By Teresa Simmons
Past Managing Editor
As the Churchworker of
the Year contest comes to
its climax on Friday, July
36, die fate of the three
leading workers will be
placed in the reliable hands
of judges Maggie Braun,
chairperson, Annie McCol
lum and Berte Stocks.
By now everyone pro
bably knows that the top
subscription sellers in each
church category will com
peteXoribe coveted tide of
“Churchworker of the
Year.” The final <W4ionn
will be made by the judges
from a letter written, re
spectively, by each con
testant’s pastor.
“The person’s name will
not be on the letters so we
will not know whom we are
judging,’’ stated Mrs.
Braun. Therefore, there
will be no preconceived
notions or the possibility of
even the slightest sublimin
al bias.
; “Our basis of jwfeii*
will coroe strictly from
what those letters say. The
three of us will scrutinize
each letter carefully,”
Mrs. Braun stated, adding,
“I am definitely looking
forward to being a judge. I
Maggie Braun
. ....Believes id social action ':***
have a great deal of re
spect and concern for what
the Post does in the com
munity.
"I ant a subscriber and I
read it carefully. I am a
person who is concerned
for the total community,”
Mrs. Braun added. 4
As a member of the Little
Rock A ME ZRn Church,
where Rev. William M.
White pastors, Mrs.
Braun is a person who
prefers action. "In the New
Testament, Jesus exhorts
us to love one another and
to care for one another. All
of His words were geared
towards us putting that
love into action. That's
what He did. We should be
out in the field doing our
Father’s business.’’
Mrs. Braun is extremely
involved in neighborhood
development and mainten
ance, both physically and
mentally. “I take the
words of Jesus, "If you do
it to the least of my bre
thren, You do it to me,” to
heart Right now I am very
involved dvically and so
cially with several neigh
borhood organizations such
as the Beatties Ford Road
Merchants Association
and the Biddleville-Five
Paints. I believe in social
action. I don’t want to see
the repeat of Third and
Fourth Wards’ disinte
gration of neighborhoods.
Ndghborboods should stay
where they are m»w« the

All of the subscription
pads have been turned in.
The weekly prizes have all
been distributed to tap win
ners and there is no more
reporting to do. The six
weeks of the WPEG
Eastem-Coca Cola spon
sored Church worker of the
Year contest have finally
come to a close. But the
suspense is not over. As a
nutter of fact, it has only
Just begun. ' -vS- ' * -L.< >j.
Throughout the contest,
the object for the contes
tants was to become the top
contestant in her category.
According to the cocyrega
ttonal size of the church,
the contestant was placed
in either small, medium, or
large categories.
There was only one way
to place first in the cate
gory - that was to sell ntore
subscriptions than the
competition. For each sub
scription sold <3 went beck
to the church to help fi
nancially support some of
its projects.
Between the contestants
and her committee, the
number of subscriptions
accumulated over the
weeks and by the end of the
contest three women had
been named as the three
finalists of the contest.
Having reached this
stage of the contest, an
other phase goes into ope*
ration. The pastor of each
class winning church now
has to submit a letter of
recommendation to the
panel of Judges who have
been selected. The contents
of that letter will explain
why the contestant shotdd,
be chosen Church worker of
the Year.
Based on the Judges’ de
cision alone, will the win
ner of the Eastern trip to
the Bahamas, the tor coat
from The Vintage Girl, and
the 9900 shopping spree
from Winn-Dixie be de
termined.
Once the contestant has
reached the finalist stage,
the number of subscrip
tions she has sold does not
play a part in the prises the
contestant wins. Only the
letter written by the fi
nalist’s pastor will receive
I " * * ' * T*1" ■*'
the Judges’ consideration.
It maybe a consolation to
the finalists to know that do
matter if she places first,
second or third, each prise
she is entitled to win is one
that she will both enjoy and
long remember.
