(UPI). 90 Years After idisw’s Invention Homemakers Averaging IS Appiiame $ One hundred years ago this month, residents of the Caro linas and Thomas Edison had one thing in common—neither knew what a light bulb was. Just 10 years later, In Octo ber, 1879, Edison has the ad vantage. He had develped the first incandescent bulb. It was the first of a series of Inven tions and developments in the jp.ate 1800’s which laid the foundation for today’s electrical conveniences. For example, the first prac tical alternating current motor was developed; Heinrich Hertz discovered ele ctr lc waves, which advanced the development of radio; Edison invented the phonograph and telephone transmitter; the first power system was initiated. At first many feared this "unseen power." Yet. Just two years after Edison’s invention, electricity blinked on first in North Carolina at Salem, and in South Carolina at Charleston in 1884. By the early 1900’s, the home maker was beginning to see the advantages of electricity. Irons became an accepted conveni ence. On the farms, in factor ies, electricity reduced human drudgery and vastly increased output.

From an electric razor, to toasters, manicurers, hair dryers or color televisions," electricity is the nerve sys tem to today’s life and the future promises even more. Electricity experts predict that 20 years from now some housewives will use their com puters to choose the most nu tritious and delicious menus for the week, and prepare the shopping list. Other appliances will do the housework, clothes will be cleaned by a sonic device, and a moisture detector system will automatically turn on under ground sprinklers when the yard needs watering In fact, Thomas Edison’s con cept of electricity’s mission has remained the goal of power pro ducers. He said, "So long as there remains a single task being done by men or women which electricity could do as well, development will be in complete.” P, Shultz has announced. Under the new contracts the City of New York will receive about $1 million to provide man power services for more than 2,800 hard-core disadvantaged men, women, and youths, The two CEP’s located in east arid central Karlem will receive $522,951 and $511,214 respectively to provide man power service for at least 1,4- 00 persons each. The CEP sponsor for both programs is the City of New York, Manpower and Career Development Agency. The formal contract was signed by the Regional Manpow er Administrator, J. Terreli Whltsitt, and Cyril D. Tyson, Commissioner of New York City’s Manpower and Career Development Agency. The Concentrated Employ ment Program was announced in March 1967 by the U. S.

Soys "Now Generation In Will® America Identifies With Move NEW YORK-Does the “now generation” in white America identify with the black revolution? Reactions from blacks to the current Columbia Pic tures film release “Easy Rider” suggest it does. Results from a recent Harris Survey say there definitely is an alliance growing up between young white people and the blacks in America. "Easy Rider” starring Pe ter Fonda and Dennis Hopper and featuring Jack Nicholson, is all about young whites. . . young hippies, to be exact, who don’t see eye to eye with “the establishment’s” way of life or pursuit of truth. The Harris Survey noted that both blacks and young whites are in support of basic change in the way America is run. Both are in the minorities to day, and both are willing-totake it for what they believe in.

GLORIA RIGGS BEK Dear Mrs. Rlggsbee: In your column last week, you were talking about vene real diseases and you said that the most important thing we should all know about V. D. is what it looks iike so m will go to a doctor for help. I've been married for 11 years and I think I know pretty much a bout sex, but I don’t know any thing about V. D. Maybe your other reader need to know more about this too, so please put my letter in your column, Mrs. R. S. Dear Mrs. R. S.: Although there are actually five kinds of venereal disease, there are only two kinds we all need to know about--Syphilis and Gonorrhea. The other kinds are very rare, The first sign of Syphilis is a single sore on the private parts of the man or woman who has this disease. The sore is not painful and for this reason, many people (especially women) do not even notice it. This sore will go away in a couple of weeks and may be followed by any number of symptoms--fe ver, sore throat, severe head aches, a rash or white patches In the mouth. As you see, these symptoms do not seem very unusual—we have all had illnesses which' cause of these symptoms. A person with Syphilis may have all of these symptoms at once, may have Just one of them, or none of them. There is no gen eral rule. These symptoms will last for a month or so arid then disap pear iike the sore does, This Is very Important, These symp toms are a warningtogettreat ment. They will disappear by themselves whether you go to the doctor or not. But the fact that they disappear does not mean that the person is cured. It just means that the disease Social Security News As America leaves the ‘soaring sixties’, many of her citizens will move into the settled seventies,” said Rob ert A.

Flynn said that as more A mericans retire, the concept of Social Security becomes more important to them, for it ear. provide them with a valuable replacement of the income lost through retirement. And one very important fact to bear in mind,” added Mr. Flynn, 4 is that a person need not retire completely to qualify for benefits at age 62 or old er.” He pointed out that current law permits a beneficiary to ■^TiiiwrfiWfrniTtTri'rT'irniTiTi'aiit ————mm i m country, "took it” for what they believed in and drew a host of soul-searching comments from blacks who attended private screenings in major cities a round the country. "It sure tells it like it is,” said a 22-year-old Chicagoan, pointing up” the "hyprocrisy that exists lr, the so-called Ameri can dream.” A 40-year old New Y'ork City businessman says, "Easy Ri der” merely shows that any one, black o. white, who does not ’act, think, dress or look like the establishment will be condemned and destroyed.” Q is going "underground” in the body for many years. During these years, the person feels fine—the only way he can know that he has the disease Is by a blood test for Syphilis. If left untreated, the disease eventual ly attacks the body’s major organs, causing such conditions as blindness, insanity, crip pling, and even death. Syphilis can be cured by a single injec tion at any stage, but doctors cannot repair tne damage al ready caused (like blindness, for example), Gonorrhea begins in the man as a painful, burning sensation during urination, He may also experience a discharge, A man who gets this disease will get medical treatment (again, a sin gle arm injection) because the pain becomes too intense to bear. Gonorrhea is harder to detect in a woman, but it usual ly shows up as an abnormal dis charge and later pain in the pel vic region. A yearly blood test for every one is as important to good health as the yearly pelvic exa mination and cancer test are for a woman. You may obtain a blood test by seeing your doctor or by going to the Wake County Health Department, 3010 New Barn Avenue. ** * _ Dear Mrs. Rlggsbee: Do you still have the book let called "The Right Way to Birth Control?” I would like to show one to my husband.

Black Trucker To File Suit Versus ICC h Penial ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Timothy D. Person, a black trucker, has announced that he will file suit In federal court against the In terstate Commerce Commis sion which rendered a recent decision to deny his applica tion for 50-state authority. "We are going to file suit in the federal court, hopeful ly, to get a fair and impartial decision, uninfluenced by the trucking industry, which is one of the most powerful lobbies In Washington," Person said, Person, who is president of Al'lstates-American Van Lines, Inc., said that most of the ICC commissioners were recom mended to the Commission by the trucking industry who want ed to protect their interests and, for that reason, a fair and impartial hearing from the ICC would be almost impos sible. The ICC denied Person’s re quest for 50-state authority twice on the grounds that there was no need for additional car rier services. The most recent decision was made in Washing ton, D. C«, on October 15. He originally applied to the ICC last May for temporary 50- state authority, but the plea was denied because he failed to show a need for additional services, especially in the black com munity. He filed again for re consideration and backed his second petition with a report on "The Role of the Transporta tion Industry in the Black Com munity," which gave an exten it would be wise for him to contact the social security of fice In advance and get com plete information about retire ment benefits.
