The initial purpose of the club was to establish positive; black role models for the youth in the East Winston community. From that concept grew organized activities such as a soccer league, vuiupuici wuiRMiups, uritiunctti contests, essay contests, bike safety programs and community service programs.

To The Editor: Having recently finished ; reading "A Memoir" by Dr. ; Kurt Waldheim, former secretary general of the United Nations, I feel compelled to speak out on ' some sad-but-undeniable facts ' concerning that formerly ;! prestigious organization, the !

It would appear to be a matter of plain common sense that we must stop drilling holes in our "lifeboat" and immediately reinforce her stability and "seaworthiness." This is no longer an option. Strong words, perhaps, but, until we find and implement a means of saving oikfSelves and our world from oursdves and our irresponsible refusal to make peace and world relations work, there is no other answer. So now to the question: What to do about it? The facts offered by Waldheim's book offer primary and urgent areas of action: education of the public sector, by means of readily available books, such as this one and other authoritative literature, including reliable journals and U.N. literature. dissemination of pertinent facts and truth, to counteract misinformation, defamation and mindless gossip.

A control group will also be followed and the results compared^ Some researchers believe that a primary vitamin, mineral and nutrient imbalance creates the drug craving in the first place and, obviously, the addiction itself exacerbates the imbalance. Gregory's "correction" formula to cleanse the body contains not only fiber, but a high-quality soy protein isolate, fortified with methionine and many other nutrients, including essential fatty acids and trace elements. For the vast majority of us who simply need a good health and nutrition center, there is "Dick Gregory's International Health Instituted in Nassau, capital of the Bahamas. You can lose weight, learn about good nutrition and enjoy a week or more in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Is Gregory doing all of this for money? Or because he's trying to prove that capitalism works? Gregory is just Gregory. He believes in people - and he wants to help.

"No chain is any stronger than its weakest-link" is^truismparticularly applicable to such a large and potentially influential institution. Only through the strong support of its membership and those whom it serves can it sustain itself and effectively accomplish the world goals set forth in its charter. Individual and collective action is required. Without support, there can be no United Nations; without unity, there can be no United Nations ? without the United Nations, where are we headed?

Without my asking, the famous Dick Gregory loaned me what seemed at the time to be all of the 7moneyinlhe world.?1 ?-1He and his wife, Lilian, on another occasion, sported a now rich and famous New York politician and myself to an all-expensepaid trip to St. Thomas. I finally repaid the loan, but my gratitude is endless. Dick Gregory is one of the rare individuals of our times. His interest in our physical and spiritual being is deep-seated; he was born with it in his heart. "Not what we give, but what we share, for the gift without the giver is bare. "Who gives himself and his alms feeds three: himself, his hungel$ng neighbor - and me," Mrs. Rbth Norman, my Garnet High English teacher, would recite. Little then did I know that she was describing Dick Gregory - a humane enterprise.
