L'eggs. a division of Sara Lee Hosiery, kicked off a van tour promoting the L'eggs Body Beautiful No Hose line on Tuesday at a CVS store on Yadkinville Road. A pink van bearing the L'eggs logo will log more than 10.CKX) miles and cross seven states. The Body Beautiful ambassadors will make more than 70 stops at retail stores promoting the new product. "It's a better way of reach ing women because they get the hands-on experience that you don't get with a commer cial." said Kinzer. who is from Winston-Salem. "You put on a tight dress and you feel like everything is hanging out, but you put these on and it pulls everything in and you feel bet ter in your own clothes." Available in one of five styles ranging from briefs, capris to slips, the new under garment is reminiscent of good old-fashioned nylons, sans the nylons. The product is good for women interested in eamouflaging curves, cellulile or those unattractive spider veins, the ambassadors said. It also eliminates the dreaded panty line while providing support. The No Hose can be worn under any outfit from jeans, slacks to skirts and dresses. "It's going to make women feel beautiful and more confi dent about themselves." said Cetrone. who is from Florida. "It's for any size woman, and it's just intended to enhance their confidence." While jazz music plays in (he background, the ambassa dors will greet each shopper with a coupon and compli mentary bottle of water at each of the stops. The No Hose are displayed on legged half-mannequins for shoppers to tug at and get an actual feel for the product before they buy it. Grace Johnston decided to pick up a pair of the No Hose after hearing the ambassadors' pitches. Johnston exercises regularly and thinks the gar ment will work well under neuth her workout clothes. "I lift weights a lot, so I'm going to try wearing it under my workout clothes, and I do a lot of yard work like mowing the gra&." Johnston said. "They do look comfortable." Sheran Thompson said the company decided to take the new product on the road so that consumers could, literally, get a better feel for the hose. "This is the kind of product that if you get it in the hands of consumers, then they love it." said Thompson, of McLeese Marketing Associ ates, the company that is mar keting the product for L'eggs. Body Beautiful No Hose are available in the hosiery departments of most stores, such as CVS. Kmart and Wal Mart. King from page AI people to enter the struggle for worldwide peace and justice.

"You've got a two-tier society and criminal justice system - one for w hites and one for blacks, one for wealthy and one for poor." Bryan Fair, a law professor at the University of Alabama School of Law. said that views of the case were influenced by underlying perceptions and experiences. "If one perceives racial bias in the system, when asked the question. 'Do you think Kobe is guilty?" I think the response, even before the evi dence. may be. 'No. I don't think so. I think this is another case of the system going after a prominent ~ African-American male.'" said Fair, who is black. But at a downtown San Francisco sports bar. where a mostly white group of patrons watched baseball after work, some said they are inclined to believe the charges - though they were careful to say they didn't know all the facts. Others focused on their sympathy for Bryant's accuser. "I'm very concerned about the victim in this case." said lawyer Jim Hargarten. who is white. "I think she's going to be ravaged by this case." Both blacks and whites mentioned O.J. Simp son.- whose acquittal at his criminal trial for the 1994 deaths of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman divided the groups. Most whites concluded the verdict was wrong, while most blacks favored it. Like Simpson, who combined spectacular suc cess on the football field with acting and football commentary careers. Bryant may have transcended racial boundaries experienced by many black men. Bryant and others, including Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, have been viewed as athletes first and black men second, said Tony N. Brown, assistant "Sociology professor at Vanderhilt Univer sity. But. he noted, that "doesn't last long. At the File Photo Kobe and Vanessa Bryant during happier times. Here they attend a movie premiere in Hollywood in 2003. first sign of trouble, race comes right in the pic ture." -JThe case also points to how. for blacks, one person's actions are often applied to the entire race, said Todd Boyd, author of the forthcoming "Young i .Black. Rich & Famous: The Rise of the NBA. the Hip Hop Invasion and the Transformation of American Culture." "To me. the essence of the way racism works in this country is white people are seen as individuals, and so what they say or what they do is linked to them as individuals." said Boyd. "Nobody will extend from their actions something one person has done to indict the whole race." Carelock from page AI has one explanation for why her mother her has lived for so long. "She has four children who died while she was having them. She is living on some body's time," McManus said. Carelock was born in Lan caster. S.C. She relocated with her husband and children to a rural farm in Eastern North Carolina when the kids were small. All of her children and most of grandchildren have bittersweet memories of farm life. They say now, looking back, that life on the farm was some of the best times of their lives. But they did not appreci ate farm life growing up and Carelock was a taskmaster, they said, who required every one to pull his or her own weight. "I did it but I did not want to do it at the time," Care lock's son, James, said about his farm chores. The family grew or raised all of their food, and Carelock performed daily tasks on the farm such as milk ing cows well into her 80s. Curtis Starnes, one of Carelock's many grandchil dren. remembers his grand mother teaching him how to milk a cow. She also taught him how to get the eggs from beneath the hens without cracking them. Lessons on how to churn butter are also fresh in Curtis Starnes' memo ry Curtis'sister. Trudy, admits to being grossed out by her farm chores. She had her fam ily laughing uncontrollably Sunday as she told a story involving Carelock preparing the evening dinner by wring ing the neck of one of the chickens on the farm. "The chicken kept running around with no neck....I could not eat that chicken that night." Trudy Slarnes said. Carelock is the center of her family's love and atten tion. They try to make her life as carefree as possible by sur rounding her with the things she loves, things such as flow ers. jewelry and peppermint ?

Carelock is known for coaxing house visitors into try ing to find where the family stashes the big bag of pepper mints. A deeply religious woman. Carelock always keeps a Bible nearby. When this reporter asked Carelock her secret for long life, she simply said, "The Bible." Carelock's home church. St. Paul Methodist in Lancaster, honored her with a special crystal plate on her 100th birthday. Her lack of mobility makes it hard for her to attend church these days, but she is under watch care at Union Baptist Church. Members of Carelock's family said they celebrate Carelock's birthday heartily every year because they don't know when the birthdays will end. What they are certain of is that they each carry a little of Carelock inside of them. "All the lessons she has taught us and all the things she made us do. have made us bet ter people.
