Hughes Mrs. Moilie Hu 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."

Mrs. Lee's direction of the program has won her invi tations to the White House Conference on Aging.

"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 gan their support of the area's first public library for blacks.

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- Personal Products Company Supports Black Business Venture in Atlanta ■ U B Wr V Through financial support for job training and a produc tion contract for women's sanitary belts, Personal Products Company is assisting in the development of a manufactur ing company in Atlanta, Georgia.

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 , lift Jesus? Illinois.

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- Local.

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 bring him into a warm room, 46 Nursing Students Receive Caps in Service af A&T Sfafe GREENSBORO - One of the largest second-year classes in recent years participated In the annual capping exercises at A&T State University last Sunday.
