SUCCESS IS IN YOUR MIND
Week s
Capsule
by Alfred Hinson
NATIONAL
Last week, President Ford was petitioned by the U.S.
Commission on Civil Rights to use all resources at his
disposal to eliminate school segregation, particularly in
the North. According to the petition, which consisted of
fourteen (14) recommendations, schools in the South
have progressed substantially in their efforts toward
desegregation with approximately 50 per cent of black
pupils attending predominately white schools. Schools
in the North, however, have tailed to measure to this
effort. In the North, according to the Coinmission, more
than 71 per cent of the black schools.
Among its 14 recommendations, the Commission is
recjuesting the following steps as means of eliminating
segregation:
♦Denying tax-exempt status to segregated private
schools.
*Stop federal aid to segregated private schools.
*Ensure job protection for black administrators and
teachers.
♦Require states to submit a statewide desegregation
plan as a prerequisite tor continued federal funding.
*Put the dcsegration effort under a program headed
by one person.
♦Provide additional funds to school districts
demonstrating that busing is necessary to maintain
compliance of dcsegration laws.
♦Provide construction money only to those schools
that have complied with the dcsegration guidelines.
These are but half of the recommendations, but they
serve to show the direction of thinking of the U.S.
Commission on Civil Rights.

It is felt that the economic conditions of the United
States will be improved, if not significantly, if there
were more strigent enforcement of immigration laws.
This comment w as made by retired General Leonard F.
Chapman of the Immigration and Naturalization
Servicc.
Chapman, at a mid-winter conference of Veterans of
Foreign Wars, stated that there may be 10 million to 12
million illegal aliens in the United States is
experiencing the impact of their presence in the job
market.

Papers donated by Senator Hubert H. Humphrey to
the Minnesota Slate Historical Society have been
disallowed as deductible expenses by the Internal
Revenue Servicc. Though Sen. Humphrey has a right to
appeal this decision, he has signed an agreement to
reimburse the government for the deductions when a
bill is received from IRS.
It is estimated that Sen. Humphrey may be required
to pay as much as $147,000 lo the federal government
and $14,000 to the state.

STATE
Guilford County lawmakers Rep. Henry Frye and
Sen. Kathy Sebo introduced proposed legislation to the
North Carolina General Assembly which would enable
families to receive aid to families with dependent
children (AFDC) payments if the father resides with the
children and their mother. Frye and Sebo fee! that the
present social services law is antiquated due to the
present economic status of the state, especially the
individual job market. They also feel that the present
law encourages broken homes and dishonesty - saying
the father is away when he is really hiding.
Though federal social services laws allow states to
make payments to children when both parents reside in
the same household, no southern state has yet taken
that initiative. Both the Guilford County Board of
Commissioners and the social services board chairman
support the proposed legislation.

Mayor Howard Lee of Chapel Hill has denied that he
plans to lead a rally in Washington, D.C., next month in
support of accused murderer Joan Little.

KERNERSVILLE - John
Lovelle, one of the new
breed of black men, is a
very successful salesman
whose product is automo
biles. He is one of the top
auto salesmen in the Triad
area.
It was not always that
way still John always
wanted to sell and has
always had a special feeling
for cars. It then was only
natural that they should get
together.
First, he worked at
several other occupations
before arriving on the sales
floor, he worked on the
assembly lines in Detroit
then back to North Carolina
where he worked for the
post office in Greensboro,
and still later, back home in
Pilot Mountain he operated
a dry cleaning business.
His urge was too strong
to be ignored. He had to
sellautomobiles! So, for the
past dozen years, that is
exactly what he has been
doing.
You can find John,
pleasantly greeting people,
somewhere around the
sales floor at Parks
Chevrolet in Kernersville.
Like most good sales
men, John has some ideas
of his own on what it takes
to be a successful sales
man: (I) Get a product you
like and learn all you can
about it. (2) Honor and
respect your customers and
try to serve them w'ell. (3)
Be fair with your employer
and do a fair and honest
job. (4) Be willing to work
and be willing to start at
some place other than the
top. Yout time will come!
He believes that the field
of sales, as a career, is
unlimited for alert, bright
young men; but no place for
drifters or fly-by-nighters.
The rewards are bountiful,
but this is a goal one has to
earn.
Mr. & Mrs. Lovelle
reside in Piolot Mountain
with their youngest daugh
ter. They have two other
daughters. One in Atlanta,
Georgia, and one in
Washington, D.C. There
one son is in the navy.
The Lovelle family is
acive in church and
community affairs in Pilot
Mountain. He is also active
in the N.A.A.C.P. (past
President of the local
chapter).
