Picture this egg-coloring episode in color. That's what
doing with iter nanny iumuk lnstamaiic a-ou camera.
Spring is in the air and all sorts of new things are popping
out of their winter wraps-things like buds and babies, Little
Leaguers, fishing rods and golf clubs, Easter bunnies and
bonnets.
While all these springtime specials are fresh, keep a Kodak
Instamatir camera handy to record them. In color, of course.
Since the weather's tricky this time of year, be prepared to
use flash. On sunny days, flash lights up shadows that can spoil
snapshots; on dull dsys and indoors, it helps you catch the
action as it happens.
If you have a flash camera, take advantage of a special
spring picture-taking bargain. Between March 1 and April 30,
you wlH receive enough flashes (cubes or bulbs) for eight pic
tures if you mail proof of purchase of two rolls of Kodak color
film and two GE flash product packs to: GE Free Cube Offer,
P.O. Box 2596, E. Cleveland, Ohio 44112.
And here are eight springtime picture-taking ideas for your
eight free flashes
1. The children coloring and hunting for Easter eggs.
2. Easter or Passover dinner being prepared or eaten.
3. The family leaving home to worship together.
4. Your minister or rabbi chatting with a member of the
family.
5. The first spring flowers from the forsythia branches you
brought into bloom indoors.
6. A child outdoors in rain togs on a wet day.
7. A child V eye view of a birthday party or any other festive
occasion.
8. The youngest child with a young animal at home, at the
children's zoo, on a farm or in a pet store.
One of these springtime flash pictures might turn up next
Christmas on your family's photo-greeting card. In any case,
keep your camera, film, and flash with you for a picture story
that will always say "Springtime, 1973."

IT'S A POOCH OF AN IDEA
Label-conscious consumers
insist unknowing exactly what
they're getting when they
buy dog food nowadays. Now
not only are all the ingredients
listed on the label, but the
directions are spelled out as
plain as day. And Champion
Valley Farms goes one step
further in telling dog owners
how NOT to use their new
Recipe Brand product. Mixing
Chunks. Since Mixing Chunks
is the first and only product
made just for mixing with
dry dog foods, the label on
the can clearly states that
Mixing Chunks should not
be served any other way.
What makes Recipe Brand
Mixing Chunks unique is that
it's the only all-meat product
made especially for mixing
with dry dog food, just like
the label says.
Independent research has
indicated that 73 percent of
dry dog food is mixed with
something else before being
served. Sometimes it's scraps
from the dinner table, which
don't have all the nutrients
dogs need. That's why new
Recipe Brand Mixing Chunks
give every dog his day by
adding nutrition as well as
the taste appeal of real meat
to your dog's favorite dry
dog food. They're the best
thing that ever happened to
dry dog food.
Available in 14'A - ounce
cans, the Recipe Brand Mixing
Chunks come in three varie
ties: Beef and Meal By-products
in Beef Gravy, Chicken
in Chicken Gravy, and Ribs
of Veal and Liver in Brown
Graty,' '
By simply adding Mixing
Chunks from the can the
dog-owner can now make cer
tain his or her dog gets the
meat it enjoys. The gravy is
designed to blend readily with
the dry food and adds the
appetite appeal of real meat.
N iff t.

The Recipe Brand Mixing
Chunks are only for mixing
just like the label says. Mixing
chunks fill a void which pre
viously existed in the pre
pared dog food field, accord
ing to John R. Morris, Pres
ident of Champion Valley
Farms, Inc.
"A continuing problem
among dry dog food feeders
has been satisfying the desire
to add the nutrition and taste
appeal of real meat to the
dry foods. With less and less
meat leftovers available in
more homes, and the added
cost and inconvenience of
purchasing raw meat separate
ly for this purpose," Mr.
Morris noted, "dogs have at
times not received a meat
ration."
Now they can. Recipe
Brand Mixing Chunks blend
smoothly and quickly with
dry dog foods, adding not
only palatable moisturizing
ingredients, but nutrition and
flavor as well.
ECOLOGY IS CHILD'S PLAY
"Parents should realize
when they throw away junk
mail, they're robbing their
children of an inexpensive
and ecological toy," says Dr.
Henry L. Harris, noted pedia

