' U.S. Secretary of Education nts, educators, businesses, and
Duringevery holidayseason,we °ommunity groups as well.

_are reminded anew of the joy and The Family Involvement Part-

~ strength we receive fromourfami- ?,?rshipfor Learningproceeds from

lies. Thope you will agree thatone the firm belief that it is parents

of the most lasting and valuable T

contributions family members
~make to their youngsters is re-
spect for the value of education
and a lifelong love of learning.

During this particular holiday
season. as U.S. Secretary of Edu-
cation, I had the pleasure of being
part of the landmark announce-
ment of more than 30 different
religious organizations who came
together to affirm their commit-
ment to increase family involve-
ment in learning. This wonderful
statement of common purpose is
very, very important. I encourage
all people of faith across America
to make increasing family involve-
ment in education a high priority
in your community.

This ground breaking statement
is but one part of a new nationwide
Family Involvement Partnership
for Learning that has been de-
signed to reinforce the central role
of the family and to identify and
overcome barriers to family par-
ticipation in children Ts learning.
The partnershipembraces not only

and families who actually raise
children. At the same time, the
more than 100 organizations in-
volved in this partnership, includ-
ingthe U.S. Department of Educa-
tion, agree that there is a need for
environments to be more support-
ive of families amidst the churn-
ing pressures of modern everyday
life.

Religious leaders and institu-
tions. given their moral authority
and dedication to lifelong learn-
ing. play a significant role in the
partnership for family involve-
ment. The fact that this distin-
guished and diverse group of reli-
gious organizations has come to-
gether to embrace the cause of
increasing family involvement in
learning is one of the outstanding
features of this nationwide coali-
tion.

The religious organizations that
supported the statement of com-
mon purpose represent some 75
percent of religiously affiliated
Americans. They have issued an
eloquent call for action. It is my

hope that this call will echo in
every community across our na-
tion.

In their statement, the religious
leaders say, oWe believe the par-
ticipation of family members in
the education and spiritual devel-
opment of young people is funda-
mental to a child Ts preparation for
adulthood and the responsibilities
of citizenship. ...Parents and
guardians need to immerse them-
selves in the education of their
children as never before. ?

They note, o...there are children
who do not attend school regu-
larly, whose test scores and grades
falter, who have too much idle time,
and whose parents are absent, too
overwhelmed or too busy to spend
time reading, talking, praying,
[and] playing [with their children
and] listening [to them], helping,

- or encouraging them. ?

oReligious communities hear
this cry, ? their statement contin-
ues. oWe call upon all citizens,
religious communities, community
organizations, and businesses to
do their share. We urge family
members to become actively in-
volved in their children Ts educa-
tion, religious communities to work
to better understand and meet
educational and family needs, com-
munity organizations to sponsor
meaningful youth- and family-ori-
ented activities, and businesses to
adopt family-friendly policies in
the workplace. ?

I believe that many parents feel
overwhelmed by all the outside
influences shaping the lives of their
chil-ren. Thev feel that our popu-
lar culture undermines the values
they want their children to have.
They see so many of our young
people growing up rudderless "
without any sense of why they
ought to study hard or what it
means to be a good citizen.

In homes where both parents
work, or where only one parent is
present, parents may find it diffi-
cult tocarve out the time needed to
help their children learn. Many
parents are unsure how to act most
effectively to help their children
learn at school and at home. In
some communities, lack of services
and institutions may limit the op-
portunities for young people to
learn. And parents struggle every-
where to instill proper values in
their children and to teach their
youngsters about the dangers of
drugs and alcohol.

The Family Involvement Part-
nership for Learning emphasizes
the special responsibilities of van-
ous groups "and the powerfully

positive effect we can achieve by

working together.

Parents can read with their chil-
dren, establish a daily routine for
learning, check homework, set high
expectations, and encourage stu-
dents to enroll in rigorous courses.
Schools can set challenging stan-
dards, improve communications

with families, and make parents

feel welcome both in the school
and in the learning process. Busi-
nesses can provide flexible work

available to participate in school

Religious communities can es-

families and provide mentors and
volunteers. Communities can ex-
tend and enrich the learning day
through libraries, museums and
other cultural institutions.

