"His thinking parallels a lot of the thinking that I have read about concerning neo-conservatism ” The convention also addressed other problems that blacks face. By the turn of the century, some predict, 70 percent of black males will never have held a job. One in four young black males ir in prison, on probation or parole, and murder is the leading cause of death among them. “This is the community’s reponsibility,” said Kelly M. Alexander, Jr., the state NAACP president. “The black community is one large, extended family.” ACHIEVERS (Continued from page 1) Capitol Broadcasting Co., Mission Valley Inn, Premier Ford Mercury, Inc., Capitol Ford, Central Carolina Bank, Sun Microsystems, Durham Life, Deloitte and Touche.

CENSUS (Continued from page 1) times as likely as whites to live in poverty. •Black females over age 65 are the poorest of all age and ethnic groups. Of the 874 reported homicides in the city of Los Angeles in 1989, 374 of them were black victims. Tensions arise when the blacks see that the newcomers own the businesses, she said. “Cultural factors play a part," she said, “but it’s a societal problem. If the blacks were still working, there would be less tension.” Ms. Solomon, who is black, managed the development of the study. Political strength also is diluted when blacks live in widely scatterred areas, she said. “It is going to be absolutely necessary that the black community establish coalitions in the future," Ms. Solomon said. “We have problems that are shared by other groups. And building a coalition can compensate for political power lost on the basis of reduced numbers.” Relations between blacks and Koreans are particularly strained because of a rash of violent confrontations in Korean-owned stores in black neighborhoods. Korean grocer Soon Ja Du was convicted last week of voluntary manslaughter for killing a black teenage girl in a dispute over a bottle of orange juice. Since that shooting in March, two Korean merchants and two blacks have been killed in South Central markets, some of which have beep subjected to boycotts. The report noted that most businesses in black areas are owned by other ethnic groups such as Koreans so that the money does not stay in the black community. “Many African-American leaders believe that the estimated number of times » dollar turns over in the traditional African-American community is one time,” the study said. The rate that blacks participated in the labor force has declined steadily since 1970, the report said. The employment rate of blacks in 1970 was 83.3 percent. It declined to 69.1 percent in 1987-88. Authors of the report attribute this partially to the demise of unskilled manufacturing jobs due to widespread plant closures. BANK ROBBED (Continued from page 1) down the license plate number, Capt.

Some $736 billion worth of assistance is now available from the federal government through 1,183 programs. Now in its fifth edition, “Government Assistance Almanac” is a guide to federal financial and other domestic assistance programs. It covers grants, loans, insurance, personal payments and benefits, subsidies, fellowships, scholarships, traineeships, technical information, advisory services, investigation of complaints, and sales and donations of federal property. The work also provides comparative tables on funding for the last four fiscal years, with the 50 largest and 50 smallest programs for fiscal year 1990 highlighted. “The programs listed in the tables are now profusely footnoted to provide additional detail on the nature of funding,” according to J. Robert Dumouchel, editor of the almanac. Also covered in the “Government Assistance Almanac” are non financial programs, such as technical information, business and consumer advisory services, citizenship counseling, and the like. The 11,000 line index is now more user-friendly tan ever, with extensive referencing and cross-referencing. For ease of use, programs providing financial assistance are italicized in the book's index. A reviewer for the Wall Street Journal wrote about a previous edition of the guide: “Mr. Dumouchel has detailed at least one subsidy for virtually every human activity.” Says Dumouchel: “There are some very useful assistance programs for businesses, students, farmers, artists, researchers, the elderly, youth, and minority groups that I'm sure aren’t well known but that could be used effectively by more participants.” A Washington, DC resident, Dumouchel has worked wilh federal programs for 30 years, personally helping private developers, researchers, small businesses, municipalities, and non profit groups obtain and administer more than one-quarter of a billion dollars in federal contracts, loans, insurance and grants.

Ms. Hill Says Objecthw Achicwd NEW YORK - Anita Hill says she has accomplished what she set out to do despite Clarence Thomas' confirmation to the U. S. Supreme Court. Hill, a University of Oklahoma law professor, told The New York Times in a story published last Thursday she never expected to find herself in the middle of a political fight when she accused Thomas of sexual harassment. “I have managed in my own mind to separate out the idea of justice, justice being that something happens to an individual." Hill told the newspaper. "For me it is enough justice getting it heard. I just wanted people to know and understand that this bad happened."

