SBA SETS (CONTDiUKD PROM PAGE 1> The agency approved 21,494 loans totaling sl.l billion to aid small businesses and 57,407 disaster loans totaling $299.9 million, Kleppe said. Loans to 7,776 mine tty businesses to taled $213.8 million. “SBA’s basic mission is to help small businesses grow and’ prosper," Kleppe said. '■This we are doing through a combination of our traditional director loans and increasingly through our program of guaran teeing up to 90 percent the loans banks make to small busines ses. This cooperation and par ticipation by the private sec tor serves to multiply the use of available Federal funds." During FY <O7l, banks and other private lenders made 15,- 723 loans to small businesses and provided $897.3 million of their own funds. Private sector participation in SBA’s re aula business loan program increased 55 per cent in number and 91 percent in dollar amou it. Loans to minority busines ses exceeded FY 1970 by 1,514 loans and $53.4 million, or 24 percent and 33 percent re spectively. Total loans approved - ex cluding disaster - increased 58 percent in dollar value and 42 percent in number. Economic opportunity loans were up 28 percent in dollars and 23 percent in numbers. Loans to displaced busines ses declined 2 per sent in dol lars but increased 14 percent in numliers. Loans to local development companied decreased 9 per cent in dollars but increased 11 percent in numbers. Disaster loans increased 237 percent in numbers and 71 per cent in dollars. During AP' U, May and June, SBA approved o ver*27,ooo disaster loans. ALLIANCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) ed by the National Alliance of Postal and Federal Employ ees on August 11-12 at five major postal centers in Ga., New York City, Chicago, 111,, San Francisco, Calif., and Washington, D. C. The possible appointment of only three black postmasters out of a total of tees has become a matter of great concern as to the racial attitudes of the new pos tal service. Neither has there been any blacks appointed as Regional Postmaster Generals, nor has there been any mention ing of blacks being appointed to top management spots in any of the five new regions, and to our knowledge only one black has been appointed to head any of the new metropolitan area centers. Inquiries into the promotion al policies or the EEO program of the new postal service from Robert 1,. White, National President of the NAPFE has brought a fuzzy response from the postal service. The recently negotiated con tract between the six craft un ions and one independent show ed an almost total lack of concern by the craft unions and the department as to any agree ment on an affirmative EEO (Ss©) DIAL »25-f3l7F*r W«tcl dwy oil kMt Mitict, Hooting Oil «nd Oil lurnor Sorvic*. CAPITAL FUEL OIL 1 ICE & COAL CO. | ftOOW.HoryottSt. \ program, and there was only a scant mentioning of discrim ination In the entire contract. It was the feeling of the Al liance before the contract ne gotiations that the predominant ly lily-white postal leadership craft unions and the "complete lily-white leadership of postal management would give little or no consideration to equal opportunity. The Alliance now has greater reasons to be concerned, know • ing the negative attitudes of the craft unions and top postal man agement will give some lower level supervisors a license to practice bosslsm, bigotry and outright defiance to employ ees whom they might take a per sonal dislikp. Already, the new contract is creating insecurity, confus ion and a climate of hostility. The postmaster 'of one major post office has already received the angry threats of discontent ed, frustrated postal employ ees. The Alliance feels that their scheduled open hearings are needed in order to ea.setheten sion and give employees an op porutnity to air their discon tentments before the lip blows off. In addition to giving postal employees the opportunity to express their views in confi dence at the open Hearings, thousands of questlonnaries will be passed out to employ ees to be answered and returned to the Alliance National Office. All returned questionnaires and testimony from the open hearings will be compiled and presented to Congress. US SHRINERS (CONTINUED FROM FACE 1) TB&C Board with the exam ination, and the American Diabetes Association has ar ranged to have an "Auto-An alyser” which will give results of the presence of any sugar in the blood immediately. He said that arrangements have been made through the University of Texas Medical School. Resident medical students and interns would be used in assisting to make the tests. The services will be con ducted throughout the conven tion, at which time announce ment of time and places will be released. THEY SAY (CONTINUED F-ROM FA OK 1) dents, adrninistraton and par ents’ minds toward as an ed ucational instituion. Miss Marjorie Gill, Rt. 3, Wake Forest Well, first of all I want to say that I cannot go all of the way to insure peace in the public schools. Sometimes 1 wonder if it's really worth all of the trouble we go through to get an education. Often more thines are accomplished by dis ruptive tactics than by peace ful