Legal Redress has set up an effective organization to resolve local complaints and screen discrimination complaints. A "Hot Line" for handling complaints in the school systems has been installed in our office.

The United States of America faces a host of international and domestic challenges in 1962. Likewise, Indianapolis and the State of Indiana will face similar challenges which will include a bumpy economic climate in 1982. The next 12 months will be as tough, in my view, as any in recent history. We will have to deal with renewed Russian aggressiveness, uncertain energy supply,

blacks provided there are no rigid "quotas." Even if we grant the obvious-that such polls are not definitive and that much depends on how questions are framed and how individuals interpret them-it still suggests the absence of any mandate to undennind affirmative action or federal enforcement of equal employment opportunity. Two to one majorities also backed handgun registration and opposed s Constitutional amendment banning abortion. A slim majority backed passage of the Equal Right Amend-

ment.

This suggests that advocates for poor people and minorities need to tap the latent public support for the programs and goals we back. It further suggests the need to forge strong coalitions to further our

interests in 1962.

Part of the challenge facing advocates for social change is the need to devise constructive new ways of attacking discrimination and poverty. They should not be pie-in-the-sky formulas either, but solid suggestions that can attract broad ^ support and have a reasonable

Sherman in Indianapolis. "Our drug store will remain

fully competitive frith others," said Hameda. "and Green Stamps will be issued as an ‘extra bonus.’ Because of their popu larity, we believe SAH Green Stamps will not only attract new shoppers into our store, but will aliw be a way for us to thank our customers for their loyalty in shopping here." he

added.

"Consumers like to save Green Stamps and have been doing so for more than 65 years," said Wesley Strong, SAH Area Manager who signed the agreement with Brock’s Pharmacy.

TIME FOR TALK By WflNnm (Skinny) Alexander

And now that the New Year is upon you, just what do you intend to do about it besides make resolutions that you don’t plan to keep? Oh well, don’t feel bad. I’ve done the same thing in the past and chances are HI probably do it again in 1962. But I will try harder to keep my own word not doing something I know 1

shouldn’t.

Stopped by the very swinging affair of The Travel Aires Social group held at The Essex House last week, and was the joint jumping. Spatted there enjoying themselves were Georgia Moore, Morris Steen, CoeOa Howard, Tracy Williams, WiJKam Johnson, Ted White and just a hoot of others. I’m looking forward to their

next affair.
