The minister, Rev. C. H. Pick

the previous night in Jail.
The investigation was started by
Atty. Joe Ray who was hired by
Pickett's sister to find how and
why the minister died.
Ray said the sister, Mrs. Lille
Banks, revealed that Pickett made
death-bed statement in which he
accused large white policeman
of striking, kicking him in the
stomach and later jumping up and
down upon his abdomen.
The statement apparently coin
cided with results of a coroner's
inquest which determined that
Pickett died of shock and blood

been the placement chair
man Of our League and have
worked very closely with
many agencies in Jackson
vile. I think great care is
taken to utilize volunteers
wisely, according to their
abilities and interests. We
carefully screen applications
from the agencies for volun-
teer services and try to send
the person best suited for the
job to be filled. If and when
the time arrives that we feel
a volunteer is no longer per-
forming the duty properly or
is no longer necessary, she is
relieved. Consequently, /
think there is little danger Of
people wasting time. I have
worked with other volunteer
organizations, too. and all
have made a sincere effort
not to waste time or talent" ;"

MRS. ROGER DELoNG of
Rockford, H.. president-elect
Of her League: Waste time
is a point of view. What one
volunteer might consider a
waste of time could be mean
ingful to another individual.
So the point of volunteer
service is to use each volun-
teer to the best of her ca
pacity. Oftentimes, when diff
ficulties arise, it's a matter Of
a breakdown in communica-
tions. A volunteer may con-
slider her job not meaning
full, "a waste of time, because
she doesn't understand the
ultimate goal, doesn't realize
that she's contributing to
the overall program. This
can happen, but it can be
corrected"

MRS. DWIGHT OWEN Of

organizations. II people are
prepared TO volunteer time
and effort to an organization
seeking the betterment OF q
community, 1t means they're
dedicated. And II they are
dedicated. they aren't going
to waste the time and energy
they give. Volunteers aren't
Just doing the work for some
