* THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. C,. SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1869 Bible Thought Os The Week 4 "All things are possible to him that be lie veth,” said the Master. When Jesus was doing His work on earth, the records show that while faith was the great factor in those who came begging for help, quite as often it was the confidence of those who brought First Aids For People Who Snore Dr. lan G. Robin, an ear, nose • and throat physician at St. Mary’s - Hospital in London, is without doubt : the leading medical authority on • snoring in the British empire. Last ! summer he read a professional pap ier on snorous breathing before the : : Royal Society of Medicine in London. : He called upon family doctors to do rs more than they have in the past to help married people get rid of snor ’i ing. 5 About one-half or more can be cured, another 30 per cent can be helped, while about 20 per cent ; of snores are incurable at this time, ’c This data was based upon Robin’s \ treatment of 200 of his patients who also snored, as well as his study of the problem for more than 30 i- years. In 1902, Dr. Jul Veis of Frankfurt, ;• Germany, estimated that at least one sleeper out every 5 or 6 per < sons snores occasionally. Most of • the stertorous breathers don’t be : lieve they are noisy, and so they : are content to “sleep on, sleep, and take their rest.” The following first-aids should ■ prove helpful to individuals who <; snore. They have been gathered from various sources by Marcus H. - Boulware, a snorous breathing re searcher for the last five years, . and some of these folk medica ments ought to work, in spite of the skepticism of intellectual sophis tocates., 1. Getting too fat? Snoring has .been traceable to personal bad ha s The critics who are in the know say that President Nixon is unfair to the female voters of this country. If so, he had better listen to some body. President Nixon may need the wo men’s vote on the surtax and the ABM. Women and housewi\ r es al ready fed up with the rapidly rising cost of living, disgusted with the surtax, and don’t care about the ABM. All three economic phenomena are taking bread out of children’s mouths, simply be cause the work er’s dollar is buying less and less There has been considerable in terest by the trucking industry to place on interstate expressways one trailer truck pulling one and more additional trailer cars. This stag gers the imagination, for how could compact cars ever pass them on the road? We oppose train-trailers for these reasons; 1. They would increase the haz ards of wrecks. And if, for instance, a small compact was involved with one of these jobs it would be mash ed flatter than a tin can. Florida Regents Okay FSU-FAMU Exchange The Florida Board of Regents for the state universities recently placed its stamp of approval on the proposed “cooperative arrange ment s’ ’ between Florida State and •Florida A&M Universities --both located in Tallahassee. It should be noted for those who are unaware of this, that Florida State University (17,000 plus) and Florida A&M University (4,oooplus) are located in the same city with their periphery just about five or six blocks apart, Prior to inte gration, FSU enrolled only whites, while FAMU enrolled only Negroes. There has been considerable speculations about the two institu tions merging, and maybe the new plan may be a step in this Editorial Viewpoint Discrimination To The Fair Sex Train-Truck Road-Hogging the sick, whether they were relatives, friends, or stretcher-bearers, that determined the decision of Jesus with regards to healing. We, too, must let our faith be a light-house upon a high hill. bits as excessive drinking and smok ing and overeating. Avoid all of these just before going to bed, and don’t be afraid to push yourself from the table. 2. One man stopped snoring after seeing the dentist who refitted his false teeth. Another bald-headed man did not snore after he pur chased a toupee for his head, while a teen-ager with a mini-lower jaw stopped snoring after an orthodon tist realigned his mandible. 3. There is a Japanese legend, which says sleep with a wooden block 4 to 6 inches high with the head tilted back, and you will not snore. At least, this is the way the story is told. It is up to you now! 4. If your husband or wife snores, it is beneficial for the non-snorer to go to sleep ahead of the snorer. We call this “getting a head start with sleep.” 