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

Howington Are your social activities at an all time low? There may be many reasons why this ocurred but it is a fact that a pleasant and attrac- tive appearance can only serve to improve your social life. Take your teeth and gums for instance. Clean teeth and healthy gums are surely an asset to your personal appearance. laque (soft deposits that can be removed with a toothbrush) that is left on your teeth causes gingivitis or bleeding gums. Not only does gingivitis make your gums red and swollen, but also leaves a salty or unpleasant taste in your mouth. If plaque is not removed everyday, it tends to harden. This unsightly hard deposit is referred to as calculus or tartar. You will usually notice it forming first on your lower fromt teeth. After the plaque hardens it has to be removed by your dentist or hygienist. You can Jones accepts invitation to address gov. affairs committee State Rep. Walter Jones, Jr. (D-Pitt) has accepted an invita- tion to address the Governmental Affairs Committee of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce on Thurs- day, December 10. He will ex- plain House Bill 1124, a bill which he sponsored during the 1987 Ses- sion of the General Assembly, to curb campaign spending. Jones’s bill passed the North Carolina Senate in the 1988 short Session. Jones has been traveling across North Carolina speaking to civic clubs and other groups to discuss the alternatives proposed in House Bill 1124 for financing the cost of running for public of- fice in North Carolina and this at- tempt to cap campaign expense. Jones has addressed the issue of public campaign financing before meetings in Asheville, Lauringburg, and Kinston recent- ly. A third term member of the House of Representatives, Jones is a member of the House Com- © mittee on Governmental Ethics. He chairs the House Committee on Commissions and Schools for the Blind and Deaf. Jones also serves as Vice-Chairman of the House Committees on Children and Youth and Human Resources.

Halitosis or bad breath can surely ruin your social life. All of that plaque and tartar can leave your breath very unpleasant. Keeping your mouth as clean as possible by brushing and flossing everyday is the first step in solv- ing this problem... Mouthwash alone will not do it. You must brush and floss several times a day to remove the plaque and bacteria to get results. Also ade- quate check-up appointments with your dentist or hygienist for a professional ‘‘cleaning’’ is necessary to achieve this. Why wait for a friend to tell you that your breath may be offen- sive? Do all that you can to achieve a healthy smile— Remember, a clean mouth can only help to improve your social life! ! i\ ht Public invited to spend afternoon with Santa The public is invited to spend an afternoon with Santa, Satur- day, December 12, at South Greenville Elementary School’s gym on Howell Street in Green- ville between the hours of 12:00 and 2:00.

Help is just a phone call The holiday season is upon us once again. It is a time to gather friends and family for lavish din ners, tree-trimming, gift giving merriment and song. Traditional ly, the holiday season is a happy time, a time to share with others life’s many blessings. Unfortunately, everyone does not share in this blissful holiday spirit. “For some peonle who are » without family ard friends, the loneliness that they feel al! year becomes accentuated,” said Mary Smith, Executive Director of the Real Crisis Intervention Center. ‘‘All the media specials. the posters, the advertisements show at least two people who care about each other coming together. This intensifies a per son’s feelings of loneliness and isolation because they can’t iden- tify with what they see.’’ The Real Crisis Intervention Center, a United Way Agency, has helped people through the ‘Holiday Blues’’ for the past 16 years. The staff and volunteers receive calls and walk-ins 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. “We've noticed a slight in- crease in client contacts shortly before the holiday season begins and after the holidays have pass- ed,’ Mary said. The pre-season contacts are usually people who anticipate enhanced feelings of loneliness or depression. The post-season contacts are usually people who have experienced a let-down or disappointment. Holidays are also difficult for families experiencing financial Food give away sponsored by Brotherhood Community Club The Brotherhood Community Club is sponsoring a food give away for the needy during the Christmas Holidays.

As you remember the birth of the Christ- child, may these days be filled with much joy for you and for those who are near and dear to you. Of course, we don’t like the commercialism that’s so mucha part of Christmas celebration, because it detracts from its true significance. But for those who know the Lord Jesus as Savior, the reminder of the time when “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”’ can be an occa- sion of genuine thanksgiving and praise to the Lord, who ‘“‘so lov- ed the world that He gave His on- ly begotten Son.” It is because of that great love- gift that we who receive Him are the recipients of eternal life. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 6:23).

That’s the message you get every day from the world around you. Give up your purity for premarital sex. Give up your youth for premature adulthood. Pass lt On = The test of our profession is not the sequestered gathering of believers on Sunday morning to sing hymns, enjoy the Word, and relax in Christian fellowship. No, it’s out in the streets—the com- munity, the neighborhood, the of- fice, the school. These become the proving ground for practical Christianity.

Mrs. Pearsall, director. of Operation Sunshine, only smiles. She is accustomed to these noisy afternoons which begin at 2:30 pm and end around 5:00 pm, five days a week. “They can be a little loud sometimes, but I don’t mind.

On the morning of November 28, the Angel of Silence came and closed the life of our loved one. Norma was reared in. Petersburg where she received her education at the Webster Davis High School and Virginia State University. She united with the First Baptist Church of Petersburg at an early age. When she was joined in Holy Matrimony to David A. Barnhill, Norma affiliated with the Sycamore Hill Missionary Bap- tist Church where she was active on the altar guild, in the youth department, in the Sunday School and on the deaconess board. She also was a member of the Benedict-Ettes and the Silhouet- tes. Norma was a retired social worker of the Greenville City Schools. She leaves loving memories to her husband, David A. Barnhill of the home; one daughter, Sandra D. Taylor of Philadelphia, Pa.; one son-in-law, Gary A. Taylor of Philadelphia, Pa.; three grand- doughters, Ina, Gina, and Nina Taylor of Philadelphia, Pa.; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert L.

