By Kathy Spencer-Mention Lifestyle staff writer It would have been a quirk of nature for LaBarbara Sampson of Greenville to have been anything other than a woman dedicated to community service. She breathed that lesson early, growing up in a household where the words of black statesman Frederick Douglass were ingrained in her soul "Service to others is the rent we pay for living." Daughter of the first black attorney in Greenville, Donald J. Sampson a man who played a major role in dismantling the city's walls of segregation during the '50s and '60s Ms.

Sampson simply knows no other way of life. "That has just always been something that has been a part of the family: You try to give of your time," said Ms. Sampson, who is named after her mother. Keeping with family tradition, the list of offices Ms. Samspon has had at one point or another throughout her adult life reads like a book.

And the organizations and committees in which she has been involved are an addendum, having served in a wide range of civic, cultural, political and educational capacities. She has served on the board of directors of the Greenville Urban League and the Community Foundation of Greater Greenville. And she was the first black to serve in the office of president of the League of Women Voters, Greenville. Ms. Sampson, who is consultant for guidance services for Greenville County Schools, is one of four women who will be honored at that brunch March 3 at at Haywood Holiday Inn in Greenville.

Sampson for about 17 years. "She's a great friend to everyone and she has given so much of herself to her community," Mrs. Anderson said. It is for such revered characteristics, and contributions to her community that Ms. Sampson will be honored by the American Association of University Women, an organization which annually pays tribute to such accomplished women at its International Women's Day Brunch during Women's History Week.

Although Dr. Olivia Futch has been out of the spotlight as an educator for several years, her contributions to this area won't soon be forgotten. Her name Is I woven into the fabric of history at Furman University, where she served in various educational ca pacities for more than 40 years.

Lehman Boston Globe Starting March 1, the labeling on new boxes of tampons finally will mean something. No matter what brand you pick up, all the tampons marked "regular" will be roughly equally absorbent, and the same goes for those labeled "super" or "super plus."
