NAACP to Focus on Church Ties
RALEIGH-Citizens of Forsyth County will have an
opportunity to suggest changes in the state’s criminal
laws and improvements in the criminal justice system
at a Governor’s Conference on Crime Control to be held
in Winston-Salem on Wednesday, September 27.
The public hearing, to be held in Courtroom 3B of the
Hall of Justice at 9:00 a.m., is one of thirty-seven such
hearings previously announced by Governor Jim Hunt
to be held throughout the state.
Hunt has designated Secretary of Crime Control and
Public Safety J. Phil Carlton to preside over the
hearings and both officials are hoping that many local
residents will attend the hearing to voice their opinions.
The primary purpose of the hearings, according to
Carlton, is to give citizens an opportunity to lend their
advice and suggestions on ways to reduce and control
crime in North Carolina. “This is not one of those
opportunities for those of us in Raleigh to come and
make speeches,” Carlton said. “We will come to listen
to any suggestion anyone wants to make about ways
and means to fight crime in North Carolina. We are
particularly interested in suggestions on strengthening
our criminal laws and improving our law enforcement,
court and correctional systems.”

The figures showed a decline over the three years
from 35.6 per cent of major crimes in the city to 31.9 per
cent in 1977. Figures for the black neighborhoods are
not yet available for 1978.
But those statistics don’t really deal with the real
dimensions of crime in the black community. Green
stressed as he rode around from one end of East
Winston to the other.
RALEIGH-Dr. Sarah T. Morrow, Secretary, Depart
ment of Human Resources, announced today that DHR
has received a waiver from the federal day care
regulations from the Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare.
This waiver mainly refers to the staff/child ratio and
effects the number of people employed who provide
services to children in day care centers. This will enable
the centers to serve more children with the same
number of staff with a lower cost per child.
“There are 23 counties mostly in the eastern and
southern part of our state, which do not have any
certified day care centers for their children,” said Dr.
Morrow. “This waiver should make it easier for
existing facilities to obtain certification, which is
necessary to serve children eligible for federal
assistance. I think another benefit of the waiver is that
it will provide quality care for children whose parents
do not receive a federal subsidy at a cost they can more
easily afford.”
Currently, there are 1,860 day care facilities across
the state and only 360 of them meet the federal
certification standards.
As he drove by eight square blocks of cleared out
homes. Green recalled his childhood. “All across there,
used to be little simple shotguns,” he said.
“Now they’re clearing them out and they’re moving
on top of each Pther,” he noted with a trace of
bitterness.
“A lot of it (crime) is frustration,” he said.
Green said he has been able to organize Neighbor
hood Watch programs throughout about 40 per cent of
the district, although not all programs are active.

RALEIGH-The Forsyth County Jail is one of five North
Carolina jails selected to participate in a pilot program
designed to improve health care for jail inmates. The
jails were selected by the American Medical Associa
tion and will work closely with the North Carolina
Medical Society in upgrading their health services.
The five are: Carteret County Jail, Forsyth County
Jail, Mecklenburg County Jail, New Hanover County
Jdil and the Polk County Jail. They were chosen from
jail applicants from across the state on the basis of
interest, geographic location and size.
Under the program, the North Carolina Medical
Society will work with each jail to improve its health
services, where needed, to meet the 42 different
standards required for accreditation. Among the
minimum standards are the need for a physician to be
on call at all times, a regular sick call for inmates, am
the availability of a properly equipped examining room.
Full accreditation under the project will help to assure
that persons being held in these jails receive proper
medical care during their confinement.
“One of the problems with our program is that a lot
of people feel the sign will protect tern,” he said. “It’s
not the sign. It’s the program.”
Among the most enthusiastic backers of the
Neighborhood Watch programs have been senior
citizens, particularly women, said Green. One neigh
borhood leader, Mrs. Mary Johnson, said organizers
run into a number of excuses “when people just don’t
understand what the program is about.
However, once signs start to go up in a few yards, “I
begin to see a lot of people’s eyes stretch.”
“I haven’t run into anyone who didn’t think it was a
good idea,” she said. As she spoke, a neighbor across
the street nailed up a “Neighborhood Watch” sign.
Referring to criminals, she said, “I’ve worked since I
was 7 and now I’m 63.1 don’t see why they can’t work
too.”
