Union Camp representative, Robert Meredith, made the presentation to Dr. S. Dallas Simmons, President of Saint Paul's at the September 16 Cluster Meeting. In addition Central Telephone of Virginia, (CENTAL),: Charlot tesville," Va., has award ed the College $5UU as a symbol of CENTAL'S support of higher educa tion. Henry L. Biirgon, Manager ; and "Public Relations Director of CENTAL, presented the gift to Dr. Simmons. The United "Nations Morocco Wrecks: African Unity citizens when it engages in military destruction of a neighbor which is determined to be independent. It is1 better that Morocco improve the lot of its people, their literacy and standard of living, rather than waste her meager resources on expensive military hardware the subsequent death of its young soldiers. The OAU must not allow the organization to be torn asunder when Morocco can sit down with the Polisario and recognize their Sahrawi Arab Republic. The Moroccans can come out ahead by purchasing the phosphate from the Republic rather than trying to take it by force even with U.S. guns. . I would hate to see Morocco get in the same boat with Israel which thinks it can win a military victory over the PLO and its Palestinian followers and deny them self-determination. Nor would I want to see King Hassan ape South Africa by thinking they can do away with Namibia, Angola and the foes of apartheid through their god forsaken mentality. Morocco should make amends contact her friends as well as her imagined enemies and help make the new meeting of the OAU proceed even in Tripoli with Mr. Ghaddafi as its rightful Chairman. I would urge Morocco not to wreck the OAU for the future. Being a black American, l am very stunned, yet impressed with Presidentx Ghaddafi 's views on blacks in his "Green Book page 45. He calls it "The Blacks Will Prevail In The World". I quote: "The latest age of slavery is the white race's enslavement of the black race. The black man will not forget this until he has achieved rehabilitation.

Added to that is the in evitability of the social historical cycles including the yellow race's domination of the world when it marched from Asia againsf. the rest of the con tinents. Then came the role of the white race, when ' . and secured from a par ." j ! j - : i i . .-. .., . . t r . . it carried out a wide-ranging colonialist movement covering all the continents of the world. Now comes : the black race's turn to prevail. "The black race is now in a very backward social situation. But backwardness helps to bring about' numerical superiority of the blacks because their low standard of living has protected them from get- ' ting to know the means and ways of birth control , and family planning. Also their backward social traditions are a reason why there is no limit to mar- v riage; leading to their unlimited growth, while the population of other races has decreased because of j birth control, restrictions on marriage and con- tinuous occupation in work, unlike the blacks who 1 are sluggish in a climate which is always hot."

Fisher SS?5tS iic::-s With few exceptions, people across all income levels will continue to be affected by cuts in social programs heretofore paid for at the federal level. Aid To Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) will be one of the programs so affected; however, this program AFDC may be able to help its children through a recent medical development. It is now possible to. identify the father of a child through, HLA blood typing. Once so identified, social services systems could insist that more natural fathers be forced to pay for the support of their children. HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) blood typing is a unique blood test that looks at up to fifty geneta markers of, the child, mother and father. The test can be used to predict with up to 95 of certainty vyhether a person is likely to be the natural parent of a child involved in any support proceedings. Heretofore, the traditional blood grouping red cell test provided one with a fifteen per cent (15) chance of exclusion from fatherhood. The blood grouping test costs up to $40 per person whereasjhe new HLA test costs $105 per person. For the most accurate reading, all three persons involved child, mother, father should be tested. This testing can be arranged through private physicians Utilizing outside laboratories or can be obtained through Social Services, if court ordered. The. implications of HLA testing on social welfare programs will be interesting. All children receiving federal assistance and" mothers with children on welfare programs may soon be required to name the fathers involved. Failure to do so may result in a loss of benefits or potential benefits. Youngteenagers who apply for welfare assistance may be required to name the father prMisected father before federal or state assistance is given prior to delivery of their child. This would allow early identification of suspected fathers before ter mination of a pregnancy and would give these pro- grams some lever for insuring support of these children and the cost of a pregnancy. If the father involved is under 18 and unemployed, he may find his parents involved in the support of thischild. HLA testing also can change the proceedings of child support hearings. Any man now accused of being the father of a child which he believes is not his, no longer has to believe that he has to support a child that he did no conceive. HI. A testing is accep table in many courts as proof of paternity. A man found unlikely to be the father may no longer be made to pay support for a child that he did not con ceive or legally adopt; on the other handa father so proven by HLA testing can be legally made to sup port a child no matter how strongly he (the test pro ven rather) may feel that the child isn't his. With HLA testing, women should no longer believe that they must bear alone the expense of , rearing a child, whether they are married or unmarried. HLA testing can be used to identify fathers who can then be legally made to assist in the support of their child. Fathers so. identified should now be aware that the courts may have no sympathy for those with several children on public assistance or those who arc married to someone else who rrlust provide support for these familes as well. At the same time, a woman who maliciously names a man as the father of her child, when such is not genetically possible based on HLA testing, should also be aware that she may be subject to suits of libel and defamation of character from the injured; party (the father so named). Fathers who have been , made to pay support for children which they believe -"are not theirs may undergo HLA letting with the child and mother. If testing in these situations pro ves the man not to-be the father, it woAild not be surprising to find the courts ruling that support previously paid must be returned p the man involve ed. HLA testing opens the door for a myriad of legal, social and ethical hallenges;which may serve to' promote responsibility in parenting. Cuts in stfcial programs, especially those affecting children, de-.' mand that parents no heretofore identified be iden tified and required to assist in the support of their! children. Compassion dictatesjtot the architects of, those cuts affecting social f irams dealing with .our children understand tfcnot every parent is , able to provide hisher child with support; therefore society must continue with Us provisions , to secure the safety net under them. Ecdnomic reali ty demands that each of us must take or be made to take responsibility for bur own. It seems a proper use of the taxpayers' money to help children iden tify those adults who were responsible for thier creation and by right should be responsible for their ' care. . - 1 ticipaling lending institu tion. ' According to Bob Taylor, manager of residential energy ser- ' vices for Duke Power, the program benefits customers by helping them. conserve electricity and also to qualify for xthe comapnay's lowest A residential rate the RC rate. , Both Duke Power and all its customers gain from the program's load management" benefits, Taylor said, because reduced demand for elec 1 tricity brought about by better insulation and weatherization will lessen ; the comapny's need to build new and expensive generating plants. "Duke Power's entire load management effort is aimed at reducing and redistributing the de mand for electricity," Taylor said. "Our load management goal is to reduce electrical demand by 6,352 megawatts by 1996 the equivalent is six additional generating units the size of McGluire Unit 1. The residential loan : assistance program will help us meet that total goal." To participate in the loan assistance program, May Your beautiful family prosper!