~As a developmental psycholo-

it seems to be reasonably accu-

tend to score high on intelligence
tests. Supermarket cashiers, fast
food restaurant workers, janitors,
hospita] orderlies and domestics
(occupations in which Black people
are significantly oover-repre-
sented ?) are likely to have lower
intelligence quotients. Most
people, no matter what their 1.Q.,
know that.

Yet The Bell Curve by Charles
Murray and the late Richard J.
Herrnstein, which only asserts
what is common knowledge, has

predictably touched off a hue and -

cry in liberal journalistic and so-
cial scientific circles. Jim Holt
( oAnti-Social Science, ? New York
Times, October 19 ) tries to explain
this fact of American life without
really admitting it. oHow then.do
we account for the sizable gap in
measured I.Q. (some 15 points on
average) that seems to separate
American blacks and whites? ? he
asks, suggesting that osuch differ-
ences [can] be made to shrink and
ultimately disappear with a better
understanding of how the early
environment determines the for-
mation of our cognitive appara-
tus. ?

This is an excellent example, in
my opinion, of the kind of pro-
foundly flawed reasoning that has
contributed to stunting the intel-
lectual and moral development of
huge numbers of people "many of
them African American. For ex-
ample, the liberals T obsession with
ohow the early environment deter-
mines the formation of our cogni-
tive apparatus ? has led to a mas-
sive investment in Headstart pro-
grams and other early child devel-
opment initiatives. While I have
supported and continue to support
Headstart and related programs,
in my opinion, the issue of what
and how children learn in these
settings has been insufficiently en-
gaged.

The Staff and Management

Proudly Salute the
Achievements and
Contributions of
African American....

Whatever the intentions or mo-
tives of those who engage in Mr.
Holt Ts kind of reasoning, it is pro-
foundly self-serving in that it fails
to address what I think is the seri-
ous question, whichis neither oAre
Black people less intelligent than
white people? ? nor oWhy are Black
people less intelligent than white
people? ?

Rather, the issue is this: If white
folks "be they of the Jim Holt or
Charles Murray variety "are so
smart, why can Tt they do anything
about all the not-very-smart Black
folks? How has it come to pass that
the high-I.Q. people "the ones who
own substantial portions of the
economy, run our government and
make the social policy decisions "
have created a situation in which
so many people of

color live in poverty and squa-
lor, destroying themselves with
drugs and alcohol, abusing their
children and engaging in murder-
ous violence toward one another?
Why haven Tt programs like
Headstart been an effective inter-
vention into these problems? What
factors have caused the smartest
people in America to bring the
development of our economy to a
grinding halt, and to create a so-
cialandcultural environment that
is anti-developmental in every
way?

How are we to understand this
apparent anomaly which is that
the high I.Q. types haven Tt figured
out how to solve our vast social
ills? A crucial factor is that those
who influence and determine so-
cial policy are guided by an anach-
ronistic model of learning and de-
velopment which is not only non-
development but anti-developmen-
tal. This no-growth model informs
all our institutions and social pro-
grams, from Head Start to public
education to prison and drug reha-
bilitation; from the silver spoon
kindergarten to Harvard to Wall
Street.

Traditional psychology has
modeled itself on the physical sci-
ences with, in my opinion, disas-
trous consequences. It treats hu-
man beings as qualitatively no dif-
ferent from the birds, berries, at-
oms, and stars that are studied by
biologists, botanists, physicists and
astronomers. Psychology through
most of this century has accord-
ingly been dominated by the view
that human development takes
place only in the first few years of
childhood. (The Swiss psycholo-
gist Jean Piaget was the most in-
fluential proponent of this perspec-
tive.)

