year, so substantial bouses were built
from cedar. These bouses were long,
rectangular structures, some of them
having gabled roofs and others with
sloping, shed-type roof*. Parts of the
houses were detachable so they could
be used at nearby site* on a seasonal
basis. Large log posts were used as
supports, and sometimes included
carved totem poles.
In the Hasten) Woodlands there
was a wide range of architectural
types. In stime areas houses were
square, their walls tnade of poles or
cane and mud lined with woven mats
and with a roof made of thatched
grass. Some structures were circular,
with clay walls, and others were
open-ended rectangular buildings In
other, mainly more mvtherly areas,
structures were often the well-known
multi-family kmghouses ? huili
from poles and covered with hark (elm
rpeaking people). Alao common m

Thomas Harriot wrote Ibat in
Coastal North Carolina in tbe 1580s:
"their houses are made of small poles
made fast at the tops in round form...,
in most towns covered with barks,
and in some wfth mat* made of long
rushes from the lops of tbe bouses
down to the ground Tbe length of
them is commonly double to the
breadth, in some places they are but
twelve (to) sixteen yards long/ and in
some other we have seen of four-and
twenty..." Their towns are., small,
Mane containing hut ten or twelve
houses; some twenty, tbe greatest we
have seen have been but of thirty
housex; il they be walled [the towns] it
is only done with barks of trees made
fast to stakes, ta else with poles.. fixed

I think congratulations are in
order' Not just for the winners in the
first tribal election, but for all the
candidates who ran It was wonderful
to see so many new faces enter the
political arena. New faces, new ideas
and a new direction for our people It
w as great to see people witha common
concern working toward a common
goal. I wholeheartedly support the
new tribal council and our first time
tribal chairman. Dalton Brooks
Mr Brooks and the council have
"more on their plates than they can sa\
grace over." The forming of a new
government will take tune, patience,
hard work and a lot of common sense
We. the Lumbee People, elected these
tolks into power because we wanted a
government that will be responsi v e to
the needs of the people As a people,
our needs are many
The council needs to address tlic
educational needs of our youth, the
employment needs of our work force
and the healthcare needs of everyone
Another major issue thai is not dead is
the Lumbee Bill. The council sliould
be the fore runner in pushing that
effort forward The passage of the
Lumbee Bill w ill be the most important
single piece of legislation relative to
us as a people <
I'd like the council to set the tune
tot elections in the future around the
Lumbee Homecoming in July Letthe
elections be part of the homecoming
activity Make voting as easy a>
possible tor everyone Mavbe that
would help generate a high votei
turnout

Pediatric Pointers ,

By JOSEPH T. BELL, MD
Last Meek we talked about a
common infant condition called
teething. This week we will discuss
another commohcondition of infhncv
- the diaper rash.
Almost every child gets diaper
rashes They occur equally with cloth
and disposable diapers Must are
caused b. contact with moisture,
germs and ammonia from urine Bouts
of diarrhea cause rashes in most
children W ah proper treatment. diaper
rash usually improves within 3 days
If it doesn't respond to treatment, it
may be a yeast infection Suspect a
yeast infection if the rash becomes
bright red and raw. covers a large
area, and is surrounded by red dots
This will require a special ointment to
clear it. like lotrumn.
The following are some
suggestions to do at home to help
prevent diaper rash and help heal
existing ones
The key to successful treatment is
keeping the area dry and c lean so it
can heal itself Change "the diaper
immediately when wet or soiled. Make
sure your baby's bottom is completed
dry before closing up a new diaper
Leave your baby' s bottom exposed
to air as much as possible each dav
Put a towel or diaper under your babe
when the diaper is off When the
diaper is on fasten it loosely so that air
can circulate between it and the skin
Rinse your baby s skin with warm
water each time you change the diaper
Do not use soap after each diaper
change because this will irritate the
skin Wash with a mild soap (such as
? ? * - ' ? ? ? ? ? -^1"
g j
Dove) only after bowel mov einems to
remove the film of germs on the An.'
Rinse well after using.soap If th^
diaper area is ipute raw. soak the area
warm water 3 tunes a da> Add one
or two tablespoons of baking soda to
a tub of warm water and hold your
baby in the water for 15 minutes
During the night use disposable
diapers thai are made with materials
thai lock wetness inside the diaper
and away from the skin Do not use
plastic pants Until the rash is better,
charge your baby' s diaper once during
the night
Use creams and powders only
when needed If your baby's skin is
dry and cracked, apply petroleum jelly
or a harrier ointment such as A and D
or Desitin to protect the skin after
washing off each bowel movement A
barrier ointment is also needed
whenever your child has diarrhea
Cornstarch reduces friction and
can be used to prevent future diaper
rashes Recent studies show that
cornstarch does not encourage yeast
infection Avoid talcum powder
because it can cause pneumonia if
vour baby inhales it
Hopefullv these suggestions will
be helpful in preventing and curiug
diaper rashes tor vour infant
A special prayer goes out to Mi
James Jones and family Please
continue to support the Lunibee Bill,
it is not a dead issue and the folks in
V* ashmg ton need to hear our concerns
Take care and we'll talk again next
week'