tactics. I will go as far toward peace next as my con scious will let me. For we must have justice. BUSINESS (CONTINUED FROM FACE help establish the Winston-Sa lem urban coalition, a program to eliminate inadequate hous ing and initiate related pro grams for the poor. Bass said Reynolds made substantial contributions to predominatly black instituions of higher leaning. He cited a half million dollar contribution to Winston-Salem State Uni versity and a quarter million dollar grant to the United Ne gro College Fund. However, the Reynolds spokesman was quick to point out that business does have an obligation to be selective in its corporate citizenship role and to avoid over committing its resources. “If it doesn’t/’ he said, “the stockholders will voice their concern as they should. A cor poration teetering on the edge of bankruptcy is a poor tax payer and offers few job op portunities.... even if it is head ed In' the nation’s most active do-gooder.’’ Bass said that another citi cal problem in today’s evol ving social scene is health care. He said that R. J. Reynolds To bacco Co. and other tobacco' manufacturers are jointly sup porting extensive research into tne smoking and health question. Bass said that U. S. tobacco companies have supported a scientific study of tobacco and health through education and research foundations on a no strings - attached basis since 1954. “To date,” Bass said, •‘the tobacco industry has fund ed more scientific research in to the problems than any other source, govenmontal or pri vate.'* “Tobacco and health re search will continue to bo sup ported by the cigarette manu factureres,” until a conclusive scientific understanding of the acutal facts of the issue are known. “l*>r despite all of the research that has t>een done to date,’’ Bass said, “no def initive link Ixttween tobacco and health has been found.” BATEY (CONTINUED FROM FAG* II The ESAP program is de signed to help school districts which are still developing de segregation plans acquire funds for whatever program of in tergration they must im plement. There will be only three members on the board. Batey v ill leave Raleigh for Atlanta Aug. 16, where he will undergo training. He is the former principa of the Jefferys Grove Sqjiool in Wake County and lives at 2525 Western Blvd. here. METHODISTS (CONTINUED FROM FA«S D ministers and laymen, were ur ged to write individually to the commissioners. The resolution expressed concern “that black Americans own less than one percent of the thousands of radio stations and absolutely none of the more than 800 tele vision stations in the United States. “Cable offers us the possi bility of changing this imbal ance/’ the resolution stated. “And unless we realize this po tential in cable, cable will be useless to minority people; and, therefore will not develop in the great cities of our nation.” MAYOR LEE. (CONTINUED FROM FACE 1) ond term as mayor of Chapel Hill and has been among the political elite in the country since he became the first head c r. a prdominately white southern town —even though Chapel Hill is generally con sidered to be a freak liberal town in the middle of the Sculh. Lee has appeared in Ebony, Jet and several prominent na tional newspapers and maga zines. When he first became mayor, he made a few criti cisms while out of town con cerning the administration of Governor Rober, Scott, which he quickly recinded when the political backlash threatened his budding career. If Lee decides to run and wins, he will become the first black man since Reconstruc tion tc hold a major statewide governmental office in this state. It is reported that Lee has the support of state AF’L-CIO preseident Wilbur Hobby. BLACK UNITY (CONTINUES FROM FAG* 1) part-time hiring of a team of college and high school students who have canvassed dilligently with minor results so far - the public is being adequately in formed and urged to a.'ail thorn s' Ives of the privilege and duty of voting to offset many of the inequities suffered by any non voting people. Mrs. Samuel Gray (wife of the Human Relations Com mission chairman) has worked with United Presbyterian min ister Morris in promoting the project. Although Morris is on vacation the team, with Mrs. Lucile Powell, Mrs. Mariaij McClain and Mrs. Hattie Hin ton Jordan, to name a few; have sot up booths (with the aid of Sam Gray, C. Wiggins, Rev. Elbert Lee Jr. and S. Watson) where they are encouraging the 18 to 20-year-olds, as well as the older adults, to register and not fail to vote in EVERY e lection in order to not lose their right of franchise through neg lect. Because, over a short period of not voting one’s name is removed from the rolls. Then it becomes more difficult to get a black back on. The' leaders said from their booths Saturday (will again next Saturday): “Register so You Can Vote!!!” The Edgecombe side of Rocky Mount is re gistering Monday through Fri day of each week, 9 to 5 p.m. 18 year-olds on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The same prevails for Nash Couitty, except that 18-20 ages register Mondays and Fridays only. Edgecombe County residen’s have Mondays through Fridays 