Reaching the black communi-
ty is our business and we do it bet-
ter than anybody else in this
town. Pitt County is a growing
market and the people we reach
are hard working people with
homes, children, and a good in-
come. The Voice Newspaper can
help you reach a unique market.
Black folks who believe in The
Voice Newspaper believe in it
because its publisher is a com-
munity person who is concerned
about all the people in his com-
munity from the housing project
to the best of homes and he is
from both communities. They
drive everything from Mercedes
to Cadillac to Volkswagons. Just
ask people like Joe Cullipher, DD
Garrett, Roscoe Norfleet,
Flanagan Funeral Home, Green-
ville TV & Appliance, Attorney
Robert White, Zack Reddick, and
Western Auto.

The Voice Newspaper you are not
advertising in the right media.

Jim Rouse
Warren appointed to serve as
co-chairman of legislative
research commission
Representative Ed N. Warren
was recently appointed by the
Speaker of the House to serve as
co-chairman of the legislative
research commission to study the
issue of the growth of tourism and
its affect on the economic growth
of North Carolina.
Tourism is the third largest and
the fastest growing industry in
the state. Warren said, ~~I am ex-
cited about serving as Co-
chairman of the tourism commis-
sion, which generates over 4
billion dollars revenue for the
state and provides over 200,000
jobs. The tourism industry is ex-
pected to continue growing, and
with proper state support, can
surpass all other industries in
growth and revenues. It is my
desire to study the growth of
tourism in North Carolina, in-
cluding an analysis of this growth
and to make recommendations
for insuring that our part of the
state benefits from this growth
like the piedmont.�
There are four members from
the house and three members
from the senate serving with
Rep. Warren on this important
commission.

Warren stated that North
Carolina has consistently sup-
ported the tourist industry, and it
has proven to be a good invest-
ment for the state"with an in-
vestment of 5 million dollars
generating a return of over four
billion dollars in 1986.
Tourism industry has an
economic impact on North
Carolina through wages,
revenues from hotels, motels,
restaurants, taxable motor vehi-
cle fuel, gasoline stations, and
other tourist related entertain-
ment revenues.
Representative Warren is
chairman of the house appropria-
tions committee on education,
and serves on the agriculture and
banking committees.

yo ur social life? By Ginger C. Howington
Are your social activities at an
all time low? There may be many
reasons why this ocurred but it is
a fact that a pleasant and attrac-
tive appearance can only serve to
improve your social life. Take
your teeth and gums for instance.
Clean teeth and healthy gums are
surely an asset to your personal
appearance.
laque (soft deposits that can
be removed with a toothbrush)
that is left on your teeth causes
gingivitis or bleeding gums. Not
only does gingivitis make your
gums red and swollen, but also
leaves a salty or unpleasant taste
in your mouth. If plaque is not
removed everyday, it tends to
harden. This unsightly hard
deposit is referred to as calculus
or tartar. You will usually notice
it forming first on your lower
fromt teeth. After the plaque
hardens it has to be removed by
your dentist or hygienist. You can
Jones accepts

State Rep. Walter Jones, Jr.

tion to address the Governmental

fice in North Carolina and this at-
tempt to cap campaign expense.
Jones has addressed the issue

how bad this
fa] it must
imagine not on
looks but how
smell.
Halitosis or bad breath can
surely ruin your social life. All of
that plaque and tartar can leave
your breath very unpleasant.
Keeping your mouth as clean as
possible by brushing and flossing
everyday is the first step in solv-
ing this problem... Mouthwash
alone will not do it. You must
brush and floss several times a
day to remove the plaque and
bacteria to get results. Also ade-
quate check-up appointments
with your dentist or hygienist for
a professional ~~cleaningTT is
necessary to achieve this.
Why wait for a friend to tell you
that your breath may be offen-
sive? Do all that you can to
achieve a healthy smile"
Remember, a clean mouth can
only help to improve your social
life! !

Holiday blues? Help is just a

The holiday season is upon us
once again. It is a time to gather
friends and family for lavish din

merriment and song. Traditional
ly, the holiday season is a happy
time, a time to share with others
lifeTs many blessings.
Unfortunately, everyone does
not share in this blissful holiday
spirit.

