segment of white society. Re
cently a rather unusual black
backlash has been attracting at
tention and surprising a lot of
people.
I am referring to the second
look many blacks are taking at

cell anemia. After years in
which most blacks themselves
had never even heard of the dis
ease, it was suddenly on every
one's lips from the President on
down, and the rush was on, le
gislation, research, screening
programs, fund-raising drives--the
works. Blacks, and rightly
so, led much of the effort, in
cluding sponsoring the legisla
tion. So what's the problem?
It has several sides to it.
One is the confused distinction
between "sickle cell trait,"
possessed by carriers who in
most cases suffer no ill effects
but can pass the trait ori to
their children, and "sickle cell
disease," which can occur in
children when both parents have
the trait. Often the disease
which is serious, and the trait,
which is not, are lumped to
gether as though they were the
same, causing much needless
heartbreak and anguish among
those carriers to whom the tre
mendous difference has not
been made clear. It has been
reported that bearers of the
trait are encountering difficul
ties in being hired and in ob
taining insurance.

believed to have the sickle cell
trait and about one in 400 is
believed to have sickle cell dis
ease. A real concern is when
two trait carriers marry. Two
carriers must decide, shall we
marry? And if they decide yes,
shall we have children? The
odds are one in four that a child
of theirs will have sickle cell
disease. This is misunderstood,
too. If they have four children
the number affected could vary
from none to all four. But for
each birth there is a one in
four chance the child will have
sickle cell disease.
Another side to the problem
is legislation passed by several
states making screening for sic
kle cell trait mandatory for
blacks. Fears are that this legis
lation could be extended, for
bidding carriers to marry each
other, for example, or used in
other ways detrimental to black
people.
Sickle cell anemia is only one
of many genetically caused dis
orders. Others are cystic fi
brosis (more common among
whites) and Tay-Sachs disease
(most common among Jews).
It is pointed out that no laws
requiring screening for these
diseases have been passed or
even proposed.
The National Medical Asso
ciation and some leading sickle
cell specialists at Howard and
Meharry Medical Schools now
oppose compulsory screening
legislation.
The trouble is that screen
ing, research, education and
new methods of treatment are
vitally needed. It would ve a
tragedy if, after years of inac
tion, they were all to become
pawns in arguments and con
fusion. Strong leadership is needed
right now to steer a course
which will continue the progress
made thus far and to prevent,
the subject from becomming
a political or racist football,
in which case black victims
of sickle cell anemia will be
the main losers,.
Policeman
John Hunter, veteran police
officer for 14 years, has been
charged with the shooting death
of Amos Wilson, a kennel atten
dant at a local veterinary hos
pital. He was not on duty at the
time of the shooting. Accord
ing to reports the shooting oc
culted at a service station on
Guess Road.
It was reported that the vic
tim's brother, LeRoy Wilson,
and Hunter had stopped for
gasoline at the Aetna Service
Station. No reason as yet has
been given for the slaying.
Police reports say that Hun
ter shot Wilson with a 138
caliber pistol.
Wilson was a resident of
5801 Craig Road and was em

About Price Controls
Meeting with a group of concerned young students re
cently to answer their questions about inflation and price
control, C. Jackson Grayson, Jr. Chairman of the Price
Commission was asked why some prices, especially farm and
produce prices, were exempted from the controls.
Here is Dr. Grayson s
reply :
"They were exempted,
one, because they're difficult
to control and, two, we just
felt that in many cases it was
impossible to be equitable.
"What are you going to set
for the price of a used article?
How would I control the
price of a used suit or dress?
There's no way to set a price
for that, so we exempted
them.
"Food is the big one, and
that's the one that gives me
nightmares, particularly meat.
It's been shown that agricul
ture is one of the hardest
areas to control in any con
trol program, in Europe, else
where, or even in the United
States. It's the closest to true
demand and supply, where
the price is truly set by the
supply, and not by any artifi
cial forces.
