I feel there are issues that need to be addressed and solutions devel- oped. I would like to be a part of developing and implementing these solutions. Having been in- volved in education for over 30 years and working closely with parents and students, I feel that I have a good understanding of the problems and can be a vital part of developing solutions to improve the delivery of a quality education to all students. Economic development is an- other area of vital importance. Our lack of activity over the past 10 years is a cause of concern. I am committed to expanding the job (From Page 1) executive director of the Lawyers Conference for Civil Rights Under Law, who will convene a summer conference on the subject. “In the mid-60s, White women are less than 5 percent in the law schools. Now they’re 45 percent.” Atty. Arnwine goes even further, “Black women face not a glass ceil- ing, but a concrete ceiling and en- dure a sticky floor. Our future is bleak with affirmative action, and desperately distréssing-without it.” Insiders agree that Blacks, with opportunities available for all our citizens. I applaud the initiative of the public and private enter- prises to form an area partnership to enhance the development. It is time for the city to become actively involved in this process. It is also very important that we stabilize the downtown area and work aggressively to revitalize this area. It also clear to me that we must work diligently to im- prove the availability of affordable housing for low and moderate in- come families.” Wiggins added, “I look forward to meeting and talking with con- stituents in the Fourth Ward.” Affirmative Action only 14 percent of the population, hardly can match the power or influence of White women, a whop- ping 51 percent, who have links to White men, the future husbands and community builders. Said Katherine Spiller, the national coordinator for the Feminist Ma- jority Foundation, speaking on the absence of women in the debate, “Affirmative action for women is popular. They dare not wake a sleeping giant that is in fact the majority of the American electorate.” See Michael A.

JOHNSON For the first time in the history of the Progressive National Con- vention, Inc., the annual session Affirmative Action was held in the great state of North Carolina. Progressive Bap- tists convened in Charlotte, from August 7th thru the 12th, at the new Convention Center, where President Clinton was in atten- dance speaking out the negative aspects of the tobacco industry which he felt by being in the To- bacco belt, this event would make a definite impact. Pre-convention services began Sunday, August 6th, at 5:00 p.m. at the Mayfield Memorial Baptist Church, where Rev. Harold Diggs is the Pastor. Other than the fact that the President chose this arena to be his personal platform, one of the highlights of the convention was on Thursday, August 10th in which we at the Daily Drum are proud to report when honors were bestowed upon the National Presi- dent, Deacon Benjamin F. Johnson, a native of Greenville. Deacon Johnson is married to the What have you done for me lately? A rece relations experiment be- gun by President John Kennedy after he noticed an all-White Coast Guard Academy band marching past the White House during his inaugural parade over 30 years ago has created the latest fuss in American politics. After calling the academy and insisting that the band’s racial policy be changed, President Kennedy began an ex- ecutive effort to offer hope to Blacks in government. Since the unforgettable act, every President since has added or shifted empha- sis (Nixon brought in women) but continued what is now called af-: firmative action. When Republicans won control of Congress for the first time in 40 years, one of their first do-away- with targets to balance the bud- get was affirmative action which has grown to more than 160 indi- vidual programs. The underlying GOP contention was that U.S. minorities, with access to such programs, enjoyed an unfair ad- vantage over White men in gain- ing employment, education, and even federal contracts. With the racial climate being CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. AND MRS. TERRY like it is, few clergy, lawmakers or civic leaders voiced concern. Ac- cording to the New York Time/CBS poll, most Americans object to Blacks being given preferences in jobs and college admission, but didn’t mind the advantages being given to White women. The pub- lic also believes, like the politi- cians, that Blacks dominate the fruits of the present affirrnative z action. “You got to be Black nowadays to get a job or a college degree” is a common work-place epithet. “Get with the facts,” argue the program’s Black supporters. “This program could go up in smoke be- cause of misguided thinking.” “White Women have been the biggest beneficiaries,” asserts Dr. Mary Berry, a prminent college professor and chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, at- tempting to calm down opponenets who base their evalu- ations on emotion rather than fact. “Black women certainly haven’t kept pace with the White women and neither have Black men,” ar- gues Atty.

