Blessings that make life more enjoyable can be found in the opportunity to have a fine young gentleman like Odis Roberson for a neighbor and Luther Thompson and Oren McCullough for brothers-in law. ...and the great pleasure experienced daily with the privilege to work with such beautiful people as Bernard Reeves, Dan neete Gaither, Betty Potts, Teresa Burns Susan Ellsworth, C. J. Whaley, Francetta #wens, Jackie Carr and Christopher . Brown. -And equally as rewarding is the honor to be included in a family that has aunt Lessie, uncle Vandee, uncle Gus, Miller and Alice Smith, George and Jean Cunningham, Lucielle and Hoyt Lee Wilson, Rosetta and Talmadge Alexander, Blanche Grant, Gary Grant, Ealer and Nathaniel Barrett, Jua nita Sigler, Roberta Frieson and uncle Ellis Bailey. ....It is indeed an unusual blessing to be associated with a profession that allows you to meet and admire people like Bob Moorman, the commissioner of the CIAA; Rev. Paul Drummond, the distinguished minister of St. Paul Baptist church; Shirley Johnson, the knowledgable Community Re lations Specialist with the Charlotte-Meck lenburg School System; Ron Lee per, every body’s favorite city councilman; Edmund Johnson, the flamboyant lawyer; Tommy Gibbs, the perfect discription of a “friendly banker”; Mrs. Inez Parker, the stately lady who has made immeasurable contributions to Johnson C. Smith University; and Moses Belton, whose dedication and devotion and long hours of hard work help to put Johnson C. Smith on the national maps. ....Then there is the “love of my life,” Granny (Mrs. Elsie Brewer) the most deservedly beloved “Angel” to ever grace this planet. She is God’s gift to this troubled world. ....And her lovely daughter, Billye who is Bunt of the same mold. ....One could not forget the count among his numerous blessings the devoted friend ship developed with the good people in the Biddleville Community during the long years I served as their mail carrier, and “adopted” members of each of their fami lies. ....This is my humble way of publicly informing God that I’m ever aware and deeply appreciative for his many bles sings...! sometimes wonder if I am deserv ing of such richness! ....Here’s hoping that your blessings during the years have been as bountiful and Poor Man's Garage Now Open On Dixie River Rd. ■ Behind The Airport All Auto Repaires j Transmissions_We Haul Junk Cars "Cheaper Than Anywhere Else" Larry & Son's 394-7828 or 399-5414 I Winston-Salem To Host Black CoIWp AII-Amprlp«nc SPECIAL TO THE POST Winston-Salem will draw some of the greatest names in the history of football during the Black College All-American Weekend, Jan. 25-27, to honor this season’s best football play ers from Black colleges.

But it gets so dry and brittle. Why? ANSWER: It has be come a fad to give blow dry looks without using grease; also not to roll the hair between salon visits. It is good for models or showgirls who go to thetr stylist weekly. With 75 percent of blacks having dry hair and going to the salon every two weeks it is wise to oil and roll their hair.
