Miss Stroud’s Children Share Their “Feelings” ov Lomia .nanago Post Staff Writer Over the years few things remain unchanged, taxes get higher, living costs in crease. But one thing that has not altered in 40 years for the children at Fairview Homes is the love and attention that Miss Anita Stroud has always given. Today, like yesterday, “Miss Nila" has served as a symbol of hope for the young residents. And al though Miss Stroud is no longer working with the program, she has left a very capable and dedicated woman in her place, Ms. Ethel Guest. What has kept the child ren pouring in the trailer year after year? One an swer could possibly be the different trips that the children take throughout the year or the fabulous parties during Christinas that produce food and gifts. Somehow those answers only partially tell the story. It’s the intan gibles...the idea that some body cares, the idea that someone expects some thing out of them that complete the picture. Present students of Miss Stroud - Lisa Brown, Ramada Wright and Kim Reid and former students Romia Williams and Dianne Moore share their —feelings about the program inlhisufijftfcler .n — Ramada Wright .Learns about the Bible Lisa Brown .Learns to help others A sixth grade student at Druid Hills, Lisa Brown has been involved in the Anita Stroud program for four years. During that time Miss Brown has pro ven herself worthy of re sponsibility and now is an assistant. Surprisingly enough helping is what Miss Brown likes best about the program. “What I like best is helping Ms. Guest help the others to understand the Bible better,” replied Miss Brown. When it comes to ac tivities, Miss Brown, the daughter of Barbara Brown, enjoys the parties at St. John's Baptist Church. “In the program we learn a lot of stuff; we learn about the Bible and how to act like ladies when called Miss Brown. “What I've learned since I’ve been going to the pro gram,” commenced Ra mada Wright, “is how to be kind to others, how to be have and I’ve also learned about the Bible.” A fifth grade student at Reedy Creek, Miss Wright gets the most fun out of going to camp each year. “At camp we go swim ming, play games, and learn how to make things.” She has been attending the program since she was eight years old. The daugh ter of Joseph and Gerald ine Wright, Miss Wright would like to be a teacher when she grows up. Kim Reid’s comments about Miss Stroud and Ms. Guest echoed the senti ments of both Misses Wright and Brown. “Thevlreboth very loving Black Media Association-— Sets Career Day Wctk^iops By Karen Parker Post Staff Writer The Black Media As sociation (BMA) of Char lotte will host the third annual media Career Day workshops at Johnson C.

Reading the Bible and going places are what she loves best about the pro gram. The daughter of Sandra and Ricardo Reid, Miss Reid dreams of be coming a nurse when she gets older. Not only do the present children of Miss Stroud have special memories, but former children of hers recall the times they spent with “Miss Nita.” “What stands out most in my mind Mecklenburg Democrats To Toast Candidates Continued From Page 1 -the Civic Center, theywill join in a toast' to Suppoit Harvey-Gantt-and the De mocratic candidates for City Council. This is also an effort to raise money, and the public is invited to at tend. There will he a $25 donation. Supporting Harvey Gantt in his bid for mayor and supporting the other Demo cratic candidates for City Council is the reasoo the Mecklenburg Democratic Party wants you to join them on October 25 at the Civic Center. The Demo cratic leadership knows that the outcome on No vember 8 may well be asignal for things to come in 1984. In fact, in political’ terms, it may be a key to many races in 1984. With that in mind, the theme “Solidarity of Democratic Leadership” will be un veiled on the 25th. The first exam will be on November 8, and the finals will be in 1984. " — ■ H about Miss Stroud,” com menced Romia Williams, a geric technician for the aging, "was her patience for us and later I would see children turn out good that you never would have thought would amount to anything,” she concluded. “Being involved with Miss Stroud as a child kept me from being in the streets and made me feel like I was a part of some thing,” reflected Ms. Williams. "She tried so hard for 05:" Through the years Miss Williams has not been able to stay in direct con tact with the program, but she does read any articles she can find on the pro gram and because Miss Stroud now resides where she works, the Wesley Nursing Center, Miss Williams has a chance to see her all of the time. "I was glad she came to Wes ley to stay. When I saw her sne Knew my name right away,” revealed Miss Williams. ‘‘There are still a lot of her children who visit her.” Miss Williams is the mother of two sons, David Lee and Derrick and one daughter, Lisa. v For Dianne Moore the unselfish, loving, caring manner that Miss Stroud has always displayed has stood out in Mrs. Moore’s mind. Mrs. Moore recalled, '"Growing up in Fairview Homes there weren’t many positive outlets or ' ex- • tracurricular activities for us. Miss Nita kept us occupied and out of trou ble,” replied Mrs. Moore. The owner of Styles By DyAnn and a consultant for Revlon, Mrs. Moore, in 1961, sponsored a Hair-A Thon as a benefit for Miss Stroud. The weekend-long project yielded $500 for the missionary. Without these testimon ies the years Miss Stroud has poured into this mis sion speak for themselves, but it is because of these testimonies that the work Miss Stroud started will not falter or subside.

"The Fun Run is 5 km. and the walk-run is 10 km. This year’s effort is a real partnership between the college and the com munity.” Locally, the walk will benefit the Hot Meals Program to enable the program to expand. "There is a special ur gency in this year’s Walk Effort due to the Global Food Crisis,” said Rev. Phillip Grigsby of CROP. "Twenty-six countries face severe food deficits due to weather and catas trophe. We urgently need funds just to keep people alive, and then provide for self-help development.” “We all know the needs locally to feed the hungry. Everyone of the programs supported through CROP events this year are faced with greater levels of need. We feel a special effort is needed this year to provide aid both locally and over seas.” In Charlotte, many new groups are involved in the elfort this year. In Gas tonia and Gaston County, the walk was spurred by Chris Loftis’ walk through Gastonia last summer as part of his trek across the state for CROP._ * __ .
