WlLLIAMSTON WHISTLINGS
BY JOYCE GRAY
WILLIAMSTON—Revival services
Will begin at Alligator Chapel Baptist
Church, Columbia, on Monday, Aug.
7. Services will be held nightly, accor
ding to Pastor John Chance, Jr. of
Williams ton, and he will get to enjoy
the message from a visiting minister.
The general public is invited to par
take in the spoken word.
On Monday, July 3, Ms. Minnie A.
Bell and daughter, Ms. Grace Bell
Herring, traveled to Kinston for a day
of shopping. They stopped in Green
ville on their return to Williamston
for lunch at Ryan’s Steak House.
They had a wonderful time together.
The Nichols family’s fourth annual
reunion will be held Sept. 2, starting
at 3 p.m. at the Sierra Lounge,
Lewiston, located on Hwy. ll.
Speakers will be Ms. Naomi Bond,
Peter Bond, Jr., Ms. Rosa Lean Mur
phy and Ms. Marie Walton and have
been busy for the past few weeks noti
fying relatives of the price involved
and the site.
This year promises to be well at
tended as those who were present in
Jamesville were informed of the city
and date and instructed to pass the
word to those absent.
At least five generations will be
together in Lewiston with the eldest
being 86 years old, Ms. Zenner Yar
rell Nichols Midgett, daughter of the
late Joe Yarrell and the mother of six
children by the late Benjamin
Nichols.
Nieces and nephews of the late Ben
jamin Nichols are also expected to
participate again this year, coming
from Philadelphia, New York and
Connecticut.
Even though the names Nichols and
Yarrell do not seem to appear
numerous locally anymore, they are
closely related to the Lyons, Hassell,
Dempsey, Perry, Fagan, Bunch,
Knight and Hill families, and
originated in the Williams Communi
ty’s Island section.
Winners of the Community
Outreach Club prizes on July 8 were
Herman L. Corey, a ham; Ms. Annie
Harris, $10; and seller of the hairdo
was Ms. Musilett Respass.
Busy with raffles in Martin County
are Joseph Nichols, Booker T. Lloyd,
Ms. Gladys Joy Duggins, trying to
help the First Congressional District
Black Leadership Caucus’ once-a
year fundraising event become more
successful than ever before.
Other counties in the 21-county
makeup seem to have overshadowed
Martin County in salesmanship for
five years. However, Martin County
has had two winners within those
years. Please give your support to
those volunteers in their efforts.
Drawing will be held on Oct. 7 at H. J.
McDonald Middle School, Elizabeth
Avenue, New Bern, during the time
that the annual banquet is held.
James Sear, Gates County, and
former caucus chairman, is now
chairman of the raffle, replacing
Herbert Dawson, Craven County con
tact person.
Someone recently stated to me that
the word “thank you” appears to
have gotten lost, gone to sleep or
taken a vacation somewhere,
sometime, somehow. So what’s hap
pened to good manners? Does one
remember to say “I most certainly
appreciate your service, your kind
ness; you were very thoughtful; I
sincerely thank you for the deed”?
Sometimes when a telephone call is
not possible, a thank-you card or a
personal note can be used. I
remember at the time of the conver
sation stating to the individual that
“good manners” never hurts anyone,
in fact I personally think it helps.
That person had been approached by
a third person Inquiring if a thank
you card or note had been received
yet for a gift given someone in the
neighborhood, to which everyone ap
proached could only give a "No” to
the question.
Seniors in high schools fall to send a
thank-you but do remember to send
the graduation invitation. Couples
engaged to marry either mail or get
the wedding invitations to the Invitee
personally delivered, but there is not
enough money or time for a thank
you.
’ When sickness occurs, the ill per
son wants help. Often that news
travels slower than any other. If con
fined to a hospital bed with nurses
and assistants available, visitors are
i on the scene. Then, when that person
is discharged, a telephone call is
received with the statement made,
“Call me if you need me.”
. Usually, when death occurs, a local
newspaper thank-you is done, so if
one misses that issue of the
Dr. Benjamin L. Hooks last month in
his request to aid the organizer of the
Youth Council (NAACP), Ms. Juanita
Mitchell.
A very nice thank-you letter has
already been received by the advisor
from Dr. Hooks for that contribution,
announcing also a successful
response from other fellow
NAACPers across the United States.
