If you include the discouraged who are no " longer: seeking employ ment, it goes up to 24.6 per cent. One out of every four blacks is unemployed today." " Speaking at a lun cheon meeting, she said, The government has promised a lot of jobs by 1986. But if you are unemployed and hungry today, that's not a lot of comfort. . . .What are poor people supposed to do whiip the economy gets on the track? Keep . up your agitation, ' "she urged. "It is unpatriotic to be silent in the face.of injustice." " Speaking that evening, on the panel that includ ed Julian Bond, Dr. Harvey Brenner of Johns Hopkins University reported on research at . Johns Hopkins that reveals that the poorer a country or region, the' shorter the average life span. He also pointed out that it has been pro ven that economic condi tions are the dominant factor in developing what we understand as character and morality. "As economic condi tions break down," he1 said, "people become capable of behavior so ; ShOCkim? that thev are ' 9 rfniuH rnmmitmpnt unable to talk about it to affirmative action Churches' Program to Combat Racism, challenged not .only the church but also the U.S. Constitution in his speech at noon Wednesday. "Racism is always ultimately a "war against people," he said. "This country has a white constitution writ ten by .whites to benefit whites. Others can get only crumbs from this document. "The scandal of white racism in the world," he said, "is that it has been preserved in the name of Jesus Christ. Racism is not only a sin and an evil but also a crime against humanity. . . .There can be no peace of any kind in the world unless there is justice." ; , How to correct the ills that had been placed before them by the speakers was the task of various strategy sessions. In addition to gathering in the denominational groups, the participants also met in workshops from which came the conference's major resolutions. Most denominational groups concluded that very few minorities were employed in decision making positions in the institutional church.

'.. ;' " - Since Denver, Col orado is known as the "Mile High City," Dr. G. Wesley Allen, im perial director of medical services for the PH Shrine organization of fers some . suggestions and information to those planning to attend. What is High Altitude? Broadly inter preted, high altitude could be said to be anything 5,280 feet (1,609 kilometers) in elevation. About three quarters of the nation's land above 10,000 feet lies in Colorado. Col orado's average eleva- virnnmnt fmm caq IauaI ' to altitude can produce ' symptoms of nausea, in somnia, diarrhea, restlessness, shortness, of breath and air hunger. Palpitations or fast .heart beat, , headache, tiasal congestion, coughr in creased flatulance ; or "gas", easy fatigue and intolerence to exertion also may be experienced. If the high altitude ex perience progresses, more shortness of breath and increased cough and eaema or tiuid ac ears; a feeling of warmth and flushing, of the face, soon - after, arrival; troubled sleep and ir ritability. . Most symp toms usually subside within a few hours, but , the . American t Medical Association recommends you reduce your physical activity, eat very lightly, and go to bed for a few hours Upon arrival. If ; any of the symptoms do not go away in a short time, notify your Shrine Physicians. What can be done to adapt to high altitude?; -Upon arrival to high altitude, don't overdo. Eat lightly. For the first 48-72 hours avoid cumulation in the lungs' alcohol. Alcohol ag occur requiring medical "v feravates the high altitude attention and possible hospitalization. Symptoms of altitude sickness, . according to afterward.1 Brenner said that it has been shown that unemployment and deteriorating economic conditions have strong relations to violent crime and the . destruction of property. He warned, "In this country we are facing . simultaneously high rates fo violence, and a large increase of violence against ' minorities. , Unless and : until we come to terms with unemployment and economic distress, we -will not be able to con trol violence." The church itself was challenged by the speakers and by the par ticipants who gathered in denominational "hopfc groups" to analyze re,1sm within their, own institutional structures and to plan strategies for dealing with racism they identified. Bishop James Arm strong, president of the National Council of Churches, opened the i consultation with a j challenge: "Our task ! here is more poignant, I more direct than we would have believed two ' years ago. The theme is oneness. .We are now at a ; more crucial place for wiping out racism, and bringing justice, than in any time before or dur ing the last 200 years." Dr. Claire Randall, general secretary of the NCC, followed up this challenge with a closing speech, a renewal of the commitment of the na tion's largest ecumenical agency. "The commit ment of the National Council of Churches to racial justice is serious and has ' been since its ' founding in 1950," she said. "Given what was achieved in the '60s, we did not expect to - be again where we are today in the struggle to over come racism in this country. "Our major strategy in the Council now is to And new ways of educa- tion and communication that will make it possible for a larger number of , people to understand the: present situation," Ran dall continued, "and to 1 m ke more visible to people the needs of those who are the least visible ' in our society." During the con ference, white churches were called. on; to be especially conscientious about the struggle for civil