Bioethics Seminar To Be Held Thursday
A "Bioethics Seminar",
exploring biological and
ethical aspects of
developments in medical
research and. health care,
ivill be held at St. Joseph's
AME Church, Durham,
on Thursday, July
beginning at 7:30 p.m., in
4he Pearson Conference
Center.
Two topics of special
concern to black and
minority Americans (1)
The low cancer survival
and cure rate. Reasons
why, and (2) Genetic
Screening - resource or
weapon? will be
discussed by a scientist,
physician, minister and
lawyer to explore alter
native points of view.
The seminar is designed
to provide information
about cancer and explore
reasons why its incidence
and fatality rates have in
creased for minorities in
the U.S. Genetic screen
ing, particularly as it
relates to sickle cell
anemia, will be reviewed
as both a desirable process
to help detect genetic
defects and an un
necessary means of
tampering with natural
life processes. To be
discussed are questions
such as, why isn't black
America aware of the im
portance of the early
detection of cancer, what
does genetic screening
mean for carriers of sickle
cell anemia trait, what is
amniocentesis (detects
gene abnormality) and,
what ultimate effect do
new medical treatments
and break-throughs have
on the quality of life for

is concerned with the
potential of hazardous
landfills to momentarily
explode. Under constant
study of the characteristics
of hazardous waste are
properties if ignitability,
corrosivity, reactivity, and
toxicity.
Reactivity and ig
nitability are the two pro
perties associated with ex

D, section 261.23,
"Characteristics of Reac

Register, a hazardous
waste with these
characteristics (1) readily

change, 2) react violently
or form -potentially ex

water, (3) generate toxic
fumes when mixed with
water, (4) explode when
subjected to a strong in

at normal temperatures
and pressures, (6) fit with"

We will climb the mountain together.
Every Sunday, over 8 million people tune in to Dr. Robert
Schuller and the Hour of Power, And the number is growing
each week, because Dr. Schuller-and his message, "Possi
bility Thinking" are real.
Possibility Thinking is simply the way of the Lord-the
teachings of the Bible adapted to today's language and
lifestyles. Possibility Thinking is seeing your life as it is and
believing how much better it can be. Possibility Thinkers
believe that you can do more for yourself and more for
others-than you're doing today. And Possibility Thinkers
succeed. ' : '
Give your soul a lift on the fifth. Tune in the Hour of Power.
Sunday, July 5th.
It's working for millions of people today. And it will work
for you. If you think that's just a rapit it sounds too good
to be true challenge it. Dare to believe in success. Dare
to start a better way of life. Bring your family together
this Sunday for an Hour of Power. Travel with Dr. Schuller

Hunt Praises
Assembly For
Action Of Bills
RALEIGH Gover
nor Jim Hunt recently
praised the General
Assembly for its favorable
action on two pieces of
legislation an enacted
bill that will make drivers'
license registration lists,
and voter registration rolls
the primary lists from
which jurors are called
and pending legislation
that would ban dangerous
weapons at demonstra
tions and other public'
gatherings.
"I commend the
members of the General
Assembly for enacting
legislation that will make
our system of selecting
prospective jurors more
equitable and more
representative of our total
population. The previous
system, which relied on
' property tax " rolls "and
voter registration lists, did
not fairly represent
minorities and womenf"
the Governor said. .
"I want to thank the
Human Relations Coun
cil, the Crime Commission
and the Courts Commis
sion for their active sup
port of this legislation,"
he said.
The N.C. Senate gave
final approval to the bill
June 26.. The House had
approved the legislation.
It 'went into effect July I .
On the . dangerous
weapon bill, Hunt said, "I
also commend the Senate
Judiciary I committee
members for . their
favorable action earlier
this week oh legislation to
prohibit dangerous
weapons in the vicinity of
parades and public
demonstrations.
"Law enforcement of
ficers must have the
authority to protect the
public from extremist
elements who would
perpetrate violence at
public gatherings. This
legislation will allow oU
ficers to take preventive
action before violence
erupts. That is why I made
this bill a part of the anti
crime package 1 submitted
to vthe Legislature," he
said.
"I urge the full Senate
to promptly enact this im
portant legislation into
law," Hunt added.
The bill was spearhead
ed by the Humaij Rela
tions Council and would
make it a misdemeanor to
possess or have immediate
access to a dangerous
weapon at a parade,
funeral procession, picket
line or demonstration held
in a public place.
The House of .Represen
tatives has approved the
legislation. It is now
awaiting action by thejull
Senate. If enacted, the
legislation would become
effective October I. ;
