Ms. Singh, owner and operator, offers gifts from around the world for the ‘‘person who has everything.” The lady’s apparel shop is the first of its kind to offer 100% pure silk scarves and dresses of exciting and vibrant colors imported from India. Once you have stepped into ‘‘The Peacock,’ you’ll know where the name comes from, and as you begin to brouse through the comfortable and relaxing at- mosphere of ‘‘The Peacock”’ you should discover a one-of-a- kind clothingline and uniquely designed 14kt. gold, silver, and brass jewelry and hand-crafted woodenware. Ms. Singh most humbly suggests, ‘‘There is NO substitute for quality!’ For the outfit no one else has, ‘“The Peacock”’ is the place for you at reasonable prices. The honorable Edward E.

Senator Lloyd Benson visited Greenville Senator Lloyd Benson, Democratic Party Nominee for Vice President of the United States visited Greenville last week. It was a major news and political event for Greenville. There was music, free barbeque, a big crowd, television coverage < by all major networks and live ‘ radio coverage by 1340 AM Radio, WOOW. Also, on the plat- form was almost every promi- nent democrat in the entire state: former Governor Jim Hunt, Secretary of Agriculture Jim Graham, and even Al Gore from Tennessee, who was himself a Presidential nominee before be- ing defeated by Michael Dukakis and Jesse Jackson. Also included in the crowd, on the east side of the Pitt County Courthouse were a very few vocal Republican sup- porters of Presidential candidate, George Busch. The rally which lasted almost 214 hours was attended by an en- thusiastic, but mostly white middle-class audience of office ewww nee HELP WHEREVER HELP IS NEEDED ...

Interestingly enough, the signs of massive black support was not visible at the Benson rally. In fact, blacks were scarce. Maybe the fact that it was a noon day af- fair caused most working blacks to be unable to attend. Even so, all blacks aren’t working at noon time. It was therefore obvious that when it comes to getting Afro-Americans enthusiastic about Democratic candidates, the Democrats have a long, long was to go here in Pitt County. Inside... .

Contrary to The ‘M’ Voice, other news media have ig- nored details leading up to elec- tions. Except for WOOW 1340 AM Radio, very little or nothing is be- ing aired to remind voters that important elections are right around the corner. Voter apathy is a big problem within our elec- torial process. It seems that so- meone should be saying something in the media. The ‘M’ Voice and WOOW are facing that civic obligation and should be saluted and commended for do- ing So. Afro-Americans living in Pitt County are exposed to more TV and Radio now, than ever before. Unfortunately, most of it is wor- thless garbage which pollutes the minds of our impressionable young people. Some radio sta- tions in our area do nothing ex- I Tawana Brawley Times, which revealed the panel's conclusions on Tuesday. During an interview program broad- cast on WLIB, a black-community oriented radio station in New York City, Sharpton said the three black activists would lead a protest in Brooklyn this afternoon that will “make the whole city stand still.” At the news conference in Newark, Sharpton challenged the grand jury and the New York Times to "give us one name of one witness that can establish that this was a hoax." Mason challenged Abrams and U. Attomey Rudolph Giuliani in Manh tan to “debate the racist system." Guiliani's spokeswoman, Debor Corley, said Guiliani issued the f 1) a ot Fi Editor cept broadcast unwholesome pro- grams that focus on fads, fashions, music and advertising. Of course radio, TV and newspaper owners can air whatever they please within the law. But something is wrong when major segments of the media ignore the important con- cerns of our communities. When was the last time you heard an announcement on WKISS 102 FM concerning anything about im- proving the quality of life in the Afro-American community? When was the last time that you read an article in THE DAI- LY REFLECTOR about the low voter turnouts or what the Board of Elections is doing to improve voter participation. How many videos on MTV or BET are real- ly wholesome and send a positive influence to our youth. Here in Pitt County, we are in the begin- ning of a new era. The ‘M’ Voice and WOOW are trying to help lead the way. They are showing that good media can be infor- mative and entertaining at the same time. These two voices are proving that they are very wor- thy of our suppport and our attention. did not lie’ lowing statement: ‘These people have proven by their irresponsible words and actions that they cannot be taken seriously. It would be inappropniate to dignify any- thing they say with a response,’ he said, Timothy Gilles, a spokesman for the atlorney general, said, "Abrams did not leak the grand jury materials to the Times and he has asked the state's special corruption prosecutor, Joe Hynes, to investigate who did.” He added, “Abrams is not going io comment on questions of whether Tawana Brawley lied or not until the release of the grand jury report.” Gilles said he could not comment on when the report would be released. Miss Brawley's mother, Glenda, and Glenda Brawley’s live-in boyfriend, Ralph King, were at the news confer- ence but did not speak. Miss Brawley and her family recently moved from Wappingers Falls, N.Y., to Virginia Beach, Va. If Glenda Brawley were to come to New York state, she would face arrest and 30 days in jail for defying a grand jury subpoena to testify in the investi- gation of her daughter's alleged abduction and attack.

