MRS. HASKINS
Carl Pliher beautifully epitomizes the characteristics of
persons born under the sign Pisces (February 20-March 20) in a
' At times you seem the social kind,
Who sees the party through;
Again, by subtle change of mind,
A soulful dreamer, you,
Humanitarian to the core,
Good causes you hold dear
And to the tale of hardship lend'
A sympathetic ear.
Jdra. Pearl Haskins is a Piscean; March 17th is her birthdate;
she Uvea on Dearborn Drive, in Bragtown. At 73, she is an
aatrontehingly beautiful, handsomely shaped woman. Mrs.
Haskins has been member of Union Baptist Church since she was
5 1.0 years old; she joined the church under the pastorship of the
' reverend J. A. Lewts-during the 20's.
Like most Plsceans, she is profoundly devoted to her church,
however, she has always avoided the glow of the nebulous
Mueiib-yellow light of the spotlight the way one avoids the
plague. "Miss Pearl" was one of the hostesses of the Pastor's Aid
Society who worked with the Nightingales during their 27th
Anniversary celebration; at Durham High School, on November
4th. She proudly wore the Aid's yellow and white colors and
glided through the crowd as gracefully and sure-footed as any of
the younger hostesses.
H When I asked Mrs. Haskins what was the secret of her eternal
youthfumesK, she came off with one of her typical gasps; then,
I she laughted; a gurgling laughterFinally she spoke up; "God keeps
iim youngand too, I love people; young and old. George, I just
love people I don't have a car to get around in, so, I don't visit as
much as I'd like to, but my heart is with my church folks."
Sunday, November 11th, The Pastor's Aid Society observed its
9th Anniversary. The theme: "Patience." A timely theme in times
like these. A quote from The Sun Dial reads thusly: "the secret of
patience is doing something else in the meanwhile." A Chinese
Proverb defines patience adequately: "Nothing is so full of
victory as patience."
The 9th Anniversary Observance was highlighted by the Ture
Way Holiness Church of 1410 Gillette Street, Durham; Bishop
W.A Jones, minister.
Mrs. Maxlne Mason was the M-Cee for the occasion. Mrs. Sarah
Bruce Historian for the P's A.S., accounted for the Organization's
time and efforts during the past 9 years. The 1973 progress report
reveals that the U.B.Fs A. Society has achieved its marvelous
record through "Patience" and doing the job at hand just a little
better than "the best I can." This judicious business acumen has
won for them the enviable position of being "A-l" hv
Achievement, Popularity, Perennial Services to pastor and church
family.
Other persons contributing to the success of this 9th
Anniversay commemoration were: Mmes. Emma Gaddy,
Elizabeth Edwards; Charles Cameron; deacons of The True Way
Holiness Church, and the great challenge extended to the Pastor's
Aid Society In the pastor, Dr. Grady D. Davis's summary of the

Learning to Recognize
'Buy' Devices Helpful
RALEIGH Between
the "In" door of the
grocery store and the
checkout counter, you'll
find many techniques to
encourage you to buy. But
if you're aware of these
devices, you can save
yourself some money.
Notice what items are
placed at eye level. It's
a valuable spot one
you're likely to notice,
says Mrs. Ruby Uzsle,
extension consumer
marketing economist,
North Carolina State
University.
How many of your
buys come from eye
level, rather than off the
bottom shelf? Also,
special displays at the
ends of the aisles are
choice spots for sales
since you'll be passing
around them. And
"kiddle displays" are
placed especially to
attract youngsters' rest
less eyes.
"Hitchhiking" is
another placement tech
nique. Salad dressing
is next to the produce.
Chips and dips and
oraokers and oheese ct i
be found together. If yo i
buy one item, sellers
hope you will buy the
companion product.
The greatest consum
er hazard in the super-
market is Impulse buy-

