This period marks the 32nd Annual National Service Weeks that is being launched by a campaign that is being promoted by the 37-member companies of the National Insurance Association (NLA). The 37-member companies re present $9.8 billion in life insurance in force, and nearly $500 million in assets. The purpose of the cam paign Is to promote economic security and well being. Ac cording to James E. Owens, Committee Chairman for Na tional Service Weeks, “Insu rance is a valuable asset to all households, and at least once a year families should be assist ed in a review of the benefits insurance policies provide." NLA President Anderson M. Schweich has urged all agents' to make a 100 percent effort to comply with the committee’s request that this campaign be one of the greatest efforts undertaken. However, W.W. Twitty, District Manager for N.C. Mutual explains that N.C. Mutual has established for itself a collection quota of -- a, ^ 110 percent effort having all agents to reach the set goals proposed by the company. These goals, according to Twitty, include that all a gents: Visit all policy holders; render continuous service; or der every policy; review and recess; conserve all protec tion by reselling whatever that is possible; collecting indus tial premiums through De cember 31; revive all lapsed policies; collecting MDO Pre miums through February 1978 and collecting all ordinary dues for Industrial Business. Those agents achieving Na tional Service Weeks goals will receive certificates of merit. Owen, who is optimistic on the outcome of this campaign, feels that ‘‘Service should be our way of life—not only during National Service Weeks, but throughout this year.” Pre-Thanksgiving Extravaganza Set * For November 23 The Arbor Justicia Vitae Civic and Social Club is having a Pre-Thanksgiving Extrava ganza, Wednesday, Nov. 23, 1977.

Today, as President Carter attempts to sort out the “mess" in the welfare system, a new book suggests that the welfare explosion of the late 1960's and early 1970’s may have been created in part by one man - the late George Wiley. “A PASSION FOR EQUA LITY,'’ to be published on August 29 by W W. Norton & Company, Inc., by Washing ton authors Nick and Mary Lynn Kotz, examines the life and times of the controversial black leader who drowned in the Chesapeake Bay four years ago Why did the nation's welfare I rolls suddenly skyrocket, more than doubling in a few years9 Why did the effort at welfare reform fail during the Nixon Administration9 What are the necessary political and social ingredients for a suc cessful reform from the pre sent Congress and Carter Ad ministration? These crucial national issues and many o thers are probingly explored in this book. The authors weave together two stories, both crucial to an understanding of the problems of welfare, poverty, and race still confronting the country. The first story, seldom told are frankly explored, is that of the so-called “Talented Ten th," the minority of upper class blacks who achieved success in America in the years before the civil rights movement, and often had to purchase that success at the painfully heavy cost of sepa rating themselves from their black heritage - in the process becoming "white Negroes " Such was the case with George Wiley, who at an early age was emerging as one of the nation s leading research che mists The book relates the crisis faced by the Talented Tenth when the civil rights and black nationalist move ments arrived, challenging the formula for success and the life style of blacks such as Wiley. In trying to resolve that crisis, Wiley faced the taunts of fellow blacks who accused him of forsaking his race Wiley underwent a painful struggle to resolve that dilem ma, in the process discovering his own black roots and com mitting himself to the struggle for equality As Dr Kenneth Clark, the nation's most emi nent black psychologist, said of the book: 'The Kotzes have skillfully captured the human dilemma faced by George Wi ley and other blacks and des cribed by W E B DuBois 'One ever feels his twoness. an American, a Negro, two souls, two thoughts, two unreconcil ed strivings; two warring i deals in one black body.' Wiley was a complex man He devoted one portion of his life to a highly educated white woman, another portion to the poorest and most downtrod den of black women. Part of him was always the intellectu al, the scholar; yet another part was always the activist Describing the book's treat ment of Wiley's inner struggle and the larger struggle for social justice. Studs Terkel commented. It is a book of glory In its second theme, the book contributes new informa tion and insights into a trau matic period of American his tory. explaining the rise of the civil rights movement, and dissecting the events and rea sons for its eventual collapse The book presents one of the first treatments of the civil rights movement in the North Keep your out-of-town friends informed on what's happening in Charlotte by sending them a copy of the I < harlotte I’ost each week The cost is only $1(1 per year ; r FORMAL OPENING ; • :: queen size inc. :: ,!!
