FROM BLACK I TOLD YOU SO! I know, you thought I was just another militant making up gruesome stories about white folks. For some reason you had the feel ing that nobody could be sa vage enough to murder Black people openly in large num bers. I also said that nothing would be done by us, remem ber the chicken race. Well, now you know. We're talking about ATTICA. Something else, you thought Rockefeller was a liberal and that Reagan was a dirty guy. Well you know something, they are both rotten-racist-republi can murders (republican is op tional). The world we live in as Black people has proven itself hostile, especially where white people are concerned. Blacks were not given the luxury at creation of being above "all this world's vain glories" even though some of us still think so. If a man wants to kill you, there are a number of things you can do; a. Run like hell. b. Tell him its not nice, and beg him not to (moral appeal) c. Destroy his ability to kill you, i.e. kill him. d. Tell your lord to grease your wings cause you gon* be sliding down those golden streets in time for supper. O say can you see by the dawn's early light, that Black Folks are dying left and right. What so cowardly we endure, out enemies will dish out. And the rocket's red glare, Black folks blood flowing in the street. Gives proof everyday that certain folks ain't playing. O say does that bloody flag still wave over the land of the slave master and grave of the slaves... well does it? If we as a people are to sur- Dtf Canyla €im& vive, we must look at our situa tion realistically. We cannot af ford to assume anything with reference to our continued existence. To assume that Atti ca could not happen was a fatal mistake for some of our bro thers, let it not be so with all of us. It is easy to dismiss what I say as the militancy of youth. It is not to easy to dismiss our history. Attica has left its mark in our history. Let us no longer assume that we are Americans because we were born in this country. The state protects its country who have been bru tally exterminated were victims of the state, are we so blind to believe that there is a differ ence in our political situations? N. C. C. U. Nursing Department Gets Scholarship Grant North Carolina Central University's Department of Nursing has received $39,894 for its Nursing Scholarship Fund the Bureau of Health Manpower, Education', National Institutes of Health, Public Health Service, U.

DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA | "Do You Be//eve?" l 0 By DONALD LOVE __ £ Believing is a very impor tant and constructive way of life. As a rule, people differ and do not believe as strongly about things as others. It is important for all to have the same beliefs? Those of us who vary in beliefs, are we willing to accept the other fellow's beliefs even though they differ from our own? Cain and his brother, Abel, had different vocations, but both thought it wise to offer God a sacrifice. One thought it was best to give God the very best he had from his harvest. The other brother did not think it wise to give God his best and he did not. Abraham, had one son from his family or between he and his wife. God re quired this son of Abraham. Abraham believed he should give God his only son. Jacob, believed he needed a blessing from God. Early morning, he challenged God because of this belief. Job, believed all things be long to God, even life. He believed this so strongly, he stated on occasions; "It be longed to God in the be ginning, if He wants it back, then who am I to tell God no." What could I do if and when God wanted my life? Job's conviction: "God giveth and God taketh, so blessed be the name of the Lord. David or King David was a strong believer, What you sow, so shall you reap. He has committed a very bad wrong and had not even given it thoughts until the prophet brought it to his attention. Since then, he in a sense, went into mourning due to this evil. What ever happened to him that was not good - such as, some people spat at him and others threw rocks. His bodyguards wanted to bring them in but King David said, No. What he has done, he believed, this disrespect to the king by tliese people, the king was responsible for their reaction. If he had not done this evil, his people would not have lost their respect. Saul, was a strong believer, destroying the Christian movement. He did not believe in nor did he accept this new doctrine. Saul had a lot of power and was able to throw his weight around to get things going. He was convert- Brazil's Costs Up 21 Per Cent in Year In Other Nations, Inflation Is ''Murder' Americans unhappy alwut runaway inflation can expect little sympathy in some places overseas where prices have been rising far more sharply. And President Nixon's an nouncement of a temporary wage-price freeze might be a ho hum affair in countries where strict anti-inflation measures arc commonplace. In the last five years, in flation in the Um 1 States has boosted living costs nearly 25 l#?r ecnt. In Britain, those costs have increased 32 i>er cent In Japan, 30 per cent. In Brazil, living costs went up 21 per cent last year alone. In Italy, a consumers' union is squabbling with butchers over whether the weight of wrapping paper should be in cluded in figuring the cost of a pound of meat. Beef prices in Italy have ri Hen 24 per cent over the last five years. Beef has risen about 58 per cent in the same time in Britain, 40 per cent in France and 3 per cent in Australia. In the United Stales, beef prices have gone up 5 per cent. Apartment rent has risen an average 40 per cent over five years in France and Therese Alie, a 31-year-old Paris work ing mother, complains her rent will double in the next two years. "That's not inflation, that's murder," she says. In the same period, rents have climbed 40 to 50 per cent in Britain, 44 per cent in Aus tralia, 20 to 36 per cent in West Ed against or from his original belief to another. Now he is throwing his weight for the Christians. He was shown how wrong he was even though his belief was unshakable. He was so intune with the Christian movement, he challenged all of those he once sought to kill, about the circumcision question. He was able to show them the vast difference between or from the materialistic view points to the spiritualistic values. Thomas, one of Christ's apostles did not accept nor believe Jesus arose from the grave until he was shown the nailprints in His hands and the sword wounds in His side. But he finally believed be cause he saw. Those of us who were not there, do we believe? This is a very important phase as far as believing. When one can believe on or in something he has never seen, relying entirely on faith, proves the point Christ got over to Thomas: "Ycu Thomas, believe because you see - what about those who never saw but yet they be lieved?" To believe or not believe, is a very personal matter. This must be done by everyone. If you believe, the decision is yours and if you believe not, it is still your decision to make. Always remember, all things are possible if you only believe. Sammy Davis, Jr. Is Admitted To Hospital for Testa LAS VEGAS, Nev. Entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. was admitted to Sunrise Hospital Saturday for tests to determine if he is suffering from a liver ailment brought on by exertion. Davis was admitted to the hospital for a possible misalign ment of the liver known as heptomegaly. Dr. Dennis Campton said the entertainer would undergo tests until Monday and then probably would so to Los Angeles for further tests at Mt. Sinai Hospital. "He has been feeling bad for two or three days and we talked him into getting chocked." said Campton. He said Davis was suffering from fatigue. Ileptomegaly is brought on by exertion, improper diet and not enough sleep. 11 is treated with complete rest and a controlled diet. Blood tests and X-rays are used to diagnosis the ailment. Germany and 25 per cent in Ja pan. The increase for the United States is 8 per cent. During those last five years, the average British steel worker's paycheck went up 50 per cent. In the United States, an average steelworker's pay rose 25 per cent, but it went up 33 per cent in Australia. 46 per cent in West Germany and more than 100 per cent in Ja pan. Some form of wage and price controls have been operating within the last five years in Brazil, Belgium, France and Britain. Basic foods arc subject to price controls in Britain and the government must give tacit approval to all pay raises. Quarterly adjustments arc made on mortgages, savings accounts, owed taxes and gov ernment bonds to compensate for increased costs of living. In the work field, unemploy ment averaged 4.5 per cent in 1965 in the United States and rose to 6 per cent in the first half of 1071. During the same time, unem ployment stayed under 3 per cent in Japan. West Germany and Belgium or at full employ ment levels. Britain's increase was comparable to that of the United States, with the level rising from one per cent five years ago to 3 3 per cent this June.