My Dear Fellow Readers,
I extend to you warm and
special greetings at this blessed
season of the year. As you
remember the birth of the Christ-
child, may these days be filled
with much joy for you and for
those who are near and dear to
you.
Of course, we donTt like the
commercialism thatTs so mucha
part of Christmas celebration,
because it detracts from its true
significance. But for those who
know the Lord Jesus as Savior,
the reminder of the time when
othe Word became flesh and
dwelt among us�T can be an occa-
sion of genuine thanksgiving and
praise to the Lord, who ~o~so lov-
ed the world that He gave His on-
ly begotten Son.�
It is because of that great love-
gift that we who receive Him are
the recipients of eternal life. oFor
the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our LordT (Romans 6:23).
This is also a time of reflection
on the year just passed. For

In this final word to you in 1987,

We are not always happy
It is silly to tell intelligent
human beings: Be good and you
will be happy. The truth is today,
be good, be decent, be honorable
and self-sacrificing or you will
not always by happy. You will
often be desperately unhappy.
W.E.B. DuBois
We American Negroes are not
happy people. We feel perhaps as
never before the sting and bit-
terness of our struggle.
W.E.B. DuBois
The three arch enemies of suc-
cess: Hurry, worry and debt.
Happiness is best attained in
learning to live each day by itself.
The worries are mostly about
yesterday and tomorrow.
As of July 1986, the estimated
population of the U.S. was
241,596,000, with 123,776,000
females and 117,820,000 males.

A childTs face pushes against
the glass in a window of the
Meadowbrook Community
Center in Greenville. A small
sign in the corner shows a rain-
bow, an open hand, and at the
bottom reads, o~United Way.�
Inside, Mrs. Gloria Pearsall
yells, oIf you donTt have any
homework, I want you to get a
book and read.� The thundering
roar, a mixture of giggling, run-
ning feet, talking, and shouting,
subsides for a few moments, but
steadily builds again.
oRead QUIETLY, please,� she
adds. Mrs. Pearsall, director. of
Operation Sunshine, only smiles.
She is accustomed to these noisy
afternoons which begin at 2:30
pm and end around 5:00 pm, five
days a week.
oThey can be a little loud
sometimes, but I donTt mind.
When theyTre quiet, now thatTs
when I worry.�
Operation Sunshine, an after-
noon and summer program
designed to serve girls ages
seven to 13, focuses on
economically and culturally
deprived girls from the Pitt Coun-
ty community.
oWhen we get here to Opera-
tion Sunshine,TT says Shon
Carney, age 7, ~o~We have to go
back there and do our homework.
oBack there�T is the study room
of Operation Sunshine, consisting
basicly of a table, chairs, and a
multitude of books for elemen-
tary and junior high readers.
oWe feel that by stressing good
manners and good study habits,
these girls will be more suc-
cessful at home and at school,�T
Mrs. Pearsall says, ~~All the girls
bring their books with them after
school and we tell them as soon
as they walk in the door, ~you
need to do your homework, young
lady, before you do anything
else.T If they donTt have any
homework, then I have plenty of
books for them to read instead.�T

Why not make these quotes a
part of your life . .
1. oWe must adjust to changing
times and still hold to unchanging
principlesTT, said Miss Jane Col-
eman, Jimmy CarterTs high
school English teacher. This
quote was made by Jimmy in his
Inaugural Address, January 20,
1977.
2. No matter what looms ahead,
- if you can eat today, enjoy the
sunlight today, mix good cheer
with friends today, enjoy it. Do
not look. back on happiness, or
dream of it in the future. You are
only sure of today; do not let
yourself be cheated out of it.
Henry Ward Beecher.
3. Today is here. I will start with
a smile and resolve to be
agreeable. I will not criticize. I
refuse to waste my valuable
time.

