The committee to elect Wilkins, Cordon, Boone, Thomas and Purnell. Perhaps the most crucial elec- tion of our time is rapidly ap- proaching. There is a dire need to correct some long standing pro- blems which have been neglected in the minority and low income neighborhoods. These problems are a threat to the life and proper- ty of all Plymouth citizens. Why haven’t these mounting problems been solved? Is there no more respect for life nor property? There are solutions to these pro- blems, but the solution to these problems appears to be the kill- ing and jailing of the victims. We need representatives like, Wilkins, Cordon, Boone, Thomas and Purnell who will stand up and demand programs, which will help to heal our drug and violent infested community. We need programs which will allow all youth to intermingle, thus giving them better human relations. We need more jobs and a more equal distribution of wealth. (MOST OF THE RICH ARE DOING THE CRIME AND THE POOR ARE GETTING THE TIME.) If the minority and low income com- munity would see their common plight, then we can put an end, owned a majority of Downtown Plymouth and.made major con- tributions to the greatness of this city. History’s voice yet echoes and challenges us to write a new chapter by electing our coun- cilpersons and our Bro-Minister Robert L. Wilkins as our Mayor. With your support, history will always tell of the citizen of Plymouth, who had a sense of the past and present, and who dared to step in the future. On November 7th we shall leave a monument for all future generations to look upon with divine pride. To be successful in our efforts to elect Melvin Cor- don, John Boone, Carolyn Thomas, Louis Purnell as coun- cilpersons and Minister R. L. Wilkins as Mayor, we need your vote as well as your financial sup- port. Your vote will guarantee representation while your finan- cial support will enhance our chances to win this historical election.

It does take ongoing plann- — ing and perseverance, but the © rewards are worth your time and effort. ’ The secret to success is to believe homework is necessary to reinforce your child’s schoolwork, and treat it accor- dingly. Making homework a. family commitment can help your child develop lifelong study skills, self-discipline, and in- dependence. Conversely, if you think homework is a waste of time, so will your child. Here are some tips: Start early.The preschooler is prepared for future homework when you establish a brief daily “quiet time’’ for stories. Continue this. pleasant routine through kindergarten and first grade with a half hour for reading or board games. When homework is even- tually assigned, your child will expect and welcome daily study time. Be consistent. Doing homework should become as in- evitable as suprise! Agree upon homework rules at the beginning of each school year, and make sure they are faithfully followed. Kids who have the homework habit will adapt as assignments become more arduous in upper grades. Plan. Try a calendar or chart that allows children to block in a regular schedule and learn to balance homework, play, and chores. Students in the early years should budget a half hour for homework while middle schoolers may need as much as two hours to complete P.O.

Children need ample free time after school before starting homework, and also need to go to bed on time. Cooperate. Your youngster will study more willingly if he or she helps make the rules. Com- promise can work wonders. For example, if you choose to permit listening to music but cut out phone calls, you answer the phone during the homework period and take messages. So long as the student is doing well, allow him or her to choose the most comfortable place to study—the kitchen table, the bedroom desk, the living room floor, or wherever! More than one? If you have several children, experiment to determine if the children do best studying together or in separate areas. Each may have a different schedule, with rules varying ac- cording to age. For example, your middle school student may benefit from studying with a friend at the friend’s home or at the library. Expect some socializ- ing also, but make sure your child accomplishes the tasks. Individual needs count. Each child needs a homework routine that fits individual age, health, temperament, and study skills and weaknesses. Homework may be a struggle for one child, a breeze for another. The slightest distraction may hamper some kids while others could study in a stadium. You may have to help one child more than another, but please: never berate a child mak- ing unfavorable comparisons to another child. Let your child do _ the homework. That’s the only way a child will learn! But do help your youngster organize study time.

