Letters From
aware of the Hunt-Helms battle
(some have compared it to Star
Wars), but Helms' remarks were
the lowest and uncalled for.
Helms stated, 441 believe it's
fair to say that he's (referring to
Hunt) the racist in this campaign.
He's trying to appeal to black
Citizens, but he's trvino tn

it." Remarks like this by our
senator made me think of what
Helms represents to this state.
The campaign for senator in
North Carolina has sunk to a new
low, I'm afraid. "During his two
six-year terms, Helms has never
hired a black for his senate staff,
although his campaign press
secretary, Claude Allen, is
black" (News and Record, page
9).

mother.
The national statistics show
that the teen mothers are likely tc
have either low status, lowpaying
jobs or to be unemployed.
However, incomes are low
because of poor education and
the possibility that many of these
mothers will head one-income,
single-parent families.
A number of teen-age mothers
receive welfare payments,
however, the stereotype of the
unwed mother as a welfare
dependent is not justified.
Furstenberg found that twothirds
of the low-income black
teea mothers that he studied were
on welfare at some time during
tbcf flvffi iyears .after their leer
birth.
However, 50 percent stayed on
welfare 12 months or less and
three out of five were selfsupporting
or married tc
employed husbands five years
later. In many cases, welfare
funds helped teens to finish
school by providing for day-care
costs. The poor economic condition
of the black teen mother is
aggravated by an insufficient
supply of eligible males to marry,
inadequate day care and the high
unemployment fate for black

the last few years - it started ii
the mid-70s when deficits wri
relatively low. And its basi<
thrust is not to control deficits s<
much as it is to lower taxes.
Americans are among the leas
taxed people in the world, but th<
way the tax reducers carry on yot
would think we were among th<

evitable to help cut thoe deficits
if not to provide the full range o

Lem Smith
had a dream. 1
He wanted to get into sales.
But in 1952, nobody was buying what
Lemuel T. Smith was selling.
After a standout athletic career in
college, Lem returned home to south Chicago ?
to take over a beer route for a small
regional brand nobody took seriously.
Sales had hit the skids. And if he didn't m J\ I
turn it around fast, so would his career. KJl |
So Lem hit the streets.
Knocked on doors. g
Started early. Stayed I /T"l f \ M
late. And never sold 1
himself short.
Three years
later, it all paid off PB
as Lem was asked Vll
to join Anheuser- j
as a driver/
He responded
by building M
one of the fastest ^
S routes the
istory of the company.^^ I
Impressed by his initiative!^^!^^^
the brewery promoted him to regional
representative. The next year, he became I
district manager for all of Metro New York.
Eleven vears later, he was elevated to
Director of Marketing Development for the I
entire eastern United States. And in 1980,
he came home to the city where it all began.
Today, Lem and his two partners
own and operate one of the largest
and most progressive beer wholesale
operations in the country. His j .S ]ljl|
employees number over 100. His |3
territory spans over half of J*9Btabl
Chicago. And with his son now
part of the business, his dream Ji u
continues to grow.
AnheuserBusch is proud to^ B
work with people like Lem Smith.
J' Their efforts inspire us all to
realize our dreams. And in the
process, realize the effort it takes Wj
to make those dreams come true.
Building a future.
