fTO YOUR *
GOOD HEALTH *
By PAUL I. CORNELY, M. 0.
There's something very sad
and perhaps even fatalistic
about the way black people
accept death, and more im
portantly, sickness and health.
Even in the midst of a great
social-economic revolution
with unheard of breakthroughs
in job opportunities, educa
tion and economic advance
ment, black people still main
tain a "what must be, must be"
attitude where health is con
cerned.
Just out of curiosity |
asked some young militants
not too long ago what they
considered to be the most im
portant area for social change
I wanted to find out, from
them, what they thought was
important. 1 did and it wasn't
health
"l want a good job, a de
cent place to live, and food
for my family," was the typi
cal reply.
I imagine that good physical
and mental health had been
either taken for granted or
given a place at or near the
bottom of the list. For some
reason it is generally assumed
that if one has a decent job,
a roof over his head, and food,
good health will be automatic.
Not so! Some middle class
people I know, both black and
white, grossly neglect their
health.
A sound and healthy body
can no more be separated
from jobs, housing, and educa
tion than an astronaut can be
propelled into an orbit without
his spacecraft.
What good are jobs if you're
too sick to hold them? To
what advantage is a splendid
new school house if a child's
health is poor? And, just how

The residents decided to
take action to buck the system
and make it respond to their
health needs. The fight for
comprehensive health services
took about four years. They
recruited support from local
doctors, the D. C. Health De
partment, the Public Health
Service, the Office of Econo
mic Opportunity, and nearby
Howard University They
formed an organization and
called it the Community-
Group Health Foundation.
As a result of their fight,
more than 20,000 residents of
the Cardozo area will soon be
able to go to one clinic for all
their health needs, including
prenatal care, well-baby care,
and immunization.
The Cardozo residents rea
lized that health was a priori
ty and did something about it
The objective of this
column is to stimulate as well
as inform the community
about medical and health
needs. We will examine such
topics as Medicaid and "The
Crisis of the Black Medical
Professionals."
I will also tell you about
what is being done in other
communities to solve crucial
health problems and the type
of action you can initiate to
get better response to the
health needs in your neighbor
hood.

military service as well as for

Durham Auto
Salesman Earns
Surprise Bonus
Robert E. Jones thought he
was selling another Volkswagen
a few weeks ago when a "cus
tomer" walked into the show
room at Triangle Volkswagen,
Inc., and asked about a VW
Sedan.
Two weeks later, Jones
learned that his "customer"
was actually a Volkswagen
"mystery shopper," and that
for a sales delivery that mea
sured up to VWs exacting
standards. Jones' professional
salesmanship also earned a
SSO bonus for dealership sales
manager Fired Perry.
The program that brought
the two local men their sur
prise cash award was initiated
in March by Triangle Volks
wagen, Inc., and the 71 other
authorized VW dealers in five
mid-Atlantic states. An un
known "mystery shopper" -
in the guise of a typical, in
terested customer - will visit
each of the 72 VW dealers
looking for salesmen to reward
with a SIOO bonus for superior
sales performance. To win the
prize, VW salesmen must score
high on a rating list of more
than 50 different items, rang
ing from promptness and
courtsey to a properly com
pleted demonstration drive.
'Salesmen like Jones who
score high in their sales presen
tation also become eligible for
grand prize of SIOOO to be
awarded to the top-scoring VW
salesman at the end of the
year.
Jones, who resides in Hills
borough, has been a salesman
at Triangle Volkswagen, Inc.,
since August, 1965.
"Teenagers Are Not Children"
Says Family Relations Expert
RALEIGH Sometimes
adults get so baffled by teen
agers they find themselves ask
ing, "What do teenagers want
anyway?" According to
Frances Jordan, extension
family relations specialist,
North Carolina State Universi
ty, that question has a fairly
simple answer. Teenagers want
to be treated as teenagers -
that is, almost adults.
Teenagers aren't children,
even though they sometimes
act that way. "And," Miss Jor
dan adds, "Adults sometimes
act like children too."
When adults or teenagers
act like children it may be for
several reasons. Either they
never learned how they were
supposed to act, they don't
care enough to be mature,
their egos are threatened or
they are tired or wornout.
When an adult regresses,
several things may happen to
get him back on the right
track Ine law may force him
to change his ways A spouse
may help his mate grow up."
Or hopefully, the adult can see

for himself now he is behaving
and can straighten up on his
own.
By the same token, adults
can help a teenager to act more
mature. For example, they can
make sure the teenager knows
what is expected of him in
terms of behavior.
They can try to see the
situation from a teenager's
viewpoint. Maybe adults are
expecting more elegant be
havior than the situation de
mands. It is also possible that
the teenager is making his deci
sion on the basis of a different
set of needs. Maybe he thinks
he needs to act that way be
cause the rest of the gang Is be
having that way.

THE CROSS AND THE CHRISTIAN
Nothing will prove so helpful
to a Christam in overcoming S i«l '
as an appreciation of Christ's
death for sin at Calvary The Bi
ble teaches that:
1. The cross stands between
the believer and his SINS; the
wrong things he does, or is
prone to do. in thought, word
and deed
"And you. that were once ali
enated and enemies in your mind
by wicked works, yet now hath
He reconciled, in the body of His
flesh, through death, to present
you holy and unblameable and
unreprovable in His sight" (Col.
1:21.22).
"Christ died for our sins ac
cording to the Scriptures" (I Cor.
15:3).
"Who His own self bare our
sins in His own body on the tree"
(I Pet. 2:24).
2. The cross stands between
the believer and his SIN. It is
not only men's sins that keep
them out of heaven, but their
sin; not merely what they have
done, but what they are and would
do: not merely their deeds, but
their nature. But Christ's death
took care of this too.