rights. The Rev. Thomas Kilgore, pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles, . spoke at noon Thursday and urged white chur chy to continue to sup-: port racial justice now, tn their own churches and communities, with " the same fervor that they supported the struggle during the 1950s and '60s when the struggle was in . the South. . . Dr, Anwar Barkat, director of the World " within the church and to putting pressure on key decision-makers to in sure that minority view points are represented in ; church structures. In addition to the resolutions in the "Call; to the Nation," the con ference also noted the! alarming rise in Ku Klux Klan and other racist violence; said that "Hai tian refugees are vie- timized as a consequence of racism in the U.S."; and addressed problems Of hunger,' racism in the media, the connections between racism, militarism and the Third World, and called for, continuing federal sup-1 jort for education. Sheriff (Continued from Front) fering county residents ! police protection. Currently arstaf f of 26 deputies divided into , four squads withN four j lieutenants included, make up the patrol divi-1 sion, operating around I the clock. Allen said ! there are ten or eleven patrolmen working each shift. An aggressive crime prevention program, Allen said, is also in place to help the fight -against crime. It includes Neighborhood Watch and Operation Iden tification. Currently, , about 200 residential: areas participate, he . said. ' .. Of the six major crimes . burglary, larceny, rape, robbery, murder and motor vehi cle thievery burglary and larceny are highest in reported cases 709 r and 826 irt 1980 and (981 j respectively. In the first two months of 1982, there were 125 reported cases of larceny and 110 burglaries reported, ac cording to the records division of the sheriffs department. In larger Wake Coun-' ty, by comparison, reported cases of burglary and : larceny totaled 1,633 and 1,630, respectively, in 1981, an official said. EDUCATION AND TRAINING Bowe and Leary also , charged that the depart ment's law enforcement efforts are hampered by uneducated and untrain ed deputies. f j Both challengers pro- i pose to encourage deputies to attend school either r police academies or four-year insititutions r . with criminal justice V pro- v grams, allowing officers to leave work with pay to attend classes'. - ; ' Presently, - deputies who further their educa tion ; beyond the minimum high school , diploma requirement have to fit their schedule around their work, Allen said. Bowe questioned the credibility of the in service training program that Allen instituted. He labeled it inadequate and proposed to ' replace it with officers attending accredited law enforce ment schools. Allen said the in service training program is a continuing education program for deputies who have completed the required 280-hour train ing program of the Justice Department's Training and Standards division in Raleigh. In an effort to attract and retain qualified per sonnel, the challengers propose to seek com petitive salaries for 'deputies. Allen said when he first took office, starting salary for deputies was about $9,400 per year. Now, he said, it's $12,468 per year, and he proposes to seek reasonable in creases. According to the challengers, it takes an unreasonable amount of time for deputies to res pqnd..tp, -citizens' calls, sometimes, two to four i hours. They promise tb speed up response timd i but-haven't decided howl j But Allen sajd it takes an average ol tO to 15! minutes for deputies to respond, but "ouady told me it took twq hours," he conceded. He said he is monitoring the matter. , JAIL OPERATIONS . The challengers call for more personnel, jailers in particular,, to. insure inmates' safety j' and orderly conduct.' When rapes, assaults and other crimes occur, it's an embarrassment for the city.. They propose! stricter supervision of jailers and holding the' jailers more responsible when things go wrbng. Funds have been ap-( propriated for a closed; circuit camera to be in stalled in the jail area,; Allen said. He said per sonnel will monitor each jail cell-on a screen in the Sheriffs office. This, he said, will hopefully enable jailers to respond quickly to potential disorderly acts. Currently, a staff of 25 jailers, five matrons, three cooks and one full time physician operate the jail. It can house 164 , persons. ; The average number of inmates hous ed is J55, Allen said. syndrome. Most of all, keep physicial exertion to a minimum the first day. Over-exertion before your body can adapt to the lower ox ygen and dryness result in more severe and per , sistant symptoms. .If you are over 35 and plan strenuous exercise while in high altitude, it would be best to first check with your doctor. If you have a history of heart, circulatory or lung disease, it's mandatory to CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR before coming to high altitude. Respiratory infection or pneumonia should be completely resolved before coming to high altitude since they can be dramatically worsened by the extra strain placed on your body. Pregnant women should seek the advice of their physicians before exerting; themselves at high . altitude. Children and young people participating in" the activities of the Shrine Convention are being requested to sub mit a Shrine Physical Ex amination form signed by their family physician1 and theif parent Of guar-; dian. This form is to be submitted to the leader ship of the various youth organizations and even tually; reviewed by the medical staff at the Shrine Convention. G.
