CHEAP HOUSING
FOR ELDERLY IN
PLANNING HERE

Construction of housing units
for low income retired old people
may begin sometime during the
late spring, Harold Sloan, director
of Housing Authority of Cham
paign County said Wednesday.
Sloan said he submitted an ap-
phcation for reservation of units
on three lots at sol, SOB, and sos
W Columbia to Champaign City
Manager Robert Oldland.
The Housing Authority mus t
first get approval of the Cham
paign City Council and the Public
Housing Administration of t h
US. government before plans can
proceed.
The area will also have to be
rezoned to accommodate the new
dwellings.
Plan Bond Issue
Construction will be financed
by bond issue. The bonds will
be sold to the lowest interest rate
bidder.
Sloan said architectural plans
for the units were incomplete.
The only thing we're sure of is
that the buildings will be one
story structures" Sloan said.
A motel type plan might be the
answer, Sloan said.
The federal government will
subsidize the units making up the
difference between rents paid by
the residents and the actual op-
Grating expenditures of the hous-
ing units.
Probable Rental
Sloan said that the rent would
probably run about 20 per cent of
the average income OF the people
living in the units.

MISS JACKSON
THRILLS WITH
fine CONCERT
BY JOSEPH w. BLACK
News. Gazette Staff Writer

4NCWS'NG&OpS0 o"~~AA V'~~~S
Gospel singing with a jazz beat
is a form of music styling which
can easily become more JAZZ than
gospel in the hands of most popu-
lar singers.
Mahal,a Jackson, however, is
the greatest Of all singers in this
somewhat unusual form. Thurs
day night she proved that wheth-
er singing the blues or jazz with
steady pulsing beat. the orr
ginal purpose of the songs was
always present.
Miss Jackson gave a benefit
performance for the March OF
Dimes to q half-filled Champaign
High School gym audience.
It is her phrasing and the clear
and powerful sounds which e t
the famed jazz-gospel SINCE
above any other in her class.
Phrasing Important
The most important thing for
any jazz vocalist today ard
the quality that all but the very
best lacks phrasing. Knowing
how to hold a note the proper
length and no longer and know
ing when to add vocal flourishes
and when not to, are the techri-
cal aspects which separate the
fine singers from the simply med
jocre.
And Miss Jackson is a master
in this field.
Her voice, too, has the quality
of the old blues singers combined
with that great depth of feeling
of religion which few of the "spir-
itual" singers possess.
Among the better known Of
Miss Jackson's songs Thursday
night were Down by the River
side" Didn't 1t Rain" Hes
Cot the Whole World in His
Hands" and when the Saints
Go Marching In" the only
strictly jazz song on the program.
Fine, Light Beat
Some of her finer vocal quail
ties. however, were exhibited In
lesser known numbers. Especial,
ly enjoyable were the phrasing
in "In My Home Over There, ;"
the plaintive quality of Have
You Any Rivers" and the fine,
light beat achieved in 1T Don't
Cost VeryeNuch."
The bouncy, quick gospel styl-
ing was most effective in Hold
On" which was balanced by the
following selection Il Found the
Answer" a slow gospel number
reminiscent of the old New Or.
leans blues numbers of the early
192Os.
Miss Jackson was receptive to
the audiences reactions to her
singing and a number of times
repeated the final chorus of a
piece - always with a little vari-
alton - if she felt the listeners
were particularly enthusiastic.
On two occasions she even rec
ognized applause by applauding
the audience in thanks.
Sense OF Dramatic
Her sense OF the dramatic, both
vocal and in her stage presence,
was ably demonstrated in the fl
nal number on the regular pro-
gram, Dear Lord, Forgive"
After the second chorus Miss
Jackson left the mike humming
the number. At the edge of the
stage she came in with the final
phrases of the chorus, still off
mike, and was singing the num-
Der as she left the stage. The
result was electrifying.
In response to the very en-
thusiastic reception, she asked |
for request encores from the au-
dlence and sang Peace in the
Valley rs 1t u" Precious
Lord and His Eye Is On the
Sparrow"
Miss jackson was ably assisted
throughout the program by Mil
-dred Falls on the piano and Will |