lng. And the grand
impulse point is the
checkout line. While
you're standing there,
waiting, gum and candy
may easily find their way
into your cart.
And aroma baked
goods, fruit, freshly
brewed coffee. Can a
shopper resist buying
especially If the store
is offering samples to
taste?
Pricing is another
sales technique. The
advertised "loss leader"
or "super-special" of
the week may draw you
to the store. Once you' re
there, the grocer hopes
you'll buy additional
items.
Packaging is a "silent
salesman." Size, shape
and color are keys to
attracting your attention.
Be aware of which items
dominate the shelves.
You can win in
the supermarket game.
Awareness and informa
tion can help you shop
wisely.
Life Begins At 62'i
By George Rum
"Whatcha mean?" Miss Madie shouted when no other words
came into her befuddled brain. She stood petrified. She had heard
Cora Mae distinctly say that "Mister Ben" was passing; but, for
the life of her, she could not muster enough courage to run to his
bed side and hear his last words before he passed on into eternity.
Emma Lou, apparently, Had everything under control in a
matter of seconds; she waddled across the room, flaying her
hands wildly, and saying all manner of ludicrous things;
"Miss helfer-dust - I'll spUiUrour ugly face six ways with my
bare hands. What ha!ve you done to my daddy?
you you black-cow!" And away she rolled.
Cora Mae was a tough, little woman; a simpleton in the eyes of
the unschooled in the ways of some tacturn persons. Cora Mae
wasn't much of a talker but she could fight like a frightened,
wounded tigress being hunted. She was a little piece of leather,
but she was well put together. The childlike-woman had cut her
teeth on hard knocks; fighting to survive had become a way of
life for Cora Mae. Fear, hunger, suspicion, vituperation and
bellicosity had always set the tempo of her nature more readily
than did a store-house of positives; so, Emma Lou unknowingly
brushed wings with pugnacity. Suddenly, Cora Mae was all over
the obese woman. However, the clawing, wiry, little woman was
no match for the huge, snorting woman. With a few shakes, her
assailant was off her wide back and rolling on the floor. Emma
Lou's pretty face was scratched and her lovely pink dress was
busted under the arms, but, otherwise, she was in excellent
condition. And while Miss Madie stood startled speechless, and
Cora Mae grappled to regain her footing, Emma Lou bounced
into her father's bedroom and banged the door behind her.
Cora Mae was so taken aback by the freakish abortion of the
battle, so much so, that she ran weeping to Miss Madie. Weeping
did not come easy to Cora Mae, therefore, she had to snort, snot,
cough and nearly retch before wet tears streamed down her
cheeks.
Miss Madie patted and squeeze the trembling, skinny, young
woman who clung to her like a hurt child. For consolation, she
interspersed a pat and a squeeze with, "there-there b'god." She
felt like a drunk at prayer meeting, trying to soothe Cora,
however, she was glad to have something to do to take her mind
off the closed door between her and "Mister Ben."
At the precise moment when she was on the verge of telling
Cora Mae to dry up her wailing tears and go home, she left her
bosom and quietly left the room. Then Miss Madie walked
straight to the closed door of "Mister Ben's bedroom and
knocked hard upon it. She knocked again and again, but there
was no response to her frantic knocking. So, she began calling out
to Emma Lou; softly at first, but after several subdued cryouts
and no response, she began yelling; "Emma Lou! Emma Lou!
open this door, woman!"
Finally, wringing her hands desparingly, she left the door. How
could anyone be so stupid as to lock himself inside the room with
a dying person? She had believed all along that Emma Lou was
"tetched" in the head-now she was a living witness that the
woman was a fool. The idea of using a hammer to break in was a
morsel of thought that grew to great size, fast and furiously,
inside her throbbing head. And while she stood wringing her
hands, the front door opened and Cora Mae rushed In; "I went
and got doctor Stanford, Miss Madie!"
"Come right In doc-I hope your luck Is better .than mine."
Miss Madie said, smiling up to the tall, handsome physician.
He gave her a devilish wink of the eye and said; "you're still an
old flirt, Mis Madie. His voice was teasing. "What have you done
Mucked in her breath, "Thta ..n't

Momentarily, a frown distorted the smooth "
forehead of the nattily dressed doctor. He set hta brown leather
bag on the divan, then strode toward the wide white door At the
precise moment he raised his fist to rap the door, it opened
suddenly and Emma Lou's bulk crowded the doorway and, in a
tear streaked voice she said, "Come in doctor Stanford, I think
there has been foul play in the death of my saint-en iam.

