since those dark days of the

the change is gathering

According to figures
released by Duke University's
School of Medicine on the new
medical class, there will be 400
per cent more women doctors
graduating from Duke in 1977
than when the class of 1974
graduates next June. .
This year 32 women have
been admitted to the School of
Medicine. That's almost twice

times the figure of 1970.

As we work our way into the 70's, we find oursel ves
working into a decade of meaningful change.
And one of the most meaningful changes that
has developed, so far, is the increasing enrollment
of Black youth in colleges and universities.
A giant step in the right direction for all of us.
Because the better educated Blacks become, the
better the opportunities for higher paying jobs,
economic freedom, and power.
But education should include Black history and
culture. And too often today, too many of our
young people are bypassing the Black universities,
where they can be exposed to this important heri
tage, to enroll in white institutions.
Are our students' egos leading them to other
places, to achieve notoriety through militance?
Have our Black colleges become unfashionable?
I sincerely hope not. And now is the time to
make sure not. ' .
Now is the time for Black communities to
earnestly support our colleges. Enhance them. Aid
them where necessary.
There is a solid need for these schools. They can
effectively reinforce a Black student's identity.
They can also make it possible for more inner-city
educated Black youths to enroll in college.
If we are to continue making meaningful changes
for Blacks, it's time to change our minds about
Black colleges.

Warn Youths: Soft' Drugs

Te fWt, Toes, May 22, 173
There is new evidence to
show that youngsters using
"soft" drugs before age 20 are
more likely to progress to
"hard' drugs than those who be
gin later.
A two-year survey in Mel
bourne, Australia, involving
3,600 students and 700 other
drug-using youths seems to bear
this out
The study indicated that drug
use was more common among
males than females.
The user of illicit drugs, it
was found, also tended tome
alcohol and nicotine, as well as
such drugs as painkillers, sleep
ing pjlls and tranquilizers.
Dr. J. Krupinski, director of
the Institute of Mental Health
Research and postgraduate
training in Melbourne, reported:
"A third of those who started
on drugs before reaching the
age of 17 became intravenous
users within three years.
"Only a small proportion of
those who began using drugs
after the age of 20 turned to
intravenous drugs. There is,
Dr. Suydam Osterhout,
professor of medicine and
microbiology and associate
director for medical school
admissions, attributed the rise
in the number of female
admissions to changes in the
outlook of society.
"In the past." 06 l",d
"medical schools were subject
to the same sort of ideas which
permeated our society, and one
of these ideas was that the
woman's place was in the
home. Now more women than
ever before are applying to
medical school, and I might
add that their qualifications are
excellent.
"It wouldn't be right for
these women to be denied
admission because of their
sex," he added.
Like last year, there has
been a large increase in the
total number of applications to
the School of Medicine. Duke
received 3,621 applications this
year for 114 openings in its
school-twice as many as it
received in 1970.
The students come from 31
states, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico. North
Carolina has the largest
representation with 28, while
New York follows with 17 and
California and New Jersey have
contributed seven students
each. Twenty three members
of the class are Duke graduates.

Available only on the dehue Matador Brougham coupe as an option, the Cassini car reflects
an overall effect of design harmony by the subtle use of exterior paint and striping as an ex
tension of interior colors, fabrics and texture.
Three body colore are offered -white, copper, and Mack. On both the white and black versions,
copper atTtntf are used in hood striping, body side molding inserts and rear license plate de

Drug users are .more likely

than a working-class back
ground, Dr. Krupinski added.
but when working-class children
become drug users. , they are
more likely to turn to intrave
nous use. ;
The important thing for a
parent to remember about drug
use in youngsters is that there
are usually tell-tale signs that
can give the user away, pro
viding the parent a chance to
help him.
For example, a youngster
who suddenly becomes moody
or careless in appearance or
loses interest in the opposite
sex may be exhibiting signs that
he is on drugs.
The youngster who laughs
excessively at things no one
else considers funny may al
ready be well into the "habit."
Other symptoms compiled by
the Health Insurance Institute
include:
A tendency to sit looking
into space.
e An appearance of intoxi
cation with no smell of alcohol.
Staying out later than
usual and giving evasive an
swers as to his Whereabouts. .
e Avid reading of literature
dealing with the drug culture.
Loss of appetite, perhaps
with a rapid loss of weight.
a The reverse an increase
in appetite, accompanied by wild
raids on the refrigerator.
e Undue seclusion, like lock
ing himself in the bathroom or
bedroom for hours at a time.
Desperation for money
leading to stealing.
While these are all clear
drug-use signs, the Institute
cautions that they may also be
indicative of other physical or
emotional problems.
But the important thing, says
the Institute, is for parents to
investigate any symptoms fully
to learn their meaning.

