Felder, who delivered the eulogy for the late Dr. Charles (Rudy) Graves at I p.m., July 9. must have taken his motivation from the immortal words of Grenlland Rice. "It matters not whether you won or lost, but how well you played the game." Rudy, as called by those who knew him intimately, was born in Elizabeth City on August II. 190S and died in Pitt Memorial Hospital. July 6. His death was a shock, both to the business world and the sports world. He was recognized as one of the most successful dentists in the stale and enjoyed a lucrative practice in both races. He attended elementary and high school at Roanoke Insti tute in Elizabeth City, and Shaw University. Raleigh and received the DDS degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville. Tenn in 1932 After leaving college he taught in the public school systems of Union, Robenonville, and Washing ton. N. C. Upon graduation from dental school, he was influenced to come to Greenville to practice dentistry by the late Rev. J. A. Nimmo. Sr., a close friend of the family. He began practice district attorneys. Hunt was asked if a substantial number of his appointments would be black. "Out of my appoint ments. it will be a fair and reasonable number. Now.

The trek to Raleigh. will begin Thurs day, July 14. Golden Frinks, national prih gram director of the Southern Christian Leadership Confn*- ence, which will sponsor the march, said more than ITS persons ha.e signed commit ment sheets to take part in the 130-mile walk. The marchers will leave from the Pender County Courthouse, where the Wil mington Ten were convicted in 1972 of arson and firebombing charges, stemming, from ra cial viol^e in Wilmington. Expecting to average some 21.2 miles each day, the marchers will make ntofn in Wallace, Qinton, Fayetteville and Durham before arriving in Raleigh on Wednesday, July 20, for a scheduled rally, according to Frinks, a bus driver for the town of Chapel Hill. He was fired on June 1, for alleged violations and “failure to comply with departmental policy." Stroud is president of the Amalgamatod Tran sit Union, Local 1565 and many of the town's citizens expressed that his firing was connected with his union organizing activities. A city hearing to consider an' appeal from the firing was held on June 14 and a decision was made by the town's Personnel Appeals Committee. The union leader was reinstated with back pay and no loss of seniority. The Committee held that the evidence presented by management officials John Bartazowitzand Burt Gurganis wasn't strong enough for termination, but severe enough for penalty. "he penalty imposed was a 90-day probation. Stroud was represented in his June 14 hearing by Diana Margaret. a former Chapel Hill bus driver and fellow union member. The two argued that Stroud was being singled out and unfairly harassed by maiiagement for his union activities. They argued that the alleged violations were linked with an upsurge of union activities before Stroud was accused and fired. (CCNS).
