Black History program
set at Mauney Library
Thursday, February 1 at 7 p.m.
at Mauney Memorial Library,
Paula Lark strums on her banjo and
launches into a story and a song :
and dance.
Punctuated with the beat of a
conga drum, she recreates the folk-
lore and music of the African
American culture, and transports
her audience beyond the ordinary
into the realms of joyful probabili-
ty. She samples Caribbean and
African music, and moves on to
white mountain gospel, rap, jazz
and pop. She interacts with the au-
dience and creates a setting in
which everyone is drawn outside
himself to experience the joy of
life no matter what, and to relocate
the child within.
Born and raised in Alabama,
Paula Lark has performed all over
the United States. She was the
artist in residence at Cleveland
Community College several years
ago, and still maintains a residence
in Shelby.
Although Paula is a black artist,
her message is universal and will
appeal to every race and ethnic
group. Her emphasis on joy, hope
and love transport us away from
the everyday drudgery and issues
that do not really matter, and. to-
wards the things in life that are re-

ally important. She explores human:
attitudes and reactions to an abun-|
dance of love and wisdom through
audience involvement, and issues a
call to common sense and decency
in human relations. She quotes
from a variety of writers, songwrit-
ers, and poets, including Ralph
Ellison, Maya Angelue, Frederic
Douglas, her own relatives, little
children and teenagers.
Paula will begin our celebration
of Black History Month. Her. per-
formance will begin a month-long
emphasis on black history and cul-
ture and current issues. Books and
materials relating to African
American life will be highlighted
throughout the month. There will
be programs for school children
during the day, and a program for
the general public at 7 p.m.
Refreshments will be served at
the evening program:

Peanut and
~ Jelly Sandwiches
Years ago, when a coal miner went down into the
depths of dark tunnels and shafts, he took with him two
things—a lunch pail and a carbide lamp.
Atthe end of a shift when he got home, the miner put
away his lamp and opened up his lunch bucket. From it
he would remove two uneaten peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches. Each day he would eat whatever was
packed in his lunch, but would not touch the two peanut
butter -i-:d jelly sandwiches as long as'he was down in
the mines. : :
More so in the old days than today, there was always
the threat of a disaster occurring. For this reason, he
saved the two sandwiches. It meant hope of survival,
something to eat, should he ever become trapped. The
miner knew well he must always save something in
reserve.
There are two things we must count on. Prayer—It is
the peanut butter that satisfies our hunger in time of
need and the jelly that sweetens our life. Secondly,
worshiping in God's house. It's a spiritual lamp.
Pray daily and attend services frequently. Sandwich
them together. They are the mainstays of religious
+ sustenance.
