Dear Readers,

The purpose of the questionnaire on the next page is to help

Since that time several hundred photographs and articles publish-

Esther Carr Completes Internship Program

Esther Carr has returned to Fres-
no after completing a 10-week in-
ternship program at the National
Council for Equal Business Oppor-
tunity (NCEBO) headquarters in
Washington, D.C.

Mrs. Carr is an administrative
assistant for the Fresno West De-
velopment Corporation, the eco-
nomic development branch of the
Fresno Model Neighborhood. The
organization spearheads industrial

development.

NCEBO's training program of-
fers a practical approach to eco-
nomic devlopment. Although it
touches on the social aspects of
minority economic development,
the program attacks the problem
primarily from a business-oriented
viewpoint. It draws materials from
NCEBO client organizations, gov-
ernment and business sources. In-
terns are trained in the elements
of business development so they
can help to increase their local or-
ganization's capability to develop
minority owned and operated bus-
inesses. They become professionals
with the capability to develop
minority owned and operated bus
inesses. This capability includes an
understanding of the process of
developing enterprises such as su-
permarkets, shopping ceners, and
housing developments.

"This program," said Mrs. Carr,
"has given me an insight into eco-
nomic development as a total pro-
gram rather than as specific small
loan packages. With interns par-
ticipating from many areas of the
country I was able to see a cross-
section of economic development
on a national basis and I picked
up many new ideas for implement-
ing local programs."


Grapevine Magazine Plans First Annual

Plans are in the making for what may be one of the biggest social

VINE MAGAZINE has been tentatively scheduled for the month of No-

tion next month.

FSC Gets Criminology Grants For Minorities
Linzie Daniel

Fresno State College has received
grants totaling more than $100,000
to conduct an innovative program
to train 25 minority group mem-
bers for careers in law enforcement
and corrections.

The program will operate under
a $58,000 grant from the Cali-
fornia Council on Criminal Justice
and a matching grant from he
Fresno Model Cities Program.

Priority will be given to, but
not restricted to, Model Neighbor-
hood residents in Fresno.

The law enforcement training
project is designed to provide high-
ly qualified candidates for entry
into the administration of justice
agencies through a work-study
project which combines a college
education with practical experience
in law enforcement and corrections.
Linzie L. Daniel, a FSC gradu-
ate and member of the Fresno
County Probation Office, has been
named coordinator of the project.
His office is in the FSC Criminolo-
gy Department.

Daniel said criminal justice ag-
encies in Fresno City and County
have acknowledged both a need
and a willingness to recruit quali-
fied minority personnel.

He said the training project is
designed to alter some of the con-
ditions which have hindered mi-
nority members' entry into the law
enforcement and correctional fields.

Agencies participating in the
project include the Fresno City Po-
lice Department, the Fresno Coun-
ty Sheriffs Department, the Cali-
fornia Youth Authority and the
Fresno County Probation Depart-
ment.

Men and women in the program
will recieve stipends as well as
on-the-job training and education-
al opportunities.

"MOON TWILIGHT"

When it's twilight on the Moon
And the star's begin to light
Worldy troubles fade in beauty
Of a perfect Moon twilight

All the mystery of God's nature
Seems to fill the world about;
All the self-love that is in one
Seems to some how filterout.

On the peace and quiet comfort
Of the Moon twilight Mood
When the night is filled with comfort
Turned to dusk solitude.

There is glory in the Anthems
That are played on silent strings ...
There are beauty in God's voices
When the Moon twilight sings.

Manpower Inventory
To Begin In Model Neighborhood Area

In order to create new and more effective programs to provide skills
training and relevant job placement for residents of the Model Cities
Neighborhood, the Model Cities Program is conducting fomulate skills
inventory of residents in the Model Neighborhood.

In order to obtain employment information and develop the skills
catalog, a house-to-house inventory of the Model Neighborhood will be
conducted. The house-to-house survey will be conducted by students
working in the NYC Summer Youth Program.