8:30 to 5:39. Youths on Mon days and Fridays only. Local sentiment seems divided over whether RoscoeA. Batts, until recently principal of Joseph W. Parker Jr. High School, now assigned as as sociate principal of Rocky Mount Senior High School has gotten a promotion. However, those close to the scene vow that a few grants increase in salary should sound like an ad vance for Mr. Batts. Incidently, the Parker faculty and a few close friends got together and honored Batts with tributes and a silver tray of appreciation. Rocky Mount’s Wesleyan College instructor Dr. Sim O. Wilde Jr., did a soul-searching article In July 25 Sunday News and Observer on the “High Court’s Busing Decision...” in which he declared the U.S. Su preme Court could hardly have afforded to have ruled other than what it did regarding the busing of schoolchildren. More and more thoughtful writers are backing the pro-integration point of view as a vehicle to all-American living for all. wards and staff of Duitiatn- Chapel Hill, lias permitted the ON SCHOOLS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE |) n public hearing on the alter nate plan. Danielson refused to say whether the crowd ot abou’ 4,000 would be given a chance to be heard on the alternative plan. The board's alternative plan is expected to include: mini mum bassing; minimum cost;' educationally sound organiza tion pa'terns: minimum comp’iance with local, state change; chi dren’s safety; and State and federal laws. Many area residents voiced support for the HEW plan but were often disrupted by the boos of the crow’d. On several occasions Danielson had to ea rn the crowd because o c the rudeness they showed the pro- HEW speakers. Support for the HEW plan came from the Rev. Leon White, executive director of the North Carolina, Virginia Comimit’ee for Racial Justice, who said, "the struggle is not about bussing, but about who is going to be bussed.” The only alternative plan was preserved by Leary Davis. Davis’ plan ca'led for sending children to the nearest school which would have space for the students of that race wi’hin racial ratio. It’s any body’s guess what the board will ccme up with, but most observers think it will be something closely related to the HEW plan. NC HEALTH ((CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) more than 40 per cent of the nonwhite househo'ds in east ern and Piedmont- regions have substandard’ facilities;. Rural households in all three areas a." the state were more often without standard facili ties than were urban house holds. In education, seventy per cent of the nonwhite home makers, compared with thirty eight percent of whites, had completed fewer than 11 years of schooling. The survey also found 47 per cent of black households, com pared with 23 percent of whites, had diets which were rated in adquate. Dr. Frederick J. Stare, chairman of the nutrition de partment of the Harvard School of Public Health sayd, “Variety both among and within the four basic groups of food (breads and cereal, dairy products, meats, fruits and vegetables) is the most important single principle in assuring a prop er diet.” The six most vital sources of Vitamin C include broccoli, brussel sprouts, peppers, can talope, organges and orange juices - items which often fail to make the big spread in a soul dining r00m... if they do, the broccoli and brussel sprouts are covered with rich sauces while the peppers are a part of some other fattening sub stances. Un’il black people begin to be more selective of the types and quantity of foods they eat, belts will continue to be widened, gir dles will become more pres sure packed and cardiac arrest will be more commonplace. The jovial man who sits down on a stool in his favorite res taurant and feasts upon a plate of calories will certainly en joy the taste, but his heart and soul will simutaneously be straining and asking the rest of his body “Who’s gonna take the weight?” The North Carolina Nutrition Survey explores many aspects of diet among people and next week The CAROLINIAN will take a look at the more pro found inadequacies fouid in pre-school children and the facts of stunted growth. MURDERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) believed to nave used a mop handle to push back the trig ger on the gun when he shot himself.” Cofield was married to the former Miss Teresa Co’- vin, Mrs. Colvin’s youngest daughter. Wake County Deputy Sheriff Connie Holmes said Mon day that the Sheriff’s Depart ment “is satisfied beyond a rea sonable doubt” that Cofield shot his mother-in law Friday, then took his own life Satur day morning. Witnesses heard the shot, ac cording to the deputy, then saw Mrs. Colvin run into the yard Two NC Women In Top Church Posts The CAROLINIAN received word Monday that two women from the state, Mrs. Maggie Beard, Rockingham and Mrs, Josephine Morris, were elect ed to positions at the 17th quad rennial meeting of the Woman’s Home and Foreign Missionary- Society, AME Zion Church, held in Buffalo, N. V., August 1-G. Mrs. Beard is the wife of Rev. G. W. Beard, pastor ofithe Mt. Pisgah AME Zion Chuch, Rockingham. She has been quite active in the