By George B. Russ sissMMMMsp Miss Madie wished that she had learned early in life how to hide her emotions at the sight of a slightly traumatic experience. There was nothing startling about a borderline midget, but she had stood pertrified when she first saw dancing ringers" on the ground. Besides, this one was gentlemenly with a sunny tan complexion, tremulous, smiling lips; "pay me no mind. Gentlemen are scarce as hen's teeth around here and you shook me up ah-mitewhen you 'nounced that you'd open the car door for me." The bright red plastic leather of the van perked up Miss Madie's spirit, therefore, she relaxed and immediately looked forward to going for a ride with "short stuff." Only when she looked at the boy-man perched on the driver's seat did she sense embarassement. He looked too much like a boy to stir her hardened arteries to feelings of love making. And while she was trying to figure out some way to put an end to any sprouting ideas in his mind' along said lines, he said In a deep husky voice, Tve got-ah-delivery to make down round Ingold-would you like to ride with me?' His bass voice was stirring-commanding. She spoke up demurely; "drive on, brother, I've got more time than I've got money." Her own glibness startled her, but she didn't betray her surprise; instead, she leaned back and let her head rest on the cushion Of the seat "This is the coolest place I've found today;" she said absentlv as she closed her eyes against the glare of the noonday sun. "Miss Madie. you don't remember me do you?" He asked.., -, ; : ' ,' i "Don't reckon I do. I'm suppose to have an elephant's memory for faces, but I cant recollect your face around Bayborough." "I'm" Will Deal-Sam Deal's son. My grandmama raised me down here in the country. But I used to work in his store there on Lee Street. You used to come in and buy five cents worth of liver every Wednesday evening." He laughed a deep throaty laughter. Miss Madie recoiled from the apparent pointed ness of his laughter, however, sne xepi ner discomfort well concealed. She answowH calmlv. "there was ah-time when nickels worth of liver was-ah-plenty for me n the neighbor's cats." He hastened to make amend . anv feUine he had wounded; "I know you had" plenty. Liver wasn't but ten cents-ah pound. I want laffing at you-1 was thinkine-ah bout uncle Walter-he is a big-time teaser-he waited on you one dav and when vou said you wanted a nickel's worth of liver, he tried to be funny when he said, 'you must be bavins! lots of company these da vs." Will threw his head hack and laughed deeply. Miss Madie didn't think much of his. joke nor b donkey-laugh. And to keep from telling "short stuff" to button his up before sne got real nasty, she focused her attention upon the Mai drenched landscape. The heat waves gave the impression ot rain coming down in sheets. The truck whizzed along tor ok a- .. m MV1I1 a couple OI miles Dei ore wm broke the thick silence; "I 'speck we're going to get some rain between now ana midnight." His voice was lazy-noncommittal. Miss Madie's huttmess had not lost as much of its sting as she thought, therefore, her intended joke came off badly; If you speck, what's the lues going to do?" Will Deal struggled with the steering wheel for a moment before he replied, "pardon my dust, lady, I just made a wild guess at how soon we'll be getting some rain." Miss Madie squirmed uncomfortably; her flippancy had boome-ranged and she was the worst off for a ways and means of rechanneling the pithy remark. "I was only funning," she offered as a peace of fering. "No need feeling sorry for yourself, Miss Madie 1 ain't going to run off the road widcha." "Forget what I said about the fly. I don't know what got Into me that caused me to run-off at the mouth." ' ,"' ti A II .SW t-. - fJJ I IU1 is lorgiven. irwuu. i don't scare easy-. I'm ah-little piece of leather but I'm well nut together." Miss Madie grunted, "Ugh!" "Ugh. what? Ask Hattie Beamon about me." "Ask her what?" Madie's voice carried traces of clipped anger, however, she felt what Will Deal should Know when he was approaching forbidden areas-"rubbing her the wrong way. As she expected. Will Deal did not comprehend the hint of anger in her voice, he plunged right into a discourse ofMlssHattfe."''- ; "Your friend is fine at gnats' liver most of the time, but, like most women folk, sne defeats her purpose' with bossiness. She thinks a man's tail is made for her foot. ', 9 Miss Madie relished the negative approach to Hattie Beamon s character and moved in closer to Will Deal to hear every word. "This business belongs to my folks. Grandpa started It and through thick and thin th' family has kept it together. Deal's pork sausage, Bar-Be Cue Pork 'n Ribs does good business, but, the money isn't mine. Between me n you 'n the gate post, I used to help Miss Hattie with her rent 'n groceries 'n anything else. She is no gold mine but she is nice. I helped her until I found out that she was fooling around with a young buck. I airj't one for feeding frogs for snakes-so, I just left her be. She hates my guts, but I couldn't stand around like a tick on a dog's belly 'n see my cash go down the drain." Miss Madie made no reply, after all she was a woman and she just didn't approve of one woman killing another woman to a man. What was sauce for the for the goose is sauce for the gander. If "shorty-pants" had had a chance, he probably would have done for Hattie what she did for Mm. She sat watching Will wheel the van into the narrow driveway of Gumbo's WaySide Market and Grocery Store. While Will was busy inside the van. the screen door of the store came open and Jeff Bovkins came out carrying two bags of groceries and following him was Bella McDougal carrying two cartons of drinks. Miss Madie nearly stood up in the van -continued. gMMisnSssaVBax. JJKE -' Is, : y. rn 1 a AtfBAM ..

