A&P Minority
Program To
Move Forward
Montvale, N.J., - A&P "re
mains (irmly committed to its
policy of working closely with
minority organizations and
— programs." William H. Wat
' -- son. A&P‘s national director
of urban affairs, said Tues
day.
. .This reassurance was given
by Mr. Watson in commenting
on the announcement that
A&P was closing hundreds of
stores because they were
outmoded and the company no
longer could afford the finan
cial burden. A number of the
stores to be closed serve min
ority communities.
.."Our minority programs
_ continue to move forward," he
said. "These include our
commitment to purchase
goods and services from min
ority suppliers, to deposit
funds in -minority banks, to
take affirmative action in the
hiring and promoting or min
ority personnel and to utilize
minority-owned or operated
pressesnd broadcast media."
. .“The closing of these stores
should not be regarded as an
indication that A&P no longer
seeks to serve people living
In the cities," he said.
..“Contact has been made
with concerned community
organizations, and represent
atives of these groups have
been invited to visit the affect
ed areas with a view to deter
mining their interest in leas
ing and operating these
stores."

Renewal Credit'
For Teachers
Each Tuesday evening from
6:30 until 8:30 p.m. Central
Piedmont Community College
and the Charlotte-Mecklen
burg School System are offer
ing jointly a full course based
upon media (film) presenta
tion - “Teaching Children To
Read" - followed by small
group discussions.
..What is most unique about
this coarse is the ract that
each session is taught by use
of a series commercial films
(1) “Reading as Part of Life,”
(2) Building on What Children
Know.” (3) "What About
Reading Systems?" (4) Hu
man Behavior and Reading,”
(5) “Ways of Assessing Read
ing Progress.” (6) "Develop
ing Effective Reading Mater
ials,” (7) “The Role of Phon
ics." (8) Thinking, Writing

ing the Reading Environ
ment,” (16) “Helping the Re
luctant Reader,” (11) “Using
Human Resources,” and (12)
“Planning for Change.” .
..Anyone may take this
course, but since one unit of
teacher certificate renewal
credit is given by the Char
lotte-Mecklenburg School
System, it is assumed that
teachers, especially in the lo
cal system, would be most
interested.

I
McM—[an Says Military
Transfers Not Disruptive
Aboard USS Okinawa At Sea
- Some psychologists claim
periodic military transfers
disrupt family lire and are
harmful to military depen
dents’ education.
. .Well, don’t hand that line to
LeVerne McMillan because he
won’t buy It.
..A Navy electronics techni
cian third class aboard this
. amphibious assault ship, he’s
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elway
McMillan. Fayetteville. N.C.
..Petty Officer McMillan re
pairs radar and associated
electronics gear aboard the
Okinawa, a ship of the U. S.
Seventh Fleet deployed in the
Western Pacific.
..And not just anyone be
comes a Navy electronics
technician. They must meet
rigid educational, mental and
reliability standards.
..The son of a career Army
man, McMillan said Depart*
ment of Defense (DOD) over
seas school systems didn’t
stifle his academic progress.
. .’’The DOD schools impress
ed me very much. I feel I
learned Just as much by at
tending them as I did in most
other school systems. The
teachers seem more concern
ed for the needs of each
pupil,” he said.
..McMillan attended DOD
schools in France and Ger
many.
..“There's a tremendous dif
ference between looking at a
picture of historical signifi
cance in a textbook and seeing
that place for real.
..“In France, we saw all the
sights of Paris and went into
the countryside and viewed
the famous cathedrals and
castles." said the 22-year-old
sailor.
.. His father retired in North
Carolina and La Verne took his
final two years of high school
at Ben Haven High School in
'Olivia, near Fayetteville. He
graduated in 1970.
He made the Beta Club (the
National Honor Society coun
terpart) and was awarded a
National Merit Scholarship.
.. McMillan then attended the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill for two years,
until he was overwhelmed
with the urge for more travel.
..We lived in North Carolina
-four years; the longest we
lived anywhere. After travel
ing all my life. I couldn’t stay
in one place Chat long," ex
plained the articulate Mc
Millan.
..“I haven’t really found an
ideal place yet. I like Califor
nia with its different land
scapes - the desert, mount
ains, ocean - I never lived by
the ocean until I went to Cali
fornia. Yet, I like snow occas
ionally. like in North Carolina.
• • “I *1*® like the green forests
of North Carolina. I used to go
hiking and bunting back
there,” said McMillan. Laugh
ing he added. "In California,
they have those giant red
woods, and they call a group of
them 'forests.' As far as I’m
concerned, there are no for
ests like in North Carolina.”
..He enlisted in the Navy in
1*72 primarily because of Its
educational and travel oppor
tunities as well as the Job
security it offered.
..That’s exactly what Me
Millan got his first two years
in the Navy. He learned and
traveled.
. .After recruit training in Or
lando, Fla., he attended ele
ctronics schools in Great
Lakes. III. and Norfolk. Va.;
reported to the San Diego
based Okinawa and then at
tended two more Navy schools
tn S»n Francisco.
...Although the 18,000-ton
Okinawa has visited the
Philippines and Singapore,
McMillan hasn't seen as much
of the Far East as he would
iuc.
. ."I love mingling with people
of different cultures. Singa
pore is just about the only
place I’ve had a chance to
, really get out among the
people.” he said.
. .But the ship’s Western Pac
ific cruise is young and he
expects to travel more before
it's over.
..’’When we get back to San
Diego, I hope to travel more
around California and Mex
ico.” said McMillan.
..•’Hopefully,” he added,
"when my tour of duty is over
in three years. I’ll be ready to
settle down. I’m thinking
about going back to school, but
.."Hopefully,” he added,
"when my tour of duty is over
in three years. I’ll be ready to
settle down. I’m thinking a
bout going back to school, but
I have no definite plans."
■. With cautious optimism, the
soft-spoken sailor expects to
rind his niche in life. And it’ll
be because of his nomadic life,
not in spite of it.
