WE TVE COME A LONG WAY
BY: DEACON JAMES VINES
As I came closer to the street
where all the comotion was, I
could see a large crowd of people
gathered in the street. I met an
old lady coming from the crowd
and she was hysterical wringing
her hands and trying to talk. I
just couldn Tt understand what she
was saying, but I did figure out
that she was trying to tell me how
horrible the situation was. I took
her by the arm and led her to the
front porch of a house not far
from where the incident had hap-
pened. After she had gotten
herself together she finally began
to talk so that I could understand
her. So I left her and went up to
the crowd and as I pushed my
way through the crowd to get a
better look, I could see smoke
coming from the windows and
doors of the house. I came close
to a cousin of mine who was there
and ask her what had happened,
and she told me that they were
shooting tear gas in the lady Ts
house trying to make her come
out, but she still insisted that she .
had done no wrong and was not
coming out. I later found out that
someone had called the police
and told them that she had a gun
ni cmsumanens
and was shooting at every one
that past the street, and when the
police arrived they never stopped
to investigate to see if she really
did have a gun. After she
wouldn Tt come out the police con-
tinued to shoot tear gas through
the windows. After about five
minutes they began to shoot in
the window and doors until she
decided to come out. As she open-
ed the door she had something in
her hand that one of the officers
said was a gun, which turned out
to be a large silver spoon. I push-
ed my way through the crowd un-
til I was just about to the front of
the house where I could see
everything that was going on, but
what I saw I wished I had gone
another way. It was a pitiful sight
to see the way the officers were
dragging her out of the house and
across the yard where they let
her lay there dying and in very
much pain. I watched as long as
I could and then I turned and ran
back home to tell my mother but
she had heard what was going on
and was on her way down there
to see for herself. I kept going and
was so sick in my stomach after
seeing a seventy year old women
laying out there and nobody could
do anything about it. We didn Tt
have any kind of organizations to
help us, so whatever happened to
colored folk then was just done
and kept down to keep it here and
keep it quite. If you happen to
speak out about how we were
treated it would be hard to get a
job or anything to keep your
family going. After all of this and
other acts of violence were made
against us we decided to do the
only thing that was left for us to
do and that was to unite in
prayer.
For the next five or six weeks
things were very sad for all of us
who were there to witness sucha
terrible sight, and every one of us
was afraid to be seen on the street
after dark, because of the curfew
that the Chief of Police had
issued. This is our final chapter
of ~ ~We Tve Come a Long Way, �
until after the book by the same
name has been published. I would
like to thank all of you who have
read the tru and real life story
and we do hope that you will be
sure to buy the book.
It Ts time for Black Americans to act! City razes safety hazards
In the heady days of the T60s
and T70s there weren Tt enough
black conservatives to get a
game of pinochle going. Black
conservatives are still nothing to
write home about, but their num-
bers are on the upswing. Conser-
vatism may not be the ultimate
philosophical home for blacks, but
it Ts a fairly safe bet it won Tt be
liberalism. Liberalism has done
more harm to blacks that one-
time Georgia Gov. Lester
~ Maddox, Mississippi's Theodore
Bilbo, who wanted to deport all
black Americans, and all the
Klansmen could have ever done.
Let Ts look at it. The liberal
philosophy that criticized chaste
sex mores had its most devastat-
ing impact on blacks, having
given up traditional values, where
black teen illegitimacy was once
lower than whites (1918), and total
black illegitimacy was 13 percent
(1939), today Ts black illegitimacy
is 55 percent. Kids living in two-
parent families are down to less
than 50 percent whereit once stood
at 85 percent.
Criminal coddling is another
component of liberal philoso-
phy; ithas made life a nightmare
for many blacks, Murder is the
chief cause of death for young
black males. In some black neigh-
borhoods, people don Tt dare go
near their windows, or they sleep
on the floor for fearof being hit by
stray bullets. In some neighbor-
hoods, delivery menandtelephone
repairmen refuse to service Cus-
tomers or demandescortsfor fear
of robbery and assault. There Ts
the mass destruction of public
telephones, parks, swimming
pools, and other amenities im-
portant to poor people who may
not be able to afford private
phones, or visit national parks, or
swim at country clubs.
The same liberals blessed the
nation with widespread drug us-
age. Those who argued against
LSD, marijuana, and cocaine
were portrayed as cranks and
pariahs interfering with good
clean fun. Laughter and ridicule
greeted the person who suggested
these drugs might lead to addic-
tion. Now drugs are in, They;ve
had their worst effect on blacks,
turning youths into rap-talking
zombies and pushers, and black
neigh yds into Beiruts.
Liberals virtually destroyed
any chances for black academic.

