61-percent black population and another
with a 51-percent black population.
Little's first single-member district contains
a 57.2-percent black population with
56.3 percent black registered voters. The
second district contains a 56.1-percent
black population with 53.8 percent black
registered voters.
The basic difference between the two
plans is that the Kimberly Park and St.
Stephens precincts have been moved from ,
the second to the first district and the
Happy Hill Recreation Center and Trinity
Moravian Church precincts have been
shifted from the first to the second district
in the plan the delegation favors.
"My P^n is the better plan," Little
said. "In their plan part of the Kimberly
Park projects would be voting in one
district and the other part in another.
That's confusing. In my plan the total
East Ward is in one district and the total
North Ward is in another. But at least we
have won the struggle with the concept of
two (black single-member districts)."The
major shortcoming of the plan endorsed
by the House delegation is that it
divides the county according to population
figures and does not take into account
the number of black registered
voters, Little said.
"Their first district, which has a
61-percent black population, has about
60.5 percent black registered voters," Little
said. "And the second district, which
is 51 percent black, has only a 45.8 percent
black registered-voter population."
But Little said aggressive voter registration
drives by the local NAACP may get
the black registered voter population
above the 50-percefit mark before the

"If we get up the registration numbers
in that district like I think we can, we can
carry that second district, too," Little
said. "The way I see it, if (Southeast
Ward Alderman Larry) Womble can win
in a ward with only a 30-percent black
population, then we ought to be able to
do it with a 50-percent black population."
A third plan divides the county into five
single-member districts.
Black House representatives Annie
Brown Kennedy and Hauser gave a

Your option is to refuse to treat your own
child in any manner that resembles the
treatment you received.
Perhaps a sincere, non-accusatory letter
to your mother will open dialogue, and
just might become the first step in
building the relationship you crave.
Are Live-in's 'Married?'
Dear Yolonda: I'm very much interested
in a guy on my job. He's single (so am I),
but he's living with a woman.
John and I work on many projects
together and we seem to have much in
common. I've seen his girlfriend, and I
can't imagine what they have in common.
She's a dud.
I think John is interested in me, too.
But my question is, do live-together
couples consider themselves married?
Should I wait to see if John and his friend

meeting last week. Both said they would
have to study all the plans before deciding
which one to support. Hauser and Kennedy
were, however, receptive to the
possibility of two predominantly black
single-member districts.
Margaret Tennille, chairman of the
Forsyth County House delegation, said
she supports the plan designed by the
legislative drafting service.
"My own preference is to have two
single-member btack districts and three
(candidates) run at large," Tennille said.
"It makes for more of a community if at
least three are running at large."
black Republicans also support the
concept of two black single-member
districts. Rodney Sumler, who has twice
run for the state Senate on the Republican
ticket, said two predominantly black
single-member districts is good for
American politics.
41 If done, it will be a good step in the
right direction as far as restoring strength
in the two-party system," Sumler said.
44If the Democratic Party is interested in
fairness, they shouldn't mind cutting out
a piece of the pie for blacks."
Though some whites complain that,
since blacks comprise only 20 percent of
the county, they should not make up 40
percent of the House delegation, which
two single-member districts would almost
assure, Little disagrees.
441 would settle for just one black
single-member district if they would be
willing to give us our share of everything
else according to our percentage of the
population," Little said. "There are 11
(white) congressmen in North Carolina
and our share is two. There are no black
District Court judges here, and we would
like to have our 20 percent share and our
share of everything else county and
statewide."

break-up? I still consider John single.
Diane
Dear Diane: It's clear that some livetogether
couples consider themselves married.
Some don't.
But to get a better reading on whether
or not you should wait on your intended,
I polled several men who, because of their
own living arrangements, have extra insight.
Responses ranged from: 44We are
married ? spiritually" and 44We're in our
arrangement to hold down finances" to
44As soon as we get around to it...They
had lived together seven years)."
In your own case, I suggest that you ask
John whether he's planning to marry
soon. If his answer is vague, he still considers
himself eligible.
