The Elimination of
Racism” is the motto of
Charlotte’s Young
- ,J§p.rr>PA’s Christian
Association' (VWCAK the
Association has taken a
giant leap towards that
elimination by appointing
the first black President of
the Charlotte YWCA in its
82 year history.
Billye Collins was one of
several names considered
by a special committee of
the YWCA. The Board of
Directors made the final
decision to have her serve
the one year term and to
women’s organization in
the city. The YWCA has
over 12,000 members in

Committee composed of 30
ladies from other countries

YWCA Member Lanui
Hoover is a member of this
committee).

is also one of the 10 largest
YWCA’s on the Eastern
Seaboard. Diligently, Mrs.
Collins plans to work on the
mission of the Y - the
elimination of racism. “It’s
important to me because I
am a black woman and l
• want to be a part Of the
elimination of racism,”
Mrs. Collins conveyed.
By interaction, special
educational programs and
by reaching out to com
munities, the Y is bridging
many of society’s gaps.
"We would like to reach
more low income individ

ships so many can partici
pate in programs in their

plans. “I plan to continue
with the goals and objec

Social ^Security and Medi
care with Jesse Helms'
long record of open
hostility to both programs.
“Jesse Helms’ record in
dicates that his solution
would be increased out-of
pocket costs and decreased
benefits for the elderly,
rather than effective steps
to control hospital costs,”
said Hunt, noting that
Helms has voted to cut
billions from Medicare and
to require the elderly to
pay more for home health
care.
“Senior citizens already
devote about a fifth of their
incomes - about $125 a
month - to paying their
health bills. How much
more does Jesse Helms
think our senior citizens
can pay?” Hunt asked.
He also pointed out that
Senator Helms has voted to
scrap the Social Security
system and replace it with
some kind of private plan.
“In fact, Jesse Helms is
willing to sacrifice a sound
Social Security and Medi
care system to get votes by
pitting young workers
againkt older retirees," he
declared.
“That approach is dead
wrong. It strikes at the
heart of the contract that
each generation of Ameri
cans makes with the next:
to keep the system going so
that-all of us can look
forward to lives of security
and dignity.”
