It isn’t until the rain stops that her fears- very real ones - subside. This woman is one of over 3600 victims of last November’s floods in the North Carolina mountains. Her house has been rebuilt and most of her possessions replaced. But all of the damages caused by the disaster were not that easily repaired. She still is working on healing the psychological wounds that come with being part of such a disaster. Through the Blue Ridge Mental Health Center in Asheville and a federal grant this woman and about 600 other persons who suffered traumas because of the flooding were able to receive psychological help and counseling. The purpose of the program, Project Hand (Healthy Adjustment to Natural Disasters), was to determine the adverse psychological effects the November 6, 1977 flooding had on the residents of the four hardest hit counties: Buncombe, Yancey, Madison and Mitchell. Funded with a $47,600 Federal Disaster Assistance Administration grant the program was the first of its kind in North Carolina. Livingstone Gets Grant SALISBURY NC- President F. George Shipman has announced Livingstone College’s receipt of a Title III Grant for the 1978-79 school year in the amount of $608,500. The grant award will be used to strengthen the areas of curriculum and faculty development, student services and administrative operations. Title J** 's part of the U.S. Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and provides support for strengthening developing institutions that serve large percentages of low income and minority students. The program is administered by the division of institutional development of the U.S. Office of Education and funds more than 250 schools annually with grants ranging from $100,000 to $700,000. This year’s grant to Livingstone is one of the largest one-year grants awarded to a four-year private institution and is the largest 12-month grant received by the College since it began participating in the Title III Program. Migrant Workers File Suit Fayetteville, N.C.-An attorney with Farmworkers Legal Services of North Carolina (FLSNC) today filed the first lawsuit in the state’s history on behalf of migrant farmworkers. The suit, which was filed in Federal District Court in Fayetteville, names a Sampson County crew leader and a Johnston County farmer as defendants. In the suit, the farmworkers are seeking money damages for alleged failure of the defendants to pay minimum wages and to make disclosure required by law before transporting them to temporary labor camps in North Carolina. “This suit is the beginning of what we feel will be a continuing effort to enforce the legal rights of migrants and seasonal farmworkers,’’ said FLSNC Executive Director Bill Geimer. “Our clients are members of a segment of society that has been exploited for too long,” he said. “They have the legal rights accorded to them by our state and federal governments and we intend to do everything possible using the legal system to see that these rights are enforced.” FLSNC was started in August. It is an affiliate of the statewide, federally-funded Legal Services of North Carolina program and it is responsible for providing free civil legal assistance to migrants and seasonal farmworkers. FLSNC offices are located in Newton Grove. N.C. Says Human Relations Panel By Sbaryn Bratcher Staff Writer North Carolina’s Human Relations Council has pass ed on a resolution calling for more minority represen tation in the state’s educa tion system, and members of the council will meet this week with Governor James Hunt to discuss the resolu tion and three others, re cently passed by the group. The governor will confer with Dr. Jerry Drayton, chairman of the N.C. Hu- •■man Relations Council, Di rector Henry McKoy and a committee who will discuss the implementation of the 4 resolutions which were adopted at the council’s last quarterly meeting in Char lotte. The education resolution urges the Governor to ap point more minority repre sentatives on boards of trustees within the state’s community college system. It also recommends that Hunt establish a “special task force on the hiring of minorities” to consult with local educational leaders for the purpose of encoura ging equal employment of minority groups in educa tional institutions. A resolution on fait em ployment states that “the present statutes prevent the state of North Carolina from receiving large sums of funding for processing and handling discrimina tion complaints for the state’s handicapped, elder ly, minority, and female citizens,” and it asks that WINSTON-SALEM CHRONICLE The WbMton-Salem Chronicle is published every Thursday by the Winston-Salem Chron icle Publishing Com pany, Inc. 603 Pepper Building -102 W. 4th St. Mailing Address: P.O.

State Needs Fair lobs Laws the governor include a “Fair Employment Practic es” bill with enforcement authority for the State Hu man Relations Council in his fall legislative package. The Human Relations Council will discuss the possible implementation of a New Horizons program on the state level. The New Horizons program was de veloped by HUD’s Fair Housing and Equal Em ployment Office to provide grants for governmental units to engage in voluntary compliance in Fair Hous ing. In its fourth resolution, the council resolved to take an active role in voter registration. It plans to present to the governor a study conducted last sum mer analyzing the minority voter registration statistics in North Carolina. The study shows that there are 62% white registered vo ters and only 45% non white registered voters. “There are some eastern counties where the black population outnumbers the white,” Dr. Jerry Drayton explained. “We feel that if these people would be re gistered and vote, they could change a lot of things to make conditions better for themselves-like getting better health care.” At the next meeting of the N.C. Human Relations Council, to be held next week in Durham, a commit tee will present a study of the state’s affirmative ac tion plan, pointing out those departments which deviate from the plan. “We feel that we could be more effeective if the state provided a living example of affirmative action,” Dr. Drayton commented.
