killed but peace
is elusive in Liberia
Most Liberians are said to be
rejoicing over last Sunday Ts vio-
lent ouster of Samuel Kanyon
Doe, a ruthless dictator whom
they accused of plunging their
country into economic ruins,
tribal warfare and political up-
heaval.
Master Sergeant Doe who
once boasted he was superman
and that no bullet could harm
him, was hit in a hail of gun shot
blasts by rebel forces that almost
blew off both of his legs. He died
several hours later.
Sergeant Doe was captured
by rebel troops loyal to Prince
Johnson in a surprised attack
right under the nose of a five
West African nation peace
keeping force in Monrovia,
Liberia Ts capital.
But it is unclear how he died.
One report said he bled to death
from gun shot wounds. Another
report said he was either shot or
hacked to death following an
intense questioning concerning
the whereabouts of millions of
dollars he stole. He was also
Use a "family" day for doing things together
These days we're all so busy that
often there's precious little time
for getting family members to-
gether.
If this happens in your family,
try setting aside a period of time
each week that is convenient for
all of you. Then use that ofamily �
day or afternoon for doing some-
thing together. You might plan a
chess or checker tournament. Or
spend the time discussing current
events or special topics or telling
jokes.
Together, you could start a new
hobby, such as stamps, rock col-
lecting, or baseball cards. '
To help planning go more
smoothly, you might choose a
general topicof the day, you might
visit a train depot or an airport.
And if your family is energetic,
you might like to learn a new sport
or participate in a familiar one.
Perhaps jogging, hiking or nature
walks can become a family favor-
ite.
Panne
Keep family interests and needs
in mind as you try to plan any
family projects. And be sure to
think about the amount of time
you have tospendand the facilities
that might be available. A short
trip out of town may provide ad-
ditional education and fun activi-
ties such as Cliffs of the Neuse,
Maritime Museum, Tobacco Mu-
seum, or any park, train ride. Pack
a picnic and spend the day as a
family unit. These special little
trips or family outings will develop
into tremendous memories that
are everlasting.
Apply for retirement 3
months early
oPeople who plan to apply for
Social Security retirement benefits
or Medicare should start the ap-
plication process about three
moths ahead of time, � Paul Sasser,
Social Security manager in
Kinston, said today.
While most applications can be
completed very quickly, some
people will need extra time to lo-
cate necessary documents. In ad-
dition, months of Medicare cover-
age or cash benefits may be lost if
a person delays applying. Usually

Change proposed

The request posed by the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference to the Greenville City
Council is to change West Fifth
Street from Evans Street west to
Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.

zens murdered under his regime.
For weeks Sergeant Doe had
barricaded himself inside his
heavily fortified ;executive' utive
mansion, but decided last Sun-
day to come out and visit with
the head of the peace keeping
force when he was hit.
However, with Sergeant Doe
out of the picture, it is unclear
who is in charge. As of Septem-
ber 9, at least four persons have
laid claim to the presidency. They
include, Charles Taylor of the
national Patriotic Front.
Also Prince Johnson of the
Independent National Patriotic
Front, Dr. Amos Sawyer of the
Economic community of West
African States, and Gen. David
Nemley who said he was chosen
by Sergeant Doe Ts loyalists after
the corrupt dictator was cap-
tured.
However, none of these so-
called new presidents have been
recognized by a single country

been totally dismantled by a plot
that appears to have been or-

In a related development,
Tom Woweiyu, a spokesman for
Taylor's rebel faction said Mon-
day over the British Broadcast-
ing Corporation his group would
agree to negotiate with the war-
ring parties if the peace keeping
force sent into Liberia by
ECOWAS leaves the country.
Meanwhile, as of deadline
Tuesday, it was reported that
forces loyal to Johnson were con-
ducting an all out search in
Monrovia for supporters of Ser-
geant Doe, killing them as they
go along.
Woweiyu vowed that the
Taylor troops which control over
95 percent of the country, will
continue fighting until they ap-
parently capture parts of
Monrovia that are in the hands
of Johnson.

