Special
Olympics
A While Christmas is over for the
P'rest of the world, it has just begun
f for N.C. Special Olympics,
f More than 1 .000 North Carolina
grocery and drug chains will team
up with Procter & Gamble, Inc..
and Governor James B. Hunt to
bring the joy of Special Olympics to
thousands of mentally retarded
citizens in this state.
During the last week of De
^ cember and the first week of
w January, 45 million American
homes well receive cents-off cou
pons through the Publishers Clear
ing House mailing service. The
package, featuring 14 Procter &
Gamble products, also contains a
message urging public support for
Special Olympics.
Procter & Gamble will con
tribute 5 cents to Special Olympics
up to $500,000 nationally for every
coupon redeemed by January 23.
? Half the funds collected in North
, Carolina will go to N.C. Special
Olympics and the remainder will
benefit Special Olympics national
ly ?
The giant fund-raiser was kicked
oft by Gov. Hunt's declaration of
"Special Olympics Awareness
Week." January 3 - 9, and an NBC
movie, "The Kid from Nowhere",
which tells the story of Special
fc- Olympics, on January 4.
"The grocery and drug store
chains are playing a major role in
this project and their response has
been unbelievable", said Alan
Bolick, State Special Olympics
director. "While almost everyone is
featuring the 14 Procter & Gamble
cents-off coupons, a great many of
the chains are going all-out with
posters, shelf displays, door
stickers, newspaper ads, and even
^ employee buttons supporting,
? Special Olympics."
North Carolina chains sup
porting the program are: Buy Rite,
Shop Rite. Winn Dixie. Food Fare,
Colonial-Big Star, Lowe's, Wil
son's, Food Land. Byrd's, Harris
Teeter. Fast Fare, IGA, Best Way,
Food Rite, Clover Leaf, Piggly
Wiggly. Parker's. Harris Super
markets. Red & White. Shop-Eze.
Kerr Drugs, Hill's Supermarkets,
|A & P, and many others. "It is our
hope that consumers will shop and
redeem their coupons at stores that
are supporting us in this program",
Bolick said.
But individuals can do more than
just redeem their coupons. In many
of the newspaper ads and in many
stores' shelf displays. Proctor &
Gamble "matching coupons" will
appear. A shopper can simply
include this coupon with a donation
^ to Special Olympics and it will be
w matched up to 250.000 nationally
by Proctor & Gamble.
"The combined efforts of this
campaign will help North Carolina
citizens understand what Special
Olympics is all about -- an op
portunity for mentally retarded
citizens to grow through achieve
ments in athletic training and
competition", Bolick said.
N.C. Special Olympics is a
J year-round program of sports train
ing and athletic competition serv
ing almost 24.000 mentally re
tarded children and adults in North
Carolina.
There are 90 local programs
serving 100 counties.

If you have a healthy in
terest in the food you eat,
here's some nutritional in
formation you should find
nourishing.
? Vitamin C, what many
experts refer to as the "glue"
that holds the body togeth
er, is water soluble, and can
not be retained in the body
for further use. It must be
"reapplied" every day,
? One of the world's
most important cereal crops
is rice. It has one certain ad
vantage over other cereal
grasses such as oats, rye,
wheat and barley. Rice does
not create many of the al
lergic conditions of other
cereals, and it has a better
vitamin profile than other
related cereals.
? A versatile yogurt cul
ture that's considered good
for intestinal hygiene is
acidophilus. Acidophilus re
introduces friendly bacteria
and is often taken when
one is using an antibiotic.
One company, Schiff, per
haps the moat respected
name in nutrition, offers its
Acidophilus Preparation in a
powder form in a two piece
capsule. This allow* the or
ganism to revive when it en
ters the moist atmosphere
of the stomach, and start to
do ita work efficiently.

In Morton Kelsey's book. The
Other Side of Silence (Paulist
Press, 1976), there is a story about
a man who wanted to grow in
spiritual depth. Under the guid
ance of a teacher, he made great
progress. Then, however, the
teacher had to be away for six
months and it was a half-year later
that he once again encountered his
former pupil. Asked how he was
doing in his spiritual life, the
former pupil replied that he stopp
ed all religious practices and did
not intend to resume. To the
astonished teacher's "Why?" he
replied, "I saw a little light and I
didn't like it." Concludes Kelsey,
"The light made too many de
mands on him."
That is precisely what it means
when we speak of Jesus as "The
light of the world." That light came
into our world, as John puts it, to
"enlighten" all of us, to help us to
see things as they really are and are
meant to be. But the light is more
than a comfort, it is also a
challenge. As Kelsey put it, it
makes demands upon us! It calls
something from us. And if we are
not willing to give it, we begin to
prefer the darkness where we can
hide As John says, "For everyone
who does evil, hates the light, and
does not come to the light, lest his
deeds should be exposed" (3:20).
No it is not far-fetched for me to
suggest that some of us prefer the
darkness to light. "And this is the
judgment," wrote John, "that the
light has come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than
light, because their deeds are evil"
(3:19).
All of us are glad that there are
some aspects of our lives that are
not out in the open for everyone to
see. There are some thoughts,
actions, and atitudes we are glad to
keep a secret within us. At the same
time, we realize that with God there
is nothing that is hidden. He knows
our most detestable thoughts, our
deepest temptations, and our ac
tions that never come to the
attention of others.
Therefore, some will regard the
Light of the World as an unwel
come intrusion in their lives. Yet,
fearful as it is to be so completely
known by God, isn't it also
comforting and reassuring? God
knows both the worst and the best
about us and he loves us nonethe
less. There is nothing in our lives
that is truly hidden from him. But
isn't it good to have at least
someone from whom we do not
have to hide the truth? Instead of
fearing and trying to escape the
Light into our lives, we can
welcome it, knowing that it is by
the power of that Light that we are
freed of darkness, that we no longer
have to carry secret burdens. Jesus
himself promised, "1 have come as
light into the world, that whoever
believes in me may not remain in
darkness."
