Total assets invested in funds grew from $95 billion to nearly $1 trillion during the 1980s—an annual average in- crease of 26 percent, So far during the 90s, assets in mutual funds have continued to increase at a healthy 20 percent annually.Recent increases in in- terest rates, however, have pres- sured stock prices and chilled the performance of many mutual funds. Not surprisingly, the result has been a slower movement of investment monies into the funds.Mutual funds, however, con- than they could re- your investments without having to commit large sums of money to purchase — individual shares.Mutual funds are collec- tions of from 30 to 300 separate stocks or bonds managed by a pro- fessional fund manager working for an investment company. The manager is trained to select in- vestments that fit the fund’s objec- tives and to decide when to buy and sell those holdings. Many in- vestorsin mutual funds figure that it’s easier to let a professional make those kind of decisions rather than try picking individual investments themselves.

If you buy funds that are one of many operated by a particular company, you often can switch among funds easily—it may take only a phone call. There are thousands of mu- tual funds from which to choose. The ones you select will depend on what you want your money to do for you. A number of publications list the funds that are available and rate their performance. Spe- cificinformation about what types of investments the fund can and cannot make, and under what con- ditions, are spelled out in the fund’s prospectus.Diversity is the main advantage. By owning shares in a mutual fund—rather than the in- dividual shares—you are cush- ioned against changes in the price of an individual stock or bond and you're spreading the risk: While the price of one stock declines, for example, the price of another may rise. Liquidity is another advan- tage; your money can be withdrawn easily and, thus, is readily available.A word of caution: In- vestments in mutual funds aren’t guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government, Mutual funds are, however, heavily regulated under federal and state securities laws, most importantly the Investment Company Act of 1940. Although you can lose money by investing in mutual funds, not a single fund has “gone bankrupt” in the53 years since the passage of the Act.

There’s a little of the rebel in all of us—especially when we're grow- ing up—This is often reflected in teenage attitudes toward drink- ing—many teenagers look forward to their legal drinking age as the threshold of a more glamorous life—and some even attempt to move this age forward through a rebellion againstauthority.Or they may feel that using alcohol will make it easier to fit in with the crowd, and help them be “in on things.”Having friends, being liked and accepted by the group is im- portant to everyone, at every age. But it’s especially important to teenagers.Yet those who drink because they feel it makes them attractive, or better able to fit in with the crowd, find that drinking does not make them glamorous. . . or even better liked. If you live in an average American community, it’s likely that alcoholic beverages are for sale and in common use there. In today’s society, where drinking is accepted, every young person growing to adulthood is faced with a decision whether or not to follow the social custom of drinking alcoholic beverages.Those who choose not to drink at all should not feel any obligation to conform to the pres- sure of others. Those who choose to drink should be aware that there are dangers involved in the use of alcoholic beverages. One of these dangers is alcoholism—a disease that develops insidiously and pro- gressively in about 1 out of every 15 persons who drink alcoholic beverages. The signposts or symp- " toms are clearly identifiable and a well-informed person can detect the kind of drinking that may be leading to alcoholism. People who develop alcoholism do so because they use alcohol for reasons which are different from those of most persons who drink. In place of an occasional drink for sociability and conviviality, they drink because alcoho] makes them feel less inad- equate, inferior and insecure. Be- ing a depressant, (a drug) alcohol pushes off the insecure feelings and blurs anxieties. So... MANNERS 1, Sit and rise from the table from the left of your chair as you face the table. 2.

Put rolls and butter on the bread and butter plate, if there is one. otherwise, use the salad plate if Itis dry. Use the dinner plate, if necessary. 9. Lift food to the mouth on the fork whenever possible. Never push prongs into the food unless absolutely necessary. Some sal- ads necessitate an exception. 10. Use silver from the outside in.Trust the person who set the table to tell you, in this way, which pieces to use first. 11. Notice your hostess, if present, or those at the head table. Place your napkin in yourlap when the hostess moves hers. Open full size if itis a lunch napkin, halfifit is a large dinner napkin. Do not refold the napkin at the end of the meal. Leave it unfolded at the right side of the plate. 12. Place the knife and fork at the center of the plate, handles toward the right, when the meal has ended. 13.