Judge
Hastings
Ousted U.S. District Court
Judge Alcee Hastings may be
down but he Ts not out. Not by a
longshot.
The first Black federal judge
to be impeached and removed
from office is headed for a Octo-
ber 2 Florida runoff against
frontrunner and former journal-
ist Jim Minter in the Democratic
race for secretary of state.
Hastings polled 306,686
votes in last week Ts primary
election to 349,462 for Minter.
He edged ex Ku-Klux Klansman
John Rogers for the runoff spot.
Rogers had 268,692.
~~And, although the odds
seems against the 54-year-old
Hastings, nobody is writing him
off. "
Simon Ferro, Florida Demo-
cratic chairman, says Hastings �
career is on the line, but ono
doubt, Alcee Hastings is a very
charismatic person...He Ts out
there hustling and speaks to the
issues. He Tll get a good number
of votes. � oThis proves Alcee still
had friends around the state of
Florida, � said former Democratic
chairman, Charles Whitehead.
oThere are many people that still
question the validity of the
charges against Alcee and many
who feel everybody Ts entitled to
one or two mistakes in their
lifetime. �
In his 1989 impeachment,
the U.S. Senate said Hastings
engaged in a ocorrupt conspiracy �
to get a $150,000 bribe. His
supporters then wore T-shirts
reading oNot Guilty, So Say We
All. � Political analysts said last
Tuesday Ts results hint forgive-
ness for Hastings and a sense he
was wrongly accused.
oI never sell Alcee Hastings
short, � said Van Poole, Florida
GOP chairman. oHe Ts a dynamic
person and a great orator, and
even though he Ts been im-
peached, I wouldn Tt count him
out. He makes any race, a lively
contest. �
Hastings is a dynamic
speaker with faithful support
among many black and white
voters. His name recognition
gives him an edge against runoff
foe, Minter. The winner faces
Republican incumbent, Jim
Smith.
Florida Democratic Party
Director, Alan Stonecipher, said
oit Ts conceivable � that Hastings
can win. oIt'll be different in the
general election campaign, � and
Whitehead pointed out that the
impeachment will inevitably
become an issue.
oBut Alcee is accustomed to
starting at the bottom of the hill
and climbing towards the top, �
he said.

_ dr. that transvered the different
communities in Greenville, not
just an all black area.
A street sign bearing King Ts
name could serve as a reminder
of how far Greenville has come
and how far the city has to go.
Let us remember Dr. King Ts vi-
sion of a world where race doesn Tt
matter, in his own words where
people owill not be judged by the
color of their skin but by the
content of their character. �
City establishes tree team
Citizens of Greenville will soon
be able to see results from a new
coordinated effort involving trees
in the City. The City of Greenville
has established a oTree Team � to
study tree issues in the city Ts ju-
risdiction. The team is made up of
four people - Environmental
Planner Donald Belk, Buildingand
Grounds Superintendent Ken
Jackson, Parks Superintendent
Walter Stasavich, and Jeff Byrd of
Greenville Utilities Commission.
The widening of Evans Street
is completed. Now that the miles
of pavement are down, it is time to
look at what goes beside the road.
Making Evans Street beautiful is
the responsibility of two different
groups. The NC Department of
Transportation will handle the
task from Greenville Boulevard to
Howell Street and the City of
Greenville will work from Howell
to 10th Streets. Greenville Ts
Community Appearance Commis-
sion (CAC) played a major role in
recommending the types of
greenery to be planted by DOT
along this section of roadway.
Crepe myrtles are scheduled to be
planted. The City Tree Team and
CAC will plan for the City-owned
section.
Because the existing public
right-of-away on Evans Street is
so narrow (from 7 to 10 feet),
planting of large shade trees will
not be possible. So the Tree Team
is looking at other alternatives.
The idea for the Tree Team
came out of a series of meetings
organized by Senior Planner Libby
Anderson. On June 14th the City
invited several otree experts � to
talk with city personnel and rep-
resentatives from local environ-
mental groups. The guests were
NC Urban Forester Tex
Kunselman, NC State University Ts
Dr. Jim McGraw, and Regional
Forester Jim Key. The experts rec-
ommended a more proactive and
coordinated effort by the City.
City Manager Ron Kimble ap-
pointed the Tree Team shortly
thereafter.

