The exhibit PATHMAKERS brings together framed btack-and taken by Mark Wagoner of Greensboro. The exhibit was originally curated by Barbara Braveboy-Lockkar (Lutnbee), writer. fdwafry Mat organizer. Mrs. Braveboy-Lockkar wrote biographical sketches of the women which are included in the exhibit. Of the women in the photographs, Mrs. Braveboy-Lockkar said: "As pioneers, they have steadfastly fought to protect their culture, leach the children, care for the elders, sing the songs. In the midst of the struggle for survival, they have continued to sustain through contributions to their Native communities... The tenacious leadership exhibited by each of the women gives a clue to the title: Patkmakert." Co-sponsored by Guilford Native American Association and United Tribes of North Carolina (with the special wort of Wanda Wbitmore Penner), this exhibit vividly demonstrates the significant roles played by women in North Carolina's Native American communities. This exhibit will be on display in the Native American Resource Center bom the first week in June through Lumhee Homecoming (4th of July). For more information, visit the Native American Resource Center in Old Main Building, on the campus of Pembroke State University.

LTD. ?A ; m rnmi tmim Pediatric Pointers By JOSEPH T. BELL, MD ?"??????J if you have bm reading the newspaper following the news on tv iaiety you piiaMybave noticed bow much publicity lead poisoning has been getting Although it has been 1 known for quae some lane thai lead poisoning can cauee problems for children, it hasn't been until lately that efforts have begun to cotdbat the problem. Let's talk briefly about this naturalmettl and die medial problems Mean cause. Lead is asoft, pale gray metal found naturally in the earth. It a used in paint for bridges, boats and factories, in making batteries, and in other products, such as pottery glaze and printing inks. When lead gels into be body, it enters the bloodstream and can go to the liver, kidneys and even the brain. As the amount of lead builds up, lead poisoning occurs. Although lead poisoning can effect any part of the body, damage to the brain and nervous system is of most concern. Young children are more likely to be hint by lead because their brains are still developing. Severe lead poisoning can cause minor symptoms, but can also lead to more serious problems, such as loss of coordination, vomiting, loss of consciousness, seizures, and rarely, death. How do children get lead poisoning? Good question! children sometimes swallow paint chips, soil, water or food that has lead in it, but usually they swallow dust that contaais lead. If they live in a building that is being scrapped, sanded or bumed, they may breathe in tiny lead particles or fumes. The way young children behave adds to the problem. Little children crawl on the floor, get dttst and dirt on their hands and put then hands in their mouths. Sometimes they eat things that aren't food, such as pant chips or soil from the yard or playground. Most of the lead children ve exposed to comes from peeling lead based paint, Moat paint made before I960 and many paints made before 1979 were made wife lead. Since 1979 ] the amount of lead in pa inn has decreaeed significantly. Paints wgh unsafe lead levels are no longer available except for boats and industrial and military use. Severe poisoning can occur if children eat chips of peeling lead paint, like you see around window panes and base, boards. Lead based paimts break down as they age into smaller and snalkr pieces that eventually become particM of dust. This dust alone a most often the cause of lead poisoning Leaded gasoline fumes from automobile exhaust ui past years a another source of lead in our environment. Lead particles that have settled out of the air into the ground - are still there Unlike some other kinds ; of pollution, lead never breaks down into something less dangerous. Its concentrations are especially high J along side busy roadways. In the last century, the pipes that brought water into the house were often made of lead. Lead pipes are shil found occasionally m places where water pipes haven't been replaced j since the early 1900s. Dyes on j newspapers, comic books and magazines that have been printed with I red, yellow or orange ink may contain ' lead. Other soinces of lead that can be. ingested include fishing sinkers, bullets, some old toysokliere and some traditional medicines, including grata and azarcon.
