In mare ways than oneDreaming of a ‘green Christmas’

By MICHAEL W. GREENE Have you ever imagined being at a Christmas party and hearing someone (Maybe you!) heartily singing; “I'm dreaming of a GREEN Christmas, not like the one I had last year...” Don’t look now, but downtown and shopping center merchants aren’t saying much, yet their sly grins hint that they are secretly predicted a VERY GREEN Christmas. All this reflects on who else but you and me: the consumer. Maybe things have gotten a little out of hand. Don’t tell anyone I told you, but I think that Christmas just may have possibly become a little too commercialized. Don’t you agree? Just check it out! Year after year, during the Christmas season, family problems threaten to disrupt the holiday spirit. Want to take a stab at the underlaying cause of the problem? Money becomes the major

concern for lower income families, even more so than any other group, because lower income families are already having enough problems pulling ends together without having to have* the extra burden of Christmas. Thus, the race for that mean green is on! And the tempers flare. Men and woman alike, already complaining about long working hours and tired bodies, some how find the time and the energy to take on yet another job. For the poor man H's called survival and pride. You can’t condemn a man for having his pride. However, sometimes we may carry pride a bit too far. Maybe we should take some advise from philosopher poet Piet Hein who wrote; ‘The noble art of losing face may one day save the human race.” It may also save a few marriages. Merchants aren't the only ones predicting a green Christmas. Weathermen are predict-

ing clear skies for the holiday weekend and are advising people that this will truly be a “green Christmas,” and that definately won’t be like the one we had last year. Food sites are listed Two sites have been selected for the Child Care Food Program which will serve free Breakfast and lunch daily to children regardless of race, color or national origin. They are St. JohnMissionary Baptist Church, 1701 Martindale, and the Indiana Christian Leadership Conference Day Nursery, 3766 Baltimore. Call 636-5775 or 636-0310 for details.

UPlC’s into public relations

Be not dismayed if you just can’t seem to get your message over as far as public relations and information is concerned. There’s a concern locally that specializes in handling such matters with more than the average expertise. It’s Urban Public Information Center (UPIC), founded with the aim of ensuring “that disadvantaged and urban community dwellers are kept fully aware of information and public activities affecting their lives and communities.” UPlC’s service includes advertising, consultant, printing, designing and developing of business correspondence and forms, plus arranging for meetings, conferences, celebrations, exhibitions, and banquets. It came about in a rather unique manner and is directed by Nelson C. Woods, a retired Air Force officer with more than 20 years of military service most of which was

Some say it's best to plant potatoes on starry nights.

UNKNOWN AND NEEDY: Prospects of a better new year for this elderly resident of a local nursing home might be brightened by relatives or acquaintences recognizing him stepping forth and offering any information. The man, known only aa “Dorsey” since being found by Indianapolis police in 1965 with no identification, suffers disorientation and almost total loss of memory. A concerted effort is being made to locate kin or friends. The ladies responsible feel he may be able to apply for veterans benefits but lack vitally needed background material. If you recognize him or have any pertinent details, you are urged to contact either Veronica Brown at the Indianapolis Red Cross, 634-1441, or Mary Smith at the Indianapolis Urban League, 639-9404. Tech graduate named Atterbury director Jr. Job Corps Center in Louisville, Ky.; Gulfport Center in Gulfport, Mississippi and Crystal Springs Center in Crystal Springs, Mississippi. Atterbury is a coed program with 600 students. There are 200 staff members. Allen is very optimistic about the future of Atterbury under Res-Care management.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Dr. Jacqueline Blackwell, assistant professor of early childhood development at Indiana University, will be the keynote speaker for the January 7 surrounding residents program at the Children's Museum. Dr. Blackwell will speak at 2:30 p.m. in the museum’s multipurpose room.

NELSON C. WOODS spent in military public affairs. It’s minority owned and operated and Captain Woods is assisted by a multi-racial, lingual and cultured staff advisory board. Most important UPIC is non-profit. Advisory board members are such standouts as Col. John Christie, USA ret., Mrs. Mattie Coney, Mrs. Martha Connell, MMrs. Hallie Crombaugh, Sam H. Jones, Maj. Herbert Lubin, James Sanders, Marcus Stewart, Col. Roy P. Whitton, (USAFR), Charles R. Williams and CMSGT EuFay R. Wood, (USAF, Ret.). If military titles seem to dominate the above list, it’s because the center was founded by former military personnel. Director Woods is no slouch in his field. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University o f Nebraska with a major in political science and a minor in business administration. He also earned a master’s degree from the University of Oklahoma with a major in human relations and a minor in mass communications.

Captain Woods has lectured extensively for various colleges and universities and the Defense Information School (DINFOS) at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Aa an instructor at DINFOS, responsible for training military journalist and public relations specialists, he developed, co-ordinated and taught courses which covered governmental considerations, rule’s also founder and director of The Ant Hill, a public relations, advertising and consultant firm. UPIC's mailing address is P.O. Box 20287, Indianapolis, 46220, and telephone numbers are 251-5487 and 255-9708. IPAUO passing railroad freight hikes to customers The Interstate Commerce Commission’s approval to increase railroad freight-rates an average of nearly seven per cent, effective Dec. 15, will cost Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL), and in turn it* customers, about $815,000 a year. The utility said the ICC rate increase, which was announced last week, will ultimately be reflected in higher monthly fuel cost adjustments around the middle of next year. IPL indicated it was too early to predict exactly how much the fuel adjustment will increase, because it reflects both the cost of fuel and transportation. “This is another example of the affects on our customer's electric bills of spiraling coal and transportation costs, governmental regulations, and inflation. If we are to maintain affordable electric service, we all need to find a way to control inflation, which is the basic problem,” Zane G. Todd. IPL Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said.