It is significant to note that Dea- con Johnson is the father of the Publisher of The Daily Drum newspaper, and the owner of Royal Beginnings Christian Tapes and accessories shop located in down- town Greenville. Deacon Johnson serves as a Deacon at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Wash- ington, D.C. where the Rev. Terry Streeter is Pastor. For the past four years, Deacon Johnson has worked untiringly as President of the Laymen Depart- ment, PNBC. He has tremendous capacity for meaningful work, and has been instrumental in bonding men throughout the country and abroad. Laymen are strong sup- porters of the convention they love; they are committed to Evan- gelism/Street Ministry and Adopt- A-School program. In keeping with the biblical mandate to evan- gelize, Laymen hit the streets in every city where the Convention meets; Street ministry is key in the minds and hearts of Laymen. f EP ISR RA RS The President of the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc., is esteemed Dr. Bennett W.

Tabernacle Center Church of Deliverance, Inc. was organized on April 21,1991, in the City of Greenville, North Carolina. After a week’s Revival Service, the name of the church was given by the Holy Spirit.The Lord directed sisters Marie Goings and Thelma Burnett to the building where the church was to be, which is now its present location. With the help of Willie Goings, Willie Burnett, Cora Powell, Gerald Bonds and Arcennie Hopkins, the work on the building began as soon as the rental agreement was received from the owners. Sister Goings, Brother and Sister Burnett do- nated their time to get the paint, curtains, floor cleaners, and all that was needed to get the church started. The carpet was a gift given by Maurice Dixon and the plexiglas pulpit was donated by Tom Brandon. Our first $5.00 of- fering was given by a passing drunk who was glad we were go- ing to have a church located in the heart of downtown Greenville, where he and others like himself could come for refuge and deliver- ance. Our first tithers were Brother and Sister Willie and Thelma Burnett, Sister Cora Powell, Sister Marie Goings, Sis- ter Arcennie Hopkins and Sister Geraldine Langley. As the Lord began to seed his people into this fellowship, the body of Christ grew from religion to a real relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. ‘We stand on the Word (Acts 2:47) that the Lord Jesus Christ will and has added to the church daily such as should be saved. from day one we have allowed the Spirit of God to direct our path and have never diverted to the traditions of man by open- ing the doors of the church for membership. Nevertheless, the Spirit of God is given a free course and Sunday after Sunday, we have experienced the hand of God mov- ing in our midst by ministering to a full house of seekers that need and want to be delivered. God, in his omniscience power, never ceases to amaze us. We stand in awe of His greatness, His love and his grace. Tabernacle Mayor Floyd G. Brothers of Washington, NC ‘Introspective Born in Chesapeake, Virginia Parents - John Thomas & Evelyn Overton Brothers (both de- ceased) Came to Washington in 1961 as Band Director at P. S.