teachers and fellow students, and
have a contentless curriculum.
Today, large numbers of black
students cannot begin to meet
academic qualifications for ad-
mittance to colleges. But not to
worry, liberals attacked college
tests and academic standards as
racist.
It Ts high time that blacks real-
ize that many politicians, judges,
police, and school authorities hold
contempt for their right to live
normal, peaceful, productive
lives. Black politicians, ~ ~leaders, � T
and civilrights organizations have
sold us a bill of goods rotten goods,
double-talk, and unconscionable
deceit. For example, they fight
tooth and nail against proposals
for tuition tax credits or school
vouchers to give parents an edu-**
cational choice for their children.
They say, let Ts save public schools
and not give up hope. Yet the good
Rev. Jesse Jackson, Del. Walter
Fauntroy (D-D.C.), and D.C.
Mayor Marion Barry, and others,
send their children to private
Blacks cannot depend on poli-
ticians. They must protect their
own neighborhoods, even if that
means using violence to clean up
drug corners and crackhouses.
They must show up on school
premises to mete out instant jus-
tice to miscreants. ~ ~Williams, � T
yousay, ~ ~that sounds like vigilan-
tism. � T Well, Isay: What doyoudo
when established legal authori-
ties refuse to do their job just sit
and take it? And for how long?
City. crews today demolished a
five-room wooden house on Flem-
ing Street under a City Council �
ordeg, which found the structure
i. efrous afid prejudicial to the
public health and public safety T.
The demolotion was the second
following a May 11 decision by
the Council to remove dilapidated
structures no longer fit for
habitation. The owners, the John
Langley heirs, had been ordered
to repair or raze the building at
1002 Fleming Street. When Ithe
owners failed to act, the city
manager ordered Greenville Ts
Public Works Department to
bulldoze the house. The heirs will
be billed for demolition and, fail-
ing to pay, will have a lien plac-
ed against the property so City
taxpayers are repaid.
Making Your Dream A Reality
Black Americans have long
been short on patience. This is
particularly true when it comes to
owning a business. Corporate
mergers, stock market fraud, the
instability of the Savings and
Loans Industry have brought this
nation to the brink of financial
bankruptcy. It is small wonder
that the vast majority feel that a
weekly or monthly paycheck is
far more appealing than the un-
certainty of self-employment.
The Small Business Administra-
tion estimates that eighty percent
BY ARCHIE A. HARDING
of all beginning businesses fail. A
high percentage of these failures,
they conclude, is due to under-
capitalization - that is, insufficient
funds to conduct business effec-
tively, This, I agree may well be
true on the national level, but the
death of most Black- Owned busi-
nesses can be attributed to the
absence of enthusiasm and per-
sistence.
I have had the opportunity to
study the deeds of men both great
and small. I have discovered that
the main ingredient that separates
greatness from mediocrity is en-
thusiasm and persistence. Cur-
rently, there are more than one
hundred Black-owned businesses
in Beaufort County. Some are less
than one year old; (The Christian
Gift Shop on Main Street), others
have existed for more than a half
a century; (Randolph Funeral
Home). Enthusiasm and persis-
tence has Played or will play a
key role in their success or failure
rate.