With problems in other areas such a zoning, traffic flow, and signage. The list goes on and on.We need good council members to project five, ten, fifteen years into the future to best cope with these situ- ations. 3. Thoroughfare Planning - Thoroughfare Planningis crucial to our growth. In my hometown of Wilmington, N.C., it is almost like driving in New York City. Greenville does not have a good passage running from one side of town to another without twisting and turning to get there. Ina city with a university, a community college and a health service cen- ter so geographically close, we have an increased chance of un- necessary wrecks because of the heavy traffic flow on certain streets. Part of this problem is being solved now with Evans Street and future plans for five- laning parts of Arlington Boule- vard. Think of our population growing to57,106 by the year 2000. 4, Code Compliance - This is a high priority with me. We want Greenville to “properly” grow; we also want it to be a beautiful city. There are neighborhoods and subdivisions with mostly beauti- ful homes and landscaping. Within those same neighborhoods, there are homes with one to three used cars sitting on cinder blocks with grass growing up tothe doors. The values of homes go down in these situations. Within this month, legislation is being con- ducted to remove such eyesores from our communities: 5.

Always reward your youngster with praise and hugs for a deligent session. Keep in touch with the teacher. If your child doesn’t understand an assignment, call the teacher the next day. Be sure to let the teacher know if your child needs extra help. Off to a bad start. If homework has become a power struggle in your home, call a truce! Work with the student and teacher or principal to plan a new homework routine. Be patient. It takes time for good new homework habits to take root. Some Thoughts: 1. Vacation time is testing time. What you do when when you feel free reveals what you really are. When you're away trom home, are you as sober and responsible, as honest and generous, as kind and con- siderate as you are at home? Don’t forget being away from home is not being away; from God. 2. Two simple prayers for children: MORNING PRAYER Heavenly Father, we are thankful For Thy love and tender care. Help us learn and make new friends. Teach us children how to share. SNACK TIME PRAYER Thank you for the food we eat Thank you for the world so sweet Thank you for the birds that sing Thank you God for everything. 3. “Don’t be misled; remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it: a man will always reap just the kind of crop he sows’’.

When one of the Church members was de- nied a loan of $300.00 by a local bank, four of the Church mem- bers got together and through their personal contributions raised the money the farmer needed. This pooling of resources ‘to meet a credit need which an existing financial institution had denied led to the idea of a credit union. Shortly thereafter in 1944, the St.Luke Credit Union was chartered with a membership of 192 and assets of $500.00.

Recently, it expanded its geo- graphical base to include Martin County and the town of William- ston. It has a potentiai member- ship in two county area of 10,000. While the Credit Union’s growth may not be viewed as spectacu- lar, its achievements have been significant. Since its beginning, the Credit ‘Union placed a strong emphasis upon community development loans and home improvement and ownership. These loans have cre- ated and preserved 230 jobs and generated a weekly payroll in the two counties where unemploy- ment often reaches a rate of 10%. The credit union over the years have made more than 5 million in housing loans, enabling more than 350 low-income and middle-income families to own their own homes. Its loan-to-share ratio is over 100%. The Credit Union has paid a dividend to its membership since it first organized and have contin- ued to pay a higher than average dividend for members savings on share account, deposit accounts and certificate of deposits. The average members savings has continued to improve and is now $2,600.00 and the board is attempt- ing to be more aggressive in improving regular additions to members savings. While most of the Credit Union’s loans have come from members savings, non-members. deposits, from Baptist, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Holi- ness, Disciples and Methodist Churches, Office of community services, social conscious inves- tors have help the credit union achieve its successes. The down-to-earth, common sense approach of the staff and the board in their management and lending decisions; their per- sistence and dedication in fulfill- ing clearly perceived community needs; and a strong belief that individuals working together can enhance the ability of one to help one’s self continues to guide the philosophy of our credit union.

