toward the door of 2-A, 9m entered the apartment and started
toward the kitchen; a glass of cold, milk and a hunk of gingerbread
should remove the pangs of remorse. "Jesus! I love that man," she
sighed as she filled a glass of milk. Then she heard a familiar sound
that started her so much that she dropped the crock milk pitcher.
"Is that you. Miss Madie? In the name of God, was her ears
playing tricks on her? Ben Prat! Mister Ben? She screamed

Mm Madie gulped bard. Her jokes about jumping at the first
proposal did not manifest at this moment She sat quietly, looking
hQ the cup of her idle hands; she was thinking of how strangely
lifeless tr looked
Jeff was disappointed, he had not expected Madie Perkins to
jump at the chance to marry him but he expected a much livelier
response; "Madie, I have been a bull in the pasture of young
heifers- I've been drunk n rowdy n lousy at one time or another.
I am not trying to marry off the man who was. I weigh 145 lbs.,
I'm five feet nine inches tall- I have no hair on my chest- I sleep
poorly- read everything- I loathe aphrodisiacs rejuvenators;
surgical or medical restoratives." Jeffs laughter was shallow
uneasy. "My sex needs are meager. I change shirts and underwears
every day. I dislike foul ordors. I like simple foods- a little meat
lots of vegetables, fruits and honey. Do I sound like a man who is
hard to get along with?
Miss Madie clicked her plates together- wished she had not
made the unenchanting sound at this moment; then, she began
speaking her piece softly at fust but the late evening breeze stirred
more volume into each word; "No. And you don't sound like a
man who is easy to live with. On th other hand, you are bound to
know, soon or later, that I have just as many hide bound habits as
you have. You sound like-ah-nice dean wishy-bone ready for
making-an-wish and scrambling to get the longest side. You're
bound to wonder who'll get th' short end."
Jeff chuckled lazily; "That was well put, Madie. I am game if
you are."
" 'pends on what you call game- a chicken is considered game
to-ah-hawk. I ain't saying you're chicken or hawk, but being game
can be-ah-nightmare for a man of the world and a woman who has
never had a single fling. And I ain't thinking of dirty sheets."
Jeff hid his impatience under a romantic sigh; "Madie, think of
all the things I have said. My summation was not in depth or far
reaching in any direction but it was frank 'n honest.
Miss Madie threw her head back and laughed deeply; "my
honestly is so simple 'n wide open, I feel ashamed of it."
Jeff slid over dose to her; "count honestly in your favor- the
part about simplicity remains to be seen."
Miss Madie did not appreciate the joke, nowever, sne am not
relate this discomfort to her boyfriend. She said, "Jeff, a man like
you can shake the average woman out of her good senses without
churning her one bit. Pm putty in your hands- I just don't want
you to see me stamping my feet 'n praising the Lord for being
amongest the candidates likely to marry you- take me home
before I do my number."
Jeff grinned sheepishly; "you're mean. You build my ego up
like mad, then, you say take me home."
Miss Madie flirted with her eyes before she answered. After
fluttering her eye-lashes, primping her mouth and weaving her head
dose to his chin, then turning again toward the setting sun, she
said, "I read your mind the way I read-ah-book-- Pd be less than a
lady to let you make love to me now. Good things come to those
that wait"
Jeffs tone was serious; "I like the way you keep me feeling like
a man without giving me the feeling that I am going to pay through
my nose for a little fun."
Miss Madie laughed softly; "you sound like-ah-man who is more
money bait than trap-bait for fillies."
"Jeff could not refrain from laughter, "you said it, Madie. At
65, 1 am good company with an expense account"
"Don't feel badly, Mister Jeff. At 62, I am too old to do the
twist 'n too youngto refuse a Idas with-ah-'apense account behind
it." x " i i
"Miss Madie!" Jeff exclaimed.
"No fools no fun, Mister Jeff. I said what I did to shake you out
of self-pity. And you can take it from the horse's mouth, self-pity
is the worst kind of company for fallen-arches."
Jeff turned the key over in the switch; have you made up your
mind about marrying me?
My mind don't need making up. I maybe asking for a short-cut
to the cemetery but Pd like nothing better than being your wife."
"Well put, tody." He answered.
Very little was said during the drive home. Miss Madie wanted
to talk more- get everything out into the open, including the date
of the wedding. However, she made no attempt to shake Jeff out
of Ms silence; instead, she sat thinking of "Mister Ben". And when
the flashy car came to a halt in front of Apartment 2-A, she
realized that a good thing had suddenly come to and end. For the
first tune, she didn't look forward to seeing "Mister Ben," Jeff was
Dentist Says Plaque on Teeth
Must Be Controlled at Home
Dental researchers have
found that professional tooth
deaning by a dentist or dental
hygienist at regular intervals
isn't sufficient to prevent tooth
decay and gum problems. The
"plaque" that develops on and
between teeth re-forms the
very next day.
Plaque is a sticky,
practically colorless film. It can
be removed by effective
toothbrushing and use of
dental floss at least once a day.
Professional instruction on
how to brush teeth effectively
is important. Fortunately,
there are also toothpastes that
contain special ingredients that
help to remove plaque. One of
these, SENSODYNE, make it
possible for even persons with
hypersensitive teeth to reduce
plaque buildup, and control
the sensitivity.
Although surveys have
found that there are a number
of Americans who don't brush
their teeth properly - or at all
- it is also a known fact that
some of these individuals are
afraid to brush, because of
sensitivity to the touch of a
toothbrush. A new
"SENSODYNE GENTLE"
toothbrush was designed for
these individuals.
A recent nationwide survey
showed that "tactile
stimulation" contributed to
pain in 65.8 percent of ail
patients with hypersensitive
teeth.
Although the new brush is
extra-soft and gentle, it
contains 2500 bristles in 4
rows, with 51 tufts to provide
a dense brushing surface, which
according to the company that
makes the brushes available,
assures greater coverage for
maximum cleaning and
polishing.
The dentist may suggest
other plaque-removal aids such
as dental floss, and the use of
small, red tablets that dissolve
in the mouth to stain plaque
on teeth. The idea is to show
areas you may have missed in
brushing.
Dental authorities stress the
importance of regular dental
checkups, but warn against
patients considering these visits
sufficient insurance against
future dental problems.
Effective home care, aided by
professional instruction and
treatment are considered by
many to be the hope for
preventing tooth decay and
gum
Or. Marion Thorpe Is Eleded

