Hints For
Handy Homeowners
Don't mutter about clut
ter. Cut it down to size by ,
building cabinet and
(helves with the help of a
table saw.
A multi-purpose wood
working machine, a table
saw can even help you add a
den or more closet space.
With a top-quality table
law, you can make accurate
bevel, miter; and compound-miter
cuts. It will
also allow you to rip to the
center of a 4" x 8" sheet,
Most popular with do-it-yourselfers
is the 10-inch
table saw because it pro
vides the capacity to cut up
to 314" deep at 90 degrees
and up to 2 18" at 45
degrees.
Here are some additional
features you should look for
when shopping for a good
table saw: self-aligning rip'
fence that locks front and
rear for greater accuracy,
staled ball-bearing construe-'
tUn, a high torque thermal
overload protected motor,
en-thru blade guard with
spUtter and anti-kickback
attachment, and convenient
up-front operating controls,
will a locked up oil special
safety switch to prevent ac
cidental start-up.
One quality table saw
combining all these features
is llockwell's 10" Homecraft

M. Alexander, Sr.,
veteran president, of the
North Carolina NAACP,
announced Monday that
the 36th annual conven
tion of the N.C. NAACP
will convene . In
Greensboro, November
.8-11.
The theme of the con-.
vention is: "NAACP
Priorities in a Time of
Economic Crisis."
The convention head
quarters will be the
Golden Eagle Motor Inn.
Alexander said the con
vention program will pro
vide, through workshops,
discussions and ' expert .
presentations, informa
tion and guidance for state
NAACP branches in the
implementation of policy
and programs.
Alexander "said that a
vigorous and aggressive
action program for the :
80's will be launched to '
create a state-wide impact
and sensitivity to the pro
blems affecting the black
population, disadvantag
ed and the poor. A
guideline for action will be
based on the Association's
policy for the ensuing
year, chiefly by means of
the resolutions which were
adopted at the 70th An
nual Convention held in
Louisville, Ky., in June of
this year.
Ms.' Althca T.L. Sim
mons, director,

nation.
Lake implied that ad
vances won through black
protests during the six
ties in the areas of
unemployment and educa
tionbe removed from
government involvement.
He also advocates cutting
back on government
employees.
'Like most North
Carolinians, I support less
government and more per
sonal responsibility,"
Lake said.
Race Not An Issue
Lake said "Race is not
going to be an issue in this
campaign and we're not
going back twenty years
ago when it might have
been." He said segrega
tion was "not the intent
and purpose of those bills
(legislation pertaining to
segregation academies)
because the majority of
those public schools are
integrated. As far as I am
concerned, race is not an
issue in this campaign and
will not be an issue in this
campaign."
When asked if blacks
would be included at all
levels of the campaign,
Lake responded, "I cer
tainly hope so, absolute
ly". He said that he had
already sought black sup
port. . ' . .' , "
Dr. Larnie Horton, one
of three blacks present at
the Raleigh announcement
defended Lake's
philosophy saying, ."I
don't think that he has a
racist philosophy". Hor
ton said he believes
"individuals have a right
to send their kid; to
private schools as an alter
native to public schools."
Warren , County
; Republican Party Chair-'
man John , Hawkins,
another ' black present,
said he didn't agree with
Lake's i philosophy
"totally'?. "I can't buy
that, not totally,"
Hawkins said of his stand
on removal ot private
academies from state con
trol. "I think private
schools have a place in our
educational system, on
special terms only, I don't
think that private schools
should take the turn' that
they take here in North
Carolina. I Just can't buy
that all the way."
'The younger Lake has
compiled one of the most
conservative . voting
records in his two terms in
the state Senate. He said ,
that "because of com
mitments on 1 pending
legislation, he would not
resign from the Senate un
til after the next session.

