The News Record Participates
In 'Learn To Read' Program
The News Record is participating
in "Learn to Read," an instructional
reading program for illiterate adults.
There are an estimated 27 million
functionally illiterate adults in the
United States, meaning that they can
not read at a fifth-grade level. Ap
proximately 1.5 million of these are in
North Carolina.
The program is sponsored by
h'-mart and local news media.
The "Year of the Reader" is
sponosored by the Library of Con
gress Center for the Book, and its
goal is to make reading more accessi
ble to Americans of every age, social
status and ethnic group.
Keeping with the goal, "Learn to
Read," a series of 30 half-hour pro
grams, will be aired Saturday morn
ings at 6 a.m. on WLOS-TV (Channel
13) beginning Saturday.
Channel 13 is one of 60 television
stations across the country airing the
"Learn To Read" series, which is
billed as a "Sesame Street" for
adults.
Each program will begin with a
5-minute review of the previous day's
lesson. The lesson portion of the pro
gram will consist of IS minutes of in
troduction and practice of new
material.
Separating the program dements
are one-minute capsules of informa
tion intended to instruct and enter
tain, as well as to provide a break
from the more seriously approached
curriculum.
A daily segment called "Getting
Along" will teach the viewer prac
tical reading skills such as how to
recognize important signs, read food
and product labels, use a telephone
book, etc.
The program continues through
Oct. 3. Weekly lessons will appear in
The News Record.

outlawed, and was national president
of the South African Voice of Women,
a multiracial women's organization
which sought to promote racial recon
ciliation in South Africa.
Fleeing to the United States, she
pursued her education, winning addi
tional degrees from N.C. A&T
University, Elizabeth town College in
Pennsylvania and Lancaster
Theological Seminary. She has
recently been granted political
asylum by the U.S. State Depart
ment.
Chabaku is presently an ordained
Methodist minister in Aabeboro. She
travels widely as an activist, speak
ing as an advocate for South African
blacks, women's issues and faith
centered work for Justice.
She is active in several women's

organizations. Her work has taken
her to Europe, Latin America, and
the Middle East. She was the keynote
speaker several years ago at the
United Nations Mid-Decade for
Women and the Women's Forum in
Copenhagen.

THE CHURCH: A Place To Feel
The old man had been deaf most of his life. But every Sunday found him in church,
sitting on the same pew, attempting to go through the motions of worship in harmony with
the other worshipers. Yet, his every act of worship was a strain carried out in his world of
silence.
A close friend wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to the old man. He read, "Why
do you go to church? You can't hear a word that is said."
Calling on his broken and faltering English remembered from his hearing days, hf
said, 'To let people know whose side I'm on!"
He continued, "At worship in church I may not hear much, but I FEEL MUCH. I feel
what's happening around me; the music's rhythm touches me; the prayers hold me close;
the smiles on people's faces during the sermon and the intensity I sense from them, give
me a feeling of God's presence."
Worshiping in church gives a feeling that no other expression of God's presence
approaches. No wonder the writer of Hebrews instructed; "Forsake not the assembling of
ourselves together." (Hebrews 1025)
