?Sometimes

Perhaps you've had the rather
annoying experience of lying in

ing unable to sleep while vacationing.
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. There, before your
wondering eyes, lay the still,

and universities receive an
equitable share of of the chain's
corporate donations program.
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? My
answer to the above is a resounIIIIHIHaUlMMaaMllimiUiaUMUiiMiuMUiMuaiauxMHi

much to ask?
Why then, is the boycott so
controversial in some circles of
the black community? I suspect
the major cause of disagreement

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.
There are some blacks who
believe that black people would

The sidewalks were dark and
quite empty. Only one or two
people passed by and you
wondered where they could

the intermittent flashing of neon

and orange lights twinkled on
and off advertising furniture,
shiny automobiles or perhaps a

hazy lights looked like a colorful
rainbow linhtine the darkened
sky and soon your eyes were filled
with sleep.
Somewhere you could hear the
faint sound of someone whistling
a lonely tune that was appropriate
in the emptiness outside
your window. You were tired,
but somehow you could not resist
when most people are sleeping.*
The tapping of a policeman's
nightstick being run over an iron
fence called your attention. He
walked up one street and around
the corner and finally back to the

Back and forth he walked and
tapped the stick. You heard the
sound of an automobile engine as
the driver tried frantically to start
it. He turned the key over and
over again. Finally, the stubborn
engine responded and the auto
sped away.
The night became even quieter.
Not a sound could be heard.

Slowly, slowly, the neon signs
stopped blinking until they were
almost all out. The entire city was
asleep and you decided to join it.
Once more you climbed into
your bed, but this time you found
a comfortable position. How
relaxed you felt after spying on
the sleeping city. Quite easily and
quickly you dropped off to a
peaceful and sound sleep.
It seemed like only minutes
later that you felt the glaring light
of the sunrise in your eyes. The
clanking of milk bottles could be
heard as the milkman carried
them out of his spotless truck to
your doorstep and deposited
Already the children were
laughing and talking downstairs
and you realized the city had
begun to wake up. Alarm clocks
clanged and stirred their owners
from their sleep and urged them
to work. Buses ran to and fro in
the streets. The river was crowded
with little sailboats and ferries
and the faraway mountain appeared
to be wide awake.
It was relaxing to remain in bed
and listen to the awakening city.
However, you knew that 'you,
too, must rise. In spite of it all,
the annoying experience ended in
a period of relaxation.

the family. However, it is
"received" as a good thing.
Helms knows prefectly well
that most us are entirely too
busy to read all these bills. We
can't do our jobs and the jobs
of our legislators, too.
That is just why we need a
man like Jim Hunt in the

We can trust Jim Hunt to do
his job in the senate. He is not
overly concerned with perceptions.
Jim Hunt has the oldfashioned
ideas that if a man
does a good job and is honest,
all the people will know about
it. He trusts the people and I
trust him.
