According to Benjamin, she is not advocating that everyone in the Black community take advantage of the program but. ” 1 think there is a need for Blacks to come in and look at these services." Human services, as she explained it, ” . . .is a helping profession. And the people who belong in any help ing profession have to have the m otivation and desire to help others." In addition, she said, “ They have to be people who understand them selves— know themselves— because you can’ t give what you d o n 't have."

Wisdom and peace are still in the hearts o f men But to concern ourselves with others seems to be a cardinal sin. We as members o f the Exodus Clean Team Are trying to bring to reality things that were once only a dream. Love they neighbors and thy self Caring and sharing our community with everyone else. Reaganomics is making us realize That we need to share our love and resources in order to survive.

TELETHA BENJAMIN Coupons Moan Found Money woman; her hair is short, natural; she maintains that in times o f reces sions as well as when there is a glow ing economy, the human services are needed. The peaks as well as the lows o f the bell-shaped curve bring an even greater demand for skilled human services workers, she said. "W hen the economy o f the coun try prospers, human services flourishes.” According to Benjam in, PC C is in the business o f offering relevant services to the com m unity, and those agencies that hire people who may not have any training Tor help ing people " . . . should require that they get training." She does not see any significant changes (in the economy) for another year, except, in the area o f corrections. " A n d that will be done out o f fear," she said. The unstable economy and an un predictable future underlines Tele- tha Benjamin’s contentions, and the thunderous roar seems to be: in v o lv e m e n t - " . . . pcOp |c in vo lve m ent." Stop the crying and dry your weeping eyes The Exodus Clean Team w ill try desperately to keep your heads held high. We believe and you should too that life w ill go on in spite o f you. When you realize when life gets rough, the rough gets tough nd we re not talking about making a smoke screen, for that’s not enough. Cleanliness o f body is fine, but with the mind it’s great Tackle it with vigor, determination, but never try to deviate. Nature is a never changing course And our lives w ill not be beautiful i f we use force. Make life a beautiful place to be W hether it is on land, air or the sea.
