NEWS DIGEST National, state and local news briefs compiled by John Slade City Minority Business Guide Is Complete WINSTON-SALEM - After almost a year of hard work, a minority business guide that lists minority-owned and operated businesses, associations, organizations and religious institutions in Winston-Salem is finally com plete. The 40-page guide, titled the Regional Network of Minority Leaders Directory, was published by the In creasing Awareness Association. Joycelyn Johnson, special projects director of the lAA, said the guide was done as a service to the black community. “We are always told to support black businesses, but we do not know which businesses are black,” she said. “And we needed a hands-on-kind of thing that would identify the black businesses.” Some minority businesses were mistakenly left out, said Johnson, and others have opened since the directory Absentee Ballot Procedures, Deadline Set WINSTON-SALEM ~ Registered voters of Winston- Salem and Forsyth County who will not be in the city or county Nov. 8 can vote by absentee ballot prior to the election.

Africa PHILADELPHIA - The National Leader reported last week that several present and former members of Congress, writers and reporters have accepted gifts and money from the South African government. The story, a two-part series by The National Leader reporter Murray Wass, reported that South Africa has spent several million dollars in free trips, favors and political contributions to American political leaders and journalists. Wass reported that the South African government fun- neled some $250,000 in covert funds into the election campaigns of Sen. Rodger Jepsen, R-lowa, and Sen. S.l. Hayakawa, R-Calif. Hayakawa also reportedly received a $2,000 payment from the South African Foreign Af- Fire Prevention Safety Tips For Fuel-Fired Devices By THOMAS FLYNN Syndicated Columnist The energy crisis has sparked a revival of all kinds of household accoutermcnls from grandmother’s day: ceil ing fans, wood stoves, you name it. Next thing you know, we’ll be beating rugs again. Until then, here are some safety tips for the homeowner who has considered installing a wood stove or kerosene heater this heating season. The wise homeowner thinks about a lot more than the price when in.stalling a fuel-fired heating device in his home. Improperly installed or in.sulated, the heat of the unit itself can touch off a fire. Poorly vented, a wood or kerosene stove can fill a home with deadly, imperceptible carbon monoxide gas, leaving family members dead or ir reparably brain-damaged. It’s not too difficult to choose and install a fuel-fired heater safely. Before making a purchase (or even plann ing too completely), check with your local fire and bulding inspectors about the laws governing wood and kerosene stoves in your community. In some areas, such work requires a building permit. Many municipalities set requirements for distance from walls, type of flooring.

The investigative report also revealed that a South African front organization provided $20,000 in payments for speeches given by former President Gerald Ford, and that the South African government paid for more than 200 expense-free trips to South Africa for U.S. jour nalists. The South African government also funneled a secret $900,000 to the overseas enterprises of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church in exchange for part interest in The Washington Times, which is publish ed in the nation’s capitol, reported Wass. South Africa is under fire from blacks and other groups in America for its apartheid racial policies. etc., which may be more conservative than manufacturer’s instructions and could influence your plans for installing and operating the device. At the very least, plan to follow the manufacturer’s directions religiously. You may need to place a layer of insulating material or firebrick under the stove to protect the flooring from the heat. The major construction headache when installing a wood or kerosene stove is the chimney. Ventilation is a must, since any fuel-burning device produces combustion by-products which can quickly build to dangerous levels inside the home. Chimney type and size can also affect the fuel efficiency and heat output of your stove. In many areas where stove installation does not require a building permit, the chimney and its associated holes in your wall require official sanction. There’s noting more disheartening — or costly -- than to build a chimney by the seat of your pants and be ordered to take it down. Unless you’re pretty knowledgeable about construc tion, chimney building is best left to the professionals. Advance examinations of the cost of erecting a chimney may influence your decision whether or not you’ll actual ly save anything by switching to a wood stove.
