W. P. EDWARDS
When "Ma Ola" wrote home
and mentioned that it would
be wonderful if a Family
Reunion could be arranged
while she was visiting the old
hometown, she had no dreams
that the suggestion would be
met with more than a nodding
acceptance, or, a promise that
nest vear will be a better year
for "flushing out" the
multitude of relatives
throughout the land.
First of all, the grand-dame
had no idea that her suggestion
had been casted in the channel
of good timing and was readily
swept into the floodgates of
good fortune This is the
season of Family Festivals and
the spirit of breaking bread
.together is high on the social
list of many Durham ites.
Therefore, "Ma Ola's"
suggestion was met" with more
than good natured dissedence.
Plans for a "One Part"
Family Reunion was
blueprinted immediately and
carefully labeled "secret
element-of-ma-Ola's" vacation.
Mrs. Ola Hargrove motored
down from Dorchester, Mass,
with her grandson Joe Decatur,
jr. The July heat wave had
reached the noonday peak when
Joe's station wagon parked in
front of the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert Ransom of Hamlin
Street. Mrs. Hargrove stepped
out of the car, Daisy fresh. If
the Family Reunion had been
hi progress, ah was ready to
meet the people. But,
unbeknowst to her reunion,
still in its prepartory stage, was
a week off. The sparkle in her
dark, penetrating eyes betrayed
her great joy at being home
"once more and again."
In no time flat, "ma Ola"
was swamped with invitations
from friends and relations to
be special guest at small supper
parties, coffee Matches or a
dinner party: Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Holman of Gray
Avenue, Miss Julia Harris (her
sister), Mr. and Mrs. W. P.
Edwards, Sr., Mrs. Jessie
Summerville; her stepmother,
Mrs. Lizzie Harris; a brother in
Fayetteville; Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Allen; and, naturally,
"Joe, Jr."
Mrs. Hargrove loves people,
enjoys traveling-by car, bus or
airplane-she remembers names
and faces; enjoys telling a good
yarn and will laugh
demurringly upon hearing a
good story; a true Christian
and is a dedicated church
worker at People Baptist
Church in Boston, however,
she lives with her daughter,
Mrs. Margaret Decatur, Joe
Decatur, Sr., her son-in-law, at
165 Harvard Street,
Dorchester, Mass.
. To culminate an already
joyous vacation, Part I of the
Edwards' Family Reunion
began unfolding.
The home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. P. Edwards (Pratt) of 1207
Hazel Street was the gathering
place for the Edwards'
germane. And "Ma Ola"
donned her prettiest smile and
formed her own reception line
to greet the arrivals one and all.
A Saturday afternoon
cookout was the pacesetter for
the main event of the reunion.
Food, family joshlings and
excellent weather were natural
inducements for a return
engagement-Family Dinner oh
Sunday.
The cookout included
charcoal grilled steaks,
hamburgers, hot dogs, potato
chips, soft drinks and Eastern
Carolina watermellons; happy
children and proud parents.
Sunday morning was a
crystal-clear day filled with the
ssasptciousness of a salubrious
day ahead for the Edwards'
household and kinfolk ; though
miles apart, were, together
heart to heart.
Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards was
the hostess for this sacred and
festive, semi-formal occasion
and, as usual, our gracious
hostess left no detail to idle
that might contribute to the
health, happiness and welfare
of everyone in attendance of
Part I of the Edwards' 1973
Family Reunion.
A color scheme of green and
white set the stage for an
assortment of garnished
bowles, platters, trays and
covered dishes: sparkling
crystal reflected the beauty of
the gleaming green and white
table setting.
Soft music in the
background was a framework
for the happy greetings and
merry laughter of the
adults- and the finger popping
of the starry-eyed children.
Part I of the Edwards
Family Reunion was a huge
success and many thanks are
extended to afl who
contributed to this Family
Festival:
Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Edwards,
Mrs. Ola Hargrove- Dorchester,
Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. W. P.
Edwards, Jr. and daughter
Wendy-Atlanta, Ga. Mr. and
Mrs. John Wilson Edwards and
children: Brain and Robin; Mr.
and Mrs. Clark Witherspoon
and children: Marsha, Anita,
Loria, Joyce; Miss Julia Harris,
Joe Decatur, Jr., Miss Elmira
LeGrand, Mrs. Minnie Fikes;

