[ft A High of
78.2 this Month
WASHINGION, D. C. -
The number of American ve
terans hit a high of 28.2
million this mont\ the Vete
rans Administraton an
nounced today.
The VA said the number of
living veterans is likely to con
tinue to increase in the fore
seeable future since the mili
tary discharge rate has been
running over 80,000 a month
and older veterans have been
dying at a rate of about
26,000 a month.
Of VA's 28.2 million vete
rans, some 25.1 million served
during a wartime period and
an additional 3.1 million
served after the Korean Con
flict and before the Vietnam
Era -- Feb. 1, 1955 to Aug.
4 inclusive.
Most of the million vete
rans now in training under
the post-Korean G. I. Bill
served during the Vietnam
Era (after Aug. 4, 1964
and this group also maues up
the large bulk of those now
applying for G. I. loans.
In contrast, these young
Vietnam Era veterans com
pose only 15 per cent of the
patients in VA hospitals, and
about 10 per cent of those on
the disability compensation
rolls.
Veterans who served after
Jan. 31, 1955, are eligible
for all VA benefits. While
time has run out for World
War II and Korean Conflict
veterans for G. I. Bill educa
tion benefits, unused portions
of home loan guaranty bene
fits have been restored.
Veterans interested in VA
benefits information should
contact their local VA office
or veterans organization serv
ice officer.
Your professional hairdresser
knows the answer...
Was haircoloring
first done in Africa?
Centuries ago in Africa (before it was explored by Europeans)
beautiful black women used herbs and other ingredients to change
the color of their hair. It was one way to complement their dark
rich complexions to accent their natural warmth and beauty.
Whether or not Africans were the first to use this method, no one
is sure Yot. they are among the first in terms of recorded history
to yo through the then-tedious process of coloring their hair.
Today changing your haircolor can be as quick and as brief as a
visit to your professional hairdresser. That's because many pro
fessional hairdressers use Miss Clairol" Hair Color to lighten hair,
to make slight color changes and to cover gray. Hairdressing ex
perts know that exotic blacks and browns are generally gorgeous
for darker skin tones. Golden or red shades are stunning for lighter
tan complexions.
Today black pride brings you closer to the cultural ways of your
African heritage. Haircoloring is a part of black history too. Ask
your professional hairdresser abcut changing your hair color with
Miss Clairol... and be more beautiful than you already are.

ment, and when they picked
me, they found they had a ti
ger by the tail...they really
didn't know what was inside
of me...1 was made to look
like someone else."
Singer Lena Home spoke
about her early image as a
black woman and how that
image is changing when she
was interviewed for a special
program on the black woman
on this month's "Black Jour
nal," Monday, May 31 at
9 p.m. on University of North
Carolina Television. (WUNC
TV, 4, Chapel Hill; WUND
TV, 2 Columbia; WUNE-TV
17, Linville; WUNf-TV, 58,
Concord, WUNJ-TV 39, Wil
mington).
In an interview with black
poetess Nikki Giovanni, Miss
Home described her own "re
cognition" of her blackness:
"Well I think...that since
Greensboro...and sit-ins, I was
able to flee my establishment
stereotype because young
people had freed me and I
think that since I always have
been what I am inside...l've
been able to survive...they
really didn't kill anything
black in me.""~" - *
She talked candidly about
her divorce and remarriage to
a white man and her ability to
survive, unlike other black
women in show business such
as Billie Holiday and Dinah
Washington. She concluded,
"...I think my background,
my people must have--1 find
migrations made by my great
great grandmother on both
sides...and they survived, and
it must be in us."
In another segment of this
"Black Journal" program de
voted to the black women, six
prominent women talk about
their role and the role of their
sisters in the black nation. In
cluded in the panel are: Verta
Mae Grosvernor, author of
VIBERATION COOKING:
Jean Fairfax, NAACP Legal
Defense Fund Lawyer; Mrs.
Martha Davis of Harlem Drug
Fighters Union and Bibi Ami
na Baraka, wife of playwright
Le Roi Jones.
BLACK JOURNAL is pre
sented on the last Monday of
each month by the Public
Broadcasting Service, and is
seen in North Carolina over
University of North Carolina
Television.
