Federal housing is call DALLAS, Texas - A 14-month investigation by The Dallas Morning News of the nation's 66,000 federally subsidized rental housing projects has found a pervasive pattern of government-sponsored iauai segregation ana inequity.

The bank also said it would not sell South Africanissued Krugerrand gold coins. "At a time when Americans of all political per-? suasions are protesting the evils of apartheid, it is especially important that one of the nation's premier banking institutions has made a public commitment," said Dr. Audrey Smock, world issues secretary with the United Church Board for World Ministries.

RANKIN Chronicle Staff Writer Q: 1 am a 66-year-old retiree on a fixed income. 1 have worked hard all of my life and I am afraid of losing what I have. Once I have made my house payment and bought food, I don't have enough money to pay my electric bill. I work odd jobs to add to my income. But with the recent cold weather, I still can't afford to pay my electric bill. I've worked hard for my house and I don't want to lose it. Is there any arrangement 1 can make with Duke Power to pay my bill in installments or is there any nthf?r mpanc r\f ? iiivuiu oo3i}ian^c ' A: Ben Sink, credit supervisor for Duke Power in Winston Salem, said there are several organizations that will help people pay their energy bills, including the Forsyth County Department of Social Services, Crisis Control and The Salvation Army. The Social Security Administration has a program called SSI which will supplement a person's social security to adjust for higher winter bills. The applicant must be eligible for the program. In addition, there is a federal Energy Assistance Program that will help in paying winter fuel bills. Application to that program is available through the federal government and the program usually accepts applications in November. This program can provide up to $200 per year for paying energy bills, according to Sink. Duke Power will also defer energy payments for up to six months, Sink said. "We especially try to work with senior citizens," he said. The utility can spread the payment over a period of time, but Duke Power does expect payment in full at the end of the defferred period.

Q: What arrangements has the city of WinstonSalem made to protect its residents in the event of a nuclear attack? A: Dorothy Fentress of the local civil defense office said if a nuclear attack was targeted for Winston-Salem or the surrounding area, there are two plans to protect residents from nuclear fallout. The first, fallout shelters, would be used in the event of a sudden attack in which there is only a short time until the blast was to occur. People would be expected to go to designated shelters which are located throughout the city. There are about 266 shelters in Winston-Salem, Fentress said, and people would be expected to bring their own food, water and special medicines. "The shelters are not stocked," she said. People will be expected to share the provisions they bring wun omers in tne sneiter. "A shelter manager would be responsible for allotying food and water," she said. The federal government hasn't stocked fallout shelters with supplies since the 1960s. According to the 1980 census, Winston-Salem's population is about 139,085. With only 266 fallout shelters, that equals 522 people per shelter. People would be expected to stay in the shelter for up to two weeks, according to the book In Time of Emergency, provided free by the Winston-Salem & Forsyth County Department of Emergency Management/ The office, located at Smith Reynolds Airport, also provides information to those who want to build their own fallout shelters. The second plan to protect people from nuclear attack is Crisis Relocation Planning. This plan will evacuate residents to what is called a "host area." ^ Please see page A3 UBSCRIBE I to m* I ton-Salem Chronicle_ I TODAY . : . -t i n t, r >io rtor t 722-8624 It ROLET TRUCK CENTER 1 ^ APR ?ciyoyrm^ AwHw Jmiwi ? r uiNnwinv O PICKUP TRUCK iY SL TAft mw-m > i tMWM mmstKMm ijKt . 1M: Oc I? fl-fitIII; [< HiI.T.l iWAiiiiiiiiiiiiflH ;
