HIGH POINT - To
encourage children to read
throughout the summer.
High Point Public Library
offers summer reading
programs for every age
child at the main library
and Washington Street
Branch.
This summer something
new has been added to the
customary reading clubs for
school-age children in the
first through the sixth
grades. A Pixie Club is
open to four and five
year-olds, to include story
hours, introduction to
books, and games.
Pixies will meet on
Tuesdays at 10 a.m.,
beginning June 10, and at
the branch on Fridays at 10
a.m., starting June 14.
The other reading clubs
are Big Chief Reading
Feathers for grades 1, 2,
and 3 and the Funtastics for
grades 4, 5 and 6.
All reading clubs meet
once a week during June
and July for story hours,
films and book exchange.
The reading incentive
program continues on
through August, with
recognition given for num
bers of books read.
Because of limited space
and anticipated heavy
registration at the main
library, the younger Big
Chief readers are divided
into two groups. Children
may register for one or the
other, but not both. The
club meets on Mondays or
Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m.
Sessions begin June 10 and
June 11. At the branch the
Big Chief club meets on
Mondays at 10 a.m.,
beginning June 10.
Older readers who join
the Funtastics will meet at
the main library on
Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m.,
beginning June 12, and at
the branch on Tuesdays at 2
p,rn., beginning June 11.
In recognition. Big Chief
Readers will receive a
feather sticker for every
two books read. Six stickers
reward the reader with a
pin, twelve stickers with a
special ribbon.
The Funtastics, readers
in the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades, will be given maps
when they register. Tw'O
state stickers will be given
for each book read. A
completed map of 50
stickers is honored with a
certificate.
Even Pixies will receive
reading cards to fill in with
stickers of farmyard ani
mals for each time they
attend story hour.
Miss Elizabeth Gurley,
head of children’s services,
and James Gates, assistant
at Washington Street
Branch, have been visiting
local schools this month to
invite school children to
join the public library
reading clubs.

late Bloomers’
Welcome At A&T
GREENSBORO - Four
years ago, Ramona (not her

eligible for college, because
of her high school record.
Last month, she graduat
ed from A&T State
University as an honor
student and will enter a
prestigious graduate school
in the fall with an
expense-paid fellowship.
The success stories
surrounding A&T Provabi
lity Program which admits
“late bloomers”, continues
to mount and director J.
Neil Armstrong announced
that the program will be
offered again during the
university’s summer school
program.
A special institute for
prospective freshman stu
dents will be held June 17
to July 26.
‘‘We want to provide a
second change for a
selected group of high
school graduates, who for
various reasons have failed
to meet standard college
entrance requirements,”
said Armstrong.
In addition to basic
instruction, the students
w'ill be provided special
tutorial services, lectures
and lyceum programs.
Also new this summer
will be a program to

OBITUARIES

Church by the Rev. T. M.
Brown. Burial followed in
Carolina Biblical Garden.

GREENSBORO -- The
Department of Sociology
and Social Service at A&T
State University has receiv
ed funds from the Russell-
Sage Foundation for a
program to increase the
number of Black Ph.D.'s in
sociology.
The program has cur
rently received the amount
of $202,000, with $200,000
to be used for the program
itself, and for the remain
ing $2,000 to be used as
seed money for raising the
remainder of $2.7 million
from other sources for the
program to be started.
In general, the program
consists of a consortium of
13 predominantly black and
predominantly white col
leges and universities. The
six white universities,
along with Howard Univer
sity, house the graduate
programs in sociology.
The six black universities
house undergraduate so
ciology programs.
The consortium will
consider for admission
black students from parti
cipating predominantly
black institutions who are
interested in applying.
Faculty without doctoral
degrees will also be given
consortium support.
The program will seek to
deal with the problem of
too few black Ph.D
sociologists, since sociology
has historically dealt with
the social and economic
conditions of blacks.
This is so that students
entering the program at the
graduate level will be
better prepared for gra
duate study.
Thus, at the graduate
level, the student will be
prepared much better to
continue on to the Ph.D. in
sociology.
Participating schools in
clude Duke University,
Indiana University, Uni
versity of Massachusetts,
University of North Caro
lina at Chapel Hill,
Princeton University,
Washington State Univer
sity, and Howard Univer
sity with both a graduate
and an undergraduate
program.
Undergraduate, pre
dominantly Black universi
ties and colleges include
Bethune-Cookman Collese,
Florida Agricultural and
Mechanical University,
North Carolina Agricultural
and Technical State Uni
versity, North Carolina
Central University, Touga-
loo College, and Southern