2. Conviction. It has a clear-cut
set of values that it transmits to
the next generation.
3. Affirmation. It provides a lot

children, but children to parents,
and children to children.

for other people. "
8. Initiative: A healthy family is
not turned in on itself. It seeks to
minister outside of itself and to
become involved with society.

18. Control Is Learned. Gener-

way they have learned torespond.
In the heat of anger, aggressive
children cannot think of any other
way torespond than with hostility
and fighting. It rarely helps to
simply tell an angry child just to
stop...it Ts far more helpful to of-
fer analternative. Inother words,
we can be taught to control our
response to anger. Acceptable
responses are learned within the
family and in social situations. in

Child T. Michael Schulman and
Eva Mekler advise o ~teaching your
child certain realities of every-

the following:
1, Other people don Tt exist just
to satisfy your every whim.
2. If someone harms you it Ts
important to know whether it was
done
intentionally or not.
3. There will be times when we
cannot have what we want be-
cause someone else has equal
claim to it, or because it will in-
fringe on the rights or well-being
of others. .
4, While it is natural to get
annoyed, try toput yourself inthe
other person Ts place. It Ts noteasy
but it might help.
5. Humor Helps. ~ ~Once as a
child, when I was enjoying a sul-
len and irritable mood, my father
insisted I accompany him to an
afternoon of Charlie Chaplin
movies. There I learned that you
cannot maintain a sullen mood
when you are laughing out loud T � T,

6. Anger is often a bitter, divi-
sive, difficult emotion for all con-
* cerned. Humor isn Tt always ap-
propriate, but sometimes it can
help ease tensions,

