School Animal Poster Winners ASHEBORO- What would you natpe an ostrich, a bird which cannot fly but runs up to 40 miles per hour? One North Carolina third-grader suggested "Adidas." Robeson County school children and others statewide submitted imaginative names for eight poster animals in the "We Love You Zoo" Contest, sponsored by the North Carol ina Zoological Park and in state Pizza Hut restaurants to teach children about wildlife. Now 667 school level win ner including students from Robeson County, are compet ing at the regional level for S500. $300 and $100 scholar ship awards. In mid-summer, two statewide winners will each receive a $2,000 scholar ship award, presented by Governor'Jim Hunt, who will also present a $2,000 educa tion grant to the children's schools. School winners in Robeson County in the Kindergarten-4 contest and their schools are: Meredith Cochman, St. Pauls Elementary; Jody Emanuel, West Lumberton Elementary; Landry McDuffie, Lumberton Middle; Chris Rogers, Tanglewood Elementary; Ni konya Godwin, Pembroke El ementary.

Public and private schooll across the state received! contest kits in early May containing posters of a giraffe African CrownediCrane, Lilac breasted Ronner, rhinoceros, ostricf, lion, a chimpanzee and a group of elephants. Information on the back of each poster told students what each animal ate, its size, what sort of "family life" it had and singular aspects of its body and behavior. In competition, children in grades kindergarten-4 were asked to give personal names to all the poster animals except the roller. Students in grades 5-8 named the toller and answered the questions about the other seven ani mals, based on the informati on provided. Some of the younger chil dren created very apt names. One called the crowned crane, a till4)ird with cheeks and a blond topknot, "Princess Di." Perhaps a politician-to-be pegged the elephant "Tusk Force." The king of beasts was. of course the "Mane One." School administrators pick ed one winning entry each from students in grades kin dergarten-4 and 5-8 for sub mission to regional and state competitions. What's in a name?..maybe an education. Bingo Buffs Flock To Game CHEROKEE ? Thousands of players, paying $500 each, flocked Saturday to this remote Indian reservation town near the Great Smoky Mountains to play for $1 million in what was billed as the world's biggest bingo session. John Tate, a spokesman for Cherokee Bingo Management Inc., said 2,500 had paid the admission price in advance and another 500 were expected to show up at the door in this isolated hill community 60 miles southeast of Knoxville, Tenn. Prizes since play began last Dec. 4 have averaged $250,000 a week. But Saturday the reservation was hosting a $1 million session that included a final game with a $200,000 prize. The top prize in the final game was to go to the first player to cover an entire card. If there was no winner after 48 calls, the prize was to be cut in half. Other jackpot games were to have prizes of $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000 with 30 opening contests awarding $5,000 and another 20 offering $20,000. The games, which have lifted the impoverished - Eastern Band of Cherokees from an economy based on the sale of rubber tomahawks and other items to tourists, have created some controversy. The tribe, which traditionally raised money by dressing "chiefs" to pose with tourists, expects to clear as much as $750,000 during the first year of bingo, increasing its annual budget by one third. "I'm quite concerned about it," said U.S. Attorney Charles Brewer in Asheville. "The money coming in is very significant and it is going to bring in the wrong element. We have some indication that it is already here." "Our feeling is that many of these responses are knee-jerk reflex responses," said tribal counsel Ben Bridgers. "The problem of the Indians here and in other places is that the public response, or the one that gets printed in the media, are the 'grave concerns.'" The 9.000-momDer tund ia?i August authorised a company headed by tribe members. Dan McCoy and John Young to hold the games in a tribe-owned factory building. McCoy and Young, in turn, contracted with Cherokee Bingo Management ln< to promote and run the games. "We wanted something that was different from anywhere else, and that'* why 'he big mom;., explained President Sherman Lnhty of Newport News. Va. "Because after all. Cherokee a remote place and you've got to have something to bring them ,in." The tribe gets Mao.nmt a year from the deal, plus %2 per player. 1 percent of gross receipts and ? prrcent of concession sales That is much-needed money to a reservation accustomed to the peaks tnd valleys of an oconomy 70 percent dependent on tourism. "It'a been a big asset to the area, said tribal . revenue officer Hie hard Bird. "You got t? figure it not only bring- in re-venae hut It J?i tu tps bring in tourists and that fibers down In the motel, and restaurant McCoy. .Is who al-o ?s a tribal emivcil metnber and candidate fur thief, -aid he wa- nut surprised hy questions of orcanwed > rime or improper dealings He said he believes the KHI is moon ring him and his operation. si "1'lU proud of my India" h< n' ig- " he said "I hav. enough respec t for my poopV net to do something like that We're ail?iv?n people h. re "But 'hat'* the on- it v Indians get ?ometh'n. good going an i -omehody w ml t- -ake t away fr? n? them." p eu * ' ?

Amway Corporation; artist Paul Collins and Jay van Andel, chairman, Amway Corporation at premiere showing of the "America at Work" collection. Department of Labor, Washington. D C. Washington notables and art lovers gathered in the De partment of Labor's Great Hall to salute the American worker and view the un veiling of a series of 22 dry oil paintings entitled "Amer ica at Work" by noted black artist Paul Collins. Commissioned by the Am way Corporation, the paintings show Americans in various work situa tions, ranging from Mstislav Rostropovich playing his cello, to a young Vietnamese immigrant delivering news papers. Amway's president, Richard DeVos noted, "This is a salute to the American worker. It is a salute to all those millions of people whose work has combined to make this country what it is today. It is a salute equally?to the famous'and not so famous." Following the Washing ton exhibition, the paintings will be on permanent dis play at the new $65 million Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which will be dedicated this coming Labor Day. Collins, best known for his giant mural of the life of former President Gerald i R. Ford, has created an im pressive portfolio, including portraits of American In dians and West Africans. "The idea for the se ries came from my travels around the world, compar ing our workers with those in other countries," said Mr. Collins. "When Paul came to us with the idea, we immediate ly sparked to it," said Jay Van Andel, Amway chair man. "Our company was founded to provide goods and services to help others live better. This series shows Americans doing their jobs with pride and dedication. To me, that is what America is all about." Many of the subjects of Collins' paintings were on hand at the opening, includ ing Paul Homrich, an 81 year-old Michigan farmer who had never before trav eled outside his home state. Amway Corporation has been committed to support ing the arts.
