MRS. BEATRICE MAYE’S This Week In GREENVILLE RECIPE FOR SELF-RESPECT: TRADE IN SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS “I am flat broke from overspending at Christmas, but I need to go shopp ing again soon because I am com pletely out of self-respect. I’ve said a few things I wish I could take back, and I am not feeling very good about myself. “I also want to exchange a carton of self-righteousness for an equal amount of humility. I hear it is less expensive and it wears better. And while I’m at it, I’m going to check on tolerance and see if there is any available in my size. “I must remember to try to match my patience with the little I have left. I was told the same department has a repair shop for mending integrity. Mine has become frayed around the edges from too many short-cuts and too much compromising. If I don’t get it refurbished, there won’t be any left. “I almost forgot the most impor tant thing of all—compassion. If I see some, no matter what the color, size or shape, I’m going to stock up heavi ly, regardless of the price. I haye run out of it so many times and I always feel ashamed when it happens. “I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get around to shopping for these items. They don’t cost nearly as much as some of the frivolous things I’ve bought on impulse, and I’m sure to get a lot more satisfaction from them. “Yes, I am going shopping today, and I can leave my credit cards and checkbook at home. The thing I am looking for have no price tags." —Ann Landers KIDS AND DRUGS (Facte From the Experts) 1. Teenagers say drugs are the most important problem facing them today. 2. Alcohol, despite public ap pearance of its moderate use, is a drug, one that’s particularly dangerous to children. 3. The drinking habits of parents significantly affect the children’s feelings about drug use. 4. Even for the rehabilitated drug abuser, saying no to drugs is a day by-day, moment-by-moment strug gle. 5. During routine examination, parents should consider having the teenagers tested for drug use. 6. Our society encourages the use of chemical substances to help us through the stresses we face. 7. Eighty percent of teenagers want parents to be clearer and firmer about taking a stand against drug use. 8. Even when kids keep their drug habits a secret, they often want to be found out, and helped, by parents. 9. Drug abuse is a treatable, curable problem. Parents should not lose hope. These greatly influence your life: Family, spiritual values, a good home, rewarding and satisfying work. These expand your pockets of health: Healthful food, lifelong learning, good health habits, exercise, hobbies Rhamkatte ft BY LUCILLE ALSTON RHAMKATTE—Church School opened at 8:45 a.m. with all classes reporting. The assistant superin tendent, Elnora Singletary, presided. The subject of the lesson was “Moses Leads the Exodus,” Exodus 14:10-18, 30-31. The key verse was repeated by the school. Rev. Shirley Decosta taught the adult class. Classes had a 45-minute study period, then the lesson was reviewed by Ms. Singletary. After the report by the secretary, Nikki Kearney, the school closed. At 10 a.m., Rev. Milton Battle ■poke from John 4:9-10 on the topic, “Do You Know Who I Am?” Music was furnished by the Gospel Choir, with Rev. Kenneth McNeil at the organ and piano. Usher Board No. 4 was on duty for the day. They lifted the offering and tithes. Sister Singletary gave the morning prayer. Announcements were made by Sadie Chavis. Mini-church was led by Lee Nipper. Altar call came from Rev. Decosts. Rev. Battle left the congregation with a message on how a Christian must live to be able to answer when God calls. He asked, “Where woe you when I laid the foundation?” I have that living water. When the word hits you, you need to know the tree of life. It win knock at your door. You must step out on faith, believe; then’s nothing like the power of God. Invttatton to Christian discipleship was followed by the closing. ANNOUNCEMENTS H Rev.r. and interests and friends. Your home and family are of the greatest importance. They make up the important central arena of your life. If you get a regenerative ex perience going within your home and family, you have thfe best possible base to move out and expand into the wider area of community regenera tion. How do you start? With the TV set. Use it much less. Watching television immobilizes people. Keeps them still and passive. And uses up a vast amount of time that could be much better used in regenerative activity. Sure, there are some fine programs on TV. And yes, TV watching is not nearly as bad as some of the other degenerating things people do to themselves. But you’re going to need some of those hours spent sitting wat ching TV to get the regenerative juices of your family flowing freely. One way or one approach is to schedule a non-TV evening, and plan specific regenerative activities to All that time. For example, you may want to invite friends in for a story telling hour night, or take an evening walk with your family. Or read aloud or play some games together. Remember all the family-centered things people used to do before TV came along. Bring some of those gold ideas back into your life. SPIRITUAL VALUES 1. Make a list of your spiritual values, what is most important to you. Are you satisfied that you are living up to them? If not, how can you change for the better? 