Each day is a By NAOMI McLEAN Chronicle Columnist The right way to look at life is to consider the work of each day a challenge and an invitation to service.. It is the way of life that is both productive and satisfying.

His joy spreads and communicates itself to others and also his fellow workers. Often it requires real effort to do each day's work in a joyful spirit, but it is very much worthwhile to try in every way to develop the attitude which expects genuine satisfaction from work. It is an attitude that is not limited by environment, and a person who takes cheerfulness and willingness with him is not only good company for himself, but for others as well. The experienced worker knows how his own attitude affects and influences the atIMIMMMUUIMtlUIIIIMIIUMMtttllltMroMmtlttllHIIIIIIIIItlllllMIMIIIII The wrong inve; ilMlllltMMMtllMMtMMtlliMlllltlllllllHUtlimilllltlltMllllltMIIIMIIIIttl assets, to sell their stock in any company i which does business with the racist government. South Africa's rigid apartheid policy denies over 23 million blacks a voice in the land of their majority and is an 4'antithesis" to the founding principles of American democracy, Bowen said. In support of his legislation, Bowen said it has been documented that in 1978, education in South Africa was free and compulsory for white children. But on the other hand, black parents who chose to try to educate their children are forced to buy their own books, supplies and pay tuitions. During this same period blacks earned an average of $1,502 annually while whites averaged $6,930 a year, Bowen said. From his viewpoint, Bowen said: "It is past time for economic sanctions against MMMiiiiiimmimmiiiiiiiiiitiimiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimtiimmiiniiii Letters From Page A4 iMMIIIIIMIIIIIIIimiMINIIiailllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIHUIIimiHIIMHIII Perhaps King would have been too embarrassed to admit publicly that there was indeed more racism in the CarterMondale camp than was originally anticipated. Perhaps the decision was made to "just tide it out" and hope that things would somehow correct themselves over a period of time. Or, perhaps "Daddy Kino" felt snmethino wnnlH rhanop for the better after throwing his arms around Jimmy Carter while on national television when Carter stated his belief in the preservation of "ethnic purity" in the Wisconsin primary. King, in this apearance, proclaimed to all of Black America that Jimmy Carter was a good man, was a particularly good friend of his and a friend of blacks in general. That statement had an impact on Black America that many in the political world, both black and white, felt rescued Carter in the remaining primaries where the black votes became so crucial. The King family, as most of us know, has made significant contributions to blacks all over the world. I am eternally grateful to Martin Luther King Jr. for the enlightenment which he brought to this planet. This enlightenment has con tributed greatly to the quality of life for both black and white.Yes, I love, admire and respect the Kings for all of their contributions and the many sacrifices made bythcmv Ptifrwc rmm* > fmvu iuiMj liuri ^ reason toquestion their jnatives,forihey were clearly for the benefit of mankind in general, and for blacks in particular. I now believe that the Rev. King and Mrs. Coretta Scott King should examine their motives and perhaps share them with us by explaining why they would continue to endorse Mondale when Jesse Jackson,, a black man, needs all the support he can get from blacks wherever they may be. I believe they should accept the premise that even giants must move over "when their shadows begin to cast a shadow over the growth of their own kin. They must know that the time has come when the Martin Luther King Center for Social Change ? if there is to be a change in the.black condition in America -- has to toy at least with the notion that blacks have to believe that they are good enough, politically astute enough, tough enough, courageous enough and equal to the task The Winston-Salem Chronicle i Winston-Salem Chronicle Publishing Mailing Address: Post Office Bo: Phone: 722-8624.

Bringing the facts closer, if we seize upon the good that exists, whatever tasks I there are, we get good by giving it. We gain by giving; therefore, give cheerful loyalty, and be proud of it. One important factor: Think ahead.-The right kind I of thinking ahead will help us to do the I work in the present as we should do it. Do the task in absolute loyalty, and perfect confidence. Willingness and ability to work thoughtfullly, accurately and constructively is the keynote for a reward. Constant progress is worth considering as it is, too, a key for obtaining a reward. When we have a "divine discontent," which is that kind of discontent that lies at the base of discoveries, it makes us continue to work slowlv hut surelv. findino out more and more about our responsibilities which involve the successive steps toward betterment. To accomplish well I what we have in mind, think first; then do I ? because we go from the unknown to the known, and then to the better known.

Although his bill has been approved by committee, Bowen obviously fears that it will suffer the same fate as previous measures unless massive public support is forthcoming immediately. Bowen, in a news release last week, said, in effect, it is now time for Ohio I community groups, church bodies and officials, union members, students and individual Ohioans to stand up and be counted as against continued support for apartheid. Five states and several city governments already have laws reflecting the intent of Bowen's proposal. And we concur in his suggestion that Ohioans should be eager to add their voices to this growing outcry. IIHMIIUIMMIIIIIItllllllllllllltllllllllltlllttlllllllNlllllimilllllimtllll of seeking the highest office in the land. The Kings, after all, should know and accept the fact that Jesse Jackson has already won the respect of black men, women and children all over the United States. In that process, Jackson has also improved our black image and sense of worth all over this planet. People in other nations viewing television now see a black American running for the highest office in this land and perhaps the most important job in the world. They see us now as something other than clown, thugs and unattractive non-persons. Yes, Jesse Jackson has won much more than delegates and votes, and I find it appalling that the Kings can't seem to accept the importance of including his political quest on their agenda. It is so important to all of us who happen to be black in America. "^ie Kings, I would hope, will not find it t6o difficult to search their hearts and ask the question, "Is it not time to support and encourage balck men and black women to contest all public offices whether our white friends are seeking those offices or not?" In the event we do not win those respective offices, we will then sit down at the bargaining table and discuss the price of what that support will be. Must the Kings continue to support ~ putlticiam they hnrrw han mmdj - -whkk4e**e much io he 4e&iued, and .must we as blacks continue to be left in the dark about what motivates them as a family to pursue a poiiticalpolicy which, for the most part, is detrimental to most blacks. ... Until this time, I have not felt the need to publicly address some of the issues mentioned in this letter, but there is a North Carolina primary in the offering and I would hope that this letter will in some way help some of us who may be a little confused about whether we should support Jesse Jackson with votes, dollars and other campaign support because of the Kings* endorsement of the other candidate. My suggestion is, and will always be, "Try to elect one of our own first, and failing that, then negotiate with the surviving candidate(s).