McRee has been involved in promoting AIDS education pro- aneerg dpyau North Carolina the last several years and works as a consultant to state and national agencies, providing data on the effects of AIDS on commu- pena: particularly minority "fae to Dr. Donald E. Ensley, associate chairman of campaign mayoral hopeful Rudolph Giuliani took a giant step back- wards last week, following motor mouthing, racially charg- ed comments from his honorary campaign chairman, the less than funny comedian Jackie Mason. Mason, a Giuliani sidekick since the former U.S. attorney announced his candidacy, in an interview with a local reporter demonstrated clearly the course the campaign has taken since media consultant Roger Ailes (of George Bush/Willie Horton infamy) came aboard. Deriding Rev. Jesse Jackson and Min. Louis Farrakhan as Mafiosos, Mason’s manager Jyll Rosen- feld got the ball rolling in con- demnation of Dinkins. “Dinkins is surrounded by Anti-Semites,’’ Rosenfeld stated to Village Voice reporter Robert I. Friedman. ‘‘Jackson and Farrakhan are like the Mafia. They must have some- thing on Dinkins. Jews are of- fended by Jackson, who has never disavowed Farrakhan, a Black Nazi.” According to Mason, who aligned himself with Meir Kahane and his wishes to see all Arabs expelled from Israel, Dinkins is a do nothing politi- cian. “You don’t need a guy like Dinkins, who spends his whole life putting on shirts and jack- ets and parting his hair,’’ the Jewish ‘‘comic’’ said. “Dinkins looks like a Black model with- out a job. Giuliani has ac- complished more in one day of his life than Dinkins has in his whole lifetime, Dinkins is a great role model for people who want to prove that at the age of 62 you can still be tall.” “It is simply racism in its most crude and barbaric form and is similar to the racist pro- paganda uttered by Goebbels Mayoral candidate Rudolph ( Mason. against Jews in Germany in the 1930s,” stated Activist Attor- ney Colin Moore. ‘‘By extreme irony of history, the comedian has becbme the Goebbels of New York City.” Mason, an ordained rabbi who grew up on the lower East Side, stated the Jewish vote is cru- cial. “If Dinkins wins, the major reason will be because he got a reasonable percentage of the Jewish vote,’ Mason said. ‘The Jews are constantly giving mil- lions of dollars to the Black peo- ple. Have you ever heard of a Black person giving a quarter to a Jew? I’m not saying Blacks should be giving to the Jews, but Jews don’t owe anything to Blacks,” adding ‘If Dinkins was white and you put his track record against Giuliani's track record, he wouldn’t get a single Jewish vote.” tiuliani and his sidekick Jackie David Fishlow, Dinkins’ spokesman said he was dis- gusted by Mason’s remarks and believed that fair minded people wouldn’t think they represent the attitude of the City’s Jewish community, but rather Mason’s. . “This is most unfortunate, and it is not a matter to joke about,”’ Rev. Ben Chavis stated. ‘‘New York City is at a histori- cal moment and | am confident the residents will see the wis- dom and opportunity to vote strongly in favor of Dinkins.” NAACP’s Hazel Dukes ‘‘as- tounded” by Mason’s remarks fired off a sharply worded telegram to Mason, demanding a public apology to both the African-American and Jewish communities. It’s time we learned to love ourselves If violence means to exert physi- cal abuse, to injure, to profane or to assault with verbal rage, then what does nonviolence mean? Does nonviolence simply mean not to exert physical abuse, not to injure, not to profane or not to assault with verbal rage? Most of the people I know believe in this rather passive interpretation and, asa result, we have come to ex- pect civil rights fighters to simply absorb the blows and insults of their enemies. Could, perhaps, a more accurate (andrefined) meaning be toact by complying, obeying, upholding, respecting, honoring and cherish- ing. These two ways of looking at the ' ‘Tony Brown's Or Se a es e iw CS _S eNATIONALLY SYNDICATED COLUMNe concept of nonviolence are by no means exclusive; there is very little distinction in the intention. But action does distinguish itself from passivity, in that it demands overt behavior. I started thinking about nonvi- olence when I read a recent cover story by Juan Williams on Coretta King in The Washington Post Magazine. Much of the story was devoted to her critics, who were very violent in their