Ht k now a member of the board of directors of the First Union National Bank, and a former director of the Salisbury-Rowan Chamber of Commerce. A veteran of World War II, he taught at the Naval Training School at Bainbridge, M d . , and received his MA degree from Boston University and doctor of education degree from George Peabody College for Teachers. During 1967-68, he served on the Governor's Study Commission on Public Education in North Carolina and in 1969 was serving as director of the U. S. Office of Education research program involving five North Carolina Colleges. He also holds memberships in numerous educational associations and organizations. LEADERS (Continued from front page) expanding industry in Durham County was $7,425. This figure placed Durham County in second place in this category hohinri Havwood County. What makes this figure so impressive is the fact that during the test period Haywood County had only 116 new employees while Durham numbered 3,325. Durham County ranked eighth in new and expanded payrolls with a figure of $17,264,000 and was 13th in the number of employees in a new or expanded industry. The figures and the rankings cover all 100 North Carolina counties during the four-year test period. ATTY. (Continued from front page) matters. The leg was injured on the last day of the first World War I on November 11,1918, where the then young lieutenant Thompson had served in both France and Germany. Shrapnel from enemy artillery struck his leg and the injury still troubles him. The veteran lawyer, a native of Goldsboro, was born on May 3, 1898 and his parents were the late Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Thompson of that city. Working as a bricklayer with his father, who was a contractor, Thompson saved his money and entered Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York after his graduation from high school in Newark, New Jersey. Then followed his military services. After his discharge, he entered Howard University Law School. After graduation, he began Ms law practice on August 20,1923. He remembers many incidents surrounding his legal career and recalls especially the use of Bibles used in court that were marked "white" and "colored". In other words, there was one Bible that was marked "white" when whites were sworn under oath and another Bible marked "black" when colored or blacks were sworn under oath. Many other instances of outright discrimination were encountered by Atty. Thompson, but it never deterred him from his duties. He also recounts the use of terminology in addressing women and especially black women. Even when white women across the street at a local hotel were arrested as prostitutes, they were addressed as Miss or Mrs. and yet no one would address a black man or woman as Mister or Mrs. The practice was to call a black woman, regardless, by her first name. Thompson has taken part in many significant cases in school civil rights even prior to the historic 1953 desegregation ruling by the U. S. Supreme Court. Such cases involved the unequal distribution of funds for white and black schools and the poor facilities afforded blacks as against facilities for whites. Thompson now is viewed as the oldest practicing attorney in both the city of Durham and the State of North Carolina. Old timers may recall the names of other notable black attorneys, now deceased, such as R. McCants Andrews, E.W. and D.P. Cannady, blind and deaf lawyer O'Kelly of Raleigh, Williams of New Bern, Peter Bell, Sr. of Plymouth, Lanier, and C.J. Gates who rendered distinmiished legal services despite the stresses and rigors of the times. George White Bar Association, comprised primarily of black attorneys, takes their name from a distinguished attorney. Thompson also has lectured at NCCU's Law School during the War years of the 1940's. His talents helped to keep the Law School alive when most faculty members were drafted. He has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of NCCU, is a member of the Governor's Law arid Order Committee, a member of the American Legion and serves as a member of the Board of Gets M.A. Degree At Montclair i Miss Edith Belinda Clay received her Master of Arts degree in Teaching in the June, 1973 commencement at Montclair State College in New Jersey. Miss Clay is a 1971 graduate of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania where she majored in Biology. She attended the Durham City Schools and graduated from Hillside High School as class salutatorian in 1967. Miss Clay is presently employed at the J. H. Morrell High School in Irvington, New Jersey. She is the foster daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Tomlin of 2606 Atlantic St., Durham. Trustees of St. Joseph's A.M.E. Church.

ABERNAT&Y (Continued from front page) wrongs," said Dr. J.E. Lowery chairman of the board 'of SCLC. Abemathy's detractors have been arguing that he does not provide the charisma and leadership needed for a national organization. Some of Abernathy's supporters have argued however that he has been undermined by his staff, j One delegate noted that "the reason Dr. Abemathy doesn't stand out is because people are looking for him to do what Dr. King did. Dr. King wis a great man, but everyone has got to work his own way." Abemathy rejected asking the SCLC staff to resign. "I Will merely ask those to leave who are not willing to pay the price for freedom.' He is attempting to concilliate some of the organizations internal differences of opinion. , More full time staff wiU be hired by the organization, and five regional offices will be set up around the country. Each will be under a vice president and a regional director, thus relieving Abemathy of some of the administrative details that has seemed to plague him. Mr. Lowery stated that, "although there are other capable, dedicated persons who could accept the role of president, it is our firm conviction at this moment in history that Ralph David Abemathy is the man for the job." Among the dignataries attending the conference were D.C. Delegate Walter Fauntroy, Rep. Andrew Young (D-Ga.), and Vernon Jordan, Executive iin-tr of the Urban League.