The body of Christ at Tabernacle Center has been tremendously blessed of God spiritually, physi a y and financially. Souls have been saved, bodies healed from termi- nal illnesses, broken spirits and many other afflictions. Many have received homes, cars, financial blessings making them debt free, new clothing, jobs, spouses, etc., dust to name a few. However, the real blessing has come to those who desire is to walk closely with God. We have come out of religion into a real one-on-one relationship with God. Many of the City’s drug dealers and users have come into Tabernacle Center hurting, look- ing for a change and trying to find out what goes on behind the red curtains that hangs in the front windows. Once inside, they hear the Word, receive it and give their lives to the Lord. In the past two months, the Spirit of God has drawn five young men, who were avaricious drug sellers, drug us- ers and women chasers into Tab- ernacle and they have surren- dered their lives to the Lord. They had seen the Word bring about great changes in former friends and they too want to become par- takers of this new life. We recently baptized ten new converts and another baptismal service is scheduled for the very near future. The Lord has blessed Taber- nacle Center with everything we need to conduct services which includes teaching the Word, coun- seling, voice lessons, prayer, chil- dren church, and a new convert class. A television was donated to enhance the children’s ministry. We have also purchased a calcu- lator and typewriter for record keeping and correspondence. We have a complete set of drums, an organ, and a AMDEK Video-300 computer and printer, which was a donation to the church. God has blessed us with an addition key- board to accompany our choirs, we now have a children’s choir and a fifteen passenger van which has been bringing new souls to Taber- nacle almost every Sunday. Our beautifully decorated P’astor’s Study has been used a lot to make preparations for our new Church, the clothes clopet and food bank have and is still blessing those in need of our help. We are also now involved in helping the Homeless Shelter with food and other needed items. On February 3, 1993, the Lord blessed us to start a Radio Ministry which is still in full swing and people are continu- ally being blessed in their homes, the workplace, and the prison sys- tem, and on September 26, 1993, the Ministry was expanded to a second radio station. The Bread Box Ministry can be heard Mon- day - Friday at 8:20 on WOOW Joy 1340 and Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:00 on WGTM 590 Wil- son covering 33 counties. With the Lord’s help, we are winning many souls by airwaves. Last year we mentioned the land the Lord has blessed us with, well, on August 4, 1993 we signed the deed to purchase the land at the corners of Dickinson Avenue, Fourteenth and Chestnut Streets. The land also includes two brick homes which help generate funds toward the construction of our new Church. Our architectural plans are in the final stages of comple- tion and we are looking forward to building the new Tabernacle Center of Deliverance, Inc. at its new location this year. The Lord has given us all the support and guidance we need to get the job done that He has charged us with. Our vision has become a reality. . . WE WILL CONTINUALLY GIVE GOD THE GLORY FOR THE THINGS HE HAS AND IS STILL DOING! The East Carolina Playhouse to kick off its 1995-96 season with the Third Annual Backstage Odyssey GREENVILLE—The East Carolina Playhouse will kick offits 1995-96 season on September 24, 1995 with the third annual Back- stage Odyssey from 4:00 p.m. un- til 8:00 p.m.. This family day in- cluding dancing, food and fun will offer a behind-the-scenes look at DESTRY RIDES AGAIN prepara- tions. There will be acting, vocal rehearsals, dance lessons, creative dramatics for children, theatre games for kids and adults, dis- plays and lots more. Plan to join the Playhouse, the Department of Theatre Arts and the Friends of the Theatre for only $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children on this special day for the family. Then plan to subscribe to the 1995-96 Playhouse season and keep the excitement coming. The season will include the rip-roarin’, rootin’-tootin’, pistol-shootin’ mu- sical DESTRY RIDES AGAIN, the captivating dramatic comedy, SOMEONE WHO’LL WATCH OVER ME, the bewitching tale of the Carolina Smokies, DARK OF THE MOON, Moliere’s comic mas- terpiece of hypocrisy, TARTUFFE, and a celebration of dance, THE EAST CAROLINA DANCE THE- ATRE. Season tickets are now available at $37.50—five extraor- dinary shows at one low price. A season ticket entitles the sub- scriber to one reserved seat per show. _ Opening the season on October 45 will be Harold Rome's ripsnortin’ Msik ithe iat Pha Ned ines aaditn s ee A musical western for the whole family, DESTRY RIDES AGAIN. It’s filled to the last bars with be- guiling melodies and zestful rhythms. When the cowpokes and dance-hall gals start kicking it up in The Last Chance Saloon, you can bet the rafters rattle. This revisal production of DESTRY RIDES AGAIN has not been seen in the US for thirty-five years. Mr. Rome’s widow, Florence, has given director D.J. Maloney the autho- rization to add some of Rome’s unused musical masterpieces and dialogue. Come join the fun on October 5 as the Playhouse sea- son opens on a rootin’-tootin’, pis- tol-shootin’ note. Frank McGuinness’ dramatic comedy, SOMEONE WHO’LL WATCH OVER ME, is a touching, moving story of three men—an American, an Englishman and an Irishman—virtually entombed in a windowless, cell-like, filthy basement room somewhere in the Middle East. Among other things, the play is about courage in the face of the most arbitrary and unpredictable horror. The play is both rich in ideas and in sheer entertainment. DARK OF THE MOON by Howard Richardson and William Bemey, both from Southem Appa- lachia, combines the lore, and su- perstitions, the fervent music and dance, and most compelling of all the shadowy enigmas of the mountain characte} This produc- a is vee Wee ee ® % tion, directed by John Shearin, promises to capitalize fully on the music and mystery of the play, mining the rich vein of theatrical imagery which, like the glistening seams of bituminite in the core of the mountains, is the soul of DARK OF THE MOON. Moliere’s comic masterpiece on hypocrisy, TARTUFFE, contains some of the most memorable comic moments in all theatre. When it comes to comedy, Moliere is abso- lutely “king of the mountain.” Translated from French by Ameri- can Poet-Laureate Richard Wilbur, this TARTUFFE offers an elegant, racy, dazzling script, spar- kling with wit and humor. Finally, THE EAST CAROLINA DANCE THEATRE is a galvanic celebration of dance, The original choreography of the ECU Dance Faculty will be performed by the most-gifted students in the profes- sional dance programs within the Department of Theatre Arts. An annual event that is a must-see for all ages. Season tickets are now on sale in the McGinnis Theatre box of- fice for $37.50. Tickets may be purchased in person, Monday through Friday; by phone with a VISA or MasterCard by calling 328-6829 or 328-1726; or by mail, East Carolina Playhouse, ECU, Greenville, NC 27858. The box of- fice is open Monday through Fri- day from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and until 8:15 p.m. on perfor- mance dates. i inte re me Me NE gL ere RM  : Bast Carolina University Mayor Brothers Floyd, Jr., Graduate of East Carolina University (Pharmaceutical Sales) Karen, Graduate of Georgia In- stitute of Technology Graduate Studies at Stanford .

