i Attorney Named Chairman Of The the CAROLINIAN-SAT.. SEPTEMBER 1. 1973-PAGE 13 ^What's Your Bag?! BY RKV JEROME LEDOUX J. Powell, Republican, Gets Post WATfH MK (;R()\V Jesse (Jwens is quHe a public relations man nowadays, tra veling far and wide to address youth groups, civic groups and sundry community gatherings. Naturally, his strength lies in his track background, but his direct, common-sense delivery would stand on its own merits. Few of (he people who hear him suspect even remotely that Jesse was once so shv that he t could not utter more than a few words in public without trying his tongue in knots. A similar surprise befell me about a half year ago. The disk iockey of a Iwal radio station Aad invited Bill Withers to be his special guest on an evening show His questions to Bill became more and more personal until he asked: -Is it true that you had a severe stutter until you were 27 years of age? " "Yes. that is true." Bill answered "Sometimes I just didn't know what to do. I felt like giving up. But. somehow. I was determined to keep on trying, and finally good things started happening." Everyone grows, but at limes the reality of it is shocking 1 certainly found it mildly jolting to learn at the beginning of the year that Japan Air Lines had instituted a refresher course for all of its pilots. The shock of the situation was not eased by the A fact that the course was born of ^/ear generated by a rash of air tragedies 'hat seemed related only to human error However, that remains a fi^»rtial puzzle, for the opposite usually true it the operator of a machine keeps an open mind for learning Ordinarily, driv ers or pilots improve with experience and age - at least up to a point. That is why we don't hear of astronauts much under 40. Evidently, pilots can drift into spells of mental laziness and blase, sloppy execution. But. whert ver the mind is open and willing, one can perceive a gradual blossoming of skills and know-how in most thing‘; that we do with frequency Years after learn ing to drive, little refinements keep coming into focus. For Instance, the timeing so necessary for passing another car safely in two-way traffic improves over the years. One learns ever belter the intrica cies of switching lanes grace fully and of coping with the sudde.. and sometimes hair- igsmg broken patterns of city With a twinge of pride, one slowly masters doing a curve on the highway without break ing stride, with fingertip Tfjntrol. and often without letting the passengers feel that a change of direction Is taking place. There are many other minute subtleties of using one's gears for brakes, of driving defensively and of conserving gas as well as one’s own energy Every activity, especially every sport, reveals a similar progression. Young pitchers start out w ith strong arms and a wealth of raw talents, but their performance is seldom outstanding By the time thev have learned all the secrets of their fingers, (heir muscles and their coordination, the smoke is gone from their fastball and the sudden plunge from their curve Balters, quarterbacks, field- • ers and all other highly skilled performers in sports, music BY LOUIS E WYCHE .National Black News Service W ASHINGTON - A 42 year- old veteran civil rights attorney has been named chairman of the Equal Em ployment Opportunity Com- A' EEOC By Nixon African Report A mission by President Nixon. John H. Powell, Jr., long active in Republican politics before coming to Washington, will succeed William H. Brown III w ho reportedly is in line for an ambassadorship. Since 1970. Powell has served as general counsel to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and he has been involved in six major commission hear ings. most recently those in New Mexico and Arizona discussing Indian rights. The Howard University and Harvard Law School graduate said he would accept the $40,000 a year post "because I believe in the general thrust of the administration" in the field of equal employment oppor tunity. His nomination requires Senate confirmation. Saying he feels the commis sion has already "gotten off to an excellent start ” under its new authority to enforce its findings of job discrimination by employers. Powell pointed out that EEOC has filed more than 100 lawsuits against employers in the last four months. He said this power would enhance the commission's chances under his chairman ship “to reach settlements without having to press for decrees." An unsuccessful candidate fora post on the Federal Trade Commission last year, Powell was pushed for the new job by Republican Senator Jacob Javits of New York. Powell was formerly counsel to former New York state Assembly speaker Joseph A. Carlino and chairman of the political action committee of the NAACP state branches in New York. i "• -A I .NA.MIBI.y.NS ASK FOR .M.AJOR REFORMS JOH.A.WESBl’RG - Various tribal delegates from Southwest Africa (Namibia) have asked South African Prime Minister John Vorster for major reforms in the political and social conditions for natives, as well as increased impetus in the developnuMit of the homelands. The request.s by delegates for the relaxation of pass laws that restrict the movement of Africans and for moves toward equal pay for equal work came at a meeting of the advisory council for S<iuthwest .Africa. \orsler. who presided over the meeting, established the forum so that representatives of the region’s various groups could discuss their grievances and put suggestions to the South African government. The feeling, at the lime, was that the council meeting would help defuse criticism of the government's apartheid rules. black leaders at their annual congress.

