V OU BE THE JUDGE ...To get away from the
hum drum of the daily routine is generally
spoken of as a blessing. It affords one the
opportunity to see how people live in other places
and usually it gives a refreshing attitude to the
hum drum of one’s home living.

QUESTION: My lipstick won’t 7
istay on smooth and changes' '
color on my Lips. Why? i >
ANSWER: On most Black '
ladies the top and bottom lips' 1
are two different shades. The' i
least thinning on the lips willi ,
show different. The new
"Pucker Paint” lipstick pen- 1
cite by The House of Charles1 1
are designed to stop this prob- i
lem and they give more con- ,
trol in putting them on. They,
also don’t break because they
are in a pencil and not a tube. '
Also eye shadow pencils are '
available for the same reason,

Churches Prep For Fuel Emergencies
Black Christian activists
have urged local churches to
establish emergency fuel
funds to aid low-income
families and old people on
fixed incomes this winter.
The Black Theology Pro
ject. a national network of
Christian ministers and lay
leaders, forecasts a bleak
winter with rising fuel costs
and sporadic shortages leav
ing many families literally in
the cold.
“Emergency fuel funds,
financed and directed by
local churches, can help
needy families overlooked by
the government
beauracracy. Local pastors
know what families are
destitute and can identify
emergency cases more
quickly than welfare depart
menu or white-dominated
charities," says the
Reverend Muhammad
Isaiah Kenyatta, the Pro
ject's national director.
The Black Theology Pro
ject (BTPI places ultimate
responsibility on the federal
government to guarantee
heating fuel for the poor, but
also stresses the role of shar
ing and self-help within local
communities. Traditionally,
Black churches provided
emergency assistance to
destitute families long before
eublic welfare existed in the
Inited States.
“Just as we take up love
offerings for our pastors and
mission offerings for
overseas evangelism, we
can take up fuel offerings for
our suffering neighbors.
Otherwise, some of our
children will freeze to death
for Uncle Sam this winter,"
warns Rev. Kenyatta, a
Baptist minister and
sociologist.
Stressing a two-pronged
strategy, BTP also ad
vocates federal programs
such as the issuance of “fuel
stamps” modeled on the food
stamp program. Indeed, the
Project argues that church
based self-help efforts will
strengthen political leverage
for fuel stamp legislation.
' “Our religious leaders,
our politicians, and civil
rights organisations should
not have to crawl to
Washington like beggars,"
asserts a recent BTP state
ment. “We can command
more respect and make more
effective demands on
government with a track
record of self-reliance and
practical Christian charity."
“Moreover,” the state
ment continues, “the masses
of Blacks, especially the
poor, need a church that
practices what it preaches.
When thermometers drop
and fuel costs rise, the poor
need a share, not just
prayer.” "

participants. However, when one looks beyond
the glitter of expectations and the hopes of a
fruitful time all is not peaches and cream. This
fact was manifested in several ways.
(1) Some people became sick from eating the
food and-or drinking the water.
(2) Some were disillusioned with the service.
(3) The most devastating and probably the
most consequential was the losses felt by the
football team. The game for one and the loss of
some key players is another.
The loss of the key players could mean that the
Bulls will lose their remaining contests and
possibly end up in the cellar of the CIAA.
Nonetheless, the moving finger writes, and
having written moves on.
SORROWFUL DEPARTURE...Over and
above board is a term made popular by the
beloved Lloyd Richardson during the many
years he has been in Charlotte.
Lloyd, whose popularity is exceeded only by
his untiring efforts in helping to bring utilities to
the westside of the city, is an International Union
Representative for the United Auto Workers. A
position that keeps him on the move.
Wilmington’s gain will be this community’s
loss when Mr. Richardson takes up residence in
taht coastal city. Even though his body will be
transferred, Lloyd says that his thoughts and
feelings will be here with his friends, “over and
above board.”
HALLOWEEN AFFAIRS... Halloween is the
time of witches, broomsticks, ghosts, and
goblins. This evening of October 31, is celebrated
nowadays with fun-making and masqerades.
And to that end many events are planned,two
such events are:
Wednesday night, October 31, some person
is going to walk away with some cash money.
The Upstairs Lounge and Disco located on the
corner of Graham and 10th Streets is sponsoring
“A Costume Disco,” from 8 P.M. til 1 A.M., and
the person dressed in the moat original costume
will win the green stamps.
The Iota Chapter of the Chi Eta Phi Sorority is
sponsoring a Halloween Masquerade Disco