Horace Hampton, Community Relation Specialists of the Fresno West
Development Company, the Economic Development arm of the Model
Cities Program is Project Director. Charles Francis and Bill Winston, grad-
uate students in Urban Planning at Fresno State College, are coordinating
the inventory.

The inventory was recommended by the Economic Sub-committee of
the Model Neighborhood Council and endorsed by the total council. In
an interview with Mr. James Hackett, committee chairman, he stated,
"If we are to reduce the high rate of unemployment (21 %) in the Model
Neighborhood Area we must know what skills our residents possess so
that we can direct our industrial recruitment based on these skills." He
also stated that to attempt to develop job opportunities for West Fresno
residents without an inventory (Skill Bank) is like trying to build a house
without blueprints.

Currently the Fresno Model Cities staff is busily engaged in the process
of making this inventory a reality.

Which Are You?

Are you an active member, the kind that would be missed,
Or are you just contented that your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings, and mingle with the flock,
Or do you stay at home and criticize and knock?

Do you take an active part to help the work along,
Or are you satisfied to be the kind that "just belong?"

Do you ever go to visit a member who is sick?
Or leave the work to just a few and talk about the clique?

There's quite a program scheduled that I'm sure you've heard about,
And we'll appreciate if you, too, will come and help us out.

So come to the meetings often and help with hand and heart,
Don' be just a member, but take an active part.

Think this over, member. You know right from wrong.
Are you an active member or do you just belong?

Dr. Joe Toney Reinstated At Fresno State

California State Colleges Chan-
cellor Glenn S. Dumke has ordered
the rehiring of black chemistry pro-
fessor Dr. Joe David Toney for
1971-72 by Fresno State College.

Toney filed a grievance, charg-
ing his dismissal was based on
his anti-administration views and
on racial discrimination. Baxter de-
nied the charges, stating the dis-
missal was based on "profession-
ally sound academic reasons."

A campus grievance hearing
panel ruled in favor of Toney but
Baxter overruled its decision and
the matter was appealed to the
Chancellor's office.

In a letter released recently
Dumke says he concurs in a Chan-
cellor's Review Committee recom-
mendation that Toney be rehired.

In effect, Dumke's action over-
ruled Toney's dismissal by FSC
President Dr. Norman A. Baxter.

"Naturally this is good news"
said Toney when informed of the
chancellor's decision, "but I would
not want my reaction to be taken
out of context or to be interpreted
as a slap against the administra-
tion.


"I do not anticipate being able
to return to the classroom without
some repercussions. Right now my
future plans are still under consid-
eration. I haven't decided whether
or not I will return to Fresno State
this fall."

Toney has taught at the college
for two years.

Eight months ago Toney was
notified by Baxter that he would
not be rehired, even though the
faculty in the chemistry department.
the department chairman and Acting
Dean of the School of Natural
Sciences Dr. Burke Zane recommended
he be retained.

Fresno County Black Republicans Organize

L to R: James Flournoy, Mrs. Sterling Johnson, Clifford Kelley, and Ron
Williams.

A group of registered Republicans met at the home of Dr. & Mrs. Ed-
ward Mosley and formed a political action committee, "The Fresno Coun-
ty Black Republicans." Mr. James Flournoy of Los Angeles, chairman of
the Ethnic Committee of the Republican State Central Committee, and
runner-up in last year's secretary of state race, presided at the organi-
zational session.

The purposes and objectives were formulated and temporary officers
elected. An applicaion was sent to the Fresno County Republican Central
Committee requesting a charter and direct affiliation.

The purpose of the group is to create in the black community a better
understanding of the principles and objectives of the Republican Party,
to improve the lines of communication between the black community
and the Republican, to increase the awareness of the Repubican Party
to the needs of the black community, and to increase representation of
Black Republicans in the decision-making processes of the Republican
Party.