2. Make a list of all the good things about yourself and the things you would like to improve and have the capacity to improve about yourself. Start one by one. 3. Do something for your neighbors. Shovel their walk in the winter. Share the bounty of your garden in summer. 4. Practice hope. The next time you find yourself thinking negatively about a situation, find the good aspects of it instead. GOOD HEALTH HABITS 1. Schedule a weekly pampering session for yourself—take a bath or shower in candlelight, cleanse your face with steam, moisturize your skin with olive or coconut oil. 2. Eat in-season fresh fruit every day. 3. Substitute herb tea for coffee. Plant mint in your garden, and make your own tea out of the fresh mint. 4. Give a friend a massage. Give yourself a massage. 5. Limit red meat and fried foods to once a week, if that. 6. Say hello and smile at everyone you pass on the street. FRIENDS 1. Invite friends over, turn on your favorite music and dance. 2. Make a wonderful dinner, and take it to a friend’s house to enjoy together. 3. Get together with friends, and go for a bike ride or a walk, or cross country skiing. Have a picnic after ward. 4. If a friend is feeling blue, take him or her flowers from your garden or a card vou made yourself. does take care of His own. We are sorry to hear that Ms. Margaret Kearney is in Wake Medical Center. The Rhamkatte community is in sympathy with the Hughes family in the passing of Ms. Hughes’ mother, Ms. Grant, whose funeral was held July 9 in Fayetteville. We say to the family that we are praying for you and God is still in the healing business. Clintfor* BY AM.

She Three Stepe to Manage Your Ulcer Although it can be a literal “pain in the gut,” ulcers are no longer as painful or as difficult to live with as in the past. Doctors now prescribe medications that give quick, safe relief. They also advise their patients about positive lifestyle changes that may make it easier to live with an ulcer. Today, living with your ulcer can be as simple as one, two, three. Step One — Modern Medications Doctors now have a choice of several effective medications for their ulcer patients. Most of these drugs act by reducing acid in the digestive tract. Another agent, Carafate, does not enter the bloodstream. Instead, it works to help heal the ulcer by enhancing the body’s own healing process. For patients on several medications and for the elderly, many physicians prefer such a non systemic drug. With modem medical treatment, most ulcers heal in six to eight weeks. Step Two — Listen to the Doctor You can be a great help to the doctor. “If a patient gives the doctor the whole story and then takes the doctor’s advice to heart, the treat ment will be much more effective,” said Dr. Gordon McHardy, emeritus professor of medicine at Louisiana State University. “When ulcer symptoms flare up for having the largest family present.

MARCHES (Continued from page 11) support for Hie Democratic nominee and vote independent far Dr. Fulani in November. Dr. Fulani, the first African American woman ever to receive - tjjyj again during .treatment, the first thing we look for is failure to take the medication or to stop smoking,” McHardy said. As with many dis eases, the pain in ulcer disease will usually be gone before the ulcer itself is completely healed. “Too many patients will stop taking their medi cation when the initial symptoms go away," he added “It is vitally impor tant that all medicines be taken until finished or your physician tells you to stop taking them." Step Three — Positive lifestyle Changes Doctors give patients basic guide lines for living with their ulcers. These guidelines are usually fairly easy for the patient to follow because they are simple doe and ddn’ts. Usually the “do” side of the list will include such activities as eating a normal balanced diet, avoiding spicy foods, and limiting intake of coffee and colas. On the other side of the list, a doctor will advise his patient not to smoke or use excessive amounts of alcohol — all known con tributing factors to ulcer flare-up. Unfortunately, there is no cure for ulcer disease. While most ulcers can be healed without difficulty, the old saying, “once an ulcer always an ulcer” still holds true for most ulcer patients. But if you follow the three steps of ulcer management, you can reduce your chances of recurrence and live a normal life, even while you do have an active ulcer. social vision of the Rainbow. Dr. Fulani has urged that sup porters of Rev. Jackson must be prepared “to cost the Democrats the election” if the party continues to take its most loyal constituen cies—including African-Americans, Native Americans, lesbians and gays, and environmentalists—for granted. “The way to force the Democratic Party to respond to our agenda Is by withholding our votes. If they don’t support us, we won’t support them.” Buses will be leaving from foe Heritage Shopping Center on Fayet teville Street in Durham on July 19 at 10:30 p.m. and will return late even ing on Thursday, July 21.
