It might have been that it was too warm to sleep, possibly too cool with air conditioning, or maybe there was something bothering you. First you laid on your back, but discovered that wasn't right. Then you rearranged your pillow. Next you rolled over on your side with your arm tucked under the pillow. Still. ?were unabkjo rda*^.. Finally realizing that all your efforts to sleep were futile, you decided to get out of bed and sit up for awhile. You sat in a com fortable chair by the window and looked out.

And now for a look at the East Winston store. Food Lion made the East Winston Shopping Center possible by becoming the principal tenant of the center. They agreed to locate there after a 20-year search for such a tenant. The store has a black manager and 36 of its 42 employees are black. The supermarket provides a convenient, competitive place for the community to shop. The supermarket is a customer of the nearby minority-owned bank, and it gives as much of its advertising dollar to the local black paper and radio station as any of the other local food chains. Is Food Lion an asset to the black community? Is Food Lion a responsible corporate citizen? Isn't the present corporate program of Food Lion consistent with the objectives of the NAACP? It is my opinion that thinking people would answer those questions in the affirmative. Is Food Lion antagonistic to the black community? Should the East Winston community initiate a boycott of the East Winston Food Lion supermarket and drive a convenient, competitive supermarket from its community?

This particular shopping center has some investment from a few black citizens who are members of the local NAACP. However, the vast majority of the investments made in this shopping center have been made by whites. This is not a black-owned shopping center, but it does provide convenient shopping for an area of Winston-Salem that has been ignored for years. To its credit, Food Lion was the one food chain that responded to the call to locate in the East Winston shopping center. But, let's be clear ~ Food Lion did not locate in East Winston for any altruistic purposes. Food Lion's surveys showed them a lucrative, untapped consumer market and it seized the blatant opportunity. The East Winston Food Lion store is one of the most profitable stores in the entire Food Lion chain, and thusly Food Lion's rebuff of the NAACP is even more insulting and ironic.

Alarm clocks clanged and stirred their owners from their sleep and urged them to work. Buses ran to and fro in the streets.
