HATHE CAROLINA TIMES 81, Oct 18, ltW The Raid on the Federal School Lunch Program The present Administration says that It is quite concerned about the continuing inflationary spiral However, the Administration hypocritically demonstrates its supposed concern by vetoing bills designed to improve human services to the great masses of middle and low income people in this country. So far, it has managed to defeat minimum wage legislation, meaningful housing legislation and significant health care legislation; it has stymied needed improvements in the areas of education, senior citizen care and in providing effective social services to the poor. This Administration has also been characterized by its demonstrative ability to zealously protect the interests of the military-industrial complex and, thereby, supports, programs assuring the continued profit-making complex Since no segment of American life has been untouched by the Administration's definition of what constitutes inflation, it should surprise no one that the Administration regards salvaging the already under-funded Federal School Lunch Program as being another step in the inflationary spiral. Prior to the beginning of this school year, the mass media was replete with examples of school districts all over the country that were going to drastically reduce their school lunch programs or drop the programs entirely, because of decreased Federal aid. Many of the schools expressed the attitude that they had been haveing great difficulty in meeting - regular school costs and they simply were not able to channel funds into breakfast and lunch programs. Some schools attempting to continue the school lunch program, decided that the only alternative for them was to force the paying child to absorb the cost of the increases. Some one million children would have been affected by the termination of the federally-subsidized school lunch programs, with thousands more being threatened unless Congress continued the programs and passed legislation regarding their future. In an earlier action, the Committee on which I serve the House Committee on Education and Labor, passed a bill increasing the Federal contribution to the lunch program from 8 cents to 10 cents. This represents an increase of about $150 million over the Presidents request. It also provides increased subsidies for school breakfasts and for other related costs. On September 24, 1973 the Senate approved Federal aid to the school lunch program by a$300 million increase over the Administration's request for $1.5 million, with a key provision which would provide even more money if food costs keep rising. The Senate bill raises the Federal contribution to the lunch program from 8 cents to 12 cents for each student participant; from 40 cents to 45 cents for needy children who get free lunches; and from 30 cents to 35 cents for those who get reduced-rate lunches. Both the House and the Senate must work out a compromise on the differences between the two bills. Since both the House and Senate bills exceed what the President has requested, the compromise bDl faces a possible veto. It would be a veto against children; however, we hop that the President can rise above petty economics on WE'RE STILL LOADED WITH 73' SI OVER 100 LEFT THE 74'S ARE HERE, GREAT SELECTION Joit Say "Charge it" .

Black Construction Firm Awarded Gov't Contract The General Services Administration, announced recently that a South Carolina black construction firm was awarded a $83,000.00 contract. L. D. Strom, GSA Regional Administrator, said the contract, awarded under provisions of the Small Business Act, is the "result of President Nixon's push to strengthen firms owned by minority businessmen." The Columbia, South Carolina, firm is the Outing Construction Company, 1417 Dakota Street, a black-owned company which will receive the contract to make space alternations at the Veterans Administrative Building in Columbia. The contract will run through September 1973. The Outing Construction Company has participated in the 8(a) Program since 1971 when it received its first contracts for $5,200.00. Since then, the company has received four additional contracts for construction work of increasing dollar size. Strom, from his Atlanta Chas. Evans Selected by Syracuse Uni.

