v Conrad not reappointed
WINSTON-SALEM -- Forrest E. Conrad has charged
the county's Board of Commissioners with "petty
polities'?in the way it makes appointments to advisoryboards,
reported the Winston-Salem Journal last week.
Conrad, a Republican candidate for county commissioner,
was not reappointed last week to the board of the
Forsyth County Public Library. Three Democratic commissioners,
including two who will oppose him in
November, voted against him. Republican Richard Linville
voted for Conrad.
"It's just petty politics and just a cheap way of doing
things," said Conrad. "I'm just disgusted at the way they
appoint committees.... They don't go after people who
are qualified."
Conrad singled out Commissioner Mazie Woodruff,
the board's only black member.
ADL charges Farrakhan
NEW YORK ? A recently published report by a Jewish
organization says the controversy surrounding Minister
Louis Farrakhan is only the latest in the Muslim's
leader's "20-year record of racism."
The report by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith . cites Farrakhan's alleged threats against
Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman for disclosing
to the press that Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as
"Hymies" and Farrakhan's praise of Adolf Hitler in calling
Jackson a racist. The report also charges that the
Muslim minister has recently made threats against Jews.
Farrakhan, 51, has for two decades been the leader of
the Nation of Islam, an organization of black American
Muslims. When the original Nation of Islam split into
two factions, Farrakhan's group kept the original name
for the smaller of the factions, which has a reported
membership of 5,000 to 10,000. The other faction, the
County's jobless rate dr
Unemployment in Forsyth County was 5.5 percent,
down from 5.9 percent, between mid-March and midApril,
reported the N.C. Employment Security Commission
last week.
Those figures translate into 6,980 more people working
during the specified period than during the same period
last year. About 125,930 people were employed in the
county in April.
A year ago, the county's unemployment rate was 7.9
percent, or about 10,180 people were out of work at that

whom are very active. What are some educational recreational
outlets available to my 8- and 12-year-olds beyond
the usual pottery classes and daycare camps?
K.M.
A: Depending upon how much money you want to spend,
there are several avenues you can take to provide summer
fun and learning for your children.
For free and inexpensive activities, you can always
count on the Y, neighborhood recreation centers and the
public library, which feature fun and learning activities
ranging from crafts classes to films. For a complete
listing of such activities, call the city's First Line at
727-8100 and ask for the Summer Program Activities
Resource Box.
^ Churches and church groups sponsor out-of-town trips
throughout the year, and the rates are usually reasonable,
You might also try the Boys and Girls clubs and othei
community organizations that deal with*youth.

, blames 'petty' politics
"She will submit a black anytime there is an opening
on a committee," said Conrad, "and, being solid
Democrats, the other commissioners go along with her.
"She likes to load up these boards all over the county
with black people.... I have no problem with black people
serving at all -- if they're qualified."
A black woman, Clarice Holt Parker, will replace Conrad
on the library board. Conrad said he was not referring
to her in his criticism.
Meanwhile, Woodruff, who also is on the library
board, said she didn't lobby for Parker, but for Margaret
Smith, who is white and was not appointed.,

followers and is led by Wallace Dean Muhammad.
In addition to the Coleman and Hitler incidents, the
ADL report said the following are examples of Farrakhan's
anti-Semitic and anti-Israel philosophies:
- He described Jews as "enemies" of presidential candidate
the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
-- made several allegations about Jewish "control" of
the media.
- told Jews that, unless they accept Jesus, "then
maybe the angel of death will stop at your door and kill
the first-born of your house."
Farrakhan denied that he made death threats against
Coleman, and said that he meant, "When ... divine law is

A: Indeed, there is truth to what you hear, and yo
should take the warnings seriously.
Radiation rays from the sun may blind you during
solar eclipse if you look directly at it, says Dr. Astor Hai
. rill, a chemistry professor and chairman of the naturs
i sciences department at Winston-Salem State University
> Though the radiation is always there, the moon's block
ing of the light during an eclipse allows you to loo
; directly into the rays. Normally, the sun's brightnes
prevents you from looking at the sun for more than a fe^
seconds.

so- Before the Metropolitan YMCA, the governing board
lip- of all the YMCAs in the county, hired a security guard
almost four weeks ago to police the construction site during
the crew's off hours, the Y filed two claims with its inton
surance company. It had to pay a $1,000 deductible each
in" time, says Brian Cormier, the Metro Board's executive
in8 director.
The builder filed other claims not covered by the Y's
builder's risk insurance with its own insurance company,
says Cormier.

of Also, Cormier says, it is his understanding that the city
will place a permanent gate at the Winston Lake swimmlig
ing pool, another popular hangout for teens. The gate
will be kept closed during hours when the pool is not
ays open. _ . ^ |
currttiid saidllie gate is not an indictment of thie tceuac^
agers, but that all logical precautions are being taken. As
to whether the teens are the troublemakers, he says, "Obviously,
it's hard to say. All you can say is that the opportunity
does exist."
