annual convention of the National
Newspaper Publishers
Association at Winston-Salem,
which appeared in our Atlanta
Daily World, 1 am excited to
learn what the NNPA is all
about.
I am confident that your wellorganized
and well-planned programs
and workshops will
definitely strengthen the ties between
all black publishers and bring
them closer together, because
togetherness means strength.
With this strength, the power of

and effective reality.
In addition, the NNPA
scholarship program is timely,
and demonstrates the acceptance
of our responsibility to our youth,
and students, who will carry our
efforts into the future. It is gratifying
to realize how far we have
come, but still, it peeves me to
realize how far we have yet to go.
I look forward to a strong
alliance, not only between the
r l
j a coo From F
port ant. Privatizing education
through vouchers doesn't meet
government's responsibilities -- it
evades them.
The voucher plan should be.
. seen in the context of both national
educational needs and current
federal social policies.
We should remember that the.
administration has long backed
various tuition refund plans for"
the middle class. Those didn't
fly, so we have to suspect that the ?
current voucher-for-the-poor
proposal is a stalking horse for
later across-the-board educational
subsidies for more affluent
families.
This is also an administration
that has demonstrated its indifference
to civil rights enforcement,
even to thc extent of trying
i| to wki UK-exempt< itatoift for
j Brown ^
every justification to do just as
: the Italians did in 1948.
But black voters in Newark got
precisely what they re-elected in
1986 - more poverty, illiteracy,
unemployment, homeless
children and crime.
These problems will only be
addressed politically by blacks
when they recognize what the
j U.S. Supreme Court said in its reiiiwiwium??????w?

Historian
"He told the captain he could
not sell his relatives into
slavery," Fleming said. "The
ship left him behind, and nothing
more was heard of him."
_> But he had fathered several
children in America, among them
one known as "Big Alf." Alf had
a son named Alfred, who had a
son named Isaac. They lived in
three plantations near Morganton
~ Magnolia, Belvedere and
Swan Pond.
Isaac, Fleming's great,
grandfather, was the last to live
in slavery, and when freedom
came he put farm work behind
him. A white foreman helping
construct a state mental institution
taught him how to lay brick,
and he in turn taught his father.
Together, they went into
business. "They built chimneys
all over western North
Carolina,'* Fleming said.
Most of the family remains in
and around Morganton, and the
name Alfred is still common
among them. The family has prospered:
Fleming's uncle is the
former president of Shaw University
in Raleigh, his brother is a
barber, his sister works for the
Tennessee Valley Authority in
Knoxville.
And Fleming himself is a trained
historian, working on a project
to give black Americans the
day, July 3,1966

To The Editor:
I want to express my personal
thanks to you for working hard
to bring a prestigious group tike
NNPA to the Hyatt WinstonSalem.
The cooperation of
yourself and others involved was
appreciated very much.
We were honored as a staff to
host this fine group and to
demonstrate true Southern
'age A5
segregated academies. Again, the
vouchers could be a way to stem
the tide of desegregation, giving
white families the means to
escape integrated schools.
By de-emphasizing the one institution
- the public school ~
that has traditionally served to
provide common ground for all,
the government would be further
fragmenting a divided society.
The bottom line should be
quality education for all children,
and until the government convincingly
demonstrates . that a
voucher system would meet that
goal, it should concentrate its efforts
on making the public
schools deliver quality education.

To The Editor:
Congratulations on the
recognition shown by the National
Newspaper Publishers
Association to you and the
Chronicle staff. I know how
rewarding it is to have your colleagues
take note of your accomplishments
- something that
we here in Winston-Salem
already know.
Please keep up the good work
and I know, in the not-toodistant
future, we will read about
the Chronicle sweeping all the
first-place awards.

Health
perspiration; tiredness and
weakness; possible headache and
cramps; dizziness; nausea or
vomiting and possible fainting,
and
heat stroke - high body
temperature of 106 degrees or
higher; hot, red, dry skin due to
lack of perspiraiton; strong,
rapid pulse and possible delirium
or unconsciousness.
"Heat stroke is very serious
and can be fatal," Dundon says.
"A person exhibiting symptoms
of heat stroke should see a physician
or get to a hospital immediately/'
There were two heat-related
deaths reported in North
Carolina in 1984 and 25 in 1983,
according to Dr. J.N. MacCormack,
chief of the epidemiology
section for the N.C. Department
of Human Resources. Statistics
for 1985 are not yet available.
Dundon suggests several ways
to beat the heat:
Drink plenty of liquids, as
much as 50 percent more than
normal thirst requires. Water is
better than soft drinks.
Stay out of direct sunlight.
Avoid alcoholic beverages.
Try to stay in a cool, wellventilated
area. People without
air-conditioned homes might
want to visit an air-conditioned
building, such as a shoping center
or library. .