ALLY SYNDICATED COLUMNe
Blacks can help Dinkins by being cool
Although Iam not a Democrat,
I have a great interest in the
Democratic race for mayor of New
York because of its impact on
Blacks nationwide.
One in 10 Blacks (3.2 million)
in America live in the New York
metropolitan area, the Census
Bureauannouncedrecently. That
fact alone makes David Dinkins T
run for mayor of particular sig-
nificance.
As a Black man, Dinkins T
strategists have had to be ever
mindful of race and racism ina
city that has become in recent
years more notorious than Ala-
bama and Mississippi for racially
driven incidents.
Dictators are not welcome here!!
Sese Seko Mobutu, the self-
appointed president-for-life of
Zaire (formerly known as the
Congo), arrived in New York City
last week en route to Washington,
DC where he was scheduled to
meet with President George Bush.
Dozens of protesters were wait-
ing at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
where Mobutu was staying inNew
York to let this vicious dictator
and abuser of human rights know
that he was not welcome here!
The protest was supported by a
broad range of student organiza-
tions, long-time anti-Mobutu and
anti apartheid activist groups,
grassroots citizens T lobbies, com-
munity organizations and others
concerned with the struggle for
democracy here, and around the
world; they included the US-Congo
Friendship Committee, the All-
African Peoples Revolutionary
Party, the New Alliance Party,
the Rainbow Lobby the Patrice
Lumumba Coalition and the
American Arab Relations Com-
mittee, which are leading the
grassroots moyement that is
coming to oppose this greedy ty-
rant whocame to power a quarter
of a century her after collaborat-
ing with the CIA to assassinate
Patrice Lumumba, the father of
Congolese independence.
The hero Ts welcome given to
Mobutu by the President of the
United States was a profound in-
sult to the Black people of this
country and to our African sisters
and brothers. We should not be
surprised by it; insults to the
African American community
come natural to the white su-
premacist leaders of both the
major parties. But the complicity
of some among our official Black
leadership in the scheme to make
an international peacemaker out
of a murderous thug such as Sese
Seko Mobutuis nothing less thana
betrayal of Black people every-
where.
Last fall this ally of apartheid
hosted an official visit to Zaire
from P.W. Botha, the prime min-
ister of South Africa; when Zairian
students took to the streets of .
Kinshasa, the capital, to protest
this despicable act, they are shot
down in cold blood by Mobuto Ts
soldiers.
This gunrunner has allowed
Zaire to be used as a conduit for
the arms that the United States
supplies to the contras of Angola,
Jonas Savimbi Ts South African/
US-subsidized UNITA mercenar-
ies, in their 14 year effort to bring
down the popular MPLA govern-
ment of Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
Now Mobutuis being promoted by
the White House as the elder
statesmen of Africa, a peace-lov-
ing friend of democracy who is
ly bringing the 14
year old Angolan ocivil war T toan
end. Nothing couldbe further from
the truth.
The myth which the corporate-
owned media are helping to pro-
moteis partof anelaborate public
relations now underway
to clean up to Ts image so
can go on serving as the
t man for US policy in south-
& RUE AD this dictator into a
t. And no movement of
wrpet can cover up the trail
and Kinshasa to
One news report says that the
Dinkins strategy is cautious and
conservative: solidify his base
among Blacks, union members,
White liberals and Hispanics who
voted for Jesse Jackson in 1988.
Then he must go after enough
moderate Jewish voters and White
Catholics oto
win 40 percent of the primary
vote needed to avoid a run off...
Dinkins would win easily if he
received 75 percent of the Black
vote, 50 percent of the Hispanic
vote and 25 percent of the White
vote, � speculated The New York
Times.
Race and racism are given in
today Ts New York. Even the
numbers tell the story. A poll
showed that 37 percent of regis-
tered Democrats will vote for
Dinkins and 24 percent for Mayor
Edward Koch. But ina one-on-one
with Mayor Edward Koch, Dink-
ins gets 32 percent of the White
vote while Koch carries 46 per-
cent (only 14 percent of Blacks
are for Koch).
But Black and White New
Yorkers do agree on one thing;
they see drugs and crime as the
number one and two problems
respectively. Dinkins should see
this finding as the possible solu-
tion to the race problem that is
almost inevitable.
~As racial tension builds, both
Blacks and Whitesare more likely
to vote for people of their own
»* eommented a White politi-
tant. That means that
the first full-blown controversy
over Black anti-Semitism or a
violent incidentof a Black against
a White during the hot, summer
months could devastate Dinkins T
chances.
Dinkins can Tt control that fac-
tor because some fool somewhere
is going to do something foolish.
Therefore, to move the focus away
from race (and racism), Dinkins
should concentrate on drugs a
legitimate concern and equally
devastating to all racial and so-
cio-economic groups.
The magnitude of the problem
is staggering and obvious to ev-
eryone, it seems, but the politi-
cians. In 1985, only four percent of
New Yorkers said that drugs
shouldbe the number one concern
for the mayor, This year, 37 per-
cent feel that way. Crime is a
distant second at about 25 per-
cent.
Dinkins could penetrate this
fertile market by explaining that
while Whites generally regard
drugs as a Black problem, drug
usage is more prevalent among
This Way For Black Empowerment
man Ron Dellums has introduced
H.R. 1899, which would cut off US
aid to the Mobutu regime until
there is some improvement in
Zaire Ts abysmal human rights
situation.
Iam glad to say thata majority
of Mr. Dellums T colleagues in the
Congressional Black Caucus sup-
port this very crucial legislation.
I am ashamed and angry to say
that notall of them do. Some of our
establishment Black leadership
are lending their names and influ-
ence to perpetrate the myth that
this traitor is an African hero.
Congressman Mervyn Dymally of
California, Mobuto Ts best friend
on Capitol Hill, is a case in point.
He continues to lead the opposi-
tion to H.R. 1899.
But the groundswell of grass-
roots opposition to Mobutu is
beginning to have an effect. So
far, despite the efforts of his apolo-
gists, he has been successfully
kept out of the African American
community. A scheduled visit to
Los Angeles in March " stage
managed by Mr. Dymally and a
circle of African American busi-
nesspeople, with Mayor Tom
Bradley poised to serve as
Mobuto Ts official host " was
abruptly calledoff. More recently
James Usry, the mayor of Atlan-
tic City, New Jersey and the presi-
dent of the National Conference of
Black Mayors, backed out of a
long-planned, all-expense-paid
trio to Zaire with the excuse that
he had a prior commitment to
judge the Miss Tennessee beauty
pageant! And Mayor Marion
Barry of Washington also bowed
to pressure from the growing anti-
Mobutu movement " without
acknowledging it "and explained
that the reception he had been
planning to give for Mobutu last
Sunday was being canceled be-
cause the Zairian dictator was
needed in Africa to continue his
peacemaking efforts.
The walls of Jericho are begin-
ning to crumble; they have not
fallen yet. We have achieved a
clear victory in making Mobutu
persons non grata in the Black
community. But when he returned
to Kinshasa he did not leave
empty-handed. No doubt he and
Whites. And Blacks could be |
appealed to on the basis that they
are more frequently the victims
of crime which is drug related.
These twoissues, properly articu-
lated, will appeal to 62 percent of
the voters and avoid the entrap-
ment of racism.

