ANDERSON, . The Rev. H.D. Saunders, presiding elder of the Southern District, Indiana AME Conference presided at the recent Quarterly Conference held here in Allen Chapel AME Church. Among others speakers included John Mills and the Rev. Mrs. Madelyn Irwin. The Rev. W. Sampson Nelson was the host pastor and Mrs. Dorothy Tyler, church secretary. Mr. and Mrs. John H.

Miss Campbell is a graduate of Anderson High School and is employed by the Rabbek Nursing Home. Mr. Bannister is employed at Noblesville by the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. The wedding will be held Sept. 14 in Allen Chapel Church. A reception honoring the couple will be held at Linder*s on the Point. The city council ordinance resulting in the rezoning of 22 lots between 22nd and 24th and Fountain St. and Marlowe would allow Allen Chapel Terrace Estates to build low-cost housing in the Jackson Park-Westvale area. However, on recent consideration of the ordinance the council stopped short of final passage. Council president, Kenneth Abrendt explained that it was normal procedure. Further, a rezoning petition is always considered by two separate meeting affording dissatisfied residents a chance for an appeal. Mr. Abrendt left no doiibtthat he is in favor of the ordinance, and the other eight councilmen concurred. The rezoning ordinance both of the first two readings by a vote of 8-0. Attorney Dick Peck presented rezoning petition before the council. He noted that only nine structures are standing on the five-acre tract, and only four families inhabit the land. David Snyder, member of an Indianapolis architects’ firm which designed the proposed housing project concluded that adequate sewer and utilities’ service is already available in the area. Other persons sponsoring pe. tition included, the Rev. W. Sampson pastor of Allen Church and president of the church’s non-profit corporation; John Cooper chairman of the Westv a 1 e Neighborhood Improvement and David Sheldon, executive director of the local redevelopment authority. The housing project will be constructed in two phases, the first to include five housing units are to be built between 23rd and 24th Sts., Mr. Snyder observed. No unit will include more than 12 families per acre, well within the legal limits prescribed by FHA. The structures will include one, two and three bedroom apartments with rentals scaled to meet needs of tenants. The FHA has agreed to help finance the project pending rezoning action of the city council and the city council has agreed to submit an official approval to the FHA enabling the sponsors of the project to begin construction despite the

holdup on official enactment of the rezoning ordinance. Mr. Snyder ventured that construction should begin in 90 days and the project hopefully should be completed in one year. Mr. Abrendt observed that the council will make every effort hear the final reading of the rezoning ordinance at its special session on Aug. 26.

Why does some hair break off when combing?

Your hair is precious and delicate.. .and none of us like to see it break off for any reason. Scientists tell us that excessive use of^iot combs and over-processing of hair with chemicals often are major causes of brittleness resulting in hair breakage. But hair that is naturally curly and tangles easily frequently breaks off in everyday combing. Notice how irritated your scalp becomes when you comb in contrast to the way your beautician does? Your professional beautician knows th?t curly hair mats and tangles so easily that it should be softened before combing. Otherwise, unnecessary irritation to the scalp and damage to the shaft and ends of the hair occurs. *: ch'eve this needed softening and a temporary relaxing effect that prevents breakage on all human hair (including wigs), most beauticians rely on Clairol' Hair-So-New" spray-on creme For combing ease and for beautifying your hair in many er ways, trained beauticians stock a complete family of fine iairol products for your specific needs. Visit your expert hairdresser, who cares about your hair care and your comfort. Whatever the nature of your hair problems, only your professional beautician knows the answer for sure.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Conclusion of a two-part series) Career opportunities for Black officers in the Navy can now honestly be described as “wide open”. One example is C aptain Samuel L. Gravely, Jr., the first Negro to command a ship of the line and the first black line officer promoted to the rank of Captain. Prior to his promotion, he commanded the USS TAUSSIG (DD-7461 in action off Viet Nam. Presently, two other Negro officers command destroyers: Commander G. E. Thomas of the USS BAU 4SELL (DD-845) and Commander H. B. Dowse of the USS UHLMAN (DD-687). Four black officers now serve on the staff of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. While 11 per cent of all Navy officers on active duty have attended postgraduate school for a Master’s or higher degree, the figure for Negro Officers is more than 14 per-

cent.

Eleven Negro pilots in the Navy have flown combat missions in Viet Nam and have won in excess of 40 air medals and 6 Navy Commendation Medals. The Navy has two other black officeks who have attained the rank of Captain: One is Chaplain Thomas D. Parham, who is asssistant for plans for the Navy’s Chief of Chaplains and Assistant for Human Relations to the Chief of Naval Personnel; the other is Doctor Paul Stewart Green, M.D., a Navy medical officer. A young black man, who is a recent college graduate or a senior at a college or university might recognize that an opportunity for him to become a Naval Officer does exist but asks the question, “So what if I can qualify for a commission in the Navy why would I want to become an officer in Navy.” The men who join or enlist in the service, regardless of their color or the branch of service they choose, do so for a variety of reasons. And the primary motivatingfactor today does not seem to be for reasons of patriotism, love of apple pie, baseball or flag, even though they might be good reasons, but rather because of the impetus of the Draft. And the Draft is real, very real, no /matter how one may feel a|x)ut

its injustices, et al. Currently, there are very few deferments being given for graduate school (medical school being the exception) or for occupations. This limits the alternatives available for a healthy male who is a recent graduate, or is about to graduate, in the scheduling of his future plans. He might find a job or profession and work until he is drafted. He might feel so strong in his convictions that a particular war or wars in general are unjust and immoral and might seek refuge in a foreign country, or face prosecution and a possible prison term. He may, instead, choose one of the more favorable alternatives and join one of the armed services as an enlisted man or officer. If he will be a college graduate at the time, and chooses to go in the service as an enlisted man, he stands a very good chance of not being able to utilize his educational experience and abilities attributed to his having earned a degree. Now the question of why seek a Naval commission seems to have more meaning, especially if the man is a member of a minority group. An officer in the Navy has a three year active

duty service obligation after finishing 18 weeks of Officer Candidate School (OCS). And during those three years he can expect to share more responsibility and have more leadership experience than almost any junior executive in industry. He will be in a position where he makes decisions concerning the safety and welfare of amul-ti-million dollar ship and possibly thousands of men. He might be a Division Officer of from ten to sixty men whereby he would not only direct their work activities, but would counsel them in matters of finances legal and family problems. Because of the high degree of sophistication of modern ships, weapons, computers and other machinery used by the Navy, he would constantly be trained and educated. In addition to the above mentioned advantages, there are the benefits of travel, adventure, social activities, medical and dental care, and perhaps more importantly, pride and accomplishment in what one is doing, and respect. After the black man completes his obligated service and returns to the community, he does so no longer as a potential leader, but as a proven leader

of men.