taining, planting and planning for
trees on public rights-of-way and

Pitt County Fair Broke All Records in T89 Seeks to Repeat Same in 1990
fairgrounds in the last 50 years.
Seen at the N.C. State Fair for
the past seven years, itattracted "
thousands and is expected todo
The Pitt County American Le-
gion Agricultural Fair broke all
records in attendance, exhibits,
awards, midway entertainment,
free entertainment and every
other category in 1989 and has
just one goal in mind for 1990...to
top that record by bringing to
eastern North Carolina the
greatest, finest, most family ori-
ented exposition that the region
has ever seen.
The fair will begin Octo-
ber 1 and run through
October 6.
Elvy Forrest, Fair manager,
summed it up by saying, oWe ran
ads last year publicly thanking
our Fair patrons and all others
involved, after the Fair was over,
and we promised them even big-
ger and greater things in 1990.
Well, 1990 is here and we cer-
tainly think we've fulfilled that
promise. I Tm looking for a 25%
jump in attendance this year
because we will have more ex-
hibits, especially in livestock,
more free entertainment, more
added to the historic farm mu-
seum, more midway and more
things that haveneverbeen seen
here before. � oAlso, he added,
owe've got more livestock shows
than ever. � Forrest was refer-
ring to the Hog Show on Monday
night, October 1 and the two
Lamb Shows. One Lamb Showis
for Pitt County only on Wednes-
day, October 3 at 7:00 pm and
the other is for all of eastern
North Carolina on Saturday,
October 6 at 12:00 noon. Also
there will be a Heifer Show at
the livestock barn on Saturday,
October 6 at 3:00 pm. If Forrests T
predictions are realized this year,
attendance could top 100,000.
In addition to livestock, the
agricultural and commercial ex-
hibit building is expected to be
filled to capacity. The regions
pride in agriculture, education,
science and industry will be dis-
played for all to see. In the Farm
Museum, or Village of Yester-
year, to which it is sometimes
referred, there have been new
1990 FREE ATTRACTIONS
displays added including a ca-
boose and 100 T of track at the old
depot. This exhibit of a turn of
the century village oriented to
agriculture is considered one of
the finest of its type anywhere
with 20 buildings packed with
farm antiques. The building.
Forrest stated, are not replicas
but the real thing ... not built on
the site, but moved to the site.
oWith a revamping of the fair-
grounds last year, � said Forrest,
owe have better access now and
had arecord crowd visit the Farm
Museum. � A $25,000 extension
show ring and seating have been
added to the livestock barn,
Forrest said. oWe are trying to
put back into the fair the great-
est county fair in the state, � he
said. oWe are now considered by
many to be the state Ts fastest
growing fair out of 55 fairs to be
held in North Carolina this year. �
On The Midway
Amusements of America have
added over one million dollars
worth of new equipment and
much of it will be in Greenville
this year with the midway being
recognized in the last six years
as the biggest midway east of
Raleigh. There will be over 40
attractions from the kid rides to
the major rides to the spectacu-
lar rides to the shows and con-
cessions, all powered by eight
roaring generators. Amusements
of America has played the Pitt
county Fair for 17 years and has
an excellent record of cleanli-
ness and safety. This is one of
America Ts largest carnivals and
1990 marks their 50th anniver-
sary tour over the eastern U.S.
and Canada. Over 110 vehicles
of all descriptions must be used
to bring this huge arsenal of
equipment to Greenville from
Fayetteville before leaving
Greenville the next week for the
Georgia State Fair in Macon,
Georgia.
Free Attractions
Never has there been more free
attractions on the fairgrounds in
the fair Ts 71 years, as there will
be in 1990, according to fair offi-
cials. Bob Jones Petting Zoo and
Circus Menagerie will be on the
main midway all week brought
to you by Dominos Pizza and the
Coca Cola Bottling Company of
Greenville. Nearby will be Cap-
tain Tim Ts High Diving Act which .
will astound children of all ages