Best Cider Made From
Apple Variety Blends
By M. E. Gardner
N. C. State University
If you have a yen to
make some good cider
this fall, here are some
suggestions that may be
helpful.
Firm, ripe apples,
those that are ripe enough
to eat out of hand, make
the best cider and give
the highest yield of juice.
Immature or overripe
apples lower the quality.
The best cider is
usually made from a
blend of different vari
eties of apples. A blend
provides a pleasing bal
ance of sweetness and
tartness as well as
aromatic qualities. A
single variety rarely
makes a satisfactory
product.
Sometimes the
desired fulness and bal
ance can be obtained by
using two varieties but
a blend of three or more
varieties is better.
Using several varieties
permits greater latitude
in varying the propor
tions to obtain the desired
blend and also allows
practical use of your
available supply.
We might separate
some of the commer
cially important vari
eties into groups accord
ing to their suitability
for cider: sweet sub
acid; mildly acid to
slightly tart; and
aromatic. A strict
classification is not
possible because a num
ber of varieties have
different flavor charac
teristics. Delicious may
be listed in both the sweet
sub-acid and aromatic
groups. It is also pos
sible that some varieties
will differ in their ttavor
Characteristics from one
geographical area to
another.
Varieties in the sweet
sub-acid group are grown
primarily for eating in
the fresh raw state, and
furnish the highest per
centage of the total stock
for cider. Varieties in
the aromatic group have
outstanding fragrance,
aroma and flavor that are
carried over into the
cider.
You might use the
following list of varieties
as a guide in selecting
the blend for your cider.
Sweet sub-acid group
Delicious and its red
bud sports; and Cortland,
if you have this variety.
Mildly acid to slightly
tart Winesap, Stayman,
Rome and Rhode Island
Greening.
Aromatic group
Delicious and Golden
Delicious.
In our student cider
making project at NCSU,
we use a 1-1-1 ratio of
Golden Delicious, Deli
cious and Stayman
Winesap.
By selecting a good
blend combination, using
only clean mature apples,
and keeping the cider
refrigerated, you can
keep your customers
coming back for more.

Formation of Federal-Private Partnership
To Deliver Quality Health Care for Nation
iilrrahlv less thai
For Immediate Release
Can you provide health care
for every man, woman and
child in the nation?
At a price they can afford?
And not add an overpowering
tax burden on the American
public?
Sen. Thomas J. Mclntyre
(D.-N.H.) says absolutely yes.
His solution: national health
insurance jointly administered
by the government and private
industry.
"Together," he says, "the. pri
vate sector and the government
can achieve what neither could
do alone."
Sen. Mclntyre has backed his
belief by introducing the Na
tional Healthcare Act of 1973.
or "Healthcare," in the Senate.
At the same time, Rep. Omar
Burleson (D.-Tex.) has intro
duced a similar bill in the
House. Overall, the bill has
more than 40 members of Con
gress, Democrat and Republi
can, co-sponsoring it.
Major Flan
This bill, supported by the
nation's insurance-companies, is
one of several major proposals
now before Congress.
These proposals have the
backing of the American Medi
cal Association, the AFL-CIO,
the American Hospital Associa
tion, and other organizations.
An Administration bill is ex
pected later in the year.
The Mclntyre-Burleson bill
provides a comprehensive na
tional program of health care
by strengthening the organiza
tion and delivery, of care.
It provides catastrophic
health insurance for everyone
in amounts up to a quarter of
a million dollars.
Any person who incurs $5,000 '
or more in medical expenses
during a 12-month period would
be eligible for up to $250,000
in benefits even if some or all
of his expense is reimbursed by
insurance.
Low $8.1 Billion
The legislation would cost
the government an additional
$8.1 billion in new revenues
considerably less than most
other major national health
proposals.
Sen. Mclntyre, in a statement
to the Health Insurance News,
declared:
"Without getting into all of
the details of my bill, here is
what 1 believe Healthcare can
do for the nation:
"First, increase the supply
and improve the" productivity
and distribtuion of health man

health care services to promote
health maintenance and reduce
costly hospital use.
"Third, improve health care

A highlight of the plan is that
it would employ the most use

The plan would go into effect

years.

Cut-Off Jeans Leg Is
Ideal for Making Bag
By
JANICE CHRISTENSEN
"Got an old pair of
blue jeans that you plan
to cut off for shorts?
Well, don't throw away
the legs that you Jgt.
off," advises Pearl
Weather, Clayton, Rt. 1.
This teenager uses
the legs of old blue jeans
to make bags. For
example, she made a
pocketbook by cutting off
a shallow length near the
bottom of the pants hem,
seaming up the cut edge,
and using the leg hem
for the top of the bag.
After attaching yarn, she
had an attractive
shoulder bag.
Pearl Ann also wanted
a tote bag, so she used
the other pants leg for
it. She constructed it
in the same manner but
made it deeper.
The tote bag would
make an excellent beach
bag if it were lined
with plastic, adds Mrs.
Patricia Brown, asso
ciate home economics

HELP CHILDREN
More than 20 children
at the Western Carolina
Center for Children at
Morganton are being
helped by Haywood
County Extension Home
makers. Sponsors make an ini
tial donation of $12 per

child an allowance each
month and money for spe

holidays and birthdays.
"Clothing and other
necessities are furnished
when needed," observes
Mrs. Gwilli Brendell,
home eoonomics exten

During the county's
Christmas Ideas Exhibit,
the homemakers dec
orate a tree. Later, these
ornaments and decora

numerous gifts, cookies
and donations are taken
to the Center for the

"Haywood County
