Joe Dudley: Late bloomer reaps success in business
By ROBIN BARKSDALE
Chronicle Staff Writer
From the Winston-Salem Chronicle
~He had a smile and a "Glad
you're here," for everyone as he
milled about the crowd of more
than 200 beauticians and hair care
suppliers. And, as the suppliersT
convenuon came to an end, partici-
pants waited anxiously in line and
jockeyed for position to steal a few
moments with Joe Louis Dudley
Sr., the man behind the enterprise
at Dudley Products.
Although pressed for time,
Dudley paused to shake hands and
pose for pictures with the distribu-
tors of his products. He remem-
bered, he said, the days when he,

from a mentor. Now Dudicy is the
mentor, a Situation he said he never
even dreamed possible years ago
when he began a career in door-to-
door sales as a Fuller Brush sales-
man in New York.
Today, Dudley has parlayed
his early sales experience into a
multi-million dollar business, with
its headquarters located in a
sprawling plant just off the 40 East
highway on the outskirts of
Greensboro. Dudley, labeled men-
tally retarded as a icen-ager, admits
that he was "not a very good stu-
dent." But, Dudley said, it took
only a severe case of jealously to
turn his life around for the better.

Martin suggests state
consider preschool plan
RALEIGH (AP) " Gov. Jim Mar-
tin suggested Friday that the state
consider pioneer preschool prog-
rams for 3- and 4-year-olds instead
of expanding the career ladder prog-
ram for teachers.
oITm going to formally ask the
state Board of Education next
month to study and develop a set of
recommendations for early child-
hood readiness,T Martin told a
group of teachers from 16 school
systems that are testing the career
ladder.
Martin also said he favors more
flexibility in evaluating teachers in
the program, noting that command
of eee matter and ability to in-
is Monica Garris, a Rose Hi
with her escort Mark Reed,
spire students also should carry
weight.
In an interview with The News'and
Observer, Martin said he might ask
the state Board of Education to try
some experimental programs next
year, since board members have
told him they see no need to involve
more systems in testing the career
ladder before it is expanded statew-
ide in the 1989-90 school year.
Last month, Martin had said he
would recommend that the General
Assembly add a career ladder " a
form of merit pay that rewards
superior teachers with higher sala-
ries and special duties " in each of
eight more school systems next
year,

Tsk, tsk. You've got Joe and he ain't

that I could make something of

NAACP charges program
discriminates against blacks
CHERRY POINT (AP) " A prog
ram that shifts federal jobs to pri-
vate contractors adversely affects
black w orkers at Cherry Point Mar-
ine Corps Air Station and exacer-
bates discrimination in employ-
ment, the Craven County chapter of
the NAACP has charged.
The NAACP contends the base is
slow to promote and quick to dismiss
blacks and that the Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity Office, which de-
als with discrimination complaints,
is allied with base management
The group specifically assails thes
Commercial Activities program,
which pinpoints jobs that could be
more efficiently handled by private
contractors. A Commercial Activi
ties study last vear resulted in the
loss of eight people from the custo-
dial staff at the Naval Aviation De-
pot. Of the eight, six were black
employees ;
Those Workers, who had 12 to°1S
years in their jobs, ~~were effec-
tively told by the base that we ho
longer need you,T said Jamies B.
Parker Jr., a base employee and a
member of the NAACP. ~In doing
our studies it's cheaper to do (the
work) with private contractors.�
oThey're supposed to train them
for other jobs. They (the employees)
were never able to obtain another
job,T said-K@nneth Boyette, presi-
dent of Local 2296, International As-
sociation of Machinists and Aeros-
pace Workers, and a member of the
NAACP. "The bottom line is blacks
were singled out and cut loose.�T
Base officials told The Sun Jour-
nal of New Bern that government
policy is strictly adhered to and that

MAYOR OF GREENVILLE . . . embraces two candidates for Public
To The Editor:
By overriding the president's
veto of the Civil Rights Restoration
Act, the Congress has sent a clear
message that government will not
tolerate discrimination.
The override was a powerful
blow to the administration's rigid
anti-civil rights policies. And
because the lawmakers acted in an
election year, it suggests Congress's
respect for the power of the Afro-
American vole and the votes of
white citizens who reject discrimi-
nauon in all of its forms.
Passage of this act was long over-
due. The president's veto was hostile.