"The reason for an in
crease in the price of meat is
the fact that there's only so
much meat to go around and
there's such a demand for it
that people bid the prices go
up. That truly is a demand
situation.
"If we interrupt that with
controls, you are very likely
to have shortages develop.
People will bid to get special
favors. This happened in
World War II. You end up,
therefore, with a system of
ration stamps.
"You get black markets
selling 'under the counter.'
You'd have all the problems
of getting broader and bigger
controls."
SINUSITIS-OR
Many medical authorities
claim that a true case of
sinusitis is less common than
supposed. However, in a sur
vey of :i,0()0 people through
out the U.S., more than one
third said they were troubled
by sinus-related problems, at
least occasionally.
The survey and facts about
"The Sinus Syndrome" were
discussed recently in an arti
cle published in a magazine
for pharmacists. Many of the
symptoms of sinusitis are sim
ilar to those seen in a severe
cold, the article 's au thor points
out.
The sinuses of the nose are
spongy bone structure in the
skull which are connected to
the inside of the nose. There
are the frontal sinuses (lo
cated behind each side of the
brow); the maxillary sinuses
(behind each cheekbone); the
sphenoid sinus (behind the
nose); and the ethmoid si
nuses (beneath both sides of
the bridge of the nose).
These sinuses are lined with
mucus membranes which con
lain minute tendrils that sweep
out accumulated mucus as
well as any dust, dirt or
germs that may find their way
into the sinuses. When the
sinuses become blocked pres
sure produces headache, post
nasal drip, difficulty in breath
ing, and sometime facial
swelling and pain.
What causes true sinusitis?
According to the article, pre
disposing factors include a
secondary bacterial infection
A BAD COLD?
following a common cold;
poor drainage of the sinuses
due to a deviated septum or
polyps; chronic rhinitis; gen
eral debility, such as follow
ing serious illness; exposure to
extremes in temperature and
humidity; emotional upsets;
acute changes in the intranasal
pressure; maxillary abscesses;
allergy; and exposure to air
pollution, chlorine from swim
ming pools, or excessive cig
arette smoke.
In an acute attack, there is
usually a fever and a physician
may prescribe an antibiotic
or a sulfonamide to control
the infection. To drain the
sinuses he may advise the use
of a tablet containing a de
congestant and antihistamine,
which may also contain an
analgesic.
Or, he may recommend the
use of vasoconstrictor nose
drops or sprays. A nasal spray
was judged preferable by a
group of physicians reporting
in an article for physicians.
The panel recommended
spraying with 'A-WK, phen
ylephrine hydrochloride(Neo
Synephrine). For children un
der six, a 'A Neo-Synephrine
spray was recommended.
Vaporizors, heal pads, in
frared lamps and towels wrung
out in hot water all help to
provide relief for some suffer
er.
True sinusitis is a poten
tially serious problem and
should be treated by a phyi-cian.
Plant Bed Covers Have
Both Good, Bad Points
North Carolina tobac
co growers are expected
to make more extensive
use than ever this year
of plastic plant bed
covers. Those who are
using this type cover for
the first time may run
into some problems.
There are advantages
and disadvantages in
using plastic as opposed
to cotton or cloth covers,
North Carolina State Uni
versity extension tobacco
specialists point out.
Air and soil tem
peratures are consid
erably higher under
plastic, both during the
night and day. This
higher temperature pro
motes faster germination
and plant growth, which is
considered a plus for the
plastic.
Another advantage,
the plastic cover costs
less than the cloth cover,
although the plastic
usually can only be used
once while the cotton may
be used twice or more.
The plastic has to be
used when the plant bed
is fumigated with methyl
bromide as nearly all
beds are so the same
plastic can be used for
the bed cover during the
plant-growing period.
There are two major
disadvantages In using
solid plastic covers.
First, excessively high
temperatures may dam
age the stand and growth
of plants. Second, since
water cannot penetrate
the plastic, a shortage
of soil moisture could
affect plant development.