Kenyan Gov't Bans Asians from
Trading in Their Country
NAIROBI - (NBNS) The
Kenyan government has
banned more than 1,000
businessmen, most of them
British citizens of Asian
descent, from trading in this
country.
Announcing the
government's decision, which
had been reported by the
National Black News Service
more than six months ago, was
Commerce and Industry
Minister Julius Kiano. He
pointed out that highly
specialized businesses had been
exempted and said care had
been taken to avoid confusing
Asians who are citizens of
Kenya and non-citizen Asians.
The merchants have until
August 15 to appeal the
decision and until December
81 to close up their businesses,
according to the
announcement.
The move by the Kenyan
government, which follows
that of the Ugandan
government months ago, was
made in an effort to Kenyanize
the economy, a policy which
has bean consistently referred
to by President Jomo
Kenyaita..
According to the
government, a total of 1,100
businesses are affected, 466 in
the capital, and others spread
throughout the country.
Last January, 400
non-Kenyan Asians had their
business licenses withdrawn by
the government.
Minister Kiano told
reporters that the majority of
those affected were Asians
holding British passports, but
he refused to give the exact
number involved.
In the future, according to
Kiano, foreign businessmen in
Kenya and abroad will have to
ask Africans to represent them
and distribute their products.

Choriocarcinoma
Advance Made
n China For
Treating Plague
PEKING (HSINHUA) -
The Capital Hospital of the
Chinese Academy f Medical
Sciences has made significant
progress in using chemotherapy
to deal with choriocarcinoma a
highly m a I i g nan t
gynaecological tumour. ,
The special unit set up by
the hospital treated 296
patients from 1958 to 1970
and brought, the mortality rate
of this disease from som 90 per
cent in early post-liberation
days down to 29.2 per cent.
Up to 1972, two-thirds, of
the patients discharged
survived more than five years,
one-sixth more than ten yean
and three patients more than
14 years. They all recovered
their health and went back to
work.
The hospital has used the
same method to treat
chorioadenoma destruens
(malignant mole) to good
effect. Less malignant than
choriocarcinoma, this disease
easily develops into it. Of the
312 cases of choriocarcinoma
destruens the hospital
admitted, the mortality rate
dropped from 25.9 per cent in
the early post-liberation period
to 1.8 per cent in 1970 and no
patient has died since.
Both diseases occur mostly
among women of childbearing
age.
The hospital has more than
20 yean of clinical practice in
treating the two diseases and
has found six specially
effective drugs. Two of these
are 6-mercaptopurine and
5-fhirouraciL which have been
used for some time in other
countries for temporary
alleviation of other malignant
tumours. The Capital Hospital
administers them in large
concentrated doses. Another is
Kengshengmycin, an antibiotic

EEOC To Sue
Companies for
Discriminalion
WASHINGTON - (NBNS)
The Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission has
filed lawsuits against several
firms, including a television
station and a newspaper,
charging them with
discriminatory practices against
blacks.
In a suit filed in Tennessee,
the EEOC charged that
WREC-TV in Memphis, which
is owned by the New York
Times, discriminates against
blacks and women in
recruitment and hiring
practices.
The Memphis suit was the
first by the agency against a
television station, officials said.
EEOC contends that the
Memphis station maintains
"sex and race segregated
departments and job
classifications."
In another suit, the agency
claims that blacks are
discriminated against in the
application and apprenticeship
programs of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer, morning
newspaper woned by the
Hearst chain.
Each of the suits ask federal
courts to halt the
discrimination and Implement
'a program of compensation
and affirmative action to
reform company and union
policies.
An iron works in
Birmingham, a paper mill in
Cleveland and the Purex Corp.
m St. Louis were also charged
with discriminatory practices.

