THE CAROLINIAN—THURSDAY, APRIL 19,1984—PAGE 2 HOSPITAL (Continued from page 1) “There appears to be some changes going on over there for the better,” he said. “The petty complaints, criticisms and constant surveillance of the employees by the nursing supervisor have been sornewhat abated.” Nimmons said the hospital should address the lack of professionalism and comrhunication in the unit. The dispute began last week when employees informed Nimmons of rais- treatrnent of children and others in the department. One case involved a child who was not given medical treatment after she fell down in the unit. She was later taken to a doctor who discovered that the girl had suffered a broken arm. Another instance involved a nursing supervisor who employees say denies that .any problem exists in the facility or that matters have [been reported to him. \ Ginnie Ritchie, chief nurse in the division, told |The CAROLINIAN that she fwas unaware of any cases of child abuse. Ms. Ritchie denied that discrimination [took place within the cilfty. Ertiployees say that the iunit discriminates against Sbiack children because they •treat more white children than black children. Ms. Ritchie said that more whites are referred ot the fa^’iiitv than blacks. APPRECIATION (Continued from page 1) by Ideal Cleaners.

The CAROLINIAN offices are located at 518 E. Martin St. CLINIC (Continued from page 1) people come in and use the services to save money,” he said. “The clinic is not a prior ity for poor people. Putting food on the table is more important to them. Our clinic is geared to serve tlie underserved in the Raleigh and Wake County com munity.” CAMPAIGN (Continued from page 1) Candidates Forum To Be Held had were answered—fundraising, delegates, and just what was going on was summed up by the people that were involved. 1 really felt that what they were doing had been very well thought out. All that’s needed now is people power.” “I did get some posters last night and I’ll wear the buttons. It makes you feel good to look at my kids and see them aware of what’s going on—Jackson for president,” she said. Bruce Lightner, director of the Jackson campaign in the Fourth Congressional Dis trict, who now spends most of his time on the road and at the campaign head quarters at 1000 E. Martin St., calls his work in the campaign “the most exhil- irating experience of my life. “The enthusiasm and genuine posi tiveness of the Jackson campaign has no equal. “The biggest challenge in running a presidential campaign is keeping on hand enough printed materials, bumper stickers, buttons, etc., for the thousands of people who request these materials on a weekly basis. Financing a campaign is of course an ongoing challenge. It takes a tremendous amount of money to secure the needed materials, manpower and transportation for the campaign. We have been very fortunate to receive a tre mendous amount of support from com munity leaders, and especially the church community.” Ms. Pauline Frazier, co-chairperson of the Wake campaign, is at the headquarters up to 12 hours a day. She and Ms. Georgia McClain, office manager, perform many of the office operations. “We do the telephone calling, stuffing mail, planning strategy, working out diffi culties, telephoning, addressing en velopes, pulling together material and data that is needed, and general campaign Ive pints of blood in the average human body. WILKINS (Continued from page 1) that ensures service to all citizens of Wake County.” Wilkins claims no intentions, however, of using his position as a stepping stone to a higher political arena. He says he has no other political aspirations. “My intention is to serve the citizens of Wake County as the register of deeds and continue to provide the most ef ficient service in the state.” Tall words for one just short of his 33rd birthday. Straightforwardness and a no-nonsense approach are qualities easily recognized in Wake County’s register of deeds. These qualities by no means suggest a brazenness or inability to be flexible. Wilkins simply knows his mind and has no trouble expressing himself. When questioned on why he felt the position of register of deeds in the state was such a coveted position, he immediately exclaims, “I don’t agree that it has been a coveted position. I think I’m the first black register of deeds in the history of the state, partly because as blacks became politically active, this was one of the local offices for which we rarely became a candidate for whatever reason. Witness-Wake County not having a black sheriff since Reconstruction until John Baker.” Wilkins’ political involvement began while he was a law student at the University of Kentucky. “1 worked for a candidate for the House of Representatives there. After returning to Raleigh—more than five years ago— 1 became involved in Father Arthur Calloway’s campaign for City Council and Sen. Robert Morgan s reelection campaign.” Involvement in other political ventures followed. “During that time, 1 became involved in the Young Democrats of Wake County as well as Wake Men for the Advancement of Blacks, which of course, as you know, is one of the organizations that comprise the coalition of black organizations that make political en dorsements on election eve. I also became active in the Democratic Party.” Within two years of his involvement with YDWC, Wilkins was elected the organization’s third vice president. That same year, he was elected vice president of WMAB. The words “born politician” seem fitting. “During my first three years in Young Democrats, 1 recruited more than 100 blacks. Blacks have always been the most loyal Democrats ever. When 1 joined the Young Democrats, there were only three blacks on the membership rolls, therefore in my recruiting for the organization, I paid particular attention to increasing the number of blacks because there is no reason why we should not be playing a key role in this organization as we had and continue to have in all of the Democratic Party organizations in the county and state. Wilkins’ political record boasts of dedication to the Democratic Party. He has served as president of YDWC; supervisor. Phone Bank, l»82 Unity Campaign: campaign manager for State Rep. Dan Blue; and as a delegate to the county, state and district conventions from his precinct. Wilkins has been appointed to two boards by Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., and has worked on and participated in two films made by the Democratic Party. He is currently president of the WMAB. “I’m a member of every duly-organized Democratic club in the county.” On the May 8 primary, Wilkins says he expects a heavy voter turnout. “Given what has happened in the rest of the country on days they’ve had their primar ies.” He added that he feels black citizens of the county are becoming aware that there is a black candidate for the position of register of deeds. “But both I and this office suffer from an identity problem. For many citizens of this county, unless they use this office, for one reason or another, they don’t know it exists. Further, I’ve come across a large number of people who don’t know who the register of deeds is and don’t know this is an elected position.” In his campaign, Wilkins says there are not many issues to be faced. “The basic question is whether this office is providing good, effective service for the citi zens of Wake County. 1 think the answer is a resounding yes. Further, I think that’s the answer because I have an excellent staff, a very good rapport with all of the county commissioners and a very gocKl rapport with the major users of this office and other registers of deeds around the county. , . . . Wilkins attributes some of his success to his edu cational background. He holds a bac e or * ®8ree from Shaw University in political scienc - degree from Bowling Green State ' American government: and a law degree ro j-l. versity of Kentucky. “The work that I’ve done and the friends that I’ve made have a lot to do with tho supported me knowing 1 was a qualified and capable candidate and could administer this office in such a manner that the service to all citizens of Wake County would be nothing less than they have the right to expect.' DAMAGES (Continued from page 1) planning, and talking—running off at the mouth.” “It’s a full day. There are a lot of things that we have to do. It gives one a sense of accomplishment, pleasure in seeing things being done; and also disappointment and frustration.” Brad Thompson, who co-chairs the local campaign with Ms. Frazier, sees a bit of humor in the campaign effort from time to time. He remembers one lady’s comment on the apparent growing Jackson effort, “Jesse Jackson is acting like he is trying to be president.” Said Thompson, “The one thing is that the enthusiasm is escalating. Everybody was kind of avoiding Jackson like the plague. As we’re getting closer and closer, people are saying this is one of the best things that ever happened... providing a united front for black people, giving people something to rally around, a motivating process. It’s almost like a mission,” “I think that now even the traditional Democratic Party people are aware that with the kind of turnout needed to make anything happen in November, it’s going to have to be done with the kind of drawing power that Jesse has.” Pierre Melvin, voter registration and education coordinator for the Wake Jackson effort, involved himself in a political campaign for the first time this year. “Before, 1 always voted but expected everybody else to get things done. Politics is somebody else’s game, I would say. Now, every day I get into a constructive conversation with somebody about Jesse Jackson. By word of mouth I try to get the message out. I’m constantly thinking, 24 hours a day, about what’s happening in the Jesse Jackson campaign.” And that’s what’s happening in the Wake County Jackson campaign.