There are variations on this
theme "some emphasize genetic
influences, others make cultural
factors central "but educational
psychology and clinical psychol-
ogy both rest on the assumption
that human beings are born with
or quickly acquire an I.Q. and per-
sonality traits. By the time we Tre
five or six, or at most nine or ten,
we've presumably stopped devel-
oping.

This odevelopmental identity ?
supposedly stays with us through-
out life, determining what and how
much we can learn. The Bell Curve,
in my opinion, simply reports on
the dire consequences of this ap-

: ee uu dominated West-
ern culture for a century or more.
An alternative view "which is

i ~ beqoming increas: ingly popular in

this country and in Western Eu-
rope "suggests thatin fact human
beings are capable of continuous
development throughout life. Ac-
cording to this view, which is ~asso-
ciated with the work of early So-
viet, psychologist Lev Vygotsky,
othe only learning worthy of the
name ? is not reducible to the ac-
quisition of information (which is
what I.Q. tests measure). This most
ifportant kind of learning is that
which is unified with develop-
ment "what changes is not merely
what people know but who they
are! Moreover, there is, growing
evidence that even when develop-
ment has stopped, it can be
reinitiated.

A lot of the osmart ? people who
consider themselves liberals have
been outraged by Murray and
Herrnstein Ts book "mostly, in my
opinion, because it exposes that
their own educational and devel-
opmental approaches have failed.
They are, in fact, directly threat-
ened by this view of continuous
development. Forone thing, ifsuch
a perspective were used to shape
educational and social policy, it
would render obsolete their roles
as protectors of and spokesper-
sons for the less osmart ? people.

White liberals and their Black
imitators (however militant their
anti-Bell Curve rhetoric might be)
therefore prefer the frozen tab-
leau of the status quo. Here they
can go on perennially beseeching
the powers-that-be to make the
enviromnent a little more hospi-
table for poor people, while em-
ploying a methodology that, guar-
antees there will always be poor
people who are too ostupid ? to do
anything on their own behalf.

In the meantime, ordinary
Americans "average middle class
white and Black people "

understandably don Tt see much
sense in paying more and more
taxes for programs that have been
demonstrably ineffective in deal-
ing with social pathology.

You don Tt need a genius I.Q. ta

recognize that such governmental
solutions have hit a brick wall.
The vast majority of these pro-
grams, after all, do little to benefit
the ostupid ? people for whom they
are supposedly intended, but in-
stead pad the pockets and protect
the political tenure of the osmart ?
class of politically appointed bu-
reaucrats, helping professionals
and social scientists who perpetu-
ate them.

What Ts required now are politi-
cal solutions to the profound social
problems engendered by official
stupidity. The Founding Fathers "
notwithstanding the exclusionary
biases inherent in their philoso-
phies "envisioned a practice of
direct democratic participation
that has been profoundly distorted
under the present political ar-
rangement. The non-participation
of the American people in the po-
litical process has resulted in a
serious lack of political develop-
ment. Decision-making has been
concentrated in fewer and fewer
hands and the resultant alienation
that so many people feel has con-
tributed to the social and economic
decline of our society as a whole.

We need a fundamental restruc-
turing of America Ts political ar-
rangement. That restructuring
must be based on a new social
scientific theory which views hu-
man beings as capable of
reinitiating our development, as
individuals and as a society "even
when it has stopped.

We can only do that when we
come together, with all our racial,
religious, economic "and cogni-
tive "differences, to create and re-

Crop Dusters Being Ey a

RALEIGH " Developing a li-
cense point system for crop dust-
ers who violate North Carolina
pesticide laws is one of several
proposals officials will review over
the coming months.

The N.C. Pesticide Board on
Tuesday, Dec.. 13, agreed toevalu-
ate the state's pesticide program
at upcoming meetings. The board
will study enforcement issues, such
as creating a penalty matrix sys-
tem for repeat offenders of ground
and aerial application rules. It Ts
Pesticide Advisory Committee will
review regulations, including
buffer zones for occupied homes.

oThere are some people that we
need to get out of the sky " one
way or the other, ? board member
Dr. C. Gregory Smith said of pilots

who repeatedly violate pesticide
regulations Smith is a public
health physician and medical epi-
demiologist with the N.C. Depart-
ment of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.

