One and one-half seconds after you snap your photo, the camera hands you a developing print. Within moments the color image begins to emerge even in the brightest light. It continues to mature for several minutes until it has achieved a color clarity and brilliance un matched by any other photographic process. ture of it in the next. Just 1.5 seconds after the electric shutter button on the SX-70 is pressed, a developing color picture emerges automatically. There is no need to time the development process, nothing to peel, nothing to discard, nothing to do but enjoy the awe inspiring process of watching a brilliant color photo bloom before your eyes. REVOLUTIONARY NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC SYSTEM r r,i ! !V SL. Over 15 years of research and $300 million dollars have gone into the development of the revolutionary new photographic system which is being introduced nationally this fall by Polaroid Corporation. Called the SX-70 from the code name on a file dating back to 1947 this remarkable camera has been referred to as . . ."a stunning technological achievement" (Life) . . ."an awesome constellation of technical triumphs" (Popular Science) . . ."a box of magic" (Time). The sum effect of the array of new scien tific and technological innovations which make up the SX-70 system is that the user can view a scene one moment and hold a developing pic- THE CAMERA The Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera is a unique folding single-lens reflex camera which weighs only 24 ounces, less than the lens alone of manv conventional single lens reflex cam eras. When closed it measures 7x4x1 inches (about the size of a paperback book) and will slip into a jacket pocket or a purse. The four-element glass lens of the SX-70 is capable of an extraordinarily broad range of focus, from infinity to as close as 10.2 inches. The new system is completely automatic. You have nothing to do except compose, focus, and push the shutter button. Operation of the camera is entirely controlled by electronic micro-circuits equivalent to over 200 transis tors. The power source is not in the camera, but in the film pack, so that with each fresh pack of film you have a fresh power source for the camera. And you never have to worry about changing batteries in the camera. THE FILM The SX-70 film involves A complete restate ment of the basic instant photo dye-developer concept and draws on 15 years of sustained research. It is a completely integral structure that contains about 17 layers, many no thicker than a wavelength of light. The image is formed on a highly reflective chemical surface by dyes more vivid than those in any other instant picture. The image is virtually train Devastating Effect on U.S. Stainless Steel Industry . . . Prices, Production and Jobs Hit in Cut-Off of Rhodesian Ferrochrofile Supplies WASHINGTON, D.C. The United States, a nation that has been a net importer of minerals since the end of World War II, would be irre parably harmed if another cut-off of ferrochrome from Rhodesia were to be imposed, a Senate Foreign Relations sub-committee has been told. Defense applications, trans portation, power generation, environmental control sys tems, health care facilities, machinery and equipment, and communications depend heavily on stainless steels, the sub-committee was told; and shortages, rising prices, pro duction cutbacks, and job losses would be threatened by re im position of sanctions against the African nation. Hie statements were made by E. F. Andrews, Corporate Vice President-Materials and Services of Allegheny Ludlum Industries, Inc., and a world expert in minerals and ma terials supply. He spoke in opposition to proposed legislation which would repeal the Byrd Amendment, which exempts chrome and other critical ma terials from the United Na tions' economic sanctions against Rhodesia. With the demand for stain less steel likely to accelerate at a geometric rate in the fu ture, Mr. Andrews said, the consequences of sanctions on Rhodesian chrome become critical. Stainless cannot be made without chromium, he said, and for every gross ton of this kind of steel, 400 pounds of mm mm 'Mmmmm RRM- HM' RmSKaStRSBSjjSjBRS BBaBlRBW.;::JMRBx::isV I. f. Andrews chromium, 200 pounds of nickel, and 1640 tons of iron are required. The ferro chrome alone accounts for about 20 of the raw materi als cost of a ton of stainless. An increase of one cent per pound in chrome would in crease the cost of an ingot ton of stainless by $4, and the fin ished ton by $8. There are no reserves of metallurgical grade chrome ore in the United States, Mr. Andrews said thus forcing the American ferrochrome in dustry's dependence on for eign supplies. Yet even that industry in the U.S. is slowly dying, as one ferrochrome plant after another is shut down, largely because of eco