The Chronicle - Saturday, July 16, 1978 - Page 5 African Spotlight President’s Trip to Nigeria \fter President Car- historic visit to reria, his major poli- pronouncements on 4i§ica, upon reflection lear to have raised re questions, accor- gto some Nigerians, n they attempted to In wer. lai 0 his Nigerian major icy address, the Pre- jnt re-iterated the itt erican commitment process of peaceful r ■nge in the white- ti id territories in sou- n rn Africa. He also ed for an end to itary intervention by side powers in Afri- disputes. It is he ed by some Niger- that President Car- shouid be commen- for proclaiming his , ntry’s commitment majority rule and ividual human its in southern Afri- But by seeking to ieve these through a iual peaceful ais, he almost for- h got that Africans under the white regimes are men in a hurry who wfll not choose a longer course to their destina tion. Colonialism by its very nature breeds vio lence, while de-coloni zation is inevitably a violent process. This is true wherever colonia lism gave way to gen uine independence as in Angola, Mozam bique, Algeria, India, Kenya, and several other examples. Even where colonial adminis tration initially trans ferred power peacefully to the people, it has often been a case of postponing the evil day because the seeds of dissension have fre quently erupted by way of post-independent conflicts and civil wars as in Nigeria, the for mer Congo, Sudan, among others. So there is nothing like peaceful change from colonial white-rule and comination to gen uine independence and black rule. The process of achieving majority rule and freedom from colonialism involves struggle and the result achieved is not mere political independence but national liberation. Even President Carter himself alluded to this inevitable process when he observed in his address that noth ing could make him doubt that the African continent would win its “struggle for free dom,” and at another point he .talked of the continent enjoying the liberation ’ that could come to those who es chew racial division and injustice. It should be made very clear that the colo nial struggle for free dom and the liberation that results from it is simply anti- ethical to any nation of peaceful change. The fight for freedom can not co-exist with yearn ing for peaceful change, and the United States that took an ex emplary step to violent ly overthrow the British colonialism in 1776 should not be the best preacher on the merits of peaceful change from colonialism. Vision 'f*' By Naomi C. McLean Business Writer If there is one charac teristic that marks the outstanding business man or woman, it is the quality of vision. JThat vision is based on genuine interest in and enthusiasm for employees who, year by year, come imder the in fluence of the business manager or employer. Please pardon personal reference, but this ivriter recalls how much she learned from her students — how they provided a constant stimulus for bet ter teaching - how then- eager minds and spirits responded to guidance and direction. There are times, of course, when we meet with disappointments, to the teacher, teaching seems but drudgery, to the business employer, business almost a failure, to the minister, members not cooperative, and the response from students, employees and chinch members we had hoped to get, whatever the case may be, you are learning at a slow pace. (People in general, at one time or another become per verse). When such times come, we should “lift our heads and stand erect, by visions led, “remembering the classroom, the business and the church can only be what the teacher, busi ness employer and minis ter does to keep things together. If either allows himself to become down cast by ‘ ‘the petty round, the humble sphere,” he loses that inner satisfac tion. You are a Bearer of Light. Every day and Sun day you light candles which bring some rays into the darkness of mind and spirit. Let us there fore, whatever position we hold, cultivate vision, knowing that ‘ ‘where there is no vision, people perish.” the tUtHMUIIIIIIIIIMIIilMlillllllllllHIininHIIl VETERANS START EARNING MORE IN THE ARMY RESERVE.

In addressing the com mittee, Corpening said that he wanted the women to ‘‘contact every wo men’s organization in Winston-Salem, go over with them what we’re trying to do and pin it down so that every person will have an input.” LaDonna Hopkins, pre sident of the Winston-Sa lem/Forsyth County Council on the Status of Women and a member of the committee told Cor pening that she felt that WOW was a conflict of interest with the Status of Women. ‘‘The concern I am rai sing is the hope that we as the Women of Winston Committee will not dupli cate the services of the council, which has already been established by the city,” Hopkins stated. Corpening said that he did not feel that WOW was a conflict of interest with the Status of Women. ‘ ‘The concern I am rai sing is the hope that we as the Women of Winston Committee wiU not dupli cate the services of the council, which has already been established by the city,” Hopkins stated. Corpening said that he did not feel that WOW was in conflict with the Status of Women or any club. ‘‘People are trying to read something into it,” Corpening said. “We’re trying to make downtown as .efficient as we can and we’re just trying to get some good ideas.” The Council on the Sta tus of Women, was start ed in 1971 by Mayor Franklin Shirley. Since□ 1975, the city of Winston- Salem has financially sup ported one-half of the Council’s budget. Other companies con cerning the committee has been levied at the com mittee members them selves. Many of the wo men seem to have been chosen, based on the achievements of their hus bands. The committee mem bers include the wife of the president of Salem College and the wife of the Chancellor of Winston-Sa lem State University, the wife of Alderman Eugene Groce, the wife of Corpen ing’s former campaign manager and the wife of the Chairman of the Hu man Relations Commit tee, Kelly Goodwin. The Mayor has promised to add more qualified women to serve. Dear Sir: On a previous letter, your editing pretty well destroyed my intent. I respect your right as Edi tor to cut, delete, con dense or whatever, and I appreciate the opportunity you provide for readers to express their views. But I do feel the need to write one more time to try to clarify what was and was not said last week. The points I was trying to make are these □ (1) While ridiculing the Busi ness Action League and the community develop ment dreams of Mr. John ny X WilUamson, the local press, through its influ^ ence on public opinion, contributed to the defeat MiiMiiMtiiMliiiiiiiiniiiiniiiininiiiiiiiiiliii of his proposal for finan cing. (2) There really is good sound reason behind these dreams and their potential for fruition is good. (3) Any of his and other dreams for economic development in depressed areas stand a good chance of strong federal grant support through the GDC program, (4) Millions of dollars for development of jobs and feasible business enterprises can be raised in tWs way. (5) The key that can- raise these dreams to meaningful, productive projects — is community support, in volvement and coopera tion. Now that the League has regrouped and has come back for help from the community again, i hope a more open-mind ed, truth-seeking atmos phere will be encoun tered. Thanks again, Le Roy Meek Board Member Business Action League 11= The first motion picture copyrighted in the U.S. was of a man sneezing. The year was 1894.