5. Two sleeping devices-Sleep Mate and Music Pillow-are being distributed on the market for the purpose of letting people goto sleep. Research has shown that with these mechanisms operating in the room and giving off a bland noise, there is also the tendency not to snore. In seeking to control the snoring problem as maker and listener, let there be no surcease in striv ing, no surrender to defeat. Our victory over stertorous breathing is a symbol, even as that of a man stretching his arms in praise that he has overcome. every month. Since the men won’t do much about these intolerable conditions, let the leading women join forces with citi zens to bring more economy in government, reduce the rising cost of living, and apply the brakes on the Vietnam War and the ABM. All of these issues need art im mediate evaluation for the welfare of the poor working people of this nation. And, if our women of high calling decide this plan, it will be done forthright and im mediately! 2. The increased damage to our highways would cost the American taxpayer an additional $520 million annually. 3. When the road trains get off the highway, they just might foul up traffic on our narrow streets. 4. The trailer trsrins would put a considerable per cent of truck drivers out of jobs. In listening to the truck industry plea, Congress should put the wel fare of the family motorists ahead of that of the hauling industry. direction. However, the black citi zens of the state are pledged to stand pat for the independent existence of the predominantly Negro university. The guidelines provide for an in tra-university cooperation in such fields as academic courses, faculty exchange, library facilities and co and -ext ra -curricular activities where feasible. Very soon the two universities will begin on an experimental basis to implement intra-university co operation in the critical academic areas. Time changes things, and we know that one cannot say with absolute certainly that the two universities will remain separate now and hence forth forever more! Only In America BY HARRY GOLDEN THE FIRST WORDS ON THE MOON Roderigo de Triana was In the crow’s nest of the Pinta on the late night watch. It was past midnight when he shouted, "Land! Land!" The sails were shortened and it w'as daybreak on Friday, Octo ber lq, 1492, when brave sail ors first set foot upon a new world, a world more vast and monumental than any man had ever dreamed of before The first men to step onto this new world were the car tographer Lus De Torres and his captain, Christopher Co lumbus. The first words spoken on the world were "San Salvador," for this Co lumbus christened the land he had found. Today everyone on earth stands on the threshhold of a discovery more significant, more dazzling than that of Columbus. This w r eek, men go to the moon. Julian Scheer, an old friend, who Is now the Public Rela tions Officer of NASA, invited me to witness the launching of Apollo 11. I will want to report what these men say as they begin their journey to man’s greatest adventure and discovery. When Columbus left Lisbon, his sailing was attended by the King’s advisers and some fin anciers. No one knew to what he sailed. They knew he sailed toward something, hopefully a route to the Indies. There were many who were quite persuad ed the world was round. They did not imagine this sphere Just For Fun BY MARCUS BOULWARE For The Want Os . . . For the want of an increase in wages and salaries, the food battle is being lost. For the want of mortgages, parnts cannot purchase homes in order to send their children to certain schools which they consider good. For the want of congress ional control in spending, our national debt is hard to bear, more money is being given to foreign countries who don’t seem to be able to stand on their own feet, and who know we may even land a man on the sun. Letter to the Editor THE HOUSE OF REPRE SENTATIVES ATLANTA, GEORGIA TO THE EDITOR: The 1965 Voting Rights Act will expire on August 6, 1970, a little more than a year from now. Since this Act became law, nearly 800,000 Southern Black people have become register ed voters. Nearly 160,000 of these new voters were reg istered by federal registrars under the provisions of the 1965 Act. The number of black elect ed officials in the South has gone from 70 in 1965 to more than 400 today. But there are more than 5 million voting age blacks in the South; only 3 million have registered to vote. Only 62 per cent of the voting age Negroes in the South are reg istered to vote, while nearly BO 17 ; of the voting age whites are registered. (In some Southern counties, more than 100 F of the whites are reg istered.) There are 517 counties cov ered by the Voting Rights Act; federal examiners have been sent to only 58 of these. No federal examiners have been to North Carolina or Virginia; they have been sent to only 3 counties in Georgia and only 2 counties in South Carolina. The rest have been assigned, and .then only on a temporary basis, in Missis sippi, Alabama and Louisiana. Other Editors Sav...