In restaurants, leave a tip of 15 to 20 percent. Never leave less than 25 cents. 25 Again, good manners, and respect and consideration for oth- ers precede etiquette if a choice must be made. Gentlemen Vs. Ladies A gentleman is a courteous, gracious man with a strong sense of honor. A lady is a woman who is polite, refined, and _ well- mannered.Today, the world needs more ladies and gentlemen. Please mothers and fathers, let your chil- dren see these qualities, attributes,characteristics in you, for “more is caught than taught”. Ladies still respect men who open doors, walk on the curb side, have table manners, allow them to precede them through doors, as- sist older or feeble ladies upsteps, take off caps and hats when intro- * duced, rise if seated to shake hands, instead of saying “excuse me for not standing”, is careful about his language, and who sneezes or many All of us can check up, read up on common, everyday courtesies. ight? Good manners are never obso- lete. These reality judge a gentle- man or a lady. As Jesse Jackson says, “Any man can get a baby, but it takes a real father to rear him”. Would your son nominate you as his role model? Would you be deserving if he should? For Your Information — ANNOYANCE CALLS Have a Sprint Caller ID attached to your telephone.

ANSWER: At least four signifi- cant reasons usually surface: 1. They fear they will lose popu- larity. What “Others” think domi- nates their decision-making. They fear relationships will be affected — they may lose friends. Other made upon a person and that person’s perceived ability to re- | spond, the greater the level of - stress and consequent fear. THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: No matter what the odds may be, one person and God is a major- ity. Be encouraged tostandfor what - he or she believes to be right,even - though the majority may disagree. You can love your neighbor with- out loving God, but you cannot love God without loving your neigh- bor. God said to Israel, “Obey and be blessed; disobey and be cursed”. That principle is eternally true. To keep growing in Christ, keep going to church. » Lan © | PSF &F SCRE ER EE Honoring our parentsislearned | by example.

There was no legal protection for the Black man, woman and child. The Su- preme Court turned a deaf ear to their cries for justice. It willingly embraced amnesia and ignored its duty to uphold the Constitution, especially the 14th Amendment (which guarantees all citizens equal protection under the law) and the 15th Amendment (guaranteeing American citizens the right to vote.) Black children were being deprived of a decent education, and no one seemed to care. In 1909 a concerned interracial group of 60 people, including W. E. B. Dubois, breathed life into an organization aimed at bettering the plight of Blacks in America called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). This organiza- tion changed society as we knew it. With a strong legal department, a thriving publicity bureau and a powerful political and civil rights bureau, the NAACP has been suc- cessful in making significant changes in education, litigation and legislation. It is directly responsible for co- ercing Congress to enact a series of laws making discrimination in public facilities, employment, edu- cation, legislation and housing il- legal. No one can look at the nation’s integrated public school system without remembering the 1954 Legal Defense Fund giant Thurgood Marshall waging war on the Board of Education of To- peka, Kansas on behalf of 9-year- old Linda Brown. In this case, Brown vs. Board of Education, the Supreme Court deemed discrimination in educa- tion unconstitutional, ruling that state public schools desegregate “with all deliberate speed.” This case overruled the 1896 “separate butequal” Plessy v. Ferguson case. The NAACP also published The Crisis, a magazine that not only publicized every injustice done to Blacks but offered solutions. It was a vehicle by which progressive and aggressive ideas were spread throughout the Black community, causing its readership to swell up with a passion for change and join in the NAACP’s fight for freedom. Since its inception, members of the NAACP have been concerned with people of color worldwide. At the 1978 convention, held in Cin- cinnati, over 2,000 delegates took a strong stand against the war in Southeast Asia and called for an immediate withdrawal of Ameri- can troops. As part of their mission, they have spearheaded pan-african movements worldwide. DuBois used The Crisis as a platform to inform Negroes about Africa and her plight. He also showed how the U.S. and Britain colonized her. In the late ’70s, under the lead- ership of their last executive direc- tor, Benjamin Hooks, the NAACP challenged Capitol Hill to take an aggressive stance on its policies toward African nations. Because of numerous victories achieved by this 85-year-old orga- nization, Blacks dine at any lunch counter and restaurant they choose; they no longer have to drink from rusty water fountains desig- nated by “Jim Crow” and lynching asentertainmentis nolonger fash- ionable. Doors have opened for Blacks to become blue-collar and white-col- lar workers. There is not one uni- versity or college in this countries whose population is not at least one percent Black. By exercising the right to vote and serving on juries, African-Americans are ex- panding their political power. The recent headlines concern- ing the NAACP’s present execu- tive director, Benjamin Chavis, should not overshadow the organization’s historical achieve- ments, nor should it snowball the work he has done in the short time he’s been there. His courage to include leaders of all factions of the Black commu- nity in the African-American Lead- ership Summit is noteworthy and so is his role in helping to diffuse the Black rage which sparked the Los Angeles riots. Chavis spent 10 years in prison for standing up for Civil Rights. Great minds such as Roy Wilkins and Walter White help to build the strong foundation the organiza- tion continues to build on today. In its struggle to better the lives of Blacks in this country they offer job referrals, tutorials and day care services. They also sponsor semi- nars and provide scholarships and training for young Black lawyers. The NAACP Housing Corp. con- tinues to assist in the develop- ment of low and moderate income housing for families. And the struggle against insidi- ous forms of racism in every area of American life is the work of the NAACP. It changes as the struggle changes.