Law School Names New Teachers SUMMER PROGRAM - Two North Carolina Central University students are among the 16 black third-year college students who participated in the fourth annual eight-week summer business orientation program presented by the University of Cincinnati and Proctor & Gramble. Shown while working on a project at P & G, the students are (L to R) Ronnie L. Beatty, Tomahawk; and Sandra L. Gunh, Ringgold, Va, (Another NCCU student, Doris Glenn, Charlotte was absent when the photo was taken.) The unique program, which is divided between classwork and study at UC and business industry oriehtation and training at P & G, is designed to attract a greater number of black students to business careers and to provide them with a broader background and understanding of business and how it operates. SS Office Taking Applications for Supplemental Security Income The Durham Social Security Office is now taking applications for supplemental security income payments, a fttdWll JiWiii aeheduled to start in January, 1974. The objective of this new program is to establish an income floor for people in financial need who are 65 or over, blind, or 'Cookbook' Aid To Treatment Of High Blood NEW YORK - A "cookbook guide," or schematic presentation, of the physician's treatment of high blood pressure through the use of modern drugs was given yesterday by E. DeVaughn Belton, MD, director of the Cardio-Renal Division, Bureau of Drugs, U. S. Food and Drug Administration, during a hypertension symposium at the ' annual convention of the National Medical Association. Basically, there are three types of high blood pressure -mild, moderate, and severe, Dr. Belton pointed out. And the physician selects the drug for the appropriate type, considering the pharmacologic properties of the drug and weighing its possible adverse effects in that selection, he said. Dr. Belton spoke at an all-day NMA symposium made possible through the sponsorship of CIBA Pharmaceutical Company, as part of its Medical Horizons Postgraduate Education Series. "The choice of drugs is tailored throughout therapy to the patient," Dr. Belton emphasized. "Additional drugs are prescribed, if necessary, to maintain the therapeutic effect. The needs of the patient must be reevaluated, at frequent intervals since the course of high blood pressure is certainly variable." The physician may start out treating a patient with a diuretic, a medicine that rids the body of excess fluid. "If that does not control the blood pressure, the next step is to add another drug to the therapy, either Apresoline or Methyldopa, titrating them to effective response," Dr. Belton said. "We recognize the need for combined drug therapy in most patients," he added. disabled, according to John Ingle, Manager. People who are currently receiving assistance through the hjiftment of Social Services because they fall into one of these categories do not have to apply now for these payments under the new Federal program which will start in January. More information and instructions will be furnished to them at a later date. Those who do need to contact the Social Security Office to file claims for these payments are those who are not eligible for assistance payments through the Department of Social Services. There are differences in the allowed amount of income and resources under the two programs. This means that some who were denied payments previously may be able to qualify under the new Federal program. The first monthly supplemental security income payments will be made in January, 1974. Until then, State and local Departments of Social Services will continue to make payments in the usual way. People who need more information to decide whether they may be eligible for supplemental security income payments should contact the Durham Social Security Office located at 2022 Guess Road. Assistance To Disadvantaged Faces Changes WASHINGTON - (NBNS)- Federal school aid to the disadvantaged faces some major changes if a measure approved by a House subcommittee is okayed. Under the measure to be taken up by the full House Education and Labor Committee next month, the system of distributing aid to education for the disadvantaged would be modified and a number of special purpose grant programs would be consolidated. The new formula for distributing the Title I funds for educating the disadvantaged would count children, in families with below $3,000 incomes, instead of the present $2,000 limitation, ft would also give less weight to the children of families on welfare.

FHA Insuring Home Loans Until October 1 WASHINGTON - (NBNS)- The President has signed legislation which permits the ederal Housing Administration to begin insuring home loans, but only until Oct. 1. The bill, which gives authority to insure mortgage loans on single and multiple family dwellings, renews insurance of loans under Title I of the Housing Act, which permits improvements and mobile homes. The ceiling on loans has been raised to 7 34 per cent from 7 per cent that was in effect when FHA's authority ended on June 30, since Congress has failed to agree on an omnibus housing package. Under the proposal, HUD points out that there are variations in the tupe of bousing programs involved and in the processing stages which applicants for mortgage insurance may have reached before expiration of FHA authority on June 30. Job Training Contracts Are Cancelled by US NEW YORK - (NBNS)- More than $6 million in manpower job training contracts held by private businesses for the purpose of providing on-the-job instruction for disadvantaged workers as cancelled by the Federal Government because the firms were failing to provide the workers with the necessary instruction to allow them to get and hold semi-skilled and skilled jobs. The unnamed urms, all in New York and New Jersey, were ordered to return to the U.S. Treasury all payments made under the contract and reports on the investigations of the contracts were turned over to the U. S. Attorney's office for further investigation and possible prosecution for fraud "In some cases, classroom instruction called for by the contract was not given," said Edward W. Aponte, deputy regional director of the Department of Labor in charge of manpower training. "In others, the training was not given or was not adequate. In some, the workers the Government wanted trained were not being used as trainees but as common laborers," Aponte said. As a result, new guidelines have been instituted to prevent further occurrences and to make prosecution easier for those businesses attempting to defraud the Government or disadvantage the workers involved.

Congressional leaders have already conceded that they will be hard pressed to override a Presidential veto of the bill, which will be sent to the White House in late August. The wage bill, which will increase the hourly minimum of $2.20 from the present $1.60, is expected to bring an additional seven million workers under the wage and hour coverage. The President had earlier said he objected to several of the bill's provisions. The GOP senators said the hikes would "barely enable them to make up for increase in the cost of living since 1966, the last time the minimum wage was increased." "A veto," the letter said, "might even mean an indefinite delay in providing millions of low-income, working Americans, whose living standards have been curtailed because of inflation, the improvements in the minimum wage law necessary to enable them to provide themselves and their families with the bare essentials of life." The signers of the letter were Jacob Javits of New York, Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania, Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, Clifford Case of New Jersey and Charles Percy of Illinois. lMBiftk ijjfugfl B Hi HF 9 Wpkp' I 'JSP-flXPS w f wmwml:' j0j".:i.

Earlier this year, I was selected one of the women of the year by Ladies Home Journal through a national poll... that was quite an honor but I feel greater about the honor of joining the sisterhood of Delta. This has extended my family by 65,000 and 65,000 Black sisters in Delta have extended their family by one. I think I am the true beneficiary. My mother and aunt are both Deltas and I am excited to follow in the family tradition."