is one of the oldest fairground
acts currently touring in
America. On the Independent
Midway, Tuesday through Sat-
urday, the Great Bear Show will
be back for the second year and
fair officials say that they are
still getting requests for the show
to be back this year and are de-
lighted to bring back what the
public wants. The bears will be
giving three shows each night
with a cage display in between.
ABIG hit in 1989. On Wednes-
day and Thursday, October 3 and
4, the auto thrill show, oHolly-
wood Stunt World � will be back
presented to you by Toyota East
of Greenville, and the stuntmen
will be driving all new Toyotas.
This show is expected, as always,
to be a Grandstand packed
thriller with the Monster Car
Crusher thundering the conclu-
sion of each show with its mad-
dening roar. The Buckswamp
Cloggers will be back on Monday
and Friday nights at 7:30 pm for
the folk festival brought to you
by Hooker and Buchanan, Inc.
and Turnage Insurance Agency.
This is another obig request � at-
traction each year according to
fair management. The old 1910
Carousel organ will belt our mid-
way music at its usual spot at the
main midway entrance with
benches in front. This year on
Tuesday through Saturday, a
huge German Fairground organ
will be present on the Indepen-
dent Midway. This beautiful an-
tique was built in Waldrich, Ger-
many in 1899 and has been busy
on many of Americas greatest

gest, finest fair in the history of

ward. Our expositions just keep

sion has jurisdiction. The Recre-

maintains trees in City parks. The
Development Department reviews

(which sometimes include trees).
And the Inspections Department

There are also two volunteer
boards which deal with tree issues.
The Community Appearance
Commission discusses and makes
recommendations regarding
beautification of city rights-of-way.
The Environmental Advisory
Commission looks at trees on the
basis of environmental impact.
According to Ms. Anderson,
the biggest problem in the past
seemed to be that when a major
tree issue arose, like the tree cut-
tings at the corner of 14th and
Charles Streets, oeverybody was
looking at everyone else saying
who has the Pood to pre-
vent this sort of thing. �
One of the areas of concern the
Tree Team will study is how to
encourage private developers to
keep more large existing trees on
the property they are developing.
Other issues include public edu-
cation efforts and a tree planting
and replacement plan. The next
major project for the team will be
planning for the beautification
along the Arlington Boulevard
Extension.

has been raised by several citizen

have tree-lined streets, trees in

~This is what the citizens want.
Hopefully, the Tree Team will help
us fulfill this dream. �
The Tree Team is available to
work with developers in planning
for green space in parking lots,

Louisiana state capital (also the

where Governor Buddy Roemer

to make Black people dumb. �
Roemer, our first reason for
holding BCD, is conspicuous for
his use of the courts and the state
budget to turn Grambling and
Southern into White colleges.
Our next reason is Governor
Guy Hunt of Alabama, who, like
Roemer, says he is trying to kill off
his two Black colleges (ALabama

Miss America savoring
sweet taste of succcess
By CAROLYN A. BUTTS
Special to AmNews
A daughter of Haitian born
i ts | received the..na-
Ga 8 highest honor when she
was crowned Miss America
1991 in the same week Ellis Is-
land reopened its doors to im-
migrants after a six- year hiatus.
~When Gary Collins called
my name I was stunned, � recall-
ed Marjorie Judith Vincent, 25,
whose parents Lucien and
Florence proudly sat in the au-
dience while Bert Parks
serenaded her with the tradi-
tional ~There She Is, T T anthem
for the pageant Ts 70th anniver-
sary celebration.
The daughter of a doorman
and seamstress is an ac-
complished pianist, who wooed
the judges with her rendition of
~Fantasy Impromptu-Opus 66 �
and her intelligence as well as
her stunning beauty.
A resident of the suburban
Oak. Park on Chicago Ts border-
line, Vincent is the first Miss II-
linois to grab the title since
1969 and first African-Ameri-
can of Haitian descent to be-
come Miss America.
~ ~T think we Tve killed the mis-
conception that Miss America
has to look a certain way and
come from a certain back-
ground, � said Vincent, noting
that last year Ts winner, Debbye
Turner is also Black.
Vincent, who is a third year
law student at Duke Law
School, speaks fluent French
and Creole. Her confidence,
talent and hard work won her a
summer internship at a major
New York City law firm.
~ ~T think the pageant is reach-
ing out and looking for women
like Miss Vincent who are very
serious about their careers T

