A Rewrite From Raleigh
News and Observer
In her 35 years with Ra
leigh public libraries, Mrs.
Moilie Huston Lee has been on
the move continually including
successive moves from a one
room segregated store front
on East Hargett Street to to
day's nearly block-long inte
grated facility located on New
Bern Ave.
"Since I have been in Ra
leigh, I have dedicated three
libraries," Mrs. Lee said, "But
I feel a library cannot stay
put. It has got to move out
and reach the people."
Speaking of the present li
brary, Mrs. Lee said, "This
Is not a black library. We have
a large segment of whites in
the Longview section by the
Wake Memorial Hospital. Our
programs are geared to serve
all the pqpple, but when we
feel the need is greatest for a
minority group program, we
will focus our attention
there."
One on-going Harrison pro
gram Mrs. Lee is most proud
of Is designed for the elderly.
It is called "Aging Without
Fear," and It is apparently
unique. Mrs. Lee's direction of
the program has won her invi
tations to the White House
Conference on Aging.
"I am Interested in older
people because the schooling
for so many of them . has
been limited," she said. "Ac
tivities like mounting pictures
give them something they can
do, and which we can Involve
them in here at the library."

and images for Black and other disadvantaged

more than 8,500 volumes, the
collection is regarded as the
finest in the Southeast.
The collection and Harri

scratch by Mrs. Lee in 1935.
"Black people in Raleigh did
not have a library when I
started down on East Hargett
Street," she said.
When city and county of
ficials saw her fund raising
efforts to equip and furnish a
library gain momentum, the
two governmental agencies be

first public library for blacks.
The library was named for
the noted black actor, Richard
B. Harrison, who taught drama
at what was then N. C. A.&T.

Seeing Is Believing
By DONALD LO VI
Under any circumstance,
seeing is believing and is also
a witness of whatever took
place.
In our courts, to be a wit
ness, your testimony will not
be accepted unless you were
an eye witneaa.
Ail through the Bible there
are unbelievable atoriea, and
if there had not been other*
to testify these things really
happened, we wouldn't believe
any of them.
The story about Lot's wife
who was turned into a pillar
of salt. The prophet Elijah
pouring all those barrels of
water in trenches, then praying
to God to rain down fire to
consume the water that
flooded the trenches. When
Moses laid his staff on the
ground, it was turned into a
serpent. The false prophets
also threw their staffs on the
ground and turned into ser
pents . Proving God was greater
than the devil, Moses' serpent
swallowed all the other ser
pents.
In the New Testiment,
Christ carried three of His
disciples to witness His trans
figuration. He carried these
same witnesses with Him into
the garden of Gethsemane to
pray. They were on hand when
Judas betrayed Him with a
kiss.
There are numerous inci
dents I'm not mentioning that
took place. I'm only trying
to get you to* see Christ
needed witnesses. He did
nothing unless He had others
to testify supporting the mira
cles.
Before the crucifixion of
Christ on His way to the
temple, there was a man blind
from birth. Christ gave him his
sight. His opponents did not
want to accept this act so
they made a scene. The man's
parents were questioned con-

3 Girls Named in Glamour Magazine's
Outstanding College Girls of 1971 Contest
NEW YORK, New York -
Lucretia Taylor, a Senior at
The Western College, Oxford
Ohio, has been selected as one
of "Glamour" Magazine's Ten
Outstanding College Girls of
1971. Lucretia is the daughter
of Mrs. Christine Pleas of At
lanta, Georgia.
Julia Huge*, a Junior at
Ripon ; College, Rlpon, Wiscon
sin and Sandra Simpson, a
Junior at Mount Holyoke Col
lege, South Hadley, Massachu
setts, were selected as two of
the seven Honorable Mention
Winners. Julia is the daughter
of Mrs. Pearletha Hugee, Wash
ington, D. C., and Sandra Is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Simpson, Chicago,
earning their blind ton. The
parent* were afraid, but loyal
to Chriat answered by adviaing
them to ask the aon. The
answer of the aon waa, "I
don't know who He was, but
this one thing I know, I once
was blind but now I see."
After the death, resurrec
tion and ascension, Christ
finally sent the Holy Ghost to
the disciples, and they were
able to do the things thek
Master and Lord did by means
of the Holy Ghost.
The multitudes were eye
witnesses of the miracles that
the apostles were able to do.
When Christ hung on the
cross. He prayed to His father
to forgive those who had a
hand in His treatment. Ste
phenson, one of the seven
deacons, prayed the very same
prayer Christ prayed as he was
being stoned • "Father, re
ceive my spirit and forgive
them for they know not what
they do."
St. Paul, who opposed the
spreading of Christianity, was
converted and his belief was
much stronger for Christianity
than it was against it.
It is required of us, es
pecially those of us who pos
sess Christianity, Uux>nfess
Christ before others. If we are
believers and followers of
Christ, we should tell it on
the mountain tops, in valleys,
to our closest friends and our
worst enemies.
When we live positive lives,
all we are doing is lifting
Jesus. Once -we lift Him by
our living, He will draw all
men unto Him.
I am sending out e request.
Wont somebody help me lift
Jesus? Preacher, won't you
help? Deacons, choirs, cho
ruses, ushers, and-aH of GodV
children wont you nelp me

Red Cross Warns Earlybirds of Wafer Dangers
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
For those aarlybird fishermen
a'nd boatmen who can hardly
wait for spring before they
head for the nation's water
ways, the American Red Cross
offers a few notes of caution.
"An accident in cold water
can easily prove fatal," warns
Robert M. Oswald, national
director of ARC safety pro
grams. "More fishermen
drown in May than in any
other month," he adds. He
attributes many of these
deaths to a person'! liability
to save himself in cold water .
Even an expert swimmer can
drown if his arms and legs
become numb.
"If you should suddenly
find yourself in cold water
from a fall or capsizing," says
Mr. Oswald, "do not try to re
move your clothing." Al
though rapid wetting decreases
the insulation, clothing weight
less underwater and will help
retain some body heat by re
ducing the flow of water over
your body surface. Clothing
can also hold and trip air
which will add to your natural
buoyancy. When swimming
with clothes on, all movement
of the arms and legs should be
inder water.
In rapids or water with a
strong current, swim with, or
at right angles to the current
to the nearest landing. In
rapids, try to go down feet
first on your back, using the
feet to fend off rocks, and
your arms and legs for direc
tional control. The current
will provide the propulsion.
The Red Cross normally ad
vises staying with a capsized
boat until help comes or the
boat can be pushed to share.
But in excessively cold water
or dangerous water, an lm-

mediate attempt should be
made to swim to safety. When
you know you are going to be
dose to cold water, whether
fishing or boating, a life pre
server should be worn even
if you are a good swimmer.
Recommended first aid
treatment for a victim taken
out of cold water is to warm
him up quickly in a hot bath
of 105 to 110 degrees fahren
heit. Hot water should be
added continuously to main
tain the temperature until the
body is warmed.
If this treatment is not
feasible, raise body tempera
ture by using blankets or extra
clothing and keeping the vic
tim in a cool room. Do not
