WlLLIAMSTON WHISTLINGS BY JOYCE GRAY WILLIAMSTON—Taking advan tage of the opportunity to pursue some extra educational training this summer is Williams ton High School rising senior Ms. Candance Bryant of Route l. On June 19, Ms. Bryant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William T. Bryant, enrolled at Bennett College, Greensboro, took a short break to visit folks at home on Saturday, July 1, returning to gather as much as possible in the following studies: computer science, oral communica tion, pre-calculus, chemistry and English. Classes are scheduled to end July 14, giving her a period to readjust for WHS opening. Plans are now in mind to enroll in Hampton University, Virginia, upon graduation next June. Ms. Bryant attends Cornerstone Baptist Church, does some singing during her spare time and is a member of the Martin County NAACP Youth Council. Master James Earl Williams, 5, spent his Fourth of July recuperating from a tonsilectomy. Years ago, doc tors would recommend plenty of ice cream. Don’t know what the newest method is. Looking forward to enjoying a much-needed vacation is Willie “Wink” Williams. Understand he desires seeing a brother who lives in Virginia. The race unity program sponsored by the Baha’i DTC on June 28 at E.J. Hayes Elementary School was titled “Race Unity is a Requirement for World Peace.” The message was delivered by Mary Lou Heimnick, who used Baha’i writings as her reference. She en couraged the audience in their strug gle for racial equality and justice. “When one stands alone for justice and truth, it affects everyone around him. It affects the world,” she said. “The world is at present in an ex ceedingly dark condition spiritually. Hatred and prejudice are tearing it to pieces.” Ms. Heimnick read from Baha’i writings: “All are descendants of the same Adam. Coilors developed later due to different climates. Be kind to all the human race.” Mary Lou Heimnick is a volunteer at the Baha’i World Center in Haifa, Israel. She also showed slides of the Baha’i holy places in Israel. The Baha’i faith was founded by Baha’u'UahNithe Glory of God). In 1863, Baha’uHlah declared that God sent him with a message of unity and peace to fulfill the prophesies in the Bible. Baha’i teachings include: one God, equality of men and women, educa tion, prayer, as well as racial unity. Humanity is maturing into adulthood. Now is the time to act with love, reason and justice—“To beat their swords into plowshares." Baha’u’llah was exiled and imprison ed in Akka, Israel. He is buried in that area and a Baha’i shrine marks his burial place. The Baha’i World Center where Ms. Heimnick is serving is on Mt. Carmel in Israel. The Universal House of Justice, nine men elected to serve as leaders of the Baha’i world, have their offices in Mt. Carmel. Sunday’s program was planned by Robert Lee Barnes, who was master of ceremonies. Prayers were offered by Reggie Bruce, Ms. Kali Hillas, and Ms. Mary Spires. Everyone was welcomed by Mayor Thomas Brandon and William H. Manson, chairman of the Martin County Board of Commissioners. Clarence and the Harmonizers sang two selections: “God’s Been Good to Me” and “God Has Set Me Free.” This was the 10th annual Race Uni ty Program held in Williamston, and Barnes offered thanks for the splen did turnout (about 80 people) and for the clear weather after a week of rain. Mary Lou Heimnick was from Whiteville before she went to Israel last summer. Her daughter, Melyn da Henderson, is a senior at East Carolina University in Greenville. Her son, John Heimnick, is in New York City in the United States Coast Guard. Getting ready for retirement due to health problems is Jack Roberson of Jack’s Service Station on Main Street.

Flaherty last week announced that Operation Fan-Heat Relief will begin its fourthyear of operation again this summer. Operation Fan-Heat Relief is a special emergency project designed to help elderly North Caroli nians cope with the summer heat. “Many elderly citizens do not have electric fans or air conditioners in their homes,” Secretary Flaherty said. “This makes them highly susceptible to heat stroke and heat exhaustion. These life-threatening situations can be avoided when our older citizens are able to keep cool through the use of fans or air condi tioners. “North Carolinians are urged to join in Operation Fan-Heat Relief by donating electric fans and air condi tioners or by making cash contribu tions to buy these items through one of the 18 area agencies on aging or their Council on Aging or Senior Center,” Flaherty said. Each year, older adults die from heat-related illnesses. Health of ficials say most of these fatalities could have been prevented. Already this year, North Carolina has experienced temperatures in the 90s. These high temperatures, coupl ed with high humidity, can inhibit the body’s natural cooling pro cess-perspiration. Assistant Secretary for DHR’s Division of Aging A1 Boyles says elderly citizens have a greater need for a cool environment during the summer. “Older people often have chronic health problems requiring medication which affects the body’s natural defenses for coping with heat,” Boyles Mid. "For example, diuretics, often prescribed for high blood pressure, reduce the amount of fluids in a person’s body and in turn affect the body’s cooling system. Cer tain tranquilizers and drugs used to treat Parkinson’s Disease also in terfere with perspiration.

The fans that will be collected and purchased through Operation Fan Heat Relief will be given to those elderly citizens who have the greatest need for relief from the heat. Other aspects of the program include hav ing volunteers who deliver meals to the elderly, home health aides and enure wur&era circuit uiuci uuxcjio for heat stress during hot weather. The state’s 124 Senior Centers will also be open to provide a cool place for older adults who lack air condi tioning or fans in their homes.

En route, I felt the briakneea of the rapidly moving air pumped throughout the tunneli to pre vent explosive gaaea from building up in the mine. At the digging aite, the air was roughly 5B*F year-round. I was mesmerized by the "Longwall” mining system. Them is a cutting machine spraying water with rotating cutters having protruding fingers, that rip off a wall several hundred feet long. The cut is roughly six feet high and six inches deep in a single pass. The coal drops onto a conveying system that looks like a sea of coal. Everyone stands downwind of the cutting machine to avoid inhaling coal dust. The men operating the coal cut ting machine wear respirators. Someone regularly checks for mine gases throughout the coal-cutting area. I did feel a bit uneasy knowing the ceiling was being held up by hydraulic ceiling plates while mining was in pro gress. Once coal is mined, the old ceiling is allowed to cave in as the conveyor system advances into the new space made available by the longwall mining into the coal vein. The mine superintendent, an old-timer, told me the min- • ing methods I witnessed were very different from what my grandfathers had used. As we returned to the elevator, I felt my grandfathers' spirits in the dark mine tunnels. As we ascended out of the mine, them was an anxious period. The elevator door only partially opened when we reached the main level. I merely waited patiently for the mechanics to repair it; This Osage mine experience did permit me to unders tand a bit about my father and grandfathers’ work worlds. I still keep my mine identiffcation tag in my briefcase to day as a memento of mv family’s emotional roots. VIEWPOINTS (Continued from page 4) can’t live on Social Security-alone that they am drawing now. Our senior citizens am the ones that have made the city of Raleigh, not our City Council.

Mom federal money comes into the Raleigh Research Triangle than aU the other research triangles in America. We all need to work together and freeze the national debt. Then balance our federal budget and that will stop all inflation with our national debt nearly S3 trillion plus the $4 trillion loaned to foreign countries which they do not intend to pay back makes $7 trillion and the financial world says America is worth $14 trillion, so we am halfway busted. , , We are facing the world’s greatest depression unless we balance our federal budget.
