Taking Advantagt
We are facing a new year, and we may be sure 1984 will
not be a year tor idleness. There will be struggles, conflict,
disappointments and happiness.
No one will know what he will have to face through"
1984. However, now is a fine time to take stock. We can
look back and see how we did in 1983, and we can make
plans for doing better in 1984.

Mclean jU,
We m2y ask ourselves, "Are we satisfied with our progress?"
Of course, the past is a prelude and naturally we
are more interested in the future than in the past because
it is in the future that we are hoping to progress.
However, it is admitted truthfully that whatever the
disappointments' were, or obstacles, our human nature

Patrick Hairston is fond of saying, "Freedom ain't
free." Accordingly, whether you agree with its position
or not, certainly you must recognize the invaluable contribution
our NAACP has made in the past and will continue
to make in the future -- as long, as we support it with
our time and money. Locally,
we can take a joint stand for black independence
apd NAACP survival by purchasing $10
memberships and $20 tickets to the annual Freedom
Fund Banquet. Tickets for the annual fund-raiser have
been moving uncharacteristically slow this year due in
large part to the local branch's decision to buck the white
establishment and oppose the recent bond referendum on
the basis that the bonds would do little to bring economic
development to the masses bf blacks arttl loW-lncome

With the huge salaries that players have extracted from

cocaine environment, big money, is everywhere. Booze is
still there, but. drugs are what some contemporary
athletes want, so the commissioner has to get tough.
In the Howe case, the commissioner acted as best he
could. Howe was ill, was treated and had several relapses.
Along the way, he had several short term suspe.. v is, including
one of a month's duration, which resulted in
(v Howe losing $54,000 in salary. Kuhn's action showed
both his resolve and compassion because drug addiction,
and use, is an illness with one significant difference from
alcoholism ? it carries criminal penalties. ?
The sale of cocaine is criminal and a felony, yet usifrs,
not^sellers, are most often sent to jail.

That's why these TV and movie hertfes burn me up
?whenever they're shown cavalierly bounding across a
burning room. Because they're burning themselves up ... because,
in a real fire our hero would be dead of smoke
inhalation and covered with burn blisters before he got
halfway across that room. _
If you ever find yourself in a burning building, don't
emulate the TV character's suicidal example. Crawl your
way out; since heat and smoke rise, the coolest, clearest
air is to be found near the floor.

will not let them run down the stream easily and quickly.
But if we can only make and keep one New Year's resolu- I
tion in mind, there is a possibility of darkness disappearing
and the ray of light appearing. That one New Year's
resolution is: "Resolve to f&ce each day with faith and
confidence."
Beginnirtg a new year is beginning a new life which lies I
ahead of us. And as we enter new life our faith and con- .1
fidence wiU help us to achieve and go forward confidently
to greater growth, new happiness and new experiences.
It is a blessing that we cannot know in advance what
will be written in the book of 1984; and with a power not I
wholly our own, we shall need to find our way, sustain
faith, confidence, hope and courage to travel the new I
life's highway. Thus sustained, we shall find our I
endeavors more interesting and more satisfying. Further
involved, we will find our new life, new->strength, new
power, new thoughts, new circumstances, new conditions,
and we will be new creatures.
Wishing for reader of this column Quiet Peace, Hiappiness
and a Prosperous New Year. I

Therefore, if you still believe that freedom is a constant I
struggle, and that no one can save us from us Tor us but
us, then you need to search your heart and pocketbooks I
and resolve this new year to support the NAACP and
other progressive, action-oriented organizations by secur- I
ing your membership and by attending the Freedom Fund
Banquet on Jan. 12. The featured guest will be Benjamin
Hooks, executive director of the national NAACP.
You need the NAACP, and the NAACP needs you. So I
unless you honestly believe you are free and independent,
and that your children's future is secure, then support
our NAACP. I

tempted possession," a misdemeanor. They wanted and
tried to get drugs but had none. They started paying for
their mistake Dec. 5 in Fort Worth, Texas.
Those men are ill and jails are for punishment, not for
treatment of an illness. To sentence the players to jail is a
perversion of what jails are for.
The federal judge that heard the players' cases had
many tools at his disposal to constructively help them.
Among those options were treatment centers, rehabilitation
programs, work release programs and counseling.
Both the judge and commissioner said they imposed
their version of justice because the players were role
models. *
That implies that persons of less stature would not be
in jail, and that, obviously, is not equality under the law.
What baseball needs is a plan agreed to by the Players'
Association. Failing this, there may not be enough
players left to provide the role models who urge America
to get turned on to a favorite brand of beer.

By the way, do yoar children sleep with their bedroom

bedroom doors at night.
Of course, the wisest thing you can do about smoke is
to buy and properly install a quality smoke detector. It
detects and announces the presence of toxic smoke long
before it's too thick to breathe. If you don't have one, get
