Among the honorees were the seven living Black National Guard Generals, three of whom are recently retired. Jhey are: Maj. Gen.

Speakers for the occa sion ;r included the Secretaries of Defense, Army, and Air Force, and the Chiefs of Staff of the Army and Air Force, and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. The' heritage of black American flag officers has been a gradual one, but a proud one. Cur rently, there are 52 black flag officers serving throughout the U.S. Armed Forces. In spite of the Na tional Guard's im pressive black heritage, it was for many years view ed as a "white man's social club" exclusive and racially discriminatory. But the situation has changed drastically in the : past decade and the recruiting of black soldiers airmen; and officers in the Guard progress continuously. According to tt. Gen. LaVern E. Weber, chief of the National Guard Bureau, the National Guard is enhancing its efforts to increase the number of blacks in the National Guard officer corps, through the AR NG Minority Officer Recruiting Effort.. (MORE) and a com parable program in the Air National Guard. "We have achieved significant gains in black officers over recent years and we will continue to insure that the National Guard is an organization of equal opportunity and one which offers outstanding chances for advancement to all young Americans, regardless of racial or ethnic background," he said. retirement, is a veteran black journalist,.

Murrow was director REPAIRING DRIVEWAYS GONE BAD Like roofs, wood siding, and decks, driveways are subject to severe weather extremes which can cause the surface tq crack, pothole, flake and peel. , Weight from cars also contributes to the general deterioration. Driveway surfaces usually can be restored to like-new condition wun not mucn expense, assum ing that the surface is in reasonably good condition.-You can do the work yourself, or you can have a paving contractor handle the job. If you decide. on a contractor, be sure to get several bids, advises the Better Business Bureau. Although most paving contractors are honest and competitive,- there, are still a few "patch-and-run" artists, making house calls. Driveways are at favorite target of fly-by-night contractors. Tjbese fellows usually knock on the door and announce!: "I was just doing a job in the neighborhood and I noticed your driveway needs a coat of sealer. There's enough stuff on the truck to take care of it. I'll give you a good deal; I don't want to haul the material back to the shop tonight." What you will probably get for your money is used 'motor oil. Or whatever the material used, you'll be lucky actually if it washes off during the next , rain and doesn't .harm your lawn and plant-. ings. If you don't know the contractor, call the Better Business Bureau for a reliability report on the company. Before the company starts the job get in writing the following: The material to be used, and if the old driveway must be replaced, the depth of the base. A good base runs from about 4 to 6 inches. The type and thickness Sf the top surface. This runs from about 3 to 4 inches depending on the base and the material used. The exact size of the finished driveway. This , includes street aprons and curbs. The exact starting and completion dates, f Any warranty that is offered. ' ' Do-It-Yourself Repairs Asphalt and concrete driveways that are not in too bad condition are fairly easy to repair yourself with a minimum of equipment. Make sure any areas to be patched are clean and wetted with water so the patch makes a firm bond. All oil, grease, tar, mud and other debris must be removed. - . - ' For concrete, you can buy ready-to-mix cement (concrete mix) that you apply in deep cracks and potholes. For small cracks, you can buy concrete patch In cartridges that fit in a standard caulking gun shell. If you are adding a top "veneer' of concrete to the old surface, use "bonding cement" which is formulated with an epoxy or latex binder. For asphalt, you can apply a driveway sealer with a combination broom and "squeegee" usually available where sealers are sold. Be sure to first repair all large cracks and potholes with an asphalt patching compound. . '''.-- To apply the sealer pour out about a gallon of the sealer on the surface. Distribute it evenly with the bristles of the broom; then level it with the squeegee. A gallon will cover about 60 sq. ft. of surface, depending on ihe condition of the surface. . TO patch, clean the hole SO there are nn crnmhlv edges. Cold chisel the old material back to firm asphalt. Trowel the patch in the hole and tamp it lightly to level it. Leave the patch about Vx inch higher than the surrounding surface. Then cover the patch "with a piece of scrap board or plywood and drjve your car over it .The weight of the car will compress the patch tightly into the hole. ; Whatever materials you use, be sure to read and follow all instructions on the label.
