Proudly representing her Lumbee people with beauty, grace and pride Then and Now by Louise Dirnery Weuver Did you feci while growing up in Robeson County. North Carolina that we Indians were the only oppressed people in the world'' When y ou were in towns other than Pembroke you expected to see the restrooms for three races I don't even remember if they were unisex People have been oppressed since Uic beginning of time Remember the children of Israel try ing to get out of Egypt How about slaves being separated from family and sold and later dealing w ith the KKK How about the trail of tears and all the injustices of inequities up until this very day My in-laws are first generation Americans from Europe Tales have been told of when their ancestors first landed at Ellis Island They were not greeted in the manner they had expected. In fact they sometimes lost their names because phonetically they were given names that sounded okay to those in charge of proving them No matter w hat status they enjoy ed in Europe, they were usually relegated to employ ment in the coal mines here in western Pennsy lvania. Of course that meant living in company patches, shopping in company stores, w hich meant keeping a tab which I'm sure y ou have guessed by now would never get paid off These immigrants made sure their children were educated and soon accompanied their parents to the store to make sure the lab didn't grow on its own. Closed minded people have missed so much by shunning other nationalities. I remember one wonderful summer day my husband and I planned a picnic for special friends We gave no thought to our menus, just foods vvc both liked and thought our guests would enjoy as well. In our circle of friends were Germans. Jews. Blacks. Russians, and of course one Indian Our menu consisted of Ruben sandw iches, potato salad, corn on the cob. watermelon and peach cobbler. When our Jewish friend arrived she looked in the pots as she usually did She began to giggle She remarked. "Leav e it to you. Louise " She gathered plates and began to set food in front of each guest In her plate was a Ruben sandwich, in Roy's German plate was Kraut, she gave a Black friend watermelon and of course she gave me an car of com. By that time we were all laughing so hard we could not eat. That evening turned out to be one of the most memorable of our lives. All ethnic incidents, good and bad. that had ever happened to any of us were discussed until the wee hours of the morning. Our group was close to begin with, but that day we became family. There were two people present from the same office that day. needicss to say. neither of us kept appointments that ev ening. By the way. if you hav e never acquired a taste for sourkraut for your Ruben sandw iches this chow chow recipe will take the place of the kraut and relish Chow Chow 1 pk green tomatoes 6 large onions 6 red and green bell peppers large head of cabbage (I also put in a bit of hot peppers) Method Slice all v egetables.

A chcst-xray shows an abnormal patch of fluid on the lungs. Most children with pneumonia can be cared for at home Fewer than 10 % of patients need to be adnuttcd for IV fluids or oxygcn.Those admitted arc usually young infants or children with large areas of lung infection There arc a few basic suggestions for taking care of the child with pneumonia who docs not need to be admitted (1) Make sure the child is given the antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor. Remember that antibiotics only work against bacterial pneumonia, because it is sometimes hard to distinguish bacterial from viral pneumonia, some children with a viral infection w ill be given antibiotics as a precaution. Most pneumonia respond to the antibiotics within 24 to 48 hours, but don't forget to give the whole dosage (2) Don't forget to give Tylenol for fever or chest pain if needed (3) Give warm fluids for coughing spells. Warm lemonade, apple juice, hot soup or broth help loosen up thick secretions so the child can cough them up better (4) Use a humidifier in the child's room at night. Dry air tends to w orsen a cough, and moist helps quieten the cough (5) Keep the child away from cigarette smoke. We all know that tobacco smoke aggravates a cough and make coughs last longer If the child's congestion worsens after being on antibiotics for 48 hours, make sure you check with a doctor, he may deserve a reevaluation. A Commoner Comments by Robert Currie Jr. The Shame of Southern Heritage was Encouraged by Northern Greed I read another "it's heritage not liatc" letter of support for the Confederate "Rebel" flag recently. The writer simply could not understand why desecration (associated with Hitler's Swastika and burning the Symbol of Christianity during hatecrimes with neither protest nor counter demonstration by Southern Heritage advocates) reduced their symbol of heritage to a symbol of hate and disassociated it w ith the Civil War. But I read some recent news concerning another flag, which disassociates the issue of slavery with the Civil War as well. A re-stored prc-Civil War Flag with the phrase Millions for defense, not a Cent for Tribute,' is now on display in the Confederate Relic Room at the South Carolina State Museum. A " Confederate Relic Room" is definitely the most appropriate location for the display of such a flag, because the phrase actually identifies the real reason for the Civil War! Alarmed by the "Tariff of Abomination" in 1828. VicePresident John C. Calhoun wrote, and the South Carolina legislature adopted the "South Carolina Exposition and Protest" deeming the tariff unconstitutional and unjust. South Carolina threatened to secede. causing the "Nullification Crisis." Some thirty years later. South Carolina saw the "handwriting on the wall," and did secede before the absurd Morrill Tariff Act of 1861 was even passed. After all. the tariffs of that day were designed to force the South to sell its cotton to northern manufactures at deflated prices, which simultaneously threw the nation's tax burden on the South! Now am I just" whistling Dixie?" (Pardon the pun.) Ask yourselves-when the South realized European nations would pay more for southern cotton, and sell manufactured goods to southerners for less, did the northern army raid southern plantations, liberate Negro slaves', and escort them to the north? Or blockade southern harbors from Virginia , all the way around Florida to Texas, attempting to eliminate all southem trade with Europe? You sec, European nations had abolished slavery . but European industrialists . who supposedly were willing to go to war in order to free the southern slaves, actually wanted those slaves in the southem cotton fields just as much as the southern planters did! And northern cotton mill laborers wanted southern slaves producing job security in the South, rater than competing \Vith them for jobs in the North! The politically motivated Emancipation Proclamation, designed to eliminate foreign intervention on behalf of the South, freed only the slaves in the South. The Underground Railroad stopped at the Canadian border-not the Mason-Dixon line! Fugitive slave laws were enforced in the North! For the sociopolitical effect, slave owners in the District of Columbia were monetarily compensated for freeing their slaves, but after the war started. The northern border states were allowed to practice slavery until the Thirteenth Amendment was passed-eight months after the war ended! A profound study of our nation's history proves that the Civil War was not about "cotton-raising slaves," but "slave raised cotton!" President Lincoln went down in history as the "Great Emancipator," when restoration of the Union, not abolition, was his self-admitted primary goal. The real "Great Emancipator" sacrificed his life over a century later attempting to to abolish "redefined" slavery in the Civil Rights Movement After all. didn't hid immortal "1 Have a Dream" speech end with the words-' Frec at Last?" Well, free from what? Erroneous verbal history's watered down. sugar-coated account of our nation's Civil War paints a picture of a benevolent North invading a cruel South to free Negro slaves. But since the Revolution w as over, does the phrase on an 1833 flag on displav in tlic Confederate Relic Room at South Carolina s State Museum expose "unjust tribute" as the real reason?
