4A —RAG CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, JUNE I» 1971 Writers Forum TRAVELING SHOES You recall that our hero was gripped with a cramp in the leg while the Trailway Bus i> parked in front of the Bus Station at Dunn. In the mean time, three passengers get aboard the bus: two ladies, one wearing all white-symbol of purity; the second, tal slen der-smiling eyes and, a beak- Uke mouth that twitted in cessantly. The male member of this trio was tall, black and twentish; he was wearing a long sleeve, black jersey shirt, white hot pants with spatters black and matching suspen ders, his long, black muscular thighs were nude, however, his lep were covered with white, black spattered material which flared into a ball shape around his black patent lea ther sandals. Hoping you will not be forced to move over to make room for one of these passen gers, you grab your leg with both hands in an effort to abort the insipid cramp. With eyes closed against the glaring sun, you pray that you will not have to move an inch. TTie bus is moving before you realize that all is well for the moment. You raise your eyelids slowly, peeping through slits, then the lids fly up like shades. The three new passengers are seated across the aisle. "Hot pants" has his bushy, well oiled Afro resting on the head board of his seat, ore leg thrown across the arm of his seat, leg drapery flappy ing to the rhythm of the swinging sandled foot. You forget the wearer of the ano malous costume and concen trate on the confortably shod ed foot. The idea of giving some comfort to your own hot burning iore foot tries hard to play upon your sym pathy but you give no encour agement to the electric through waves flashing across your brain. Terror of not be ing able to get your shoe on again is stronger than the de sire for relief. The bus shizzes along the hot asphalt road and your eyes search the road sides for familiar landmarks. Never have you been so anxious to see home. And to add salt to the open wound of your blis tering sore toe, the sole of the left foot begins burning. That does it. You decide, emphati cally, that you are not going to church. Any one with an ounce of love and care for you shouldn't expect you to go to church. Mother's Day nothing. "No!" you say in a rasping voice to further impress upon your subjective mind what your objective mind plans not to do. Hiis should seal the deal hard'n fast. The thought up permost in your morbid brain is getting relief for your tor tured feet. To expedite time, you decide not to walk up town to where the Black Cab Station is. You wonder why the black drivers don't have a stand on one side of the Bus Station. They weren't allowed to pick up passengers here, once upon a time, but things are different now. Always, you walk the several blocks under the guise of wanting to ate a little of the town before you leave. Once you get home, "that is all (he wrote." Your real reason is to find a black cab, but at the same time, you tall youraelf that you are not a racist. When you are selling youpelf to your friends, you take pride in saying, "I'm no racist. I am a member of the Human Race. I aee a man for what *w is, not his color, Oh, wall, it's L vd to tell-the black guy has to hustle twice as hard for a buck that't why you. sorta lean his way a little more when you want a cab. While you rationalize, the bus makes a sharp left turn into the nar row State Street then does a twist-to-twist to enter the driveway of the Clinton Sta tion. At last! Will our hero walk the four blocks to the black cab sta tion or will he suspend the rule for the sake of his gosh- dum hurting feet? Dear Writer: The relations ship between writer and read der should not be one between an austere school master and Pupils, but one between fami liar friends. Only in this way can warmth be generated. He who is afraid to use "I" in his writing will never make a good writer. Epigrams of Chang Ch'ao: All immortal literature of the ancients and the moderns was written with blood and tears.