There is usually little parental involvement with teach- ers and administrators who are educating the next generation. More importantly, it is a parent’s job to be a “‘good role model.’ No one can expect a child to become something the parent is not.

You'll constantly need ‘‘No”’ in your life. Use it wisely. Parents, you can make a big difference in how well your child does in school. Listen to what teachers say: 1. Create a healthy, suppor- tivehome environment. Make sure your child gets enough rest and eats breakfast, preferably not in front of the television. Know your child’s friends. 2. Read to your child and let him see you reading for your own pleasure; he’ll learn by your ex- ample. 3. Keep up with your child’s activities on a day to day basis. Go over his homework with him be- fore he passes it in. Note the dates of upcoming school events on a calendar sothat your childarrives prepared for them. And to make the teacher’s job a bit easier, sign and return school papers promptly. 4. Inform your child’s teacher of any problems or new situations that arise at home. If a teacher knows that a child’s parents are getting a divorce, that there’s been a death in the family or that a new baby has joined the household, he or she will be better equipped to help the child work through the problem or adjust to the new situ- ation. cis ii Rt rs sh ae ie Physical therapists open outpatient clinic at ECU A treatment program to help people with aching backs and pain in shoulders, elbows and knees is underway at East Carolina University in the Department of Physical Therapy. The department, a part of the ECU School of Allied Health Sciences, has established an out- patient clinic specializing in or- thopedic physical therapy applications. “We considered calling it a back clinic so that people could better understand what we do,” said George Hamilton, chairman of the Physical Therapy pro- gram. But he said calling it a back clinic tended to limit the wide range of services and treat- ment the clinic will provide. “The clinic can help people with back problems, and pro- blems associated with pain in the muscles and in the joints of the body,”’ he said. “Anybody who has low back pain, whiplash injuries, bursitis, tennis elbow, post fracture or some type of injury that causes the joint to be weak, painful or stiff can be helped by physical therapy,” he said. ‘‘We will also work to establish function in a joint after injury or surgery,”’ he said. The clinic will take referrals by physicians or individuals can call the Department of Physical Therapy at 757-4135 or 757-6961 to set up an appointment. Hamilton said the clinic is be- ing opened to provide a place for physical therapy faculty to main- tain their clinical skills while pro- viding a service to the citizens of Greenville and eastern North Carolina. He said the clinic will also be a teaching resource for students and will assist in the col- lection of research information for studies on the effectiveness of various treatments. ' The physical therapy depart- ment at ECU began in 1969 as one of the programs offered in the then new School of Allied Health. Although the program currently graduates about 24 students a year, the demand by students to major in Physical Therapy is high. Hamilton said the depart- ment gets more than 200 applica- tions for the spaces available each year in the curriculum. He said the department gets a cons- tant stream of calls and letters from potential employers outlin- ing the opportunities for graduates of the program. In past years the physical therapy program has provided a limited amount of clinical ser- vice, primarily to ECU students and faculty. This is the first time that it has offered a full time, full service clinic to the public. The Physical Therapy Department and its clinic is located in the Belk Allied Health Building. Therapy rooms on the first floor of the building contain an array of sophisticated equip- ment. There are tables for therapeutic exercise and massage and special exercise machines designed for manipulating certain muscles and joints. One of the machines is actual- ly a type of robot, called a Biodex, that can be programmed to enhance muscle and tendon development in the knee and other extremity joints.

