GREENSBORO I was
very nervous because I had
never been in front of a
camera,” is the way Paula
Richardson, an A&T State
University student, des
cribes her initial attempts
at producing a real
commercial television
show.
But Paula and several
other A&T students are
gaining more and more
confidence, thanks to a new
internship program insti
tuted by WGHP-TV of High
Point, N.C.
In a little over a month,
she has already produced
two small shows and hosted
another one.
In spite of federal equal
employment laws, blacks
still can't claim many
meaningful jobs in televi
sion, simply because there
aren’t a wealth of trained
blacks for the profession.
The High Point experi
ence was initiated to help
remedy that situation.
“It’s our belief that
talent is where you find it,” 1
said Eugene Bohi, manager i
of the station. ‘‘You don’t!
disregard talent because of
race, and color, because
you have to have the pick of
the litter.”
“It is our idea to provide
an added extension of
practical experience be
yond the classroom,” said
Bohi, “and to give the
students a taste of what this
industry is like.”
“Assignments have been
in public affairs, news,
programming and produc
tion,” said Don Forney,
director of community
relations.
For her initial shows, one
a gospel program, and the
other a talk show she
hosted on “Women in
Death”, Paula was charged
with selecting the subjects.
booking the guests and
promoting the show.
“Internal programs like
this make a station much
stronger,” said Bohi.
“At least when these
students complete this
internship, they will know
how to apply for a position
in television,” said Forney,
“and that’s pretty impor
tant.”

IT’S AMAZING!

From The Veterans Administration
DURHAM - Mrs. Sharon Bell Mathis, a librariarn
who is author of six books for children, will speak
Wednesday, March 12 to students in the School of
Library Science at North Carolina Central University.
GREENSBORO - During the first seven weeks of this
year, more than $58 million were refunded to Federal
income taxpayers in North Carolina, an average of $307
per refund.
As of Feb. 22, more than 769,000 North Carolinians
had filed their individual 1974 Federal tax returns, a 24
percent increase over the same period last year.
IRS is processing returns at a faster rate than last
year and refunds are mailed to taxpayers about five
weeks after the return is received, if no errors are
found.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Richardson
Preyer announced co-sponsorship of legislation in the
House banning food stamp abuses by college students.
Preyer said the bill would amend the Food Stamp Act
to prohibit participation in this program by college
students who ae 18 years old and properly claimed tax
dependents by families, who themselves, are ineligible
to receive food stamps.
The bill would still allow genuinely poor students to
participate in the program.
WASHINGTON - Sixth District Congressman
Richardson Preyer introduced legislation to insure that
workers laid off their jobs do not lose health insurance
coverage for themselves and their families.
Preyer noted that unless Congress acts quickly,
3,000,000 workers who have already lost their jobs may
lose their health insurance protection as well.
“One of the first decisions a worker must make when
laid off is whether to gamble with the family’s health
and economic security or to purchase individual family
protection, is available, at rates up to $100 per month,”
Preyer said. “This is a particularly difficult decision
when the average unemployment benefit is $70 per
week."
Under Congressman Preyer’s bill, a worker would
receive the same health insurance coverage for himself
and his family as he did prior to being laid off. Would
be provided through the same program and insurance
carrier that the worker had while employed, but the
federal government would pay the premium.

North Carolina’s 67,137
holders of GI life insurance

million in record divident

due or a policy loan, to
purchase paid-up additions
to their policies,' or they
may accrue and earn
interest, Johnson explain

Q. How can I determine
whether to use Form 1040 or
1040A to figure my tax?
A. Generally, the Short Form
1040A is used by a person who
does not itemize his deduct
ions and whose gross income
consists only of wages, salary,
tips, and dividend income or
interest income of $400 or less.
But, taxpayers who have other
types of income, gains or
losses from sales or exchanges
of capital assets, investment
tax credit, sick pay exclusion,
etc,, should use Form 1040 and
the appropriate schedules to
determine their tax. The ins
tructions for each form explain
in greater detail which form is
appropriate for you to use.
