Columbia U. Criticized For Failure
To Put Black On Pulitzer Board
NEW YORK (NNPA) - Despite headed criticism of
Columbia University for not placing a black and a
female on the Pulitzer Advisory Board, the winners
were chosen a few weeks ago without the inclusidn of
the judgment of these two groups.
However, Editor Raymond Boone of the Afro
American Newspaper who has been pressing for the ap
pointment of a black and woman to the Board, has been
informed that Columbia is deeply concerned about such
representation, and is carefully studying implementa
tion of Boone's suggestion.
In his letter to Dr. William J. McGill, president of
Columbia, Boone wrote: "I. hope you, the Columbia
Trustees and the Pulitzer Advisory Board members, will
view my recommendation for broader, equatable
representation on the Pulitzer Advisory Board as an op
portunity to improve the Pulitzer Prizes selection pro
cess - which justifiably has come under heavy attack in
recent years for numerous reasons."
Continuing, the Afro editor said, "Failure to
capitalize on this opportunity, it seems to me, would
further tarnish the image of the Pulitzer Prizes and

. At th oca h eh school,
employees are getting their blood
pressure checked by a group of
health department nurses.
As part of the routine examina
tion the familiar blood cuff is wrap
ped around each; person's arm
above the elbow for a blood
pressure reading. .
Everyone except the principal,
Mrs. Jones, had a good reading.
Mrs. Jones' pressure was above nor
mal which meant high blood
pressure. This worries her because
she had no symptoms to warn her of
having high blood, pressure, she ex
presses her anxiety to the nurse who
reassures her that everything will be
alright once she sees the doctor for
treatment.
Like Mrs. Jones, millions of peo
ple are unaware that their blood
pressure is high and a possible silent
killer if not treated in time.
Hypertension which' means high
blood pressure is a very cqmmon
health problem affecting the heart
and blood vessels. Mrs. Jones is just
one person out of 35 million
with
' high blood
What is high blood pressure? It is
when a person's blood pressure goes
up and stays up.. Although there is
no cure for high blood -pressure once
it develops, if can be controlled.
Often, controlling high blood
pressure involves medication, exer
cise, and diet. Sometimes medica
tion alone will control high blood
pressure. The type and amount of
medication depends on what the
doctor prescribes for you. Any
questions you have about your
treatment should be discussed with
your doctor.
Even if you can't feel it, high
blood pressure is affecting your
body every moment. The chances of
getting a stroke, heart and kidney
failure are greatly increased to the
person with hypertension, if it goes
untreated.
This health problem strikes peo
ple of every age, even children.. It
can affect nervous people, as well as
calm people. The only way to know
if your blood pressure is up is to
measure it. No one can tell for sure
by the way he or she feefe. ::
N ' Following your doctor's instruc
tions, .. keeping appointments for
checkups, and, taking your medial
, tion everyday on time will help the
person with high blood pressure to
lead a normal and full life,
Family members of , person with
high blood pressure can help too.
For example, after Mrs. Jones got
home and explained to her family of
four about her health problem, th
jey showed how much they loved
and cared for her by encouraging
her to follow through on the
necessary treatment. This type of
emotional support demonstrates
that her family love her and want
her life to be as long ami as healthy
as possible. Encouragement and
understaning from close ones will
help that person to stick with that
necessary treatment to keep hisher
blood pressure ; down. r Although
your high blood pressure won't be
cuared, it will be under control and
that's good! As May has been
designeated as High Blood Pressure
month see your doctor or go to your
local health departent for a blood
pressure check TODAY!

At the turn of the century, William States Lee
had already gained practical experience in
electric power plant design and
construction.
Dr. W. Gill Wylie, at prominent New
York surgeon who hailed from Chester,
S.C., hired Lee to complete construction
ot a hydroelectric plant on the Catawba
River near Rock Hill. On March 30,
1904, electricity from the plant
flowed through coppe wire to a
nearby cotton xnill.

Lee, a brilliant engineer from South
Carolina, dreamed of the day that dams and
power plants would cojivert the Catawba River
into useful energy for all the people of the
Piedmont Carolihas.
Dr.. Wylie conveyed Lee's dream to James
Buchanan JDuke, a wealthy businessman who
was Wyiie's patient. The three men pooled
their energies and talents and formed the
Southern Power Company, later to become
Duke Power.
With the completion in 1963 of Cowans Ford
Dam, which forms Lake Norman, the last
free-flowing waters of the Catawba were .
harnessed. And Lee's dream came true.
Today, hydro, plants and huge, modern
steam-electric plants fueled by coal or
uranium-continue to provide energy for
Piedmont people and industries.
