i eh I Winsi I Vol. XIII, No. 3t U.S.P.S. No. 067! Winston-Salem i By MARDELL GRIFFIN Chronicle^Staff Writer A sampling of local ministers reveals that they believe former PTL head Jim Bakker should be forgiven for any of his alleged misdeeds and that the controversy has had little effect on their own congregations. * However, calling him everything from a fallen man to a cult leader, they differ in other opinions about Bakker and his ministry. "The man just stumbled and fell. And, the truth is, we all have," said Dr. Quincy A.

A week later, it was torn down. Assistant Principal John T. Beaty said that this is only one example of the increase in vandalism that the school has recently been experiencing. 44We have taken lots of steps in recent weeks to beautify the school, "^le^said. "We planted more grass, planted flowers and put up a fence. Our efforts are being undermined and undone by vandals. That's discouraging." Ashley, located at 1647 E. 21st St. in a black community, had also put up two wooden signs in front of the school to direct visitors to the front office. Beaty said these signs, too, were torn down. Beaty said the school has beeri the target of frequent acts of vandalism since it became a middle school in the city/county school reorganization * 1 ; J I ^ j mM ^ I I M HH ton-Sale The Twin City's Aw 910 Winston-Salem, N.C. ministers respoi pastor of Greater United Progressive BaptisL Church.

E.L. Yokley, with the Field Services Division of the Winston-Salem Police Department, said vandalism at schools in the city seems to be seasonal. "It happens quite a bit at the beginning and toward the end of school, and occasionally in the summer," Yokley said. He also said many of the culprits in school vandalism incidents have been juveniles. Yokley said that generally, when a school is located near a neighborhood, there is not a lot of vandalism. Beaty blames many of his school's problems on its location. There is a wooded area near the school, and the school is located so that few neighbors have a clear view of the school grounds. "The school i$ situated where it is a prime location for vandalism and burglary attempts," he said.
