My daughter prescribed this paper for me to be closer to home with the news. I feel* so sad that Mr. Wiseman can't get recognition from more "Blacks" for support to operate Staley's Restaurant in the Northside shopping Center. I feel that he desires the chance to operate at this site. I'm looking forward for more Ria^lP ? --- ? V a%* v i\ support of out fellow man. ~ Thanking Mr. Issac Carree II, Mr. Charles T. Byrd, and Mr. Ernest H. Pitt to encourage and write more of how our Blacks are still treated in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Thank you, Dear Editor: The Concerned Citizens (on the front line) would like to express their sincere thanks to all of the concerned citizens who cooperated so beautifully doing the "people's" boycott of Northside Shopping Center. Your action and support confirmed our belief that citizens will rally to a just cause. Our victory was the dawn of a. new day, and with your . continuing support we will destroy all barriers of prejudice and racism that are preventing the elimination of discriminatory practices, direct and indirect, which now exist. Our initial thurst will be directed toward, but not limited to developing greater job opportunities and encouraging companies to develop CHRONICLE TELL WI SUBSCRI r i r _j ?

We would like to bring to your attention the vfery urgent need of a new recreation center, in our -comminrityr It?is not?a situation where we want a new center simply because other communities have one, it is a situation where it has become a necessity. The old center < just cannot accommodate the overflow of children that come j tn the center. An example of our situation j would be the problem at hand now. We have four basketball teams. We Jhave no where to < practiceyWe have had to get 1 transportation to other gyms i in order to practice. And 1 because of the lack of a gym a you often see small kids outside playing basketball in the cold. Now, as concerned resi- j dents and parents we have to send our kids to a place where they can go anH stay out of trouble. Now don't you as parents want the same for ,your kids, as we want for ours? All we are asking is that you provide us with a facility for our kids to go to and enjoy. We would like very much -for-somconc to come and talk See Letters, Page 6 ! READERsl iY THEY I BE; 1 Da f>h n vy J<?f f ri<-* ^ 3-9863 I ) To Be Equal by \ei 't Carter' President Jimmy Garter enters office with the solid backing of tjhe American _ people, as measured not only by the election results but also by recent polls. And that backing is largely predicted on the expectation^jthat he will actively take stpps to introduce important retorms. A recent Newsweek poll, for example, shows that 60* percent of resnonHentc havp ^ _ ? ^ 1>U T V U more favorable opinion of President Carter than they did last November, and only ten percent thought less of him. Aty'the same time, 76 percent expect him to introduce a tax reform bill this year, 69 percent expect a reduction in' unemployment this year, and 54 percent expect him to introduce a national health insurance bill in 1977. Another public opinion survey, this time from Washington-based Potomac Associates suggests that much 3f the public's backing for then President-elect Carter ivas due to expectations that he would take risks and be an ictivist.

So Jimmy Carter enters the Presidency basking in more than the asu^ honeymoor period all new Presidents enjoy; he entrVs it with ihc good feeling and support oi the citizenry based on theii expectations of his leadership and his commitment tc change. t And that explains some oi the disappointment in the economic package he has proposed. It's a grab-hag lax cuts, taxrebates and some job-creation programs. Despite the expectations of reform programs within the coming months, his Administration indicates that welfare and health insurance reforms will have to wait for an improved fiscal situation. But at the same time taxes ? the resources needed for the reforms -- will be reduced. I don't think a tax cut is called for at a time when the budget deficit is so large and the needs for federal oro K grams are so great. A tax cut ^is_ not nearly as effective a* m vre Kn 1 DESIAM RHETC J' f - Saturday Feb. 5, 1977 - Page 5 For ActivisrH^ f joD-creanon programs inK stimulating the economy.
