Mrs. Willie Mae Staples Named Field Clerical
Supervisor for North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co.
When the opening for a Field j
Clerical Supervisor for N. C.
Mutual became available the
name of Mrs. Willie Mae Staples
loomed large immediately, be
cause of her qualifications. Mrs.
Staples has for a long time been
regarded as one of the most
efficient cashiers in the com
pany's system; she is loyal and
dedicated.
Mrs. Staples joined North Car
olina Mutual in July 1951. She
is a native of Guilford College
and a graduate of Dudley High
School at Greensboro, N. C. Fol
lowing high school she studied
at the Cortez Peters Business
College in Washington, D. C.
and later attended Howard Uni
versity. She was married to the
late William Staples of Greens
boro and has one son.
When she attended the com
pany's 1960 school for Field
Clerical Personnel it was stated
that, "she brought her note
book full of questions and car
ried it back full of information."
Mrs. Staples has certainly ap
plied well the knowledge she
has gained throgh training
and experience. We consider her
a valuable addition to our Field
Clerical Staff and wish for Mrs.
Staples continued growth and
success.
NEW AFRICA GIRDS
FOR CONTINUFD EFFORT
DETROIT In an executive
order declaring a State of Emer
gency "in those territories (in 1
the U.S.) where the Republic
is presently operative," Brother
Gaidi (Attorney Milton R. Hen- 1
ry), First Vice President and
chief executive officer for the
Republic of New Africa in
America, Thursday named four
new regional vice presidents. ;
He said he acted to meet "the
possibility of certain future de
velopments interfering with the
expeditious conduct of the af
fairs of Government."
The Executive Order followed
by five days a savage attack
by Detroit police upon New
African officials and citizens at
tending a mass meeting Sat
urday, March 29, at New Bethel
Baptist Church. The meeting
was a public highlight of the
second national convention of
New Africa's congress, the Na
tional Council of Representa
tives. The convention was being I
held on the first anniversary of
the founding of this "nation in
captivity" which seeks to lib
erate five states of the South
(Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
Georeia, and South Car
olina), making an independent
naton, and winning a reparations
settlement from the U. S. of no
less than 200 billion dollars.
Tn the unprovoked police at
tack, which miraculously re
sulted in no deaths to New Afri
cans or their guests, although
several were shot and many in
ured. including the wife of
Minister of Culture Baba Oser
ieman Adefunmi, who had her
ankle broken, more than 800
rounds were fired by police ?
without warning ? through the
elsss-doored front of the church
and inside during a wild ram
page.

Teaching of Nonregional
American English
The teaching of a nonregional
American English dialect to the
disadvantaged child offers the
promise of integration at the
national level, according to Dr.
Joey L. Dillard, visiting lectur
er in the language and behavior
programs of Yeshiva Univer
sity's Ferkauf Graduate School
of Humanities and Social
Sciences.
Writing in the spring issue of
Florida Foreign Language Re
porter, devoted to as anthology
of articles on the educational
problems of the disadvantaged,
Dr. Dillard says, "Clearly, the
Negro does not have all the
image problems that are often
attributed to him ? at least in
language. And even more clear
ly, he does not aspire to sound
like 'Mr. Charlie'."
According to Dr. Dillard, for
mer director of the Urban Lan
guage Study in Washington, D.
C, the Consensus Standard dia
lect of American English would
be most useful for the teaching
of the disadvantaged. "The dia
lect," he said, "is unmarked by
regional characteristics. One
might call it a Huntley-Brink
ley dialect, a dialect aspiring
announcers would seek to emu
late."
Dr. Dillard cited a recent study
by McGill University's Profes
sors Lambert and Tucker of
Tougaloo College freshman, in
which students at the Mississippi
Negro school had an overwhelm
ing preference for the Consensus
Standard dialect.
Educated Southern white
speech received th lowest rat
ing, even lower than uneducat
ed Negro speech.
"The only forseeable difficul
ty," Dr. Dillard said, "in teach
ing the Consensus Standard is
that "teachers who have not mas
tered the dialect may not be in
adequate supply. There are, how
ever, other strategies, especially
involving the use of recorded
models of the type which might
be found to be acceptable for
imitation by the disadvantaged
population."
While Dr. DiUard calls for
the use of the Consensus Stand
ard dialect, he has expressed
the view, still held, that the dis
advantaged child should have
the option of learning to read
in either "black' or "standard"
English.
A native of Dallas, Texas, he
was Fulbright nrofessor during
1967-68 at Universite' Officielle
de Bujumbra, Burundi. He
served for five years as associate
professor with the University of
Puerto Rico and research asso
ciate with the Institute of Carib
bean Studies.
