Peeler Special To The Post The Charlotte Chapter of St. Augustine's Univers ity Alumni Association held its regular monthly meet ing recently, begin ning at» p.m. at the Sharon Chase Condominium Club House at 4600 Sharon Amity Road. The Charlotte Chapter of the Alumni Association has been functioning since Jan uary 1982 when its organ ization was spearheaded by co-organizers Zelma Turner and Earline Nelson. At Saturday's meeting, attended by nine of the 21 active Charlotte members, the organization set goals and designed projects to raise funds to contribute financially to St. August ine’s University. They plan to “make a financial con tribution by graduating time of this year,” accord ing to chapter spokes woman Zelma Turner. In order to achieve this goal they decided to “raffle off $30 worth of groceries and have a disco dance on No vember 13,” added Ms. Turner. Bernard King and Mrs. Freddie Smith head this fundraising effort. Albert Huey, Bernard King, Ethel Young and Freddie Smith compose the fundraising committee.

Most of the growth in Black political power has been in the South, which now has seven more dis- * tricts with populations 20 percent or more Black, than it had following the last reapportionment in 1972. And, according to Will iams, there are at least two non-Southern districts in which Black candidates have a decent shot at vic tory. Alan What, a Black Mis souri assemblyman, has won the Democratic no mination to succeed retir ing Rep. Richard Bolling, and Black attorney Orville Pitts is given a reasonable chance in a “wild" six-way primary battle to succeed retired Rep. Henry Reuss in Wisconsin’s Fifth Dis trict. But despite his optimism, Williams cautions that the Black population percent ages can be somewhat mis leading. First, the Census Bureau’s numbers don’t cover voting-age popula tion, which may be smaller for Blacks than the general population figures suggest, and, second, even Blacks who are eligible to vote | DENTURES I » may not vote in numbers sufficient to transform their potential power into actual influence. I involvement committee and J.D. Singletary and Lloyd Davis are respons ible for alumni affairs. According to co-presi dent Turner, “There are approximately 40 St. Au gustine’s University alumni in the Charlotte area and persons desiring to become affiliated with the Charlotte chapter should contact Zelma Turner at 568-5889 or Earline Nelson at 597-0753.

Huff Finds Way To Beat Economic Hard Times By Karen Parker Post Staff Writer Tfie state of the nation’s egonoipy is-probably cre ating hardships on all Americans. Large and small com panies are being forced to demand hiring freezes. Layoffs increase daily making unemployment sta tistics soar at a catastro phic all-time high. People seem to be won dering if there is any hope. Will Thanksgiving pass without a turkey carving? Will Christmas bring Yule tide carols or songs of woe and despair? John L. Huff claims he has found a way to beat economic hard times. A former realtor, he has no regrets about becoming a direct sales representative with Cher-Bell Creations, Inc. He joined the company in May but confidently stated, he will earn “well over $30,000 within two years.’’ Actually, that's the salary estimation for a part-time employee. Huff is in the business as a full-time re presentative and already enjoying a hefty income. He explained, “Cher-Beli Creations is an Aloe Vera product Company which specializes in skin care, health care and glamour products.” The good thing about Cher-Beli according to Huff is that it’s an international company with representatives throughout the nation. The home office is in Memphis, Tenn. “Being such a large company, I want people without jobs to know where tthere are hundreds off career opportunities with Cher-Beli. Getting involved with this company is a hedge against inflation.” According to Huff, unlike most companies, a Cher IBeli representative cam enter the company at any position desired. The per son can start at the top like Huff chose to do, as a Master Coordinator; or one might choose to begin as a coordinator, a supervisor or even begin at the ground level as a beauty consult ant. fcven though people are being more careful about their purchases. Huff said the Aloe Vera sales con tinue to have a promising outlook. “Our growth pat tern in the last 21* years has been over 3400 percent increase,” he stated. “That’s because our Aloe Vera products contain pure juice from the Aloe plants," he projected. Aloe Vera plants are used uni versally for cosmetic phar macological purposes. While Huff enjoys the idea that he's in a secure job position, he is also pleased with the company benefits. Things like re tirement income, profit sharing, vacation trips, monthly contests, prizes and no security risks. Huff is proud that his - - - * •_*_ 'wife is also a Cher-Beli representative. The couple recently attended a nation al convention in Memphis, Tenn. The nationally ac claimed Dr. Norman Vin cent Peale and makeup tartist Joey Mills were; among attendants. Mr. Huff was appointed to a national 12-member advis ory board, while at the convention. A regional seminar was held in Salisbury last week end. In just a few months, Huff has already recruited 44 people. Durham, Rae ford, Southern Pine and Charlotte are just a few of the areas where he has helped unemployed people gain an income, or people with jobs to obtain a sup plemental income.
