it a minimum 5 year attivc sentence, or one-third of the
total sentence, whichever is longer. State Bureau of
Investigation Director Charles Dunn spoke in favor of
this bill.
Representative L.H. Fountain and U.S. Senator
Jesse Helms have asked the General Accounting Office
to investigate federal spending at Soul City. This
request was made after a series of articles appeared in
the Raleigh News and Observer.
The articles reported that $19.5 million in aid has
been made available by various federal agencies to
McKissick's development, most of it after he switched
his registration from Democrat to Republican and
joined former President Nixon's 1972 campaign for
re-election.
After 6 years and expenditures of more than $5
million. Soul City still has no industries, shops and the
only residents are those working for McKissick and his
partners.

[GREENSBORO)
The Guilford County Sheriff’s Deputies Association
stated recently that they attempted to have a
conference with Sheriff Paul Gibson and were given the
‘‘brush off”. As a result of this “brush off", the
Association presented the county commissioners with
their list of grievances.
In presenting the list of grievances to county
commissioners, the Association prefaced its
presentation by saying, “We mean no criticism against
Sheriff Gibson or any county officials."
Charles J. Jeffers, a former GTl teacher, was
awarded an $86,655 judgment against the institution
because he alleges that his contract with the school
was not honored. Of the $86,655 which Jeffers is to
receive, $15,000 is to be paid by four individual
members of the GTl faculty and administration who
were deemed personally liable for their actions against
the former instructor.
Attorneys for GTl have stated that they will appeal
the verdict on the grounds that the contract with Jeffers
was not breached.
[HIGH POINT]
Recommendations developed by the City Council s
special police committee were presented to the full
Council by committee chairman. Roy B. Culler, Jr.
Among the recommendations was one requesting that
any information now held by special investigator Luke
Wright be turned over to the new police chief.
Twenty recommendations were made by the special
police committee. For the most part, the majority of the
recommendations dealt with matters of personnel.
High Point City Council recently passed a "leash
law” which is to become effective March 26. The law
will require that all dogs within the city be confined in
some type enclosure or restraining device on the
owners property. A leash is also required when the dog
is'not on the owners property.
Not all of the Council voted in favor of the leash law.
Councilman Roy Guller was the only one who voted
against it, however. Other councilmen were reluctant to
take this step, but most felt a need to include cats in the
law or find some means to control their at-large
activities.

FAYETTEVILLE - Coach
Page Saunders, tennis
mentor at Fayetteville State
University, will open his
tennis campaign for the
1975 season on March 12 at
home against Livingstone
College.
The Broncos net men will
be led by senior and
captain, Donnie Campbell.
He is a native of Statesville,
NC and has been tabbed
coach Saunders’ number
one player this year.
The Broncos netters hope
to improve their lack-lustre
per formance of a year ago
when they won 7 contests
and dropped 7.
Coach Saunders will rely
on several newcomers this
year and his roster is filled
with three freshmen, three
sophomores, two juniors,
and one senior.
The schedule calls for six
home matches and seven
on the road. The regular
season ends April 17 and
the CIAA Tennis Tourna
ment will be held April
18-20 at Hampton Institute.

that other qualified blacks
are allowed into similar
positions,”
Goode said that some
blacks after getting to a
certain position think they
have made it because of
their intelligence. “But
intelligence alone won't do
it."
“You made it because
you were lucky and because
someone else had put the
pressure on before you
came alone," he said.
Goode said he was lucky
when he got on at ABC
because there were many
Other qualified people
trying to get the position.
“But 1 got the job
because of contact and
luck,” he said.
He said more blacks need
to be qualified and ready to
step into positions when
America stops hiring mino
rities on a token basis.
In sports, Goode said
that players are usually
selected on the basis of
what they can do, instead of
skin color, religion and
other background. “That's
whv you see so many blacks
on winning teams.

Goode then recalled a
1947 conversation with
Branch Rickey, the late
general manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, who
brought the first black into
major league baseball.
Jackie Robinson.
Goode quoted Rickey sas
saying. “In the not too
distant future, we will look
back and wonder what the
issues were ail about."
Goode said he has lived
long enough to s^:e and
understand some of the
changes Rickey described.
Goode said that society is
already beginning to move
away from filling positions
with token minorities.
“And if the world survives
until the year 2.000. 1 think
that nobody will give a

GREENSBORO - The

co-champions of the Mid-
Eastern Athletic Confer
ence will officially open its
1975 baseball season
against Florida A&M

land led the nation in
strikeouts averaging better
than 14 whiffs a game, he
also compiled a phenomen

The Aggies lost the

Artis Stanfield through
graduation; however, hard
hitting Earnest Gaskins is
expected to take up where
Stanfield left off,
“This is a very talented
group of athletes we have
on this year's team," said
veteran coach Mel
Groomes, “We had over 75
candidates out for spring
practice and all of them had
talent worth looking at."

TENT FIRES
(Part One of Two Parts)
During a recent visit to the NBC-TV newsroom in
Rockefeller Center in New York, I was discussing
camping gear with Bernie Gavzer, chief of the station's
investigative news unit,
Bernie related a story that stunned me. Fortunately,
it should have, if not a happy ending, at least a
solution.
According to information uncovered by Gavzer’s
investigators, since 1970 there have been at least seven
deaths and 25 gross disfigurements due to tent fires.
Most small tents in use are made of paraffin and
cotton, the basic ingredients of candles. Once they
start burning, they just go up in flames.
In two tests spotlighted by Gavzer, one umbrella
tent intentionally set afire, blazed up and collapsed
within two minutes. A pup tent, burned as part of a
court case demonstration, collapsed in about one
minute.
These cases, especially the pup tent, highlight the
danger faced by thousands of campers. The danger is
particularly acute to youngsters who may have
purchased less expensive tents or obtained them
through some of the trading stamp programs.
However, the situation is not unique to the less
expensive or non-name brands. The umbrella tent was
manufactured by one of the m^or names in the
sporting goods field.
Youngsters camping in the woods or the backyard,
should be cautioned not to use candles, open flame, or
even lanterns that could generate sufficient heat to
cause the tent to catch fire.
Jim Hartz, who broadcast the Gavzer report, noted
that besides the tents on the market now, “there are
literally hundreds of thousands of tents in attics,
garages, and basements.” People drag them out
periodically to let the kids have a campout and then
return them to obscurity.
These tents are likely to be among the most
hazardous. Most were probably made before any
serious consumer movement began. Tents made after
the onset of these movements were dangerous, so you
could imagine how those made years ago are.
If it can’t be determined how flammable your tent
is, the best thing to do, of course, is to get rid of it.
This is not what most people will do.
In lieu of discarding the tent, an adult should be
present while youngsters are using them. Campfires
should not be allowed in the vicinity at all. Sparks
from the open fire could likely float onto the material
and catch fire.
Any kind of lighting device, with the exception of a
flashlight, should be absolutely prohibited in or near
the tent and under no circumstances should the flaps
be secured closed.
At the beginning of this column I mentioned the
number of deaths and gross disfigurements in the past
four years. Although these are shocking enough, it
should also be noted that the total figures for minor
injuries and total tent fires are just unavailable.
Next week I’ll focus in on fire-retardant tents and
what the government and industry are doing to make
camping a safer pastime.
