Life Begins At 62 J
By George Russ
A slap in the face with a wet. cold fish could not. have srimnpH
Miss Madie more than did Emma Lou's callous remarks concerning
her daddy, however, what she had said regarding "a gravy-train"
unstrung her most. She wanted to burst into tears, scratch Emma
Lou's eyes out for implying that she had found a life of affluence
living in a government housing project Apartment, taking care of
lier sick father. "Mister Ben" was nice as an old shoe, but, by no
long short of the imagination, he was no bowl of fruit ambrosia.
"Hold it! Stop this fancy contrapshun 'n let me start now
looking for another gravy-train."
Emma Lou was unprepared for her sister-in-law's incongruous
attitude, therefore she retorted with shamefaced jocoseness; "don't
be silly, Madie!"
"Silly man eye. I want out. Coat or no coat. Besides who needs
an-winter coat in August?"
Emma Lou buried her chagrin under mirthless laughter, "you're
a day late, honey, this is the first day of September."
"Be that a it will or may -I'm going to do for you what th' devil
has never did." Miss Madie pouted.
"I'll take you back where I got you from, Miss grouchy-pot."
"You needn't do me no favors. Walking ain't my favorite past
time, but I'd ruther walk with dignity than ride in a chariot of
gold, feeling that I've had my face slapped 'n my t'other end and
kicked.
"You and your platitudes!" Emma Lou signed prodigiously as
she wheeled the car into the southbound traffic lane. "I wish I had
known you were so sensitive about my daddy, I wouldn't have
spoken my cold, sober mind."
"I'd ruther you speak your cold, sober mind than have me
knitting my own shroud 'n thinking it is a coat of friendship." Miss
Madie answered absently.
Emma Lou made no reply. Suddenly she wanted to be rid of
this idiosycratic, little woman and her prattling tongue.
The moment Bayborough Heights- arne into view, Miss Madie
felt much better, and the faster the car moved toward Apartment
2-A, relief lulled her senses into a channelW equanimity. She said,
"if we don't get some rain soon, this town is going to be as dusty as
snuff."
Emma Lou ignored her sister-in-law's observation and asked
brightly, "what have you got good to eat?"
"Come inside 'n see what I have;" her tone was as uninviting as
the hot, sticky heat.
Emma Lou rechecked the emergency brakes, removed the key
from the ignition, picked up the handsome, white patent leather
handbag off the seat; then, she began inching her tonnage toward
the outside edge of the seat; "I could enjoy a cup of coffee and a
slice of apple pie."
Miss Madie left her fat sister-in-law, coaxing her bulk out of the
car, and hurried up the walkway. Personally, she would like
nothing better than to be left along with "Mister Ben" and the cool
breeze of the window-fan in his room, but she had put her foot in
her mouth when she suggested that Emma Lou come in and see
what she had good to eat. "AH that meat and no potatoes, don't
need anything to eat," she muttered under her breath. She opened
the door and walked inside her own clean, cool apartment. And
while she waited for South Hill's ton of whipped cream of the elite
set, she remembered that her bank books were still "a lost ball of
tall grass." The uncomfortable feeling of not knowing the
whereabouts of the keys to her life's savings unstrung her
something awful, but she was able to hold "body and soul"
together long enough to greet Mrs. Perkins when she huffed and
puffed into the room; "come right into my parlor said the spider to
the fly;" Miss Madie laughed and straightway left her comfortable
seat on the cool divan; "you're slower than 'lasses in the winter
time, honey. I was about to take a snooze." She laughed, but her
heart wasn't in it. Besides, Emma Lou was retracing her footsteps
toward the front door. Miss Madie was about to ask, "have you lost
your good senses?", when she saw Cora Mae standing in the
doorway of Mister Ben's room She jumped, then laughed;
"woman! you scared me out of twelve month's growth."
Cora Mae motioned with her hands for her to come quickly;
"He is passing, Miss Madie", she whispered. -Continued.

MEXICAN CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE OPTMISTIC
MEXICO CITY-The presi
dent of the million member
National Confederation of
Chambers of Commerce said
today, "There is a climate
of tranquility in the country
and both foreign and Mexican
investors are demonstrating
faith in the future of Mexico.
They're planning a broad
range of new investments."
The statement was seen
as a reflection of harmony
between the public and pri
vate sectors. There had been
reports of conflict between
the government and busi
ness. "One proof of security and
confidence in the country
and in its institutions, pub
lic officials and in the work
force," said Miguel M.
Blasquez, Chamber presi
dent, "are the heavy invest
ments being planned for
Mexico by a group of British
investors. ' '
The Chamber president
said there is a feeling of
agreement between the gov
ernment and the private
sector nationwide in dedi
cating efforts to a united,
hard-working nation.
He pointed out that if
there are differences be
tween the two sectors, they
are more likely to be in the
methods rather than in the
substance for solving the
nation's problems.
"This is a time when we
should be aware of the
necessity of maintaining
unity and national solidar
ity," Blasquez said.
AHA Makes Charges That Phase
4 Regulations are Discriminatory
CHICAGO -Charging that I regulations to its institutional
the proposed Phase 4
regulations published in
preliminary form today by the
Cost of Living Council "puts
economy ahead of quality of
care and appropriate attention
to patients," the American
Hospital Association (AHA),
representing the nation's 7,000
hospitals, today expressed
strenuous objection to the
proposed regulations and filed
a petition with the Cost of
Living Council asking for a
hearing before the proposed
regulations are adopted.
John Alexander McMachon,
president of the AHA, said,
"Sick people do not deserve
this kind of condemnation
implied in the assumption that
only economic constraints can
assure proper care of patients."
The regulations basically
call for a TA percent allowable
increase in both gross revenue
per admission and in expense
per admission from one year to
the next. There would be a 6
percent limit on outpatient
price increases. Hospitals
exceeding these limits would
have to file for an "exception."
The Association will mail
copies of the proposed
members,
McMahon warned that "the
present range of hospitals
experiencing increases and
decreases in volume of
admission and variations in
length of stay indicated that
many, if not most, imstitutions
will fall outside the limits."
Reflecting expressions of
conerrn from hospital
administrators and executives
of state and metropolitan
hospital associations, McMahon
said this would result in
thousands of hospitals filing
for an "exception" to the
regulations in order to survive.
The AHA president says he
foresees "long delays and real
hardships on the many
applicants" asking to be
allowed to exceed compliance
limits. He said that the
regulations will "hardly give
confidence to either the public
or the health services
industry."
McMahon said, "The Cost
of Living Council's regulatory
scheme for hospitals depats
radically in concept from any
control system imposed on any
other U.S. industry.

