HiBbH 12 A THE CAROLINA TIMES Sat August 11, 1978 t lift Begins At 62 1 By George B. Russ Miss Madie finally climbed out of the cool, comfortable cab of Will Deal's sausage van, thanked him for bringing her home "out of the hot sun." This courtesy was offered with more fervor and loudness than was necessary, because, she wanted her "peeping Tom neighbors" to know she hadn't been off on a "slumber party." She was sure her little pantomine hadn't "cleared the air." but she had made it known that she knew how to kiss n don't tell" After all said and done, it was her word against anything they might conjure up in their sick minds. She waved a frantical good-bv to "Mister Will." then stood, momentarily, watching the gleaming truck wind its way down the curving highway. Now her nosey neighbors would be puzzled by her actions. If the man had only given her a lift out of the hot sun, why was she acting as though she had left her heart inside the truck with him? Winking her eye up her sleeve, she donned a watery smile, then walked slowly toward the screen door of Apartment 2-A. Pangs of fear gripped her heart strings when her hand clasped the door handle and she removed her fingers quickly as though she had been burned. And before she regained composure, the door was flung open and Emma Lou framed the doorway, hands akimbo, lips pursed, nostril flaring, eyes rolling. Miss Madie spoke up cheerfuHy; "well! 'fore my Lord, what have I did to deserve this visit from you?" The restraining contraption of Emma Lou's pursed lips snapped and a barrage of words rushed forth; "that's neither here nor there, Madie Perkins -I had no dreams you didn't have more sense than to go off and leave my sick father alone for hours." Miss Madie could not dodge the impact of the bawling out, so, she stood still and let the fat lady have her say. Miss Madie had, from time to time, had the occasion to brag that patience was one virture that she was "broken out with;" but, for some reason, unbeknowst to her, she was over shadowing Job's patience by a long, wide shot. "Madie Perkins, you should be ashame of yourself--my daddy could have fallen off the bed and busted his skull on that cement floor in his room. And you off galavanting around like a street-walker." Miss Madie 's muddled brain cleared suddenly and she spoke up with her usual briskness; "squat your deep concern for your sick father, honey, Mister Ben 'n me have an understanding about my fresh air walks. I'd go batty as. a bat if I didn't get out of this house for a few minutes every day. Your faw-ther may be good for your sore eyes, but, as for me, HI wait around for fresh snow water. Nursing your faw-ther is like playing footsie with stinging nettles." Emma Lou's hands left her hefty hips; "you should have realized that the job was no pie tasting contest when you accepted it." Emma Lou hissed. Miss Madie ignored her sister-in-law's innuendo and might have walked pass her without a seoond thought, but she wasn't forgiving the good sister for "making her flesh crawl" with those awful hissings; "you're looking at the champion of foolsand fools are known to tred where angels dare not. Anybody can look at me and know pie tasting is not pass time of mine-but, you'll have a hard time convincing a judge and jury that you ain't." Emma Lou wanted to make a fast exit, but she decided against giving her assailant the pleasure of thinking she had dressed her down; "where is my father's insurance policies and bank books " she blurted out sardonically. Miss Madie was hurrying toward "Mister Ben's" room when the implication in Emma Lou's message belted her already thorbbing ears. Momentarily, she was dumbfounded but his reaction did not linger-quickly it faded into nothingness and Miss Madie was once more completely in control of her equanimity. She took several steps toward the pompous woman; "my advice to you is plain and simple as your face: get lost before I count to ten." Emma Lou quickly sensed W?

Instead, she had aroused the woman's wrath. And by the time Miss Madie had counted to ten, she was standing on the side walk, wondering which way to go. --Continued.

Guideline Retreat Will Mean Black Defections ATLANTA, GA. - Any retreat from the guidelines which tripled Black participation at the 1972 Democratic Convention represents "gambling with the affections of the party's most loyal supporters" a Democratic Party Commission was told here recently. State Rep. Julian Bond told the National Democratic Commission on Delegate Selection and Party Structure that Black voters were "less interested in labels than performance." "We will increasingly be guided by the old maxim: "We have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests," Bond said. Also appearing was U. S. Representative Andrew Young (D-GA) who defended the guidelines, saying "The spirit of the reforms must be maintained." Young said that the McGovem-Fraser guidelines, adopted by the party after the 1968 convention, had increased Black participation at national conventions from 5 in 1968 to 15 in 1972. WASHINGTON - A recent study compiled by the Census Bureau and released last week refutes the widespread myth that Southern blacks who migrate to northern cities cause a substantial increase in inner city unemployment and welfare caseloads. According to the report, Southern-bom blacks who have moved to the big cities of the North are more likely to be employed and married and living with their spouses than Northern-born blacks. Compiled by statistician Larry Long, the report examines selected social characteristics of Southern-born blacks living in the Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington metropolitan areas. It showed that Southern-born black males have higher labor force participation than blacks born in the North. In the Nation's Capital, for example, 67.1 per cent of Southern-bom blacks aged 18 and older living there in 1965 were still with their spouses five years later, compared to 50 per cent of the Washington born. iti In Chicago, 70 percent of Southern-born blacks aged 16 and older who lived in the area in both 1965 and 1970 were employed in 1970, while 65 per cent of those born in New York were employed at the time of the census. According to Dr. Robert Hill, research director for the National Urban League which just concluded its 63rd annual conference here last week, the results of the study were not surprising. "Too many people think blacks migrate from the rural South to the North to get on welfare," said Hill. "That's nonsense. They move North to get jobs and advance themselves like anyone else. I'm glad the Census Bureau report confirms this." Another Census report indicates that mobility continues to be prominent among Americans, especially among young males and, the college-educated. The report on interstate migration shows that of the 186.1 million Americans five years and older, over 17 million moved to another state. It also revealed that California continues to have the greatest overall migration. While li8 million persons moved to California between 1965 and 1970, 1.4 million left there for other states. The largest volume of population flow between specific states involved New York residents moving to New Jersey. offices in Mobile, Ala., will completely re-do the Northgate location.

