Human Relation News FAYKTTFVILLE - Subst md ard housing was the main issue of discussion at the Wednesday meeting of the Community Af fairs Subcommittee of the Hu man Fceiations Advisory Com mission. The topic grew out of many complaints brought to the attention of the Subcom mittee by Community Develop ers of Neighborhood Services. The Committee, as the Housing Committee at an earlier meet ing, was confronted with the hard realities of the situation: conditions which have been in the making for 100 years can not be resolved in one week. The Committee came to grips with the personal, social and financial realities of the situa tion. These are: l)Families who have lived in a given house from 10 to 20 years do not want to move although the house “is about to fall in on them;’* 2) Many families are paying from $5.00 to SIO.OO per week rent and cannot afford accom modations at higher prices; 3) Many houses that are sub standard are being rented and re-rented because they are in “better” condition than the houses from which these people moved; and 4) There would be something grossly inhuman about evicting a family from a dwelling with no place to go merely to enforce “the letter of the law” in the housing code. On the other hand, the Mini mum Housing Inspector’s of fice has completed examination of over 200 houses which need to be 'torn down, hut contrac tors quote from $250 to S3OO per house for their demolition.

Name Address Phone City Zip Name of Organization Your Title Limited to Fayetteville, Fort Bragg, Spring Lake and Cumberland County cumstances. There Is a close relation ship between the conditions under which people live and their behavior in society. Each citizen in Fayetteville is a part of the beauty and the blight, the cooperation and the con tention, the approach and the apathy that make up the city in which we live. Improved living conditions will con stitute a gain step toward the reduction of frustration among the disavantaged. Another discussion session is planned this week with the Redevelopment Director and the Minimum Housing Inspectors office on methods by which the entire community--and especially the churches and business sector--can join in the resolution of the acute hous*- ing problem. The new housing that is planned will only be one step on a long hard journey toward decent housing. Under the rent-supplement program, houses can be built for the low income group members and the developers can realize his usual margin of profit. Non-profit organiza tions under the housing act 221 (D) (3) can receive 1009 c fin ancing for low income hous ing. Business and private pro perty owners can do a great deal toward the removal of delapidated and partially burn ed structures that have become a haven for rats. They can do this, not because they are made to by law, but because it is the human thing to do. The face of the City can be changed from areas of blight to areas of beauty if each citizen becomes cooperative in doing his part. The Community Affairs Sub-Committee is seek ing ways and means to promote this kind of cooperation and compliance. FSC’s Aim Outlined In House Bill A bill defining t’-e purpose of Fayetteville State College was introduced in the House last Wednesday upon the recommen dation of the State Board of Higher Education. Rep. Clarence Leatherman (D-Lincoln) said his bill Im plements a recommendation made by the board in its long range planning study.

Former Fayetteville Residents Observe 3 7th A n niversary In N Y mJ BY PETE HOLDEN BRONX, New York - Two former Fayetteville residents celebrated a gala thirty seventh wedding anniversary here, in the swank luxury a partment of their neice (who is also a former North Carolinian) on January 25th. Principals of the affair are well known Robert H, and Mrs. Hazel Beaty (she’s the former Hazel Clark of Aberdeen, N. C.) who for many years lived In Fayetteville, N. C. The Beatys now live in Warrick, New Y’ork where Mr. Beaty is Director of the Warrick State Training School for boys. The anniversary was staged In the 17th floor luxury apart ment of Mr. and Mrs. James Jones (she’s the former Jea nette Whitaker of Aberdeen) located In Concourse Milage, a cooperative Bronx middle in come complex. Activities Os Fayetteville's VISTA GREENSBORO SESSION TURNS ON V’s On the weekend of Feb. 7-9 the VISTA component, plus Mrs. McMillan of chllddevelop ment, participated lnaprogram of intensive in-service training in Greensboro, covering areas of housing, welfare rights, com munity organization with em phasis on white communities, and a quicky course in PERT (a system of project planning). The VISTA’s were put up in the O’Henry Hotel with rooms overlooking the beautiful O’- Henry Hotel parking lot. The only objection to the accommo dations was that it was not un derstood why the mamagernent took seriously the fact they are poverty workers. Anyway, they now have the best organized cockroaches in the state. VISTA’s tend to be something less than subtle when turned loose on a community for short periods of time. By now the en tire patronage of the S&W caf eteria are familiar with all phases of poverty work and each inter - personnel controversy that has arisen in the last three months. Possibly the highlight of the program was the presentation of PERT diagrams. They included many original ideas, such as Doug’s one week formation of a 5,000 member housing organization, Steve’s how to involve the poor in politics without doing CO plan, Bruce's plan to get street lights timely, thoughtfully provoca tive, and in-depth coverage of Fayetteville news for and about you and your friends. Interested persons please contact club secretary, Mrs. Helen Thomp son (or other members) for information. RECEIVES FSC GRANT - Sherman E.