ner in charge of Mudge, Rose,

oObviously, the pageant is
looking for the same type of per-
son we were looking for-some-
one who is professional, aca-
demic, and serious about ol
career, � said DeAngelis.
said they recruited Vincent Me
fall and weren't aware of her
participation in the pageant.
Even though Vincent won't
be able to finish her internship,
which began in May, DeAngelis
said they were so impressed
with her work that they have of-
fered her a job after graduation
based on an August review of
her work.
Describing Vincent as
obright, modest and down to
earth, � DeAngelis said with a
hint of pride in his voice, ~We -
recognized her talents first-be-
fore the pageant. �
A 1988 music graduate of
DePaul University, Vincent
said she switched to corporate
law because she enjoyed per-
forming as a past-time.
oTt is not a difficult transition
to make because music involves
so much analytical skill, � said
Vincent, who began playing the
piano at age 11.
Sporting a gold jacket with a
black trim and a black skirt,
Vincent told reporters her big-
gest inspiration is her parents,
whose discipline and support
spurred her on.
oThey worked so hard to give
us a good education and allowed
me to develop my artistic abili-
ty, � said Vincent, who has four
sisters and a brother. She said
her parents came to America 27
years ago seeking economic op-
portunities.
oThey came from Haiti. They
did not know the United States.

monopoly to give children of poor
parents real education alterna-
tives. The Wisconsin Association
of District Administrators, along
with the Education Association
Council, brought suit to block the
plan. On August 7,Judge Susan R.
Steingass ruled the Milwaukee
school-choice program constitu-
tional. She added, oIf giving par-
ents and students choices in the
manner of their education in-
creases the quality of that educa-
tion, the benefit insures not only
to a few students in Milwaukee
but to our educational system as a
whole, both by the lessons learned
and the education improved. � Her
decision made my day, but more
important, it may makes the lives,
careers and aspirations of black
parents and children languishing
in a cesspool of educational medi-
ocrity and callousness.
Callousness, with a side dish
of gall, is the right description.
Herbert Grover, superintendent of
publicinstruction, said of the plan,
oThis represents the abandonment
of the common school, the institu-
tion best able and most likely to
provide an equal opportunity for
success for all children. � He went
on to lament, oWe're going to have
two school systems . . . both paid
for by public money. One will have
accountability, and one won't. �
There is no greater crime to chil-
dren, particularly black children,
that that perpetrated by public
schools in most big cities. Grover Ts
public schools have little or no
accountability standards when
many kids graduate from high
school and cannot perform at an
eighth grade level.
To add insult to injury, the
Milwaukee branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP), joined

The larger lesson from all this
is that the way to help the poor,
who want to help themselves, is to
expand their choices. Establish

How to Encourage Your
Child to Read
Here are some tips for parents
who want to encourage their chil-
dren to read:
¢ Be a good role model. Read,
and let your child know you enjoy
it and benefit from it. Share inter-
esting parts of your reading.
¢ Let your child see you use
reading in daily life: preparing
recipes, following directions,
reading sports scores and picking
a TV program.
* Have things to read at home:
magazines, newspapers, books.
* Very young children should
start a book collection, with a
special place to keep it. Make
birthdays and holidays occasions
for giving books and magazine
subscriptions.
© At the library, help children
learn how to choose books, but
give them leeway in selecting what
appeals to them. Librarians can
help.
* Don Tt constantly challenge
your children with difficult books.
Allow them the luxury of easy
reading. For reluctant or slow
readers, suggest short, humorous
poems that encourage rather than
frustrate them.
* Listen to your child read on
a regular basis, and don Tt be criti-
cal. Praise the child Ts successes
and avoid correcting every word.
Keep it fun; don Tt turn it into a
reading lesson.
* Read to your children even
after the learn to read. You can
share books the child is not yet
able to read but is ready for emo-
tionally and intellectually.
° Show interest in what your
children are reading. Read the

