Lunocs^ nmim\ By Bob Johnson 1 PARTY FUN...After a body has worked 8 hard hours on its job for 5 whole days, it needs to rest and refresh itself. Margaret Mobley found a very good way to refresh her body recently. She just happened to be one of the guests at a marvelous party sponsored by Charles and Pat Walters. ine Alpine Lodge Club House was used as the oasis for this, excuse me for being repititious, refreshing affair. i A host of their friends and relatives were invi- K ted, and according to \ the bartender, Ron Har tley, everybody must : have shown, for they really kept him moving. A cursory glance of ^ bi the guests produced Bob Johnson Freddy and Deborah __ Williams, Eddie and Mary Howard, Byrd and • Yvonne Jamieson, Shirley Wallace, Bonn Bell, *: Andy and Nancy Wallace, Andrew Gregory, : Rick Hartley, James and Ruth Hill, Levoid I Green, Eddie Bell Green, Dexter Snead, Lavon Welch, Elvie Snead and Carlton Johnson. CLUB Ε VENT...The favorable end or result of , an undertaking is what we consider success, and ; the 100 Club of Johnson C. Smith University has experienced a lot of that in the past. Last Saturday night was a repeat performance '■ for they sponsored a very triumphant affair at S Charlotte's Park Center. The occasion was their annual Smith-Living S stone basketball game which boasted a lot of ί excitement, probably the largest crowd ever , :: and some prizes to lucky ticket holders. B.W. Hampton of Charlotte was the winner of a new '77 Chevrolet Scooter. Marshall Smith of Char lotte won a tank of gas and Eugene Stitt of I Charlotte won a 12 lb. country ham. It is a good thing the fire marshal was off that night for even the standing room areas were overflowing with the bipartisan crowd, and the marshall frowns on that sort of thing. Anyway it i added to the electrifying tremor felt throughout .■ the game, and put more duckets in the till for the 1W V lui;. Some of the people caught up in the fervor of it all were Mr. and Mrs. Jim Stitt, Mr. and Mrs. Danny Herron, Gussie Floyd, Barbara Floyd, Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bryant of Baltimore, Md., Mr. and Mrs. Charles Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Cox, Cynthia Lowes, Carolyn Craig, Mary King, Dorothy Swift, Hattie Mcllwain, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ferry, James McKee, Clarance Rickett, Harold Winston, Donald Grigsby, William Deavers, Jack Martin and Marvin Grigsby. The Coliseum is a larger place gents! / MUSICAL TREAT...After such a thrill packed basketball game that kept the hearts of ardent fans palpitating. Everybody fled in many different directions to cool out for the remainder i of the night. Some of the crowd stopped when they reached the Excelsior Club on Beatties Ford Road, • mainly to get an ear full of the musical ·: aggregation, "The Reality Band" from Gastonia I N.C. The Reality Band really smoked as they played tunes ranging from "Shake your Booty" ? to "You Don't Have To Be A Star," and the guest boogied and dragged for awhile. J; Some of the guests by the way included Mr. rj and Mrs. James Dodd, Roy Ezell, Mr. and Mrs. James Dixon, Chuck Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Spaulding, Katie McCrorey, Eddie Battle, ?

Frank Taylor of the Apeco Company in Charlotte had the opportunity to make the trip, and according to brother Taylor he took full advantage of it, by having one heck of a time. Frank, It's a good thing you bought a round trip ticket. CLUB GATHERING...This is a very good time of year to have a party. The unusually cold weather outside, makes nestling in the warm inside that much more alluring. Mr. and Mrs. Duke Chisholm found themselves in an ajluring position recently. They were among the guest entertained by the Cupettes Social Club, at a smashing affair given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.C. Stinson.

OUR NEXT TV SERVICES CAN BE SEEN SATURDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 29 & SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30 Happiness Through Health Cancer Tests Prevent Deaths oy υ ι to rocciarrin The American Cancer Soci ety has begun a pilot testing program that could prevent many thousands of deaths a year in the USA. The test, designed to detect blood in solid body wastes - an early sign of cancers of the rectum and colon, is being made available free in the Washing ton, D.C. area to all persons over 21. The testing processes can be conduced entirely by mail, cancer society spokes men said. The disease kills half its victims, or about 50,000 per sons a year nationally. How ever, seven out of 10 of these deaths could be prevented by early detection of the disease. Dr. LaSalle D. Leffall, nation al chairman of the effort, said. Residents of Washington, D.C. - the site of the pilot testing program - can use a letter-sized testing kit with sealed paper "slides" to mail in samples of excretion for examination. Hie kits are a vailable to local hospitals and clinics or may be requested by mail. If the pilot project in Washington is successful, it will be repeated in other cities. Traces of blood too small to be visible in human waste can indicate illnesses other than cancer, but they indicate that cancer may be present and further testing is needed, Dr. Leffall said. Cancer of the rectum and colon (large intestine) is "the single most common internal cancer (of both sexes) in the country," Dr. Leffal stated. Only breast cancer is more common among women and lung cancer among men, he continued. The U.S. Postal Service has approved the mailing of waste samples. The test was des cribed by Dr. Leffall as "sim ple, inexpensive, esthetically acceptable" and can be used by anyone. It also produces few "false positives" (erron eous results), he said. Some Impacted Teeth The best treatment for some impacted wisdom teeth may be no treatment, a dental surgeon reported recently to the American Dental Associa tion. But benefits and disad vantages must be weighed in each case, Dr. John Lytle of the University of Southern California School of Dentistry told his colleagues. Lytle, a dentist and physi cian, said patients benefiting from removal of impacted third molars are seen every day in dental offices. Their retained embedded teeth must be removed to restore oral health. — "Frequently these teeth have been present for many years and physiologic changes have occurred which greatly complicate the required sur gery," he said. Oldtime den tists were taught that embed ded teeth should be left alone until they cause trouble. Dr. Lytic said impacted teeth should not be removed: -When the surgical extraction will damage adjoining teeth or soft tissue and underlying bony structures. -When a pa tient's general physical condi tion makes it difficult or im possible to withstand the stress of surgical procedures. - When the tooth appears completely fused to the bone in an elderly person with no history of symptoms related to the unerupted tooth. Health Condition Fingerprints may provide a new clue to a common heart condition that can cause chest pain and irregular heart beats, a New York cardiolo gist reported recently. Dr. Mark Wartz, of tbe Mt. Sinai Hospital, said tbe finding may help doctors soot persona with the problem, called Mitral Valve Prolapse, in which a heart valve fails to close pro perly. This allows blood to flow in the wrong direction. Dr. S wartz said be and his associates found that some persons with the valve defect had abnormally high numbers^ of arching patterns in tb«£rj fingerprints. The heart formed during the third eighth week of pregnancy j fingerprint patterns are i ted during the sixth weekj Other-diseases have been ttn ked to fingerprints. (NNPA).