FAMILY MATTERS"~~NO
HELP ON THE HOMEFRONT�T
BY"DAVE BRANON
LetTs look at some of the dif-
ficulties single parents face and
make some suggestions for
handling them.
1. Confusion of Roles"A
parentTs role in the family is to be
either a father or a mother, but
not both. Sometimes when one
spouse is gone, the remaining
parent reassures the child by say-
ing that he or she will become
both the mommy and the daddy.
That sounds good in a pep talk,
but it isnTt possible. By GodTs
design, we are equipped to han-
dle only one role. A better solu-
tion would be to find a trustwor-
thy person, an aunt or uncle, a
grandmother or grandfather, to
provide the missing role model.
A related danger that single
parents face is the tendency to
become a ~palT or ~buddyT to the
children. The parent needs so-
meone to talk to so he or she
begins to see the children as a
sounding board. This may negate
the more important parent-child
relationship that must continue to
exist. It becomes very difficult to
discipline a ~buddyT. Therefore, is
it vital for the single parent to
develop good frienships outside
the home.
2. Time Pressures"Children
are demanding. ItTs not their
fault, of course, but they need
almost constant attention. When
two parents are present, they can
pinch-hit for each other and work
together to make the task a little
easier. But what happens when
there is no backup parent?
Frustration mounts. Anger rises.
Tension grows. Communication
stops. When a single parent must
be the sole provider, the maid,
and the breadwinner, a change is
imperative.
Perhaps the single parent
needs to cut down on the
workload at home. This can be
done in some cases by recogniz-
ing that the house doesnTt have to
look like a picture in BETTER
HOMES AND GARDENS all the
time. Also, the children can be
recruited to help. If they can see
that more than ever they need to
help, theyTll probably be willing
to run the vacuum, throw some
clothes in the wash, or do the
dishes.
3. Loneliness"Single parents
often feel as if they are stranded
on a desert island of kids. When
one of them brings home a bad
report card, who can you talk to
about it? When another decides to
get sick in the middle of the night,
who can you consult? When all
youTve heard for three days is
baby talk, can you still carry on
an intelligent conversation?
Single parents may not be alone,
but they do get lonely.
This is where a Christian
friend, an understanding parent,
a Close brother or sister, or a
compassionate fellow employee
can help. But donTt use these peo-
ple as a hazardous waste dump
where all you do is unload your

Then, when you need an ear, that
friend will lend you his. Also, look
for support groups in your
church.
4. Discipline"One problem
that single parents have with
discipline is that they think
~single parently.T Instead of
treating a situation as he or she
would if both parents were in-
volved, the parent worries about
how being alone will affect the
discipline. He or she fears that
the child will become bitter or
feel rejected. The key is to give
loving discipline that is fair, con-
sistent, and forgiving. Also keep
in mind that with added
pressures of life comes the
tendency to punish on the basis of
feelings rather than because of
what the child did wrong. Be
careful. This can lead to abuse.
Being a single parent may not
be an ideal situation, yet good
things can result from it. Often
the parent and children establish
strong bonds because each
realizes how important he is to
the other. Also, the family can
learn lessons in understanding
that those outside the single-
parent household do _ not
comprehend.
If you are a single parent, be
encouraged. Follow GodTs
guidelines for Christian living,
place your trust in His protection
and guidance, and find fellowship
with a good, Bible-believing, lov-
ing congregation. With GodTs
help, you are not alone in your
task.
FAMILY SCRIPTURES: |
BY BEATRICE MAYE
1. God has equipped each
parent to handle a specific role in
the home. (Psalm 68:5, Pro-
verbes 4:1; Timothy 5:1,2.)
d 2. It is vital for our mental
health to rest from our labors and
get away from stress. (Exodus
23:12; Mark 6:31)
3. Christians need each other
for support and guidance. (Gala-
tians 6:2,10; 1 Thessalonians
5:11-14)
4. Although children do need
discipline, parents must be fair in
applying it. (Proverbs 13:24,
Esephians 6:4)

As he wrapped up another con-
vention, Dudicy admitted his own
surprise that a venture resulting
from his unemployability had
grown by such leaps and bounds.
"At Fuller Brush we nad a place
where people like myself, people who
- couldn't get all the great jobs, came
and we had to make our own jobs and
we had sales meetings that taught us
that we could be somebody," said
Dudley, "That's pretty much why I got
into it. I was tired of losing so I said
I'd bewer make my own job and then
no one could take that from me. Now
my business has just grown. I had no
idea we would grow at this rate even
three years ago. I had no idea that we
would have these people pushing our
product. The work is fun for me. |

ss oIn February, 1947 a group of
World War II Veterans and local
_ Greenville boys would meet on
the block (Albemarle Avenue)
every Sunday evening around
seven o'clock. Some of them had
seen action in the E.T.O.
(Europe), C.B.I. (China, Burma,
~and India.) The Pacific Area and
North Africa. We would enjoy
talking about our experiences. In
those days we didnTt have any
clubs as we have today. We
decided to organize a club. So we
would have some place to go on
Sunday.
Our Ist meeting was in the
balcony of Grant Bell Cafe. We
named it the 20th Century Club.
Our lst members were William
D. Shivers, Robert L. Shivers,
Samuel Payton, Leon Payton,
Hildred Wilson, Floyd Harris,
Roy C. Payton, William Wilkins,
William (Bill) Clark, Julius
Joyner, Millard F. Bell, James