The omajority of the aerial ap-
plicators are doing a good job, ? he
said. oI Tm not out to ground those
people. I Tm out to ground the ones
that shouldbe out ofthe air. ? Smith
added that the ovast percentage of
violators are repeat violators. ?

Another proposal is a one-year
suspension of a pilot Ts pesticide
applicator license for the first vio-
lation involving known or negli-

gent direct human exposure. A
secondoffense would carry a three-
year suspension, and a third of-
fense permanent revocation. Crop
dusters who kept their records
clean three years after a violation,
except for a third offense, would
return to zero points and have
their licenses restored.

The board may also consider in-
creasing no deposit buffer zones
for residential property from 100
feet to 300 feet. No deposit means
that no measurable amount of pes-
ticide residue, whether from de-
posit or drift, is allowed.

In other business, a Person
County crop duster agreed to a one

_month suspension of his state

aerial pesticide pilot applicator li-
cense and a two-year denial to
apply pesticides .containing
paraquat as an active ingredient.

Robert 0. Whitfield of Bob Ts Inc.,

Route 2, Box 184, Hurdle Mills
agreed to the terms as part of a
settlement agreement. The Pesti-
cide Board approved the agree-
ment, which included an $800 fine.
The agreement does not consti-
tute an admission of guilt.

The incident occurred Sept.. 28-
29, 1993 near Rich Square in
Northampton County. Whitfield
applied two defoliants to a cotton
field south of N.C. Highway 308.

Whitfield allegedly deposited
pesticides within the 100-foot
buffer zone of a home, 25 feet of a
highway right of way and onto
nontarget areas. He also allegedly
applied pesticides under conditions
where drift could occur and used a
pesticide improperly. °

Investigators from the N.C. De-
partment of Agriculture inspected
the area and found tree damage
along the highway. Grass in an
adjacent property owner Ts yard
also was damaged. Pesticide resi-
due was found in samples collected
within 100 feet of a home and 25
feet of Highway 308.

Cases involving Whitfield had
come before the board twice previ-
ously. In August 1990, he was fined
$250 for allegedly using pesticides
improperly and depositing within
25 feet of highway. The incident,
involving a cotton field spraying,
occurred October 1989 in
Powellsville, Bertie County.

In May 1992, Whitfield was fined
$500 and had his aerial applicator
license suspended for two weeks.
He had sprayed a defoliant on a
Bertie County cotton field in Au-
gust 1991. The pesticide allegedly
deposited upon a Roxobel man,
within 100 feet of the man Ts home,

Pesticide Program Review

and upon his garden and grape-
vine.

The board also approved the fol-
lowing settlement agreements
Tuesday, none constituting an
admission of guilt: :

* Town of Mayodan fined $200
for unlicensed pesticidé applica-
tion " In June 1993, a town em-
ployee allegedly applied Roundup
to cracks along a sidewalk at the
former Elliott Duncan Elementary
School. The employee told investi-
gators that he had been instructed
to apply the pesticide as part ofhis
job duties. Mayodan has since
hired an employee licensed and
trained in pesticide use.

* Daniel M. Lennon of Route 2,
Box 298, Elizabethtown fined $300
and agreed to attend a training
course for using a pesticide im-
properly and allowing drift " In
August 1993, Lennon applied
Roundup along a chain link fence
on his property. The herbicide al-
legedly damaged vegetation and
trees on adjacent property.

* W. Mart Coalson, owner of
Mart Lawn Care, 177 Endsley
Ave., Winston-Salem fined $100
for unlicensed pesticide applica-
tion " During July 1993, a com-
pany employee allegedly applied
Roundup to residential property
in Clemmons.

