Some Solicitors Are Not Legitimate rtALtiuH-- It s that time ol year again when emotions are running high, and organiza tions throughout the United States are playing on these emotions to gain monetary support for so-called charita ble purposes. Beware! Some of these soli citing organizations are not legitimate, and they are not licensed to solicit in North Carolina. Miss Martha A. Cook Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Cook of 324 President Street in Charleston, S.C. announce the engagement of their Miss Martha Anne to Second Lt. Aaron L. Richardson Jr. of the United States Army.

Animal Shelter Has Bumper Crop Of Healthy Puppies You maybe can’t buy love, but you can surely come close to it at the County Animal Shelter. You can buy puppies. There’s a bumper crop of. warm, cuddly, healthy pup-, pies at the Shelter this Christ mas season, according to Har ry J. Overcash, Shelter Super intendent. The puppies sell for $4 and dogs over four months old sell for $5. Kittens-and there are plenty of those, too-are free. The Shelter is located at 102 Lancaster Street. Hours Mon day through Friday are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. _ Ed Edgerton, head of the Solicitation Licensing Branch of the North Carolina Depart ment of Human Resources, estimates that close to one third of the giving occurs during the last two months of the year. "This would be due to more appeals being made for support and our response to the needs of others is greater during the holiday season. Lastly, there are those who wish to take advantage of the close of the tax year with additional deductions,” stated Edgerton. Before making a donation to a so-called charitable organi zation, find out where the sponsoring organization is lo cated and the street address, what specific charitable group the money is going to, how much the charitable group will be receiving and where the salesman is from. Do not be fooled by T-shirts and emblems or an ID card with the salesman's name printed in magic marker. • In order to gain a tax deduction for your gift, the organization must be ruled tax exempt by the Internal Reve nue Service. Gifts to indivi duals do not qualify as a tax deduction. If you suspect that a solici tation is not legitimate, con tact your local Better Busi ness Bureau or the Solicitation Licensing Branch, P.O. Box 12200, Raleigh, North Carolina 27605, telephone 919-829-4510.

This finding is revealed in a new book by Dr Robert John son. assistant professor of criminal justice at the Univer sity of North Carolina at Char lotte. In the studies Dr. Johnson made for his book, "Culture and Crisis in Confinement," he found that ghetto blacks foad a better survival rate in prison than Latin and semi middle-class whites. The ghetto blacks found in prison some of the same cha racteristics of their streets: it was dangerous, unpredic table. male centered, and to survive one must be alert, somewhat suspicious and have the support of his peers The crisis factor for Latin inmates was being separated from their family oriented homes. This separation re sulted in breakdowns. Dr. Johnson said that the Latins had a strained relation ship with guards and prison doctors because essentially they were trying to force those people into parental roles of support and caring. This he found was self defeating, be cause the guards and doctors wouldn't play the roles. "For whites who feel that they should make concrete achievements in life, going to prison is not a middle class thing to do,” Dr. Johnson said. "It represents failure." "Whites can’t say the sys tem is unfair." They blame themselves and say, “I blew it." This sometimes leads to emotional breakdowns. Dr. Johnson said. To gather material for his book. Dr. Johnson, inter viewed 325 inmates who had experienced psychological -breakdowns in the New York State prison system.’ Tftese" were in-depth psychological interviews exploring the per sonai crisis from the stand point of the individual. Or. Johnson said that urbar black inmates made up 6< percent of the prison popula tion but only 20 percent of the crisis population Latin in mates were over representec in the crisis group. They madt up. only 13 percent of the prison population but 26 per cent of the crisis population Vhites made up 27 percent of the prison population and close to 50 percent of the crisis group Dr Johnson holds the B A in psychology from Fairfield University and the M A and Ph D degrees from the State University of New York at Albany He is in his second \ear at UNCC One of the courses he teaches is called "survival in prison “ THIS IS YOUR PAPER USE IT * LOAN ASSUMPTIONS NO CREDIT CHECK PRACTICALLY NEW HOMES NORTH CHARLOTTE LOCATIONS $1,000°° movein' HOME NOTES LESS THAN « $16000 ™ READY TO MOVE IN I Mi Baths, Spacious Backyard 3 Bedrooms, Some Appliances Electric Heat On Busline NEAR DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTE MOTION INC CALL Bob Acree 332-1078 PASTOR E.C.