People who, hitherto, never dreamed of going airy place besides New York and around the corner from where they were born are now able to reaUly go places at a nominal cost. Actually go placMOan their Piggy bank Savings. A bevy of Tourist Guides 'are within easy reach of all persons desiring a change in scene with no thought to the art of travel: whether to improve their minds-besides, the matter of improving one's mind has undoubtedly been over done or, travel for conversation-something to talk about afterwards; or, travel to break the log-jam- of dull routine; there is much to be gained through travel. Basically, we can assume, the average person, unknowingly, has a true motive of travel: to become lost in the unknown. The poetical angle, reason, motive, urge or what have we, can be wiped off the slate: Very few travel to forget," inf act, a tourist trip Is too short for such "ground-breakings" no matter how religiously one adheres to travel schedules, how busy one will be with one's camera, travel notes, etc. -forgetting someone or a traumatic estkm. , .

Baggage tags must have first and last names; or keep your landing card and baggage declar Mrs. Jeanette Pratt of 2302 Crest Street was among the many persons of Durham who was fortunate enough to vacation in Nassau, Bahamas. Mrs. Pratt states that most of her excitement was exhausted during the months and weeks when this trip was in its. planning stage; " I have always yearned to take a long trip some place-no place in particular. I am always left a bit giddy after browsing through travel folders, but I have never pin-pointed anyplace I would like to spend a vacation. However, 1 never once encircled the Bahamas on my vacation map. I am Baptist, but the saying that Baptist are not fearful of water does not apply to me. 1 was skittish of large bodies of water until my recent trip to Nassau. This was my first trip outside the U.S.A. but I can assure you that the Bahamas is beginning of a series of Tours on foreign soil." It was Sunday, a bright sunny, searing hot day but " Jeannie" didn't seem to mind, one iota, giving a detailed report of her vacation at Nassau. So, I propped my perspiring body against the handrail of the I steps, and listened to the arming, shirpplng "J For encouragement I added, "Let me hear about your travels, lucky lady." And she replied with genuine enthusiam; "one who travels is awaken to a world of people and places -and delightful happenings. I had no dreams that there was so much to see end feel, to enjoy and learn. The 4-Day Cruise to Nassau was conducted by Costa Lines and I am a living witness that travel broadens one's whole being. I was In a tizzy, with the Allot In Wonderland world into which I suddenly found myself thrust Into, for days. I have some friends in New York city and I wanted to spend more time In the lumbering city but time ran against my best wishes. We boarded the huge, snowy ship at 8 o'clock p.m. md went straight to the Riviera Lounge where we itfttanAtft tit heavenly music. "Italian Muieal MOOdS played by the ship's Orchestra "Flavia. Monday, our first day aboard ship was so shocked full tension headache, but I did not let that inconvenience aavjd me packing to my cabin. I took part in the Boat Drill, dined in the gorgeous CaribbeanFlo ridiana Dining Room." Jeannie" laughed softly up to the flaring sunlight, then, whispered in a softer voice; "I ,r,, -t .i- ".)tque the Flamingo Lounge, but I reluctantly drew the line at the door of the lounge. My second day aboard the Costa Liner was no less fun filled than the fust day. A group of us attended a movie in club Capri to rest up a bit for some of the late evening entertainment. On Wednesday, we enjoyed Bouillon, coffee and tea served on Lido Deck. The vastness of the blue Pacific ocean, the lucidity of the bright blue sky above the white billowy clouds were actually startling. Since Thursday was our last day before disembarkment, we decided to splurge a bit, so, we stayed up until past midnight A midnight buffet was served on Riviera Deck-And!" My excited narrator exclaimed; "you haven't reafly enjoyed living until you have dined beneath a star-studded sky, listen to music drifting from port holes and spreading across the vast acreage of sluggish ocean waters. You