By the age of 10, almost all Americans get exposed to the virus that causes chickenpox. There are a number of steps, how- ever, that you can take to treat the symptoms of the virus, says NARD, the national association representing independent retail pharmacy. © First, know the symptoms. Al- though chickenpox occurs year- round, most cases appear in the late winter and throughout the spring. You can catch the virus if you are near an infected person who sneezes or coughs. The symptoms, which last between three and 10 days, appear about two weeks following exposure. You or your child may develop a mild fever and flu- like symptoms that include loss of ap- petite, tiredness, sore throat and aching muscles. A day or two later, the telltale rash will appear. Generally, the rash spreads from the face to the body, then to the arms and legs. Within a few hours, the itchy, red spots become blis- ters that eventually crust over. @ Second, as soon as symptoms appear, visit your family physician and pharmacist. If left untreated, chickenpox can become serious, causing pneumonia and other com- plications. Also, if you are pregnant, elderly or have a weakened immune system because of other health prob- lems, you will need to take extra pre- cautions. shi 1124 WEST 3KO ST. AYDEN, NC 28513 HOURS: TUES. FL 10AM-8 PM A 4f/ NU LALT , Vert M, Urs bin LOCATED: HARRIS SHOPPING CENTER If you or your child are otherwise healthy, your physician will proba- bly give you a prescription to reduce the itching and promote healing. Your pharmacist may suggest that you also use an over-the-counter product such as an oral antihistamine or calamine lotion. @ Never use an antihistamine preparation directly on the lesions, unless you are told to by your physi- cian. Although aspirin should nev- er be given to anyone who has chickenpox, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be used to control the accompanying fever. Some patients experience temporary relief from the itching when bathed in special oatmeal baths. eTo prevent children from scratching the blisters and causing permanent scars, have them wear cotton gloves or socks on their hands. Fingernails also should be trimmed so that scratched blisters are less like- ly to burst and become infected. @ Finally, since chickenpox caus- es fewer complications to younger, healthy patients, you may want to ask your physician about purposely exposing your children to the virus. (Someone who has been exposed to the virus has an 80 to 90 percent chance of getting it.) Until a vaccine is developed to prevent the trans- mission of the virus, exposure dur- ing childhood ts safest and usually inevitable. SAT. 9AMA PM \ ofle © aro Fed 4 rf LUCY WILLIAMS 746-7669 PACE?

