' l! lit ' FQ0 I JCflNHUGGtffS 1 . Rev. P.R. (Phillip Robert) Cousin is certainly to be commended for his efforts with the country school board. The superintendent reports that teacher employment is up to a 25 ratio Black to white which reflects the student racial ratio in the county system. While the superintendent wants to take the credit for what happened, we know who kept the pressure on him. Right On Rev. Our hope is that this new ratio will not bring about a freeze on 'Black hiring, and we are certain that the pressure will stay on. Perhaps Bro. Cousin is to be especially commended for keeping the faith and keeping up the fight, despite the small amount of support from our community. It is good to know that some of us will stay on the case when most of us neglect to . Time and timet again I have referred to Rev. Cousin's work with the school board, for he has been a shining example o translating political power into concrete gains for Black people. I say thos often with a sense of remorse, because we find it increasingly difficult to point to such concrete production on the part of other elected Black officals in Durham. Mr. Hunt is still i a neophyte on the city council, but its time for some results to start coming. Dr. Bouleware has the concern, and its time the two of them begin producing for the Black community. Gentlemen, where is your concrete' stand regarding city hiring of Blacks. How come there is no concerted effort to get the Human Relations commission off the ground. It is certainly gentlemanly to play the game and not rock the boat. But let us keep in mind that many Black folk rocked the boat so that the two of you could be elected. Black people in this community went to the polls to put you in office and its time you produce for those same Black, people, not just words and an image, but benefits for the community. There is an old expression which requires one to do certain things or "get off the pot," gentlemen take heed. Representative Michaux is taking on the battle to maintain NCCU's law school. Our i support with him, and we hope he is successful. Tis far better in these times to try and not succeed, than to ignore the task, this way the community knows where yoL coming from. Our two county commissioners are quite silent and political Again the test is not your image, but your production. A 3-2 vote is not always an excuse. There is much to be said about going down fighting. We in the community need to hear from you . The people who elected you deserve more than quiet dissenting votes. Where is your stand on county hiring? Where is your stand on programs which help Black folk (and women) in a concrete way. The people who elected you will vote for you above the other three ancient remnants of the stone age, so don't be afraid or hesitant to raise some hell. Gentlemen and ladies build up tenure, "results for the community," and tenure, are far more important. The city school board has been the most puzzling thing I have come across so tar as Blacks in significant positions are concerned. The recent feeble struggle over re-districting notwithstanding. The fact that members are appointed and not elected accounts for a part of the problem. It does not excuse the present members in the face of Dr. Thomas Bass who stood his gound forcefullyr dispite its inevitable effect on his tenure. In these days of Black depression, and frustration and often white hostility, we need Blacks who are commited to Blacks at all costs. One must have a higher calling than to merely sit among the crooked in the seats o power. There must be action and there must be production, If there is no production, Black people need to be able to truthfully say our Brothers and our sister tlrtfid,.,. Obviously all our problems will not be solved around the table of government, and Black officials. The task is that we must all do our part, the invisible no less than the most visible. I do maintain, however, that if those visible' try harder, support from the less visible is more forthcoming. We must draw the lines clearly with the stands we take, that way other Black folk will always know where the die was cast, and who sat by with a quiet dissenting vote in the process. Win or lose we must know which side we are on. We know well, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." We must assume the responsibility of plowing up the ground, brining the thunder and the roar. Even if there is no harvest for us, tis well to know the harvest others took, was not taken easily.

He said that this kind of leadership could help insure reasonable prosperity in the minority business community. Small business have been the backbone of our economy," he continued, "We cannot afford to let them suffer." Prior to Hunt's speech, prominent Chain members were cited as examples of outstanding businesses during 1974. Plaques were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Asa T.

Citing statistics compiled by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association, SAT.. FEB. 22. 175 WttU '' i it ill ' ' niini'iiiiiiTfiiir " 1 ' "" ' v' f ' Humphrey told the Senate that although the total number of pediatricians increased from 1963 to 1971, the decline in the number of general practicioners and the 6 percent increase in the population under 18 years of age resulted in a "substantial decrease," In the number of doctors per patient. Coupled with the shortage, Humphrey said, the same studies show that there are 133 counties, having a total of nearly one-half million people, which do not have a single, active physician, 1,600 additional counties, with a total population of at least 23 million persons, do not have an active, resident pediatrician." The solution of this critical shortage, Humphrey said, lies in a new and very practical mecanism, the mobile health care facility. Each unit would include a pediatrician and more than one of the following: a pediatric nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse, a dietician, and a health assistant. Additional help could be provided by paraprofessionals and students in medicine and health sciences. ; The program would be established through grants to States under an expanded Title V of the Social Security Act. Under federal supervision, the States would regulate the frequency and location of mobile health team visits. 1 The visits would focus primarily on careful medical examinations of expectant mothers and children, with special attention to nutritional, dental, and emotional problems, child abuse or neglect,' visual and hearing defects, mental retardation and learning disorders crippling and handicapping condition, and catastrophis illness. Special attention would also be given to pre and postnatal medical LITTLE GUYS & DOLLS AND THEIR GUESTS- February 15. was Sweetheart Day for the tweens and the tweestsies (children of the Guys & Dolls, Inc.).

Lack of such care, Humphrey said, contributes to the fact that the Uited States has a comparatively high infant mortality rate among the developed nations of the world. Humphrey called for States to rely more on pediatric nurse practitioners. "It is abundantly clear," he said, "that from the perspectives of time and economy, greater use should be made of these personnel." A recent survey of pediatricians showed that more than half favored delegating to pediatric nurse practitioners such tasks as immunization instruction in child care and feeding, compilation of medical histories and the administration of certain medical advice. 7"i CR Confab (Continued From Front Page) Major topics for discussion will include health care and its distribution, urban education, economic distress and minority groups, and welfare reform and the redistribution of wealth.

The programs would be ' administered through a system of state and local governmental, ' 'prime sponsors'' including educational stitutions and other public and private grantees. Programs would be conducted by local public and private agencies through grants and contracts from the prime sponsors.

The employes told police Rigsbee. was accustomed to arriving at the store around 5 a.m. to prepare for the morning opening. A medical examiners report set the time of death as approximately 6 a.m. According to Officer Webb, the killer or killers, apparently forced Rigsbee to his knees with his face down on a bench inside the freezer and used a knife to cut the back of his head. The medical examiners report stated that Rigsbee's spinal column had been severed and the neck was cut almost completely through. The murder weapon reportedly was a large meat knife and police said they found two pieces of a knife blade near the body, but the handle was missing. Police said they had no idea how many persons were involved in the slaying, but that it was possible that the killing was done by one person, and Capt. Ellen discounted any possibility that the slaying was a gangland-type killing. Police also said about $4,900 in cash and jewelry was missing from the store. The money was taken from the cash box in the cash register and the jewels were taken from some place in the store's office, police said. Police speculated that the jewels were left at the store for safe keeping by Rigsbee parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otis J. Rigsbee, of Overland Drive, who, at the time of the slaying, were vacationing in Florida In addition to his parents, Rigsbee is survived by his wife, and three sons, two brothers, two sisters, and his paternal grandmother Mrs. Claudia Roberts Rigsbee of Durham.