logical pressures. And nations that have chromite ores are building their own ferro chrome plants preferring to sell ferrochrome rather than ore, for high profit. If sanctions are reimposed, Mr. Andrews said, the Ameri can specialty steel industry faced with a declining number of ferrochrome producers at home and forbidden to trade with the leading and low-cost producer would be forced to pay stratospheric prices for such ferrochrome as it could obtain. The competitive ef fect, he said would be dis astrous. Imports already have cap tured up to 50 of the market for several specialty steel products, Mr. Andrews point ed out, and we could expect the trend to accelerate, if sanctions were re-imposed and ferrochrome shortages or frohibitive prices ensued, hus American jobs and an American industry would be come the victims of a policy directed against a government which has prospered under the widely ignored U.N. embargo. Xtra-tool" Replaces 2 In Home Workshop wL.. LirS mi mwm rSLSrVh CHICAGO Ever get the feeling that you're in the midst of a workshop ex plosion? That there's Just no more room for another tool or accessory? If so, a new multi-purpose electric hand tool that does things which would normally require two or more tools might help reduce the clutter. The "599 Xtra-tool", according to its manufactur er, the Skil Corporation, serves as: . A basic 38" trigger speed control reversing drill with the many functions of that tool, such as drilling, grinding, buffing, setting screws, and so on. A high frequency impact tool for chiseling, gouging, lifting putty and tile, and scraping rust, paint and wallpaper. A hammer-drill, combining both modes, with particularly efficient appli cations for drilling in concrete, brick and masonry. Selection of the desired mode of oper ation is obtained by simply turning the Xtra-tool's collar ring to the proper set ting, thus controlling a unique cam and ratchet arrangement in the tool's gear housing behind the chuck. Robert G. McCallister, Skil Vice Pres ident, Marketing, said: "The Xtra-tool does the work of a basic 38" drill and a separate hammer-drill, thus replacing those two tools in the workshop, at a much lower cost than if purchased separately." McCallister also pointed out that the Xtra-tool is double insulated, for great er user safety, eliminating the need for a ground wire. Further, the Xtra-tool has a powerful, burnout-protected 13 hp. motor, and adjustable trigger speed control, both forward and reverse, for screwd riving applications and precision work in such materials as ceramic the. All standard 38" drill accessories are compatible with the Xtra-tool, but in addition, Skil Corporation is offering special accessories to give the Xtra-tool even more versatility. These optional ac cessories include Vt", Vi" and " wood chisels, W carving gouge, mortar grout chisel, and 1V" rigid and 3" flexible scrapers.

High Prices Expected On Fall Cattle Sales Prices well above those received last fall are expected when North Carolina cattlemen carry their calf crop to market in the next few weeks. Dr. John Lkerd, North Carolina State University extension livestock econ omist, said prices are Harrison E. Torain Dies After Illness Harrison Edward Torain, 73 of 1415 S. Alston Avenue, died Tuesday, October 8 after several months of declining health. A native of Person County, he was born April 2, 1900. He was the son of Ingram and Sally Bowles Torain, and the last of eleven children. He came to Durham at an early age. He was employed as a Chauffeur at the American Tobacco Company for a number of years. With his wife he served as foster parent of the now Mrs. Martha Vivian Branch Thorpe and Junius Torain. His memory always will be cherished by his wife, Martha Vivian and Junius and their children, his numerous relatives, and many friends. He was a person of great pride and courge, and a devoted husband. He made richer the lives of his family, relatives, friends, and all who shared thoughts and experiences with him. Funeral services were held at 1:00 p.m., Thursday, October 10, at the Ellis D. Jones Funeral Chapel. Burial was in Glennview Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Flossie Mae Torain. R for your child's safety Most fatal accidents from poisoning are to children less than five years of age and most of these could be pre vented, according to Dr. Al bert H. Domm, child safety specialist and medical direc tor of the Prudential Insur ance Co. "Common household prod ucts, found in virtually every room of the house, can be lethal if ingested by children," Dr. Domm said. "Curious toddlers will open almost any container they can get their hands on and . taste, if not devour, the contents," he warned. Dr. Domm suggests that in the kitch en and laun dry room, be wary of de ter gents, bleaches, fur niture polish- Dr. Albert oven H.