network to answer medical

High Blood Pressure Knows No
Age - But Has Color Preference
Pediatricians may soon be
taking blood pressure readings
a routine part of physical
examinations.
Although high blood pres
sure it usually found In per
sons over 19 yean old, child
ren with a family history of
essential hypertension are at
increased risk of developing
the condition, Junes L. Rey
nolds, MD, President of the
Louisina Heart Association, reports.
There is increasing evidence
that essential hypertension is
set in childhood, perhaps dur
ing the first two years of life,
or even before birth, according
to an article by Dr. Reynolds
of the Louisiana State Medical
Society.
"It cannot yet diflnitely
be said that it does begin in
childhood," be says, lut'ejit
eludes that "blood pressure
measurement should, indeed
be routine put of childhood
physical examination."
Most researchers agree that
high blood pressure runs in
families and that heredity 1s
a major determinant of essen
tial hypertension.
Sex and race factors influ
ence the development bf the
disorder.
More women have it, but
it is more severe In men.
"It Is the major health prob
lem faced by black Ameri
cans. says Jeremiah Stamler,
Md, professor and chairman
of the department of medi
cine at Northwestern Unhr er
sity, Chicago One hundred
out of every 500 blacks have
high blood pressure.

Dr. J. Frank Yeager is Chosen
County School Superintendent
Dr. J. Frank Yeager, now
a deputy Superintendent of

fill the position of retiring
Charles H. Chewning, Durham
County school superintendent
for 21 years. Mrs. Patricia

May 8, after screening some
43 applications entered for the

Approximately 50,000 pupils
and 75 schools come under

Presently, the population is
about half black and half
white.

personnel that he knew very
little about the Durham Coun

out preconceived opinions. He
said he plans to spend the
first year getting to know the
schools, the staff and the com
munity and seeking to identify
problems.
The new superintendent said
he believed in "an open door
policy" and he promised that
he would be accessible to the
constituents. Parts of a letter
of recommendation from the

RALEIGH--Freedom, free
dom, freedom is expected to

when Congressman Parren J.
Mitchell, Baltimore, Md., key
notes the Freedom Fund
Bally of the State Conference
of NAACP Branches.
Kelly M. Alexander, state
president, sent out a clarion
call to all branches, saying
that this year's gathering of
mothers from throughout the
state, must be the largest
ever held. He based his opi
nion on the fact that the NA
ACP needed money now, in
its relentless fight for free
dom, more than ever.
The mothers will be special
guests of the meeting. They
will report the monies, col
lected by them, for freedom.
A new feature has been add
ed as an incentive. Since the
beginning, in 1957, there have
been added features. There
was a time when the State
Conference gave the winning
mother an all-expense trip to
the national convention. In
an effort to give the smaller
branches an opportunity, the
contest was divided into big
city and smaller branch sec
tors, with a trip to the win
ning mother from both divi
sions. This year, the runner-up,
in each division, will receive
a $100.00 savings bond. This
means that more branches
will participate. Many of the
branches have several moth
ers working. The mother that
is named "Mother of the
Year," in each branch, will
go to Raleigh, on May 20, and

A RECENT BENEFTf Af
FAIR, held in Westbury, N.
Y., and sponsored by the New
York State Conference of NA
ACP Branches, was also a
tribute to veteran comedian,
Redd Foxx, star of TV's "San
ford and Son." Highlight of
the program, on which a num
ber of top-flight entertainers
appeared was the presenta
tion of an NAACP Life Mem
bership to Mr. Foxx by Ossie
Davis (right) who is a mem
ber of the NAACP National
Life Membership Committee.
In the background is Pigment
Markham.
Anne M. Young, the auth
or, attributes the workforce
differences to several factors:
"Relatively more, of the
Negro than white families
had pro school children, which
restricts the possibility of
work outside the home. Only
a third of Negro women who
head families had at least a
high school education, com
pared with slightly more than
half of the white women who
were family heads in 1971.
With the increasing 'creden-
tialism' in recent years, the
lack of a high school diploma
or other certified training
was at least a partial barrier
to the employment for these
women."
