Rankin asked every business and professional person across the state to contribute $100 to the institution. i They said, "As a private, non-profit, independent ' school, Durham College does not have any direct affi< liation with any state, federal or religious organization.

The one-day Fair will open at 9 a.m. at the Scott Pavilion on the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. "This fair has a lot to offer to both minority businesses and other private industries,"'said Governor Hunt. "It is a practical and reasonable way to expand the market for the products of minority businesses, and to open up com ? A mumcauons oerween minority enterprises and other industries. I hope industries of all types and sizes will take part 4ti the^irg^ ^ ~ ? r??? .?? _____ At the fair the buyers from major corporations will have booths to describe the products and services they need, so that minority vendors can identify potential markets.

Office of Minority Business Enterprise, (OMBE), will be on hand to explain financial assistanace criteria, contractual requirements and resources that small business owners can tap." The Trade Fair fs sponsored by the North Carolina Association of Regional Minority Purchasing Councils. The three councils have a combined membership of over 250 purchasing agents that represent some 200 "Fortune 500" corporations. In 1977 the three councils generated over $22 million in contracts with minoritv businesses. * * DURHAM?More than 65 individuals and representatives of anti-nuclear organizations met here Saturday and Sunday, August 12 and 13, to discuss issues and strategies involved in opposing the development of nuclear power in North Carolina. "The proliferation of nuclear power is not inevitable, as the utilities would have us believe," said conference organizer Amy Arrendell of the Kudzu Alliance. "This gathering shows the increased resistance to CP&L's and Duke's plans for more nuclear power plants, and the forceful drive to replace nuclear power plants with safer and more economical alternatives. It is our hope that this conference will be a first step in increased coordination I ! - - a* 1 ? ? ana communication among ine rapidly growing antinuclear groups in North Carolina." Group representatives shared their plans for upcoming events this fall - such as opposition to the NRC operating permit for the McGuire nuclear reactor Duke Power is building near Charlotte, and plans for a demonstration at the Sept. 6 utilities commission hearing on conservation, urging the commission to take strong steps to implement readily available conservation techniques instead of plans for nuclear power plants. The conference was sponsored by the Kudzu Alliance, the Sierra Club, the Conservation Council of North Carolina, and Chapel Hill ECOS. It was held at the Carolina Friends School. o t v 'V . .? ^ ^ -^V X \ k? 1MS2 Neal Res[ Fifth District Rep.

"I believe, for instanace. .that inflation is color-blind and that a balanced budget and a healthy economy are just as beneficial to blacks as to whites," said Neal. The Democratic candidate listed bills he supported for four of the issues mentioned in the editorial. For structural mant, Neal listed voteo fop full employment bill; and the Youth Employment and Neal said he supported the emergency Middle Income Housing Act and the Young Families Housing Act of 1977.

"In fact the tax cuts are so insignificant, that the average middle class family of four in the Fifth , District making $20,000 a year will pay 59 more next year and $115 more in 1980. That's not tax relief - its a fraud. Still Mr. Neal continues to crow about how much he does for the taxpayer," Horton said. Horton pointed to the Kemp-Roth tax cut bill as providing-real relief for taxpayers at every level of in come. This proposal, which would cut most taxes by a third, was defeated during consideration of the tax relief package. Congressman Neal voted against it. " Under the^kcmg Rolfe -proposal, which I support fully, the average middle class family of four would have saved,$138 in taxes next year and $621 by-1981. / > FACTORY AUTHORIZED - : SAIES AND SERVICE - HOOVER & EUREKA Bring it in today. get it back tomorrow ' Let us make your cleaner work like new and last longer.