A chemical emergency preparedness workshop was held recently to increase awareness of the law's requirements and to encourage compliance by companies affected. “The law is a very complicated one,” said Martin Chriscoe, chairman of the Wake County Local Emergency Planning Committee and director of Wake County Emergency Management. “The workshop helped us get the word out to more businesses that they may net be in compliance and could potentially be fined.” Approximately 677 facilities in Wake County have been identified as subject to the law, known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, or more commonly, SARA Title III, Chriscoe said. Many other businesses may need to report but are unaware of the law’s requirements. 1-1-r-1—I—I—r -j---1-T The Woman Who “Changed Business Forever” According to Inc. Magazine. Anita Roddick “has changed business for ever." Fifteen years ago, Anita Roddick was a wife and mother in Littlehampton, England. Today she heads The Body Shop, Great Britain's largest retail exporter, a company devoted to providing inexpensive, natural personal-care products. Aside from being one of Britain’s top busi ness women, Roddick uses her stores to spread the word about environ mental and social concerns. The Body Shop has cried out against animal testing, against destruction of the rain forest, and against'violations of hu man rights. In addition, the shops reduce, reuse and recycle waste when ever possible. The products sold in The Body Shop echo Anita's social and envi ronmental awareness. She uses her extensive experience traveling and her knowledge of indigenous cultures to incorporate age-old hygiene secrets into such products as vegetable soaps in endangered animals’ shapes, Bra zilian nut oils, and Moroccan rhasshoul mud shampoo. These cre ations, and all of The Body Shops’ products and stores, showcase the company’s dedication to end exploi tation while still posting profits. The result of this unconventional business ethic? For more than a de cade. The Body Shop has posted av erage annual growth of close to SO percent. With more than 650 stores internationally, The Body Shop has begun a push in the United States. There are currently 54 US shops, and more stores are opening here every week. Anita has chronicled her world* wide adventures and her uncommon business philosophies in her new book, Body and Soul (Crown Pub lishers), available at your local book store. As for her innovative products, you can discover these yourself by ordering a mail order catalog or vis iting The Body Shop nearest you. For information call 1-800-541-2535. “Some business owners assume that only large chemical companies need to file reports about their chemicals,’’ Chriscoe explained. “That’s not true. Many types apd sizes of businesses—from small paint companies to large commercial manufacturing facilities—are obligated to report under SARA Title III, depending upon the type and amount of chemicals they have on site.” More than 125 people attended the workshop, “Communications On Site-With Insight,” which was held at the Wake County Office Park. The workshop featured sessions on communications during an emergency, SARA Title III, new North Carolina fire code requirements and Wake County’s hazardous materials information storage box system. The workshop was sponsored by the Wake County Local Emergency Planning Committee and Wake County Emergency Management. Sara Title III requires all communities across the nation to form Local Emergency Planning Committees. Each LEPC is charged with developing and improving local emergency response plans with providing information to the public about hazardous materials. The Wake County LEPC is comprised 37 volunteers representing county and state agencies, law enforcement and fire departments, emergency medical and rescue services, hospitals, businesses, industries and the media. Citizens who are interested in the Wake County emergency response plan, chemical inventory forms, facility records and follow-up emergency notices, may call 856-M80 for an appointment.

Taxpayers Discuss Tax Revolt To Protest Unconstitutional Attack Against Nation of Yahweh Taxpayers are calling the People For Truth (PFT) to state “they got the mes sage” from the interview with the Na tional Tax Payers for Justice (NTPJ). The nation's tax base has learned — that elected official and their appoin tees are our servants — that as our servants, their jobs are dependent on our votes and our taxes—that we have a right to withhold our taxes from an unconstitutional government — and that we have the votes to replace ser vants who do not serve us or our con cerns; they can no longer ignore our voices and remain in office. One million of these voters, tax payers and concerned citizens of all ethnic backgrounds have signed peti tions demanding that the unconstitu tional indictment that labels the “Nation of Yahweh” as racketeers be dismissed now. If permitted to stand, this case could set a precedent against all religions under R.I.C.O. Our servants have spent and bor rowed us into a $345 billion national deficit, while they bounce personal checks that cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars in returned check fees. These are the same servants that are responsible for passing RJ.C.O. and Pre-Trial Detention into law. They must now know that the RJ.C.O. monster has gotten out of control and has become a national concern in its use against religions, as well as be made aware that Pre-Trial Deten tion has become a tool of the courts that can be applied as a punishment before any conviction in violation of basic human rights and the world’s greatest constitution. Our servants need to answer this question, “Why has Yahweh Ben Yah weh been held as a political prisoner for 12 months?" Could it be that he taught his followers ‘To do for them selves," and dared to build a $250 mil lion empire for African-Americans without government assistance? Con servatives, as well as liberals, can be proud of how Yahweh Ben Yahweh r /-'V % V- &\\ helped to avoid another demand on government spending. Yahweh Ben Yahweh is “The Point of Ught” in a troubled economy. He and his fol lowers of Yahweh have been held long enough for setting a perfect role model for all people to follow. Remember, we are calling our ser vants to demand the release of Yahweh Ben Yahweh and His followers until victory!!! Why is the US Government attacking YatmehBen Yahweh? Why does the government want to put an end to his good works? What if Yahweh Ben Yahweh is the Christ promised to return?
