In Fair Share negotiations, the NAACP asked that, by 1986, 15 percent of Food Lion's employees be black. During the weekend of Aug. 5, the NAACP picketed Food Lion stores in 13 communities across the Southeast in an effort to show regional ?nr?r?r*r? ? u~ - -0?- - ? i i i a uuy tun that is beginning to appear ineffective. The local NAACP chapter picketed the Food Lion grocery store in Waughtown in July, but Shinhoster called off the pickets" after threats of violence were made to the group's members. Although the pickets are gone, Pat Hairston, president of the local chapter, said the boycott is continuing. n\\;? ??.:n i * " "t aic Miu uuycomng, ' saia Hairston.

Hunt also listed education, cuts in wasteful spending and the appointment of blacks to his staff as goals he plans to accomplish if he unseats Helms in the most expensive senatorial race in history. Hunt started the hour-and-ahalf session with an opening statement that emphasized improvements he said he has made in education during his tenure as North Carolina's first two-term governor. They included this year's $281 million school improvement package that he pushed through the General Assembly. Hunt said he plans to "become America's leading education senator" if he defeats Helms in November.

"I'm.proud of the fact that we have 2,000 more blacks employed in this administration than in previous administrations," said Hunt, adding that the number of total employees has not increased at the same time. When he took office, Hunt said, there were only five black judges. Now there are 22, he said, counting the recent appointments of Winston-Salem attorney Roland Hayes and Fayetteville attorney Patricia Ann Timmons last week as District Court judges. Hunt also noted his appointment of two blacks to the the state Board of Elections are black. Though he has no. black cabinet secretary at this time, Hunt said, he has appointed blacks to positions that will give them "opportunities and experiences that will enable them to be cabinet secretaries in the ?* iuiurc.

Last year, the company spent more than $650,000 with black firms, said Ulman. Black radio stations received 13.5 percent of the corporation's advertising, and 9.4 percent of the newspapers the company does business with are black, he said. Of the company's discretionary contributions, 10.7 percent went to black institutions such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said Ulman. According to Shinhoster, the boycott* is effective despite the low visibility of pickets. "I think .... U~..~ l nv, uavc iu dc reansuc aoout our goals," he said. "Visibility is no indication of how successful the boycott is going." Shinhoster said the organization expected the boycott to be a long campaign. "We viewed the boycott from the outset as being a long-range project," he said. "We are confident that, over the long run, shoppers will re-evaluate their shopping patterns and will not lis record support of all people." Hunt Gives Jackson Kudos Hunt also said the Jackson campaign has stirred interest among the state's voters, black and white, and that he hopes that many of those first-time voters will continue to vote and vote for him. But he has not always been so supportive of Jackson.

According to Shinhoster, the NAACP has sufficient funds to continue producing fliers and materials on the boycott, although he declined to reveal the budget for the campaign. So far, the organization has produced more than 100,000 fliers. "We have more than adequate 4 resources for carrying out the boycott," he said. Despite Shinhoster's statements, there has been some disagreement locally about the boycott. Some ministers and local political leaders are angry, saying the boycott could hurt the black community. They say that the boycott may force Food Lion to close the East Winston Store, which primarily serves the black community. Shinhoster said talk of closing the store is a tactic used to divide the black community. He said the company will not close the East Winston store because of its high sales volume. Shinhoster said the NAACP has other plans to dramatize the boycott but declined to release the details. immmininmiiiiiwm?uunmw?mtinnimmi?nntii From Page A1 imniMimmnimiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiniiii Although the Wilmington 10 and Warren Countv landfill issues involved black people, Hunt said, his decisions in both cases were not racially motivated. He didn't pardon the Wilmington 10, Hunt said, because he believes they were guilty. He shortened their sentences, he added, because he felt the sentences were "excessive." As for Warren County, Hunt said: "The Warren County site was not chosen because Warren County is a predominantly black county.
