NAACP Eyes Alleged Discrimination, Brutality

Anti-Nuclear Meet Dec. 8

COURT HOUSE — Members of the county NAACP agreed last week that their organization N should throw its full support behind a Wildwood ci- ' ty employee who has filed a complaint against the city for alleged Job discrimination. The local. chapter is also looking into an- incig ent of alleged police rutality against the Wildwood Police.Dept. In a a letter to NAACP president Dorothy Mack, Cheryl Wilson — an employee in the Wildwood Treasurer’s Office for 10 years — claims she* was overlooked for the second time recently ^hen the position of assistant treasurer was filled. She emphasized her qualifications for the job, noting her completion of four out of five necessary courses at Atlantic Community Col-

lege.

NAACP PRESIDENT Dorothy Mack listens to some of the problems brought to the organisation's attention at its Nov. 2S meeting.

CAC Election Tomorrow WOODBINE - The Community Action Council Will meet too p.m. tomorrow at the Woodbine Services Center, Longfellow and Monroe Ave., for election of officers. The Community 1 Action Council is concerned with issues dealings with the. utilization of human resources within the community. It is open to residents of Woodbine, Belleplain, Dennisville, Eldora, Sea Isle City, South Seaville, and UpperTownship.

ACCORDING TO Mack, the position was filled by Carol Dennis, an employee in the Lower Township's Treasurer's Office for the past several years. Ms. Dennis began working in her new position in Wildwood last month. Noting that Ms. Wilson is black and Ms. Dennis is white, the chapter president stressed at last Wednesday’s meeting that the NAACP’s interest in the case is not a black-white issue, but rather the question of the upward mobility provisions avaiible Tor all employees in the City of

Wildwood.

MRS. MACK told the newspaper Monday that when she met with Wildwood Commissioner Richard A. Nordaby, head of the Dept, of Revenue and Fihance, and asked him about the city’s upward mobility program for city employees, he indicated there is none. And when asked if all seven applicants for the assistant treasurer’s pbsition had. been asked the same ques-

lions during their interviews, Nordaby 'tiaid that they had, but acknowledged he couldn't specify #hat the questions were because he didn't have them written down MEMBERS PRESENT at the NAACP’s Nov. 25 session agreed that their organization should do everything it can to support Ms. Wilson in her fight against what she alleges to be outright discrimination. Mack said Monday that she is currently seeking ,to acquire the legal services of the NAACP's attorney assigned to represent organization chapters in

-the tri-state area. "We have to go out of the county to get lawyers for fustice,” she said. CONCERNING THE alleged police brutality incident described last Wednesday was of a young man on crutches who went to the police station to file a complaint against a woman who had thrown a. bottle at him from a car. While th^re he was allegedly physically abused by police officers and forced to stay in jail overnight. The next dpy after he was released, he went to Burdette Hospital whbre-it ’ was discovered his shoulder had been dislocated. ACCORDING TO Mrs. Mack the NAACP receives - a large number of complaints concerning alleged incidents of police brutality from throughout the county. She noted, however, that most of these are never investigated because when the complainants are requested to sign official complaints they usually back off. "We (NAACP) can't do anything without signatures," she said.

SEA ISLE CITY — The Rev. Robert Moore, administrator coordinator of the Princeton Coalition To Reverse the Nuclear Arms Race, will be the speaker of the f meeting of The Jersey Cape Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament, 7:45 p.m. Dec. 8 in St. Joseph’s Church Hall, 44th and Landis Ave.

Rev. Moore is an ordained minister of the United Church of Christ. His talk will show how individuals and local groups can turn their desire for peace into constructive action that will halt the race toward nuclear war. The public is invited to the Meeting.
