We have ooth always rallied to one another in a time of trouble. I count him my dearest friend. And I would do just about anything to help him. His son, Shaun. was struck by a car a few days ago and is now, this very moment, in intensive care at Southeastern General Hospital. Cornell and his beloved wife, Peggy, are at their son's bedside. Monday night the cast members of "Strike at the Wind!" bowed their heads and prayed that God would be with Cornell and Peggy at this very special moment in their lives. They need our prayers. And I sincerely ask you to join me in praying for the recovery of their son. I am praying for Cornell; 1 know he would be doing the same thing for me if I were in need.

Thank You I Disability Under SSI - | The definition of disability under the supplemental security income ' (SSI) program is generally the same as under the Social Security disability program-that is, a physical or mental impairment that prevents a person from doing any substantial work and that is expected to last at least 12 months or to result in death. (The definition applies to individuals 18 or older. A disabled child under 18 may also be eligible for SSI monthly payments if his or her disability is as servere as one that would prevent an adult from working and if it it expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. A retarted adult or a retarded child may also be considered disabled under the law. Regardless of age, a person may be eligible for SSI benefits if his or her vision is 20/200 or less or if his or her visual field is limited to 20 degrees or less with the best corrective lenses. Even if a person's visual impairment is not considered serious enough to fall within the definition of blindness, it may still be considered serious enough for the person to be considered disabled for SSI purposes. The decision as to disability or blindness is made by an agency in the State the applicant lives. Disability under SSI-ADD1 Additional information about SSI benefits as a blind or disabled person may be obtained from any Social Security Office.

BIRTHDAY PROVERB FOR THURSDAY, JULY 4TH Isaiah M?8 "But now, o Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay and thou art the potter; and we all are the wort of thy hand.

Letters Statement in Opposition To The Proposed Hazardous Waste Facilities in NC Once again, the big bus iness of hazardous waste management and disposal has targeted a minority in rural North Carolina for two new facilities. The Coastal Plains of North Carolina-a region with a population greater than 50%, Black and Native Amer ican- is faced with plans to locate two highly dangerous hazardous waste treatment facilities. The outrages being consid ered are:(l) a plan by U.S. Ecology to build the first centralized radioactive waste incinerator in the United States; and (2) a plan by the GSX Corporation to build North Carolina's first com prehensive chemical waste treatment facility. Robeson. County, the county most effected by both facilities, has a population that is 35%Nat ive American and 25%Black. The Coastal Plains region has the lowest economic well being status in North Caro lina. This region produces little of the chemical wastes to be treated at the GSX facility and none of the State's 31 low-level radioactive waste producers are located in it. The plans of both companies points to future expansion. Local residents rightfully feel that the two sites are being chosen because of racial and economic factors. As the citizenry has become more informed, your coalition of Black, Native American and white citizens has made sign ificant progress. Your pre cedent making efforts need not only to be applauded but fully supported by justice loving people throughout the United States. Once again, a poor and predominantly minority com munity in North Carolina is being victimized by discri minatory waste management and disposal policies. The United Church of Christ Com mission for Racial Justice has walked this road before. In 1982, members of our staff, including Dr. Benjamin Cha vis- the Commission's Deputy Director and Reverend Leon 'White- director of our North Carolina field office, were arrested in the attempt to block the siting of a PCB landfill in poor and predo minantly Black Warren Cou nty, North Carolina. These arrests also included Con gressman Walter Fauntroy and Dr. Joseph Lowry, Pre sident of the Southern Chr istian Leadership Conference. At that time, I said, "We must move in a swift and determined manner to stop yet another branch of our civil rights." We cannot allow this national trend of using poor and minority communities for disposal of the nation's worst poisons to continue. Study ecology. The Coastal Plains is a highly agricultural area. I asked in 1982, "Why then would any rational thinking person put these resources in such grave danger?" Once again, there is no sensible answer- racism and greed are the only answers. Dr. Charles E. Cobb, Executive Director United Church of Christ Commission for Racial Justice I ~ FLOOR WORK j Install Carpet "Vinyl % & Artificial Grass .Located in | ( the Prospect Community " A ?

