you include the
discouraged who are no

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

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.
Group members left with

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.

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. .

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.

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