This would be roughly $15 above prices received a year ago and set an all-time record. "The price of feed will be a big factor in helping to determine the prices buyers are will , ing to pay for these feeders," Dr. Lkerd said. He suggested that calf prices could trail off later in the fall, if feed prices ease off as harvest moves into full swing. "But the outlook for good prices for feeder cattle is bright at this time." This, of course, is good news for the cattle man, but it will make at least' one decision all the more difficult to make that of whether or not to expand. If he already has' a cow herd, he must decide if he can afford to hold back some of his heifers for breeding in the face of strong market demand. If he is think ing of getting into the cattle business, he must decide if he can pay the abnormally high prices for breeding stock. "It's a tough ques tion," commented A. V. Allen, extension beef cattle specialist at North Carolina State Uni versity. "Under ideal conditions, we would like to see producers hold back heifers when prices are low and, when prices . get high, cash in by sell ing the entire crop. But at this time conditions look favorable for several years ahead at least long enough for a herd owner to recover the price of the heifer calves from the sale of their offspring." "I would encourage a good cattleman with a potential feed supply to go ahead and expand his herd." if Several avenues are open to the farmer who Wants to expand. He can keep the best heifers from his own herd, buy heifers from the fall feeder calf sales or from another reliable source 5br buy older cows already jp production.

However, unlike many previous such groups, this is an organization designed to promote the ideas of political Conservatism. The new group is the North Carolina Conservative Union, and is affiliated with the long established American Conservative Union. In organizing and adopting a Cosntitution, the North Carolina Conservative Union (NCC said Raiii4r-WtHiw-work with and within both the Democratic and Republican Parties, to pr o mote Conservative philosophy and candidates." Each political party is comp composed of both conservative and liberal members," the NCCU pointed out, "the important factor Is to promote Cosnervatives nomatter which political party they happen to belong to." The NCCU said that it hoped to accomplish several goals. The first goal is to publicize the voting record which each member of the General Assembly makes. The NCCU said that "Many North Carolina citizens know little about the record theii Legislators make one they are sent to Raleigh." To help remedv this lack of information the NCCU will compile and publicize the voting record of all our Legislators. The Conservative Union will issue in the immediate future a "rating" of how each of the members preformed according to their liberal-conservatiVe voting record. h l .-il I ' Another goal of the Union will be to draw attention to liberal-conservative issues which face the General Assembly. Also the NCCU hopes to raise money, through its arm the Conservative Victory Fund, to help favorable candidates for State offices. "The purpose of the Union to educate North Carolina citizens about the issues and the stands their elected officials take on them. For better or for worse, the voter must know the facts, the NCCU will try to help uncover these facts so that the voters will have all the information they need. We feel that if every voter knows the issues and the recird: 'thstnfteft'lrrlf elect candidates who hold to a sound conservative philosophy," said the Union. The NCCU stongly stressed the point that it would favoe neither political party over the other. Taken as n whole, the little more Conservative than the Democratic members as a whole. However, Eastern Democrats were more conservative than Republicans. There is a wide difference in philosophy in both delegations. For example, on of the most liberal Senators is the Republican floor leader Charles Taylor of Transylvania County while Democratic House leader Billy Watktns of Granville is a fairly strong Conservative. The charter Directors of the Union are: Dr. John P. East of Greenville; John Hutchens of High Point; Hugh J. Beard of Charlotte; Harry Clarke; More head Stack of Fayetteville; Dr. Clarence Philbrook of Chapel Hill; Dr. Cregg Singer of Catawba, John Freeman of Charlotte, and Tom Wilson of Nashville.

