Cole: Parents
must take lead
By CHERYL WILLIAMS
Chronicle Staff Writer
If black parents don't take
responsibility for the education
of their children, said a national
NAACP official Saturday, no
one else will.
' Dr. Beverly Cole told the nearly
100 people attending an education
conference, sponsored by the
NAACP's local chapter, that
older blacks should instill in their
young the knowledge of who they
are and where they came from.
' "If we fail to do this, we run
the risk of producing what my
grandmother used to call an
educated fool," said Dr. Cole,
the NAACP's education director,
in a luncheon address at
Winston-Salem State University.
"We need to return to our
African tradition."
A part of that African tradition,
she said, is bavins voune
people sit at the feet of their
elders, where they soak up
wisdom and history.
Black people also need to share
more time in general with their
" chfldreri, she said, For instance,
research has ihown that student
achievers spend more time at the
dinner table, she said, talking
with family members and learning
from one another.
Instead, blacks don't spend
enough time with their youth and
are losing ground in education at
an alarming rj&te, Mrs. Cole said.
"FT we continue on the pattern
that we are going as a group, the
consequence for the race will
equal the famine in Ethiopia,"

"Be it ever so humble, there's
no place like home/' the adage
says. Unless, of course, you consider
the home an eyesore - and
someone brought it by truck to
your neighborhood.
Such is the case in Monticello
Park, where a group of residents
hopes to stop a retired dentist
from renovating a house that he
moved into the development this
summer.

There's hardly a moment of
the day that Louise Smith isn't
doing something.
If Miss Smith, past chairman
of Winston-Salem State University's
board of trustees, is not attending
a meeting, helping in
church matters, or volunteering,
she's involved in her hobbies,
which include directing weddings
and doing crafts and needlework.
"Many people tell me, 'Louise,
you're doing too much,' " she
said. "But I know when ! have
enough."

Ford didn't report the crime to
the police because "when you live

Little quoted Ford as saying.
Ford also told Little that he
had played basketball with two of
the attackers, whom he thought
were brothers, at a nearby park.
