PEARL BAILEY RETURNS TO FILMS
WITH CO-STARRING ROLE
' Pearl Bailey returns to mo
tion pictures with a co-starring
role in "The Landlord." Mlfisch
Cartier II comedy which goes
into production June 2 In New
York with Norman Jewison
producing and Hal Ashby di
recting. Beau Bridges will play
the title-role in the story of a
white, rich and whlmsicol own
er of a tenement In a black

entertainment service of Trans
^ america Corporation.

Miss Bailey wUl portray Marge,
one of Bridges' tenants. She
will continue starring on

Long one of America's fa
vorite entertainers, Miss Bailey

an"), television, nightclubs and
i records. But her current en

'Pennies' from the Poor
Basis of New Project
At A&T
GREENSBORO. N. C. ? No
body has much respect for pen
nies anymore, but the organizer
of a new project at A&T State
University believes the copper
colored coins may be a key to
solving an important problem
in the ghetto.
The Consumer Education
Council, directed by B. W. Har
ris. is asking residents of low
income areas to "save at least
a penny a day."
"The idea is to get the peo
ple of the neighborhoods in
volved," said Harris. "When we
are strong enough, we want to
establish a credit union and
make loans available to low
income persons who cannot
qualify for some of the other
loans."
"If we can get 1,000 persons
to save one cent per day, we
can have something like $36,000
plus interest in a year's time,"
he added.
The Consumer Council, com
posed primarily of low-income
persons who pay a $1.00 mem
bership dues, Issues weekly tiny
slotted banks called "Penny
Savers."
As soon as the banks are
filled, the funds are deposited
in an account in a Greensboro
bank.
"There is a real need for this
program," stated Harris, who
is also chairman of the Depart
ment of Adult Education and
Community Service at A&T.
"Studies show that about 15
per cent of the families in Guil
ford County earn less than
$3,000 per year."
The Council also will conduct
demonstrations on buying
clothing and groceries and on
| obtaining credit. Many of the
demonstrations will be held in
community recreation center*
and in meeting rooms within
housing projects. Other sessions
will be held on the A&T cank
pus.
Harris feels these demonstra
tions will be a big service to
the Council members.
"Without having transporta
tion to go to the larger chain
stores, many persons in low in
come areas walk to neighbor
hood stores and are often
charged more for their grocer
ies," he said.
So far, the new project has
received favorable response In
the Greensboro area. Harris sees
the Consumer Council only as
a means to an end.
"We want to do something
for ourselves and keep the
money in the communities,** he
said. "We will be glad to work
ourselves out of a job."
Veterans released from active
duty after January 1955 must
complete GI Bill education by
May 31, 1974, or eight yqars
after discharge, whichever is
later.