The Black Liberation Commit ic, a local organization of residents from all sectors of the Black community, announces its accomplishments for the 1972-73 year. The committee, which was formed subsequent to African Liberation Day (A.L.D.) 1972, has committed itself to developing programs and carrying out activities around the many issues and problems facing Black people. One of its most successful programs of the past year involved working in areas related to prison programs. Recognizing that the penal system in the state of North Carolina and indeed throughout the country, is used to further dehumanize, oppress and exploit men, women, and youth, the majority of them Black, the Black Liberation Committee developed and carried out a six point prison program. I he programs which provides physical support .to incarcerated brothers and sisters and at the same time push for much needed policy and structural changes in the penal system. The programs include: 1) A release program through which the Black Liberation Committee was instrumental in getting several inmates paroled. Members of the committee also served as community sponsors; 2) A Facilities Committee which visited seven units throughout the state; 3) An Education program through which the group conducted Black History Classes at the Guess Road Prison Unit in Durham and provided books and other reading materials to inmates; 4) A Political Prison Program through which the Black Liberation Committee set up a law clinic with NCCU law students and others, and developed a working relationship with the North Carolina Black Bar Association to look into disciplinary problems, rights of inmates, constitutional infraction and trial errors. 5) A Talent Search Committee which sold arts and crafts made by inmates and rJs. ab' ssr 'MTOft' : icffliiiiimiinffifffilWyT y Ti SSSSrnH'v'r i$Hr BsSMSBS SH RjRRjRRy8 jfa BmjHMr jKm aR-lKjfl w RRjm-u' ifSf j'" llSSR' ItBKilm RURfettka BBBBnSjMPSWl 31 RV 1 lfil collected and edited poetry received from inmates. ftsj Correspondence program through wnicn me Black Liberation Committee communicates with over one-hundred inmates at eighteen prison units throughout the state.

Wilkins Assails Decline In Government Integrity Blacks Must Save Their Colleges Jesse Jackson Tells Audience JSC COUNSELING CENTER IN ACTION - The Jackson State College Counseling Center, directed by Dr. William Brooks (seated, in center) has initiated a new publicity campaign geared to make known its increasing efforts to render services to Jackson State faculty, staff and students. Services rendered range from information and exploration to referral and testing. The Center has adopted the slogan "Who We Are And What We Are To You" to enhance its new image. ". GREENSBORO, N.C. - The immediate task facing blacks in the nation today is to save their colleges, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a speech here Monday nKmng- Jackson, National Director of PUSH (People United to Save Humanity), took issue with the melting pot theory. "American is not designed to create a one-race nation," he said in the speech at A&T State University. "We can be one tree with many branches and a society of many ethnic groups." Speaking about the melting pot theory, Jackson said, "If you pour people into a pot, they don't melt; they associate." If Brandeis and Yeshiva can exist as Jewish Colleges, which others can attend, and the Catholic Colleges can continue, we can justify the continued existence of A&T, Morehouse College, and Spell man College," which others can also attend," he said. Jackson, who was a student civil rights leader while at A&T some years ago, called for more political, can econmic involvement by blacks. "We fought the past 15 years to acquire our rights, but now we must fight to fulfill them, he said. Jackson pointed out that the nation's black colleges are graduating more than 20,000 students per year. He said that 80 percent of the college-trained blacks graduate from black colleges. "The black colleges have a real case for continuance," he said. Jackson's speech marked the annual fall convocation at A&T and the beginning of the 1973 Homecoming activities. In closing, Jackson urged the students to be ethnic, ethical and efficient. AUSTIN, Texas. Deploring the dissipation of "integrity in government," Roy Wilkins has called upon the nation to "return to the beliefs, although not necessarily to the methods, that made America unique among the countries of the world." The leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People delivered these remarks in an address in the Lyndon B. Johnson Library here, Oct.7, upon acceptance of the first Zalc Award for work in the field of civil rights. The $25,000 award, established in 1972 with a grant from the Zale Foundation to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation, was presented to Mr. Wilkins by