The use of' solid
plastic requires more
careful management,
especially in regard to
ventilation and moisture.
Also, since leaching of
nutrients doesn't occur
under solid plastic and
low soil moisture results
in high salt concentra
tions in the root zone,
there is a definite
possibility of fertilizer
injury.
To minimize this
problem the NCSU spe
cialists suggest that the
fertilizer rate be reduced
Parents ShouldWeigh
College Alternatives
RALEIGH -- Don't
encourage your child to
go to college if there is
a better alternative for
him.
Your child might be
one of those whose
particular abilities and
needs would find more
opportunities for fulfill
ment in other places or
other schools, observes
Mrs. Faye Haywood,
extension family rela
tions specialist. North
Carolina State Uni
versity. Many parents may
feel that the college or
university is the best
choice for their child.
Some may even consider
it the only choice. For
many young people, the
college or university
does provide the needed
educational experiences
to help them reach their
goals, Mrs. Haywood
agrees. It would be a
real loss if they could
not move in this
direction.
There are young
people, however, leaving
for the college campus
every year because they,
or their parents, may not
consider that there might
be a better choice.
College does not offer
them the experiences or
the education that helps
them become the kind of
persons they want to be.
The campus becomes a
dead end, a place of
frustration or a lost
weekend.
What are the other
alternatives that are
worth consideration?
One might be the
world of work. A large
number of young people
need work experience to
develop some realistic
ideas concerning Job
expectations and their
own abilities. Others
may benefit by consider
ing other educational and
vocational Institutions
such as "secretarial and
business colleges, tech
nical schools, appren
ticeships or work-study
combinations.
Whatever the choioe,
your child should feel it
is his choice made on
the basis of several
alternatives and his goals
and abilities. Going to
college just because Mom
or Dad wants it isn't a
good reason.
Garden Time
Resolve to Make N. C.
More Beautiful in 73
By M. E. Gardner
N. C. State University
A good resolution for
the New Year. Each
citizen of North Carolina,
young and older, resolve
to play his of her part
in making North Caro
lina a more beautiful
state in 1973. This cannot
be accomplished by
garden clubs, alone, or
municipal governments,
alone, or by the state
governmental agencies;
but it can be accom
plished by the individual
efforts of all the Citizens
of the state.
Many times the
character of a family can
be judged by the
appearance of ahome.
Visitors can likewise
judge a town or city by
the appearance of the
homes, parks, factories
and warehouses. A well
landscaped industrial
plant or place of business
denotes officers and
employees as congenial
and efficient as their
pleasant surroundings.
With pleasant surround
ings you find, too, good
neighbors, substantial
citizens and a feeling of
community pride.
Real estate dealers
tell us that they can get
from 10 to 15 percent
more for a home if it is
well landscaped. The
plants become more
attractive as they grow
and provide shade and
color or whatever they
were selected to accom
plish in the landscape
scheme. If the neigh
bors match your efforts,
and they are inclined to
do this, the whole neigh
borhood will become a
more desirable place to
live, and your home or
business a good invest
ment should you wish
to sell.
Colorful flower bor
ders, ground covers,
well selected foundation
plants and trees for shade
and framing your home
all add up to enjoyment
and pleasure for every
one in the community.
North Carolina is one
of the most garden
minded states in the
nation. With more
individual responsibility
and enthusiasm, it can
also be the most
beautiful.
You may be surprised
to learn that the avocation
or hobby of gardening,
amounts to a whopping 4
billion dollars annually In
the United States. I think
the reason for this stems
from the fact that it is
something in which the
entire family can partic
ipate and that they will
need seed, plants, fer
tilizer, pesticides, tools
and power equipment to
do a good job.
Plant the flowers,
shrubs, trees, fruits and
vegetables that you like
best and those best suited
to your locality. Take
pride in whatever you do.
Remember, too, that a
beautiful lawn is your
weloome mat-
by 50 percent of that
normally applied where
cotton covers are used.
