The struggles were not in vain, since we are still a free country. Support for these people was a must. There is another war being fought by many today. It is not a war with guns and bombs, but many who lose the fight pay with their lives. This war is waged by men, women and children. The fighters are black, white, red and yellow of skin.

This year’s theme is the role of zoos in wildlife conservation. The N.C. Zoo will focus its pro grams on elephants because of their plight in the wild. The highlight of the celebration will be the weighing of the zoo’s five African elephants with a chance for visitors to guess the weights and win prizes. A simultaneous balloon launch by zoos nationwide will kick off the event on Monday, June 1, at 1 p.m. The balloons bear the Zoo and Aquarium Month logo and represent the four goals of these institutions—education, recrea tion, conservation and research. The ceremony at the state zoo will be held in the zoo plaza. Officials ot uie uepari ment of Natural Resources and Community Development, Robert L. Fry, zoo director, and Russell H. Williams, executive director of the N.C. Zoological uwiv*j, participate. Many othu - planned for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout June. There is no extra charge for “Zoo and Aquarium Month” events. Zoo admission is $3 for adults and $1 for children 2-15 and senior citizens. A tram which pro vides transportation between ex hibits costs $1 per person per day. The N.C. Zoo is located six miles southeast of Asheboro off UJS. 220, U.S. 64 and N.C. ISO. The zoo is open 9 a.m. to S p.m. weekdays to aon. to 6 p.m. weekdays For information, jobs.” .J,*,,., “North Carolina’s small business owners overwhelmingly oppose legislation that would re quire them to hold jobs open for workers on extended parental leave,” said Susan Valauri, direc tor of the National Federation of Independent Business/North Carolina. She cited a July 1986 NFIB survey of small-business owners that found four Of every five (81 per colt) opposing mandatary leave proposals similar to House Bill 965, introduced in late April by Rep. Annie Brown Kennedy (D Forsyth). Only one in nine (11 percent) of the 927 survey respondents favored the proposal. The remain ing 8 per cent were undecided. Kennedy’s tall would require employers to grant workers up to 18 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a newborn child. Employers would have to pay all of the worker’s benefits during that time, and return the worker to the same or comparable job at the end of the leave. Valauri said many small firms can’t afford to pay insurance for non-working employees or hold key positions open for months. “To escape such unrealistic re quirements, they turn full-time positions into non-benefitted, part time jobs,” she said. Valauri cited the experience of European countries as evidence that mandatory leave policies create more problems than benefits for workers as well as employers. “In every case, growth in full-time employment Suspension Is Approved WASHINGTON—Turner’s Livestock, Inc., of Rt. 3, Elizabeth City, N.C., has agreed to a suspen sion of its livestock dealer business and a $350 civil penalty from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A USDA official said the firm agreed to the penalties to settle federal administrative charges of operating in eastern North Carolina and southeast Virginia without a bond. Calvin W. Watkins, deputy ad ministrator of USDA’s Packers and Stockyards Administration, said the firm still has not filed the $10,000 bond required by its volume of business. In agreeing to the penalties, plus a cease and desist order, the firm neither admitted nor denied the federal administrative charges filed by USDA in February under authority of the Packers and Stockyards (P&S) Act. The P&S Act is an antitrust, fair trade practice and payment pro tection law. It is designed to main tain integrity in the marketing of livestogk<p6ulti!y and meat, and economic law and order in the marketplace. iTd'par^UmTwnplSme^St^ have soared once parental leave is mandated,” she said. Valaurinoted Oat the bill would apply only to employers with 15 or mare workers, but said, “Even owners who would be exempt re ject this bill as government med dling in employer/employee rela tions. They believe leave policies and other benefits should be negotiated betwen individual employers and their workers, not dictated from the statehouse.” becomes law, “It’s very easy to lower the exemption, first to 10 workers, then five. Mj Hite view the so-ca$IPiM exemption as just tile foil in the door. "We’re asking the Legislature to look beyond the pro-family rhetoric and consider the very real problems this bill would create for working women! their families and small-business owners,” Valauri added.