Norman George, general manager fo Northgate Shopping Center said, "Morrison's is highly selective in their locations, and we are leased with the interest they ave shown in Northgate. Their fine- reputation in quality food service and attractive decor has preceded them in this area, and we look forward to their opening here." I Morrison's also has a lion in Charlotte.

(UPI) War Prisoners' Children Eligible for Assistance Are you the son or daughter of a North Carolinian who was a prisoner of war or missing in action for more than ninety days? If so, you may qualify for free education and training benefits at almost any university, college, junior college, community college or technical Institute in North Carolina. John J. Tolson, III, Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, recently expressed concern that children of certain North Carolina veterans who were prisoners of war or who are still missing in action may not be aware of scholarship legislation enacted by the 1973 General Assembly. These Scholarships are administered by the Department's Division of Veterans Affairs, but the selection of recipients is made by the State Veterans Affairs Commission. This bi-partisan Commission is comprised of ten members, five of whom are the commanders of the major veterans organizations in the State. In commenting about the change to the law, Secretary Tolson stated that children of veterans of all wars -- World Wars I, II and the Korean Conflict, not just Vietnam, who were prisoners of war or missing in action more than ninety days are eligible. Similar scholarships are available to children whose veteran parent was killed or died in war-time service or died as a result of a service connected condition incurred in war-time service as defined in each of two additional eligibility categories.

(CHICAGO OUT) (UPI) applicants should contact then local Veterans Service Officer who can provide detailed information and assist them in completing the application and getting the necessary documents to determine eligibility. Except in special eligibility categories' all available scholarships have been awarded for the school year commencing this fall Applications for next year (1974-75) should be submitted this fall and winter to ensure timely consideration. Eligibility requirements and the meaning of "war-time service" are set forth in the scholarship law. Secretary Tolson commented that it's too soon to tell what impact the records loss at the Military Personnel Records Center in St. Louis will have upon processing applications. A disastrous fire there in July destroyed millions of service records. Some records are available "through the U. S. Veterans Administration if a veteran had previously had dealings with the V.A. ORANGEBURG, S.C. -Mai Nicholson, director of public relations at South Carolina State College, has been promoted to director of development. President M. Maceo Nance Jr., who made the announcement, said Nicholson's duties would include finding and cultivating friends as well as funds for the institution. As development director he will continue to build a cooperative attitude in the community which will assist the college in attracting quality students. The new development director will seek to build supportive attitudes on the part of foundations, corporations, business and industry as well as increase the awareness of the alumni of the work of the college. Nicholson joined the college in 1968 as its first full-time public relations director and built an ongoing program that has become a model.

Weeds and your Food Dollar Were it not for pesticides, you would be paying many times what you are presently spend ing for groceries. "Not only do weeds choke other plants," says R. S. Dun ham, professor emeritus, Uni versity of Minnesota, "but they steal water and other nutrients from the soil" At harvest tune, weeds interfere with the cutting crops. Weeds also reduce the flow of water in irrigation ditches, poisonlivestock, affect the taste of milk and other products, and provide Bring quarters for damaging insects.

NBNS Sterilization Suit Delayed MONTGOMERY, Ala. - U.S. District Court Judge Robert Varner has delayed indefinitely a decision on whether to allow two black Montgomery girls to move their $5 million sterilization suit from his court to a state court. After listening to an hour of arguments by attorneys for both sides, Vamer said he wanted more time to study the plaintiffs' request that the suit be dismissed without prejudice. The girls, Minnie and Mary Alice Relf, sued federal agencies and local hospital and family planning officials on the grounds they were sterilized without their informed consent. NBNS HEW Cuts Back Spending For Publicity WASHINGTON - Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger issued a memorandum to agency heads last week ordering them to submit plans by Aug. 15 to cut back the 1,200-person public affairs staff and trim its number of publications, publicity contracts, and 73 outside consultants. "There is no place for self-serving, promotionaHy-oriente4 material in government,'' Weinberger said in announcing cuts in the $175 million-a-year public affairs operation. "There can be no justification for spending tax dollars needed to help the poor, the infirmed, the aged, and others in unneeded publications." ' NBNS Senate Passes Job Training Bill WASHINGTON - By an 88-to-5 vote, the Senate passed a bill to revise federal job training programs and continue icuerdi mnaing or. community action antipoverty projects.

Times - Friday, July 27) in information sent to Congress that the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare failed and refused to spend one billion one hundred million dollars appropriated by Congress for the Health Services Administration and the National Institute of Health. This was about 22 of the total funds appropriated. They refused to allow the National Cancer Institute to spend $59,000,000. They cut the National Heart and Lung Institute by $44 million. They cut the Federal Mental Health programs by $200,000,000 below the amount appropriated by Congress. Naturally it is the workers and the poor who suffer most because they cannot afford the current high costs of hospital and medical care. HEW could and did find the money to help pay the cost for the welfare authorities in Montgomery, Ala., to sterilize two little girls whose mother was illiterate and did not know what she was signing when she was induced to put her mark on an authorization for the sterilization. HEW could and did find the money to help North Carolina Health and Welfare Authorities to sterilize, as a child, Nial Ruth Cox, on the ground that she was mentally retarded. She was not mentally retarded at all. She was just poor and black. Since then she has become a trained nurse in New York City, and you have to be at least a high and have an LQl just to get into school.