Terrytown Mall !  By Jeff Keller For News USA (NU) - Long ago, before wash- ing machines and dry cleaning, we used to clean clothes by brushing. Depending on the fabric, dirt or liq- uids could be brushed out, using boar or other natural bristles. Brushing clothes now is consid- ered something of an art form, and particularly useful for tailored cloth- ing that should not be washed. Brushing also air freshens the fab- rics, especially those made of natur- al fibers. and removes dust that works its way into the fabric. It elim- inates unsightly lint, dust, hair and dandruff. Removing them can pre- serve the life and appearance of the clothes. Brushing takes time, of course, and often when you're about to head out the door for an important busi- ness appointment or social occasion, there just isn't time. Yet there may be lingering on your pants, skirt or lapel that strand of hair, remnant of cat tur or hint of dandruff that has to be removed. Here are a few ways to remove items from your clothes: @ The company that specializes in Scotch tape and other sticky products has an answer — the 3M Ethel Mavis Worsley Owner / Operator CAROLYN LATHAM HARDE FOR CITY COUNCIL may “gue POD 9095 *: ye OREO 3 ot Roe x "EMW - SPECIAL OCCASIONS" Sewing Shop Cuts for your designs Designs for weddings, banquets & proms, also alterations ESPECIALLY FOR THE FULL FIGURE WOMEN (919) 975-5168 If it’s a special occasion, then make it Special Occasions A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE FOR YOU Large Stock of Carp Vinyl and Remnants for Residential and Commercial AROUND THE HOUSE faa Removing Lint, Hair wae Can Preserve Clothes Pat-it Line and Pet Hair Remover. It can save your power suit. It fits into a glove compartment, purse, pocket, suitcase or briefcase, and it’s a lot less time-intensive than brush- ing. You can find it at various stores, dry cleaners and pet shops. One use is enough to convince you to keep it in the car or in the coat closet where it’s handy for that last-minute touch up. e There are a number of lint rollers and battery-powered lint re- movers on the market. Another way to remove lint can be found in wash- ing machines. The machine's lint fil- ter should help, and tumbling in a clothes dryer may be even more ef- fective. Be sure to clean the dryer’s lint screeh after each load. This will main- tain high drying and lint-removing etf- ficiency and help prevent excessive heat buildup. In fact, it’s best to vacuum the lint from washing and drying machines often to help keep your clothes lint free and the machines working prop- efly.

Not anymore. The prolifera- tion of CD-ROM, on-line services, and super-slick educational and pro- ductivity software has made them al- most as commonplace in American homes as TVs and telephones. Keeping computer screens clean, however, is a special matter. There is One constant about the many makes of computer monitors on the market today: They are magnets for dust and lint. Just rub a finger across any computer screen and you'll see. The same 1s true for television screens, laptops or other electronic equipment. They attract particles floating in the air, Fact 1s, many plas- tic and glass surfaces attract dust that has to be wiped off. The dust makes it harder to see, and eventually it can seep inside the monitor. Here are some maintenance tps: — @ You might use a handkerchiet ora facial tissue, but these may leave AROUND THE HOUSE Keeping Computer Screens Clean as many particles as they remove. You could clean computer screens and anti-glare filters with the 3M Screen Cleaner Kit, which mounts right to the side of a computer monitor. The new screen and optics glass cleaner safely removes dust, dirt and finger- prints without streaking. The 3M wipes serve a dual purpose, clean- ing the screen and simultaneously giving it an anti-static treatment. e Turn off the machine and use some glass cleaning solution spar- ingly. It’s best to wet a rag or paper towel with the cleaner rather than spraying it, thereby avoiding getting the cleaner on the cabinet or behind the screen. © Some computer Owners use a can of compressed inert gas for dust removal. This does not get all the dust off a screen, due to the magnetic effect. and some of these products contain chemicals harmful to the earth’s ozone layer.

A new study shows that vitamin E may help slow the progression of atherosclerosis, the main cause of heart disease. ' In atherosclerosis, a fatty buildup known as plaque clogs the arteries, often lead- ing to a heart attack or stroke. But in the study at the Uni- versity of Southern Califor- nia’s School of Medicine, pa- tients who took vitamin E supplements along with their cholesterol-lowering drugs showed a reduction in the progression of plaque. Another study by the Na- tional Institute on Aging indi- cates that taking both vitamins E and C reduces the risk of heart attack by more than half in older adults. Experts say your heart will be healthier and happier if you stop smoking, get regular aerobic exer- cise and eat health foods that are low in fat. “Everyone should eat three serv- ings of fruit and four servings of vegetables daily.” says Aruna Dorin, nutrition and brands director for Leiner Health Products Inc., the world’s largest vitamin manufac- turer. But if following a balanced diet 1s difficult for you, many health professionals recommend nutrition- al supplements including the an- tioxidant vitamins — E, C and beta- carotene. Basic research shows that while vitamin E inhibits the oxidation of News USA A healthy heart loves vitamins; give yours the care it needs. LDL (bad cholesterol), other vita- mins, like beta-carotene, prevent the uptake of LDL into the walls of the coronary arteries, But if you're at risk of heart dis- euse, you may need to do more than nibble at a carrot and a piece of fruit. The University of Southern Califor- nia study shows that heart patients need more than 100 international units, or TU, of vitamin E daily for it to be effective. That's a lot more than you can consume in your diet. So talk with your doctor about nutritional supplements. If the latest studies are any indication, your heart will love you for it. For more information about an- tioxidants, call Leiner’s Your Life Vi- tamin Hotline at 1-800-533-VITA.

