ramp room operating (heater ' . Intensive care room
With its mini-loop HF antenna looking much like a child's wind-up toy, the Lockheed Air
craft Service Company (LAS) Emergency Hospital Aircraft awaits delivery on the flight line
of the LAS Ontario, California, facility. The first fully equipped, self-contained airborne
emergency care facility, it can provide medical care at remote locations for up to 72 hours.
Patients enter the hospital aircraft into the ramp room, (lower left) which serves both as a
reception area and as a storage area for some of the mobile medical care equipment It is
also a conditioning chamber, so that no conditioned air is lost each time the door is opened.
The room has been constructed and attached so that it raises with the ramp. Situated in the
center wheel well of the aircraft for stability, (center) the operating theater features a hydrau
lically operated surgical table and a complement of the latest and most modern equipment
available. This includes an anesthesia machine and patient monitor, which provides doctors
with a patient's vital statistics during surgery. An electro-surgery unit allows the surgeon to
cut and cauterize during surgery. One of four main compartments on the Emergency Hos
pital Aircraft is the Intensive Care or Critical Care-Recovery area (Lower Right). Located
here is a critical care bed specially equipped to handle most emergencies. A radio teleme
try capability allows doctors to communicate with a base hospital and have vital medical data
transmitted and analyzed. Four intensive-care beds accommodate other patients, with full
patient monitors as well as oxygen, aspiration and ventilating equipment; I.V. hangers and
infusion pumps. A physician's station, pictured in the foreground, monitors all beds and
records cardiac and other conditions.

A group of Durham
businessmen appeared
before the City Council at
its regular meeting, Mon
day night, June 15, to re
quest that a resolution to
increase water and sewer
rates, proposed by the
Finance Committee, be
restructured to gradually
phase in the increases.
The resolution, propos
ed two weeks, ago, sug-'
gests a 17 increase for
residents and a 52 in- .
crease for large users of
water and sewers.
Speaking at a public
hearing on the budget,
several businessmen, led
by a representative of the
Durham Chamber of
Commerce Study Com
mittee, cited the large
financial increases they
would be compelled to pay
if the resolution passes the
full council.
All of the businessmen
said that their fiscal
budgets are made in ad
vance and that they are
unable to restructure these
budgets to absorb the
huge costs that the pro
posed new rates would en
tail. If the resolution passes

Greeks Discuss Pressing Problems of Black Americans
ATLANTA, GA. Heads of seven of the eight major black Greek-letter
organizations met recently In Atlanta, Ga., to discuss pressing problems fac
ed by black AmerJtans and an agenda for attacking them collectively.
"This meeting is historic, because it marks the first time black sororities
and fraternities have joined to address the plight of black people," said Ozell
Sutton, General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and host of the
group. "Together we have a network of some 4,500 chapters and a combin
ed membership of over 550,000 college graduates or students. If we can t,
or wont, assume in active leadership role in the black struggle for justice and
equality, then we as a black race are in pretty bad shape."
Action taken at the all-day workshop included plans to (1) seek n lm-
Century Oaks
merits
mediate meeting with Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig, Jr., to discuss
American foreign policy related to Africa, and especially as It relates to
"racist South Africa," (2) testify and a campaign to extend the Voting Rights
Act and to make the birthday of Dr. Martin L.King, Jr., a national holiday,
and (3) sponsor a national conference on child exploitation.

Durham, N.C.
: By Donald M arable
With the help or the
mass rally held at the
Durham County Stadium
on Sunday, June 14, lor
the murdered youth . in
Ailanta and concern for
children across the nation,
many will be wearing a tec
shirt that portrays a strong
symbol.
Carl Green, public rela
tions manager or Tec
Shirts lor Atlanta
Children, said, "the wear
ing of the shirts represents
a stronger symbol. The
children are oi"- future
and the situation in Atlan
ta and across the nation is
getting more sciious."
Green noted that he will
have ,10 put. in another
order with production as
over sixty shirts. were sold
in a short while with many
orders being placed. "The
' shirts are fast becoming a
very special souvenir.
Naturally all people will
remember this event,
because it is truly becom
ing a page in histoty as an
emotional high point in
race relations and the
possible genocide of the
black race. But unlike a
ribbon, which may
become lost or slowly lose
its meaning, the tee-shirts
are a representation of a ,
suit pf armor and with the ,
inscription on them, they,
will never be forgotten."
The tee shirts have a
pair of praying hands
centered in the middle of
the back, with the words
"SAVE ATLANTA'S
CHILDREN" surroun
ding them. The shirts are
colored cither green with
black lettering or wh'tc'
with green lettering; and
there arc sizes to fit all. 1 , 1

1981. .
No residential users ap
peared at the public hear
ing to protest the 17 in
crease stipulated in the
resolution, but Cecil
Brown, assistant city
manager, said that there
had been no previous an
nouncement to citizens
that this item would ap
pear on Monday night's
agenda.
Another item in the
budget that caused
disagreement among
council members was the
pay plan amendment item.
. Barry DelCastilho, city
manager, had requested a
97o cost of living increase
for all employees below
the 25th pay range, and a
4o ' increase, beginning
July I, followed by a 57o
increase January , 1982,
for all employeei above
the 25th pay range. Coun
cilman Pickett jnade a mo
tion to grant a 97o in
crease in all pay ranges.
The motion passed.
Some councilmen in
quired about the necessary
funds to finance such a
pay raise and DelCastilho
cited sources from which
$53,000 Could be secured.
Several human services
organizations in the city
have appeared before, the
council to .request funds,
but have been told that
limited funds prohibited
the council from granting
their requests.'
The Battered Women
Coalition returned to the
council , Monday re
questing an additional
$3,500 which Mrs. Mary
Ingram, a spokesman for
the organization, said .it
tion, supervision, and
legal help for women who
are physically abused. ;
The council referred the
water and sewer proposal
along with several
other budget items
back to a special commit
tee which will meet Thurs
day, June 18, for further
discussion. These items
are scheduled for official
action in a special meeting
of the full council, Mon
day night, June 22, at 7:30
p.m. ...
Shortly before the con
clusion of the discussion
on the pay plan amend
ment, Councilman
Pledger offered a motion
that the council consider
using the $53,000 surplus
to grant some of the
"requests for funds by
organizations whose re.