Dorcas Club of Union Baptist Holds Picnic This year's picnic of the Dorcas Class of Union Baptist Church was the usual bang-up success that it is every year. The 1971 seeting was on the spacious, tree lined lawn of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pratt of East Edward Street. The Pratts are noted for their large scale party giving. All full-blown affairs; no packaged deals you pick up at Gino's. Mrs. Pratt is the type who still cooks her sugar for cake icings until it "spins a thread" or form beads when dropped into cold water. No hustling 'n bustling to put over a great or small "Per tee." At 7 o'clock the members arrived, bringing with them all the equipage for making a mouth watering festive board: hampers of vittles: fried chicken, deviled-eggs, shelly beans, Harvard beets, sliced tomatoes, pickles, ham, steaks, weiners » the works; folding chairs, tables and games -• and children. After eating until 'they can't eat no more, the grown ups watch the children play games. This is standard pro cedure. Imagine! An effort was made to or ganize a Volly Ball Game made up of the adult set but the idea proved to be a 'lost ball in tall grass.' This was a blow to my curiousity, I was anxious to see Mrs. C. Sanders bat that ball in her play suit. If you want eye brows raised, you'll have to show a little more cheese cake, sister Sanders. One could barely see the lavender braid of the matching pants. Mrs. Pauline Boxeiy who suffered a broken leg a few weeks ago made the scene in a beautiful yellow gold pant suit - looking good. Now that Mrs. Stattie H. Russ is back into the Scouting program, her car never parks in North Durham for more than a few minutes before it is surrounded by Cubs of Den 1. The Dorcas Class picnic was no exception and while the Den Mother was parking, the cubs stood at attention until she parked the moment the lid of the car trunk was raised a helping hand was out stretched. No amount of shoo- Don't Angle for An Accident Red Cross Says WASHINGTON, D. C. - It's summertime and the fish are jumping and that's enough to set off millions of Ameri can anglers to match wits with their finny prey. But don't let your fishing trip be marred by an accident or tragedy, warns the Ameri can Red Cross. "First of all," says Robert M. Oswald, national director of Red Cross safety programs, "all fishermen should be able to swim. If not, they should wear an approved life pre serving while fishing. Capsizing boats, slipping off piers, falling on slippery rooks and being caught in an undertow are but a few of the perils that en danger anglers." Before going out on the water, he said, check the weather forecast. Don't ven ture out in - threatening weather. When out on large expanses of open water, carry along a radio and listen for weather changes and storm alerts. Fishermen should know first aid and artificial respira tion, and carry a first aid kit with them. Hooks and graffs are very dangerous. Mr. Oswald advised anglers who cast to make cer tain there is ample room so as not to hook someone else. In a boat, with others aboard, use an overhead cast, keep gaffs in a safe place and hooks in covered containers. Carry neddlenose pliers, wire cutters and pocketknife in tackle boxes to free hooks. If you snag yourself deeply with a hook, don't rusk further in jury trying to get the hook out, Cut off the line,bandage the wound and seek medical attention. Learn how to hold a fish properly while extracting a hook. Many species of fish have sharp teeth, spines or fins that can cause painful wounds. Fishing alone is not advised. But if you do like to get out by yourself, tell someone where you will be and when you plan to return. When fishing along the shore or in a stream, wade cautiously to avoid slipping on rocks or suddenly stepping into holes and deep water. Don't fish near swimmers, water skiers or skin and scuba divers. In a boat, never stand up to fish. Carry a life preserver for each passenger. Don't tie up a channel buoy or marker. They are traffic guides for other boats. Besides, it's ing dampened the cubbing spirit. They remained through out the evening and enjoyed all the goodthings ih the offering. All in all, this was one of the finest picnics the Dorcas Class has sponsored.

Have you ever i "searched the Scriptures" to find I out why? The majority of religious lead ers and their followers seem to think that Christ lived on earth ! - to teach us by His words and His example how we should live, i But let's think this through. Our Lord did indeed show how men should live with each other and before God. But what were j the results? Did the people say: "How wonderful! Now we know j how to live together and enjoy j life! Let's follow His teachings J and the world will be a happier place to live in!" Is this what | they said? Far from it. As the re- j cord states, they hated Him, they j ridiculed Him, they heckled Him and finally they nailed Him to a ■ cross. As to His example: Have you j ever seen how a jeweler will put j a diamond on a piece of black felt to show it to a prospective customer? The diamond is seen most clearly in all its brilliance; against the dark, black back-1 ground—and vice versa. In the; Ben Ruffin Men's Day Keynoter At Mt.

"By following these simple hints, you're sure to have a safer and more pleasurable' fishing trip," concluded Mr. Oswald. "From here on, it's up to the fish."'

Rather, the pure white light of His holiness only shows up the dark, black character of the human heart, and man by contrast stands rebuked and con demned. But why, then, did Christ come into the world? The whole volume of Scripture bears witness to St. Paul's answer in I Tim. 1:15: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Consider the Old Testament types and prophesies. Consider 1 its Psalms and poems. Consider i the words of Christ Himself and ! you will see that He came, not ! to live, primarily, but to die —to ! die "for our sins" (I Cor. 15:3), i to pay our penalty that we might be justified—cleared of all the I charges which the law held , against us. These same Scriptures also de ; clare that He, the Prince of Peace, will come again as King of kings and Lord of lords.