The astronauts are attend ed by thousands of techicians and administrators, Millions more will view them on tele vision. They leave for a speck in the sky which most of us beneve is lunar dust. Who can know what else we will find? As Spaniards put aside their dream of a trade route for the gold of the Incas and the Az tecs, so we put aside the myths and the stories we have told for thousands of years, myths and stories which have made the moon into an eter nal person. We are about to make the moon a neighbor. What shall we say of this? The first man on the moon can say, "The heavens are ours at last," or he can say, looking away from earth, "I an nearer eternity than any man before me." There is no doubt an infinite variety of words and phrases to express awe and pride Perhaps tha* is why NASA doesn’t choose to send writers and poets on these ventures: they would try to say them all at once. Columbus, finding a new world, was moved to piety and not to pride. The new world was holy to him and he called it quite literally after that saint who gives the gift of life. There are moments in his tory when it is hard to find words to match the men. I leave it to these three brave astronauts to tell us what we should hear. For the want of know-how, nations don’t learn how to live together in peace and har mony; rather, they prefer to waste their national resources in making gun powder, jet planes to be blown up, etc. Man, who is he? Is he the one whom the Psalmist said has been crowned with glory and honor, and the Almighty has put all things under his feet? The trouble is: man is now standing in the same place too long. He doesn’t want peace, he likes war. War mak es the rich billionaires. So despite its obvious suc cesses, the present Act needs strengthening and additional and vigorous enforcement throughout this region. Now the Nixon administra tion is attempting to weaken the present bill by substitut ing in its place a national Voting Rights Act. The Nixon proposal will al low Southern states to pass racially restrictive voting laws again. The Nixon bill will require that Spanish A™ mericans once again become the victims of language dis crimination. The Nixon bill will allow Southern states to petition Southern federal judges like Harold Cox in Mississippi, who once from the federal bench called a bunch of Neg'ro voting ap plicants a "bunch of chim panzees”, if they want to re institute "legal” voter dis crimination. Your readers, by letter, telegram and telephone and personal visit if possible must insist to their Representatives and Senators in Washington that' the 19C5 Voting Rights Act be extended for at least 10 more years; that addition al federal examiners be sent into the South, and that Black Southerners be allowed ade quate laws, enforcement and time to complete the Second Reconstruction of the South. Sincerely, Julian Bond Member ,Georgia House of Representatives. is rather late but not too late for remedial action. The conditions complained of in the federal suit, far too long, have been allowed to exist without judicial Inter vention. Because of a con sistent indulgence in evasive tactics to deceive and fru strate Negro buyers, the de fendants, “had shown a pat tern of resist juice to the full enjoyment by the Negroes of the rights granted to them by the Civil Rights Act of 19- 68.” This act authorizes federal action when there is a pat tern of resistance to open housing laws. The suit ask ed the federal court to order the brokers to cease denying any person access to their multiple house listings. It also asked the court to direct the real estate board members to stop discriminating against clients because of their race or color and from lying to them about availability of re sidential houses. Segregated housing was the issue that arrested the atten tion of Dr. Martin Luther King No Deviation. . The Way to ‘‘Rectify* Distrust, Mr. President! Economic Highlights History has shown that once nations embark on a course of monetary inflation, they find themselvfes caught in a web from which there is no escape. However, in the case of the U. S., the maxim that history repeats itself may hopefully be proven wrong. Among a minority of economic crystal gazers who foresee an eventual return to an era of monetary stabili ty and normal growth is that highly respected institution, The National Industrial Conference Board. Mr. Martin R, Galnsbrugh, senior vice president of the Board, recently addressed a meeting of the Edison, Electric Institute on "What Is Ahead For the Economic Climate?” His remarks provide a brief but penetrating appraisal of the future that is both, instructive and constructive. Based upon National Industrial Conference Board studies, Mr. Galnsbrugh believes the 1970’s will' see a restructuring of the eco nomy and a prolonged peicd of "disinflation.” He gives five fundamental- conclusions for his outlook, together with the assumptions under lying them. First, there will be an improved output of marginal workers --assuming better and more widespread training of the hard-core; more effective meshing of educational Inputs with job requirements; and development of national measures of job vacanies. Second, there