Dr. Marion D. Thorpe,
Chancellor, Elizabeth City
State University, has been

Committee of the Education
Commission of the States
(EGS). The election represents
an elevation of Dr. Thorpe,
since he was first appointed to
the Commission, in 1969.
As a member of the ECS
policy-making body, Dr.
Thorpe will be cloaelj involved
in the search for answers to
many of the crises confronting
education today, according to
Wendell H. Pierce, ECS
Executive Director.
Dr. Thorpe, who earlier this
year was re-elected to serve on
tiie Commission on Colleges of
the Southern Association of
Colleges and Universities
(SACS), now becomes North
Carolina's representative and
chief educational
commissioner, on the
policy-making committee. In
addition to the ECS and SACS
appointments, the Durham
native and graduate of North
Carolina Central and Michigan

Competence In Ministry ft
Morehouse Alumni On
Black Church Studies
ATLANTA - Three
Morehouse College alumni are
participating this summer as
Martin Luther King, Jr. Fellows
in Black Church Studies The
program is being conducted at
the Interdenominational
Theological Center in Atlanta
and is sponsored by the Colgate
Rochester, Bexley Hall, Croter
Theological Seminaries.
The Morehouse College
graduates in the program are
the Rev. Charles S. Hamilton, of
Augusta and Atlanta, Ga . the
Rev. Samuel B. McKuney, of
Seattle, Wah . and the Rev.
Frederick B. Williams, of New
York City.
THE 1173 PROGRAM began
on July 9, and will conclude on
Aug. If. This is the second year
of the three-year program. In
1873, the SO Fellows studied at
the University of Ife in Nigeria
and at the University of Ghana.
In the summer of 1974, the
Fellows will study at the
Colgate Rochester, Bexley Hall.
Crozer Theological Seminaries
in New York.
The purpose of the program is
to develop, through discussion,
writing, and lecture, increased
professional growth and
competence within the black
church and community
ministry. Fellows and faculty
consultants are expected to deal
theologically with such aspects
of the ministry as pastoral car,
worship, and community in-
If HOPED that the
FeUowa will pay particular
attention to those aspects of
black culture which demon
strate that there need not be a
sacred, secular dichotomy. The
thrust of the program is that
each of the Fellows commits
himself to the authorship of
some item to augment and
enrich black church studies:
Topics of interest in the
program include: "Black
Concerns In Biblical Inter
pretation;" "Pastoral Care and
Mental Health in Black Culture
and Church;" "Black Church in
Mission Through the Mass
Meida," "Black Church In
Mission to Street Culture , " and
"Black Church Mission in
Political Action."
Bennett College Receives $637,000
Synthetic vitamins have the
same desirable effects as natu
ral ones.
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Dr.
Issac H. Miller, the president of
Bennett College, has announced
that the college received
$637,060 in government funding
under Title III of the Higher
Education Act of 1965. The
funds will be distributed among
seven cooperative programs of
which Bennett College la ac
tively involved with other in
stitutions. "The Title III funding serves
to strengthen the academic
programs of developing in
stitutions and allows them to
undertake more research in the
area of innovative curricula,"
stated Dr. Miller.
"HOWEVER, MOST of the'
smaller institutions will feel the
force of major cutbacks in
federal assistance to higher
education. For instance, this
year the $637,000 granted is
$78,000 less than we received
last year."
' He stated that the immediate
impact of the cutback was the
elimination of the Six
Institutions Consortium
Program which was a
cooperative effort of six
predominantly black in
stitutions to develop curricular
and teaching materials in
African-Afro-American Studies.
"IT WILL MEAN that some
' of the programs will be reduced
in scope and their operations
Will be hindered unless other
revenue is found to defray their
cost.