Water Projects
Get$11.5 Mil.
In Slate Grants
I RALEIGH - Over $11.5
million in State grant funds
have been awarded to 72 Local
Governments in North Carolina
to aid in financing the
construction of water supply
system projects, according to
David T. Flaherty, secretary of
the Department of Human
Resources.
This is the second group of
grant awards for water supply
systems under the N. C. Clean
Water Bond Act of 1971 and
brings the total funds awarded
this purpose to nearly $14
ion for fiscal year 1972-73.
State grants are to be used
in partial payment of water
system construction costs
amounting to approximately
$70 million.
In order to qualify for these
funds cities, counties, and
sanitary districts had to meet
eligibility requirements as
provided by the rules and
regulations adopted under the
Clean Water Bond Act of 1971.
The funds were made available
as a result of approval of a
$1 50 million clean water bond
referendum passed by votere in
May 1972.
Rules and regulations
governing how the money
would be awarded were
adopted last fall by the
Division of Health Services,
Board of Water and Air
Resources and the Department
of Administration and were
approved by the Advisory
Budget Commission.
Flaherty said another group
of applications is now being
processed by the Division of
Health Services and
announcement of new grant
awards will be in January,
1974.
Deltas Plan for largest Confab
In History in Atlanta, Georgia
ATLANTA - Delta Sigma
Theta, a national public service
sorority made up mostly of
Black women, is preparing for
the biggest national convention
in Atlanta on August 12-17, in
its 60-year history.
A record number of Deltas
- more than 5,000 at the last
count - already has registered
to attend the sorority's 32nd
biennial convention, to be held
at Atlanta's Hyatt Regency
Hotel. This is almost double
the number of Deltas who were
present at the 1971 convention
in Houston.
Mrs. Lillian P. Benbow of
Detroit, Delta national
president, attributed the
increase in convention
participation to a steady
increase in Delta membership,
chapter expansion and the
strong Interest and
commitment of Deltas to
provide local leadership
through active Involvement in
the organization's wide range
of public service programs.
Considered by many as one
of the most dvically active and
effectively organized and
operated national women's
organizations in the country,
Delta has a long history of
involvement in national and
local public service programs.
Its membership now stands at
65,000 with 460 chapters.
Mrs. Benbow said the
Deltas, in their convention
theme of "Delta Women
Breaking New Ground," will
give special attention to
national program priorities and
a blueprint of action. A aeries
of convention symposium will
be devoted to revenue sharing,
educational and job
opportunities for Black
women, community
involvement and career
development, human and social
imperatives for the world of
telecommunication, and
women's rights in the 70s.
A Career Development
Institute will be operated for
Delta members, including
interviews and recruitment by
major corporations and federal
government agencies. Other
convention highlights include
seminars on counseling and
guidance for higher education,
with personnel from College
Entrance Board and other
organizations participating.
Mass media and communicat
ions technology will be
featured in exhibits of hard
and soft computer ware,
television and radio equipment,
and examples of printed
material.
Mrs. Benbow said: "This
will be a working, active,
skill-building convention. For
the first two and a half days we
will be concerned with internal
Delta development, taking a
long, hard look at who we are,
as an organization of
predominantly Black women,
what we are doing, what we are
not doing, and if not, why not.
"We will deal forthrightly
with the social issues of the.
day, especially those around
which governmental actions
influence the lives of minority
citizens. Delta Sigma Theta
believes it is crucial that we
give concerted expression to
the concerns which all of us are
experiencing, during this
period when there are so many
human needs still unmet,
particularly in the case of
minorities," Mn. Benbow
added.

Alvm Amett Gets Support as New 0E0 Director
WASHINGTON - (NBNS)
Alvin J. Amett, the new acting
director of the Office of
Economic Opportunity, may
very well have picked up some
good tips from his predecessor,
Howard Phillips, on how to
please a Senator.
Appearing at two Senate
hearings last week, Arnett
managed to say the right things
and avoid sounding pompous,
which evidently pleased the
Senators, who had chastised
the self -avowed zealous
Phillips.
Phillips was found to be
holding his post illegally and
subsequently resigned
following a suit filed by four
senators.
Although Amett asked for
no funds to continue
operations of the federal
antipoverty agency at an
appropriations hearing
recently, he came back the
next day during his
confirmation hearing and
picked up some "yenvotes.
Arnett said he was "banking
on" Congress to provide funds
for OEO, and said he would
spend the money if it is
appropriated. He also said he
would ask President Nixon not
to veto an appropriations bill
including funds for GEO.
Said Sen. Walter Mondale
(D-Minn.), one of those who
successfully brought suit
(gainst Phillips, "if you take
that position, you'll find you
have lots of friends here."
However, Sen; William D.
Hathaway (D-Maine), another
one of the four who filed suit
against Phillips, was not so
easily convinced. Hathaway
said he would vote "nay" on

They were on ell the
Amett's confirmation unless
future testimony removed his
reservations about poesible
violations of the Hatch Act by
Arnett while employed at the
Appalachian Regional
Commission.
Arnett, who served as
executive director of the
Commission, denied any
violation.
Later, Mondale added, "he's
(Amett's) not my choice, but I
have a very low threshold of
expectations in thia
ad mini st rat ton. Unless he
changes his mind about the
future OEO and legal services, '
I'll be for him."
Arnett said if he is
confirmed, he wants senators
to "always think that I am a
Senate staffer." Arnett
formerly served as executive
assistant to Sen. J. Gimm Beafl,
Jr. (R-Md) before joining OEO
He also noted that he has
already revered several policies