For 5 cents the United Nations Children's Fund can provide antibiotic ointment to save one of them from blindness. headquarters, said, "The Outing Construction Company, under the direction of its owner, Leroy Outinl, horte o? the best examples in Regfon 4 of a disadvantaged firm who has grown through the help of the 8(a) Program." Strom explained that Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act permits the Federal Government to negotiate contracts with minority-owned firms on a non-competitive basis to help such f farms become wcceasful enterprises. During the fiscal year 1973, General Services Administration awarded 45 8(a) contracts in Region 4 totaling $2,888,000.00. It is anticipated that over $3,000,000.00 in contracts will be awarded in FY 1974. His Eminence Bishop S. McDowell Shejton, the spiritual head of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, visited Mr. Stig Ramel, General Director of the Nobel Prize Foundation on September 20. Bishop Shelton's visit coincided with the death of King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden and the coronation of King Carl Gustav. His Eminence talked with Mr. Stig Ramel about the co-ordination of efforts of the world organizations, devoted to the propagation of peace and understanding. The Apostolic Church is w staunch supporter of pacifist world movements; the Church teaches its members to follow the nonviolent path in solutions of problems, in strict adherence to the teachings of the early Apostles, on which this conservative church has been founded. Bishop Shelton is an avid world traveler and was received: on similar missions, by Haile Selassie, President Tolbert of Liberia and Mrs. Indira Gandhi. The Apostolic Church bases ; itc beginning when Jesus told Peter "...upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against Pf (Matthew 16:18) or more specifically on the day of Pentecost (see second chapter f Acts). , Bishop S. McDowell Shelton. a native Philadelphian reared in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, continued the Apostolic ministry after the late Bishop S. C. Johnson's decease in 1961. He expanded the Church's work throughout ttolMted. SUteftiadoverseas. WW f lPiPPi l Syracuse University has announced the appointment of Charles L. Evans as director of the Accelerated Business Leadership Program (Program ABLE) in the School of Management.

Program ABLE is a consortium of SU, the Universities of Arizona and Massachusetts,. New York, Howard and Atlanta. It is designed to assist members of minority groups pursue the master of business administration degree (MBA) in 15 months rather than the normal 18-24 months period.

Were are Apostolic Churches and congregations in the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa and India. Every week, Bishop Shelton preaches to a global congregation by means of radio and his program "The Whole Truth is heard nightly on a United States network and several international stations in the Caribbean, Europe and Near East and Asia. The Church is involved in charitable and educational projects. In February 1971, Bishop Shelton dedicated the Apostolic Village, in Philadelphia, a complex of houses for the elderly. The Church maintains schools and local youth programs and cooperates in providing help for those confined in hospitals and other institutions. Bishop Shelton does not believe in the relaxation of the Church's rules and "liberal" interpretation of the Bible, in order to gain wider access to the public and attract more people On that basis. Those who seek God must live according to His teachings and commands as stated in the Holy Bible. The doctrine of the Apostolic Faith demands from the believers a path that seems, to outsiders, ultra straight and narrow. Yet, the statistics show that there are relatively no alcholics, drug addicts or people who engage in criminal activity among the active members. There is practically no welfare recipients and juvenile delinquency is almost non existing. w f j&jjL He FIGHTING BEARS BOOSTER - With S booster as pretty as Sharon Ann Harrison, a senior oioiog major from Shepherd, Texas, the Livingstone College Fighting Bears are sure to come roaring out of their huddles this season and roll over the opposition with the greatest of ease. What athlete wouldn't like to wake-up one morning and find Sharon in his bowl of Wheaties? That would be "the breakfast of CHAMPIONS!" Important Family Asset Missed In Most North Carolina Homes Most North Carolina families keep pretty good account of the family budget, in these days of high prices and inflation it's a financial necessity. However, most families don't know or forget what may be their biggest dollar asset, accoring to the Insurance Information Institute. If called to list your most valuable assets, you might list your savings, life insurance, medical and disability insurance and your home or equity if you have one. Some might also list stocks or investments in property. With all these listings, a most important asset is usually forgotten, and that is the workmen's compensation insurance coverage on your job. Your boss pays for it, but it could mean thousands, hundreds of thousands, or as much as a million dollars to you. It is one of your most important assets. Do you know what workmen's compensation does for you? It varies, state by state, but, essentially, it provides financial protection for you and your family if you are injured or killed on the job. It could mean as much as a million dollars for some injured workers in some states. This would be for a very serious injury such as lifetime care for a quadraplegic. How does workmen's compensation operate? First, it is hospital and medical insurance. In 41 states there are no limits on the amount. No deductibles, no contributions from the injured employe; you get hospital and medical care for as long as you need it. For life, if necessary. Second, if you are killed on the job, it provides a