exercise^,” he commented.
“They believe that when a
person gets older, he does
not need to exercise. That
is not true.”
“People also think that
they can get back in shape
in a few days after years of
inactivity. It takes the
body quite a while to
become fit—it must be
done gradually.”
The third popular belief
that is inaccurate is the
idea that strength equals
fitness. Not so, says Mr.
Osei-Antwi, one can be fit
without being strong.

body begins to disperse
the lactic acid—and physi
ologists have found that
the lactic acid is removed
more quickly if one
continues to be active
after a workout, instead of
lying down for a complete
rest.
Mr. Osei-Antwi hopes
that more people will use
the fitness center. He
confirmed our suspicion
that Americans are out of
shape.
“American society has
so many labor-saving
devices that there is very
little need for people to
exert themselves." But
this luxury of inactivity
takes its toll in cardio-vas-
cular problems.
He also advises exercise
physiology as an excellent
career opportunity for
blacks.
‘ T would encomage
blacks to go into this
field,” he said. “Counting
myself, I know of only
three black exercise phy
siologists. It is a wide
open field.”
“He’s a miracle
worker! ’That man has
probably shaved more
time off his clients'
sentences and won
more cases than ten
average lawyers!” 'This
praise for Icoal attorney
R. Lewis Ray is even
more impressive be
cause it came fi-om one
of his fellow lawyers.
Mr. Ray’s large
criminal and civil prac
tice has included quite
a few interesting cases.
“I once defended a
deaf mute accused of
trespassing,” he re
calls. “He was dating
this girl, also a deaf
mute, and her mother
told him to keep off
their property.
‘ ‘When the case
went to court, we had to

client drew a diagram
of where he stood. He
had a fiiend with him,
and the fidend went up
on the porch and made
the date. He had little
footsteps drawn to
show the friend going
to the house and
coming back.
“We won the case,”
he smiled, but we
forgot to ask if the
silent partners lived
after happily ever after.

assorted plaques trace
the attorney from
Carver High, to Win
ston-Salem State, to
North Carolina Central
Law School, the U.S.
Air Force, Northwest
ern University, and
various other honorary
highlights in his career.
Several years ago,
Mr. Ray was in charge
of the criminal division
of Legal Aid, a branch
which no longer exists.
Of Legal Aids recent
clash with the Local Bar
Association, Mr. Ray
said; “I have aU the
cases I can handle, and
I would be the last
person to want cases
from Legal Aid, but I
do know that some of
their clients misrepre
sent their financial
status. ’ ’
“The main issue is
the divorce cases,” he
went on. “And I feel
that quite often a
divorce is a luxury.
Many times the person
is planning to remarry
right away. They could
get together the money
for a private attorney.
I’ve had clients come to
me after qualifying for
Legal Aid because they
said that Legal Aid
moved too slowly for
them.” What makes a
good trial lawyer, we
wondered.
“First of aU,” said
Ray, “A lawyer must
realize that the judges
and the district attor
ney are the people in
power, and he must be
accepted by them. If
they trust his credibility
and respect his profes
sional ability, then he
will be more successful
in court.”
But recognizing the
authority figures in the
system and gaining
their respect does not
mean that one must
believe the system is
perfect. It is now,
warns Ray.
There is a great deal
of error in the jsutice
system, part of which,
he feels, could be
eliminated with more
liberal use of polygraph
tests. “If a man is
accused of a crime, he
and the prosecution
witnesses should take
polygraph tests. If the
tests show that the
accused man is telling
the truth, and the