Christmas BillionDollar must say something.6n every subject and on every. Occasion. Release me from craving to try to straighten out ever *s affairs. ves Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details, Give me wings to get to the point. I ask for grace enough to listen to the tales of other’s pains. Help me to endure them with patience. But seal my lips on my own aches and pains. They are increasing and my love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally it is possible that I may be mistaken. Keep me reasonably sweet; I do not want to be asaint.. .. some of them are so hard to live with . .. but a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all, but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. f. . * | By Beatrice Maye % és — INNER <7 11 By-pass, Ayden, N.C. 746-4032 | 99 WHILE a.

By Carolyn Laughinghouse Life can be described as thrill- ing, frustrating, intensifying, magnificient, challenging and fearful. Times comes when there is no way out, but through it all comes that break. That opening to success takes you a step forward. Hey all you have to do is to put one foot for- ward. Make up your mind and go. The one thing that can stop your success is ‘You.’ The mind has to correspond with the I can, will and do method. You have got to tell yourself; there is no stopping me now! But you have to be tough and determined. You have to stand up and fight for what you want. Your personality is the one key. Remember!! It’s nice to be im- portant .but it’s important to be nice. Your key to making it, is strug- gling and striving to survive. You have to go in the world and through it with the look and the feelings of I’m going to do it, “No matter what!” Your well-being plays an im- portant part of how you are going to be on top of any situation that faces you. You feel like you look. (Exam- ple!) Your ways and’ actions always speak louder than words. You have to keep a positive mind in most cases. If you should fail at first goals attemp- ted...remember . don’t give up. Just keep trying. Hold on and hope for the best of the matter. Life is filled with so many sur- prises. Yet you have to be prepared for any of that decides to come your way. You always feel the respon- sibilities of providing for yourself. To have someone by your side to help you along and praise you for the good you have done. This always makes you want to keep on doing well.

The oldest of these is the United Pitt County Citizens’ League which is the chartered unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the County. This is a loosely knit group of Negroes which primarily spon- sors the annual Emancipation Proclamation Day on January 1. The second group is the Pro- gressive Citizens’ Council. This Joe Cullipher Chrysler's DISCOUNT Specials 2 Door Coupe group was organized several years ago to act as a political in- strument for the Negro. Its first aim was to elect a Negro to the City Council, the group turned its full attention to civil rights, utiliz- ing its well-established organiza- tion with representatives from nearly every Negro group in the community. This Council has made all the petitions to white groups dealing with civil rights. On Sunday in October, 1963, a group from Williamston demonstrated in Greenville in protest over the housing of some of their demonstrators in the Pitt County jail. This was without incident.

Vet Center helps Vietnam veterans The Pitt County Vet Center is located on 150 Arlington Blvd., Suite B in Greenville. The Vet Center was established by Con- gress in 1979 out of the recogni- tion that a significant number of Vietnam Era Veterans were still experiencing lingering readjust- ment problems associated with their military duty during the Vietnam Era (August 1964-May 1975). Funded through September 1988, Vet Centers na- tionwide see an average of 6500 veterans each month, most who have never previously sought help for Vietnam-related difficulties. Vet Centers are the communi- ty based arms of the Veterans Administration’s Readjustment Counseling Service. Their goal is to provide a broad range of counseling, outreach and referral services to the veterans of the Vietnam Era in order to help them make a satisfying post war readjustment to civilian life. We all know that veterans take a lot of pride in helping each other. If you or your organization are interested in helping at the Vet Center, please given them a call. The office is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and evenings and weekends by appointment. Call (919)355-7920 for more information. Have A Happy New Year ® MANUFACTURER'S fgg DIAMOND SAMPLE Je SALE! 50% OFF a CAS & ‘ ae. ey Hines is newly crowned | Homecoming Queen at East Carolina University Math and music are the major interests of the newly-crowned Homecoming Queen for 1987 at East Carolina University, Kimberly Latrice Hines. The 19-year-old accounting ma- jor from Rocky Mount played the clarinet in her high school band and sings in the 90-member ECU Gospel Choir. So music is an im- portant part of her life. “In accounting,’’ she says, “‘you have to have a good begin- ning to be able to understand it at a higher level. Maybe music is like that.”’ Now a sophomore at ECU, Miss Hines was chosen to repre- sent the Gospel Choir as a can- didate for the university’s Homecoming Queen for the se- cond consecutive year. In 1986, another Gospel Choir represen- tative, Tonja Howell of Fort Washington, Md., was elected Homecoming Queen at ECU but Kimberly Hines also was nominated. When her election was an- nounced at halftime of the Homecoming Day football game in Ficklen Stadium, “I was pret- ty well estatic,’’ Kimberly says. “It was an honor to be nominated again.” From among the 35 girls chosen as representatives of stu- dent groups, the field was nar- rowed to a list of eight finalists who made up the Homecoming court. Miss Hines is the daughter of a Rocky Mount minister. Her mother is a teacher’s aide. She has two younger sisters and a younger brother. She became interested in ac- counting as a career while still in high school while taking business courses. ‘‘It’s more difficult and challenging in college,” she says. “I expected that. It’s hard work but I feel that it will pay off.” Her ambition is to be a certified public accountant (CPA) someday. Choosing East Carolina University for her college educa- tion was easy, she says. “It’s a good school, and the School of Business is one of the best anywhere. Also, East Carolina is big enough, not too big but not too small either. I love ECU. It’s a school you can relate to.” When her accounting assignments become tedious and other classwork heavy, Kimber- ly escapes the tension by turning to music. She rehearses once weekly with the Gospel Choir, or relaxes in her residence hall room or the student center’s music room listening to music. “Mostly jazz and gospel,’’ she says vance of Christmas. thru lane from 5th St. holidays, call 752-5627.