It’s strong, durable and offers long-term value. Over time, however, concrete can wear, leaving driveways, patios, pool decks and sidewalks with an un- sightly, “old-before-their-time” look. Concrete is subject to several types of damage, including: e Cracking — occurs when the ground underneath concrete settles or shifts. e Pitting — occurs when an out- side agent, such as chemicals, salt or acid rain, attacks the surface. e Crumbling — is the result of stress in the concrete slab, usually at the edges of expansion joints. e Discoloration — occurs when _ dirt, algae, mold, tree droppings or leaves cause a staining residue. Once considered difficult to re- pair, mainly because repairs didn’t always last, damaged concrete now can be restored to its original beau- ty and usefulness with lasting results — at a fraction of the cost of re- placing it. One new option available to homeowners 1s a concrete restora- tion system that utilizes polymer- based technology to produce a re- paired area that is actually stronger and more durable than the original concrete, according to Macklanburg- Duncan, a producer of home im- provement products. Sold at home centers and hard- ware stores under the brand name of Mr. Mac’s,"the restoration process requires just three steps. First, repair News USA. Concrete restoration systems can add years to driveways, patios and pool decks. large cracks and deeply pitted areas - with a concrete fix. Second, restore - shallow, deteriorated areas that are 7 unsightly and vulnerable to further ° decay with a concrete resurfacer. ° Third, refinish the newly recondi- - tioned areas with a concrete stain - that either matches the existing con- crete or provides a decorative accent. The result is an aesthetically ; pleasing, restored concrete surface that offers years of additional service - life at a cost approximately one- tenth that of replacement.

They were among more than 2,000 people who had come to the church late in 1994 for “screening day” for the hospital ship Anastasis. Final- ly at the head of the line, the aunt presented the doctor with a small, white card in pristine PAYING TOO MUCH SALE 16,965 1993.

Because her mouth had no roof, her speech was unintelligible and she choked when she ate. One of the ship’s volunteers, maxillio-facial surgeon Gary Park- er, had performed the first part of a standard cleft palate operation, but the ship had to return to Europe be- fore he would be able to do the fol- low up. So Parker gave Grace the lit- tle card that would ensure another Mercy Ships doctor would perform the rest of the operation. Mercy Ships, an international, in- terdenominational Christian organi- zation, takes health care and devel- opment programs to underdeveloped nations, Aboard the Anastasis again, Grace, dressed in her Sunday-best pale blue, satin dress trimmed with white lace, handed the doctor the card. ] sa you would return,” her aunt said. “That’s why I kept the card.” By the end of that day, 110 peo- ple — including Grace — were cho- sen for surgery that would change their lives, Many had cleft palates like Grace’s, Others had large jaw tu- mors, tumors that grew because the people didn’t have access to, or couldn't afford, the surgery neces- sary to remove them. The Anastasis, one of four ships operated by Mercy Ships, is the largest nongovernmental hospital ship in the world, It is nine stories high and the length of nearly two football fields, with three operating rooms, 3,000 cubic meters of car- go capacity and a crew of 325 peo- ple from more than 25 countries. All of the crew members — physi- cians, dentists, nurses, teachers and engineers — are volunteers, Many are retired, others are college students.

