Home, Henderson, North Caro
lina. ,-$h daughter of the late
Thornton EUis Cannady and
Mattie McGhee Cannady, she
was born and reared in Oxford,
North Carolina, at the Home

She received her A.B. de

many years of her life were

Child Library
Specialists Go
Into Community
North Carolina Central
University's Early Childhood
Library Specialist Program
has moved out of the cloister
ed -campus and into the Dur
ham community : , V ' ! . t
For Durham youngsters un
der school age, that means
they'll have the chance to
play with the toys whose use
in the program has attracted
mi mm ii jjudiji auenuon.
A $20,000 grant from Xerox
Corporation is being used in
part to establish an Early
Childhood Collection at Dur
ham's Stanford Warren Libra
ry. Most of the collection
consist of toys and similar
materials.
"Durham already has good
toy stores," says Mrs. Tom
mie Young, director of the
program. The center at Stan
ford Warren, like the center
in the James E. Shepard Li
brary, is something more
than a toy store. Mrs. Young
doesn't object, however, to
the term "toy-brary," which
combines toy and library in
one word.
"Toys have been the most
important learning medium
for young children since his
tory began," said Mrs. Young.
She said archaeologists, find,
toys in excavations through?
out the world.
The focus on learning does
not mean imposing restric
tions on children's play. But
it does require that the per
sons who work with pro
grams like the Toy-brary
know what the toys mean to
children. They need to know
how the child develops, and
how toys and play help him
develop.
Some of the toys and other
materials in the collection at
Stanford Warren will remain
there. Others will be loaned
to programs throughout the
city.
For example, two of the
graduate students in the
Early Childhood Library pro
gram will be working this
spring at the Walltown Com
munity Center. Mrs. Evelyn
Toole and Miss Carolyn King
will have access to the Stan
fjf$ Wjajnran collection for
their program.
It isn't the toys even when
they're described instead as
non-traditional media that
are the important part of the
BgtpBjn, Mrs. Young said.
Instead, the important part is
flhl child's use of and invol
vement with the toys.

The London Hail published
the following notice found
posted on a church door in
Whitechurch, England, many,
many moons ago: .
"Missing": Last Sunday,
some families from church.
''Stolen": Several hours
from the Lord's Day, by num
ber of people of all ages
dressed in their Sunday
clothes. f"'r
"Strayed": Half a score
of Lambs, believed to have
gone in the direction of "No
Sunday School"
"Wanted": Several young
people. When last seen were
walking in pairs up Sabbath
Breakers' Lane, which leads
to the City of No 'Good.
"Lost": A lad, carefully
reared, not long from home,
and for a time promising.
Supposed to have gone with
one. or two companion's to
Prodigal Town. Hush Lane.
"Found!" The chairman of
the Union Baptist Hospitality
Committee, Mrs. Pauline Box
ley, exclaimed when she
found the record of a long
list of visitors during the
First Quajrter of '73.
The influx of visitors at
tending the 11 o'clock serv
ices can be attributed to a
number of reasons. Natural
ly, the beautiful, charming,
personable ladies of the Hos
pitality Committee: Mmes
Boxley, H. P. Partin, Annie
E. Daniels, Elaine Pratt,
Margaret Cameron contribute
largely to the interest of the
"Stranger Within thy Gates."
On the other hand, Dr.
Grady D,. Davis might easily
be the magnet. There could
be a great deal more solace,
than we suspect, in the words
of his motto: "At Union Bap
tist Church, Everybody is
Somebody." Who knows, real
ly, what lurk within the
hearts and minds of the Sun
day Visitor?
Too, the choirs may be the
central attraction; each, one,
of the nine singing groups,
does have a toliowmg.
Where lies the secret of
the Sunday Visitors' attrac
tion is of no deep, seated
concern, -i ltheieicetly
personal, purely instigated by
curiousity; seekers of a home
church or in search of a bet
ter swap; or just passing the
time between breakfast and
dinner the Hospitality Com
mittee is happy to have serv
ed the Sunday Visitor during
the '78 Winter Quarter and
prayerfully hope to serve with
these and a multitude of oth
er Sunday Visitors during the
Spring Quarter. Welcome