arch, ne no a
impressive service has ever
arranged than brings together
two young lives glowing with the
experience of new-found love.
Marriage is an institution of
God Ts own founding, and has had
His blessing from the day when
He presented Eve unto Adam
and declared, oTherefore shall a
man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto
his wife: and they shall be one
flesh. �
It comes as a surprise to a lot
of young people to learn that
there is no wedding ceremony in
the Bible, and that he of which
theminister readsisa oMinister's
Manual, � which may contain one
or several different forms, any of
which is equally suitable. Yet
the things which make up the
ceremony reflect the spirit and
teachings of Jesus and the
apostles, and only those vows
are required for which there is
some definite command. But re-
stn oe
upon * Ld
periment, it is important that
the permanency and spirituality
of marriage be emphasized.
The second is a chal-
lenge to those who are present:
oFor as much as these two per-
sons have come hither to be made
one in this holy estate, if there is
any here who knows any just
cause why they may not be joined
together in marriage, I require
him now to make it known, or
ever after to hold his peace. �
It would create a great sen-
sation if some were to cry
out, oI object! I declare the exist-
ence of an impediment! � Yet there
are times when people ought to
object, rather than to let young
people be tied up for life when
they have no right to be. Such an
objection, of course, would call
for postponement of the wedding
until the matter was cleared up,
if indeed it should be.
Responsible positions with progressive
fire department requiring thorough
working knowledge of modern firefighting
and rescue principles, practices, and
procedures. Night and shift work. High
be acceptable to God.
Divorce is one of the mest
common impediments these
days, for the Bible allows it only
in case of adultery, and white it
is not specifi stated, it is
taken for granted by most minis-
ters that the innocent party to a
divorce may remarry. It is no
pleasant matter for a minister to
refuse to perform a ceremony,
but he can go no further than the
Bible allows. Quite often ne
inquiry, the minister finds that
whereas a divorce was granted
for incompatibility, the real
reason was adultery., but the
fact was not mentioned in order
to avoid publicity. In these days
of lax and conflicting laws, aman
who has been divorced and re-
married may be married to his
second wife in one state, the first
oné in another state, and to nei-
ther of them in a third. Such is
the confusion when men depart
from the law of God.
Coercion is another impedi-
ment. Some time ago the
newspapers gave a lot of public-
ity to the case of two men who
traded daughters, eleven and
sixteen, and married them. No
person or minister with any sense
of decency would be a party toa
wedding of that kind, and any-
body who knew the facts would
be morally obligated to object.
The opresence of disease, � of a
type which would be transmit-
ted to children, or cause them to
be born physically or mentally
defective, would also constitute
those in love, but sooner or
hard times will come, andthere .
isn Tt anything romantic about
living on soup instead of beef
steak; neither is anybody happy
very long in a otumble down
. shack in the West, � in spite ofthe
catchy tune of the song. When T
faced with adversity, some
women will walk out on a man;
others, who took their vows se-
riously, will stand by their
husbands and encourage them.
Marriage is more than a meal:
ticket, and love which will not
stand hardships is not very deep.
Sooner or later sickness, also,
is going to come, and these vows |
may mean in some cases, years.
of care. In other instances it may :
mean the woman will have to
support the family. In any case,
it will call for self-denial, pa-
tience, and love.
oAs long as we both shall
live � is one of the most sobering
phrases of the promise. It means
that at the end of the way there
will be a flower-laden casket and
an open grave - one of the two
will have passed over into the
great beyond. It is nothing short
of an insult to God for people to
take vows' like these, and then

Representative
Walter B. Jones,
Jr. participates in
_ press conference
| State Representative Walter
Jones, Jr., (D-9th District), was in
Raleigh on Monday morning for a
Press Conference announcing the
| availability of a toll-free number
of North Carolinians who have
questions about candidates run-
ning for Congress in North Caro-
lina.
Jones was invited to partici-
pate in the conference along with
U.S. Senator William Proxmire,
Congressman Jim Leach, State
Senator Leo Daughtry and State
Representative Art Pope. The
Center for National Independence
in Politics, a non-partisan educa-
tional research group based in
Tucson, Arizona, is sponsoring the
candidate information line in two
states, North Carolina and Ne-
braska. Former Presidents Jimmy
Carter and Gerald Ford are hon-
orary co-founders of the Center.
CNIP Ts intent is to furnish a non-
partisan source of issue-oriented
information to which voters can
turn and trust when campaign
rhetoric and gimmicks have them
confused.
North Carolina citizens ;can
dial 1-800-733-VOTE to obtain
biographical, funding and perfor-
mance rating information on con-
gressional candidates in their
districts. Each candidate running
for federal office has provided this
information to CNIP. Information
such as a candidate Ts marital sta-
tus or educational background,
information on money the candi-
date has received from political
actions committees from 1983-88