* Arthur H. Ricks of 13271 N.C.
42 East, Kenly fined $200 for im-
proper pesticide use " Last Au-
gust, Ricks allegedly applied
Valent Orthene 75S Soluble Pow-
der to his collards to control cab-
bage loopers. The insecticide is not
labeled for use on collards. *
Charles D. Gamble, owner of Do-
minion Landscape Inc., P.O. Box
32129, Raleigh fined $300 for un-
licensed application " On Aug.
24, an inspector saw an employee
apply Roundup to property owned
by ISN of Durham. et-2,3

Gov. Jim Hunt will kick off a
statewide series of public hear-
ings in Charlotte Dec. 14 when he
hears from welfare recipients, so-
cial workers, business owners,
educators and others about the
best ways to change the welfare
system.

The hearing will be held at 7
p.m. in the City Council chamber
at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Gov-
ernment Center.

The hearings are part of an ef-
fort by Hunt Ts Welfare Reform
Task Force to develop astrategy to
change North Carolina Ts welfare
system and help families move
from welfare and dependency to
work and self-sufficiency.

oWe have to find ways to end the
cycle of poverty, so that families on
welfare can learn to stand on their
own two feet. ? Hunt said. oMany of
the families on welfare want to
work " they want to buy homes
and send their children to college
"but the system discourages them
from pursuing those dreams. It Ts
time to change that. ?

The current welfare system pe-
nalizes clients for saving money,
for holding a job that pays decent

wages and even for letting their \
welfare recipients ws help kf A

children work to save money for

college. The task force is looking

for ways to change the system so
that it encourages welfare recipi-
ents to work and doesn Tt punish
them for trying to get ahead.

The task force has also focused
its attention.on ways to prevent
teenage pregnancy, whichcan trap
young mothers and their children
into reliance on welfare. Teen
mothers often drop out of school to
care for theirchildren, ending their
education and their chances to
support themselves and forcing
them and their children to rely on
welfare instead.

The 32-member Welfare Reform
task force, which operates under
the Governor's Commission on
Workforce Preparedness, will of-
fer its recommendations to Hunt
early next year. Hunt intends to
propose welfare reform to the 1995
General Assembly.

Hold Public Heari

the best ways to improve the

fare system. Since then, scone a

subcommittees: have been re-

searching methods to help fami- -

lies break their dependence on the T
welfare system.

The task force meets monthly,
while its committees meet more
often to look at specific ways to

~help welfare recipients get theedu-

cation, job training and other skills

they need to help them move-

quickly into the job market.

Dr. Bertha Maxwell Roddy, a
Frank Porter Graham professor
emeritus at UNC-Charlotte, serves
as chairman of the task force. She

is the former UNCC department |

chair of the Afro-American and
African Studies Program and she
helped create the National Coun-
cil on Black Studies and the Afro-

Proverbs 22:6

As members of religious com-
munities from across the land, we
join to affirm the vital and endur-
ing role of families in the educa-
tion of children. We have always
regarded families and parents in
particular "as the primary teach-
ers of children. Encouraged by
Secretary of Education Richard
Riley Ts concern for all children and
his commitment to the role of fami-
lies in educating children, we call
upon all people of good will to stand
as one with us in support of fami-
lies T participation in children Ts
learning.

Parents and guardians need to
immerse themselves in the educa-

tion of their children as never be-
fore. Children need theimmediate
andconstant support of their fami-
lies. But there are other voices at
odds with these goals: the voices of
poverty, loneliness, and fear. Be-
cause of this, there are children
who do not attend school regu-
larly, whose test scores and grades
falter, who have too much idle
time, and whose parents are ab-
sent, too overwhelmed or too busy
to spend time reading, talking,
praying, playing, listening, help-
ing or encouraging them.
Religious communities hear this
cry. It is with this knowledge and
in our unique roles that we stand
united in our commitment to the
involvement of family members in
the education of children. We be-

ve! the participation of family
spiritual development of young
people is fundamental to a child Ts
preparation for adulthood and the
responsibilities of citizenship. Our
nation Ts future depends upon a
shared concern for the education
of young people.