Specifically the Duke pro ject will investigate three pos sible forms of therapy for the management of sickle cell ane mia crises, which pose a con tinuous threat to the estimated 50,000 American blacks with the disease. Co-investigators at Duke are Dr. Wendell F. Rosse, an asso ciate professor of medicine and associate professor of im munology, and Dr. F. Stanley Porter, a professor of pediatrics in the division of hematology. Rosse said the study will be a cooperative effort between Duke and the Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Winston- Salem, Emory University in At lanta and the University of Tennessee in Memphis, who will share their data on treat ment of patients. Part of the grants cover hospitalization costs. Sickle cell anemia is a here ditary disorder characterized by an abnormality of the hemoglobin, the oxygen-carry ing protein of red blood cells. As a result, the normally round red cells become elongated and sickle-shaped, hampering their flow through the smallest ar terial branches and capillaires. During a sickle-cell crisis which may be brought on in unpredictable fashion by in fections, exertion, extremes of heat and cold, emotional stress, dehydration or other facton ures and government officials say Britain's 3.3 per cent level is equivalent to the U.S. Local, State and Nitkml News of Interest to AH Making a special trip to Washington for th« reception were officials, George W.

Sickle-cell crises are excru ciatingly painful and frequent ly disable the victim for a week or more. At least 5,000 Ameri can blacks require hospitaliza tion each year for sickle-cell crises, and nobody knows how many others are treated with out being admitted to hospitals. Recently several forms of therapy have shown promise in the clinical management of sickle-cell crises, but clinical experience has been limited and none has emerged clearly as the best form of therapy. Under this grant, patients may be brought into the hospi tal for close clinical observa tion of the therapy results. Elon Orphanage Dedicates Three New Buildings E L 0 N COLLEGE Gov. Robert Scott said yester day that completion of three new buildings at the Eton Home for Children here "illustrates what can be done when people care and give of themselves to others. Scott, speaking at the dedica tion of the buildings said the $550,000 project is the result at "the faith of countless friends "The faith which nurtured this institution is demonstrated aut* clearly for us at the moment." Scott said in his prepared ad dress. He said the McFarland Activ ities Building, the Hadren Cot tage and the McEwin Cottage are the result of work done by more than 50,000 persons, some able to donate only a dime. "Let us dedicate these Im pressive new facilities to their zeal and faith and to the use of all the children who find a home here," he *aid.