BEQLURITY DEPORT DUT AY IDNGRFTTON . PLAN TAR OTA CREINT APFROWAL Nuno)  Country home compact, cozy (NU) - The Cambridge is that rare exception to the rule — a compact country-style home. Typically, homes with gabled rooflines, dormer windows and a wrap-around front porch are in the medium-size range, out of reach for first-time homebuyers and far too large for empty nesters. But this plan is designed for economy and efficient main- tenance, making it equally well- suited to the needs of singles, families with young children, or couples who've graduated from “parenthood to grandparenthood. And placement of the front bedroom, adjacent to the front porch, makes it an ideal location for a home office. Relocating the closet would allow installation of a door for direct access from the porch. Day-to-day living takes place in a bright, vaulted family room/ kitchen combination that faces the rear. Naturally illuminated by sky- lights, side windows and a high dormer, this area rarely needs electrical lighting during daylight hours. Sliding glass doors in the eating nook open onto a wide deck allowing meals to move outside room, and mark the the master suite. : milies re fs brown thumbs can use these shelves as display space. _. Luxury amenities in the master suite include a large walk-in closet and. twin basins in a dressing area separate from the water closet and shower. While the Cambridge lacks a formal dining room, it does have an impressive living room with a wide bay window. Built-in bookcases flank a wide-hearthed fireplace, providing display space for family mementos. For a review plan, including scaled floor plans, elevations, section and artist’s conception, send $15 to Associated Designs, 1100 Jacobs Dr., Eugene, Ore. 97402. Please specify the Cambridge 10-045 and include a when days are warm. Utilities are just a few steps away, tucked in the passageway to the garage. Potted plants flourish on 8-foot- high recessed plant shelves that flank the vaulted entry hall, overarch the entrance to the family return address when ordering.

The CDI process is simple: Wa- ter containing salt, heavy metals or even radioactive isotopes is pumped through a stack of thin sheets of car- bon aerogel. Each porous aerogel sheet is 3 inches square and has the surface area near the size of a foot- ball field. Electricity is applied and the sheets become electrodes, at- tracting (in the case of sea water) chloride and sodium and allowing pu- rified water to pass through. Potential applications include: @ Desalination of sea water for residential, commercial and agri- cultural purposes. @ Purification of waste water, such as boiler water in nuclear and fossil fuel plants, and agricultural waste wa- ter containing pesticides and other toxic compounds. @ Electrically driven water soft- eners for home use. @ Removal of contaminants in blood with minimal cell damage. “It may be that desalination is the primary application for this in the future,” says Farmer, “but we’re pretty excited about the environ- mental potential.” Christian Background Community Minded Civic Minded Solid family a Vows to represent the people © A Vote for William Linwood Burney is a Vote for Tradition!

Liederman News USA * (NU) - What the politicians and pundits are saying about welfare re- form and orphanages might cause even optimistic Little Orphan Annie to wonder about tomorrow. Let’s sift out the tall tales and horror stories from the real facts. Fact: Healthy families are still the best place to raise children. Res- idential programs, which used to be known as orphanages, are the wrong place for children who have a lov- ing parent capable of caring for them, and who are not in need of group care and treatment. Fact: Residential programs are appropriate and necessary for some children with emotional, psycho- logical and/or behavioral problems, generally as a result of abuse or ne- glect. There are about 100,000 chil- dren and youth nationwide in resi- dential care. Fact: Orphanages would cost cit- izens far more than the Aid to Fam- ilies with Dependent Children and the Food Stamp programs combined. @ AFDC plus Food Stamps for a parent and two children costs $7,932 a year. The famous Boys Town esti- mates its residential program costs $98,558 a year for two children. e To provide out-of-home care for just 3 million of the estimated 9.6 million children on AFDC would } Facts From Tall Tales cost about $109.5 billion a year. The cost of AFDC and Food Stamps for 3 million children is about $7.9 bil- lion. Fact: The overwhelming major- ity of AFDC parents report they would leave welfare immediately for minimum wage jobs if they had _ health care for their families. How- Before we make or- phanages the fad of the ’90s, let’s first re- member that we are committed to children. ever, only 8 percent of people who leave welfare get jobs that provide health insurance. Before we make orphanages the fad of the ’90s, let’s first remem- ber that we are committed to chil- dren. We must be certain our laws help children become self-suffi- cient and offer them an escape from poverty. Residential programs are useful for some children. But are they sec- ond best to a real family. Annie might be the first to agree. David S. Liederman is executive director of the Child Welfare League of America.