TENANTS TO FIGHT
RENT HIKE
WASHINGTON oj
me 800 delegates to the anJ
nual conference of the Na
tional Tenants Organiza-j
tion (NTO) last week
blasted the Carter Ad
ministration for cutting
funds for low-cost hous
ing and demanded a sharp
increase in funds to pro
vide adequate housing and
utilities at rates the people
can afford to pay.
The NTO meeting at the
Shoreham Americana
Hotel drew busloads of
tenants from throughout
the country, including
representatives from
Durham.
A top priority of the
conference was mobilizing
to oppose the efforts of
Sen. William Proxmire
(D-Wis.), to raise from 25
to 30 per cent the portion
of a tenant's income
which can be charged for
rent in public housing.
Jesse Gray, NTO na
tional chairman, criticized :
the Carter administration
and Congress for
threatening to force poor
people "to decide between
heat this winter and
food." Gray said, "We
aren't going to make that
choice because we want
both. The central theme of
this conference is that we
want a government
takeover of the oil com-
Eanies to . guarantee
eating oil and rent at
prices the poor can afford
to pay." Gray said NTO
will support a bill by Rep.
Parren J. Mitchell
(D-Md.), to set up a
Presidential commission
for -,4hi . m&y , of
"nationalizing the oil in
dustry." "The government just
doesn't build housing any
more as it used to," Gray
contended, ?'md poor
people who are out of
public housing can't af
ford to pay their rent and
utility bills, too. Even in
existing public housing, it
is getting worse with Con
gress trying to get rid of
the Brooke Amendment."

Creativity NCCU Professor
- Origami-the: Japanese
art of paperfolding- is an:
art form requiring no tools
and no materials beyond a
sheet of paper. DrElinorT.
Massoglia,: .professor of,,
education at North Carolina
Central University, believes
Japanes raperfoldhig'iran'
ideal method for giving a
child his or her first oppor
tunities at creativity.
"I have found that ori
gami, Japanese paperfold
ing, can reach people of all
ages, " energizing untapped
wells of creative power.
Anyone can do origami. No
tools are required. There is
no language barrier. There
are no I.Q. requirements.
Only patience and persis
tence are . needed," Dr.
Massoglia says.
Dr. Massoglia will
teach Japanese paperfolding
' to teachers of young child
ren during the 1979 confer
ence of the North Carolina
Association for the Educa
tion of Young Children,
this week, October 11-13,
in Winston-Salem. Her
workshop, "Releasing Cre
ative Potential Through
Japanese Paperfolding," will
be conducted Friday morn
ing and Friday, afternoon,
October 12.
The NCCU professor,
who improved her skill in
the art of origami while
in Japana with her mili
tary husband, has taught
the skills to young children,
university students, school
teachers, and the elderly.
In addition to learning
the paperfolding art, her
learned!'
them
'students' have
something about
: "Most people have a far
jgreater creative potential
than they realize. These un
tapped creative powers are
never used because they are
unrealized. Often a person
has never thought of him
self as creative and is thus
inhibited from even trying
to explore what he or she
1 can do," Dr. Massoglia says.
She explains the pro
cess. '.
The young child who
starts with traditional ori
gami (directed) soon moves
into creative art."
Dr. Massoglia says the j
child may start with a
simple folded paper boat.
"Pivotal questions lead
him on: What can you do
with your boat? How can
, you share it with others?
The child may mount his
boat, add , scenery, put a
fisherman on the boat One
idea leads to another until
he is fairly bursting to tell
about his work of art. And,
oh, how good he feels about
.himself!"
! It isn't the young child
'alone who can get excited
by his experience with ori
gami. Dr. Massoglia recent
'ly wrote an article for the
magazine Mature Living,
published for senior
citizens.
From Cary, an 83-year-old
woman wrote to ask
for a copy of Dr. Massoglia's
children's book on origami.
She wanted to teach it to
two children she was tutor-
mg, one of them handi-
capped.
Another woman wrote
fron'-South Carolina,1 also .
asking for the book. "I am '
) wanting to make Chrfstmas
1 tree ornaments, decorations,
I and greeting cards."
The book "Funtime '
Paper Folding," was
published by Children's '
Press of Chicago to 1959,
Dr. Massoglia has, used
origami as a storytelling
device, one of its tradition
al uses in Japan. "During
the past two years, I have
told , origami stories to
hundreds of children at the
Storytelling Festival in
Raleigh. I have visited class
rooms and have given work
shops to teachers . and
librarians who wish to in
clude origami among their
teaching strategies."
Perhaps her greatest
pleasure with origami was
found with her own child-,
ren. "Origami is a family
affair in Japan. It was one
in our family, too; My
husband and I spent many
evenings enjoying the art
with our six children. One
year we decorated . with
paper-folded birds a Christ
mas tree in a hospital ward,
the children went one-step
further and made birds with
flapping wings as dinner
hay gifts for'patients.
"When T was aJCub

scouts created origami
models for the Blue.. and
Gold Dinner. table decora-,

my four sons won a first
