A poll of the North Carolina
delegation revealed mixed opinions
about the bill. In 1985, the
seven Democrats supported the
House version of limited sanctions
against South Africa, while
the four Republicans opposed it.

! Usually, bag boys carry the
groceries to the customers' cars,
Martin said. During busier hours,
customers can load their
groceries in the parcel pickup
lane next to the store or carry
their groceries out to their cars,
he added.
"It is inconvenient for many
elderly people to have to take
their groceries to their cars,"
Mrs. Newell said.
... Not The First Time
This is not the first time Food
Lion Inc. and some local black
citizens have been at odds.
Two years ago, the local
chapter of the NAACP staged a
nine-week boycott of Food
Lion's stores, protesting the lack
of black managers and full-time
employees in the Salisbury-based
chai|. f
Food Lion officials agreed to
work toward hiring more Mick
managers and increasing the
business the chain does with
black suppliers, contractors,
banks and media.
A Necessary Measure
Wilbert T. Jenkins, manager
of the shopping center, said the
gate is a necessary security
measure.
"This is not a problem that has
begun one or two weeks ago," he
said. "We have had this problem
for a while now. The (gate) was
not done as an insult to
anybody."
Many of the store's customers
live in nearby East Winston
neighborhoods, Jenkins said.

Some Food Lion customers in
East Winston Shopping Center
say a newly installed security gate
is needed to reduce the number of
~~ ; stolen shopping carts.
Others say the gate is inconvenient
because many customers
have to take the groceries to their
. cars without the aid of a cart or
-that it it inquiring.
"I think it is not a bad idea,'*
said Willie Bowen, an employee
at International Minerals and
Chemical Corp. "It keeps people
from walking away with those
carts. You can see people with
those carts up and down the
highway."
But Rene Streetur an mnlnvM
9 with the Winston-Salem Housing
Authority, said she doesn't like
the security gate. "It is very inconvenient,
especially when you
have heavy bags/' she said.
1 "This is ridiculous," said Jesse
McClullen, a former nursing
assistant at N.C. Baptist Homes.
"Food Lion has enough
employees to bring the carts from
the parking lot," he said. "Their
staff is lazy."
McClullen said the security,
gate is an insult to the black com

problems, but it is a step in the
right direction."
Jones supported the bill for
economic sanctions against South
Africa last year, according to the
1985 Congressional Record.
Ed C. Nagy, administrative
assistant to Rep. l.T. "Tim"
Valentine of the 2nd District, said
Valentine supports the objectives
of the bill. "He feels that the
United States should do
everything it can to get the South
African government to move
away from apartheid," Nagy
said.
Vakaitmc, a i/tmocrai, supported
similar legislation last
year. ' < ' ... 14

'They take their groceries in the
shopping carts and forget to bring
them back/' he said. "We
have tried to live with this, but
something had to be done."
'Go Carts,' Gone Carts
Many missing carts have been
found five blocks away in nearby
neighborhoods, Jenkins said.
Others have been found abandoned
in creeks and fields.

Still others have been used as
"go carts" by youngsters.
'The store has sent bag boys
out into the community to bring
the carts back," Jenkins said.
Another Problem
The failure of some customers
to return carts to the store or to
the corral in the parking lot after
they had loaded their cars caused
another problem, Jenkins said. ?
"Our parking lot is on an incline,"
he said. "We had carts all
over the parking lot. Some of the
carts would roll into cars, and we
views mixed
munity. "I haven't seen anyone
take a cart," he said.
"People with a lot of groceries
need to take the shopping carts to
their cars," said James Dargan, a
sophomore at Winston-Salem
State University. "Carts should
be allowed in the parking lot."
Debbie D. Edmond, an
employee at K&W Cafeteria, said
the gate is inconvenient because it
causes traffic problems-in-front
of the store. "When people drive
up to pick up their groceries, they
are blocking traffic," she said.
But Ms. Edmond said the gate
is not an insult if people were
stealing the carts.
Keith B. Barnett, an employee
at Davis Oarage and Body Shop,
agreed. The gate was needed to
prevent the carts from being
stolen, he said.
"People are stealing these
carts," he said. "You see a lot of
people pushing these carts down
the streets and putting ttemin
thMr backyards."" : %3$'*;'
Rocky Brown, a WinstonSalem
resident, said the security
gate is OK with him. "I am glad
they did it," he said. "It has
stopped the shopping carts from
running all over the parking lot."

But Hefner will not reveal his
position on the bill until the final
version is presented, Ms. Zinscr
said in a telephone interview
from Washington.
Hefner supported the
economic sanctions bill last year,
the Congressional Record shows.
Rep. William W. Cobey Jr., a
4th District Republican, will probably
oppose the bill, said his
press secretary, Steven B. Long.

No Complaints
A survey of the five other Food
Lion stores in Winston-Salem
revealed that only the store at
1236 Waughtown St. has a
similar security gate. Clint H.
Addison, manager of the store,
said his store's gate, which was
installed at least three years ago,
has prevented shopping cart
thefts.
"Basically, we have solved the
problem," he said. 44We haven't
had any complaints about the
gate from our customers."
A $10,000 Loss
A survey of 16 other food
stores in Winston-Salem revealed
that only one other store had a
v security gate to prevent fMiMtii*
carts from being taken 1nt6 the

the black community.
Andy Santiago, manager of
Joe's Shop Rite on 1312 N. Patterson
Ave., said his store installed
a steel gate in August 1985 to
prevent carts from being taken
off the premises.
"I have been told that we lost
$10,000 worth of buggies in three
years," he said.
Now Shop Rite customers
drive up to the store and an
employee loads their cars, Santiago
said.
