New Offiee Here
Congressman Jim Martin
Tuesday announced that his
district staff will move to a
new office in the Charles R
J<mas_ Building ithe former
('iiarlotte Post Office) on^'est
Trade Street The Congress
man said his staff will official- •
lv move into the new facilities
on August 31.
Congressman Martin has
previously occupied a suit of
offices in the American Build
ing on South Tryon. Yielding
to American Credit Corpora
tion's need for that space,
Congressman Martin asked
the General Services Admini
stration to find new nuarterc
(or his Charlotte office and
staff
The Congressman said a
prerequisite for new office
space was being close to
Tiubhc transportation He
said, "many people make
, use of the services of my office
by local transportation The
Jonas Building meets all our
requirements."
In addition. Martin said that
since his office handles so
many emergency applications
for passports for constituents
it is also handy to have his
office in the same building
with the passport office.
Martin said, "service to the
constituent has been the key in
selecting a new office site. I
hope the public will continue—
to use us as their office and
staff, to help with any problem
an individual or family might
be having with the federal
government."

Public Health at the U’nU^
versity ot North Carolina at
Chapel Hill will hold a public
conterence Sept 7-8 entitled
Cuidmg Teenage Parents "
At tho conterence. School of
Public Health faculty and
area and state mental health
and human resources profes
sionals will address the physt
ological. nutritional and
psychological-aspects of teen
pregnancy and parenthood
Teen-age pregnancy out of
wedlock is on the rise every
where. said La Verne Reid, a
Raleigh health educator who
will speak at the conference.
She said it is the greatest
single cause of students drop
ping out of high school in the
United States.
Reid, who pioneered a small
program for teen mothers
w nen she w orked lor tne W ake
County Health Department is
patient education coordinator
lor the Area Health Education
tenter at Wake Medical
Center, where a similar pro
gram is being developed
Although a variety of local
health agencies across North
• Carolina deal with the pro
blem of teen pregnancy to
some degree, she said, there
are tew programs aimed
specilically at guiding
mothers alter they make the
- decision to keep their babies
Most local health agencies are
equipped only to help the
mothe- decide whether to
have an abortion, put the baby
up for adoption or keep the
baby. Reid said.
Teen mothers--and their
children--face a much greater
chance of having physical,
mental and social problems
than mothers in their 20's, she
said.
oftentimes, stigmas associ
ated with out-obwedlock pre
gnancy cause pregnant teens
to delay seeking prena'al
care—The rh.im-es ot ppiTna _
ture birth are much greater.
Teenage girls who are pre
gnant are trapped in a cycle of
failure." Reid said 'Their
schooling is interrupted, the
family unit is disrupted and
their sell-esteem drops '
Accordingly, she said, the
program at the Wake Health
department begins with mea
'tires aimed at increasing self
esteem : films, discussions,
and perhaps most important,
uninhibited association with
girls in the same boat
"The bonding- is fascina
ting." Reid said of the way
girls in the program have been
immediately drawn to each
other.

lerence, Mildred Kaufman,
