Watch Excitement Develop Before Your Eyes
A whole new wo rid of photographic excitement has just been invented the Polaroid SX-70
Land Camera. 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

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

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.
Getting Back To Nature
Rock City Ganhnjf Provides Inspiring Setting
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, OA.
"Listen, and the flowers will
whisper a prayer. Please leave
them untouched for others to
hear." This courteous greet
ing is placed on a sign in the
entrance of Rock City Gar
dens, located on historic
Lookout Mountain near Chat
tanooga, Term.
Though It would take a
dreamer to actually hear the
prayers supposedly uttered by
the varied species of beauti
ful flowers in the rock won
derland, the serenity gained
from merely being near one of
rature's most generous offer
ings is gratifying.
In an era when man is des
perately seeking to get back
to nature, Bock City provides
a simple solution. Walking
along the flagstone paths and
viewing the towering trees and
colorful flowers is a fascinat
ing experience in itself.
The closeness to nature that
the visitor feels is totally in
describable, even after con
sidering the fact that Rock
City is one of the top twelve
most frequented travel attrac
tions in the United States.
Plush mountain laurel and a
variety of rhododendrons cover
the sides of the trails with
glistening beauty.
In May and early June tour
ists are awed by the flowers'
enchanting beauty. Hovering
over the paths are massive
white pines and hemlocks,
providing welcome shade in
summer months.
Viewing the naturally formed

rocks is an intriguing exper
ience. As the trail winds
through nooks and crannies,
the visitor feels almost like an
intruder.
But he is most certainly not,
for the scenic wonderland is
designed especially for his in
dulgence. Mountain moss follows the
trails along, clinging fmer
ously to smooth rock forma
tions and accenting the kal
eidoscope of flowers native
to the area.
Wild azaleas and day lilies
grow prolifically in carefully
planned sections of the trails.
But the flowers, trees, and
diverse rock formations are
only a part of nature's whole
in this inspiring setting. Each
element blends with others to
provide a peaceful sanctity
for visitors.
Walk the carefully laid out
and cared for paths, and pause
occasionally to partake of a
newfound serenity, a peace be
yond understanding. An easy
way to "get back to nature."

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

expected to hold up well
going into the fall sales
season and may range
around $65 per hundred
weight. 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

New Political Action Group Is
Organized In North Carolina
CHAPEL HILL-- A new
political action group has been
formed in North Carolina.
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

As part of its education
program the committee has set
up a radio series call cell-block,
aired every Saturday on

and has met with several prison
officials and administrators
within the North Carolina
Department of Corrections to
discuss problems, and
programs.
In areas of local concern the
Committee worked to mobilize
people for African Liberation
Day 1973, and help to raise
funds for the United African
Appeal. The Committee
sponsored a WAFR week
which netted the station
$600.00.
On a national level the
committee pushed for repeal of t
the Byrd Amendment in an
attempt to halt the United
States support of the racist
require of Southern Africa.
The group holds weekly

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.
