He served eight years on Wayne State University's Board of Governors. Burton died Feb. 17, 1970, at the age of 77.

Harold Bledsoe The tale is oft-told: how Harold Bledsoe came to decide he would teach black people to navigate the stormy waters of the political mainstream. It was 1922 in Washington, D.C., and Bledsoe and his soon-to-be wife, Geraldine, stood in a congressional gallery watching budget hearings. The pair, students at Howard University, watched with dismay as Southern congressmen railed against funding for the black institution. "That did it," says Bledsoe's daughter, who is now Detroit Recorder's Court Judge Geraldine Bledsoe Ford. "Daddy said right then that he was going to give 20 years of his life to bringing black people into the political process." By the time he died in 1974 at age 78, Bledsoe had committed a near-lifetime to political organizing across Michigan and is considered a linchpin in Democratizing Detroit's overwhelmingly Republican black voters.

Bledsoe, a native of Marshall, Texas, was the grandson of emancipated slaves who founded Bishop College in Marshall, where he began his studies. He graduated from Howard in 1922, and earned a law degree in 1925 from the University of Detroit. After working summers in Michigan, he settled in Detroit in 1924. He and Geraldine began political organizing almost immediately, believing that the Republican Party took blacks for granted. They and other black organizers crisscrossed the state by car, registering voters for the Democrats.

Geraldine Bledsoe died March 1, 1990. Harold Bledsoe served as a state assistant attorney general in 1932 and represented Detroit at Michigan's constitutional convention in 1961. "My daddy didn't weep and wail and he didn't gnash his teeth," Ford says. "He just got out there and did it." collectors OVer For more information or to order Kingpins, write Collect-A-Card 10 Ramseur Court, Drawer 5, Greenville, S.C. 29607 or call 1-800-243-7273 Intro, Please FIVE, from Page IE have failed, contributing to a society of me s.

"A lot of the evangelism and concern that existed before is gone because people are looking at things from 'my point of rather than from a broader perspective," Cushman says. "The measure of the life of any individual or institution is whether it contributes to the betterment of mankind." The Boston, native's career began just after his 1937 graduation from the University of Michigan, when he became a research economist for the Michigan Unemployment Compensation Commission. He is currently a professor emeritus of political science at Wayne State University and, since 1977, WSU's executive vice president emeritus. He retired from WSU in .1984. Gladys Woodard It was the late 1960s, and there was a plan afoot to level parts of the Delray neighborhood in southwest Detroit and sell it to a trucking company.

The firm already had an option on the land, and residents wouldn't be paid for the houses sitting on it. But Gladys Woodard, who had just become executive director of the Del-ray United Action Council, stepped in and said firmly: No way. "Those people owned their homes; most of them were senior citizens, and that's all they had," Woodard recalls. "They didn't want to move, but they didn't know what to do or which way to go. Woodard did.

She went to City Hall. Through months of machinations, Woodard and other Delray leaders convinced the Detroit City Council to cancel plan. Councilman Mel Ravitz was council president at the time. "She's a spunky lady," Ravitz says. "Gladys is one of those stalwart community leaders who really has been the inspiration of that community." Ravitz, who first sat on the council in 1962, remembers "various invasions" by pollution-bearing companies that have spewed smoke and grit in the industrialized Delray and forced large numbers of residents out.

Over the years, Woodard has helped Delray get a senior services center, a children's community center and much-needed neighborhood grants for community improvements. Dr. DeWitt T. Burton What Dr.

DeWitt Burton used to tell young black doctors was straight to the point: Stay in the city. Burton, who founded one of Detroit's first black hospitals, Burton Mercy, in 1940, came to prominence at a time when black doctors were shut out of most medical associations, schools and hospitals. But his commitment to the inner city ran much deeper than forced exclusion. 'Put something back into the That was his sentiment," says Dr. Cecil Jonas, who met Burton in the 1960s.

"It was very timely because a lot of us were full of self-importance; we could get on the big hospital staffs, and we tended to forget to support the small, inner-city black hospitals." Those hospitals, including the 96-bed Burton Mercy, were the backbone of efforts to hire and train black doctors and "provide a place where black patients could be treated with dignity, not like lepers," says Dr. Lionel Swan, who joined Burton Mercy's staff in 1953. The hospital was at 271 Eliot. "He was one of those constantly fighting the race thing, the racial battles," says Swan, who adds that Burton was one of 59 doctors who started the NAACP's Freedom Fund Dinner in 1956 after a black doctor was killed in Columbus, Ga. Burton was a native of Memphis, and a 1920 graduate of Me-harry Medical College.

He began practicing in Detroit in 1921. He was well-known in Detroit's civic, educational and business circles and in 1959 became the first black person in Michigan to be elected to a really heard of basketball cards, but now they're extremely popular because basketball is so popular," says Robey. "Basically, all the guys who work here are card collectors from' other sports baseball, hockey and we thought we'd like to have some." But, "right now, (bowling) is a low-key sport." And, right now, the cards are less than collector's items. Robey sold a few packs to diehard card collectors around Christmas time. But folks haven't exactly been standing in line.

Still, because you just can't predict a trend, some people aren't taking any chances. "Most people that get the cards are bowling fans and collectors," says Bob Castle at DiLaura Brothers Bowling Supplies in Warren, a wholesaler for the cards. "They'll just hold onto them until they're worth something." The collectors may get the last laugh.

Toastmaster Judge Myron Wahls joked about Hill's attempts to get movie roles, saying Hill failed to get a role in the Pink Panther movie "when they told him they weren't shooting the Black Panther."

More than 120 patrons donned formal attire for the elegant five-course dinner served at the Whitney.

Guests then proceeded to the Masonic Temple, where the ballet was dedicated to flight attendant Heidi Joost of Dearborn, who died in a December airline accident. She had studied dance at the Ricardeau Studio in Wyandotte, where Cleveland San Jose Ballet artistic director Dennis Nahat once trained.

Because bowling fans fondly refer to Detroit as the bowling capital of the world, aficionados figure that if these cards take off anywhere, it'll probably be right here. They probably won't be as big as baseball cards what could? but they still might do pretty well. "Bowling is getting revitalized, and if somebody starts a trend that goes along with it, it'll probably take off," says Jimmy Johnson who, as owner of Arena Pro Shop in Allen Park, is contemplating adding the cards to his inventory of bowling paraphernalia.

Mark Robey, manager of Bowlers' Aid Pro Shop in Dearborn Heights, which already stocks the cards, says Johnson is on the right track. "I think you can link the popularity of the cards, to the sport.
