Becoming A Vegetarian Isn’t As Difficult As It May Seem -_ ^ i ..Becoming a vegetarian isn t quite as difficult as it may seem. The key, according to some natural food literature, suggests that the process be taken grad ually. In fact, many of the dishes you already prepare can be computed into any vegetarian diet. All you have to do is change a few ingredients. For instance “The Deaf Smith Country Cookbook,” a natural food family kitchen cookbook, suggests that instead of cake flour use whole wheat pastry - flour; omit all purpose flour and use whole wheat flour or other whole grain flours; instead of boxed cereals buy granola or whole, flaked or cracked grains. White sugars can be substituted with raw honey, pure maple syrups, unsulphured molasses or fruit juices. Even chocolate has a substitute called carob. And instead of cocoa use carob powder. Refined oils can he replaced with unrefined oils, use sea salt, sesame salt, kelp powder, or j tamari soy sauce instead of salt, and instead of hydrogenated fats and shortenings use unrefined oils for deep frying. This is just one beginning to becoming a vegetarian. There are probably many other routes one may take - but the gradual process of substitution seems to be rather sensible. And sooner q <' A* or later as “The Deaf Cookbook” explains, “You may be surprised after a time to find your tastes changing.” + + + + + Lance Jeffers is a natural poet. Reared in San Francisco, he attended high school there and later Tuskegee Institute. He graduated from Columbia Uni versity cum laude. He has been a professor of English as Tuskegee Institute, Howard University and Florida A&M University. As of 1977 he was still a professor at North Carolina State University, the same year his “O Africa Where I Baked My Bread” was copyrighted. This book of poems, by Jeffers, was illustrated by Beverly Rose Enright. Other books by Jeffers include “My Blackness Is The Beauty of This Land” (1970) and “When I Know the Power Of My Black Hand” (1974). He is mar ried to Trellie Jeffers, and they have four children. The following poem can be found in the “0 Africa Where I Baked My Bread” collection: The Sledgehammer Does Not Believe ..The sledgehammer does not believe in tenderness and the knife turns away from the kiss. The gun does not have loving fingertips; the rope does not groan in bliss. The pyre cannot birth to a child, and the grave does not have a womb; malice does not weep for love’s piteous pleading and death has no need of the tomb. + 4- + + People who have Hodgkin’s disease (cancer of the lymph tissue) were expected to live only two years. But this was sixteen years ago. Today this type of cancer is considered to be curable according to Dr. Vindent T. DeVita Jr.’s report. Dr. DeVita and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute in the Annals of Internal Medicine set up a trial to determine the effectiveness of four drugs — mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine and prednisone - (called MOPP). By 1976, 198 Hodgkin’s disease patients had been treated. Eighty percent has complete remissions after an average of three months of MOPP treatment; of this num ber 68 percent or 107 patients have remained free of the dis ease for ten years after treat ment was terminated. + + + + » According to Jane Goodwill of , Press Associates, these are the “World’s Worst Questions”: Will you promise not to get mad < if I ask you something?; You^ don’t remember me, do you?; ’ Have I kept you waiting?; You asleep ; So what: When are you going to grow up?; You don’t honestly expect me to believe that, do you?; Haven’t vou any sense of humor? 4- 4- 4- 4 One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive every body everything every night be fore you go to bed. -Ann Landers.

He said the goal during the next term would be keeping more students in school. In the area ot nousing, Hunt noted that the N.C. Housing Finance Agency had just issued $65-70 mil lion in bonds to be used for mortgages on single-family aand multi-family housing. In response to a question from Hoyle Martin of the Charlotte Post, Hunt said a larger percentage of those funds would be targeted to urban areas and the multi family housing than in the past. Winston-Salem Chronicle publisher Ernest H. Pitt offered that the solution to solving chronic black un employment lay in promot ing black business. He asked what the state was doing in that regard. Hunt agreed with Pitt’s thesis and noted that the state has been taking purchasing agents through out North Carolina to meet with minority business. Ben Ruffin, Hunt’s spe cial assistant, added, “Every week in the last 15 months, we’ve picked up at least one contract for a minority business. For in stance, a guy in Charlotte has the contract for print ing all the envelopes for all the checks sent out by the Department of Human Re sources." < For In-Depth Coverage Of The y.-t ^ • - r ' ‘ r Black Community Read The Post Each Week. l^mssm* f J CCommunity ¥ { Thrift Store jj £ 2901-A Freedom Drive c f . 4c it (Freedom Village Shopping Center) ^ £ 9 aan. - 6 pan. |j fC Uargest ^ ^ Continuous Garage Sale In IS.C.
