South Haven
Raffle Slated
December 1 2
The raffle of an Elgin wrist
watch, radio, and cash by the
2 South Haven community council
.s under way . A $1 donation for
a chance to win one of the prizes
will go a long way towards pro-
viding funds for scholarships, fi-
nancial support for the South
Haven Day Care Center, and the
Teen Town program.
The drawing for the raffle will
be Saturday, December 12, 9p.
m., at the South Haven Commu-
nity Center. A person need not
be present to win. The citizens
of South Haven are concerned
and interested in improving their
lot. The citizens can not do very
much without outside moral and
financial support. Please help
them, to help themselves. One
dollar donation isn’t too much to
ask citizens to provide help for
the people of the South Haven
Community.
Speaking of scholarship, there
is a tremendous need for scho-
larships for worthy boys and
girls. In every community, there
are individuals who have demon-
strated that they have tremen-
dous educational potentials.
In South Haven, there is a
senior girl at Webster High
School, who has proven her abi-
lity and skills in mathematics.
The senior girl is a member of
a family of fifteen children, and
unless outside help is made a-
vailable to her, her chances to
improve her intehectural abili-
ties at the college level is zero.
The senior girl at Webster High
school ranks scholastically high.
The funds from the raffle will
be used to provide a scholarship
for Miss Margaret Radford, a
senior at W ebster High School,
the teenagers of the South Haven
Community an opportunity to pur-
chase some needed equipment,
and some of the other things need-
ed to make their program suc-
cessful.
You may contact any citizen
of the South Haven Community
for raffle tickets.

You don’t have to be wealthy

citizen participation project of
the Tulsa Economic Opportunity
Task Force, Inc., has an open-
ing for a receptionist-clerk ac-
cording to Jack Cromwell, per-
sonnel officer.
He said that the clerk must
perform numerous duties, in-
cluding handling the incoming
telephone calls, meeting all visi-
tors to the office, and perform-
zuri, depicts black dancing. It is
a comparison of the black man in
the ‘70s with the white man in
the ‘20s.
"During the depression,’
Brenda said, "the white man’s
position was similar to the black
man’s position in the ‘70s. It
is a reversal, a picture of the
black man then to now."
Another picture, a tall paint-
ing in oil and acrylic, is an ex-
pression of Brenda’s feelings
toward a black man. "His ex-
pressions, his love life, his reli-
gion, his tolerance-yet his an-
ger,” the young artist explained.
Enrolled in three art courses
this semester, Brenda is also
taking courses in political sci-
ence and said she has considered
entering law school. Talented
in other fields as well as art,
Brenda plays the violin and pia-
no and "loves to travel."
Talking about the ASU center,
Brenda said she feels such cen-
ters are needed throughout the
country. "Black students need
to ban together,” she said.
The Waszuri is open from 2
to 10 p.m. weekdays and from 2
p.m. to midnight Saturday and
Sunday. All paintings exhibited
during the Black Art Festival are
still on display at the cultural
center.
