CHORALE ANNIVERSARY...For the
third year in a row, the Greater Charlotte
Community Chorale held their annual Anni
versary Celebration. A very successful
venture, too, I might add.
February’s version
of the Chorale’s anni
versary celebration
actually began Janu
ary 31, with a work
shop that was held at
Friendship Baptist
Church, 3301 Beatties
Ford Road. The work
shop began at 9 a.m.
and ended around 4
p.m. The workshop
followed the format of
the Gospel Workshop
Bob Johnson
of America; which was founded by James
Cleveland and is attended by 25,000-30,000
people from all over the United States each
summer. The workshop is a training ex
perience for vocalists and musicians of
church choirs and other gospel and spiritual
groups.
The workshop was conducted by the well
known gospel composer Margaret F.
Douroux of Agoura. California. Dr. Douroux
penned such hits as “Show Me The Way,”
“Give Me A Clean Heart” and “God Is Not
Dead.” She presently has 100 plus copy
righted compositions published. Also
conducting the workshop was the Rev.
Doi^d Vails from Detroit, Michigan. Rev.
Vails is the organizer and director of the
Donald Vail Choraleers.
Sunday evening, February 1, around 5
p.m. people started gathering at Charlotte’s
Ovens Auditorium for the high point event
of the two-day anniversary celebration. As
the time moved closer to the 6 p.m. starting
and the auditorium hummed as it filled with
patrons, backstage the performers were
preparing. Edmond “Flip” Ingram, one of
the Community Chorale singers was lightly
voicing one of his favorite tunes while
adjusting his robe, anxiety building. On
stage the technicians were running last
minute checks on the lights and sound
systems.
Even though - the culminating activity
didn’t start until after 6 p.m., the restless
crowd soon forgot the wait and moved with
sincere emotion into the mainstream of the
music. The anniversary concert featured
the Greater Charlotte Community Chorale,
The Florida Mass Choir, The Bethel Male
Chorus and the Rev. Donald Vails’ Choral
eers.
There is in souls a sympathy with musical
sounds, and as the wind is pitched, the ear is
pleased with melting airs. Brisk or grave,
some chord in unison with what we hear is
touched within us, and the heart replies.
Many hearts replied that Sunday evening
because the magic in the melodious gospel
sounds sprang not only from the lungs, but
from the souls of the performers in each
group.
Among the many people whose hearts
were softened by the sweetness and the
sparkle of flowering music were Mr. and
MrsOVillie Hart, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester
Stone, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Allison, Mr. and
Mrs. Curtis Trapp, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Simms
Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Thad Younge, Mr. and
mrs. Alton Reid, Mr. and Mrs. Tyrone
Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Hines and Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Glover.
WINTER VACATION...Rest is the sweet
sauce of labor, and for 51 weeks Mike
Cotton, Patricia Bolten and Gwen Diggs
have labored long and hard to keep the
Midway Lounge the kind of place where
lasting friendships are cultivated.
This week, the crew will lock the doors of
the club and alternate that labor with a well

VALENTINE AFFAIR...The fourteenth
of February is a day sacred to St. Valen
tine! It was a very odd notion alluded to by
Shakespeare, that on this day birds began to
couple; hence, perhaps arose the custom of
sending on this day cards & letters contain
ing professions of love and affection. To
carry the affectionate thought one step
further, join the men of Los Bravos
Saturday night, February 14.
The Los Bravos Social Club is sponsoring
their annual “Sweethearts’ Ball” at
Charlotte’s Park Center on the above date.
The fun will begin at 9 p.m. and end at 1
a m. Brief Encounter, the North Wilkesboro
musical aggregation will play for the
guests.
DISCO BE AT...The hot and heavy disco
sounds of Dr. Funk will greet the guests
Friday night at the Beacon Club. The affair
is a dTscbWhentspORSIJmf by ttw-Efements -
of Charlotte Golf and Social Club.
If you like dancing to the latest disco
sounds, join the members of the Elements
of Charlotte in a night of fun from 9 p.m.
until 1 am.

QUESTION: Mr.
Charles, I have trouble
using deodorants. Most
of them irritate me and
I break out with a rash
and my skin gets sore 1
-need to use something
can you help?
ANSWER: The pro
blem you described is
one that bothers highly
sensitive people in most
ly professional jobs;
technically called forte
sweating. Most deo
dorants allow you to
remain wet or they are
too strong for your skin.
The Shara spray deo
dorant is one ! have
used for years. Alumi
num chlorohydrate with
a powder base is the
chief answer to keeping
you dry If this works
for you, the price is well
worth it. Ask about it at
