SEATTLE -- New research on middle-class blacks
who live in predominantly white suburbs finds that
black families feel accepted in their neghborhoods,
but still maintain strong ties to the black communi

A team of 17 investigators studied 64 black
families in the Seattle, Wash., area and discovered
few of the families felt alienated from either the

Blinded By The Light
Q: Those yellow lights on the grill or just under the
headlights of some cars are very annoying. Are they
illegal? The glare can be very blinding if you are in
an oncoming car.
M.L.C.
A: Scott Keeper, district supervisor of the N'.C.
Highway Patrol Inspections Department, says those
yellow lights you refer to generally are legal fog
lights. They may be considered hazardous if they
create a blinding glare for oncoming traffic, but
that is determined by an officer at the scene.
Hunger Is Real
Q: I have begun to see a lot of specials on television
depicting hungry people in drought-ridden lands. It
all looks very gory. Is it true that people are starving
or is it just a ploy to get money from the public?

Blacks now make up more than six percent of the
nation's suburban population. The number of
suburban blacks increased 71.8 percent between
1960 and 1977, with one of out five blacks living in
suburbs by 1981.
The study also found that 89 percent of the
children said they wanted more black friends and
that 84 percent of the children disagreed with the
statement, "Sometimes I wish 1 were white."

estimate of the appalling toll of hunger-related

Q: I've often wondered how some of the streets in
Winston-Salem were named. Some of them seem
very odd, especially the ones in residential areas.
A.J. '
A: There's more than one answer to that question,
according to Claude MacMahan, assistant planner
with the Winston-Salem Planning Board.
Many of Winston-Salem's street names
originated in Old Salem and Historic Bethabara.
Names such as Bethania and Bethabara Road are
