"If your hair or clothing should catch on fire. STOP. DROP AND ROLL!" says Snuffy. "Running only fans the fire, so STOP where you are, DROP to the ground, and ROLL, back and forth, back and forth until the fire is smothered." And. Snuffy adds, "that is only one of the many fire safety, life saving techniques' that is lust as much fun to learn as it is important to know." This month. Snuffy and Chief Barracato are making a national press and tele vision tour. Burger King hopes young children will adopt Snuffy as a symbol o( tire safety, and it hopes to channel the enthusiasm Snuffy creates into a con ' tinning educational effort. Burger King also hopes that the children's enthusiasm will carry over into theii homes and among their fam ilies. increasing the aware ness of the problem of fire and the methods by which tragedies can be prevented. Post Staff Writer The Black press and the numerous underground news papers should be included as part of tht* daily diet for those people concerned about learn ing the truth, according to noted author, lecturer and founder of the Feminist Party. Flo Kennedy Ms. Kennedy, best known for her firery touch and her down home commentary, also feels that a people concerned with the overthrow of the common enemies, oppression, discrimination, and segrega tion, should take into conside ration that much of what they read through the mass media is under the censorship of those who do the oppressing. “We must first identify the enemy, and then understand where he is coming from, and how he controls our thoughts, " Ms Kennedy said "We, in a sense, have to relate to the enemy more, then build upon the relationship that has been forced upon us " Relating America's current situation to that of the Nazi Miuauun oi mtr ju b ana -w s, Ms Kennedy said. “People criticize the things that are wrong with America without understanding that many of us are part of the problem We outnumber the bad people yet we continue to let them do wrong. We have to relate ourseives 10 me :\azi move ment in Germany where good people 'let it happen ' Calling the mass media re sponsible for many of the incidents in America, includ ing the attitudes of the people who suffer, she continued. "Quota, for instance, has been made a dirty word in tne news. But we must understand that the United States is based on quotas. The establishment, which owns most of the large newspapers, limits certain things which are rightfully ours and justifies it by saying Democrats Probe Affirmative Action Plans Affirmative Action proved to be a major concern of Democrats during a recent meeting of the Commission on Presidential Nomination and Party Structure (Winograd i, according to Ben Brown, De puty Chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee The Commission convened in Detroit on September 10th and llth to review proposed alternative solutions to the Presidential nomination and delegate selection process for the 1980 National Convention The draft report will undergo review by state parties and interested Democrats at state hearings which will be held during the months of October and November. The Commission members unanimously agreed to in clude in the report a provision with respect to women and minorities, who in the past have been systematically ex cluded from full participation. Under this provision, minori ties and women would be entitled to "remedial action to overcome the effects of past discrimination." Tied to this recommenda tion is a provision that youth, persons over 65. blue collar workers, persons with a high school education or less, and other groups significantly un der represented in party af fairs be included in party outreach plans involving re cruitment, education anc training. Minorities and wo men. according to the drafl report, would also be entitled to participation in the out reach effort. Also included was a recom mendation that the Nationa Party lend aid to state parties in funding the implementatior of the AA plans, and develop an AA program and body t< monitor its implementation State party hearings will b< conducted across the countrj during the upxoming months to review the Commission's propiosals. Interested persons are invited to attend. it is associated with a quota But they don't say that we have a House of Representa tives and Senate based on a quota system, as well as our schools based on a quota system." Expanding to the area of her greatest expertise, the femi nist movement. Ms Kennedy explained that men and wo men should not be confused by the various slogans on radio and television - such as male chauvinist. "The average man is not a chauvinist, simply because he I is not powerful enough to be one The president can be a chauvinist, or the governor of a state, but the small power less man cannot be one be cause he cannot set policies." said Ms. Kennedy, adding, "at best he can only be a chauvi nist sausage." Returning to the faults of the media she said. "We must begin to put more faith in our local black media. We have to understand who the enemy is. and not be fooled by what they are trying to program us into believeing." ^ -- — . —. £«ch of these advertised items i* re-'^N / M|l>ijHillM3IB quired to be readily available for sale \ \ H|7?T|TT|Tlt2tS at or b,low the advertised price in ••ch ACrP Store, except as specifi- / cally noted In this ad / rn,vtJ trrcwnwc i nnu 9AI., UV» I. 13 AT A4r IN ^flAKlAJTTE WASHINGTON STATE EXTRA FANCY RED OR GOLDEN PPLES So^yIOO LOCALLY GROWN TENDER GREAT WITH SALADS GREEN vor RED RIPE Mn, CABBAGE lO* TOMATOES^ 49* FIRM.