4. Thtee Roads influence
mankind:
. The service road"Jericho
._. The sorrow rad"via Dolorosa
. The road of divine
fellowship"Emmaus Road
5. ALCOHOL: Some of the most
dreadful mischiefs that afflict
mankind proceed from wine; it is
the cause of disease, quarrels,
sedition, idleness, aversion to
labor, and every species of
domestic accord.
6. AMBITION: Keep away from
people who try to belittle your
ambitions. Small people always
do that, but the really great make
you feel that you, too, can become
great.
7. Keep your feet on the ground,
but let your heart soar as high as
it will. Refuse to be average or to

By Beatrice Maye
~surrender to the chill of your
spiritual environment.
8. CHRISTIAN LIVING: Faith
makes a Christian.
Life proves a Christian.
Trial confirms a Christian.
Death crowns a Christian.
9. The Christian is a person who
makes it easy for others to
believe in God.
10. Little pots soon boil over.
11. People are lonely because
they build walls instead of
bridges.
12. A manTs treatment of money
is the most decisive test of his
character"how he makes it and
how he spends it.
13. In seventeen of His thirty-
seven parables, Jesus dealt with
property and manTs responsibili-
ty for using is wisely.
14. Inspiration without perspira-
tion leads to frustration and
stagnation.
15. Prayer without work is like an
empty wagon"lots of noise but
no load.
16. SELFISHNESS: Whenever
you are selfishy looking out for
your own interest, you have only
one person working for you"
yourself. When you help a dozen
other people with their problems,
you have a dozen people working
with you.

The Ten Commandments for Parents
1. I will appreciate my children
for who they are, not for who I
want them to be.
2. I will relate to each child as
an individual, instead of as ~~the
kidTT,
3. I will take good care of
myself as a person, and not live
my life through my children.
4. I will acknowledge each and
every little acceptable behavior,
not just the ~~biggiesTT.

must say something.6n every
subject and on every. Occasion.
Release me from craving to try
to straighten out ever *s
affairs. ves
Keep my mind free from the
recital of endless details, Give me
wings to get to the point.
I ask for grace enough to listen
to the tales of otherTs pains. Help
me to endure them with patience.
But seal my lips on my own aches
and pains. They are increasing
and my love of rehearsing them
is becoming sweeter as the years
go by.
Teach me the glorious lesson
that occasionally it is possible
that I may be mistaken.
Keep me reasonably sweet; I
do not want to be asaint.. .. some
of them are so hard to live with
. .. but a sour old person is one
of the crowning works of the
devil.
Make me thoughtful but not
moody; helpful but not bossy.
With my vast store of wisdom, it
seems a pity not to use it all, but
Thou knowest, Lord, that I want
a few friends at the end.

Life... thrilling © st
... fearful
frustrating
it
... Challenging. . .
By Carolyn Laughinghouse
Life can be described as thrill-
ing, frustrating, intensifying,
magnificient, challenging and
fearful.
Times comes when there is no
way out, but through it all comes
that break.
That opening to success takes
you a step forward. Hey all you
have to do is to put one foot for-
ward. Make up your mind and go.
The one thing that can stop
your success is ~You.T
The mind has to correspond
with the I can, will and do
method. You have got to tell
yourself; there is no stopping me
now! But you have to be tough
and determined.
You have to stand up and fight
for what you want.
Your personality is the one key.
Remember!! ItTs nice to be im-
portant .but itTs important to be
nice.
Your key to making it, is strug-
gling and striving to survive.
You have to go in the world and
through it with the look and the
feelings of ITm going to do it, oNo
matter what!�
Your well-being plays an im-
portant part of how you are going
to be on top of any situation that
faces you.
You feel like you look. (Exam-
ple!) Your ways andT actions
always speak louder than words.
You have to keep a positive
mind in most cases. If you should
fail at first goals attemp-
ted...remember . donTt give up.
Just keep trying. Hold on and
hope for the best of the matter.
Life is filled with so many sur-
prises. Yet you have to be
prepared for any of that decides
to come your way.
You always feel the respon-
sibilities of providing for
yourself.
To have someone by your side
to help you along and praise you
for the good you have done.
This always makes you want to
keep on doing well.
The Staff of The ~MT Voice