(Little Bo) Davis, Chester
Barnes, Jessie Corburn,
Lawrence (Bratt) Hagan, Arthur
(Tip) Holley, William Sheperd,
Larry (Pope) Pierce, and An-
drew Dupree.
Our first president was Robert
L. Shiver; second president was
Milliard Bell.

extremely hard because I was
slower than most people.�
But despite his best efforts at
studying, Dudley was not able to
find a job when he completed col-
lege at A&T State University.
Because no one would give him a
job, he said he decided to make his
own job and headed for New York
where he planned to strike his for-
tune. What he found, Dudley said,
was a man carrying a Fuller brush
kat and his own "fortune" tured out
to be one dollar for his first day's
work and a total profit of about $27
for his first week's efforts. Dudley
pushed Fuller products door-to-door
in New York for five years before
retuming to Greensboro where he
became a branch manager for the
company. But soon after assuming
the position, the entrepreneurial bug
began to hit Dudley. Armed with
years of door-to-door sales experi-
ence he decided to make his own
products to sell rather than selling
someone else's goods. Beginning
his venture, he returned to a skill
which had carried him through
school: studying. Only this time he
was Studying how to manufacture
products. While most manufactur-
ers spend years in laboratories cre-
ating products, Dudley took anoth-
er, less traveled route.
"I realized that everything you
need is in the library, so if you read
and study anything you want to
know is already in books,� said
Dudley. "I researched formulations
and I took a little that | had learned
from people already in the business
and leamed how to make my own
products.�
Dudley's routine became one
of making products at night and
gelling them by day. In 1968, his
first year in business, he pulled
down a $1,000 profit. In 1970, he
said, he "kind of got going� and by
{
1971 the business "really did
good.� !
But-in 1976, the bottom
dropped oyt for Dudley, who had
moved to Chicago with his wife to
continue their budding hair care
products business.
"I went way down and I went
bankrupt,� he said. "But I didn't act
it and we didn't live it. I still lived
in the worldTs tallest apartment
building. I made it because I kept
my mind on my future. I kept my
mind on what I wanted and off the
things that I didn't want.�
And Dudley bounced back. He
That drives me. Some people need
to climb mountains and do all those
other things. I like this challenge.�
Much has changed for Dudley
since he faced bankruptcy in the
1970s. He is the head of an enter-
prise that employs more than 260
people. At his plant, his products
are formulated, manufactured,
packaged and distributed. Hundreds
of beauticians across the country
and in the Virgin Islands promote
his hair care products and make
regular treks to Dudley Products
conventions and workshops. In
March, he and his family moved
"I enjoy Showing people that to every disadvan-
tage there is an e equal advantage. That drives me.
Some people nee
to climb mountains and do all
those other things. I like this challenge."
-- Joe L. Dudley Sr.
returned to North Carolina with his
business on the rebound and a
renewed determination to prove
nay-sayers wrong. Feeling the
same sense of loss as when his first
girlfriend was taken from him,
Dudley said the distaste of losing
brought him back and keeps him
going today.
"I look back and ask myself,
~How did I keep doing what | was
doing when I didn't have any
money and things were very
bad?T,� Dudley said. "It's the chal-
lenge of doing something you've
been told you can't do. They said
we couldn't distribute our own
products that we'd have to have a
middleman. We distribute our
products directly from our plant to
the beauticians and suppliers. They
said you've got to have someone
with a lot of experience. I enjoy
showing people that to every disad-
vantage there is an equal advantage.

into a new $1.5 million estate in
Kemersville. But in the midst of all
the success, Dudley remains a
down-to-earth, humble man, who
is not at all ashamed to admit his
shortcomings or to keep in tune
with the people that surround him.
During one of his March con-
ventions, Dudley escorted busloads
of people to his home for a visit
and personally drove some of his

thosé attending his convention,
spending his time with them
inquiring about their;families, their
children and confiding in them that
he still sometimés thas difficulty
with his spelling and must seek the
assistance of his tgeh-age daughter.
Riding with Dudley, the visitors are
awed by his presence and have
already several time$ asked him to
pose for a picture. But they are
made to feel more like next-door-
neighbors than strangers as Dudley
interrupts the conversation several
umes to mention to them, "I'm just
so glad you all could come to visit
me. I thank you so much for com-:
ing all this way.'I'm glad you're
here.�
He is not an aloof business
tycoon and in fact was puzzled when
asked if he bears any similarity to
the stereotypical images of big busi-
ness moguls.
"None of this:hds gotten me out
of touch with reality,� Dudley said
emphatically, "One thing that is very
