VOL. 26, NO. 34 GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1967 PRICE 10 CENTS
99 MINISTERS REAPPOINTED !
IN THE METHODIST CONFERENCE:
Ninety-nine ministers were
reappointed to pastorates and 28
others were given new assign
ments by Bishop Charles F.
Golden, at the closing session of
the North Carolina-Virginia An
nual Methodist Conference at
Bennett College on Friday.
Bishop Golden, head of the
Nashville-Carolina Area of the
denomination, had originally
scheduled the conference to run
through Saturday morning but
so streamlined the business of
the sessions that an earlier ad
journment was possible.
The delegates approved a reso
lution calling for "elimination
of the racial structure of the
Methodist Church as soon as
possible," hopefully by next
year, at the meeting of the Gen
eral Conference in Dallas,
Texas.
In another action the delegates
approved a new constitution
which will permit the Methodist
Church to merge with the Evan
gelical United Brethren under
the name of the "United Meth
odist Church." Approval by all
Methodist conferences is needed
to make this operative.
Delegates and alternates to
the General Conference and to
the Jurisdictional Conference to
be held later this summer were
chosen. Lay delegate to the
Genreal Conference will be
C. M. Winchester, of Greens
boro, with the Rev. Joseph B.
Bethea, of Richmond, Va., min
isterial. Lay delegates to the
Jurisdictional Conference are R.
C. Erwin and Earl N. Contee,
with the Revs. J. W. Ferree, of
Raleigh, and W. T. Brown, of
Greensboro, as ministerial dele
gates.
Alternate delegates for the
two upcoming conferences are:
Lay ? S. T. Brooks and A. L.
Morrison; ministerial ? Revs.
J. H. McCallum and R. L. Clif
ford.
The conference admitted the
following on trial: Peter E. A.
Addo; Joseph A. Carter, Jr.,
Thomas J. Curry, Jr., Japheth
F. A. Kerr and Wilburt A. Tal

A&T PROFESSOR GETS $56,000
RESEARCH GRANT TO STUDY
EFFECTS OF PESTICIDES ON
CIGARETTE SMOKERS
A professor at A&T College'
has been awarded a grant, $56,
576, by th': Council for Tobacco
Research-USA, to conduct a re
search project over a period of
the next three years.
Announcement of receipt of
the grant was made this week
by Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, presi
dent of the college. Director ol
the project is Dr. Naiter M.
Chopra, professor of chemistry,
who joined the A81T faculty in
1965.
The study is entitled "The
Degradation of DDT, TDE and
Dieldrin in the Cigarette Main
stream and Side - stream
Smokes."
According to Dr. Chopra, the
study aims to determine the
breakdown products of pesti
cides, commonly used by tobacco
producers, and how they may
be affecting the health of those
who smoke.
The professor said that since
I tobacco is neither a food nor a
drug there is no limit to which
a pesticide may be present in
cigarete smoke. Recently Ger
many has imposed limitations
on the amount of perticidos
which may be present in tobacco
smoke, and it is likely that the
USA will follow suit.
The research study wilL begin
this summer.
A graduate of Punjab Univer
sity in Lahore, India, (now In
Pakistan, Dr. Chopra received
the Ph. D. degree from the Uni
versity of Dublin and partici
pated in po^t-doctorial work at
the University of Toronto,
where he conducted a study od
"Carcinogenic Substarces in To
bacco Smoke." He served with
the Canada Department of Agri
culture on research work with
pesticides for eight years prior
to coming to A&T.
He is married to the former
Miss Santosh Dhenda and the
couple has four children.