Metcalfe, Diggs
iProfesf U. S. in
African Games
WASHINGTON - Led by
protests from U.S. Congress
men Ralph Metcalfe and Char
les Diggs, the Amateur Ath
letic Association has held up
approval of 5 white athletes
to go to South Africa for tha t
country's Open Games sche
duled April 7 in Pretoria.
Metcalfe, a former Olumpic
gold medalist in track and field,
and Diggs, chairman of the U.
S. Subcommittee of African
Affairs, told the A All in strongly-worded
telegrams that they
should reject the request of the
five athletes in view of South
African's apartheid policy.
According to the American
atheletes to boycott the meet,
some 16 U. S. athletes have
been Invited to the games. The
five athletes, all members of
the Pacific Coast Club of Long
Beach, Calif., asked the AAU
for permission to participate
in the meet.
This individual approval is
generally considered routine,
but because of the politics of
the South African government,
this has been held up until the
committee can decide.
T 1
AAU rules, though prohib
iting any teams from going to
South Africa, so permit indivi
dual athletes to ask for permis
sion to compete there. But
many of the AAU leaders are
blacks who h ave strong ties
with the apartheid policies of
the South African government.
Blacks have consistently oppo
sed the international status of
South Africa.
If the AAU permits the five
athletes to attend the meet,
they would in effect be recog
nizing the South African Open
Games. The Supreme Council
for Sport in Africa, which most
black African nations belong
to, has already condemmed the
South African games, and the
AAU would be treading on
serious political eggs if it ap
proved the meet.
, , South African officials ha ve
steadfastly maintained that the
games will be multi-racial with
blacks competing against whites.
They say all athletes from
South Africa and overseas will
be housed in what are consid
ered all-white hotels and blacks
and whites will compete against
each other as well.
But the crowd will be segre
gated in their seating, the gov
ernment admitted.
Only 77 of the 500 athletes
from 22 countries have accep
ted the invitation thus far,
to compete in the games, but
officials in South Africa say
that figure will rise substan
tially shortly before the games
open.

R. Corson, has reported that

I want to encourage as
many Brothers and Sisters as
possible to plan to visit the
African Film Festival at the
NCCU Student Union on Tues
day, April 3, beginning at
7:30 p.m. with an African fas
hion show. The film ALUTA
CONTTNUA wiU be shown at
8:15 with an open discussion
to follow. There will also be
a slide show on Angola at 10.
I strongly recommend that
you see the film which is trans
lated, "The Struggle Conti
nues." It clearly depicts in
color the struggle that our Bro
thers are waging on the conti
nent or the "Mother Country."
What is more important it
highlights the role that this
country is playing in creating
problems for Black people
around the world.
It Is most important that
we understand that our op
pression here in this country
Is by no means unique. We
must see the relationship be
tween Hitler Nixon's domestic
programs and his policies a-'
broad. We must also under
stand the role that big business
plays in worlds oppression. It
is not enough to complain
about the destruction of OEO
unless we understand the de
struction of Mozambique. It
is not enough to understand
the battle at Wounded Knee
unless we understand the bat
tles in South Africa.
Today the world is smaller
than ever before. There is
nowhere to run, nowhere to
hide. White america is about
to try to make this continent,
this globe, indeed this world,
one un-at plantation under
Europena domination. What
will you do about it. Well,
first you must understand.
Please visit the Festival. You
will learn something.
I told you the Rt. Rev.
Dr. William Claire Turner, Jr.
Esquire, was gonna get mar
ried. May I be the first to
wish my brother happiness and
success. This a root of Black
Love.

THE HISTORY
OF BLACK
IN MEDALS
NCCU Receives the History of
Black Americans in Medals
The Dow Chemical Com
pany has presented to the
NCCU Library a gift of 18
Silver Medallions which depicts
the history of Black Ameri
cans. Medallions show Black
Americans from the Colonial
Past through the 19th Century
and then on to Roaring twen
tieth Century.
Actually, people of African
descent have been called Amer
ica's oldest minority. How
ever, until recently American
history books referred only to
slavery and have virtually ig
nored the continuous contri
butions of Black Americans
since the date of Exploration.
Black Americans whether
bom free men or slaves, have
distinguished themselves in all
fields of study or endeavor.
These medallions have been
used to depict areas of black
history from colonial past up
through the rapidly dwindling
twentieth century.
. The public will be welcome
to view these Medallions that
are on display in the Univer
sity Library area.

