What You See Is, Is What You Get, What You Read Is What You Know & Save — Eastern North Carolina’s Minority Voice GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27834 THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1988 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 suppliers’ 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.

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. “I’m going to formally ask the state Board of Education next month to study and develop a set of recommendations for early child- hood readiness,’ 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, $ CO! : BOUND .»; Delta Sorority Annual Miss College Bound took place last Saturday at West Greenville, ‘Shown is the lovely young ladies who participated in the event.

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,’ 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.” “They're supposed to train them for other jobs. They (the employees) were never able to obtain another job,’ 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.”’ Base officials told The Sun Jour- nal of New Bern that government policy is strictly adhered to and that the privatization program aims to cut costs but does not target low- ¥ See Calendar of Events on page 10 * skilled jobs or any racial groups They say contracting out the custo- dial work, for example, will mean a three-year savings of about $500,000. ‘‘One thing they refuse to accept,’ said Col.

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. (Continued on page 10) Office Veteran and Pitt County NAACP president D.D.

BARNES FAMILY MATTERS—‘‘NO HELP ON THE HOMEFRONT”’ BY—DAVE BRANON Let’s look at some of the dif- ficulties single parents face and make some suggestions for handling them. 1. Confusion of Roles—A parent’s 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 isn’t possible. By God’s 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 ‘pal’ or ‘buddy’ 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 ‘buddy’. Therefore, is it vital for the single parent to develop good frienships outside the home. 2. Time Pressures—Children are demanding. It’s 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 doesn’t 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, they’ll 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 you’ve 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 don’t use these peo- ple as a hazardous waste dump where all you do is unload your Sey %..

Also, look for support groups in your church. 4. Discipline—One problem that single parents have with discipline is that they think ‘single parently.’ 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 God’s guidelines for Christian living, place your trust in His protection and guidance, and find fellowship with a good, Bible-believing, lov- ing congregation. With God’s 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) SPECIAL BLESSINGS BED- TIME PRAYER Share the Special Blessings Bedtime Prayer with children you love. Dear God, before I go to sleep, and end another day, I’m happy that you’re always here, to listen while I pray. Please bless my special family, Lord, whom I love as much as you, please help me to be good for them, the way you'd want me to. So, God, please watch me as I sleep, but, Lord, before I do it’s good to know you're loving me, as much as I love you. Good night, God. As a Mom, you want your children to have many special moments. The happiness of love. The warmth of friendship. The joy of faith. iThe Special Blessings characters (imagine dolls, rab- bits, smiling faces) will help you share these special feelings and wholesome values with your children, (Continued on page 10) JIM ROUSE Publisher Georgia Rouse Business Manager ABDUL JAMES ROUSE II!

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 didn’t 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 Barnhill, Douglas Barnhill, William (Bruce) Barrett, William (Jigg) Ebron, Ernest (Little Bo) Davis, Chester Barnes, Jessie Corburn, Lawrence (Bratt) Hagan, Arthur (Tip) Holley, William Sheperd, Larry (Pope) Pierce, and An- drew Dupree.

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 world’s 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?’,” 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.

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 for State Gate PAID FOR BY THE COMMIT TEE PO ELECT CHARLES MeL AWHORN, ogee ce co pede el eee THURSDAY, APRIL 14-WEDNESDAY.

He had an éagy rapport with 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 (Continued on page 10) 907 Dickinson Ave. ee Carolina Grill Restaurant DOWN HOME COOKING OWNERS MELVIN & SANDRA MCLAWHORN OPEN 6 AM 99¢C Breakfast $2.60 Lunch — Choice of Meat & 2 Vegs.
