Local NAACP Chapter
Receives Service Award
Member* of the Houston
County Branch of the NAACP
attended the 42nd Annual Southeast
Region Leadership Development
Training Institute held at the Hilton
Head Island, S.C., March 10-12,
1994. Delegates from the Houston
County Branch were Rev. C.E.

Chairpersons, Jeanette McElhaney,
Henry Taylor, Juanita Griffin and

The theme for the conference
was "The NAACP At Home and
Abroad: Advancement With Peace.
Justice and Equality*. Sessions
held throughout the training were
very informative in teaching
Branches ways to deal with the
problems in today's society. Dr.
Benjamin Chavis, Jr., Executive
Director of the NAACP,
highlighted the conference with his
speech at the youth night program
celebrating the "NAACP
Volunteer”. Some of his words of
inspiration concerned voting rights
(rcapportionment and rcdistricting),
education, memberships (the
lifeblood of the NAACP), and the
wars abroad in Africa and in the
U.S., and what we need to do as a
nation of people to prepare for the
future.
During the Award Ceremony the
Houston County Branch was
presented the "Ruby Hurley Award"
by Earl T. Shinholster, the
outgoing S. E. Regional Director
and newly appointed National Field
Secretary along with the newly
appointed S. E. Regional Director,
Nelson Rivers, 111. This award is
for outstanding service the branch
has rendered in the local
community. Mr. Larry Holmes
was presented the "Mcdgar W.
Evers Award" for his service to the
NAACP on the local, state and
national level. The local branch
president, Rev. C. E. Edgerton
stated. "This organization is here to

work for all the people. What we
accomplish is a collective effort to
help improve this community as a
whole. Also, Mr. Holmes has done
an outstanding job working
diligently for many years for equal
justice. He is to be commended for
receiving an award in honor of such
a great African American as Med gar

The NAACP looks forward to
continuing the legacy of total
community commitment and are at
the public's disposal to address any
issues to help for the betterment of

Traffic Flow At
Houston Lake,
Hwy 96 Hectic
BY B RENO A THOMPSON
Staff Writer
Though they realize there is a
traffic flow problem at the iniersec
tkn of Highway 96 and Houston
Lake Road, Houston County
Commissioners said this wed: that
high costs presently prohibit the
installation of a traffic signal there.
They did, however, agree to
funding an officer to direct traffic
during the intersection’s busiest
Hm^t L specifically the hours before
andffier school
“We realize that this is just a
temporary solution,’' Commission
Chairman Sherrill Stafford told
concerned parents who attended this
week’s regularly scheduled Com
mission meeting Tuesday in Warner
Robins. “But, at this point, it is
the most immediate thing we can
da”
According to Stafford, since
Highway 96 is a state road,
commissioners had checked with
the Georgia Department of
Transportation about possibly
sharing in the costs of installing a
traffic signaL
However, since plans are to sig
nalize the intersection under the up
coming widening project of Hous
ton Lake Road-a project that may
begin as early as a year from now~
the state department indicated that
costs of an earlier installation
would fall entirely on the county
and that turn lanes and re-location
of a gas line would also be required.
“So, basically, we now have a
price tag that has escalated from the
initial projection of $30,000 to
more than $170,000,” Stafford ex
plained.