Frazier fights for equal justice (As promised under the “Ameri- can Way”) The Justice System in this coun- try is built, supposedly, upon the premise that ALL men are pre- sumed innocent until proven guilty. However, in many instances the absolute reverse of this prin- ciple seems to prevail. Guilt is readily assumed, making one’s innocence even more difficult to establish. Then, to complicate this dilemna even further, consider the “double standard” that exists and is applied at the discretion of those persons in positions of authority. That is the system that uses one standard to govern brothers and a different standard to govern others.Such is the plight of Attor- ney Reginald Frazier, who has been - disciplined by the N. C. State Bar for allegedly embezzling or misuse of clients’ monies., Charges based on hearsay evidence. Frazier, while not the only attorney to be scruti- nized in this manner, finds how- ever that the standard applied in other situations is not the same standard that is applied to him. Clearly, racial insensitivity and personal feelings in this case have abused Frazier's civil er, however, is exer- his right to appeal the deci- ona District Court Judge the complete Judicial Sys- 1 to add his input CONGRATULATINS TO MR.

ECU program helps children manage cronic abdominal pain GREENVILLE—On the eve of a major academic exam, most of us have experienced that sudden, nagging stomach pain that myste- riously disappears when we an- swer the last question. That’s not uncommon, says Dr. Allan Rosenberg, pediatric gastroenter- ologist with the Department of Pediatrics at the ECU School of Medicine. However, 15 percent of school- age children suffer from recurrent abdominal pain with such fre- quency that they miss an average of 26 days of school each year. “We are talking about a tremen- dous number of people,” says Rosenberg. “A lot of times these children are stigmatized because others think they are ‘faking’ the pain or are told the pain is ‘in their heads.’ “This pain is real,” Rosenberg adds. “However, just because it is real pain and thereis a real reason for it, there is no real medicine for 1%." The pain these children endure stems from stress and cannot be treated with medication or sur- gery. When involuntary muscles such as those in the intestine are working correctly, they contract and relax in a synchronized man- ner. Stress can cause these muscles to get out of sync, causing pain. Antidepressants, antispasmodics and other drugs are not effective, so doctors are turning to self-help techniques to teach these children to recognize muscle tension brought on by stress that would lead topain.These proven pain management techniques are part of a special program at the East Carolina University School of Continued on Page 2 cor seca arch.

Student Pursues Marketing Dream Lee Williams left Kinston High School in 1993 with diploma in hand looking to pursue a career in marketing. The Kinston native en- rolled in Lenoir Community College’s Marketing and Retailing program and began preparing for what he hopes will eventually lead to operating his own business. Williams will begin his second year in the Marketing and Retailing program this fall. He said his in- terest stemmed from taking mar- keting classes at KHS. “Market- ing is a wide field covering differ- ent aspects of business,” Williams said. “I like design and advertis- ing and I like how it all comes together to a final product,” The program at LCC is designed to prepare the individual for entry into middle-management positions in various marketing and retail- ing businesses and industries. Wil- liams is getting an early taste of the working world by working two part-time jobs while attending col- lege. At Belk in Vernon Park Mall, Williams said he does a little bit of everything such as working in housekeeping, receiving and mar- keting. He alsso works at Colorworld. Working with colors and paints has strengthening Wil- liams’ desire to work in the field of interior design, he said. “There are many posssibilitiess with a degree in - marketing,” Williams said. “I’m hoping to continue my education after ve and ae a bachelor’s degree.I know I’m getting a foundation here.” For a ‘84 mation concerning the Marketing and Retailing program at LCC, call pc ali sad Tap 608, Fall tration is August 31 through a aga 6.