One way to reduce
risks of high tem
peratures and low soil
moisture is to use
perforated plastic cov
ers. One-quarter inch
holes about two inches
apart seem to be
adequate. Temperatures
will still be higher than
under cotton covers.
Some of the best
results have been
obtained by placing the
cover flat on the bed,
supported by a thin layer
of straw. About 15 to
20 pounds of clean wheat
or pine straw per 100
square yards has worked
well.
As a rule, plants
grown under plastic are
ready for transplanting
about 60 days after seed
ing as compared to about
90 days with cotton bed
covers.
A third bed cover,
nylon, is expected to be
used on a limited basis
in North Carolina this
year. This material is
porous enough to let air,
water and fungicides
through and does not
permit build up of
excessively high tem
peratures. Soil and air
temperatures under ny
lon are intermediate
between plastic and
cotton. Plants under
nylon will probably be
ready for transplanting
7 to 10 days earlier than
with cotton covers.
CREEPING GRASS
Metal or plastic
strips and mechanical
edgers can help keep
creeping lawn grasses
out of borders. North
Carolina State University
specialists also suggest
that certain approved
chemical sprays along a
narrow strip can be
effective for borders,
walks and drives. Cheek
with your county exten
sion agent on which
material to use.

WILBERFORCE, Onto --
The problem of too few black
students in the medical schools
of Ohio may be alleviated as a
result of the recent announce
ment that Central State Univer
sity will be one of three Onto
universities cooperating in the
establishment of a medical
school.
Central State University has
signed a pact with Wright State
University and Miami Univer
sity establishing guidelines for
an effort to gain legislative ap
proval and funding for a new
medical school which could
open by September, 1974. The
three state-supported universit
ies all are located in the South
west Ohio area.
Under the agreement announ
ced by Dr. Frederick White, ac
ting president of Wright State;
and Dr. Phillip Shriver, Miami
president, Wright State would
have administrative and finan
cial responsibility for the pro
posed medical school.
Central State and Miami
would have representatives on
the school's advisory board and
the president and trustees of
Wright State "in consultation
and with the concurrence of
the presidents of Central State
and Miami."
Rather than building a com
plete medical school complex
the proposal which will be sub
mitted to the Ohio legislature
in January calls for the new
school to use existing educa
tional facilities and hospitals
in the Dayton metropolitan area
The chief aim of the school
would be to train family-practice
physicians with an em
phasis on enrolling blacks, wo
men and other minorities. The
school would attempt to place
general practitioners in the in
ner cities, towns and rural areas
where medical services are most
needed.

Although Marine pilots firBt
took to the air in 1912, there
were no black aviators in the
Corps until about 20 years
ago. Today about one out of
every Mack Marine officers
is a flyer.
Among this growing num
ber are three pilots at vari
ous stages in their careers
who agree that the Corps of
fers experience, training and
prestige hard to find else
where. And, contrary to pop
ular belief, they all feel that
good pilots are made, not
born.
Only one, IstLt. Andre
Summers of Washington, I).
C, grew up wanting to be a
pilot. The other two, Capt.
Donald G. Ringgold of De
troit, and 1st Lt. Emerson F.
Carr of Minneapolis, were in
their late teens or early twen
ties when they decided that a
pilot's life in the' Marine
Corps was their thing.
"Flying had always been
my goal," says 25-year-old
Summers. "1 can still remem
ber the thrill I used to get
when my mother would take
me to the airport to watch
the planes take off and land."
Sumncrs was graduated
from Spingarn High School
in Washington where he was
senior class president, captain
of the football team and
president of the varsity club.
He is stationed at Cherry
Point, N. C, and is a co-pilot
of the huge and powerful
Hercules C-130 aircraft. The
c i'Mfa main Marine tasks are
aerial refueling of jets and
long-range transportation ol
troops or cargo. Tne plane

cruises at aDoroximately 400
miles per hour. It has a crew