BY PAUL H W'YCHE, JR .National Black News Service Powell agrees with much of the thrust of the Civil Rights Commission in opposing Presi- dent Nixon’s position of school busing. He said he believes that the finding of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in the Detroit busing cases is a correct one. In that case the court ruled that political boundaries should not be a bar if school children are bused a reasonable distance to effect desegregation. The Civil Rights Commission has also taken a strong supportive stand of the court’s action. W ASHI.N'GTON - A sweeping pacl^ge of programs designed to aid the poor is expected to be proposed by President Nixon shortly which would shift federal aid payments from governments and institutions to individuals. "The basic idea is to let people ha. e more choice. ’ said Heali.i, Education and Welfare Secretary Caspar Weinberger, one of the two architects of the plan. The plan, which is being refined now, is expected to go to the President this fall. Nixon is likely to send all or most of the plans to Congress for its approve). 'This plan would parrallel former President Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society" programs for the poor and disadvantaged. Weinberger admitted thgl the primary objective of the program will be to increase the freedom of choice and get more of the money to those who need it, rather than bureaucrats who take most of the money as in many programs in the past As part of the overall plan, Weinberger said he expected food allotments under the food stamp program to be increased substantially in light of skyrocketing grocery costs. Food stamps have been increased substantially over the past four years. In addition, the President is planning to pay about $l billion in scholarships to I'j million needy students next year, and a number of other students would get part of another $1.6 billion in federally guaranteed loans approved by the Con gress The government is also taking a loot at compulsory national health insurance sys tem. One plan is modeled after the Federal Employees Health benefit plan and the other is patterned after the National Health Insurance program the President proposed in 1971 but was rejected by the Congress. Powell, who went to Harvard with the late Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr., defended lunch counter sit-ins In North Carolina in the early 1960s and served as special counsel for King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He is married and has two children. Kittrell Seeking A New Community Rule Col- Dr. KITTRELL - Kittrell ege’s new president, ui. Haywood Strickland, announc ed today that one of the first tasks of his administration would be to develop a ten-year plan of operations. Dr. Strick land emphasized that a careful review would be made of the college's mission, goals and objectives. After the review a new statement of the colleges mission will be made that will take into consideration the needs of the college, its students, faculty, staff, and the community which it serves As part of Kittrell College’s desire to be of greater service to the community, Dr. Strick land is asking the people of the community to contribute to Kittrell’s long range plan of operation. Any imput Aat the community cares to make, that will help Kittrell College play a greater role would be greatlv appreciated. This may be in nature of adult or continuing education higher education, or as an assisting agency to other development plans of the community. Any such ideas, plans, or other help to Kittrell College’s Decade of Progress Plan be sent to the school. The teenager labor force which increased from 5.2 million in 1960 to over 7.6 million in 1970, is expected to reach 8.3 million bv 1980 according to the U.S.' Labor Department, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT ROBINSON" WiUv n i Church and drama tell a like tale. ’’Seventy-five percent of hit- ling is from the shoulders up,” says Ted Williams, perhaps the best exponent of hitting that the game has seen. Marriage is a regular fish bowl for observing such growth • or its absence. And, of course, marriage is but a mini-view of our whole life: how we gradually refine our social skills, our ability to be unselfish and considerate, our tolerance of others, our willingness to leave ourselves vulnerable by reaching out with an open mind dll u|Wll llllliu. Nikki Giovanni ‘ThriUed Become A New Delta ATLA.NTA. Ga. Nikki Giovanni described her indue lion into h«>nordry membershipa iary of Della Sigrna Theta as "one’ 01 the crowning jewels" of her life. Ms. Giovanni, well-known as a poet author and social commentator, was inducted into Delta at the sorority's recent 32nd national conven tion. along with actress Ruby Dee. civil rights activist Unita Blackwell, and journalist Ethel Payne extended their family by one. I think I am the true l^nefic- Speaking at a Delta public meeting. Ms. Giovanni said: "Many good things have been happening to me lately, but 1 can think of nothing which has happ<'ned that has given me more pleasure than becoming a member of Delta Sigma Theta ® ^ ‘ Earlier this year.

In what Delta delegates described as "a super ses sion," Ms. Giovanni and State Rep. Julian Bond "rapped hard" at the same public Dear Mrs. Riggsbee; I iust finished reading a booklet on family planning and understood most of il. but I have one question. In a paragraph headed "Improper use of a method", it says, "The woman may douche too soon after the sex act. even though there is no need to douche at ail." I don’t understand this. I thought the sooner you douched the better, as far as protection against pregnancy is concern ed. And why would there be no reason to douche at all? Thank You. Mrs.C.H. Dear Mrs. H,: First, let me state that it is the accepted opinion of a large majority of physicians that douching is not a necessary part of "feminine hygiene ” at all. In fact, it may deprive the vaginal mucous membranes of their normal secretions and thereby invite irritation Douches should be taken on the advice of a physician only, for specific reasons - such as a vaginal discharge due to infection, elc. Douching afte»‘ inter "ourse has. according l. most medical opinions, no contraceptive value If a wo.-nan wishes to douche after intcr-'ourse for personal reasons, the douche should be postponed at least six hours after intercourse so that no sperm cells might be washed up into the uterus I hope this answers vour questions. —...... „ny Mi jjie female organs) whether or not she has had sex relations. In reply to your second question: Deliberately enter ing into a sexual relationship in order to attempt to improve your health would be a very foolish course of action, in my opinion. The wise thing to do is to see a doctor, preferably a gynecologist (female special ist) if possible - and find out what is causing your pain Don’t worry and suffer in secret, and don't prescribe your own remedies, either. That’s what doctors are for. Dear .Mrs, Riggsbee: Is family planning only for people with large families already? I asked my doctor alK)ut birth control after my baby was born and he said I had plenty of time before I had to worry about that Even though we onlv have one child, we want to wait a few years before having our second, and we don't want more than two. Isn't that what "Family Planning" means? Mrs. S. De\'. Dear Mrs. DeV,; "Family planning" does mean the spacing of children as well as the limitation of family size.