the money as in many
programs in the past.
As part of the overall plan,
Weinberger said he expected
food allotments under the food
stamp program to be increased
substantially in light of
skyrocketing grocery costs.
Food stamps have been
increased substantially over the
past four years.
In addition, the President is
nlannlns to nav about $1
billion in scholarships to 1V4
million needy students next
year, and a number of other
students would get part of
another $1.6 billion in
federally guaranteed loans
approved by the Congress.
The government is also
taking a look at compulsory
national health insurance
system. One plan Is modeled
after the Federal Employees
Health benefit plan and the
other is patterned after the
National Health Insurance
program the President
proposed in 1971 but was
rejected by the Congress.
Both of the programs would
work through private insurance
companies and premiums
would be paid by the employee
and the employer. The
government would pay all or
most of the premium for poor
people.
Among other
recommendations by
Weinberger and Secretary
James Lynn of the Department
of Housing and Urban
Development are:
A federal system which
would guarantee all families a
minimum standard of living;
and
Housing vouchers, similar
to food stamps, that would pay
part or all of a person's housing
rent.
The President has already
scrapped his reorganization
plan of the executive branch
which would have made Lynn
director of all community
development programs and
Weinberger director of all
human resources projects.

sorghum, supplied by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
Under the World Food
Program, the United States has
committed' $3.8 million for
grain and $1.8 million for
transportation. Under a grain
stabilization program, AID is
providing $3.6 million for grain
and $4.3 million for
transoortation; and under
bilateral emergency programs,
AID has committed $12
million for grain and $11.6
million for transportation. A
total of $4.7 million has been
allocated from AID's
Contingency Fund to help
meet needs other than food,
including transportatiqn.
Not only are the
drouffht-stricken countries of
Africa receiving aid and
supplies from other countries
of that continent and other
turfs of the world, they are
also helping each other and
themselves, McAdams said,
There have been a number of
convoys across the Sahara with
food and clothing from Algeria
to Mali and Senegal, assistance
to Mauritania from Libya, and
cash donations from the
governments of Zaire, Ivory
Coast, Nigeria and Cameroon
to Senegal and Mali. McAdams
said he felt that this aid was
meaningful than the
larger material assistance,
because almost all of these
flountrias are themselves aid
recipients.
The stricken countries are
also helping themselves
through "solidarity"
campaigns. McAdams cited
Senegal, where each
ew
government employee
contributed a day'a pay toward
relief efforts. Hie private
sector, both foreign and local,
has also made substantial
contributions, raising
approximately $2 12 million.
People weak from hunger
are also more susceptible to
diseaaes, McAdams pointed
out, and there have been
resurgences of disease such aa
measles and smallpox that, were
thought to be under control.
"We see them coming back,"
he said, "and we know that
this is because of
malnutrition." In mid-May of
this year AID provided an
emergency grant of $1 million
for a five- to six- year program
to eliminate measles and
smallpox through the purchase
and distribution of vaccine to
the countries in need.
All drought countries have
been declared disaster areas by
their governments and
"drought coordinators'' have
been appointed at the highest
levels of government,
McAdams stated. Chiefs of
state of the countries involved
have been monitoring the
efforts and making day-to-day
policy decisions. However,
according to McAdams at the
grass roots level there is some
inclination to regard the
situation fatalistically and say
"Well, you know this Is cyclic.
There are rainy seasons and the
day season." But unfortunately
this drought has existed four or
more years.
Another more chronic
severe problem facing the
Africans is the southward
creeping of the Sahara Desert,
a geographical change that
cannot be reversed. It has been
estimated that about 250,000
square miles of arable land in
the Sahel has been yielded to
the Sahara in the past 50 years,
the encroachment reaching the
rate of 30 miles per year in
some areas. Many villages,
formerly green oases, have
been taken over by desert
sands, and fields fit for
cultivation of grains grow
smaller each year.
McAdams noted that two
years ago when he drove from
Dkar to Nouakchott in
Mauritania, the last hundred
miles were always very exciting
because he was in the Sahara
Now, he said, the physical
characteristics 200 miles south
are the same. Unfortunately,
McAdams said, this will not be
changed by rainfall - once the
dessert has moved in, it stays.
People are moving south to
escape the desert ana reacn
vital water supplies, according
to McAdams, and this
migration has resulted in
overcrowding of these areas.
"Nouakchott is a city normally
of about 12,000 people," he
said," ..and right now there
are about 40-50,000 people
there. Furthermore, when
water is provided in an area,
herders bring their cattle from
drought zones, resulting in
overgrazing and further
expansion of the desert.
McAdams said that efforts
are being maae to nail inis
trend, but to do so will require
large-scale development
projects in the Senegal River
basin. He pointed out that
every year thousands of gallons
of fresh water pour down the
basin which borders Mali,
Senegal and Mauritania, into
the sea If a way can be found
to store this water and irrigate
the land, the desert
encroachment can he halted.
Many "blue sky" proposals
have been made, McAdams
said, including the- use of an
atom bomb on the mountain
range to permit the passage of
rain clouds from the
Mediterranean.
A native of Claremont,
North Carolina, McAdams
holds a bachelor's degree from
Adelphi University, Garden
City, New York and a master's
degree in psychology from
Yeshiva University in New
York City.
He first served overseas
from 1961 to 1965 as Director
and later Secretary General of
the Administration of the
National School of Law and
Public Administration in
Kinshasa, the Republic of the
Congo, under a grant from the
Ford Foundation. After two
years as Deputy Associate
Director of the Volunteers in
Service to America in
Washington, D.C. during 1965
and 1966, McAdams was
named Director of the Peace
Corps in the Ivory Coast where
he also served for two years.
During 1969 and 1970, he was
assistant to the president for
government relations for Leon
Templesman & Son, Inc. in
New York City and from July
1970 to April 1971 was a
consultant to the International
College in Kabwe. Zambia
under the auspices of the
African American Institute.
Prior to his overseas,
essjsjrlence, McAdams had blig
a social worker in New York
City from 1958 to 1961 and
served with the U.S. Army
Medical Corps in Paris from
1956 to 1958.
He is married to the former