Greenville 756-4145 machine can also help therapists analyze the extend of functional loss following injury or disease of a joint. Hamilton said that when an in- dividual comes to the clinic a physical therapist will evaluate the problem and make an assess- ment to determine what should be done. If the problem is something that cannot be helped by physical therapy then the therapist will suggest seeing a physician. “Our intent is to work closely with the medical community in helping people with musculo- skeletal problems,”’ he said. He said that one of the goals for the program is to combine the pa- tient care services offered by the faculty of the Department of Physical Therapy with the pa- tient care services offered by medical slchool faculty. “‘We see physical therapy as an extension of the physician,” Hamilton said. He said medical doctors can treat patients by administering drugs, performing surgery or by physical intervention. But he said physicians sometimes forget the physical intervention and rely solely on drugs and surgery. An example might be a patient who sees a physician for back pain. After examining the patient and taking x-rays, if the doctor can find no disease or major structural deficiency causing the problem the patient is sometimes told that the condition is fleeting and that it will get better with pain medication and rest. “‘Sometimes they do get better and sometimes they don’t,’’ said Hamilton. These minor problems sometimes grow into greater pro- blems because the patient will usually cut down on physical activity. ““As you cut down on activities you weaken your muscle and joint structure and allow biomechanical alterations to oc- cur,’ Hamilton said. ‘‘You then may be placed in a sudden demanding situation and your body can’t respond. When you can’t respond you _ injure yourself,” he said. “Early intervention and pa- tient education by the physical therapist can frequently reduce the extent of these adverse biomechanical changes and pre- vent more sever disability from occurring,” he said.

Shown at a gathering of black concerned brothers and sisters is the Rev. Ken Hammond, Martha Mudd, Norman Horn, and others with Bill Dansey, who is running for the 9th Senate Seat against incumbent Senator Tom Taft. The election is slated for November 8th. Wynonia Brewington Burke, the New Alliance Party's vice presi- dential candidate in North Carolina, and Emily Carter, a representative of Dr. Lenora Fulani’s independent presidential campaign, along with leaders of the Robeson County Jus- tice Committee, announced their plans to hold a demonstration én the campus of Wake Forest University at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25. The purpose of the demonstra- tion, says Burke, a Coharie Indian born and raised in North Carolina, is to protest the exclusion of Fulani from the major party-sponsored presidential debate taking place in the Wait Chapel that evening. "Keeping Lenora Fulani out of the debate on Sunday is the same as keeping the people of North Caroli- na out,” charged Burke. "She has traveled to Robeson County to stand up for the Indian and black commu- nities in their fight against official corruption and police brutality. The national spokesperson for her cam- paign, Vernon Bellecourt, a leader of the American Indian Movement, came to Robeson at the request of the community when Julian Pierce was murdered. We are protesting the ongoing persecution of Eddie Hatcher, who was forced to flee for his life, the unpunished murder of Julian Pierce, the endless crimes against people of color that the bi- partisan ‘political ¢stablishment of this state condones, and the unabat- Lenora Fulani ed war of intimidation that is going on right now against the people of Robeson County." Sunday's debate is the first in a national series being sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates, the joint creation of the Demccratic and Republican nation- al committees. Fulani, the first Afro-American ever to be on the ballot in all 50 states and the Dis- trict of Columbia, was informed earlier this week that she was ineli- gible to participate in the Commis- sion-sponsored debates because she could not demonstrate that she has a chance of winning the election. The demonstration at Wake Forest Uni- versity coincides with a lawsuit -Fulani is being excluded," New Alliance Party held demonstration on September 25 being brought by Fulani against the Commission. The candidate is seek- ing an injunction against the debates unless she is allowed to participate. "It is an insult to the people of Robeson County and the whole state of North Carolina for Mr. Bush and Mr. Dukakis to march arrogant- ly in and pretend to have a ‘demo- cratic debate of the issues’ when the| life and death issues that the people | face are being excluded because Dr. Burke.