of childhood and its racial
hurts: and he had his hopes for
the future. But millions Of
Southerners, young and old, and
of both races, have had similar
experiences. What else was
there in this young student that
caused him to be capable of his
moment of truth? Courage, Of
course; and imagination, and
intelligence - and enough love
to respond to Gandhi's love of
mankind, and enough truth
seeking in his mind to realize
the meaning of Gandhi's teach

Transforming power. Was this
all the young man had? No,
there was more: an indefinable,
unpredictabie pot entail for
creating something new and
lasting, and doing it at the right
time. Every leader and every
race hero, and many artists and
scientists, possess this talent for
fusing their lives with the flu

It is not just college sopho-
mores who will tell you there
is no way to get out Of this
world except dead. Plenty of
people who don't know any
better will tell you the same.
You are sdoing time' and you
have 'slife to CO."
This book is about people who
are doing a stretch Of time in a
place of confinement called
"this crazy, upside-down, lost
world" We might call the thing
a report from inner space.
Enter a clergyman. He is a
nice guy. He is Virginian by
birth, who attended the Univer-
sity, and was called preacher
when he played halfback on the
football team. After graduation
he went on through Seminary,
served as chaplain in the Air
Force, and lost a leg in plane
crash two months before end Of
World War II.
For six years before the story
opens he has been rector Of All
Saints Church (Episcopal), and
seems to be giving satisfaction.
At least he is well-saturated
with the trivia of existence. One
thing we notice. On his bedside
table there are books by Rein
hold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich,
the theologians of existential-
ism.
But wait minute while we
do a double-take. What was the
name Of his church? All Saints.
Ouch! Well, it is not a bad
name for church-if we re-
member that to Episcopalians
saint is merely a sinner who
loves God. But there is a catch
to it. AS any reader Of church
history will realize, a church
with a name like that will be
celebrating its name-day, its
patronymic festival, at Hal.

intense period of goddamish-

wonder emotions run riot, and

wonder peculiar old women
hear the barking of dead dogs

tic opens the doors Of cages in
the laboratory and releases
upon society a plague OF rabies

Welfare Council Chief
Hits SpecioI Treatment

rangement and repeatedly have
considered pulling out of the
UGF campaign unless they re-
Iceive the same kind of treat
ment as the Red Cross.
Additional trouble is expected
when the UGF board of di-
rectors meets August 3. At that
time the UGF's Admissions and
Advisory Committee repeatedly
will recommend that UGF take
over all the budgeting for its
drive-in effect taking over the
work now done by the HWC.
Mr.. Lee declined to discuss
his views about "the proper
UGF-HWC organization and
relationship" at this time.
He said his views will be
made public when all sections
of the community reflected in
the Health and Welfare Coun-
Gil have had a chance to re-
view them"
He added that "the over
shadowing problem now is the
success of the success of the
success of the UGF fund-rais-
ing campaign"
Evening star., 1960-07-15

Frederick B. Lee, president of
the Health and Welfare Coun-
Gil of the National Capital Area,
said he is opposed to giving spe-
cial treatment to any welfare
agency to keep them in the
United Givers Fund.
II am against appeaSement
that will give any one social
welfare agency an undeserved
advantage over others just to
assure cooperation" Mr.. Lee
said. "The community should
be the final judge"
A controversy is brewing in
UGF ranks because the Red
Cross receives a set percentage
of the proceeds each year
whether or not the UGF fund
drive reaches its goal.
The Red Cross is the only
organization now operating un-
der this arrangement. The
others are allotted a share of
the funds raised by the HWC,
which acts as a budgeting agent
for the fund drive.
Both the Boy Scouts and
Salvation Army have expressed
dissatisfaction with this ar