Ibsen's 'A Doll's House' Next NCCU Production
The Department of
Dramatic Art at North Carolina
Central University will present
as its second major production
of the season Henrik Ibsen's
controversial play "A Doll's
House, " ' for a three
performance run Wednesday,
December 5 through Friday,
December 7, evenings at 8:15
in B. N. Duke Auditorium,
located at the corner of
Fayetteville and Lawson
streets.
"A Doll's House" created a
sensation when it was first
produced in Denmark in 1879.
One critic called the drama "a
morbid and unwholesome,
play." Another critic said that
Ibsen's classic feminist play
was "...written by a vulgar and
evil mind."
Today "A Doll's House" has
become Ibsen's most widely
produced play and was
recently heralded by the New
York Post as "a brilliant and
powerful drama." The play's
central role of Nora has
become a vehicle for all great
actresses since it was written.
Two recent motion pictures
versions of "A Doll's House"
were released; one starring Jane
Fonda, and Claire Bloom
portrayed Nora in the second.
The NCCU production is
being directed by Norma
Sutton Brown, a member of
Central's theatre faculty, who
will also appear as Nora. Miss
Brown, no stranger to Ibsen,
recently won critical acclaim

TUSKEGEE, Ala. - Black
southern mayors meeting in
Tuskegee, Alabama were told
by John Lewis, Executive
Director of the Voter
Education Project, Inc. (VEP),
that they are part of the
vanquard of political leadership
which can transform their own
region and the nation.
As the banquet speaker for
the Southern Conference of
Black Mayors, held in Tuskegee
on November 16-18, 1973,
Lewis set the tone for the
weekend agenda by charging
these officials with four sacred
trusts.
Lewis' address was received
with a standing ovation by the
black mayors and other
political and community
leaders who made up the
crowd of over 300 persons in
attendance. Several black
mayors compared Lewis'
speech to the dramatic delivery
and content of his 1963 March
on Washington speech. At that
time, Lewis was chairman of
the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee
(SNCC) and had delivered one
of the most forceful and
.... . i a ..I J
miiuani addresses oi inc uy.
Lewis first charged the
group with the responsibility
of keeping alive the civil rights
movement which has resulted
in political victories
throughout the South. "You
yourselves, the black mayors of
the South, are examples of the
truth that the movement is
alive. We may be in a new
phase, organizing conferences
and strategy sessions in
Tuskegee rather than marching
to Montgomery, but we're still
organizing," said Lewis.
The second sacred trust
spelled out by Lewis was that
of keeping faith with those
millions of Americans who see
hope for the future in the
election of mimrtMee. MYwi
are not just politicians in the
traditional sense," Lewis
pointed out, "and the eyes of
the world are upon you. In the
midst of political scandal,
assassinations, disillusionment,
and despair, your election
comes like a breath of fresh air.
You can and must bring an
infusion of ethics,
commitment, and morality
into the political arena."
As the third sacred trust,
Lewis noted that black officials
have the opportunity to he
builders of bridges between the
races. He pointed out that
most black mayors had
received some white support as
well as black support in their
elections. Lewis told the
officials, "You have the
opportunity to provide
leadership in the search for
human excellence, to build the
lives of human beings. The
people of this country, black
and white, are ready and
hungry for such leadership."
Lewis' fourth point was the
sacred trust that politicians in
the new South have the
opportunity u oruig puMi.ivt
change to the entire nation. He
explained, "We can inspire our
brothers and sisters who went
North looking for the land of
opportunity to return and find
that opportunity in the land of
their birth."
"It will be a great lesson to
the Nation and the world to
show that, where the struggle
was the hardest, where the
opposition was the strongest,
where the roads were the
vntllAof urfl cfill matu t
greatest progress," said Lewis.
Concluding his remarks,
Lewis cautioned the elected
officials to be aware of the
pitfalls of power and, at the
same time, to be protective of
their positions of public trust.
"There are those who will
mi thn eleventh hour to
be a part of your bandwagon,"
Lewis warned. "They would
prey and capitalize on the tears
and sweat and blood which has
brought you to this historic
point. You must guard against
nennle and nwanizations which
f 1 o
will seek to enrich their own
coffers by wrongfully claiming
a role in your success."
T;he Voter Education
Prtfjtatf "toe (VEP), with
regional headquarters located
at 52 Fairlie Street in Atlanta,
Georgia, operates a nonpartisan
program of voter registration,
citizenship education, and
voter mobilization throughout
the eleven state area of the
South. The VEP is publicly
supported by foundations,
organized labor and church
groups, and bythe
tax-deductible contributions of
individuals.

afforded my many." He named

Miss Darlington said: "This is
the happiest, and most joyous
occasion of my life. I have
