Good story in last week’s Eagle about JULIA WRIGHT ...first Black
woman instructor in Water Safety in Tulsa and first CPR instructor-
trainer in eastern Oklahoma Wife, mother, grandmother and civic worker
... her great concern is about the apathy with which Tulsans accept the
short-change status of publicly funded program that could be meaningful
to North Tulsans....if they cared enough to monitor the sloppy half-
hearted status-quo. More about this later we hope .
A simple phone call to GERTIE B CRAWFORD... about three visitors
enroute to Tulsa from Pretoria, S. Africa.. .by way of Atlanta triggered a
nearly perfectly planned thirty-six hour visit. Beginning with a trip to
Gilcrease Museum ..the guests were introduced to twenty members of
Church Women United at dinner at Bordens in Southland Overnight
lodging was provided by MINIFRED KIBLER. RUTH SMOOTE. GERTIE
and FREDDIE BOONE prepared breakfast for the three and their
sponsors. They were especially invited to participate in a taping session
at ORU by PRES, and MRS ORAL ROBERTS ...and personally escorted
to the taping area After lunch at Wendys....they were taken back to the
campus to visit the Prayer Tower and the book store , then on to the
JACK CAMPBELL home for dinner
They were estatic....because of the warmth of their welcome.. .and
because they were able to see the Roberts University complex Gartie
drove them back to the airport, and.. .on Tuesday evening they began
the long journey back home. They were to spend a few more days with
the DON NEWBYS in Atlanta....

“I cry when I see the courage in a child’s face... the small closed look
that hides uncertain fear. Wondering and unaware of adult ways who
lets him in and out at will)...Beset by all the stressful adult
days....bravely pretending that he does not hear-disturbing con-
versations... vaguely understood; standing beyond the circle waiting quiet
with fear; waiting to know he’s warm and loved and good In all the
pain I’ve seen of human race....I cannot bear the courage in a child’s
face. When next a child to you looks blank and grim, remember what
is there....and touch his hand; don't ask for pretty manners in return;
just smile...and let him slowly learn that he's secure. ”

THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT OF
the Tulsa Job Corps Center pur-
chased 25 tickets so that the
students could attend the pageant.
The word “student government"
probably congers up in the minds
of many, the typical student council
functions of any high school student
organization In Job Corps, the
student government organizes and
maintains a “welfare fund", monies
which must be used to benefit the
corpsmembers and is controlled by
them The student government has
contributed to various <
functions in the Tulsa area in-
cluding the United Way, March of
Dimes, Shirner’s Circus, Native
American Coalition of Tulsa and the
Fraternal Order of Police. When the
opportunity arose to support the
Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation by
entering a student in the Miss
Black Galaxy Pageant, the student
government and staff were sup-
portive.
Miss Works, according to student
government advisor, Ms. Helen
Harris, is a typical student at the
Tulsa Job Corps Center, “We have
many beautiful and talented
Students". Uppermost in the minds
of the staff advisor, was less of the
"beauty" aspect and all the benefits
to the contestants, but (I) the
opportunity to relate the relevance
of health education to our students
and (2) to provide visible and
concrete citizen participation as a
part of our Democratic respon-
sibilities. That is, to give a little
back to the society which has
provided many benefits which
students may take for granted.

Karen is 20
daughter of Mr Woodley Works of
Tulsa and Ms Marcella Works of
Kansas City, Missouri She com-
pleted the 10th grade in high school
and has future plans of entering the
child care field. When she was
selected to represent the Tulsa Job
Corps Center in the pageant, her
first thought was “I wonder if I'll
place, I hope I can do it." Karen
has accomplished her goal, in that
she was able to attend all the
training sessions with the other
contestants and to be on stage with
all the contestants, doing, modem
dance.
