ITfte Old [ye Opener i BY BILL BOWSER FAYETTEVILLE - The city of Fayetteville is in for a show down. It Is currently in the planning stage of building two recreation centers, one In the Massey Hill area and the other in the Raleigh Road a rea. The city owns very lit tle In Negro communities. The two areas they are planning to build centers for are in pre dominantly white areas; areas that in recent years have been annexed to the city. A re cent check of parks owned and maintained by the city’s Rec reation and Parks Department, shows approximately 240 acres in predominantly white commu nities and less than 20 acres in Negro communities. A good many of the parks in Negro communities are not owned by the city. Operation Medicare Alert FAYETTEVILLE - The ap proval of Cumberland County as a site for “Operation Medi care Alert” and a grant of about $23,000 from the Office of Economic Opportunity for this project is expected to be announced within the next two weeks. This statement was made today jointly by the Cum berland Community Action Pro gram, Inc., and the Social Se curity Administration District Office in Fayetteville. The Officers of the local Community Action Program are S. T. Cherry, president, Rev. Lee A. Melvin, vice-president and J. W, Pate, secretary. Of fices for the program are lo cated in the Kyle House on Green Street. W. W. Thomas is the District Manager of the Social Security Office now lo cated in the new Federal Build ing in Fayetteville. “Operation Medicare Alert” is a joint program of the So cial Security Administration and the Office of Economic Opportunity and will involve primarily older persons who will work as neighborhood and community convassers and get in touch with persons aged 65 or older who are eligible for Medicare benefits but cannot be reached by other means. The Community Action Of fices anticipate that the staff will consist of a Project Di rector, a Deputy Director, a secretary, a recording clerk, three team captains and twen ty-seven part-time neighbor hood canvassers. This group will be made up of both paid and volunteer personnel, with most of the paid personnel com ing from those over 65 years of age with a low income. The program is expected to begin around Feb. 1 and end by April 30, 1966. All persons in the county who are interested in working in the program on eith er a paid or voluntary basis should contact the local office of the Employment Security Commission located at 148 Ro- * SHOP SAM’S AND SAVE i Outfit Your Entire Family From Head To Toe!

The city of Fay etteville even assists the Little Theater in Fayetteville, yet, it refused to support a Negro Youth Center. This center was proposed as a Neighborhood Youth Project. If the city had furnished the rent, lights, and telephone, the Anti-Poverty Program would have furnished the personnel’s salaries. The city appeared interested, but nothing ever came of it. Ne groes need an information cent er, a place to go to get inform ation about job opportunities. A place to get all kinds of information. A place to be tu tored for jobs. A place to get help with their problems in general. A place where Ne groes can feel free to discuss their problems and seek relief. The city of Fayetteville could have had all this for an out lay of about $250 per month. Free services had been arrang ed for, legal advice, counsell ing, for guidance, for job train ing, and other free services. The city can afford to spend SIOO,OOO for recreation cent ers, yet it re“ _es to spend $250. per month for a center that can mean training and jobs for Negroes. Recreation is alright, but Negroes have play ed too long. What they need now is to learn ski’ls, and get jobs. Large numbers of un employed Negroes are looking for jobs, and finding none. Some need to learn new skills, some need to change to other trades or professions, but all need jobs. The city is looking for new in dustries, but it needs to look for new ways of utilizing the labor and skills of it’s Negro citizens. We cannot do this simply by waiting for new in dustries. Effort should be made to train people for the many jobs\going unfilled. There are many jobs open now in the Fay etteville area, if only the peo ple were trained to fill them. Let’s make useful citizens out of our unemployed by train ing them and guiding them into new jobs. wan St. which will furnish fur ther information and application forms. Mr. Thomas Social Security- Manager, pointed out that this is one of several extensive ex isting programs being spon sored by the Social Security- Administration to inform all people potentially eligible of their rights to benefits under the Medicare program. People 65 or over need to take ac tion if they want all the pro tection by the Social Security Medicare two-part program, Health Insurance and Voluntary Medicare Insurance, which will help pay doctor bills and cer tain other medical expenses. Medical insurance will protect those people who were 65 or older before 1966 only if they sign up by March 31, 1966. Both parts of the Medicare program go Into effect on July 1, 1966.