death benefit to your survivors. This, too, varies by state, and most of the states are gradually upping the amounts. . Third, what do you do for a paycheck if you are injured and can't work? Workmen's compensation provides a wage benefit. The weekly benefit Ls usually a percentage of your weekly wage, subject to a limit. These limits are generally too low, according to the National Commission On State Workmen's Compensation Laws, but many of the State Legislatures are gradually boosting these amounts. Still, your workmen's compensation coverage provides a basic, tax-free weekly wage in all states. In 1972, workers throughtout the country collected about two billion dollars just in workmen's compensation wage benefits. Fourth, workmen's compensation is designed to help injured people get well and back on the job. Rehabilitation of injured employes is a primary goal of the state workmen's compensation administrator (Continued on Page 7B) Children Running Risk of Illness if Not Immunized RALEIGH - Over 250,000 pre-school children in North Carolina are running t risk of serious illness, permanent disability and even death, by not being properly immunized against infectious diseases. According to John Irvin, immunization program head for the Division of Health Services, six out of 10 children have not completed the basic series of immunizations by age two. The series include three or more DPT shots (diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus), three or more doses of oral polio vaccine, as well as immunization against measles and rubella. "Although 95 percent of the pre-schoolers have had at least one immunization," Irvin said, "it appears that attendance at the physician's offices and county health department clinics stops before the recommended series is completed. It is up to these providers of health care, as well as leaders on military posts in the state, to follow through with pre-school children's immunizations." Noting that October is "Immunization Action Month", Irvin revealed that six Campaign Launched By NAACP For $300,000 Emergency Fund iff HP .jflBliL i mmmutinswmam uses j DENT NIXON GREETS H. R. Crawford, assistant secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development tit Management, following his release of the sweeping housing study and the new administration housing recommendations sent to Congress. The study and recommendations dealt with a different approach to the housing needs of lower income families, easing the tight credit conditions in the current housing market, and actions to meet special needs under federal programs. Assistant Secretary Crawford, a nationally recognized expert in the field of Housing Management, contributed to the overall study and will aid its implementation immunization program specialists stationed across North Carolina have been busy working with county health departments establishing a follow-up system. He said about 90 counties have committed themselves to a periodic audit of immunization records for the purpose of recalling children who have fallen behind in their immunization program. "In order to be effective, however, we will have to depend on pr-vate phyncian who normally immunize about half of North Carolina's pre-schoolers." Irvin said. "They too should initiate an audit to see that private patients receive the basic series of immunizations." NEW YORK - The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has called upon its nationwide network of local units to contribute to a $300,000 emergency fund "to be applied toward the costs of protecting Negroes during the present state of siege." The call went out to officers of the Association's 1,700 local units over the signature of Roy Wilkins, the organization's veteran executive director, on ,Sept. 24, following the adoption of a resolution authorizing the establishment of an "Emergency Fund for the NAACP." The resolution, passed by the delegates to the 64th NAACP Annual Convention in Indianapolis, last July 2-6, was ratified by the Association's Board of Directors, Sept. 10. The present situation of black folk in America was characterized as "under siege" by Mr. Wilkins in his report to the NAACP membership at the Association's annual meeting last January. At the September meeting of the NAACP Board of Directors, Mr. Wilkins again stressed the urgency of the need for additional funds to meet the challenge of the "siege" initiated and sustained "by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government." In his letter to local NAACP officers, he cited the need for the emergency fund and assigned to each local unit a special assessment to enable the Association to lift the "siege" of 1973-74. He cited the sharpened challenge in such selected areas as the following "Litigation hi the school area, for instance, includes desegregation, the protection of rights of students arbitrarily suspended or expelled, and resistance to firing or downgrading of black faculty and administrators. "A vast number of employment discrimination cases against private and public employers have been initiated in Federal Courts from coast to coast. In the latter category , a case against the Philadelphia Police Department is leading to the appointment and promotion of Negroes as police officers. HEW to Speed Up Provision of Meals to Aged HEW Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger recently announced steps to speed up provision of meals to older Americans under the new $100 million Nutrition Program for the Elderly. Amended regulations published in the Federal Register recently, would permit States; which operate the program under the direct ion of HEW's Administration on Aging, to fund nutrition projects for up to 90 days even if they do not comply fully with certain previously ananiie. requirements. Temporarily suspended would be certain requirements for project staffing and provision of social ssrdjMft. These requirements will be put into effect later.
