Focus On
Wake Forest
BY ELIZABETH ARCHER
/w
Hello everyone, its anoutei murs
day, the really big day for me, it’s
"Paper Day" fact Is, every day fe
‘Paper Day’ for this okf gal. If I am
not writing, I am reading some type
of written matter.
Guess what tbougbTThe One thingl
find is more important to rand in
these troubled times, than anything
else is the Holy Bible. I’ve tried to
make it a habit to let that he the first
written words my eyes focus on upon
arising each morning even if its Just a
few wards, and I usually rand
wherever it opona to.
Today, the following words caught
my attention: “The of
foolishness is sin’’ Proverbs M:i.
Now you know why the whole world is
in so mugh trouble, don’t you? Well,
anyway I’d better gat down to the
business of trying to got caught up
with all of thoae notea I’ve taken.
Lately, I’ve tried to be smart by leav
ing my note pod at home, hut don’t
you know that it tuna out that ril
wind up with more scraps of paper to
try and keep up with. PogMUOl Thors
is just no winning. Wo aO know, or
ytmutH that this fall tt is time for
(local) elections to be held. You knew
how you’ve been romolatolau fo|ut
how “those old people” just won’t pay
any attention to the needs of your
community. Well now is the time to
fat yourselves registered, and (ten to
vote them out of office.
In Wake Forest, you’ll have a
chance to vote for one of your own
that you’ve known to be a good man
Ranald Francis Williams (Ronnie
Boy) to most of you, has annonced Us
candidacy for (TOWN COMMIS
SIONER) “We need to take a aeriotw
look at recreating a sense of hormony
hi our community’’ WUUams said.
“Wensed to make the majority of
C* « healthy man^'aSuo
beneficial for the entire Wake Forest
community regardless to what
“race” is concerned. I am naming to
make sure that our youth, are
brought into the imImih— &&
stop being mortaged and short

Williams said that he’d been a life
long resident of Wake Forest, and
was wilMng to put Us shsulder to the
Forest the type of town “that Shows
that Democratic Spirit, for the people
snd by the people”. Ronnie boy, as he
is known, Is currently a senior stn
25. Create order from chaos.
Organize your home and workspace
so that you always know exactly
where they belong, and you won’t
have to go through the stress of lost
Possessions.
A. Watch your breathing. When
ding stressed, most of us tend to
breathe in short, shallow breaths.
When you breathe like this, stale air
is not expelled, oxidation of the
tis ues is incomplete and muscle ten
sion frequently results.
Check your breathing throughout
the day, and before, during and after
high pressure situations. If you find
your stomach muscles are knotted
and your breathing is shallow, relax
all your muscles and take several
deep, slow breaths. Note hour, when
you’re relaxed, both your abdomen
and chest expand when you breathe.
27. Record your thoughts and feel
ings (in a journal, or on paper to be
thrown away); it can help you clarify
things and give you a new perspec
tive.
21 Try the following yoga techni
que whenever you fed the need to
relax: inhale deeply through your
nose to the count of eight. Then, with
lips puckered, exhale very slowly
thrash your mouth to the count of 16,
or for as long as you can. Concentrate
on the long sighing sound and feel
the tension dissolve. Repeat 10 times.
22. When the stress of having to get
a job done gets in the way of actually
getting the job done, diversion - a
voluntary change in activity or en
vironment - may be just what you
90. Get up and stretch periodically if
your job requires that you sit for ex
a.-1—n - -« ■
loxwa periods.
31. One of the most obvious ways to
avoid unnecessary stress is to select
an environment (work, home,
leisure) which is in line with your per
sonal needs and desires. If you hate
daoh jobs, don’t accept a job which re
quires that you sit ata desk aU day. If
you hate to talk politics, don’t
associate with those who love to.
91. Learn to live one day at a time.
99. Every day, do something you
really enjoy.
94. Add an ounce of love to
everything you do.
99. Talk it out. Discussing your
problems with a trusted Mend can
help dear your of confusion.
9R Focus on understanding rather
than on being understood, on loving
rather than on being loved.
37. Do something that will improve
your appearance. Looking better can
help you feel better.
99. Schedule a realistic day. Avoid
the tendency to back-to
back appointments; allow time bet
appointments for a breathing
99. Become more flexible. Some
things are not worth doing perfectly,
and some issues are well to com
promise on.
40. Eliminate destructive self-taft:
“I’m too ok! to...” I will never be able
to... “I’m too fat...”
41. Use your weekends for a change
of pace.
49. Take care of the todays as best
you caa, and the yesterdays and the
tomorrows will take care of
themselves.
49. Do one thing at a time. When
you are with someone, be with that
person and concentrate on nothing
she. When you are busy with a pro
ject, concentrate on doing that pro
ject and forget about everything else
you have to do.