It is imperative that religious
communities join together with
governments, community organi-
zations, businesses, and publicand
private schools in striving to pro-
vide families, parents, grandpar-
ents, foster parents, guardians, or
extended family members with the
information, skills, tools, and op-
portunities that will ,encourage
their participation in the total edu-
cation of their children, including
character education. We are com-
mitted to working together to im-
prove children Ts learning through
family involvement partnerships.

We are thankful for the bless-
ings of religious liberty, a sacred
trust, stated in the Declaration of
Independence and guaranteed by
the First Amendment of the Con-
stitution, that enables the mem-
bers of all faiths to freely and
openly work together for the com-
mon good. As beneficiaries of this
great legacy, we pledge our sup-
portin encouraging family involve-
ment in the éducation of children.

We call upon all citizens, reli-
gious communities, community
organizations, and businesses to
do their share. We urge family
members to become actively in-
volved in their children Ts educa-
tion, religious communities to work
to better understand and meet
educational and family needs,
communityorganizations to spon-

sor meaningful youth- and family-
to adopt family-friendly policies in
the workplace. Governments need
to promote public policies that en-
courage greater family involve-
ment in the education of all chil-
dren. We challenge our society
tovalue and nurture our children
of today so that they can be pro-
ductive citizens of tomorrow.

CULLOWHEE "The youth
gangs that haunt the streets of
America Ts cities have become syn-
onymous with violence and crime,
but when Western Carolina Uni-
versity assistant professor Jackie
Schneider met gang members face
to face, some of them were too
polite to curse in front of her.

In her research into gangs over
the past eight years, Schneider,
who teaches in WCU Ts department
of criminal justice, has found gangs
to be anything but a loose assort-
ment of disorganized individuals. |
In her most recent research,
Schneider compared the roles gang
leaders play in their gang activi-
ties to the roles carried out by the
average business leader.

Schneider found that there are
many similarities. Gangs typically
have hierarchies.of authority, set
goals and forecast future trends.
Some gangs are led by groups of
individuals who exercise author-
ity similar to a board of directors.

Schneider Ts past work experi-
ence includes two years with the
Columbus, Ohio, police
department Ts ogang squad. ? Dur-
ing an arrest in which she partici-
pated, a gang member was found
to be carrying the gang Ts piecharts,
bar graphs and lists of training
goals.

Schneider, a Cincinnati, Ohio,
native, began teaching at WCU
this fall. She is using the results of
her comparison of gang and busi-
ness leadership roles to write a
doctoral dissertation.

Hackley Assumes Community College
System Presidency "

RALEIGH " January 3 is the
date set for Dr. Lloyd oVic ? Hackley
to assume the presidency of the
North Carolina Community Col-
lege System.

Hackley, current chancellor of
Fayetteville State University, is
taking the reins of the 58-member
system from retiring president and
former governor Bob Scott who
held the position for almost 12
years.

The 54-year-old educator brings
a wealth of personal and profes-
sional experience to his new job.

T Prior to assuming the chancellor-
ship at Fayetteville State in 1988,
he served in the University of

~ North Carolina General Adminis-

tration as Vice President for Stu-
dent Services and Special Pro-
grams from 1985-87. He also
served as Chancellor of the Uni-
versity of Arkansas at Pine Bluff

from 1981-85.

A 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air

Force, Hackley enlisted at age 17

in 1958 and retired as a major in

1978, He was awarded the Bronze
Star for Valor, the Meritorious
Service Medal and the Vietnam
Cross for Gallantry.

Hackley assumes the presidency
of the community college system
at a time when the educational
community, especially community
colleges, embark on the so-called

working with the state Ts public
schools and four-year institutions,
will fulfill their expanding educa-

to our people toward a higher level

community colleges are our best
hope for change in the educational
landscape and social progress for

2. Don Tt be afraid to be firm with

3. Don Tt let me form bad habits.
Thave to rely on you to detect them
in the early stages.

4. Don Tt correct me in front of
people if you can help it. I'll take
much more notice if you talk qui-
etly with me in private.