On the sick and shut-in list: Ms.
Mary W. Davis, Ms. Roxie West, Ms.
Daisy H. Biggs, Joe Biggs, Ms. Court
ney Johnson, Ms. Bessie Butts, Ms.
Esther Roberts, Ms. Armaza C.
Roberson, Alton C. Roberts,
Nathaniel Boston, Nathaniel Har
dison, Willie C. Bunch, Sr., Ms. Mat
tie H. Perry, Ms. Aria L. Moore, Ms.
Gracie P. Smithwick. Ms. Mallie D.
Manning suffered a broken arm dur
ing a fall. Andrew Roberson is still
awaiting foot surgery. Recuperating
and taking rehabilitation are
Franklin G. Scott, Ms. Minnie Bell
Mizelle. Up and about again is Hubert
Wooden. Feeling much release since
minor surgery is Ms. Lucy P. Brown.
Ms. Betty S. Lanier called forher
daughter to come and look after her
and she came immediately.
Expressions of sympathy are ex
tended to the family of Ms. Moriah
Walston, age 102, whose funeral was
held on Saturday, July 15. Death
came in Norfolk, Va.
Services were conducted in Mt.
Shiloh Baptist Church by the Rev.
Issiah Perkins. Burial was in Smith
Memorial Gardens with Smith Com
munity Funeral Home in charge of
the final remains.
It was nice to see and chat with Ms.
Vivian L. Scott on Friday. She was at
home on Hyman Street, looking well
and stating that her husband Frank
had talked someone into bringing him
to Williamston in order to see and be
in his own house at 70S once more
even though he could not stay due to
health problems.
Accompanying Ms. Scott was
Florence, their granddaughter, who
had added much height since being
away from town.
Ms. Scott was unable to care for
herself and sick husband thereby
went to be with their daughter and be
hospitalized. Ask that lady about
faith in God Almighty and His bless
ings and she can sing praises if you
only listen.
We had a short conversation with
Ms. Gladys Jones Hubbard while she
was in town on business last weekend.
Ms. Hubbard and her family live in
New York City at the present time.
Arthur and Thelma Golden, St.
Albans, N.Y. couple who spend a lot
of time doing charity work, took out
enough time to send out a thank-you
to those who donated to the state YM
CA Camp Scholarship for Erica
Johnson and Charlene Davis, two
youths who might not have gone to
any camp for the summer.
MANAGEMENT
(Continued from page 4)
was correct, the record did not show that during this same time Paul’s wife
was undergoing cancer treatments. The late payments were a direct result of
the extreme financial and personal stress that he suffered at that particular
time. At the recommendation of his financial adviser, Paul submitted a letter
to the credit bureau explaining the circumstances behind this un
characteristic period of late payments. Paul also asked the credit bureau to
send this information to any creditors who had denied his applications in the
past six months. Two months later, Paul received a credit card that had been
denied earlier in the year. Note that Paul’s record still shows the period of
late payments, but his explanation is now a part of his official record.
How long can a negative statement be kept on your record? If the state
ment relates to bankruptcy proceedings, it may stay on file for as long as 10
years. Most other records—including those related to criminal convictions,
accounts referred to a collection agency, and civil suits—are usually held no
longer than seven years.
NCAPA suggests that consumers write to the Federal Trade Commission
Correspondence Branch, Washington, D.C. 20580, for a copy of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act of 1971, which clearly explains their rights related to credit in
formation.
Remember, when it comes to credit reports, what you don’t know can
hurt you.

wide basis—getting the churches and the general com
munity involved in this type of effort.
And incidentally, that Queens effort grew from the
church which speaks well of one church getting involved in
a community effort.
Since the 1960s when streets were simmering from the
ashes of the riots, the media has become somewhat com
placent. Many have ceased to bring in and promote
African-Americans in huge numbers and simply because
they feel that there is no one closely watching their efforts
toward the African-American community, there is a
general feeling that they (the media) do not have the right
to tell our story in an adequate manner and in most cases to
tell our story at all.
Many of the headline-writers are white and for the most
part all of the important decisions in the media are made
by whites.
So it is no wonder that African-Americans are doomed
before they even get started. In many instances we are not
even given a chance.
