The Chronicle, Thursday, January 26, 1984-Page All Vice President George Bush, second from left, met recently vvith members of The National Con- (crence of Black Mayors to discuss their concerns about the nation’s cities. “Unemployment is still the number one problem,” said Mayor Johnny Ford of Tuskegee and NCBM president. “We are working with the Reagan administration to find ways to elevate this situation, especially with our youths.” Also present at the White House meeting, left to right, were Mayor Marion Barry of Washington, D.C. and NCBM second vice president; Webster Guilory, president of the National Association of Black County Officials; Clarence Mitchell 111, president of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators; and Sam Tucker, director of NCBM Washington office. l^^l^lllll,,,,,,,lllllllllt|||||Mlllllllllllllllllllllll(lllllllllinillllllllllUIIIIIIIHIillllllllintMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIflMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|||||||||||||||HIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllliitiMiHlllll' He’s the ‘singing plumber’ From Page A9 lllllllllllljllllllllllllllllllllllHlllllllinilMllllllilllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllMHIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIMIIIIIIIHIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIinillillMlllllllllllllilllMIIIIIIII brief acquainiance with Marian Anderson, he ha.s .studied with .some of the world’s best musicians. Noted French musician La Forge, John Works and Dr. Clifford Blair were his teachers. Andrews has also performed with one of the night club dreuit’s greatest showmen, Cab Calloway. In the winter of 1958, Andrews toured with Calloway and the Cotton Club Review in Miami, Fla. His connection with the music world today is as 'minister of music at First Baptist Church. “They say minister of music, but I’m not a minister,” Anderson says. ”1 just direct the choirs and head the music department.” Besides being labeled as the “Singing Plumber,” An drews, a former Fisk Jubilee Singer, is also known by a few of his friends as “bow tie.” “Yeah,” he says. “I’m a bit old-fashioned and stayed, and 1 still wear the ties you have to tie. As a matter of fact, 1 don’t even own a straight tie.” It doesn’t seem to bother Andrew's that he didn’t get the fame that he probably would have gotten had he been born in a different time. He had his plumbing business to fall back on, he says. He was aware of all the obstacles of pursuing a music career and says that’s why he. studied plumbing at Tuskegee Institute instead of music. “You and 1 and everybody else have a purpose in here and if you don’t fulfill it, you fail,” Andrews says. “I (lidn 7 make it to the Met, but / enjoy doing what I’m doing. Plumbing, that’s ad I know besides music. ” - Daniel Andrews “Thi'ougli my music, if 1 touch, inspire or motivate somebody, then I’ve accomplished something. “I don’t claim to have it all together,” he says, “but if we could all go back to the doctrine of Booker T. Washington and learn to work with your hands and educate yourself, you can go places instead of focusing on how many people Reynolds and Hanes will hire.” Diabetes is major health problem, across the state and the nation There are a few things people should know about diabetes - from a statistical point of view. In the past 10 years, the prevalence of diabetes has increased 50 per cent. It is estimated that 270,000 North Carolinians have the disease and 108,000 of them do not know they have it 1 --they are undiagnosed. Diabetes is reported 50 percent I more frequently in females than in males. The rate of the ! disease is 20 percent higher in non-whites than in the white population. Obviously, then, if statistics are to be taken as a true indicator - as certainly they should be - diabetes is a ma jor health problem in our state and nation. Dr. Donald Moore, a Coats family physician, pointed out that diabetes is the second most common ailment among his patients (high blood pressure is first). And he makes no bones about the fact that it can cause demage to blood vessels, heart, kidneys, eyes and brain. He said these are generally known as target organs, but diabetes and its complications can affect just about every part of the human body. What causes diabetes? There is a slender, tapered organ about six to eight inches long that lies behind the stomach, called the pancreas. It produces a hormone call ed insulin which is necessary to the use of sugar by the body. Some people inherit a tendency toward diabetes - that is, cells of the pancreas responsible for producing in sulin “give” out as they get older, usually after 40, This is known as adult on-set diabetes. On the other hand, some children are born with the disease or are diagnefsed early in life. Heredity can play a part in this type, too, but the main cause is thought to be some sort of immunity pro- Military From Page A10 ""OlilllllinilMllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiHiii sistence Specialist Cynthia L. Harmon, daughter of Albert L. and Connie R. Harmon of Ogburn Avenue, has Sraduated from Basic Sub- sislence Specialist School.

Sugar is needed by the body to make energy. All parts of the body need it, especially muscles. When sugar, star chy foods or other foods with sugar in them are eaten, the body ingests it and forms a simple sugar called glucose. This glucose goes to the blood stream and eventually to all parts of the body. Physicians are not quite sure what happens in adult on-set diabetes. Moore stated that in sulin seems to be there, but it appears to get into the blood stream slower than normal after sugar or starch is eaten. He did stress, however, that people with diabetic relatives and those who are overweight have a greater chance of getting it. On the other hand, diabetic children may develop the disease in a few weeks. They are almost always totally dependent on insulin. Juvenile diabetes, as a rule, affects people under 30. But by far the majority have the adult type or the non-insulin dependent form. Moore said sometimes medication, including insulin, is needed to get adult diabetes under control, but it can often be phased out when the victim gets his weight down, follows a strict diet and takes regular exercise. Like juvenile diabetes, though, it can never be cured; but it can be controlled so the person can lead a near-normal life. Moore said when diabetes becomes severe a person will most likely experience extreme thirst, increased urina tion, tiredness, weight loss, blurred vision, pain in the legs, itching and a tendency toward skin infections. He said it is important that everybody get to know some facts about diabetes so they can recognize symptoms in themselves and others.