Hampton, Va. to become effective
with the fall semester. Need I tell yon
Wake Forest, how important it is to
have a Black representative, in the
board of commissioners Franklin
County, where I live finally got one
last fall in the person of Dr. James
Hardy, a Lou is burg Dentist.
It was good to know that Mrs. Bulah
Boone, had such a bang-up time,
when she went "up North” to take a
tour with bar daughters, on their
church’s tour. Clara Mae Pride, who
lives in PMlly, (which was once my
town too) and her mom along with the
tourists spent two nights in Los
Angles Calif., 2-nigts in Las Vagas,
and Mexico, and on the return they
had a weeks celebration with another
daughter, Mary Atwater and husband
Walter. They’re in Plainfield, JJ.
and Nathaniel Boone, her son, is in
Newark, N.J. Mrs. Boone spent a
week in Newark, a week in
Philadelphia and a week in Sum
merset, N.J. with her youngest son
who is Dr. Sheri Leon Boone. Having
been gone from June 90th to July Mth,
she was glad to have the Atwaters
drive her back to Wake Forest from
N.J. and she was happy that her
daughter that she left home, Ms.
Bessie Boone snaw, ana a contain
Monte Morgan did Midi • food Job in
kroplng house. Welcome home Mn.
Boom It is good to go away, but It is
gnat to come home again. We all
know that feeling. Did I just tell you
something about catching up! I’ve
just taken the time to look through
just a couple of mvmanv many pads,
and would you know, I came across
notes that I took when 1 first started
in Wake Forest, that never got men
tioned. Why I wrote down some of
these things I really couldn’t tell you
in a hundred years. For example, Joe
Brodie, was born June 8, MM,
anyway a belated happy birthday,
Mr. Brodie. Next is: across from
Brodies Janice Jones, Raleigh off
Brighton Rd., son 8-year-old D. J.
Jones, he’ll be 7 on the 15th of Nov.
and little Deontry, 2-yeare-old. Tasha
Dunn, 9-years-old on March 8th. Now
that I have written all of that it is
beginning to come back to me that
Tasha is the young girl who always
comes up to me and asks “am I in the
paper today?” and I’ll say no dear,
but I’ll get you I promise. So here you
are Tasha Dunn, hope you March bir
thday was happy as well as D.J.’s.
Next I’ve written Alvin and Mildred
Dunn, and Edward Lee Hockaday, at
least I think I know Mr. Hockaday,
then I have to see next week Camilla
Fogg, East Walnut Ave. tar a paper.
I guess the only way I’ll ever men
tion everybody and everything is take
it page by page and get done with it,
huh? I have here Juanita Dent
Hopkins, two bothers (ill) Janice

breathtakingly beautiful! So there!
I’ve finished one page I hope that it
makee sense to you!
Just before I run out of space I must
tell you this time around about OPIO
and Mrs. Ellen Dowers, I did make it
to Wake Forest on last Saturday, July
86, to meet and greet everyone prior
to their taking off to march at the
Governor’s mansion. This time I
was impressed with the crowd.
Although 1 could not make the trip
that time, I did see it on TV. It was
great marching with them in Wake
Forest that time and even better hav
ing Ellen and the several adults and
many children to come to Franklin
ton on the foUowering day (Sunday)
to Allen AME Zion. As soon as we are
in our building, the church is being
renovated, we will have her to .otne
to us again, because the need it meat
thfi her story is told, and that funds
are made available to give the work
support.
I hope tbatTve said something that
is worth reading, and above all I hope
that each of you will keep aware of
the upcoming election this fall.
Prepare to Vote Wake Forest! I’U
see you later.

