WASHINGTON -- Unemployment among
blacks rose to 15.3 percent during September, according
to the U.S. Department of Labor.
n i i
mac* unemployment increased by 174,000, a
1.3-percentage-point jump. This returned black
unemployment to the same rate it had been for most
of the year. Black teen-age unemployment rose 4
percentage points to 38.3 percent, the Labor
Department says..

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court will hear
cases concerning some of the nation's most divisive
issues ~ including racial equality -- during its
1985-86 term.

hear a reapportionment case from North Carolina.
The case will provide the court with its first major
test of the strengthened 1982 Voting Rights Act.
At issue is the validity of voting districts in the
state that were drawn for partisan advantage but
adhere to the court's one-person, one-vote requirement.
The Reagan administration says that a lower
court ruling wrongly allows judges to use district
lines to assure "safe seats" for black candidates.

blacks, including a policeman, were killed last
week, and a South African soldier was seriously injured
in racial violence in South Africa.
A crowd of blacks attacked the home of a black
policeman in Soweto, the largest black township in
l' South Africa, and burned it down. The policeman
died inside, police said.
Deaths by burning have become a hallmark of attacks
by blacks on other blacks whom they consider

s up, statistics say
In North Carolina, the unemployment rate dropped
to 4.7 percent from 5.9 percent in September,
the department says.
Across the United States, civilian unemployment
was 7.1 percent. The Labor Department says this is
a sign that the nation'* economy is growing more
slowly than the Reagan administration expected.
Total employment rose 372,000 to a record 107.5
million, while the total number of unemployed people
rose by 147,000 to a little less than 8.3 million,
the department says.. ...
r state voting case *
In another race case, the court will decide if
public employers acting under union contracts can
protect black workers by laying off white workers
with more seniority. In 1984 the court said that
employers may not scrap seniority plans that favor
white men to protect gains made by minorities.
However, that case did not involve union
agreements.
The court will also consider individual states'
death penalty systems. The court will decide if a
state's death penalty rulings are discriminatory if
statistics show that blacks who kill whites are
sentenced to death more frequently than whites who
kill blacks.

Q: My son has been asking me to buy him toys
that I think are dangerous, such as darts, BB guns ,
and the like. Can you tell me if these toys are all i
right for him to play with?
A: Two things need to be considered when choos- j
ing a new toy for a child: the child's .age and his ,
ui maiuruy, says the North Carolina Society
of Ophthalmology Inc. ,
The society says that more than 7,000 toVrelated
injuries to children aged 15 and below have been
reported. Care should be taken when buying any t
toy, even toys you might consider safe. f
Approximately one-third' of children's toy- u
related eye injuries can be attributed to BB guns,. c
darts and toys that shoot projectiles, like pop gi^ns, s
the society says. ' f
However, injuries can be caused by "safe" toys,
such as battery-operated toys and bdilding sets, if
they are used incorrectly. ,
A good rule of thumb is to show the child the cor-' (
rect way to operate'any new toy and to stress the importance
of safety. This way your child can enjoy
the long and safe use of his new toy.

winter weather will be upon us. It seems that every
winter a few people either die of exposure to cold or
7i fires caused by their efforts to keep warm using
remote heaters. I know that being exposed to cold
weather for a long time can kill, but how does it
happen? Your answer will be appreciated.
A: Death caused by exposure to cold is called
lypothermia. Exposure tb cold for enough time to
Irop your body temperature from its normal 98.6

ake normal steps to keep warm are possible targets
or hypothermia. Signs of hypothermia include any
inusual change of appearance or behavior during
old weather, irregular heartbeat, slurred speech,
hallow and slow breathing, sluggishness and conusion.
When hypothermia strikes a person, he needs imnediate
help. The patient should be warmed tinder
i doctor's supervision, preferably in a hospital.
To prevent hypothermia, a person should:
