Clark, who is the' * assistant manager of Toy Department at K-Mart on Independence Bhrd., is also a 1 regular player. The group is a cross section' of Charlotte resident and comprises doctors and lawyers, salesmen, teachers, and almost every occupation that is listed In the yellow pages. The main rule is that everyone gets to play as much as anyone else as long as they chip in on the expenses of the tennis balls. -When there is a large crowd,_ such as on Labor Day, the players finishing one set come off the courts so that those who are waiting can take their places Statesville Avenue Church Has Unusual Outdoor Services The Statesville Avenue United Presbyterian Church celebrated a “Feast of Fellowship” in Newton N.C. on last Sunday on the spacious and beautiful lawn park area, through the courtesy of Mrs. and Mrs. Coulter, parents of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tatum.