Abiola, who won the country’s presidential election last year. The military prevented Abiola from taking office, and then charged him with treason andarrested him on the first anniversary of his elec- tion. In recent weeks, the oil work- ers (oil is Nigeria’s largest indus- try) have been joined by other workers and students in bringing the West African nation to a vir- tual standstill . The African continent and its people have for centuries been the victims of gross economic and po- litical manipulation and destruc- tion by Europe and America: from slavery and colonialism, to CIA- inspired civil wars, to U.S. and European government support for dictators, murderers, and thieves. That kind of treachery continues to this day, ofcourse, as the Clinton administration maintains its sup- port for rulers such as General Abacha and Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire. The Reverend Jesse Jackson’s visit to Nigeria has highlighted the importance of Black leaders speaking out against the Clinton administration’s policies. Rever- end Jackson, representing the State Department and the Clinton administration, has delivered a letter from President Clinton to General Abacha calling on him to release Chief Abiola, the demo- cratically-elected president of Ni- geria, and to turn power over to a civilian government. Reverend Jackson’s trip has, however, provoked controversy. Prominent Nigerian democracy leaders have identified Reverend Jackson as a “friend and collabo- rator of the military oligarchy in Nigeria.” The brilliant, Nobel Prize-winning Nigerian author Wole Soyinka has objected to Rev- erend Jackson’s visit on the grounds that General Abacha will be able to manipulate it for his own anti-democratic ends. And, indeed, he has. The latest word is that General Abacha has agreed to release Chief Abiola, but on the condition that he give up all claims to the presidency. Reverend Jackson has also worked closely with Congressman Ron Dellums of California, whose wife is employed by the Washing- ton, D.C. lobbying firm that repre- sents the Abacha government. Mr. Dellums has introduced a congres- sional resolution which gives cred- ibility to the idea of a constitu- tional conference allowing the mili- tary dictatorship to extend its ten- ure and play an influential role in any transition to democracy. While Reverend Jackson and Represen- tative Dellums have tried to mobi- lize support among Black leaders for their sympa- thies for Abacha, Congressman Donald Payne of Newark, New Jersey, the Congressional Black Caucus member most influential on Africa policy, has made sure that the CBC has held fast in its backing of Chief Abiola. So strong is Congressman Payne’s support of the democratic forces in Nigeria that he was denied a visa by the military government last week. Reverend Jackson’s visit to Ni- geria, in my opinion, was mis- guided. It is extremely dangerous for a Black leader of his interna- tional stature to lend any credibil- ity whatsoever to the Abacha gov- ernment. In Zaire, the U.S. government has continued its backing of the Mobutu dictator- ship, allowing Mobutu to sabotage the new constitution and depose the democratically-elected prime minister, Etienne Tshisekedi. I am among those in this country who have militantly supported Tshisekedi and worked to expose those—Black or white— who would allow any compromise with the Mobutu government. I appeal to Reverend Jackson to learn from the example of Zaire. Any legiti- macy afforded to General Abacha undermines the Nigerian democ- racy movement and Chief Abiola.Reverend Al Sharpton’s Clayton provides key input to Representative Eva M. Clayton ' (D-N.C.) met with Democraticlead- } ' ers last week to discuss pending ‘ healthcare reform expected to go to the House floor for a vote the _ week of August 8. “I am happy with the progress , we have made on the health care OM@BUCSR Ram KKK et tr eer errr rn eee rere eee i ita i ee ee ee ee) reform, bill,” Clayton said. “Health care reform must address the needs of all citizens and especially those Listen To WQDW 1230 AM health care reform living in rural communities.” Clayton urged leaders to include universal coverage, a lower tobacco tax and equitable treatment for small business persons. “The proposed bill would ask for a .45 tax on tobacco compared with proposals that were as high as $1.25. “I am happy we were able to include a reduction of the tobacco tax by more than 50 percent com- pared to some of the other pro- posed increases,” Clayton said. Universal coverage would be phased-in by 1999, large busi- nesses would have until 1997 to phase-in care and smaller ones by 1999.

The Rwandan tragedy is, of course, of a magnitude thatis hard to describe. But, as ever, the U.S. government has found a way to manipulate it for its own political ends, namely by allowing President Mobutu to control the relief and military situ- ation on the Zairean side of the border. Mobutu is being politically rehabilitated, at just the moment when the anti-Mobutu democracy movement needs the greatest support.While Reverend Sharpton’s visit to Rwanda is mo- tivated by humanitarian concerns, the Hutu hardliners responsible for the genocide are massed at the Rwandan border under the pro- tection of their old ally, Mobutu, ready to reinvade Rwanda. I urge Reverend Sharpton to use his visit to challenge the Clinton adminis- tration to fully withdraw its sup- port for Mobutu. Reverend Jack- son must do the same for Nigerian democracy and challenge the U.S. THE “M’-VOICE- WEEK OF AUGUST 11-20, 1994-3 acy in Africa to fully withdraw it support of Abacha.As an African American leader who has done extensive work on behalf of African democ- racy in Zaire, Nigeria and Rwanda on Capitol Hill, with the Congres- sional Black Caucus and with or- dinary Americans around thecoun- try, I believe it is critical that all Black leaders work together at this important juncture.