Mrs. Johnson, co-chairman of the committee Which selected the NAACP leader in recognition of his "decided contribution to the cause of equal rights for all our people. The other co chairman of the selection committee is Dr William J. McGill, president of Columbia University. At the ceremony Dr. McGill announced that, upon suggestion of M.B. Zale, the donor, the award in the future will be known as the Lyndon R Johnson Award in memory of the President. "Integrity in government, Mr. Wilkins said, "is only one of our problems. If we try to work in civil rights we are stoDDed. Dhvsically or psychologically, bt crime, whether it is in Boston or Biloxi. In New York City one of the candidates yor public office has said hope to do anything constructively corrective about crime. "It is in this context that the work among the minorities must proceed. Black alleged criminals hold the spotlight in the violent crime picture. While this must be dealt with firmly and fairly, and swiftly it must be always recognized that the unemployment rate for blacks is twice to three times higher than that for the general population, with teenage black iyiJL unemployment at an all-time high. Nothing excuses ... the coldblooded and senseless, sickening crime charged to blacks, but no purely punitive measure are consonant with the high aims of our society. It must be remembered, too, that the black population is the principal victim of black criminals." Registration For Draft Remains Compulsory For Men at Age 30 "Registration for the draft is still compulsory for all young men at the age 18," according to William H. McCachren, State Director of Selective Service for North Carolina. McCachren further stated that an extensive effort is being made in North Carolina to inform 18-year-old of their primary responsibility to register with Selective Service. "Due to the fact that we are not currently drafting young men for military service," McCachren said, "some confusion has developed concerning the requirements to register, and we're trying to correct that impression through a state-wide program that will, first of all, help to batter inform young men of their responsibility to register, and second, make it easier for them to register." McCachren said that Selective Service personnel throughout the state are in the orocess of making local distribution of posters which inform 18-year-olds of their responsibility to register. "Within the next few weeks," McCachren stated, "we will have distributed more than 16.000 posters in our local communities." McCachren indicated that the posters will not only remind 18-year-olds of their responsibility to register; they will also contain information as to where they might register. "Budgetary requirements compelled us to dose 80 of our county local board offices," McCachren said, and in each county where the office has been closed, we have attempted to obtain the voluntary service of local citzens who will register our 18-year olds. "Public response has been outstanding to our requests for voluntary local assistance to help us accomplish our objectives young men can be registered quickly and easily in his home community. We plan to make it as easy as possible for our young men to discharge the responsibilities they have with Selective Service. McCachren stated that 18-year-old young men in Durham COUNTY who have not yet registered do so at the Durham COUNTY Veterans Service Office, 608 County Office Building or at N.C. Central University. Also, students at Duke University may register with Mr. Harry DeMik and students enrolled in the senior high school may register with their Guidance Counselor. NCCU Chancellor A. N.

Here Barnes explains one of his paintings, on exhibit at thai Atlanta High Museum of Art, to art student Saul B. Hayles Chancellor Albert N. Whiting of North Carolina Central University attended meetings of two major national educational groups in Washington this week. He presented the slate oi nominees for office in the American Council on Education at the ACE convention which ended yesterday. Chancellor Whiting has served as a member of the board of directors of the organization, whose membership includes public and private institutions of higher education. He will continue to serve on the ACE board, in a director's office allotted to the president of the 325 member American Association of State Colleges and Universities. He will assume that post on November 9. The board of directors of the AASCU met concurrently with the ACE convention. The special meeting dealt wish the recent report of the Committee for Economic Development, a business ftrouo. which called for large increases in tuition at public institutions of higher education. The AASCU has expressed opposition to the proposal and to a similar call for increased state tuition by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education Allan W.