The Real Congressional
| Corruption
By: Walter E. Williams
I really get tired of all the na-
tional focus on the cloud of sleaze
and corruption surrounding for-
mer House Speaker Jim Wright.
It Ts like fiddling while Rome
burns. The harm that members of
Congress do to the nation, operat-
ing inthe shadows, is no match for
what they do to us in the full light
of day.
The Dallas-based National
Center for Policy Analysis re-
cently issued a report titled ~ ~The
Elderly "People the Supply-Side
Revolution Forgot. � While our
nation has a shortage of percent
of all women 65 and over are
completely retired. If just one-

DR. LENORA FULANI
Mr. Bush renewed the contract
that makes Sese Seko Mobutu
among the highest paid agents on
the payroll of U.S. imperialism.
We need to keep the pressure up.
I am calling on all of the Black
leaders to let this dictator know
that he is not welcome here. The
African American community is
insulted by his pressure, and we
are outraged that anyone claim-
ing to represent Black people
would dare to honor him.
Dr. Lenora Fulani is the national
chairperson of the New Alliance
Party and a practicing Social
Therapist in Harlem. She can be

third of the male retirees reen-
tered the labor force and earned
as little as $5 per hour, the gross
national product (GNP) wouldrise
by $55 billion; and if just one-third
of the women retirees accompa-
nied them, the GNP would in-
crease by $132 billion.
Social security and our taxstruc-
ture go a long way toward ex-
plaining this disgraceful waste of
valuable human resources. When
Congress created social security
in 1935, only one-third of those over
60 were retired. Beginning in 1956,
people were allowed to opt for
early retirement. By 1961, only 16
percent of all social security re-
cipients were early retirees com-
pared to 66 percent in 1985.
Congress has given the elderly
a tax incentive to leave the
workforce as well. As of 1988,
social security recipients between
the ages of 62 and 64 are counted
as retired if they earn $6,480 or
less; if they are 65 to 70, that
number rises to $8,800. If recipi-
ents earn more, they lose $1 in
social security benefits for each
$2 earned "a 50% marginal tax
rate.
As if that Ts not bad enough, last
year Congress expanded Medi-
care to include catastrophic bene-
fits. Under this new law, all in-
come tax payers 65 and over will
havetopaya 15 percent surcharge
to Medicare next April. Congress
is being nice this year. The sur-
charge limit is $800 per retiree, or
$2,100 per couple. That Ts on top of
the ;$383 retirees now pay in
Medicare premiums, whichis also
destined to increase in the future.
Don Tt you want to regurgitate
when congressmen preach about
making American more competi-
tive?
What Congress is doing to the
elderly and our country is a dis-
grace, but we asked for it. French

