COASTAL BREEZES FROM EASTERN N.C. BY WM. JOSEPH BARBKR, SR. Well, my “Pore Ole Bones” have rested somewhat since our St. Louis trek to the 10th National Black Ministers Retreat of the Disciples of Christ. (Can’t take those cross country tirps like I used to!) The “captive” Black congregation, or any other minority congregation operating in a primarily White denominational structure poses highly visible but not insurmountable problems both for the minority group and the majority group because it forces both groups to deal with issues they could otherwise ignore. Concomitally, such a situation pesents golden opportunities for growth in both groups. At least it seems to this writer that this was the undertone at the retreat, both on the part of the two lecturers (Dr. Kenneth E. Henry, associate professor of church historv and the part of the two lecturers (Dr. Kenneth E. Henry, associate professor of church history and fieldperson at Interdenominational Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; and Dr. Paul Sims, associate minister for the Christian Church in the Southwest) and the “preacher to preachers” for the occasion (Dr. Harry S. Wright, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church, New York). Dr. Henry also pointed out that minority persons must look at history from their persepective and help others understand this perspective. Retreat members came from just about every state in the union and from Puerto Rico. The latter being represented by Dr. Rivera, president of the Latin America (Council of Churches, and by his wife. It is contemplated that CEU credits through one of the seminaries connected with the Disciples of Christ will be given next year’s attending persons. Was reading Lewis Grizzard’s syndicated column (Register and Tribune Syndicate, Inc.) in the Washington (N. C.) Daily News of Friday, March 30, 1984. He mentioned a story out of Pheonix, Arizonia which told of misbehaving prisoners being fed' blatid, meatloaf as punishment moring, noon and night. I am neither condoning nor condemning the act, but it does bring back memories. During the 1950’s and 60’s I was Staff Assistant at Planner House of Indianapolis (one of the largest and most comprehensive Settlement Houses in the country) and its parent, the Board for Fundamental Education (a Congressionally chartered organization). As such, I was in charge of its cannery and garden programs. Our community gardens were north of Indianapolis, just outside Marion County and over in Hamilton County. Farmers in that an^a raised some corn as truck crop, and some Indianapolis residents had a habit of “borrowing” corn without consulting the owners. They very seldom crossed the county line. On this occsion, however, some “borrowers” were caught in a Hamilton County farmer’s cornfield (i.e., across the Marion County line.) The “borrowers,” thinking they were still in Marion County, expected the usual citation and fine, were surprised by being “entertained” in the local “calaboose” at the Hamilton County seat over the weekend. The sheriff’s wife doubled as cook for the Hamilton County jail. She decided that since these Indianpolis “guests” of hers liked fresh corn so well, that is what she would feed them (all they could eat, but nothing else) breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole weekend! I recollect they swore off corn for a while! On Sunday, April 8, 1984, the Young Adult Choir of Mt. Zion Holy Church, Williamston, N. G. will observe its anniversary. The Refreshing Spring Church of God in Christ Caravan Revival is being held at Pentacostal Temple Church of God in Christ, Plymouth, N. C., 2(X) Rankin Lane. Refreshing Spring Church is in Riverdale Md. This is a “traveling revival.” BARBERISM: In looking ahead, don’t stumble over what is under your feet!!

Soil-borne nematodes may be robbing your garden of part of its potential yield of fruit and vegetables. A soil assay can help determine if you have the problem and how serious it is. Nematodes are round worms that can’t be seen without the aid of a microscope. Some of them cause large swellings on the roots of some vegetables and farm crops. These swellings are easily seen, if you pull , up a plant and view the roots. Agricultural Extension Service specialists at North Carolina State Univ^sity explain that *her nematodes cause injury but don’t cause root knot. Therefore, the best way to determine if you have nematodes in your garden soil is to take a soil sample and have it assayed. The assay by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture will cost you on ly $1 per sample. You pro bably wouldn’t want to sub mit more than one sample from a normal size garden. This composite sample can be taken by collecting small amounts of soil from several locations in the garden, mix ing it thoroughly and taking about a quart of the soil for the assay. The soil to be assayed should be put into a plastic bag and kept cool. Forms to submit with the sample and additional information are available from your county agricultural extension office. If you’re qualified but disabled, you may be en titled to serious considera tion for a job with fully half of America’s some three million businesses covered by Federal laws. The crucial word is “qual ified.” You must be capable of performing a particular job—with reasonable accom modation to your handi capping condition, if such accommodation is needed. You may be disabled but not really “handicapped” unless you (1) have a phys ical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of your major life activities, (2) have a record of such an impairment, and (3) are regarded as having such an impairment. “Substantially limits...” concerns your degree of disability. A handicapped person who has a hard time getting a job, or getting ahead on the job because of a disability, would be considered “substantially limited.” As for your “major life activities,” these include communication, ambula tion, self-care, socialization, education, transportation, and employment. The main emphasis is on activities that in some way affect your employment. THANKS I, Gertrude Har ris, am taking this opportunity to ex press my thanks and gratitude for the prayers, visits, cards, flowers and other expressions that helped to cheer me and brighten my stay in the hospital.
