Edwin N. Glosson
When you've made it, take time to
Giving something back to the com-
munity is your responsibility. We
have a moral obligation to help those
in our community who are less for-
tunate. Once we have made it. so to
speak, we must reach back and help
someone else.
Many times when we move up the
ladder of success, we don't have the
time for others. We are busy playing
Golf and other leisure activities.
Somewhere is our busy lives, we
must take (or make time) to help our
community. Just because we do not
live in the Black community, it does
not mean we are debt free. Success
has a price-just like freedom; and
the price of freedom is expensive.
But giving your time to help some-
one is not a high price to pay. Many
children need a big brother or sister
while others need tutors and still
others just need to know that some-
one cares. Somewhere down theline,
there was that someone for you who
gave you a helping hand, a word of
hope--someone who believed in you
and helped you believe in yourself.
Today morethanever, Black children
all over this city need your help and
support This generaltion is in need
of mentors and caring people. Take a
little time for someone else; play
nine holes of golf instead of 18; give
an hour here and there to that needy
child. The results will be heart
warming. You just might be helping
the next Jesse Jackson, Percy Sutton
help someone
or David Robinson.
Point Two: Noted Attorney Roy
Barrera is in favor of having a Black
named to the District Court bench
vacated by Judge Tom Rickhoff.
Barrera believes Judge Andrew
Carruthers would make an excellent
District Court Judge. Barrera favors
Gov. Ann Richards appointing
Carruthers to the bench for several
reasons; Hie is qualified and has
experience and is very well respected
by his peers.He also feels that
Carruthers could be elected a city
wide race.
Point Three: Friday night atSt. Paul
UMC, the Register sponsored a
pastoral banquet for 33 ministers of
this city. And it was a huge success.
In good Christian spirit, several
women pitched in and helped us
serve food to more than 325 people.
The ladies from New Life Christian
Center, whose names we did not get,
Alvis Whitlow, Mrs. Bernice Evans,
Lisa Little, Edwin and Jackie
Glosson. From all of us at the Reg-
ister, thanks again.

to speak in San
Antonio on 20th
A 23 year old man turned himself
in to police for killing a man and
dumping his body in East Bexar
County after the suspect could not
find his car keys.
Billie Wayne Mathis, 20, of the
2500 block of Aransas, was shot
once in the forehead at close range
and his body was dumped behind a
service station in the 7100 block of
St. Hedwig Road around 1:30 a.m.
Sunday.
According to reports, Mathis and
the suspect Shawn A. Craig, 23, of
5300 block of Lake Golden Street,
were at a downtown lounge late
Saturday and one agreed to sell the
other some crack cocaine. They left
the bar and drove east on Houston
Street.
Craig told authorities while en
route, Mathis allegedly pulled a 9
m.m. semiautomatic pistol and told
h:i~ii he was going to rob him (Craig,
who was driving the car.)
Reports show that they drove to
East Bexar County wherehe stopped
the car. As the vehicle came to a stop,
the driver pulled a .38 caliber semi-
automatic pistol and fired twice, hit-
ting Mathis.
Craig then dumped the man's body
behindthe service station, authorities
said.
Craig said he searched for the keys
to his car, but he could not find them.
He then put both guns in a cardboard
box and walked one and a half miles
to the fire station where he told
firefighters a man tried to rob him
and he was forced to shoot him.
Craig then turned the box con-
taining the two guns to the
firefighters.
Sheriff Deputies found the 1977
Buick and Mathis' body behind the
station. Deputies found the car keys
underneath the victim.
Mathis, known as Dollar Bill, had
more than $800 on him when he was
killed.
Services were held Thursday from
the Anderson Funeral Home with
Rev. Antone Dykes officiating.
Interment was in Southern Memo-
rial Park.
Arrangements by the Anderson
Funeral Home.