The implementation of these purposes was embodied in the objectives
to give out news releases when we bring in national, state and local
speakers to inform the black community of the positions of the Republi-
can Party on housing, employment and education, to establish priorities
based upon the input obtained from the black community, to support
those Republican candidates who exhibit sensitivity toward the needs
of the black community, and to recruit young Black Republicans into the
Republican Party.

Temporary officers elected were: Chairman: Mr. Ron Williams, 147 W.
Strother; Secretary: Mr. Clifford Kelley, 3208 E. Austin Way; Treasurer:
Mrs. Sterling Johnson, 4455 E. Indianapolis.

Good Cops And Bad -No Easy Labels


Becoming a symbol is one of the worst things that can happen to you.
When you're a symbol, people no longer judge you by what you
actually are and what you actually do. They rely on a pre-packaged
mental image of what you must be like.

Many occupational groups are afflicted by this kind of type-casting.
Ministers, actors, football players, insurance agents and reporters are a
few that come to mind. But no one suffers more from stereotyping
than policemen.

They are doubly handicapped because there are in contemporary
American society two sharply different views of policemen-one favor-
able and one unfavorable, and neither very realistic.

To many Americans who are frightened by crime and civic disturb-
ances, the policeman has become a symbol of law and order, a noble
defender of civilization against the forces of chaos.

Like most stereotypes, this view contains elements of truth. There are,
in nearly every police force, brave and honorabe men who take terrible
risks for relatively little pay, dedicated men who perform an indispens-
able and often thankless role in society.

But an honest cop will be the first to tell you that not all of his col-
leagues fit that glittering image. Unhappily, there also are policemen who
steal, take bribes and drink on the job. There are policemen who seem
to derive a sadistic delight from pushing around black people, long-
haired kids and others vulnerable to official brutality.

Good cops don't condone these things. They'd like to see the bad
apples cleaned out.

But efforts by the press or by civilian authorities of government to
spotlight and eliminate abuses by police often are frustrated by the
hysterical reaction of citizens who are determined to regard all police-
men as heroes and who regard any criticism of any policeman as a
subversion of social stability.

The other view of policemen, widely prevalent among young white
dissidents and blacks of all ages, is succinctly expressed in the ugly ..

Economic Progress Of Negroes Is Fallacy

An article by National Business and Finance Columnist Sylvia Porter
recently pointed out that since the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act
very little progress had been achieved in the area of equal employment.
Because of this fact Congress has before itself another act titled The 1971
Equal Employment Opportunities Enforcement Act which will broaden
coverage of the employement provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to
businesses and labor organizations and extend the Civil Rights Act's
equal job opportunity section to employes of educational institutions.

Mrs. Porter states "even a casual reading of these three provisions
makes it clear that they would significantly stiffen our present laws
proporting to give blacks equal opportunities in our nation. Why this
stiffening? How are black workers faring in terms of equal job oppor-
tunities now? How much help have our laws given?

- Despite all the headlines about training programs for blacks in the
construction industry, under two per cent of unionized electrical workers
and under one per cent of plumbers are blacks. Blacks still are concen-
trated in the lowest-paying job classifications, as laborers and in the
"trowel trades."

-Although they make up 11.2 per cent of our population, blacks
represent under seven per cent of the membership in the building trades
unions.

- Under two per cent of our top federal employes (in the $16,000
and up income bracket) are blacks.

- Only 250 of the nation's 40,000 state troopers are black and blacks
account for only two per cent of our total number of military officers-
despite the fact that the Army now has four Negro generals, the Air
Force has one Negro general and the Navy has one black admiral."




epithet, "pig." In this view, policemen are the hired guns of a repressive
establishment. They are the arch-villains of a corrupt society, willing
instruments of every kind of social injustice.

This blanket indictment is even more inaccurate, more unjust, and
more dangerous than the all-cops-are-heroes illusion. It creates a climate
in which fanatics of both races feel they are dong something rather noble
when they shoot a policeman in the back.

A society in which the murder of law enforcement officers is accepted
complacently-or even secretly applauded-by people who don't re-
gard themselves as criminals is in a serious state. That way lies
anarchy.

