Svery black is a potential im of black on black g/^aldFordiVThat means every black should be part of its solution." Capt. Tracy Oliver of the Charleston poliee said during the conference, "Blacks are murdering raping, robbing and assaulting each other at an extremely high rate." He said 60 percent of all murders, 70 percent of the rapes, and 40 percent of arm ed robberies were black on black crimes. The conference was marred by two incidents of harass ment: an assassination threat against Rev. Dr. Omega Newman, first vice president of the local minister’s alliance; and a prank call that a hurricane was headed in the general direction of the church where the conference was held. However, the incidents did not thwart the high exposure the conference generated. One television station videotaped the entire proceedings and produced a special program; another prepared a series of reports the week prior to the conference.

Day-Care Operators Must Enforce Immunization Law Special to the Post RALEIGH — Children attending licensed day-care centers now must be im munized against the childhood diseases, or an of fending operator rims the risk of losing the facility’s license. Under the new state im munization law, any child attending a licensed day care center must have been vaccinated against measles, polio, diphtheria, rubella (German measles), whoop ing cough, and tetanus before admission, or within 30 days after admission. Previously children were not required to get this pro tection until they started to kindergarten or first grade. “We see this stronger law as an important step toward eliminating unprotected children from our pre-school populations," said Dr. J. N. MacCormack, head of the Commmunicable Disease Branch of the Department of Human Resources. "While we have the mechanism for enforcing the law at licensed facilities, we must depend on the good judgement of the small, unlicensed operators to speak to the children's parents about immuniza tion. However, an outbreak in any facility, licensed or not, may result in closure under the new quarantine law.” The state is making a con certed push to get all • students, including those in high school, immunized to comply with the new state law.
