ROCK SHOW....Graham Central Station put on what has been considered by some people as the best soul rock performance that’s been in this area lately. Included in their show was a tamborine chorus to the tune “Can You Handle That", an audience participation section, and dy-no-mite playing of most of their tunes Yvette Audrey, Derrick Henry, Doris Stack ston and Frank Jones really enjoyed the show. Betty Davis was also on the bill that was m.c.ed by the very colorful David Wilson. Defeated ('Aitulidale Walton Is Disappointed But Not Disillusioned By Sidney Moore Jr Post Staff Writer In an exclusive statement recently made to The Char lotte Post, defeated City Council candidate Robert 'Bob” Walton said, "It’s only human to be disappointed but I'm not disillusioned.” Walton expressed his deep appreciation for all the people who volunteered to work with his campaign. He indicated that he will try to maintain contact with many of these workers. He hopes they will help solve some of the pro blems that prevented him from being elected in his first try at running for public ■—office. Of these problems, Walton said the black community needs further education and preparation to reach the point where it can take better advantage of ‘‘the political opportunities that are ocas Robert ' Bob" Walton Wachovia Bank Manager sionally available to it.” Walton explained that if more black people had voted, two black candidates could have been elected to city council this year. Incumbent Harvey Gantt, who was first appointed to city council, won his bid for election to the council One way to get more people to vote, Walton indicated, is to get more black people regist ered. “We are going to be doing what we can with other black groups,” said Walton. “We are going to try to find out what it takes to get black people involved in politics.” The defeated candiate did not blame all of his problems on the community, however. He said, “Perhaps I did not spend enough time in the black community." Walton said he was especial ly disappointed that black voters in middle class communities did not turnout in as great of numbers as he had anticipated. They also voted for one candidate — Gantt - seemingly forgetting that Walton was also a black candidate.____ With these kinds of analyses it would seem that Walton intends to run again for politi cal office. He said, “I certainly do feel that I will offer myself again for public office. I don't know what or when.” His election to office is not the main thing people should look at, Walton insisted. He said blacks, while not a major ity of the citizens of Charlotte, are a large enough minority to determine the outcome of many elections. He said the community should be more aware of trie power it can 1 witld in this community—and use it to the best advantage possible. Walton, a bank employee and pastor of St. Paul United Presbyterian Church, said his motives are not selfish. He said he wants to render ser vice to the community. Las Amigas Inc.
