The needs include the following essentiol ingredients, namely: 1. Physiological needs or drives 2. Safety and security needs 3,.. Love, belonging and acceptance needs 4. Self and social esteem needs 5. Self-actualization needs In this hierarcny, trom lower-to-nigner levei needs, mon s greatest satisfaction is in self-actualizotion; his most profound job is in the development and constructive expression of his talents. The lower-order needs, however, ore more demanding ond until they ore reasonobly well satisfied, high motives and drives hove little effect upon man. There ore three supporting social and religious institutions that help mon to cope with his inner self, os he attempts to satisfy these needs. They are the home, church and the school. Each of these institutions plays its port in helping our youth to .ope with the rigors of life. The home provides our youth with physiological security and gives them the feeling of being safe and secure within their environment. The church teaches love ond acceptance of ourselves, as well os love for our fellow man. The school, through its identification of strengths and weoknesses in our youth, helps one to realize his God-given potentiolity. As our youth move beyond the environment of the boy and girl .scouts, Y-teen groups and other sociol ond recreational )'ogencies, they reoch out in desperotion for other institutions to service to the needy, satisfy their sociol ond esteem needs. Everv individual becomes ond destitute, t.ien it could offilioted with some sort of social outlet ond in mony instances, these outlets have a negative influence upon the individuol. Thus, it is apparent by now that the writer supports the idea of a Junior Citizen Association. This, however, would depend on its missions, goals, ond ^.<ojectives. If such oVoup wo*‘ld hove os its mojor mission sociolizotion, then 1 would question its existence, if. however, such on organizotion has as its mojor mission a nucleus of young people, who have as their central very well justify its existence. As described * in Mosiow's ierorchy of needs, mon achieves self-ond social esteem when he is able to measure his contributions ond efforts through dedicoted services to others. Ralei)|h Woman Gives Views On J. Carter BY CHARLENE REGE8TER. Staff Wrii<»r A medium height, slender voung Raleigh woman with broad glasses hovering her face, personally knows Presi dent-elect Jimmy Carter. Ms. Elaine Woolfolk, a ^ 20-year-old graduate of Merrer University, and a native of Shiloh, Ga., which is about 30 miles from Plains, is a rare person in that she is one of the few people in Raleigh who has been associated with Carter. From the many perceptions of Jimmy Carter, she too has her own. and describes him as, ' The kind of person who takes time with people." She said that when she worked with him, ‘‘It wasn’t even diffi cult to see him. He was a very open person and down to earth. Ms. Woolfolk, who has served as a White House Aide and has eaten breakfast with former President Richard M. Nixon, which she admitted in a tone of dismay, could be considered a credible judge of politicians because of her Rights Group Cancels Meet The Uecemoer meeting of jpRie Raleigh-Apex chapter of '^the National Association for Advancement of Colored ^Hiple has been cancelled. The regular meeting for January will be held Jan. 16. according to a chapter spokesperson. political exposure and experi ence. She said that Carter, ' ' Strikes you as being a person who doesn’t come on as a politician...he's liberal...he's b^n around more than his brother."Speaking of his being a nuclear i^ysicist, she said, ' Just from talking to him. you wouldn’t know that he was all that educated." Her interaction with Carter began her freshman year in college when she was working on Georgia’s Flint Ridge Dam project, which affected Iwth of them since they resided in that area. Carter was governor at the time and he helped to get Congressional support for the project. As a pagette in the House of Representatives of Georgia, serving under Rep. Randolph Philllpa, the became more familiar with Carter as a person and as a political leader. Leaning forward on her fSrearm, and quickly falling back with a chuckle upon hearing the question of what is Plains like, she said empha- '.vslly, ‘ ' I t's real, real small, with the center of the town looking like a gas station or railroad station, scattered with a lew shops." Comment ing on Carter’s home, she said. ' ‘ To be as wealthy as he is. it's not a mansion." Surpris ingly, Ms. Woolfolk said, "It's a 1-level brick home. If you passed by it, you wouldn't know it was his house." (See MUULruLK. P. 2) MS ELAINE WOOLFOLK Rental Refusals Foutfht Observers Expect 1977 To Be Bargaining Year WASHINGTON, D.