LOS ANGELES- "The o ~wilding T T attack
on a jogger in New York's Central Park
has prompted much bemoaning of the
ioral indecency in American inner cities.
George Will, for one, grimly prognosti-
cated the fate of ~ ~a society that flinches
from the fact of evil," T while the Los Ange-
les Times's syndicated columnist William
Pfaff wrote despairingly of the ~moral
void ... where too many people in the
United States today exist." These commen-
tators apparently haven't heard the des-
perate cry for law and order from the un-
derclass of Los Angeles.
Compton, Watts, and other communities
in the vast sweep of South Central Los An-
yeles have been torn apart by gang war-
fare. Fatalities are accumulating at the
rate of six or eight a week. The death toll
sets new records each year. Most of the
péople living in the crime-ridden neighbor-
hoods haven't flinched for a minute from
the fact that what is going on around them
is evil. Judging from their letters to the ed-
itor of the Los Angeles newspapers, the
slogans they chant at rallies, and their rou-
tinely overwhelming o ~yes T T votes on police
taxes and anti-crime measures, the people
caught in the gangs T crossfire want more
cops on the streets and want to give crimi-
nals a much harder time.
Diverging Reactions
To be sure, the black leadership in Los:
Angeles doesn't always reflect the black
community's attitude toward crime. Take
Don Jackson, a L.A. area police officer on
permanent disability leave because of the
stress he says was caused by racism in his
department. He has attempted to prove his
allegations of routine racist brutality in

=
Tre
a black women's civic association, in a let-
ter to the Los Angeles Herald Examiner in
March. ~These same black leaders have
yet to call a town meeting on the number
of black females who are raped, robbed,
beaten and murdered . . . by violent black
predators in a continuous and ongoing ho-
locaust that no one [has] dared [to] speak
out against. �
Maybe the black leadership hasn't
dared to speak out. But ordinary black
people have spoken loudly and repeatedly
in favor of tougher action against crime.
hoods covered by those sweeps seem to be
the biggest "and most stubborn "fans of
the mass police sweeps launched with
much fanfare a year ago. The police at-
tempt to arrest suspected gang members
of any possible offense, from drug or
weapon possession to jaywalking. Because
the jails and the court system can Tt handle
the huge haul of petty offenders dragged
in by the sweeps, the police are now rely-
ing more on surgical strikes against gang
leaders, preferably in conjunction with fed-
eral agents so that the cases can be filed in

impromptu March of 100 people in Febru-
ary through the streets of Compton a few
days after a two-year-old boy was gunned
down nearby.
Another mother in South Central Los
Angeles last year, in response to an opin-
ion piece in the Herald Examiner, bitterly
rebuked those who complain that anti-gang
tactics are infringing cherished rights. The

pense of the Constitution, � was written by

the relatively efficient federal courts.
The people of South Central Los Ange-
les, however, want more sweeps and have
mounted sporadic petition drives to call
in the National Guard. Black voters in
South Central Los Angeles have demon-
strated repeatedly that they are the most
pro-police constituency in the city. Twice
in the past eight years, South Central
voters have approved police taxes by ma-
jorities topping 70%. But these revenue-
raising measures have been shot down by
voters in conservative white districts. It
even looked for a while in 1987 as though
programs, a move that is expected to put
several thousand young offenders back out
on the streets. As a practical matter, that
means the myriad minor crimes that are
most common and that do most to spread a
sense of lawlessness through a commu:
nity "vandalism, petty theft, juvenile drug
and weapon possession "are simply unpun-
ishable.
Far too often, the people of South Cen-
tral Los Angeles have been thanked for
their pro-police convictions by police insen-
sitivity and sometimes outright brutality.
Among the recent cases of police miscon-
duct, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department
has confirmed that deputies have burned
crosses in the jail wings housing black
gang members "surely not the sort of
tough tactic many blacks in Los Angeles
have been seeking. And the Long Beach
police chief, after a ~ ~sting T T of his own, re-
cently confirmed what blacks in his city
have long complained about: some officers
do not file, as they are obliged to, com-
plaints of police misconduct phoned in by
citizens,
The NAACP Comes Around
And finally, the people in South Central
Los Angeles have too often been betrayed
by their own leaders. The Los Angeles
chapter of the NAACP, for example, clung
for years to the view that crime was
caused primarily by racial discrimination,
and was therefore not worth much of the
group's attention. Until recently, NAACP
officials would respond ono comment T T to
questions from reporters about the gang
violence that was taking hundreds of black
lives. In the face of the increasing vio-
lence "and ever louder and more desper-
ate calls for protection from it " the
NAACP has finally come around,