Negro Action: There are two
groups of Negroes working to
present the Negro viewpoint. The
oldest of these is the United Pitt
County CitizensT League which is
the chartered unit of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People in the County.
This is a loosely knit group of
Negroes which primarily spon-
sors the annual Emancipation
Proclamation Day on January 1.
The second group is the Pro-
gressive CitizensT Council. This

group was organized several
years ago to act as a political in-
strument for the Negro. Its first
aim was to elect a Negro to the
City Council, the group turned its
full attention to civil rights, utiliz-
ing its well-established organiza-
tion with representatives from
nearly every Negro group in the
community. This Council has
made all the petitions to white
groups dealing with civil rights.
On Sunday in October, 1963, a
group from Williamston
demonstrated in Greenville in
protest over the housing of some
of their demonstrators in the Pitt
County jail. This was without
incident.

Vet Center helps
Vietnam veterans
The Pitt County Vet Center is
located on 150 Arlington Blvd.,
Suite B in Greenville. The Vet
Center was established by Con-
gress in 1979 out of the recogni-
tion that a significant number of
Vietnam Era Veterans were still
experiencing lingering readjust-
ment problems associated with
their military duty during the
Vietnam Era (August 1964-May
1975). Funded through
September 1988, Vet Centers na-
tionwide see an average of 6500
veterans each month, most who
have never previously sought
help for Vietnam-related
difficulties.
Vet Centers are the communi-
ty based arms of the Veterans
AdministrationTs Readjustment
Counseling Service. Their goal is
to provide a broad range of
counseling, outreach and referral
services to the veterans of the
Vietnam Era in order to help
them make a satisfying post war
readjustment to civilian life.
We all know that veterans take
a lot of pride in helping each
other. If you or your organization
are interested in helping at the
Vet Center, please given them a
call. The office is open daily from
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and evenings
and weekends by appointment.
Call (919)355-7920 for more
information.

Hines is newly crowned |
Homecoming Queen at
East Carolina University
Math and music are the major
interests of the newly-crowned
Homecoming Queen for 1987 at
East Carolina University,
Kimberly Latrice Hines.
The 19-year-old accounting ma-
jor from Rocky Mount played the
clarinet in her high school band
and sings in the 90-member ECU
Gospel Choir. So music is an im-
portant part of her life.
oIn accounting,TT she says,
o~you have to have a good begin-
ning to be able to understand it at
a higher level. Maybe music is
like that.�T
Now a sophomore at ECU,
Miss Hines was chosen to repre-
sent the Gospel Choir as a can-
didate for the universityTs
Homecoming Queen for the se-
cond consecutive year. In 1986,
another Gospel Choir represen-
tative, Tonja Howell of Fort
Washington, Md., was elected
Homecoming Queen at ECU but
Kimberly Hines also was
nominated.
When her election was an-
nounced at halftime of the
Homecoming Day football game
in Ficklen Stadium, oI was pret-
ty well estatic,TT Kimberly says.
oIt was an honor to be nominated
again.� From among the 35 girls
chosen as representatives of stu-
dent groups, the field was nar-
rowed to a list of eight finalists
who made up the Homecoming
court.
Miss Hines is the daughter of a
Rocky Mount minister. Her
mother is a teacherTs aide. She
has two younger sisters and a
younger brother.
She became interested in ac-
counting as a career while still in
high school while taking business
courses. ~~ItTs more difficult and
challenging in college,� she says.
oI expected that. ItTs hard work
but I feel that it will pay off.�
Her ambition is to be a certified
public accountant (CPA)
someday.
Choosing East Carolina
University for her college educa-
tion was easy, she says. oItTs a
good school, and the School of
Business is one of the best
anywhere. Also, East Carolina is
big enough, not too big but not too
small either. I love ECU. ItTs a
school you can relate to.�
When her accounting
assignments become tedious and
other classwork heavy, Kimber-
ly escapes the tension by turning
to music. She rehearses once
weekly with the Gospel Choir, or
relaxes in her residence hall
room or the student centerTs
music room listening to music.
oMostly jazz and gospel,TT she
says
vance of Christmas.
