FRANKLINTON - The Well
Wishers Club held its summer
cookout Monday, September I
at the Pine View Country Club,
Wake Forest, Mr. and Mrs.
Burnett. Tabrori are owners.
This club was organized about
four years ago. This is not a
church-related club as such,
but all members are Chris
tians and faithful workers in
their respective churches.
They have visited churches
in the rural communities of
Franklin and Granville Coun
ties and given sizeable dona
tions. They cheer the sick with
their presence and cards. When
death has entered a home and
taken a loved one away, this
club cooks and takes a full
course dinner, ready to be serv
ed, to the family. They have
made several visits to the Zol
lieville Rest Home, Louis
burg, taking gifts to all inmates
and singing songs of praise
which stir-up that sacred flame
within their souls. Truly, they
are not only Well-Wishers as
the name implies, but angels
of mercy.
The members are Mrs. Ma
ble P. Wilder, president; Mrs.
Emma L. Tabrori, vice-pres
ident; Mrs. Edna A. Williams,
secretary; Mrs, Ruby M. Thom
as, assistant secretary; Mrs.
Elizabeth Edgerton, treasur
er; Mrs. Marthanna Winston,
Mrs. Bessie Kearney, Mrs. Ma
ry Hawkins, Mrs. Janice Per
ry, Mrs. Bessie M. Tay and
Mrs. Lucille Webb.
The menu for the cook-out
was chicken, barbecue, fried
and baked wieners, ham, po
tato chips, pickles, dills, wa
ter mellon. beets, small cu
cumbers, salad potato, car
rots, cake, and drinks.

At Rocky Mount
Over3oo Learn Os OIC Progress
ROCKY MOUNT - More than
300 Rocky Mount area citizens
gathered in the old BTW high
auditorium Sunday afternoon to
learn first - Land of the amazing
success of the Opportunities In
dustrialization Center, Inc,, a
self-help employment training
program which began in Phila
delphia, Penna., and now has
units in 49 states and Ehiopia
and soon to open ir. Hawaii.
The idea to set up training
for minority-group citizens de
prived of adequate education
and job-training to upgrade
themselves in the basic skills
originated in the fertile brain
of the Rev. Leon Howard Sul
livan, Baptist minister of North
Broad Street’s Zion Baptist
Church, where his Sunday at
tendance often exceeds his
membership.
Some 400 Negro clergymen
cooperated with Dr. Sullivan
in getting the ear of the White,
as well as the Negro, communi
ty through an economic squeeze
on businesses which refused to
give sufficient numbers of jobs
to blacks. The response was
more than pleasing to all con
cerned. Result: this nationwide
-now international-network of
OIC training centers, which
have been highly successful in
training dropouts.
Here to give a public ex
planation of the OIC were two
officials of the parent organiza
tion: Oliver- B. Chiles asst,
director, and N. Ajilo Ibeh,
a native of Biafra. who is a
fiscal project officer of na
tional OIC. Also, with them as
an observer of American Ne
gro-White relationships was
Dr. Kidane M„ and Ethiopian,
attached to United Nations Eco
nomic Commission for Africa.
The latter is studying Ameri
can customs and interracial
reactions as compared with his
native land where Dr. Sullivan's
self-help programs are now be
ing nut into operation. The trio
lannded the Rocky Mount ef
fort as showing much promise
and consulted with the board
of directors concerning pro
cedure after the meeting.
Chiles warned that "tnter
gration without prepa rat ion
brings only frustration. . as
he stressed the role that minis
ters have - can continue to play
-in promotion of the Opportuni
ties (accent on the plural) In
dustrialization Center training
program. OIC does not screen
people ‘out,’ but screen them
'in’ where jobs are concerned.
"We involve the businesses to
be served and leadership must
come from the people served.”