Brown, a disaMed army veteran returned to Kinston in rural eastern North Carolina two years ago to help blacks in the community organize them selves to solve problems in housing and inadequate educa tion and to help the elderly. "Right from the beginning, the police started to harass me and asking people who I was and telling them that I was a militant," Brown said. But according to Brown, he was not stopped by the harassment. He rented a hoi^ and began to recruit members' into the Lincoln Community Service Society, whose im mediate goal was to get federal funds to carry on tome activities, such as programs to feed senior citizens. Wfhen asked about the re sponse from local business men, Brown said that they "thought that because we were trying to help the poor blacks that we were a communist group or militants, but that’s not so." Brown, 39-yearf-old and a native of Kinston, described the small tobaoeo community as about 25 years behind the rest of the state in race relations and in living and work conditions. ’Die com munity is "changing a small bit due to large factories movmg south. But evm those treat blacks as if we have no rights," Brown said. He cites several examples of blacks who work for DuPont, a multi-national corporation, as "helpless” He said.

Calif. - The major problem with federal employment (^mortun- ity programs is ‘ ‘ failure to adhere to the basic constitu tional mandate of equal pro tection under the law," ac cording to the Anti-Defamation League (ADD of B'nai B’rlth. Testifying at a hearing Monday of the U. S. Labor Department’s Office of Fed eral Contract Compliance Pro grams, Harry J Keaton, chairman of ADL's national discriminations committee and president of its Los Angeles regional board, said funda mental violations of the U. S. Constitution are * ‘ common place" everywhere in the United States in the daily operations of federal programs erga^tea more man 15 yean ago to uphold equal employment <^>port unity. The hearing on proposed changes in equal employment opportunity regulations for federal contractors, was held at Loe Angeles City Hall. Keaton called for the follow ing changes in the regulations; -Elmination of racial, ethnic and sex cpiotas and ptHeren- lial treatment; -Elimination the Labor Department’s arbitrary classi fication and definitions for the term ‘ ' minority groups"; -•Conforming the regula tions' ban on employment discrimination by American contractors hiring for overseas projMts to the stricter Presi dential directive; and -Inclusion of a clearer statement of protection against discrimination fm* employees and j<A applicants who obst^rv e religious holidays and the Sabbath. Pointing out that ADL had helped promulgate the concipl 01 "aiiirmai.ve action to remove barriers to equal opportunity. Keaton said that that concept suffers today from ‘ ‘ widespread perversion and distortion." "What (he regulations naively describe as ^goals’," he said. ‘ become quotas achieved through preferential treatment - which is reverse discrimination and a denial of equal c^iportumty.'

While we ore possibly the larger port of downtown's income in the retail stores, this moy not be sufficient to help bring bock the inner city. There is now 0 critical demond for further involvement in the woy of investment. The downtown moN could be o "white elephant" for residents who live close to the downtown stores unless adequate parking is made available. There is o 40 percent tox allocated to parking focilities to ougment the molt. However, occording to reliable informotion, there are no porking facilities in sight. In other words, if there ore not accommodations for parking downtown, there will be still more shrinkage in the stores or a groduol drying up of downtown stores. Should this trend continue, those hurt the most, aside from the present downtown merchonts who are olreody in o financial squeeze because of the poor parking accommodotions and disruption of troffic on Fayetteville Street, will be the inner city dwellers. Suffice it to soy. we blacks ore now the predominant inner city dwellers. No doubt, the time hos come in Raleigh when .nose of us who look to downtown Raleigh for convenience, pride and unselfishness must assess our finonciol ossets with a view towards soving downtown not only for our convenience, but for the prestige it deserves in the capitol city. There ore enough dilapidated buildings downtown which could be razed and in their stead erected parking decks, for without these focilities, downtown's moll is going to be o burden for us instPrtH nf on osset. Roleigh belongs to us, just os it belongs to other citizens. This meons both privilege ond responsibility. It is our considered opinion thot with no porking decks in view (os were promised in the beginning) to support the moll, mony avenues hove been tapped and exhausted in on ottempt to arouse interest in investing in porking facilities for (iowntown. To dote, we know of no such proposoi to erect such needed focilities. Therefore, we must conclude thot those who ore in a position to build or see thot porking focilities ore built downiown ore not interested in, or ore content to, see downtown continue to deplete itself of stores. This then, allows for interested investors to form corporotions under which porking decks could be erected. Certainly, it must be good business os we know of none that-go out of business for lock of use. C(ty Council has whotever informotion is needed to guide any group interested in such 0 venture. If it (the council) does not, see fit to support the moll ond downtown merchonts, os well os those who live in the close -vicinity of downtown, there ore other sources ovoiloble. Such informotion should be forthcoming tor the osking os there m t be council members who ore still interested in o thriving downtown R"' ,.h. We trust there is among us enough business ocumen to see i venture not only O'. 0 n^ed, but os o good investment for themselves ond our capitol city. Wun'i the investors pleose come forword. We reolly need you, i.e., Roieigh's d<:wntnwn. it's people and stores.
