CHESS FUN.The weekly chess games are
still alive and becoming more competitive. Last
week the group met at Preston Pendergrass’
home on Cinderella Road, for a few hours of
across the board dueling, while learning a few
more of the intracacies of this complex but
stimulating game. Some of the combatants for
the evening were Lloyd Sigler, Jerry Johnson,
Joe Allison, Dwight Sullivan, Karen Gibbs, and
Bill Tillman.

games at an all girls
nudist colony and the
Super Bowl. The latter
was the case last Sun
day. It was the big foot
ball day around the
country, and this appro
priately titled event was
responsible for a lot of
parties in the area. One
such occurence took
place at the Midway
Lounge on Statesville
.Avenue. There was

the confines of Mike’s Place seeking a kind of
warm comradery with their associates and
friends, exchanging keen-witted remarks while
cheering for their favorite team to bring the
bacon home.
There was plenty of food to handle the hungry
men, consisting of chicken, deviled eggs, and a
wide assortment of sandwiches. There was even
an inexhaustible supply of everybody’s favorite
beverage. Participating in this party were:
Jimmy Strickland, Chuck Collins, Raymond Lee,
Judge Harrison, Tee, Frank Hayes, Jerdi

CLUB HOUSE CAPERS.Across town
at the Woodlawn Hollow Apartment’s clubhouse
Earl Brown fittingly entertained a group of
dudes who were interested in viewing this famed
football classic with friends too. Using two color
T.V. sets, these guys also got off into the once a
year bowl intensity. With their superb knowledge
of the game they helped Chuck Knoll and Don
Shula coach, plus giving their expert opinions on
close calls made by the officials. Here again we
find men who ate like kings and drank from the
silver chalice as they gleefully cheered and
sorrowfully moaned for their favorite gladiators.
Some of the persons attending this party were:
Charles Hodges, Steve Hayes, Charles Foster,
Lewis Dowdy, Murdies Arnold, Curt Ardrey,
Dave Blevins, Bruce Dukes, William Hill, Vin

Fred Warren, and Jimmy Bryant.
JAZZ CONCERT.Slowly, ever so slowly,
like a turtle crossing 1-77, jazz is becoming a part
of the Charlotte scene. Thanks to the concern of a
few disc jockeys and concerts like the “Just
Jazz” concert sponsored by BCL Productions
and superbly presented at Dana Auditorium
Sunday night.
The auditorium on the campus of Queens
College came alive as George Shaw and Moose
Magic, The Bill Hanna Quartet, and The Sunday
night Jazz Band, played contemporary original,
bop, standard, blues, avant-garde, jazz-rock
and swing tunes to make a full evening of solid
jazz.
Some of the main characters in this Sunday
night jam session were George Shaw, Bill
Hanna, Chip Dabney, Walter Holland, Simon
Broome, Tony Cooper, Donald “Cannonball"
McClure, Leroy Paige, Jerry McJunket and
Juici carter an veterans of the local music
appearance. Among the hundred’s of people in

Gives Sacrificial Service
Bishop W. A. Walls Drives 2,800
Miles To Serve Small Congregation
By Sidney Moore Jr,
Post Staff Writer
A 2,800 round trip every two
weeks is not a big enough
obstacle to keep Bishop W. A.
Walls from serving his Lord.
The 69-year-old bishop lives
in Amityville, N. Y. He is
associated with the First
Church of God and was recent
ly named pastor of a small
congregation in Marshville, N.
C. Although his salary for
ministering to the church does
not always cover the costs of
his travel. Bishop Walls said
he is pleased to be able to give
this sacrificial service.
Bishop Walls credits the
power of his faith as the moti
vating force that keeps him
going. He said he does not
pray to the Lord to cut the
number of miles he has to
travel, but to give him the
strength to make the journey.
A former Charlotte native,
Walls said he and his wife plan
to move back to Charlotte
after she retires from her
health related job. They went
to New York in 1963.
Before leaving Charlotte,
the bishop was in the fuel oil
business. He has many fond
memories of his trials trying
to build his business. He re
calls one instance when he
was asked to help a white
family by giving them oil until
the husband returned from a
trip. The bishop did so and was
pleased that this act broke
down attitudes the family held
about blacks.
rk Illllliaici 1UI UIC labl ZU v.v*
years at least,” Bishop Walls igij
was born on "Greasy Corner” ggg
here in Charlotte. He said the iggg
site, Johnson at Eleventh i$g
Streets, was named this way
becaidkstandard Oil Com
pany nR once occupied it.
When the company moved,
they left a greasy spot. He said ggi
his father worked for the oil $gg
company. ggg:
While in attendance for the
funeral of Dr. Martin Luther iggg
King Jr., Bishop Walls met ggij
now Vice President Nelson iggg
Kockerfellow whom he was
tempted to tell about the
friendship his father had with Sx
Walls’ father Walls said gig
attending the funeral was one igij:
of the greatest experiences of
his life. igij:
Walls said “Greasy Corner" $£$•
was a rough neighborhood and :§:•
growing up there influenced gg
him to be interested in the $3
unchristian side of life. He Si
said experience taught him gig
better and he is now pleased to x$
be in service of the church. gig
The bishop said his favorite
scripture is John 17:11 be- gig
cause it refers to the duty of i:S
r ■;%
^nrisuans to maintain a
church.
His church has services on
the second and fourth Sundays
of the month in Marshville. He
said his old friends from
Charlotte and others are wel
comed to join his congregation
for service.
He said those wishing to
make donations to help him
serve his church and continue
to make his trips from New
York may write him at 14
Brefni Street, Amityville, N.
Y. 11701. -
While in Charlotte, Bishop
Walls stays with his mother
in-law Mrs. Mattie Phifer of
2620 Catalina Avenue.

changes in its free meal, re
duced meal and free milk

Children qualify for the pro

Families with unusual ex
penses due to medical costs,
shelter costs and special
education expenses because of
mental or physical conditions
may also qualify for the food
program. Foster children are
also eligible in certain cases.
Application forms are
available at the principal's
office in each school. Infor
mation provided on applica
tions will be kept confidential
and will be used only for
purposes of determining elig

A parent that is dissatisfied
with a ruling may wish to dis
cuss it informally with the
principal. Formal appeals are
made to school committees.
Copies of the new policy are
availabe from the Food Ser
vice Office, Education Center,
701 East Second Street.