5. Don Tt protect me from conse-
quences. I need to learn the pain-
ful way, sometimes.

6. Don Tt nag. If you do, I shall
have to protect myself by appear-
ing deaf.

7. Don Tt forget that I cannot ex-
plain myself as well as I should
like. This is why I Tm not always
very accurate.

8. Don Tt be inconsistent. That
completely confuses me and makes
me lose faith in you.

9. Don Tt put me off when I ask
questions. If you do, you will find
that I stop asking and seek my
information elsewhere.

10. Don Tt forget that Ican Tt thrive
without lots of understanding and
love - but I don Tt need to tell you, do

From: oLetters to the Editor ? in
EBONY Magazine, July 1994 in
answer to the article, oTo Spank or
Not to Spank ? in the April 1994
issue.

1 No matter how vou Jook at it,
oSpanking is a physical assault of
a bigger person on a smaller one. ?
~Discipline means to teach, not
punishment, should be the norm
for raising assertive, responsible
and self-confident children.

2. oSpanking, whipping orhitting I

a child is nothing more than as-
serting your authority because you
are bigger than a child and have
more power than the child. If
spanking truly worked, adults

+ would spank each other in the

workplace, at colleges and in
church. To all spankers and child
hitters, you are nothing but bul-
lies. ?

3. To punish a child instead of
spanking, use taking timeout or
taking away privileges. This is
better for the child emotionally
and metally, even for the parent.
Continue publishing articles like
this one, forit will help my genera-
tion raise a strong, more success-

ful generation of young African-
ricans.

4. The all-too-common picture of
spanking - a powerful Black figure
towering over ascreaming defense-
less child - must be removed from
the Black community, this so-

called tradition forms part of the
corrosive legacy left by-the white
slavemaster who used this prac-
tice in the extreme (whippings,
beatings, lashings) to foster vio-
lence and inhibit love among our
people. That this sorry practice is
perpetuated in the family unitonly
shows how deep remain the scars
of slavery. One of the best ways to
reduce this intolerable behavior is
to film or photograph the parents
in action and show them the pic-
ture.

5. There is enough violence fac-
ing our youth coming from outside
elements; the home should be a
secure and positive place. There

oare very effective ways of disci-
plining children other than strik-
ing them. A full-blown spanking
only teaches a child to be fright-
ened and resentful of his parents

and that striking another human °

being is the only way to resolve
conflict.
Thank you EBONY, for this ar-

ticle and all others that inspire

and educate.

Irealize that someone is quoting
the proverb: oSpare the rod and
spoil the child, ? which means -
oChildren need physical punish-
ment in order to develop. ?

Proverbs 13:24 says, oHe that
spareth his rod hateth his son; but
he that loveth himchasteneth him
bedtimes. ?

QUOTABLE QUOTES...

and development of small busi-

the economic climate for small

this important goal. o said Lieu-

Wicker Ts recommendations to
the Council include:

Exploring how to make export/

readily available to small busi-
nesses interested in marketing
their goods and products to for-
eign customers.

Developing more ohome to home ?
marketing between small business
suppliers and big business buyers.
A study indicates that most big
business buyers make their pur-
chases with out-of-state suppliers.
Helping match up in-state suppli-
ers with buyers could be a big
boost for many small businesses

Examining the issue of govern-
ment red tape and excessive rules

and regulations on small business.
Seek input from small businesses
through a series of regional public
hearings.

Allow people on unemployment
to use their benefits to begin a
small business. NAFTA legisla-
tion gives states greater flexibility
to provide unemployment benefits
to individuals who would be likely
to exhaust their benefits. Projects
in other state have result in many
participants becoming self suffi-

mid-July and joined fourother U.S.
Navy ships for the journey that

International Civil Rights Center &

Museum to Celebrate 35th
Anniversary of Sit-In Movement

January 10, 1995 " On Febru-
ary 1, 1995 the International Civil
Rights Center and Museum will
celebrate the 35th anniversary of
the original sit-in movement that
happened at the Woolworth lunch
counter in Greensboro, North
Carolina. A reception will be held
at 6:30 pm at the Koury Conven-
tion Center in Greensboro, N.C.
followed by dinner at 7:30 pm.

