Brimmer, to the opposite conclusion. "This, c represents progress, but very meager progress," he said <! last week in a USA Today article. White self-employed workers numbered 5,034,000 in r 1972 compared with 6,788,000 in 1982. In the same i 10-year period, the number of non-white self-employed i workers rose from 332,000 to 474,000.

Home fire extinguisi By THOMAS FLYNN Syndicated Columnist j v When fire strikes, being in the right place at the right * time with the right tool can avert tragedy. That tool is the fire extinguisher, an important accessory for every home, ? car and boat. Here's how to buy, store and use today's lightweight, inexpensive fire extinguishers: Most home' extinguishers sold today contain a^dry chemical powder propelled by pressurized gas. Ex- j tinguishers are sized by the weight of the powder they ^ contain: a 10-pounder has ample powder for most needs ana is easy tor use even by children or the elderly, and ( hence is the best choice for the home. Five-pounders fit handily in today's small cars. ~ When buying an extinguisher, look on the label for the ^ letters "A-B-C" surrounded by, respectively, a triangle, a square and a circle. These letters refer to the types of fires and extinguisher will put out: Class A (wood, paper, ir fabric, etc.), Class B (flammable liquids, gasoline, cooking grease, etc.) and Class C (electrical). The A-B-C fire T extinguisher will put out all of these types of fires and is . your best choice. Many lower-priced home extinguishers arc not rated A-B-C (a great number of B-C extinguishers ^ are still sold for automobiles and boats), so read the label 1 with care. - I I I Someone You I I I I Should Meet ..J m * <fs* '* H fl f ^ V"it Jf^C:4^v V* * iv#VStj^JfrjfcSre J Name: Billy & Glenn I H Job Title: Sales clerk K Hometown: Winston-Salemf^'i.- I Describe yourself in one word: "Uni g| Hobbies: Outdoor sports including I I fishing, hunting, football and volunteer work with the rescue squad I Favorite Book: ?