missionary cir cles of the denomination, on lo cal and state levels. She was elected secretary of Young Wo men, a post held for the past . '• :■? MRS. JOSEPHINE MORRIS SIGNS TREATY-New Delhi: Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko (left, with pen) and India’s External Affairs Minister Swaran Singh (R) sign a 20 year “treaty of peace and friendship” here. August 9. The treaty pledges the two countries to consult if either is attached by a third nation. It also provides that no aid will be given to any country A which attacks the signatories, and that neither signatory will allow its territory to be used for aggression against the other. (UPI) Conyers Calls Administration And Agnew Demagogic Leaders In remarks prepared for the floor of the House of Repre sentatives, Congressman John Conyers lashed out at the re cent statements made by Vice- President Spiro Agnew con cerning the attitudes of black leaders in America. Conyers said “To be chari table, the best one can say of our VP and the Administra tion which he so accurately personifies is that the man con tinues to be arrogantly insen sitive to the fundamentals that ought to govern a democracy and to the pressing needs and aspirations of the American people. “The great majority of A merican citizens acutely rec ognizes that irrelevant criti cism can never take the place of constructive leadership that should come from the W'hite House,” he said. Conyers went on to call Ag and fall to the ground. She was pronounced dead at Wake Memorial Hospital in Raleigh some two hours later. It Is believed that she was brought back to her bedroom while an ambulance was being sum moned, thus accounting for the mingling of her Wood with that of Cofield at the foot of her bed. Cofield was last seen leaving the house, following the shoot ing, and heading’ toward some woods. Coroner Bennett said it is believed that the suspect later came back into the house and hid all night in the attic un til he is reported to have come down the next morning and ended his own life in the Col vin bedroom. His body was found when some member of the family went to the house to got some clothes, around 10 a.m, and found the body in the same room where the Friday shooting occurred. Cofield was said to have been a soldier, stationed in Texas. Funeral services for 'Mrs. Colvin wore conducted Wednes day at 3 p.m. at the First Baptist Church here with the Revs. J.E Perkins, pastor, and W.T. Bigelow, former pcstor, officiating. Burial took place in Justica Memorial Park. eight years by Mrs. Lonia M. Gill, Whistler, Ala. She is also a member of the Rock ingham School Svstem. Mrs. Morris was elected secretary of supplies, which was held by Mrs. Laura Small, of Washington, D. C., she is the wife of Dr. A. P. Morris, sec retary-treasurer, Department of Home Missions, Pensions and Relief. He is a veteran pastor and served many out standing churches, which gave Mrs. Morris an opportunity to enjoy a full experience in the missionary field. MRS. MAGGIE BEARD ' new a “demagogue searching for a scapegoat” and labeled the former Maryland governor, who has a conservative-back ground. a person “apparently deep grounded in authoritarian leanings and convictions, cou pled with an apparent desire to divide not only whites against blacks, but blacks against blacks.” Conyers concluded his mes sage by saying “the Vice Pres ident’s approach to problem solving represents and is sys- A Pre-Schooler Learns at Howe Playing school with mother is a game every pre-schooler loves. A short lesson or two becomes the part of each day he antici pates with pleasure. His mother knows that by helping her child with speech and language prob lems at home, he will learn easier and faster when he goes to school. Home training requires unend ing patience and kindness aswelj as love and understanding. It s rewarding, however, as the par ent sees slow but constant im provement. If the pre-schooler, for example, has difficulty with eye-hand coordination and color identification, his mother can help with colorful, interesting lessons. Mother, like teacher, must pre pare her lessons in advance. With a pencil and drawing lightly, pre pare a simple picture. It should be an easy one such as a star, a sunburst, a heart, a eat. a bird or a snowman. Now using an El Marko permanent ink marker in one of eight vivid colors, place dots fairly close together. Erase the pencil lines and you’ve a puzzle, ready for the child's first lesson. The child will connect each two dots as he answers each of your questions. At the end of the lesson, when all dots are connected, your ’'pupil'' will have the picture as his reward. Work slowly with the child, making the lessons fun. Smiles and laughs are not only permit ted but encouraged. The ques tions you ask might teach color. Direct the child to use the- red marker to connect the first two dots; green for the second two; perhaps purple for the third set. Our years of serving the bereavedJhfrSjjji.,-./ have taught us what is most :mport-|J^H ments.

The Id Marko is easy for his little hand to manipulate and he can identify the ink color by the color of the marker.