Experimentation Dealing WMh
Humans Given Scrutiny at Duke
By Yvonne Baskin
In 1796 Edward Jenner
took a amall boy and
vaccinated hia arm with1
oowpox, then exposed the boy
to smallpox to see if he would
catch the dreaded disease.
The boy did not, and
Jenner's vaccination
experiments laid the
foundation for the future of
preventive medicine.
A researcher today would
find it almost Impossible to get
approval for such an
experiment on a healthy child,
and yet Jenner's research led to
the saving of millions of lives.
The history of human
experimentation In medical
' research embodies all the best
and all the worst in the human
character, from the horrors of
Hazi experiments to the
self-sacrifice and dedication of
Ignatz Semmelweis and P.C.A.
Louis.
It was Semmelweis who
showed that the dirty hands of
doctors were carrying disease
to pregnant women and
causing thousands of deaths
from "childbed fever."
But he could not talk his
fellow doctors into taking part
in controlled studies-washing
their hands for some patients
and not for others-so that he
could prove his point. His zeal
for handwashing so offended
and estranged his colleagues
that Semmelweis died in an
insane asylum.
In the mid-Nineteenth
Century, when bloodletting was
popular and the leach trade
was booming in Europe, Louis
used statistics and careful
clinical examination to show
that his long-accepted practice
was not useless but probably
harmful to patients. His
experiments required that he
be allowed to deny a normal
and accepted treatment to
certain patients in order to
prove that they did as well or
better without it.
The progress of medicine
throughout history has come
because researchers were able
to question and test the value
of standard therapies and put
them against more effective
new treatments. The catch is
that ail treatments intended for
use in humans must eventually
be tested in humans. And this
involves moral questions of
how much risk a person can be
exposed to for what potential
benefit.
The fine line between what
is morally acceptable in the
way of human experimentation
and what Is not has never
received more public attention
than it Is getting today.
As a result, the government
and institutions which carry
out medical research are setting
up tighter controls over human
experimentation and providing
more safeguards for the
patients taking part in
experiments.
Duke University Medical
Center has had since the
mid-1960's a formal review
committee on human
investigation which must
approve all proposed research
involving human subjects -from
psychiatric questionnaires to
new experimental surgical
techniques. Before this it was
the responsibility of each
department chairman to
oversee the research in his area
and insure that it was both
scientifically and morally
sound.
The review group, called the
Committee for Clinical
Investigations, has been in its
present form since July, 1972.
Its 17 members include a
lawyer, minister, medical
student, community
representative, a member of
the medical center
administration and
representatives of the
departments of anesthesiology,
medicine, nursing,
obstetrics-gynecology,
ophthalmology, pathology,
pediatrics, psychiatry,
psychology, radiology,
sociology and surgery.
Or. Jerome S. Harris,
professor of pediatrics and
chairman of the committee,
said that the group has never
approved a project on anything
but a unanimous vote. If a
single member expresses
reservations about a project.

Professor Finds Many Teachers 'Unrealistic'
Remember your secondary
school days, those dear old
golden rule days when you
learned 'riting, 'rithmetic and
most likely how not to read?
As well as you might have,
that is. Chances are, if you're
over 30, you learned reading
skills from a teacher who
wasn't qualified to help you
master an indispensable tool of
modern life. And your children
may be getting a smaller dose
of the same thing.
Reading instruction has
come a long way in the last few
years, but too many students
in 1973 are still being
handicapped by "unrealistic"
teachers, says Duke University
education professor R. Baird

argues in an article ior me
Pea body Journal of Education,
oftne "make too strenuous an
effort to direct students'
literary tastes, forgetting that
their basic job with deficient
readers is to get them to read
by the most suitable means
available."
In most cases, according to
Shuman, the teacher who stops
to asses how most adults
actually use their reading skills
will discover they generally
read newspapers, magazines,
letters, billboards, labels,
advertisements, traffic signs
and similar media.
"Perhaps," says Shuman, "it
is with this sort of material
that reading instruction must
begin."
S human's list of adult
reading materials includes just
about everything except books.
He says the average college
graduate reads only three
books a year.
A mere "handful" of
students will develop a lasting
appreciation for the giants of
literature, Shuman says, so
teachers should try to make
other students "more critical
readers" of what they prefer.
Shuman believes teachers
should give students
considerable freedom to
choose what they want to read,
rat h w than pjgg-select materials
for diem before they ever enter
the classroom
"Once a student is reading
for himself rather than for his
teacher, he will begin to
develop his reading skills with
little conscious awareness that
he is doing so," Shuman
main ta rns.
The Duke educator takes
vigorous exception in most
instances to allowing English
teachers to handle exclusively
the additional responsibility of
teaching reading skills.
English teachers, Shuman
said in an interview, can
provide only one part of the
reading spectrum Usually this
segment deals with grammar
and literature, two subjects
hardly dear to the hearts of
many students not interested
in going to college.
Shuman believes every
secondary school teacher
should be prepared to furnish
reading instruction, including
math and chemistry teachers.
"There are different reading
problems in different subject
areas," he said.
Too many high school
students today, he added, are
deficient in reading skills,
partly because reading
specialists remain fairly
uncommon.
Another reason, Shuman
said, lies in the "broad base" of
high school students, who span
a wide range of intellectual
achievement.
Shuman criticized educators
who give up entirely on
students who fail to grasp the
basics of reading by age 16,
saying these students can still
enjoy intellectual experiences
through television and
audio-visual aids, especially
tape cassettes.
Shuman also has some view
on a vexing problem that faces
reading teachers, that of
dialect.
"Black English" is a case in
point, he explained, and it is
one that requires a reading
teacher to suspend middle-class
judgments in exchange for
learning the ways of the
ghetto. Shuman himself did
this in Philadelphia.
Reading teachers "must
understand the various facets,
of the community" ' from
which their students are drawn,
Shuman said, and must try to
learn the language of subgroups
within it.
Shuman advocates reading
teachers that are "both human
and humane" in their approach
to students and willing to
"accept students as people
with the"' backgrounds which
they bring into the classroom"
