Preparing for Mother Nature's Disasters The recent snow storm made most of us realize that we cannot be too prepared for disasters. The ones that experienced power outages realized even more how we depend . . upon electricity. Electricity is instrumental for pumping water into our homes. Therefore, we cannot bathe, wash dishes, or run drinking water with out electrical power. Our habits and subconscious reflexes play tricks on us when the electricity is off. We go in rooms automatically flipping light switches, cutting on televi sions, radios, flushing commodes, turning on faucets, and stoves that do not respond or operate* as most youngsters complain "it's boring without electricity." The whole experience makes most people realize it's important to be prepared for disasters. Keep these tips in mind: Stock at least two quarts of water per person per day. Store the ivater in a sealed (unbreakable) con tainer. If not used, replenish the ?vfvater from time to time so that it ywill be fresHT When choosing food for disas ters, include those which the family ? likes; require little or no water for preparation; can be eaten without heating; are packaged in one-meal sizes; require minimum storage space; have a long storage life; can be rotated in your home fo6d sup ply; and contain water substitutes (such as canned fruit, vegetables or fruit juices). Cold cuts are okay if they require no refrigeration and are not hazardous to the health. When preparing foods, never can be found. It's always good to have some type of heating alterna tive such as a fireplace or an oil heater.

World African Network will j join Home Box Office, Showtime, i Cinemax and Disney Channel as the only other, premium stations. But World African Network will not compete directly with those stations, said Phyllis Tucker Vinson, execu tive vice president of World African Network. "We'll be showing more inde pendently produced movies, docu mentaries," she said. "We're not really going after the big-budget movies that HBO and Showtime get. We'll do more behind-the scenes interviews, interviewing the stars and looking at how the movie was made." World African Network will air 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will cost S9.95 a month, said Vinson, a former vice president of children* -and family programs for NBC. She said World African Net work is different than Black Enter tainment Television. One way, she said, is that BET is not a premium station. Secondly, World African Network will have more segments from African countries and the Car ribean, she said. "We see it as having a very big distinction from BET," she said. "Some of our programming will have to be an acquired taste." Vinson said extensive research has been done to determine what African Americans want to see on the cable network. "We are very careful in anazly ing this," she said. "We are trying to target where there is a strong African-American audience." She said the network will likely target the top 40 markets initially. Although "Winston^Salem is not in the top 40, Vinson said, if enough interest is shown the cable company will service the area. She said the key to getting the service in a partic: ular market is convincing the cabie service operators that there is a strong interest in the network so they can carry it, she said. Vinson said existing program ming will include theatrically released movies from major studios and from independent producer made-for-television movies, selected television series, concerts, sports and documentaries. The orig inal programming will be designed to provide an African-American perspective on existing programs, she said. This will include profiles of and interviews with celebrities The shock, the anguish, the damage ? the results of a crash far outweigh the time you save by driving fast.
