18-THE CAROLINA TIKES SATURDAY, JULT 13, 1$:2 i NAACP Decries Attack On Black GI's In Europe BOSTON NAACP; delegates unanimously adopted an emergency resolution, which calls for a halt to the rise of racist discrimination against black .troops in the armed services. The resolution urged t the "Commander-in-! Chief," President Reagan, to ensure that racism and discrimina tion are not repeated in the armed services. v The resolution stated! that "there is a; resurgence of racism as indicated in recent ; studies that blacks do i not have the same mental capacities as non-blacks." The delegates in dignantly challenged that report by resolving to take all steps , "to ' disavow any implied or stated attacks andor' statements on the mental capacities on blacks as a eroun ' .

He states: "The j. black family is one of the strongest institutions in America." In spite of the degradation; social tur- ' moil, and welfare difficulties, the black family sur vives as a tribute to the inherent capabilities of ( blacks to survive in spite of the odds. ' Following is the basic principle that underlies all interpersonal relationships: A large helping of love, understanding, compassion, patience, .support, teamwork, fairness, trust, perseverance, and the belief that every problem can be overcome if both partners want to work toward this goal.

And I do say that too often Black , people use the word racism as an excuse for our inadequacies. Quite often these are the same people who. in a bragging fashion, talk about Harriet Tubman and the "Underground Rail road.' Crispus Attucks and the Boston Massacre, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr encouraging our people to strive for indepen dence and equality of opportunity. But those same people are not doers: they seem to have lost that fighting spiriLThus. I keep saying that racism is an excuse, not the only reason why Black Americans fail to achieve our antici pated socio-economic growth. We must admit that some of our failures are because too many of us have allowed apathy and welfare to make us lazy and abandon the fighting spirit of"We Shall Overcome." WelL somebody up there must like us and is giving us a second chance to destroy this unconcerned Hstlessness and put forth the needed effort My friends, it is no longer a request but an ultimatum that Black Americans become more involved in the political process. Black people failed to put forth the necessary efforts during the last national elections and are now grumbling about budget cuts and loss of jobs. Procrastination and postulatlon can no longer be tolerated because the survival of the Voting Rights Act bf 1965 Is dependent upon pressures from millions of Black people. To irnpress you with the importance of the voting act to Black America, let me cite a , -statistic from the Voter Education Project: , : "Since passage of the act In 1965, minority i voter registration has increased by a thou- sand percent in Mississippi more than , a hundred percent in-ie other Southern I states; additionally, tht -JjZion now has j" 2400 Black elected officials as compared to less than a hundred prior to 1965." So, write to the President. your senator, and congressperson. Remember! The vote you save may be your own.

Of the five const itu-1 'tional' amendments that voters had to decide, the! one that would have : lengthened the terras was the most controversial. - In fact, a former state' legislator and veteran North Carolina politi cian said, during an in-1 ;terview prior to the vote, that "this is a con game. ; . .some people want to become full-time politi-: cians at the expense of the people." Tom Gilmore, chair man of the "Keep The Two Year Term Com mittee", said he rwas'' ' delighted that the vote turned out the way that it did., Prior to the vote, Gilmore accused those -politicians who favored the four year term of be ing "self-serving" and "deceitful". " In a related matter, voters cooncerned with the rising costs of utilities and the indif ference of administrative bodies to their plights,,, approved a measure giv ing the North Carolina Supreme Court the authority to review direct appeals from the state utilities board. . A leading opponent of the ., four-year-term amendment was Durham ' Representative Ken Spaulding who led all candidates in the state house race and who received more votes than any other candidate run ning in Durham County. t '- f i ; '' ' '' """J f . - -k. -,-a. k 1 .

When you buy something that costs a lot of money you want more than an "implied warranty". You want a guarantee in writing. This is called an "express warranty". An express warranty is the written promise of the seller or manufacturer. This war ranty will tell you: (1) What parts of the products are guaranteed; (2) How long "the guarantee is good; (3) What the seller or manufacturer will do if the product doesn't work; (4) What you have to , do to get repairs or a re fund..' . -.' This warranty is. good for anyone who owns the' product during the war ranty time.' Be sure to read , the warranty carefully before you buy. What you have in writing is your protection.
