Roberts advises that they receive counseling from their min ister. “This way,” Rev. Roberts . interjected, “they will have a better '. jdea of what marriage is about.” •»djA man," Rev. Robert^ contin nod, “should be able to discipline the f home first. If a minister, for ex ample, can’t discipline his home how can he be successful in disciplin ing the House of God? ’ ’ The extent of defining the husband and wife roles - -i» -the marriage is based on Bi blical principles, Rev. Roberts re lated. "Any conflicts require an inter change and giving on both parts to be resolved,” Rev. Roberts con : !ifinned. TheBiblestates that woman is to be submissive to her husband. Rev. Roberts believes that if a man expects his wife to be submissive he has to love his wife as Christ loves the church. “The submissiveness comes when the husband does his job,” Rev. Roberts noted, “other wise he shouldn’t expect anything.” Mrs. Roberts agress with her husband. She feels that no woman should be a doormat, instead she says "a wife is a helpmate. She was taken from Adam’s side - not his foot. Because she was taken from his side, she is to be by his side." Rev. Roberts is an ordained minister of Pentecostal Assemblies of the Word (with headquarters in Indianapolis, IN). Before moving to evangelist. He presently serves as minister of the Calvary Christian Church of the Apostolic Faith, serves on the Board of the Caro lina Council and occasionally is called as an evangelist. Mrs. Roberts is active in the ministry of her husband. Both enjoy intense study of the Word of God and teaching. Their anniversary ceremony will be symbolic. They will repeat their vows with members of their fa mily and the church family as the wedding party. Bishop Paul Powers of Ohio will officiate. There will be guest sing ers and the colors will be peaches and cream. Study Reports Ways £Tet Out Black Vote Washington, DC - In the wake of Jesse Jackson’s successful black voter registration drive, a newly released study, “Mobilizing the Black Community, outlines v technique? for getting this growing t * Specifically, Carton found that face-to-face appeals by campaign volunteers and community leaders in Detroit’s black precincts increased black voter turnout dramatically. The most impressive increases occurred in precincts worked by party volunteers, where the turnout vMP T& jpfeilSentage points higher than in unworked black precincts. “The key factor in the effectiveness of the Party vo lunteers was apparently their ex tensive face-to-face interaction with the voters,” Carton says. Nevertheless, according to Dr. “Carteri’s research, there was also a small but significant increase in black voter participation in precincts where printed materials were distributed to the electorate with a minimum of face-to-face interaction. • !<<-' r; ■ i*.i i • Carton's specific recommenda tions for getting registered blacks to vote include: -Encourage volunteers and . community leaders to engage in as much face-to-face interaction with the black electorate as possible. Campaign leaders should closely supervise volunteers to ensure a high degree of interaction. anmJiyid'.J ia i.nui id' i -^Wse. campaign volunteers In black precincts of all income levels, since these workers are effective in all segments of the black community. I I -Recruit community leaders to contact voters within lower- and lower-middle-income black precincts. It is within these areas that community leaders have the greatest impact on the black vote. In his foreword to the study, Eddie N. Williams, president of the Joint Center, praises “Mobilizing the Black Community,” noting! that it makes a significant contribution to political science. "Moreover,” he said, “anyone running or observing a campaign in a predominantly black jurisdiction will find Mr. Carton’s discussion informative and highly relevant to the nuts-and-bolts decisions of political organizing.” Rev. and Mrs. Edward Roberts Celebrate 25 years of marriage CALL To Sponsor - Workshop To Train Volunteer Tutors The Charlotte Area Literacy (CALL) will spepaor a work shop to train volunteer tutors to teach reading to adults Friday August 17 from 7 until 10 p.m. and Saturday August 18,10a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Charlotte Area Literacy League Office, 1520 South Boulevard (acrow from Harris Hart Clothiera).

However, they need some guidance, and I we Black adults have a responsibility to encourage and assist these leaders of tomorrow. We must remember that a college graduate of 1984 was probably bom tn 1962. thus he or she was bom when Mrs. Rosa Parks was too tired to move to the back of the bus: 6 years of age during the outrage of snarling dogs and forceful fire hoses In the park in Birmingham and the memorable "March On Washington,' and 8 when thousands marched from Selma to Montgomery. As a result, too many of our young don’t know, or . understand, the thrust of the CUdl-Righi* Movement Ttx> many of i them have chosen to be guided by emotion and want to believe that it was to prove that Black can beat White or mistakenly thinking I that we were to receive somethlngjust because we're Qlack.
