Hollv Springs, and came upon this bit of good news: Mrs. Gladys Grigsbj and her husband, Mr. George T. Grigs by, Sr., now deceased, had a son, and they named him George T. Grigsby, Jr. George T. Sr., took his training in, “buildLng trades” at Hampton Institute. Upon graduation, he straight-a way went to work at ins "trade." He drew plans, laid brick, pour ed cement, nailed planks to gether until he had accumulated enough "stature” to meet , court and marry Gladys Stinson. She had attended Shaw University, and her "Arts” education to gether with his building know jiov soon made them a pro gressive team, Their posses sions are a home of colonial architecture, a well-stocked grocery store and other real property. When the son came, he was brought up as best a "country boy,” with limited educational facilities at hand, could hope for. George T. Sr., worked hard, too hard, and finally, a fev. years ago, his heart stopped. George T. Jr., had finished high school, '"'college, pre-rned, and was in a School of Medicine when his father died. Gladys Civil Rights Roundup BY NEGRO PRESS INTERNA TIONAL "NOT ENOUGH” BATON ROUGE, La.-The re port of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders did not devote enough attention to psychological needs, said Dr. Jewel L. Prestage, chair man of the political science department, Southern univer sity. Identifying these psycho logical needs as "dignity, self respect, and identity,” Dr. Prestage also said the report did not sufficiently emphasize the relationship between these needs and “any corrective ac tion, political or otherwise,” HORNS LOCKED CHIC AGO-Operation Bread - basket and a local grocer y chain, Red Rooster, have locked horns over charges tnat the chain sells bad meat arid in ferior quality foods, Bread basket, the economic arm of SCLC, joined other community groups in battling the chain, which operates mostly in the Stinson Grigsby took the helm and steered the ship safely to harbor. George T. Jr., is now a credited member of the medical profession, having finished in ternship, two years residency and will soon embark on a European educational and plea sure tour. When it is all over, is he corning home to take the place in rural medicine, made so gapingly vacant by Dr. George C. Debnam’s decision to move to Blount Street in Raleigh? I am afraid not. When Dr. Debnam left "the country” there were thousands of dol lars owed to him. And, "when this boy my girl and boy went to school with” comes home, if he ever does, his book of ac counts payable will start to fill. I haven’t seen the accounts nor have I talked about same to Dr. Debnam. But! know some of my people who, though able, have not "settled” with Dr. Debnam. D: George T. Grigsby, Jr., will "hop to Zurich, Switzer land, thence to France, Belgium and to most principle Euiopean countries and cities. When this jaunt is over in 1970, he will be gin a two-year hitch in the United States Air Force. Then he will begin looking for a place to set up his practice. Yes, you are right. How does a resident, or; the meager salary lie gets, par for all the extra things he needs and for ail the places he must go to round out a medical education? That’s right, Mom. For he was honored her all the days of his life. Black community. Other food chains, which operate through out the city, have more readi ly bowed to Breadbasket de mands for improvement in their hiring, pomotions, and management practices. BOTH VICIOUS WASHINGTON-The vicious ness of both prisoners and pri son officials have been graphi cally described at hearing con ducted by the Senate juvenile delinquency subcommittee. Some witnesses told of pri soners being raped by homo sexual gangs at many of the nation’s prisons. And Thomas O. Murton, a former Arkansas prison head, said his state’s prisons were festering with a buse of prisoners by officials, who beat, threatened, tortured, and sometimes killed them.

ANN EUBANKS Early reports on the 1969 March of Dimes indicate a de finite and substantial increase over previous years and with contributions still coming in, the \\ ake County Chapter is looking forward to an overall record. While no goal is ever set by the Chapter, going for ward with yearly increases, not only monetary but educational wise as well has been the aim. This has been accomplished ana the support of the public is gratefully acknowledged. Special thanks go to the more than 2,000 volunteers who parti cipated in the entire campaign and to the public who made this success possible. The campaign, under the di rection of Harold G. Hall, is nearing completion, contribu tions now total well ovei $22,- 000 and an increase has been reported in every phase of the drive, especially in the Mothers’ March, which is near ing $6,000 in the Raleigh Area alone. Mrs. Darrell Dennis, Mrs. Lamon Spainhour, of the Raleigh Jaycettes, and Mrs. Nelson Harris are to be com m ended for their excellent leadership and organizational ability. Worthy praise goes to Mrs. S, V. Perry, Mrs. F. V. Lat ham , Miss Joyce Davis and Mrs. C. J. Barber and their team of volunteers who contributed much towards putting the 1969 drive over the top. Final re sults will be released to the public soon. The programs of The Na tional Foundation - March of Dimes are rapidly expanding. The 103 birth defects treat ment and evaluation centers are doing much to help those af flicted with birth defects, of fering treatment and care to thousands of victims. The in terested public, coming for ward with generous contribu tions, are offering monetary help to make this possible. A breakthrough in the pre vention of birth defects is for seen in the near future in the German Measle vaccine. Al though most people tend to dis miss this disease as a mild infection, German Measles is extremely dangerous when it strikes pregnant women. It can cause serious defects o*f the heart, eyes, ears and other organs of her unborn baby. At least 30,000 damaged babies were born to pregnant women who contracted German Measles during the epidemic of 1964-1965. The March of Dimes is co operating with the Federal government, other voluntary health organizations and ser vice groups to de-.eiop a vac cination program now to pre vent an epidemic which, medi cal authorities warn, unless preventive steps are taken, will occur possibly as early as ly -70. Within the next few months the Federal government is ex pected to license a safe ef fective vaccine against German Measles. The National Founda tion - March of Dimes which is dedicated to the prevention of birth defects, strongly urges the use of this vaccine as soon as it is available. Primary vaccination target should be all children, boys as well as girls. Children made immune to German Measles, cannot spread it to women of child bearing age. Thus the disease will be virtually wip ed out. Many children have al ready been vaccinated against "regular” measles but this does not protect them against German Measles. They are two different diseases. Both vac cinations are needed.