The guests were served a full dinner, polished off with home made cakes and pies. After they had sharpened their appetites, this guests danced and got a big thrill out of just viewing Manhat tan’s lighted (Pest Card ver sion) mid-town skyline, which could be easily seen from the Jones’ terrace.

Fred had a good idea, we think, we just couldn’t quite see what. The program was very en lightening and gave us ill a greater insight into the tre mendous task that remains to be done to eradicate poverty. We all came back, anyway. V’s GET LEGAL ADVICE FROM DURHAM Steve went with several other V’s to Durham to meet I.arry James. He reports back die following: During our session with Lar ry James In Durham, we dis covered certain legal facts, along with some valuable ad vice. Among the legal facts re lated to us by Mr. Janies are; To get a housing inspector to inspect a house, five per sons must participate In con tacting the instpector. If a family is on public as sistance the maximum amount that can be paid for rent is S6O per month. One is able to discover the amount paid for the purchase of a house by a stamp, or stamps, which is on the deed of purchase of that house. The deed can be found at the registrar of deeds.

Matz, a Catholic clergyman, left his civilian parish of Madonna dal Sasso in Salinas, Calif, ir, May 1967 to rejoin the active Army and to be with the troops in Vietnam. “In peacetime the job of priest is about the same in the Army as in civilian life,” says Chaplain Matz, “ but in war time I’d rather be with the troops.” There is a special rea- CHA PLAIN MATZ son for this too. Father Matz was m the Army as an enlisted man 10 vears before becoming a the program. * * * EULOGY There is great sorrow and gnashing of teeth among the VISTA’s as one of our close associates bit the dust last week. Dear Hominy, the canine compatriot of one Lucy Hooper, has disappeared. Hominy was residing with a family In Cumberland Mills a waiiing transfer to the tome of John and Bob in Cedar Creek. While procedural matters were being discussed (actually Bob didn’t want anything to do with the dumb mutt), Hominy decided to cast his fate to the wind and take to the woods. He was last seen under attack by squirrels. Though we hate to be pes simistic about Hominy’s abili ties alone in this dog-eat dog world, we hereby did fare well to one whom we knew only too well V’S NS CONTINUE TRAINING botn tne ViblA aim tue Neighborhood Services com ponent are working on train ing programs.

He made tne com bat jump in Holland and later served in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, After the war he served with various units including the 82nd. In 1951 Father Matz went to Officer Candidate School and later served as a 2nd Lieuten ant in the llih Airborne Division. It was here that Father Matz decided to become a priest. As he tells it, “An Army chaplain I knew told me once that he thought I was making a vocation of the Army and that he felt I might have a voca tion as a priest. I thought about it and decided the chaplain was right.” He left the active Army and went to Mount Angel Seminary in St. Benedicts, Ore., where he received his bachelor’s de gree in philosophy and corn shown through. Saturday saw the hoops of Legipn Rd. school glowing red hot from the sizzling shoot ing of “Pepper Peek,” “Cur sen Curry” vs. “Masher My er,” “Mappen Newman.” The games had many high points, Napper was dribble’s all over the court--but we let him play anyway. The team of Curry and Peek, or Peek and Curry, Depending on where your heart lies, swamped the opposition after an almost insurmountable deflicit to win by 6 points. 100-94. This was the premier for !9~ 69 B-Ball season. This pro mises to be as slow passed and a unprofessional as foot ball season proved to be. Undauntlessly, we of the “athletic” world are challeng ing all comers.

Arrangements will be made with those teams interested in a good laugh. RAMSEY ON THE MOVE The last week found the VISTA supervisor shiftless and footlose. The cramping con fines of his trailer had be come too intolerable. Rounding up a number of nls volunteers, Ramsey decided to head for greener pastures. In the true spirit of community action, the group pitched in and loaded Ramsey’s possessions for the trek ahead. After arriving at the new location, the group, exhausted but game, again applied their muscles to the moving-in process. The whole job required several trips. The movers were ready for a rest when it was all over and Ramsey, being the perfect host, pro vided the refreshment. For those who may be un familiar with the new loca tion, detailed directions fol low; He moved across the street.

When the United States jbe came involved in the Vietnam fighting, Father Matz asked his bishop if he could join the Ar my as a chaplain. He was granted permission after wait ing three years. Father Matz was assigned to tne same unit in Vietnam that he served with in World War 11, now desig nated the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry, 101st Airborne Divi sion. But this time he was a chaplain.