The moral of this dissertation is two-fold.

If we condone police brutality and misconduct as a necessary by-
product of tough law enforcement, we are contributing to the delinquen-
cy not only of bad cops, but also of those who despise all police because
they've run into some bad ones.

If we condone cop-killing as an understandable expression of rage on
the part of people who have reason to hate the establishment, we are
undermining whatever hope there may be for achieving a society that is
just, orderly, and free from fear of capricious violence. (Reprint Fresno

Fresno Group Manages Mac Foster

Mac Foster of Fresno, California and number five ranked heavy-
weight boxing contender, has started what may be called a new
life in his boxing career. After suffering his first and only defeat
at the hands of veteran Jerry Quarry in June 1970, Foster has
made several major changes in his management, which he hopes
will lead him to the world heavyweight championship.

First Foster released Manager Pat Di Furia and hired Manager
Johnny Flores of Los Angeles. Next he went into partnership with
a Fresno based group called Central California Sports, Inc., to man-
age his ring and business affairs, and then he moved from Fresno
to Los Angeles, a better known boxing town, to resume his career.
Since that time Foster has had two fights, winner of both. His last
victim was Billy Joiner.

Dr. Freddie Hayes, a surgeon and a member of the GRAPEVINE
MAGAZINE staff, is one of the Fresno based group of 10, which
have a three year contract with Foster, the maximum time allowed
by the California State Athletic Commission.

Others in CCS are William S. "Bill" Whitehurst, Mortician, Presi-
dent; John Shehadey, Businessman, Vice President of CCS; Ed Fo-
raker, Investment Counselor, Vice President; Jay Sondheim, Ex-
manager of KFRE-TV; Leonard Ross, Stockbroker; Ara Hairabedian,
Boxing and Swimming Coach at Fresno State; John Chedester, In-
vestment; George Grossman of Palo Alto, Investment Counselor,

Black American Diplomat And Family
Visit Fresno

Mr. and Mrs. William B. Davis
and, Daryl, of the United States
Foreign Service were guests of
Mrs. Carmel Simmons Koivogui at
her parents home (the Rafe O'-
Neals) for an informal get-togeth-
er.

A seasoned diplomat, Davis has
served in the African countries of
Ghana, Ethiopia, Guinea and most
recently in Senegal as First Secre-
tary of the American Embassy and
Public Affairs Officer of the U. S.
Information Service in that coun-
try. The Davises and Mrs. Koivo-
gui, a native of Fresno, met and
became friends at Conakry, Guinea
where she was residing with her
husband, a Guinean citizen.

Davis showed the guests slides
representing aspects of Africa
which Americans rarely have the
opportunity of seeing and tourists

seldom have the luck to enjoy,
such as views of the marble-walled
interior of a 34-year old Ivory
Coast businessman's home and the
office of a beautiful young African
business woman of the same coun-
try.

His slides captured the natural
beauty of the West African coast-
line and depicted the impressive
accomplishments of African na-
tions struggling to develop their
countries. In showing one slide
particularly familiar to Americans
of African dancers, Davis pointed
out that the dance had been stag-
ed for tourists.

The enthusiastic welcome given
to black American expatriate
screenstar, Marpessa Dawn, in
Guinea was also vividly portray-
ed by Davis' slides.

Particularly enjoyed were the
pictures of the Guinean Peulh (al-
so known as "Foulah") women,
whom Mrs. Koivogui described as
"the most beautiful women in the
world."

The Davis and Mrs. Koivogui
visited Yosemite National Park. On
the same evening of the same day
they left for San Francisco.

Among the guests present at
the O'Neals were: James Aldredge,
Assistant City Manager; Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Revis, Mrs. Christine
Jennings, the Reverend and Mrs.
L. C. Garrett (Mrs. Koivogui's
grandparents), and Mr. and Mrs.
Pat Brown, originally of Fresno,
now residing in Portland, Oregon.