don't know whether to weep for joyor scream from fear of someone pinching your arm and you awaken to the humdrum world you have known, perhaps, too long. Friday morning as I waited in, the now familiar, Riviera Lounge, accompanied by old friends and newly made acquaintences; my thoughts situation-an entirely ejrjssjrisnce-walking down the aHlliii. onto foreign soil, however, my fears were unwarranted. Nassau was much more than I expected and the panoramic view of the picturesque city has kindled interest to a point of frienzy to set more of the happy, apparently, carefree Islanders. Aside from a visit to Pino's Night Club where I enjoyed, Immensely, Calypso and Soul Rock music, pizza, Unpm and lots of fun, saw the summer home of the Archbishop; the home of Sidney Poitiers; the lovely cottage where Mrs. Margaret Truman Daniels spent her honey moon-and we enjoyed and island drink mixed for us til the Mayor of Nassau.

It is probably important that we look at the alleged facts before going on. According to statements made by its president in a recent press conference, there were two basic situations surrounding its closing. I. Improper orientation. Too much emphasis on the African continent and not enough on the local Black communities. II. Lack of financial resources. Not enough money available from the Black community and too many limitations on white money. The first is the more important though both are significant.

COGGN PONTIAC'S E - OUT known from the beginning and would have to be rather short-sighted not to understand them One of the reasons that MXLU was founded was to provide the kind of relevant education not available at traditional institutions, namely Duke. The underlying assumptions being that those individuals embarking on this effort knew something about H relevant education is, education that should prepare Black youth to make a significant contribution to the growth and development of the Black community. It is indeed unfortunate that this objective was somehow lost. It is perhaps more terrible that any Black person could neglect or fail to analyze and apply this objective. The second problem was not only predictable but in some ways avoidable. That is to aay that if one expects to provide a relevant education to Black youth then be cannot expect to provide a relevant education to Black youth then he cannot expect white people to pay for that education. This simply means that the needed institution cannot be a traditional one. It must find other means of surviving. One ast also be certain that the limitations placed on white money do not interfere with the intended objectives of the institution. Yes, it is unfortunate that Set., July 21, 1973 THE CAROLINA fall to analyze and the to sere. Then is no for waiting that long before one realizes thai his orientation is incorrect. There is no excuse for forsaking a commitment to the desires and needs of the people around you. It is unthinkabie in my mind that one could exist in the Pettigrew Street (Hayti) community and set objectives that did not deal with that reality. It Is strange but often the ease mat we read enough to make analysis that an limited by their own structure. One) who reads or learns without a constant awareness of his immediate and real community is no less a dope than white egg head professors who read, write, and jump to non-realistic conclusions. I hesitate to refer to MXLU as a failure, I chooee rather to think o f it as a call unfulfilled, a mission not completed, a temporary set-back. To discover one's mistake and not capitalize on it is to fail, to understand a mistake and to try again with that understanding is the making of revolution. Not only is this a lesson to us who have a kind of commitment to Black people. That is, formal and extensive education can help us know how to do sometning. But only a realistic involvement with our people can tell what it is we need to do. Change does not come alone in the head, but it must come from the Blood and sweat of 'a people, struggling together, where they are, relying on who they are, and when all of them want to go. to m. tlilB front-WHEEL MME MAY NOT MAKE GETTING THROUGH '.mm, Hwmmmmi ai:'W3MKffNttastfP NEW SHIPMENT NOW ARRIVING TheFiatl28: anna The biggest selling car in Europe.