Qualifying for a loan
By Robert A. Rowell
First of four parts
If you are in the market for a new home and are seeking a mortgage,
you are not alone. In 1988, there were more than 4 million homes purchased in
the United States.
Before obtaining a mortgage loan, it is helpful to have
an overall knowledge of the loan qualification process,
loan types and products, loan product terminology and to
know key questions to ask a lender.
This month Ts column is about loan qualification, and the
other topics will be covered in the next three columns.
The Loan Qualification Process
Each lender uses standard criteria in the mortgage loan
qualification process. Although the process may vary hh.
slightly from one loan to another, the ratio method fre-
quently is used to determine the amount of mortgage you Robert A. Rowell
can afford. This method compares income and expenses. There are two ratios
to consider.
The first is the front ratio, which is housing expenses divided by gross monthly
income. Your monthly housing expenses include mortgage payment (principal
and interest), real estate taxes and insurance. These payments of principal,
interest, taxes and insurance are known as the PITI payment. The front ratio
normally should not exceed 28 percent.
The other ratio to consider is the back ratio, defined as monthly ob! igations
divided by gross monthly income. Monthly obligations include the PITI pay-
ment, car payments, credit card payments and any personal loan payments. As
a rule, your back ratio should not exceed 36 percent.
Here is an example of how these ratios work:
Scott is a salesman and earns $35,000 annually. His wife, Jennie, works as an
accountant and earns $25,000 annually. Their combined total annual income
is $60,000.
veil $60,000
Monthly Gross Income = 12 months = $5,000
$5,000 x 28 percent = $1,400 allowable for the PITI payment
$5,000 x 36 percent = $1,800 allowable for the PITI payment
and all monthly obligations.
In summary the above couple qualifies for a house payment of up to $1,400,
the lower of the two amounts.

Will the elderly have a moral
response to what Congress has
done? I seriously doubt it. Led by
the American Association of Re-
tired Persons (AARP), who got
them into this mess in the elderly
will demand all the benefits in-
volved in Social Security while
attempting toforce somebody else
to foot the bill, l
The elderly fail to realize that
their grandchildren, the very
grandchildren they smother with
love and generosity, will be the
ultimate victims of the Social
Security grab bag. That grand-
child being bounced on grandpa Ts
knee will spend a large portion of
his working life paying social
security taxes that may well ex-
ceed $10,000 a year in today Ts dol-
lars. When these children eventu-
ally retire, social security bene-
fits will either be nonexistent or
taxed at confiscatory rates.
The only long-term solution to
the social security mess is to pri-
vatize retirement so we will not
renege on the government prom-
ise given to today Ts retirees. But
in my estimation, that requires
the kind of political courage, hon-
esty, and wisdom that is in short
supply today. We Td rather focus
our energies on the petty comings
and goings of scoundrels like Jim
Wright while they, with complic-
ity, weaken and possibly destroy
our nation. I Tm beginning to think
we may deserve what we Tre get-
ting "but doour children and their
children?

dren. Be consistent and steadfast
in your discipline. Make sure your
kids have a good strong relation-
ship with God. Ultimately, they
will be a separate individual from
you. At that point you will know if
you've raised a good child. �

Faith And
Works
In the 11th chapter of Hebrews
and the 2nd chapter of James, the
all important nature and function
of faith is emphasized. There
have been many definitions of
faith. One thing is certain; man
does not have the choice of
whether or not to live by faith. he
has only the option of choosing to
live by faith in God or a faith in
superstition. Thus we do not find
faith, WE USE IT. Man is born a
bundle of faith. We have only to
look at little children to see be-
ings with the greatest of faith. As
we grow older we often bury that
faith under our fears. Rather
than living by our faith, we live
by our doubts and as a result, our

| : In 1974, The New York Times |
featured Kennedy and N.C. Mutual 4
as a of a business section cover "
Taking out a yellowing of the
m his briefcase, Kennedy
spoke of N.C. Mutual's growth.
an 1974, the company had $1.7
billion worth of insurance in force, �
he said. oWe now have $9 billion. We
had assets of $136 million in 1974
compared with assets now of $220
million. We had a premium volume
of about $33 million which is now at
$80 million.
oWe have continued to grow and
develop as a life insruance com-
pany. I think it has been a fantastic
growth period, � he said of the past
15 years.
Also during the past 15 years,
Kennedy has been listed as one of
Ebony magazine Ts 100 most influen-
tial blacks in the United States.
He holds a master Ts degree from
the Wharton School of Business and
a master Ts degree from New York

= Sod a seems to bother most people
is that while we all live by faith,
- using automatically a thousand
times a day, when it comes to us-
ing faith consciously we shrink
back. This happens because we
do not really believe that this is
God Ts world. When Jesus said,
oExcept your faith be that as of

attention to the fact that while
adults argue about God, THE

THE PRESIDENT COMES TO TOWN ..
North Carolina
Mutual Insurance president and chief executive officer was in
town honoring some of its top agents. Shown above is Mr.
Kennedy, Greenville Ts Mayor Ed Carter, and District Man-
ager, Willie Hampton. Below is award winning agents.
William J. Kennedy III, president
and chief executive officer of North
Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
yisited the firm Ts district office, 1209
W. 14th St., as part of a 12-month
tour of the company Ts 28 district of-
fices.
- oIt Ts been a while since I Tve been
to Greenville, � said the 66-year-old
Durham native. ~ ~I feel that the peo-
ple who work for a company need to
see its chief executive occasionally
and ask me any questions they
might have on the operation of the
pompany. �
Kennedy, who has been involved
with N.C. Mutual for 39 years, said
the competition for the life in-
surance dollar has increased
dramatically in the past several
years.
- oLife insurance is now being sold
on a mass marketing basis which
was unheard of 20 years ago, � Ken-
nedy said. ~ ~There are newspaper in-
serts to contact companies directly
and television programs which are
encouraging people to buy life in-
surance directly from the company
without going through an agent.
. oThe agents are facing these new
problems of competition as well as
competition from the agents of other
companies, � he said.
In order to combat the toughening
market conditions, Kennedy said he
advises agents to remeber that ser-
vice is the key.
oWe have to maintain a high level
of service if we are going to compete
in this present environment, � he
said. ~We are telling the agents that
our products are being upgraded
constantly and that we are com-
petitive with other companies . in
terms of price. T
oLife insurance is never bought "
it is sold, � Kennedy explained. oYou
can advertise as much as you want
but there has to be somebody there
to show the policy holder the need
that they have. And when the need is
established, to offer the customer |
the products to fulfill those needs. �
N.C. Mutual Life Insurance Com-
pany, based in Durham, has been
fulfilling people Ts life insurance
needs since its founding in 1898.
Kennedy said that since its incep-
tion, the company has been unique
in that it has operated with primari-
ly Afro-American personnel.
The company has continued to
thrive, althogh in recent ) sars many
white-managed companies have

markets which were once N.C.
