says workshops in schools'
conducted by the group
are designed to inform
youngsters on drug abuse,
and how to deal with men-s
tal problems. ::''
There were several
posters and graphic . ex
hibits. One of the most
striking was a poster with
the following message:
"Ladies it's here, arid it is
now available in its own
unbreakable containers
that never need replacing,
nothing to throw away,'
This special forumla never
needs refrigeration, yet it
is always fresh. It can't
spoil. Everything 4s pre
mixed and pre-warmed.
You don't even add water
and there are no dirty
dishes to wash. Ouranteed
to satisfy, this offer in
cludes home delivery

extra charge and no need
to re-order .because the
more you use the more
you have. And ladies all of
. this comes to you at ab
" solutely no cost. What is
this, miracle product? A
that you won't hear on
radio. But the important
thing is for you to realize
that just because you do
not hear it on radio that
the music is no less impor
tant. v-rV
Alcoholism, particular
ly its effects on the human
body was vividly exhibited
through a presentation of
the Lincoln Community
Health Center.
J Mrs. Patterson, director
of Lincoln's alcoholism
program tended a display
of liquor bottles filled
with colored water and
adorned with catchy
labels, similar to the real
brand names. But the
names indicated the
maladies caused by the
spirits.
"We don't tell you not
to drink, we just tell all the
things about alcohol, what
it can do," explained Mrs.
Patterson. - Services of
fered by Lincoln alcohol
. program include group
therapy, individual
counseling,. creativity
therapy, and psychiatry
services.
During Human Survival
Day activities, not much
was said about its plan
ners, the movers and
shakers in the Coalition to
Save Humanity. A non
profit group organized
five months v ago, the
group is the brainchild of
Munir Ali. Ali and Nashid
Lateef coordinated the
event. The group even
tually plans to open a six
teen hour child care and
educational facility in the
town.
Hoy 6 Anfi-Urjclcar Dared 100,000 Strong;
Gregory Fasfs
-Y By Marilyn Roaf
v Demonstrators came to
Washington, D.C. in a
crowd estimated between
100,000 and 125,000
strong to participate in a
march and rally against
nuclear power. The event
was organized by the May
6 Coalition, a group en
dorsed by a broad spec
trum of organizations and
individuals, including the
Kudzu Alliance of
Durham and Chapel Hill.
The crowd gathered at
the ellipse behind the
White House, where
Michael Harrington of the
Democratic Socialist Par
ty advocated use of solar
power, saying "the only
thing the Third World is
rich in is sunlight. " He
called for a federally
funded anti-nuclear com
mission. The thousands marched
down Pennsylvania
Avenue to the Capitol,
chanting, "No Nukes",
and updating anti-war
slogans to "Hell no, we
won't glow," and "Two,
four, six, eight, we don't
want to radiate." One
group carried an enor
mous inflatable whale
bearing a sign, "Flukes
Against Nukes."
Dick Gregory, come
dian and political activist,
voted to put himself on a
liquid fast similar to the
one he did against the
Vietnam War. He
declared he would fast un
til all nuclear power plants
in the country are shut
down. Gregory said that
he had heard a lot of ques
tioning on why many
black folks were not pre
sent at the demonstration.
He told the crowd hot to
question, but "bring them
with you we brought
white folks to our civil
rights marches." He
declared that radiation
was a -more serious
menace than hunger, war,
racism, or sexism
because one cannot see
radiation.
i.JThe speakers at the'
moratorium on the con
struction of, new plants,
Massachusetts Senator
Edward Kennedy sent a
message which stated thai
plants should not be built
unless people could be
assured accidents could be
prevented.
Barry Commoner of
Scientists' Institute for
Public Information, on
the other hand, exhorted
the crowd to "remember
May 6, 1979 as the day the
. Solar Age was born, and
the Nuclear Age died."