will be intensification of do mestic and international competition. This conclusion is based more on fact than as sumption. The United States is confronted with increasingly intensive competition from abroad. Witness the recent unfavorable trade balance. The overhang of idle capacity Intensi fies domestic competition. Jointly, this will alter the ability to pass on wage increase readily, particularly In areas where such competition is currently "soft”. Third, there will be a redesign of welfare Bahamian identity NASSAU-"We in this country must strive towards a Bahamian identity—integration— and not superiority of one class or one race over another,” declared Sen. Kendal Isaacs in an address to the upper house recently. He warned that "the majority of Bahamians, hav ing been in a second-class situation for so long and having achieved political superiority, might feel they must act in the way the other side acted many, many years ago." BECOMING A DEPENDENT BLANTRYE -Malawi seems to be moving in the direction of becoming a dependency of the white-ruled governments In southern A frica. Recently, President Hastings K, Banda suggested a direct rail link to Rhodesia, which would in turn link with an earlier proposed rail oine to Mozambique. HITS POLICE STATE GRAHAMSTOWN, South Africa-Prof. Guy Butler, poet and head of the English Academy of South Africa last week told a writers 1 ' con ference that while South Africa has some of the best authors, who have produced out stand - and which caused hom to de vote much time in the Chicago area bringing him into sharp conflict with the segregation ists in high places who were bent on preserving the line of residential demarkation on the basis of expediency and higher wisdowm. Dr. King, It will be remem - bered, called off his proposed march into Cicero on condi tion that city authorities and concerned agencies and social and religious organizations World lews Digest BY NEGRO PRESS INTERNATIONAL wou3d enter Into a compact ,>to do away with housing segre gation and dear the way for open occupancy. The commitments to that compact were never honored. In consequence of that failure, Chicago has remained a se gregated city in depth. It needs an injunction to force it into the right social groove. The city as a whole should be brought into the focus of the Department of Justice action, programs. Ever higher social costs have contributed greatly toward cost-push Infla tion. Here it Is assumed on the basis of cur rent studies that more effective welfare me chanisms will be developed, thus reducing the cost of relief. Fourth, there will be greater resort to tax incentives. The present trend indicates that the "private sector” --business-will help ( to an increasing extent to resolve soclo-econ- , omic problems such as better housing for low-income groups, training the hard-core, etc., thus reducing the not cost to society. More widespread recognition of the warrant for sharing the costs involved through tax incentives should accompany this trend. The fifth conclusion that leads Mr. Galns brugh to see an era of disinflation for the 197 G’s is the restoration of a fair balance In collective bargaining. He notes, ". . .should the wage-cost push remain unchecked, statu tory action may well be forthcoming designed to restore a better balance in free collec tive bargaining. The public In general grows steadily more conscious that wage increases entirely out of keeping with gains in national productivity are adverse to the national in terest.” Finally, Mr. Galnsbrugh observes, with re- . . ference to Viet Nam; "With the war’s end and the restructuring of the economy outlined i~ above designed to heighten competitive market forces, the upward surge «... prices should taper off as the Seventies mature. Disinflation rather than persistent inflation or drast'c de flation would thus appear to be the more likely price pattern of the Seventies.” Mr. Gains- , brugh’s down-to-earth appraisal of the future of necessity rests on one overall assump tion--a continuity of common sense in our conduct as citizens and as businessmen and public officials. ing works, "nothing much is known about them because all of the authors are banned or in exile.

According to a report in the weekly newspaper Literary Gazette, , Mao Tse-tung is accused of "seeing himself as an Asian Bonaparte who dreams of con quering neighboring countries almost as far as the Black sea.” JOB BIAS FREEPORT, Rahamas-Charges that many local employers are practicing racial dis crimination in hiring were made in the Senate las? week by Sen. Henry Bowen. He said that employers habitually turn down job applicants on the basis of color and nationality, adding that he had personal dealings with some such employers who had refused him solely on the basis of his color. for Chicago, a deal more than its suburban environs, is guil ty of evasive tactics to keep Negroes out of a number of desirable residential seg- • ments in the metropolitan areas. There is no question but that the City has wilfully and know ingly violated Title vm of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. It should be called into account. -The CHICAGO DAILY DE FENDER.
