If your youngsters are 10 to 16 years old, says Gaines, 81 and you meet certain in- ^ come criteria, he'll see that C1 they're picked up each morning, given breakfast and s' lunch, and receive supervis- s' ed instruction in seven ? sports as well as counseling in health and hygiene, drug n abuse, the use of alcohol s? and tobacco and current ? teen-age problems. Best of all, it's free. The n local program is part of the ^ National Youth Sports Pro- b gram, which provides a n constructive outlet for a disadvantaged youth. F NYSP is funded by the National Collegiate Athletic ? Association and the food is u provided by the U.S. Si Department of Agriculture. ^ But there's one hitch, e says Gaines: NYSP could use more support from the s< black community. n "Last year, we had 550 students in the program and our program is one of the " top 10 in. thn country," he P says* "but iCs. fiaidTta get. ft1 cuiftwunityusv~- a Physical exams' are re- d quired for all NYSP par- ^ ticipants, Gaines says. But, ^ because the program is a geared primarily to financially disadvantaged ^ children, many of them a can't afford physicals. d So, each spring, Gaines holds a free medical clinic s in the WSSU gym. a This year, the clinics will d be held on Saturday, May e lb, rrom v a.m. 10 i p.m., Saturday and Sunday, June c 2 and 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 1 p.m. and Saturday, June 9, s from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. b "We tried to get the s black doctors to volunteer ^ to come over here, but do you think they will come?" n Gaines says. "A few of the P old ones come every year, v but the young hungry ones a ,are too good to come over t( bere. These kids can't af- v ford a $35 physical." 8 A second hitch in getting c the nine-year-old program \ nT-I-1*"-'' Mfci gT y' *1 ^^gl ML* > - a . . ^iium 11^ feffr^.gaafc. / -'-v .**?*? - / hu h ja HBHttlk^ ' ^y ??3h ""Yk^HHH ount on hanging around ses ended last Sunday.

Segments of the community that provide more man their share of help for JYSP include the Experiment In Self-Reliance Inc. nd the Winston-Salem oundation. Pat Mumford, an utreach follow-up worker i FSR's Problem fVnter ays the advantages of JYSP should make verybody want to pitch in. "These kids need omewhere to go.

Both Attorney General Rufus Edmisten and former Charlotte Mayor Eddie Knox are hoping to be North Carolina's next governor. But in order to do so, one must be victorious in the June 5 runoff and win the general election in November. Meanwhile, both are busy gathering endorsements from former candidates.

Graves said candidates will be judged on three basic criteria: education, economic developemnt and the environment. The can didates will also be judged on their position on the death penalty and second primaries.... The two gubernatorial candidates also met with the Baptist Ministers Conference and Associates, with the group deciding at its regular Tuesday meeting not to endorse either candidate. Dr. Jerry Drayton, chairman of the group's Political Action Committee, said the membership was divided evenly between Edmisten and Knox and in an effort to keep group unity decided not to endorse either. other yeajT In other board action, the board agreed to lease Brown Elementary School, which became a surplus school under the reorganization plan, to Shilohian & St. Peters Inc.
