MRS. REVA G. WARD Mrs. Reva G. Ward, spotlighted this week, once worked for The Recorder. And today, she maintains a hectic pace of community involvement that’s most challenging. Yet, this is understandable since she lists as the main element in her life “being dedicated to charity work."

For over 50 years, she has also been a member of University United Methodist Church having served as church clerk, steward, class leader, choir member, Mission No. 1 and 6 member, Willing Workers member. Task Force vice-president, secretary and assistant secretary. As if this isn’t enough, our personality has served as Methodist Women secretary and has been elected treasurer for 1978. Her early childhood dates back to Evansville where she was born to Mr. and Mrs. David C. Gordon. After high school graduation, Mrs. Ward took up residence with her family in Chicago where she graduated from Chicago Business College. “I worked at the Victory Life Insurance and joined St. Mark Methodist Church,” she vividly recalls. Upon arriving in Indianapolis Mrs. Ward wasted no time in busying herself again. Today, she’s active with the Women Christian Temperance Union as vice-president. Silver Thread Club recording secreatry, Gaillard American Legion Auxiliary of which she has been publicity chairman and president, Northwest Senior Citizens serving as coordinate r, American Woodmen, Udell Area Block Club and Citizens Forum. In between this amazing lady has managed to teach at Lewis Business Colleire and Burgers Business College, part-time at Kirk’s Funeral Home, Gibraltor Life Insurance Co. and of course The Reocorder.

Battered parent syndrome?

Althourh much has been written about the “battered child syndrome”, the "battered parent syndrome” is seldom discussed, writes Robert Howard, MD in “Postgraduate Medicine.” Parent battering techniques very with age. In infancy, a child may hold his breath, in childhood he may cry and pout, and in adolescence he may mess up his room and monopolize the bathroom. The evocation guilt can also be a form of battering, according to Dr. Howard. In an introspective search for

self identity parents are blamed for genetic makeup and early environment. Parents either did not provide adequate expressions of affection or smothered their children with love. They were too remote or overly chummy. Dr. Howard tells physician readers: “If you are confronted in the emergency room by a middle-aged person with a bruised ago, fractured psyche, or flattened pocketbook, ooz ing guilt from every orifice, be on your toes. You may be dealing with a battered parent.

Admitting you're wrong and apologizing are often the hardest things for any of us to do. Myself included. In 1876, America celebrated its Bicentennial, and Major League Baseball developed a giant program to highlight the game's most important events. But Jackie Robinson wasn't included in the party. His heroic accomplishment of integrating modern day baseball was not listed among the historic outstanding feats. And I made my anger and outrage known to the Commissioner of Baseball, and other leaders. That was last year. Recently, I wrote another letter to the Commissioner. A note of apology. This year, baseball did honor Jackie.Robinson. The 1977 Major League All-Star Game was dedicated to him. As was the entire week. And Jackie's lovely wife, Rachel, had the honor of tnrowmg oi/t the first ball. It was an exciting thrill to attend the kick-off luncheon where “Powers of Baseball'' and plavers of yesteryear and today gathered to pay tribute to a man who made such a tremendous impact upon baseball and thousands of Black youths. I'll never forget “Pee Wee" Reese, Don Newccmbe. Roy Campanella, and Willie Mays honoring and praising Jackie Robinson by statinn that Jackie did a lot for them; or Cincinnati Fu ds Superstar, Joe Morgan, epitomizing the current ball plav ers when ho said; “Jackie had to be a strong and courageous man because it required more than athletic ability to overcome the many obstacles that blocked his road to suc'resV' The dollars that we ball players are contributing to the Jackie Robinson Foundation for minority and under privileged children will never really express our gratitude to Jackie. Join Newk. Campy, Willie, and others by sending your dollar to the Jackie Robinson Foundation Box 42J Brooklyn. N.Y. 11202 Vice President The Greyhound Corporation
