Hello! As I gazed at the flakes of snow last
Saturday night, I couldn’t help but wonder
that nature gives to every time and season
some beauties of its own; and from morning
to night, as from the cradle to the grave, is
but a succession of changes so gentle and
easy that we can scarcely mark their
progress.
i
In the next few paragraphs though, the
happenings spoken of can be marked.
JANUARY DOING
...Many things hap
pened during that
month of Capricorns
and Aquariuses.
Some of them were
very positive in na
ture and brought a
about some positive
results.
One such posivity
was a big bash spon
sored by Nathaniel
and Lucille Black at
- ■■■
Bob Johnson
their Kings and Queens Lounge on South
BrevardStreet. The function was a birthday
party for all of the people bornTn January,
and was held the last night of the month.
This was a party that blended, to an
enjoyable perfection, the earth and air sign
participants. Included among the birthday
celebrants were Gwendolyn Burton, Sharon
Evans, Ronola Wayne Flawerll, Edna J.
Harris, Curtis Ardrey, Bernard Gaston and
Dorothy Faust.
Calvin Davis Jr. spun the tunes that kept
the spirits and bodies moving. '
BIRTHDAY DINNER...While on the sub
ject of birthday parties - Deborah Johnson
and Ron Saunders were very pleasantly
honored at one recently.
Barbara Page’s lovely home on Sunfield
Drive was used to physically frame the
birthday well-wishers, while hearty, convi
viality was the emotional structure.
William Butler, Reggie Banks, Pearline
Morrow, Calvin Johnson, Connie Hender
son, Thomas Williams, Charles Frazier,
Valerie Singleton, Deborah Edwards from
Spartanburg, South Carolina, Allie Grant,
Thelma Grier, Andrea White, Willie White,
Jerome Davis and Jerry Johnson were the
cheery builders of a very strong and festive
structure.
Someone once said you will find fellow
ship nowhere unless you bring some with
you. They brought a lot with them.
SWEETHEART’S BALL...Since this is
the week for sweethearts, what better way
to end it, the week that is, than with the Los
Bravos at their fourth annual Sweetheart’s
Ball. She’ll love you for it!
Saturday night, February 16, at Char
lotte’s Civic Center is when and where this
cupid type affair will be. The heart-shaped
fun will begin at 9 p.m. and begrudgingly
end around 1 a.m. In between these hours
there will be a lot of moving and grooving to
the sounds of a group called “Amida.”
How do you pronounce that name again,
Joe?
-LONG GONE FUN Mike Cotton, the
affable operator of the Midway Lounge,
split last week from his seven day a week
grind for a well deserved rest and re
cuperation. However, before he left, an
ordinary Monday evening bar session
turned into a free and easy merrimaking
bon voyage.
William Whitmire, Chuck Collins, David
Young, and Jack Branch were just a few of
the dudes involved in this sociable send off.
SIP AND SHOW...It is the rule of all rules,
and the general law of all laws, that every
person should observe the fashions of the
place where he is, and a good place to be
next Sunday evening is the Upstairs Lounge
- 620 North Graham Street. There he will
have an opportunity to observe lots of heady
fashions, while sipping cocktails.
Coming Attractions will present this show
which will feature all types of fashions of
today. Time 5-8 p.m., February 17.
JAZZ MOVE...The melodiously, silky
voice of Lucy Shropshire, backed by two
superb musicians, Don Thompson on drums
and Jerry Lambert on keyboards, are the
ingredients of a group that could put a smile
on Ebenezer Scrooge’s face, love in his
heart and rhythm in the old mizer’s tired
bones.
The pleasing-to-the-ear sound of this
music making trio can now be heard
nightly, except Sunday, in the lounge at the
Registry Inn on Woodlawn Road.
Happiness is. rather than it seems!

TRICHOLOGY
CORNER
I Mr. Charles R.B. J
Question: My hair
grows in the top but
breaks off on the sides
and back Why?
Answer: Trichoppilo
fis or trichohexisnodosa
is where the hair breaks
to a stubby short point
or loops into knots and is
broken by combing or
picking. Normally this
hair is short and dry.
You need a carefully
controlled program of
hair care to overcome
this problem See a com
petent trichologist or
stylist

Blacks Must Stand Up, Be Counted
, by Susan K l Is w orth
Post Staff Writer
The Census Bureau and
the Community- Services
Administration will join ef
forts to improve the census
count on the nation’s poor
and minorities.
Both agencies have
agreed to a nationwide 1980
Census Awareness Cam
paign to promote public
understanding and co
operation with the census.
“Blacks, Hispanics and
other minority groups must
stand up and be counted in
1980 or many urban com
munities could forfeit
manv millions of dollars in
federal and state aid based
on census data," explains
Dennis Waller, a Com
munity Service Specialist.
He stresses that census
data provides a basis for
Congressional reapportion
ment and redistricting of
state and local government
bodies.
“Many of those most
likely to benefit from
federal and state pro
grams,” Waller pointed
out,” are the same ones
who have tended to be
undercounted in past
censuses."
Mrs. Pride
Hosts Gardriy
Club Meeting
The Washington Height
Garden Club held their
meeting last Tuesday at
the home of Jannie Pride,
2325 Booker Ave. A club
anniversary was planned
at the meeting. The mem
bers will celebrate March
31 at West Charlotte Com
munity Center from 7-9
p.m.
The Council of the Wash
ington Height Garden Club
has planned a slide show on
flowers. This meeting will
be a social gathering and
each club member will be
responsible for bringing at
least one guest.
Ten members enjoyed
the dinner served by Mrs.
Pride. They were Lois
Scott, Ethel Choate, Viola
Allison, Willette Patterson,
Cora Gaither, Geniva Size
moore, Nancy English,
Carrie Pitts, Edena Wil
liams and Jannie Pride.
The next meeting in
March will be held at the
home of Lois Scott, 1615
Taylor Ave,
One 01 tne most frequent
misconceptions about giv
ing census information is
that it will be used by other
government branches such
as the Internal Revenue
Service or the Department
of Health, Education and
Welfare.
All information is used
only for the census and is
not shared with any
government branch.
According to the Census
Bureau, major changes
have occured in U.S. age
structures during the 1970s
The number of children
under age five.has dropped
nearly nine percent from
17.2 million to 15.6 million.
Those children aged 5-13
have declined in number by
16.4 percent or six million