assessment of Martin Luther King’s widow. Two of these critics were White men who have written books on Martin Luther King and rode to literary fame on the back of a movement from which they were detached. Others were subalterns of Dr. King, men who have paid their dues, but have different vi- sions of how his legacy can be applied to resolving today’s pov- erty. Mrs. King’s vision of her hus- band’s legacy is closer to, literally, her heart. It is also shaped by her concern for her children and the resentment she feels about not being recognized for her own ability to contribute. She must be credited with, almost single handedly, transforming MLK’s image into an American legend. The King Center in Atlanta, for which Mrs. King has raised $10 million in 14 years, is the bricks and mortar of this legend. Anditis here that MLK’s life-meaning has been defined as nonviolence. Mrs. King even calls the King Center ‘‘the West Point of nonviolence.” The Post story said that ‘‘she expects to train a new generation of leadership, an army of 10,000 within 10 years, schooled in her husband’s philosophy of bringing about social change.”’ av make. But the fact of business is: Hard decisions must be made, and we hope the people in charge have the guts to make them. A considerable part of the cur- rent hostage debate is over what we can do to save the hostages. I sympathize with that sentiment and my heart goes out to the hos- tages and their families. But I ask: How much of our response should be dictated by concern for the safety of the hostages? Before coming to grips with that question, let’s look at other situ- ations involving lives. Suppose a submarine commander were steaming to rescue some downed airmen, and his radarman in- formed him of a squadron of in- coming enemy aircraft, would we expect him to abandon the air- men in order to protect his ship and his men? Or would we expect him to risk all in an effort to save American lives? During World War II, when the Allied Command ordered satura- tion bombing of Frankfurt, Ber- lin, and Munich, would you have scrubbed the mission upon receiv- ing intelligence that Allied pris- oners of war were being held in those cities? Hitler would have loved to have hada U.S.president around at that time who consid- ered those lives overly precious and called off the bombing. Middle East disputes, Israel’s role in them, and our own bun- gling foreign policy are not the main issues in the current crisis. What is at issue are the basic principles of international con- duct governing the ways that nations negotiate and settle their differences. The focal point of any discussion of our response should be: What are the best steps to take to reduce the chances of future ter- rorism? The Bush administra- tion should make it plain that taking hostages, blowing up civil- ian airliners, and committing other acts of international terror- ism are not profitable. You don’t convince terrorists of this by congressional resolution condemning terrorism. Nor do you convince them by being will- ing, as George Bushhas indicated, to consider negotiating with Iran (through a third party) over its This new nonviolent “‘army’’ of « new leaders may want, to go on a © field trip to the King-Kennedy ' public housing project in Cleve- © land. A coalition of Black groups there has demanded that the U.S. governmentassign federal agents to their buildings to halt the drug violence seen in all of its varied forms. This violence is not easy to understand, like, say, Selma or Birmingham. I wonder what violence will mean to this ‘‘army”’ from which, Mrs. King hopes, a new Black leader- ship will emerge. Will they pre- pare themselves for blows to the head and skinhead-’’nigger’’-talk or nonviolent action that is tai- lored for today’s violence? There is urban violence where largely Blacks kill Blacks; there is drug-abuse violence where people commit suicide; there is family violence where members separate; there is cultural violence where Blacks want to be White; and there is spiritual violence where Blacks believe that Godhas abandoned them. Add to that, leadership violence where leaders abandon the needs of the people for cars, houses, jewelry and their pictures in the paper with White people; class violence where middle-class Pil make vou vob, steal and kill I'm the King of Crime and the Prince of Destruction I'll cause the organs of your body to malfunction.