Long-term behavior effects of cocaine Long-term behavioral effects of cocaine and its highly potent derivative, crack, on infants born to drug-abusive mothers will be investigated in an East Carolina University School of Medicine study supported by an$80,080 grant from the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration. Dr. Brian A. McMillen, as- sociate professor of pharmacol- ogy at ECU. will spend the next three years determining behav- ioral effects of the drugs at all stages of gestation. He also hopes to discover the link between these effects and the biochemical changes which cause them. Physicians believe that pre- natal exposure to these drugs is responsible for hyperactivity and learning and memory impair- ments in children born to cocaine- addicted mothers. “Our research is novel be- cause unlike other studies of late, we are concentrating on the con- sequences of cocaine exposure in each stage of postnatal develop- ment,’’ said McMillen. Hesaid previous studies have emphasized the drug’s immediate effects on infants at birth, which include uncontrollable crying spells, severe birth defects and seizures. “If we can determine bio- chemical changes in the brain leading to behavioral dysfunctions perhaps we will be able to develop drug therapy and other forms of (Continued on page 8) SERVICES RENDERED Willing to Make Deliveries to Raleigh on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Eppes | The 750-page report was released by Dr. C. Everett Koop, U.S. Sur- geon General. ‘It provides detailed information on how Americans’ overall health could be improved by a few specific but fundamental dietary changes. A primary priority given for die- tary cHange is to reduce intake of total fats, especially saturated fat, because of their relationship to several of the chronic diseases which are leading causes of death in the United States. “I’m in total agreement with the overall conclusion of the report,’’ said Gallagher. ‘‘ Andthatis if you don’t drink excessively and you don’t smoke then what youeat can be-the most significant influence on your health,” she said. “It’s pretty obvious, the evidence supports the lowering of choles- terol in diets,” she said. She said diets that consist of foods high in fat but low in complex carbohy- drates and fiber are associated with anincreased risk of coronary heart disease. These high fat diets also increase the risk of diabetes, obesity and some types of cancer. Gallagher said she was most in- terested in the information con- tained in the report on Omega 3 fatty acids because this is an area where she has been conducting research. Found in fish oil, Omega 3 is believed to reduce cholesterol levels in humans.

I, like the rest of the public, am left with my own devices to seek the truth. We may never know conclu- sively whether the episode in ques- tion took place or not, but there is the truth that refuses to die or go away. All white people are not good and all Afro-American people are not bad. Conversely, all Afro-American people are not good and all white people are not bad. But the truth is constant. When I was the dean of Howard University's School of Communications, which had five departments, I had a mural painted on the wall outside of my versal forces which will punish her tevin dat aly. conte Whichever we learn, we, will . grow. The truth must, of necessity, transform us into a force to imple- ment God's will -- which is, acknow!- edge it or not, also our personal des- tiny. Afro-Americans much too often see what we wish to see, not the reali- ty. Instead of finding truth, justice and equality, we find more agitation and rejection.

Across the top it said : "A Search For The Truth.” As I have said for years, "The truth has no negative con- notations." Afro-Americans wil] be better off when and if they find out the truth about Tawana Brawley’s accusa- tions and her character. If both pass the test of truth, we will know that once again, Afro-Americans have been robbed of decency and justice by a system that is morally corrupt.

Devotion toward whites is not sufficient to liberate Afro-Ameri- cans, There can be no liberation or salvation without an acceptance of reality. Nobody can take us where we have to take ourselves. That place is the truth of race and racism. If we believe that all Afro-Americans are always right, we will always be vic- tims of Afro-Americans.