Our nation’s greatness must be measured by our ideals and principles—and how closely we approximate them. It must be measured by how we treat the young in the dawn of life, how we treat the poor in the pit of life, and how we treat the elderly in the sunset of life. “Why do I want to be president? 1. To help overcome the historic and current flaws in our democracy. I seek the Democratic nomination to peed the day when elections, gerrymahdering, annexation, second primaries and inaccessible registrars—and put pressure on all politicians in both political parties to address this issue. “5. I want to inspire hope in our young people and let them know that America can offer trem more than unemployment, dope, jails and the military. “6. I want to help change the present course of our nation. This administration has turned its back on civil rights and the poor, and the Democratic Party and its leaders have largely remained silent in the face of these onslaughts. 7.

In our democracy, we must put a floor under the neediest and most vulner able in our society, and we must remove the artificial ceilings imposed on a sig nificant portion of our nation’s leadership. Never again should blacks, Hispanics, women or Jews be denied the option and opportunity to achieve to whatever level our abilities will take us because of the artificial barriers of race, sex or religion. “3. Ours is a quest for a more just society ai d peaceful world. Domes tically, we must fight for equal protection under the law for all Americans, and in foreign policy, we must seek negotiations over confrontation and measure human rights by one yard stick. We cannot continue to call democracy majority rule in America and democracy minority rule in South Africa. “4.

The old minorities—blacks, Hispan ics, Native Americans, women, young people, poor people, old people, laborers, peace activists and environ mentalists—if we remain separated, we’ll remain poor and powerless. “8. I hope to offer our nation a new leadership option. We need leaders with vision of where they want the country to go. We need leaders who will speak with conviction and clarity on the vital issues of our day. We need leaders who are willing to mold public opinion, not just follow opinion polls. “9, I want to be president in order to reach out and serve the people of this country and the world in a more humane and just manner. “Lastly, as I reflect on this turn in the road on the journey from slave ship to championship, I know it is fraught with both danger and opportunity. The opportunity to run allows America and the world to see us at our best. Ameircan democracy does not guaran tee victory but it does guarantee opportunity. It does not guarantee us a perfect choice, only our personal choice. So I look forward with great hope... believing that God has not brought us this far to leave us.” EASTER BONNET SALE : ' ^ -.'In.
