NEW YORK CITY - The

new National Association of

Afro-American Educators

(NAAE) has set black control

of black schools as its goal.A first priority will be to at-

tract Negro members away

from national teacher groupslike the National Education

Association and the American

Federation of Teachers.Details of planning by the

NAAE were formed in closed

sessions this month in Chicagoby some 800 Negro teachers

and professors from 37 states.Delegates to the founding

session came both from public

schools and from higher educa-

tion. One of the speakers at thegeneral sessions was MuhammadAll. Conference workshops

treated such topics as: "black-

ening" the curriculum, schools

in a black comminity, materi-

als of instruction, the black

student, the black educator

and higher education.

According a spokesman,

the NAAE operations are nowdivided among five regional

centers: Chicago, general co-ordination of activities; New

York, communications; stu-dent relations, Fisk University,Nashville; Philadelphia, curricu-lum studies; and a fifth citynot known to the spokesman.

The NAAE will seek to win

full communitv control overstaff and curriculum for red-dents of the Ocean Hills-Brownsville district in NewYork City, where an experi-ment in decentralized, local

control has recently run Intotrouble. This is in line with astrong resolution adopted by

the delegates in favor of com-munity control of all-blackschools in all-black neighbor-hoods.

The NAAE has scheduled

a meeting of a 40-man planningcommittee for August in St.Louis, to develop the formalstructure of the organizationand design a blueprint for ac-tion. Temporary chairman ofthe NAAE is Preston R. Wil-cox, assistant professor atColumbia University's Schoolof Social Work.

New Program Designed toFree Downtown Parking Woes

A new program designed toenable merchants located indowntown shopping areas tooffer their customers free park-ing at a parking meter hasbeen introduced by Duncan In-dustries, Inc.

Toronto.A gold, circular decai plays

a major identification role inthe Duncan system. Each meterhead clearly displays the em-blem while each merchant alsodisplays it fn his windows toindicate participation in theprogram.

"The Golden Circle Meter isthe result of a program initiat-tion for the pressing problemsed by Duncan to find a solu-merchants have in providingconvenient, free parking fortheir customers," Seitel said.

"We believe that the GoldenCircle programs offers a highlyeffective answer because Itprovides free parking for whathas normally beer, a meteredstreet or off-street parkinglot," he said.

"Under the system, a citywill continue to control parkingspaces with the well-proven ef-fectiveness of metered parkingapplictaions," noted A. R. Sei-tel, Duncan President.

The "no cost to shoppers"aspect of the Duncan programresults from a unique parking

meter the company has de-signed that automatically givesshoppers tokens when operatedin the normal fashion. The tok-ens are then redeemed for a

parking refund by participat-ing merchants when a purchaseis made.

Called the "Golden CircleValidating Parking Meter," theunit was unveiled recently be-fore traffic control profession-

als attending the InternationalMunicipal Parking Congress in

"We expect our program tocontribute substantially in theefforts that are underway torevitalize and further developtraditional downtown shoppingareas."
