N. C. Executive Tells Medics
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - A prediction that business will continue to volun

made Monday by one business executive speaking at the annual meeting
of the National Medical Association.
Marshall B. Bass, corporate
manager of personnel develop
ment for R. J. Reynolds Indus

Bass said that he felt that
industry will continue to play

and added, “we in industry can
not lie Insensitive to changing

Companies are being judged
not only on profit performance,
but on their ability and willing
ness to serve the public in
terest, Bass said.
In his address, Bass pointed
out that Reynolds, a $2 billion
diversified corporation head
quartered in Winston - Salem,

force of about 25 percent, while
the national average for major
corporations is about 15 per

QUESTION: A cross section of students and

Systems were asked “Are you willing to do

Miss Ellen Williams, Cad
dell St., Wake Forest
“Yes, I am willing to go all
the way to help insure peace in
our school this year. I have
been faced with numerous ra
cial problems over the years
and now I am completely a
ware that our problems must
be solved peacefully. I will help
in any way I can to bring peace
with blacks and whites togeth

Tony Bethea, Washington

Although I am willing to do
everything possible to insure
peace in the schools next year,
I don’t believe that there is

have peace in the schools, with

Report Says 'Blacks
Get Fat, Die Faster’
Everybody knows there is
starvation, malnutrition and
hunger in India, Pakistan,
Mississippi, Alabama and
many other underdeveloped
areas as the world, but the
' churning stomachs of jovial
fat black people in and around
North Carolina is a certain
sign of inadequate body at
tention and poor eating.
The North Carolina State
Board of Health recently re
leased a nutrition survey
which showed eastern and
Piedmont North Carolina res
idents (the habitat of most of
the state’s blacks) at the bot
tom of the “healthy eating
scale."
Not only are blacks concen
trated in this area of the
state not to mention the na
tional average.
But getting back to the
problem, black people who sit
down to the table to feast on
barbecue, potato salad, cole
slaw, ■ rench fries and pern
bread are simply digging their
graves with their teeth.
'Many people were under
the impression that Southern
ers were great eaters of vege
tables and fruits,” said Miss
Eliza'csth Jukes, chief nutri
tionist at the state health de
partment.
Mrs. Jukes, a native of Bos
ton, Mass., did emphasize that
many of the lowest income
residents of North Carolina,
black and white did as well
in providing optimum diets
(met North Carolina nutrition
survey standards for 5 nutri
ents) even though they were
economically at a disadvan
tage.
This brings us to the prin
cipal cause a! inadeuate nu