A* you folk oo doubt know, two Shiite gunmen a Boeing 727 shortly after it took off from Athena, Greece h??led for Rome. It was June 14. And there were 145 passengers and 8 crew mem bers aboard. After releasing some of the hostages, by June 16, 39 American hostages remained held captive. That day the Shiite AmaJ milita, headed by Nabih Bern, entered the crisis. Berri demanded that Israel release more than 700 Lebanese prisoners or the 39 remaining hostages held in Beriut, Lebanon, would not be freed. After countless negoti ations, the hostages' release was delayed once again when the Shiite Moselem leaders demanded that the U.S. and Israel guarantee them that there would be no retaliation for the hijacking. On June 30, after much belly aching and bally booing, the hostages were released. Now, I'm glad the hostages were released unharmed. But I'm a poor oP country Indian with down-to-earth beliefs. When I was little if I misbehaved mama always cut her a keen'' switch and gave me a good thrashing. The fact that I knew mama would give me one of these thrashings if I misbehaved helped foster my love and respect for her. And I later learned that when I did something wrong, if mama wasn't there to do it, I would still get a thrashing for mis behaving. Now, as I said, I love and respect my mama despite the many thrashings I received. And if I had to opt for one or the other, I'd a heap more rather have someone's respect than their love. The way I see it, it's high time oP Regan stop all this big talk and big act. After the hostages were released he said: 'Terrorists be on notice: We will fight back against you in Lebanon and elsewhere. We will fight back against your cowardly attacks against citizens and property." Boy! I bet you those terrorists are still smarting from those cutting words Hah! Now, no doubt, those are pretty impressive words. Though I was being sarcastic above, we all know the hijackers of the world aren't studying oP Reagan's veiled threats. There have been countless numbers of Ameri cans murdered over the years. To date, I haven't seen any of them reprimanded for their acts, except for an occasional tongue lashing. The way I see it, any good --or not-so-good--actor can read the words of a script like Reagan done at the news conference where he threa tened the hijackers of the world. I say if s time for the oT boy to decide how he wants the history books to treat him. Does be want to go down in history as a good?or let's say half-way decent-actor? Or does he want to go down as a good President? h's time for Reagan to throw the script down and forget about his acting days. I must admit his acting has improved somewhat since he went into office. Yet, he needs to face the fact that he'U never get that ever-illusive Oscar. Unless it's a slice of Oscar Mayer, because he's certainly fool of bologna! No, son. 1 say forget the big words, h's time to go out back of the White House and cut s big "keen" switch off of those immaculately trimmed hed ges. As the old saying goes: "Sticks and stones may break my bones. But words will never hurt me." It's time to break some bones, son. I don't care what anyone says. OI' Bern, Khomenei, Khada fi, and all those other so said-to-be big boys, will ben efit from a good thrashing. If they're human?and 1 doubt at times that they are-a good thrashing will make them think twice before raising a hand to an American again. Yea! OI' Reagan needs to realize that the days of merely slapping a hijacker on the wrist are long gone. I say, cut the hijacker's hand off at the wrist instead. Then, every time he raises a hand toward an American again all he'll be able to see is a nub where a hand used to be. And that's the guarantee I'd give them. Yea! I'll guarantee you and them that would make them think twice about their das tardly and cowardly deeds. I know that sounds hard and harsh. But it's the way I feel about this issue. I'm sick and tired of these little rinky-dinky publicity-seeking countries making one of the greatest super powers in the world today hang her head in shame. It's high time we reasserted ourselves as a super power among the coun tries of the world that de mands to be treated in a respectful manner. Indeed, if o!' Carter, and ol' Ford, and ol' Reagan would have been leading us back when we split from our Mother Country the conse quences would have been pathetic, to say the least. No doubt, we'd still be bowing our knees and kissing the "hem of Queen Elizabeth's robe. Or, actually there ain't no telling whet all we'd be kissing today. We'll talk more later, folk. Patrol Set For July Fourth Raleigh?The State High way Patrol is gearing up to protect North Carolina motor ists during the upcoming holiday.

Motorists are also urged to make sure their cars are safe for travel before they begin their vacations. Colonel Card well said, "Motorists should' plan for rest stops every; 100 miles.