all of Durham, and from
Chapel Hill, in addition to
Mayor Lee, Co-chairman,
Edwin L Caldwell, Jr., Rev.
John Mannley and William W.
Rucker.
Lee said the new bank is
organizing "for the purpose of
conducting commercial, saving,
safe deposit and other banking
business to meet the needs of
the people of Durham and
Orange Counties."
Bowens added: "We feel
that the growth and
development 'of the
Durham-Orange area as an
educational, medical, industrial
and research center warrants an
additional banking institution
which is locally owned and
operated and thus able to meet
many banking needs with a
personal touch not always
possible in a local branch office
of an out of town bank."
Lee said the bank, once
chartered, will elect directors
who will immediately begin the
search for "a highly qualified
individual" to serve as Chief
Executive Officer of Triangle
United Bank.
The bi-racial bank, Triangle
United Bank, has set forth its
Management Philosophy and
Policy. The incorporators
intend that the Bank shall be
operated for the primary
purpose of serving local
and to encourage a
hometown association with its
customers. The new bank wifl
focus its efforts and attention
on the problems and
opportunities of the people of
Durham and Orange counties.
The Incorporators consider
that the location of the Bank's
first office should be in an area
that is convenient to the largest
number of potential customers.
The aim win be to provide
those services whether new or
old to satisfy the needs of its
customers while investing in
accordance with sound banking
practices and earning
maximum profit for
shareholders.
Asked if the bi-racial
operation of the bank would
be unique, Lee reminded them
that in some aspects its may
be, but there is a bank in
Pembroke which is triple
(Indians, whites, and blacks).
Also taking part in the press
conference announcing the
proposed opening of the new
bank, were Mayor Pro Tern

BUDGET
(Continued from front page)
Durham budgets at all three
levels were among the lowest in
the Nation. Of the 38 mainland
cities, the intermediate
Durham budget ranked 33rd,
the lower budget 31st, and the
higher budget 34th.
The lower and intermediate
Durham budgets, which
include no income taxes, rose
3.3 and 3.6 percent,
respectively, from autumn
1971 to autumn 1972. The
higher budget for Durham
Increased by only 3.0 percent
because the rise in consumer
prices was partly of fast by
reductions in income taxes.
Changes in the various
components of the DttfMsl
budgets between autumn 1971
and autumn 1972 were as
follows:
The retired couple is
defined as a husband aged 65
or over, and his wife; they are
self-supporting, living
independently to their own
home, in reasonably good
health, and able to take care of
themselves. The budgets are
illustrative of three different
levels of living and provide for
different specified types and
amounts of goods and services.
The couple has, for each
budget -level, averaged
inventories of clothing,
housef urnishings, major
durables, and other equipment
The budgets pertain only to an
urban couple with the specified
characteristics; no budgets are
available for rural retired
couples. The budgets are not
intended to represent a
minimum or subsistence level
of living.
