Show A No Lines Around Her Lovely Eyes try to work out better methods of pulling together on the job. "I've gained a lor in setter understanding of black people's attitudes and behavior' says Reginald Maton jr., white plant manager of the Stamford exchange of Southern New England Telephone Co. "I've learned that perhaps my white norms and expectations are not the only ones and that white society shouldn't impose them on other people." "I've found that you can't blame every situation or problem on your cplor," says Mrs. Lily Crosby, a black commercial instructor for Southern New England Telephone. "This course has helped me understand that human beings are human beings. Now I'm not as quick to say that someone got a promotion because they had a white skin, or that I have to be better than a white woman to get a promotion." Volunteers only New England Telephone had six people taking the course, two are from Pitney Bowes, and there's a scattering from other companies in the area. Of the 12 registered so far, nine are black, three white. The weekly courses are held at the Pitney Bowes training cen- ter; all the registrants are volunteers; and no college credit is given merely a certificate showing they've completed the course. Virtually all agree that the sessions have been helpful and that the best way for the races to get along is to communicate with each other frankly and fully. At work, says Lily Crosby, "as far as race goes, you don't really say what you feel. Here you do. And once you get something off your chest, you can do something about it." There have been harsh words exchanged from time to time at the seminars, but on the whole the meetings are amicable and each side listens respectfully to what the other has to say. L. Green, a Southern Henry New England Telephone Negro repairman who is being groomed for foreman and now has four or five white repairmen under him. Says Green: "When I came to the company, I felt there were some who didn't like blacks. They tried to hide their feelings, but you can tell. As a result of this course I'm more able to talk out and express myself without getting mad. That's important for anybody who's going to be in supervision. I used to believe that all white Non-deterge- p. people wouldn't believe or follow anything a black person told them. A lot of that feeling has been overcome now. "In this society a black man or woman has got to be twice as good as the white to get by. I'm used to that, though I still do a burn inside about it. But I'm a more balanced person now. The white people in this .course are seeing and hearing a lot of new things about the real inside of how it feels to be colored. It's like a laboratory in living. We've become more at ease with each other. Maybe courses like this all over the country could help a lot." Criterion: merit Dr. Singer agrees. "There are very few black people in middle and upper management today," he says, "and black people complain justly that little has been done in this area. Ultimately it has to become commonplace that people advance on the basis of capability rather than race or color. We have to help the black develop, unlock his abilities. "I consider this seminar as a means of needling and helping blacks to grow on their own. In the end, it comes down to this: Can we help black peo- ple upgrade themselves before lence ignites our whole society?" CLEANSING MILK ulv mm vio- Sc DISAPPEAR LbSS Heart Stress D on'l believe it?

Tasteless, odorless, harmless Rejects favoritism "Junior" Coodley finds that the course has "calmed me down quite a bit" in handling the 36 men he supervises. He feels that the white registrants "are learning how hard it is to be poor, black and nothing." In supervising his staff at Albany Products, he says he not only shows no favoritism to the black workers under him, but actually is harder on them than on the whites. "I show them that they've got a job to do here, and that they can and should do it just as good as white people. tell them that if they're goofing off on the job not to expect anything from me because we're of the same color."
