C. 1 'By Donald "We're . not pro-' abortion, we're pro choice," said Ms. Pat Bullard, executive director of North Carolina Social Services Association at "The Abortion Rights Crisis" program held Wednesday, May 13, in the Durham Public Library; "The right to choose a safe and legal abortion is gravely under attack," she sajd. "As a social worker, , I've seen many women resort to illegal and dangerous methods of abortion and I don't want to see that happen again. I'm very concerned about poor women." ..Prior to 1973, when abortion was legalized, rich women went on furtive weekend trips to New York.j Boston, Tijuana, or to an: anonymous local 'doctor' for an abortion. While poor women would abort themselves at home with coat hangers, knitting needles, lye douches, and quinine. North Carolina Fiscal Year 79-80 Abor tion Statistics show for Social Service recipients by age: 40 were 19, 4 were 10, 13 were 12, 41 were 13, and 120 were 14. By race: 35 were white, 64 were black, and 1 all other. Ninety-two per cent of all recipients were unmarried. "If these Human Life Amendments , sponsored by Senator Helms, and Representatives Hyde, Dornan, Ashbrook, and others pass, abortion will be illegal under any cir : cumstance," Ms. Bullard said. She continued that even pregnancies resulting from rape or incest would be forbidden. And those abortions necessary to save the life or preserve the health of the mother would be forbidden. "Women could be pro secuted . for having a ..miscarriage. The law could be ridiculously en forced," she explained. Marable "The Anti-Abortion, group seems to think that , women are getting abor- tions as a means of birth control. And that all of these women are engaging in promiscuous sex, which is untrue. There are many cases ; of unreported rape." Ms. . Bullard ex plained that the Moral Majority has madejtseent that everybody who it religious must be against the choice of' abortion, which is untrue. She said that there are a j lot of people pro-choice, and there now exists a ; North Carolina chapter of the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights, of which she is a member. RCAR is a national organization composed of 26 national Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and other groups; to protect the option of a , legal abortion. "The religious aspect of i this Amendment is very important, because religious groups hold diverse and conflicting doctrines on when life begins. The anti-choice group is attempting to translate on conviction and make it law for all." Ms. Bullard firmly stated, "People and the press have been missing our belief, and the anti-group has been getting in a lot of good light by delivering gory pictures to the; legislators of babies in j caskets, bleeding" swastikas, and aborted i ' fetuses. But we could use similar tactics and deliver ' gory pictures of suicide mothers, suicide families, ' battered children, but it is ; not necessary." As ladies in the group questioned each other on action needed, Ms. Bullard told the group to get more women involved ' in the National Organiza tion for Women, Inc. (NOW) and many of these other groups and start writing to our senators and congressmen. n m .

The Durham Chapter of the National Black In dependent Political Party of North Carolina (NBIPP-NC) honored five citizens from the East End Community, Sunday, May 17, at Mount Gilead Baptist Church on Dowd, St. Those honored were Mrs. Josephine Turner, Mrs. Christine Strudwick, Mrs. Barbara Harris, W. Pratt Edwards and Rev. Alexander D. Moseley. Each of the honorees was presented a certificate for "outstanding service to. black people and their community!." Rev. Dr. Earlie Thorpe, professor of history at North Carolina Central University, presented the certificates in a program held to pay tribute to the late Rev. Howard J. Thur man and other black heroes. ' Arnold Dennis, one or' the local co-convenors of the organization, said that many programs of this typi would by held' because one month of. black history is not enough to teach black: children about black heroes. 'It is time that we 1 taught our children and t that thev begin to listen so we can build viable, strong " 1 communities said. In giving the overall purpose of the organiza tion, Dennis said "NBIPP is organized to ' give strength and unity to the black community. We , don't want separation of groups because when we. are Separated we are weakened. If the other groups don't join us, we will join them. We believe in building institutions and strengthening those that we have. We are in terested in electoral politics and supporting j those candidates who will : support our interests." : Featured alsot on the program were Mount Gilead's Tot Choir, readings by several young people from the East End : Community, and a tribute ' to Malcolm X. Ms. Barbara Arnwine, N,C. state co-convenor of .NBIPP-NC, gave an up date of the party's ac complishments, both . statewide and nationally. She said that presently ten North Carolina chapters and ISO chapters across the nation have been organized. Plans for a food coop to begin in' Durham were announced at Sunday's meeting. A food coop will enable per sons, for a nominal membership fee, to buy food for a price that is slightly above the wholesale price. On Saturday, May 23, beginning at noon, the group will hold a picnic at Hillside Park on Roxboro St.; on May 25, members from across the state witl travel to Atlanta, Ga., to assess whatever assistance they can offer in resolving the situation of the slain children; May 30, a train ing session to teach the black community how to organize itself will be held; and on June 19-23, a state convention of NBIPP-NC will be held in Rocky Mount. So They Say A wife is a leash on life. By Donald Alderman A committee reccomen dation to replace Durham city junior high schools with middle ' schools brought both criticisms and praises Monday as several parents questioned committee members about the implications and nec cesity of the suggested concept at a public hear ing. , After a six-month study, the committee's 25-page report concluded: "Basically junior high schools are organized in the same manner as high schools and are not designed to provide a tran sitional program from elementary . school." Therefore, the middle school adoption rec-. comendation was offered to the school board. However, the commit tee warned, "The contrast between the middle school concept and the typical junior high school is significant. However, neither organization is capable of solving all of the problems that beset the education of young adolescents." Howard Clement, com- ' mittee chairman, said the city's junior high schools had "strayed away from their original purpose" and had become "rnjni-high schools." - Parents were concerned that the middle schools would do likewise.

': According to the com i mittee report, the middle : school curriculum is view ' ed as a basic skills building unit. This design allows for a smooth transition to high school. Parents were concerned that the change may not be in students' best in terest. Clement assured them that any policy adopted by the Durham City School Board would be what they perceive as best for all children. In elaborating, he said students entering junior high from elementary school were not instruc tional or emotionally prepared to accept the challenges and respon sibilities thereof; that mid dle schools would allow more student growth and , "Self-Preservation The First Law Oj Ifaturej Spend your bucks with merchants who spend some of their's in YOUR community.

Thus, a drop-out rate decline ! will be expected. i Parents said many city school problems were a result of poor elementary, teaching.
