DR. RALEIGH BYNUM ~~Treating a patient Dr. Bynum Named President Of Optometric Association By Abigail L. Flanders Post Staff Writer Sophisticated and business like, Raleigh Bynum enters his small office armed with the quiet sincerity and pa tience of Marcus Welby. After some small talk and a brief introduction, his patients soon realize that he is both competent and professional... But even a sophisticated sin cere professional has his pro blems. "The biggest problem that I have as an optometrist Mutual Savings Loan Promotes Burnett, Patterson Lenoir C. Keesler, President of Mutual Savings and Loan Association has announced that A. Michael Burnett and James M. Patterson, Jr. have been promoted to Vice Presi dents of the Association. Both were formerly Assistant Vice Presidents. Mr. Burnett has been with Mutual for four years and serves as the Manager of the Rresidential Mortgage Loan Department. is getting people to realize that optometry is the science of vision care.~Many~pHOple con fuse this form of medicine with other specialized forms." Dr. Bynum said. Raleigh Bynum is the only black optometrist in Char lotte. He was recently honored by being elected as the Presi dent of· the National Optome tric Association. The inaugu ration is scheduled in Mon treal. Canada in June of 1977. This is only one of many accomplishments made by the astute doctor. He has been named in Who's Who m the ■South. After some extensive study at Florida A&M University. Roosevelt University, Trenton State College and the Univer sity of Vienna in Austria. Dr. Bynum decided to work on his masters in public health at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. After acquiring his pilot license, he commuted to Columbia by piloting his own private plane. He receiv ed his masters this year. Raleigh Bynum did not al ways feel that doctoring was his calling. During his early days ip his home town of Jacksonville, Florida, he dreamed of becoming a pro fessiona! musician. He has played trombone for some of the nation's most popular band leaders including the late Cannonball Adderley and Lloyd Price. It was only later in life that he decided on medicine. He has been practi cing his profession for nine successful years in Charlotte. Becoming president of such a large and dignified group as the National Optometric As sociation has been an exciting move for Dr. Bynum, but it has presented him with a few problems. "'The only draw back is the fact that 1 will have to do some extensive travel ing, and I really don't feel that 1 can afford to be away from my office as much as I might have to be." Dr. Bynum said. Being the father of three children and a devoted hus band has added to his concern about the amount of time he will have to spend away from home. Raleigh Bynum's rewards can be deemed as rewards for the entire black community. He has opened many doors for perspective black doctors and perhaps even disproven the age old theory that success is merely a dream for the hard working black man. Happiness Through Health Alcohol Linked To Sex Problems • I » _ nLtVVIlVL* to L.ilini-.J-' I yj SEX PROBLEMS: Prolonged drinking of alcohol, which al ters male sexual behavior, accomplishes changes by sti mulating the liver to drastical ly step up its destruction of the male sex hormone, according to results of a scientific study that was reported recently The study showed that the toxic effects of the alcohol led the liver to produce up to five times the amount of the liver enzyme that normally breaks down testosterone, the male sex hormone There was no compensatory increase in the body 's production of testo sterone under the test condi tions. according to the report. The research, on men who volunteered to drink the equi valent of a pint of 86 proof whiskey a day for four weeks, was done in New York by a group of researchers at the Mt.
