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

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.
Under the banner of "A
Feast at Fellowship" a 12
noon out-door worship was led
by the pastor, Dr. Thos. A.
Jenkins. The organ prelude
and the offertory were by
cassette tapes produced by
Mrs. Gwendolyn Jenkins
Bozeman, of Dayton Ohio.
i'"”
Approximately 125 mem
bers and friends who had
arrival by bus and private
cars participated in the
worship. Afterwards baskets
filled with food of every
variety were spread with no
evidence of ~ inflation.
Following the eats children,
youth and adults engaged in
games, play and relaxation,
-which—marie the Hay rpnre
than a picnic or an outing, but
a "Feast of Fellowship” that
was superb.
Mrs. Lucile Maxwell and
Mr. Fred Tatum headed the
Steering Committee.