On that Wednesday, February
1, 1995, five key civil rights pio-
neers will be honored. Among the
list ofhonoraries, one is the Mother
of the Civil Rights Movement, Mrs.
Rosa Parks. Also honored will be
four noteworthy heroes of the 1960
sit-in movement, Mr. Ezell Blair,
Sr., Mr. Ralph Jones, Attorney J.
Kenneth Lee, and Dr. George
Simkins. Paying tribute to these
civil legends, the guest speaker
will be the former executive direc-
tor of the NAACP, Dr. Benjamin F.
Hooks. Sandra Hughes,
anchorwoman of WFMY-TV News
2, will serve as the mistress of
ceremony.

The public is invited to partici-

pate in this upcoming gala event.
This is crucial to the completion of
necessary renovations and preser-
vations of the building which
houses the actual lunch counter
where the original sit-in occurred.
This is your chance to be an active
advocate in this historicendeavor.
This will help make the Interna-
tional Civil Rights Center and
Museum a reality.

Thirty five years ago, four North
Carolina A & T State University
Students sat down at the lunch
counter of the F.W. Woolworth
store in downtown Greensboro.
Anticipating service similar to that
of their white counterparts, they
were refused; in response to such
refusal, they remained seated in
silence. Within weeks, their osit
in ? - actions were replicated "in
eleven other cities nationwide. As
a result of this courageous action,
change was implemented on poli-
cies and laws pertaining to racial
segregation throughout the entire
country.

Society of St. Andrew receives
Philip Morris grant

Big Island, VA - The Society of
St. Andrewis pleased to announce
that they have received a $45,000
oHelping the Helpers ? grant from
Philip Morris Companies, Inc. The
grant, awarded in late December,
was given in support of the Society
of St. Andrew's Seed Potato Pro-

gram.

The Philip Morris grant is the
first corporate grant given in sup-
port of the Seed Potato Program.
Itisalsothelargest corporate grant

received to date by the Society of
St. Andrew.

Mr. Jay Barton, Director of De-
velopment for the Society of St.
Andrew was extremely gratified
by the Philip Morris gift.

oThis Helping the Helpers T grant
from the Philip Morris Companies
will do exactly what the name
says, ? said Barton. oOur Seed Po-
tato Program is one of our newest
and fastest growing programs.
Philip Morris Companies has in-
sured that this highly effective self
help program will continue to grow
in 1995. ?

Potato Project Director of Op-
erations for the Society of St. An-
drew is Mrs. Marian Buchanan.
She sees the Seed Potato Program
as a positive example of a work-
able self-help program.

oThe Seed Potato Program is
exciting, ? she said. oIt is a ~hand
up T rather than a ~hand out T ven-
ture. ? During 1994 the program
disstributed over 695,000 pounds
of seed notatoes for low income
families to plant.With a normal
yield of about seven to one, those
seed potatoes supplied almost
5,000,000 pounds of good nutri-
tious produce for the receipents.
According to Buchanan, the seed
potatoes provided through the
oHelping the Helpers ? grant will
help over 20,000 hungry in the
United States grow food for them-
selves.

Although the vast majority of
the seed potatoes were shipped to
agencies in Appalacchia, several
Native American Reservations
also received the planting pota-
toes. The Lumbee Indian Develop-
ment Asssociation and the Chero-

°]

That Ts Our Goal!

kee United Methodist Church, both
in North Carolina, each received a
tractor trailer load of seed pota-
toes.

The last shipment of 1994 was
delivered to the Blackfeet United

4

Methodist Church in Browning,
Montana. .

Seed Potato Program, contact the
Society of St. Andrews at 800/333-
