St Augustine’s Alumni Set
Goals And Design Projects
By James G. 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.
Zelma Turner and Earl
ine Nelson are co-presi
dents of the Charlotte
chapter.

cretary and Willie Dunn is

them newly reapportioned.
“Blacks may prove to be
a swing vote in several
Southern districts where
incumbents rode the Rea
gan coattails to victory,”
added Williams.
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

may not vote in numbers
sufficient to transform
their potential power into
actual influence.

area and persons desiring
to become affiliated with
the Charlotte chapter
should contact Zelma
Turner at 568-5889 or

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.
