It will be divided into two parts.” “Part one will deal with writing, in three categories: playwriting, theatrical poetry,' and critical analysis.”. “Part two will deal with performing, in three catego ries: plays, theatrical poetry,- - and critical analysis.” The course is open to college students, teachers,and other interested adults. Connor concludes, “The de velopment of Black theatre in " I this area is lacking. To have a better appreciation of this theatre, there needs to be a better understanding of it. This course, Afro-American Theatre Program, can bridge the gap of that understanding, which is so desperately need-_ ed. Theatre being a cultural expression is not limited to one particular people, there fore it must be developed on all levels for all people. The Afro-American Theatre Pro gram will be informative as well on educational to this community." Happiness Through Health New Deadly Virus Disease By Otto McClarrin A new virua disease in Afri ca labeled by a group of scientists as the gravest threat to human health in more than a quarter of a century may be controlled through strict quarantine and sanitary regulations, sources at the National Center for Disease Control in Atlanta stated recently. New information about the disease and its death toll in Northern Zaire and Southern Sudan was revealed in a re port from the Zaire Minister of Health to the World Health Organization and confirmed by the CDC. The virus ailment causes a severe bleeding fever and kills quickly. Although scientist said it is similar to the Mar burg, or Green Monkey virus, it is different antigenically and there is no cure. ouav/ivo rvwn rCiU PLE SHUNNING SWINE FLU SHOTS: Blacks and poor people | throughout the nation are ap parently shying away from swine fly innocuations in large numbers, according to federal and local officials. The health officials attri bute the limited participation by the poor and Blacks to a fear that the vaccine contri buted to the deaths of three elderly people in Pittsburgh a couple of months ago. Those people died hours after taking the vaccine, but .federal health officials who investigated the deaths said the people died of heart at tacks and other ailments unre lated to the vaccine. Dr. J.D. Millar of the CDC in Atlanta says clinics through out the US have reported “spotty” participation in the program by Blacks and the poor while more affluent peo increasing numbers since the Pittsburgh incident. He said his concern about low participation by Blacks and the poor in the program stems from reports of wide spread "scare” reactions to the Pittsburgh deaths. He said the CDC Juts no specifics tatis tics to support the reports Health officials say they think that the low level of education among some poor people and some blacks perpe tuated an unfounded fear of the vaccine despite official findings and it is safe. Dr. Millar said there is still a threat of an epidemic, and added that the indigent and Blacks, who.typically live in urban areas, are particularly in need of the vaccine. “...All the factors that make for central city problems - poverty, inadequate nutrition, alcoholism - all those factors would make any infectious disease exact a heavier toll I -i i. there (in central cities)," the doctor said. Dr. Millar said officials in several states have begun to ~ contact prominent Blacks and make plans for campaign aimed at bringing more poor people and Blacks into the innocillation clinics. Contraceptives : The average woman who has all the children she wants is about 31.5 years old, accord ing to national surveys. This means she has about 20 years before menopause, duri.ig which there will be a need for effective contraception. What should the contracep tive method be? Many factors such as cost, safety, effective ness, culture, allowance for sexual spontaneity and reli gious belief combine to make the answer different for diffe rent individuals. ^ChecktheadsiiMh^Qiar - lotto Post each week for the For Life-Health & Group INSURANCE CALL: N The Insurance Man EDDIEB BATTLE MB Special Agent For PRUDENTIAL LIFE INSURANCE 375-1425 or 399-6546 2624 Statesville Avenue MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THE POST ARE TELLING YOU THEY APPRECIATE ^UR^USINESS!--— Peeler’s Portrait Stu^jo 1 H The Holiday Season1 . : h Again Upon Us!!!