Americans must have the will ‘and resolve to exact a high cost from terrorists and the nations who back them. But what do we hear from Washington? Politi- cians and military “‘experts”’ whine, ‘‘We don’t know who the terrorists are, or where they are keeping our people.” Suchexperts ought to be canned. If the tiny nation of Israel can find and ar- rest Sheik Obeid, and be in and out in an hour, why can’t we de- velop similar intelligence and adeptness? Instead of all the whining and hand wringing, we need touse our carrier-based Mediterranean and Indian Ocean naval fleets to send an unambiguous message to both the terrorists, andthenations who back and harbor them, that the principles of international con- duct do not include terroristic acts, and heavy military sanc- tions will be imposed on nations WALTER WILLIAMS who support terrorists. President Bush needs to look at President James Madison’s for- eign policy. Barbary Coast pirates were preying on U.S. and Euro- pean shipping. The United States and Europe dealt with the pirates by paying tribute and ransom resulting in higher demands. Finally, Madison sent in a naval force headed by Admiral Stephen Decatur. The pirating stopped. VOTE FOR WILKINS (Continued from page 1) 5. Pushed for increase in street pavement and sidewalks in the Black Community 6.

The evolution of style is what's important today! THE GREAT AMERICAN CLAS- SICS will present a new fashion clarity. While ‘fashion addicts” may fear the term classic, they too will be pleasantly surprised. Fashionis, after all, a reflection of the society who wears it. As we watch the eighties go down: in history as a flamboyant and superficial era, even fashion looks forward to the ‘‘kinder, gentler”’ nineties. This season’s shapes are modern renditions of original designs, in- fluenced by classic people, places and eras. If here today, gone tomorrow is not for you - Remem- ber, style never goes out of fash- ion.

Serving the past eight years as a council member and as mayor protem, I have gained many valuable ex- periences which will help me to make wiser decisions, I have dedicated my time and efforts toward serving the needs of Washington’s citizens and will continue,” said Brothers. “In an effort to best serve our city’s needs, if elected, I promise to continue to study facts, listen to opinions and arrive at the most logical conclusions. Again, I ask for your vote and support in the October election,’’ he said. Brothers said he would like to be re-elected so he can continue working with police and city school officials in attacking the drug problem. The councilman said he also wants to continue assisting the police department in making needed changes for bet- ter service. Brothers said he also sees a need for improvising city streets. He served on the Board of Ad- justment for 11 years and a year on the Martin County Communi- ty Action Board of Directors. He served on the InterAgency Discipline Committee and as president of the N.C. Teachers Association and the N.C. Educators Association, He is a member of the Pamlico Pals ad- visory board, the board of direc- tors of NCNB and is an ex-officio member of the city’s Human Relation Council.

He is a volunteer examiner for the Amateur Radio Relay League. i Brothers is a graduate of the | University of Maryland-Eastern — Shore and has attended East a and Norfolk State Nationally known consumer advocate, Ralph Nader, and his team of scientists and researchers have “struck again” Ralph Nader, nationally known consumer advocated and his team of scientists and resear- chers have ‘‘struck again.’’ On January 5, 1988, the C-span Net- work carried a television report from Nader and his scientific support group on a new subject: chlorinated water. During the course of the presentation, Nader himself made comments concerning the chlorination of water and the lack of information brought to the public concerning possible side effects. Nader’s scientific represen- tative took the podium to further _ discuss the potential dangers of chlorination and to offer possibilities for a solution. His answer of course encompassed a major effort by the government to generally improve the quality of American drinking water. When pressed by a reporter in attendance as to what an in- dividual can do NOW, he answered, and demonstrated Granular Activated Carbon Filtration. He further demonstrated the loose carbon can be used for a low-cost, low- volume situation, but also cited several commercial units being produced. He warned against units with too little carbon to be effective, and units which aren’t bacteriostatic. THE PRESENTATION IS AVAILABLE THROUGH C- SPAN. THE VIDEO MAY BE ORDERED BY CONTACTING: C-SPAN TAPE LIBRARY, SUITE 155, N. CAPITAL ST. N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20001. The cost is $100 per tape. Obviously, a group such as Ralph Nader’s DOES NOT make any endorsements of specific pro- ducts or types of products. However, the method which they suggest is exactly what our com- pany produces. Please be careful in presenting this material NOT TO IMPLY any type of endorsement. We applaud Nader’s research and stance on this subject. We are proud that it is a story NSA has been part of for years. Fall Horizon (Continued from page 10) 1989 at Wright Auditorium on campus of ECU.