WILLIAMSTON
WHISTLINGS

Expressions of sympathy are ex
tended to the family of t$e late Ms.
Mildred White, C1B West Church St.,
Williamston. Ms. White was moved to
the home of her daughter, Evelyn,
and son-in-law, Roscoe Harris, and
carred for by them in Iter last few
years upon earth, from New York.
Services were conducted
Wednesday, July 24, at Mt. Shiloh
Missionary Baptist Church.
Ms. Novella Lloyd Rogers died
Wednesday, July 24, and funeral ser
vices were held Sunday, July 28. Ser
vices were conducted hy Rev. Hue
Walston at Cornerstone Baptist
Church on Warren Street,
Williamston. Professional services
were entrusted to Manson Mortuary.
Ms. Rodgers, the daughter of Ms.
Delia Lloyd, had recently moved
back to Williamston. Among her sur
vivors are her mother, two sisters,
Ms. Annie Lloyd Bryant, and Ms.
Margaret L. Peele, all of
Williamston, and a brother, Dr. Lloyd
of Greensboro.
We congratulate Ms. Kimberly Rid
dick, who will be leaving to enroll as s
freshman later this month in North
Carolina Central University,
Durham. Ms. Riddick graduated
from Williamston High School.
Ms. Clara R. Owens, West Church

from a niece, Marva, during the
weekend of July 24.

schedule to spend out of town.

and smiles.
The B&H Ladies’ Auxiliary Club
wishes to thank everyone who sup
ported their dinner on Saturday, July

Some folk are still asking about the
NAACP National Convention and
stating that they viewed television for
glimpses of the activities and were
greatly disappointed with the lack of
coverage. I simply replied, “We
didn’t discuss the issue they were in
terested in.” Our youth had a
beautiful ACT-SO program which
had its founder, Vernon Jarrett, pro
udly standing at the podium, in
troducing Percy Sutton and Ms.
Hazel Dukes dancing down the aisle
whenever a youth from New York
State or Region II received an award.
This was a time when fellow students
shouted, hugged each other and near
ly mobbed the contestant. It was a
time of Joy being expressed in its
fullness.
Seldom do these students get news
coverage, but they are out there
waiting to be nurtured and guided by
some caring adult. Those present
during this convntion are the most
fortunate ones because they have
already been shown how to reach
their potential in the positive way of a
^successful livelihood by parents,
'teachers and advisors.
There is so much to an NAACP con
vention that every branch should
have at least a dozen delegates to
report on the activities.
r Yes, I was excited, especially with
the ACT-SO program.

For a fair idea of the very best to be
found in that fantastic land, Portugal,
the place to go is the annual Lisbon
International Tourism and Trade Pair.
Portuguese food, handicrafts and folk
lore will be part of the festivities.
Outside the fair grounds, Portugal
itself offers miles of splendid beaches,
medieval cities, ancient castles, in
spiring cathedrals, museums stocked
with the wonders of the world, many
of them items brought back by the
courageous navigators of the 1 5 th and

Portugal U also justly
for its food, whether you
favor the flavor of the superb smoked
ham called prenmto or “caldo venk”
green vegetable soup, grilled sardines
or king-sized meat kabobscooked over

The country has unique art and
i
artifacts, excellent and exotic local
wines and cheeses, friendly people
with charming folkways and numer
ous festivals, a mild climate and ex
cellent opportunities for fishing, swim
ming and other water sports, plus
tennis, golf, riding and bullfights that
spare the bull. It seems safe to say this
fair land is a great place to visit with or
without the fair.
With the fair, called Bolsa dt
Turismo de Lisboa (BTL), it’s even
-better. The exposition will be held
January 8 to 12, 1992. In 1991, over
31,000 people went to the fair and
more are expected for 1992. Those in
the travel trade—airlines, hotels,
ground operators, tour operators, re
gional and local tourist boards, the
media and international tourist orga

the fair is open only to them.