Miss Madie's profound cor
cem for the mantle of he
sister-in-law's despondecy, he:
great misery, the source oi
her awful dilemma to fall upor.
stronger shoulders, dulled hei
senses to other things around
her.
The Kaypots had been paln
ning to sell the twenty-two
room, brick and stone man
sion they lived in and move in
to a suite of rooms in Bay bor
ough's finest Hotels hotel
Kaypot. However, Miss Madie
had closed her ears and eye
to what was happening, there
fore, she was taken completely
by surprise when she reported
to work one morning and was
forced to crawl over crates and
boxes to reach the green car
peted stairway.
The cook, downstairs maid
and Bill, the chauffer for the
Kaypot ladies, had apparently
spent most of the night "pack
ing up getting ready to go."
Miss Madie remarked to her
self, that,' the way the cook
and downstairs ma id was "twi
sting and putting on airs," they
must have packsd most of John
Kaypot's liquor inside their bel
lies. Mary the cook, was tipping
around, grinning to beat the
band and calling Bill, "dream
boat." Miss Madie decided that
a "nightmare" was a better des
cription. Bill wasn't ugly nor
was he good-looking; he was
"twixt 'n t ween." He reminded
her of her mother's cakes that
"fell" when the stove door
was slammed. Her mother had
called the sad cakes, "sweeten
bread." And to simplify mat
ters, Miss Madie decided to go
along with Mary and just say
Bill was a "dream boat."
Lean, tne downstairs maia
was chewing gum and singing:
"every time I feel the spirit."
Miss Madie didn't say so, in so
many words, but she gave out
a hint that John Kaypot's jum-my-iohn.
hanging in his closet,
looked better full of the spirit
than Leah.
The groggy trio wanted to
let Miss Madie have it between
the eyes with their fists, but
she told them to start with
that she would play dog and
tree stump with one or the
whole pack if they tried any
thing besides a prayer meeting
with, her. This affirmation ac
tually took some of the fire
out of their tempers and Miss
Madie was free to talk over old
times the the grand-dame of
Kaypot elan. Mrs. Savannah
Kaypot was John Kaypot's mo
ther. A contankerous old lady
with steel-blue eyes, jutting-r-chin,
a mouth with thin, stern
lips; her long silvery hair was
brushed away from her narrow
furrowed forehead and folded
into a huge bun atop her
head.
Miss Madie had fawned for
won the septuageniarian's favor
ng years ago. The old girl
!S'.UhI to Miss Madie that
Negvoes are lazy, big liars and
not too trustworthy ; "but you
are one of a kind Madie Perkins:
smart, truthful and too honest
for your own good." The old
lady had served as president
of Kaypot's Textile Industries
for a quarter of a century. Five
years ago, she had been forced
into retirement when she slip
ped on ice and broke her hip.
Madie Perkins didn't care a
hoot about nursing the tiny
cranky old lady with a forked
tongue that was always spurt
ing pithy statements. But, when
you got a chance to reason out

In closets stuffed of old
clothes
I seek to find a costume.
One designed for s character
In a play, in which I star.
The problem lies in knowing
Who or what the character
For the writer did not make
clear
In words, the demands re
quired. So, I prowl this dark store
room Trying on guises of vague
conceptions.
A face of smiling indiffer
ence apparitioned,
Leaving obsequious reactions,
displacing visionary truths,
Bowed abjectly, spending un
til it cracked,
A fragrant falling beside an
other carving
Robust, devil-may-care, able
to conquer the world.
Yet, when I picked it up, I
saw its flaws
Desparing tension lines
around the eyes
Unmasking dejection, blinked
unflinchingly,
Effusing tears of distraught
futility.
Which mask shall I assume?

Sweet morning angel,
Come to me.
Stare across my mind
With your mysterious dark
eyes.
Fill me with sparkling sea.
Smiling wind-chill,,
Your gentle breezes
Whisper to me
In the lazy language of love,
Subtle invitations to delicate
fun.
Deep into the mystic night
1 of etiohy eyes,
Nector drips from the moon,
Ambrosia drifts across the
heavens
With celestrial grace . . .
I drown in the essence of
your being.
Quiet hours melt into float
ing ecstasy,
Eros is lord of the moment.

Who is that horrible person?
Where did she come from?

A WISE IDEA CONCERNING
MEDICATION
PflLUAM raotttEaesggesa..

Any pharmacist will tell
you: "When a physician pre
scribes for a patient, the
prescription is tailor-made
for that particular person,
and the medicine is a speci
fic for the condition that is
causing his symptoms at that
exact time.
That is very important be
cause people that share their
prescription with their rela
tives and friends are taking
a large risk. What helped
one presort although they
may appear to be suffering
from the same symptom, may
be dangerous to another, and
can cause tragedy. Not only
that, hut is violating the Fed
eral Law.
Take a look on a prescrip
tion bottle that has boon
filled, and you will see:
"Caution: Federal Law pro
hibits the transfer of Oris
drug to any person other than
the patient for whom It was
prescribed."
I mentioned that because,
I've heard people tell about
how different medications
helped them and offer some
of their prescription to some
one that's suffering with the
same pain.
Snm. falln trv to nrescribe
medications to other people
during s telephone conversa
tion, telling how good car
tain drugs are, and how they
got quick relief.
Many people have asked me
wh' rood for headache,
upset stomach, and etc. I ad
vise all of them to check with
a physician first, before they
began doctoring on them
selves. (A wise idea).
Yes, if s a wise idea. I could
easily tell them about all the
patent medicines that we see
advertisd on the television
and that can be bought in
stores. But to stay on the
safe side, a person must use
his mind and think.
Examples: When you need
legal advice, you consult an
attorney. If you plan to build
a home, it is likely that you
will seek the help of an ar
chitect Doesn't it make sense,
then, when it comes to the
question of your most preci
ous asset, your health, to con
sult your physician?
People that share or pre
scribe medications should try
to help an individual the safe
way by recommending them
to a doctor rather than fo
cusing their mind on the do
it yourself method.
Finally. I believe a parson
should think wisely when na
ture gives its warning of a
symptom, and consult a phy
sician first, because be is
more qualified than anybody
else when it comes to dealing
with your health and medi
cation. Peking welcomes signing
