It is nice to be back at my
desk for a few days even if it
isn't for long. I had a wonder
ful visit to the old home state
of Texas where everything
grows big including watermel
ons. We divided our time with
the family in Columbus, San
Antonio and Weimar. I had a nice
visit with a few of the very loy
al brethern in San Antonio.
We visited the Chester Bell
family and also Bro. Travis
Horton, who is completely in
charge of the operations at Mis
sion Lodge No. 499. He advised
me that everything was going
well there, and there was a
waiting list of more than 100
at Elks Village which hasn't liad
a vacancy since it opened.
Bro. Horton also stated that
the State of Texas and especial
ly San Antonio would be well
represented at the National
meeting in Now Orleans next
month. 1 had a chance to get
my little note in by saying that
the Tar Heel State is always
represented at the Na
tional and now that our Grand
Exalted Ruler is a native Tar
veelian and 11 '■ National Shrine
is being built on land donated
by him, we are sure to have
larger numbers in attendance.
According to the information I
received on my return this week,
the oratorical contest in
Greensboro, under the direction
of Bro. C. C. Miller, was quite
a success.
The Antelered Guard Military
Department, IBPOE of W held
its quarterly meeting in Golds
boro Sunday, July 11 with die
Sunbeam Marching Unit as host.
The purpose of the meeting was
the regular business and to
make plans for the Antlered
Guard Military Mid-Year En
campment to be held in Wash
ington, N. C., Oct. 9-10. Units
present were from Seaboard,
Washington, N. C., Rocky Mount,
Wilson, Goldsboro, and Kinston.
I am sure all of our readers
in Raleigh were saddened last
\*cek by the passing of Mrs.
Georgia Andrews of the Ober
lin section.
I have not seen my friend
Charlie Brown since I return
ed to get a report as to what
happened at Meadowbrook dur
ing the 4th of July weekend.
Among other happenings on the
local .scone, the G. L. Fox
wells spent the weekend in At
lanta, Ga. and visited Six Flags.
The Rev. B. S. Foust and
his family visited the Capital
City during my absence. I have
been informed that the M. 11.
Crocketts have moved from
the Governor Morehead School
after 20-odd years at which
time Mr. Crockett served as
principal. They are still in
Raleigh, however, in their
new home.

Dashiki
Factory
Opens
BYC W. MASSENBURG
The House of Life, a
drug rehabilitation cen
ter on W. Cabarrus St.
has initiat'd a “dashiki
factory” that is operat
ed by the members of
the “House.”
The purpose of the factory is
to provide meaningful employ
ment as well as wholesome de
velopment to the members.
Mrs. Stella Horton, daytime
employee at the House said
“Residents in Raleigh recognize
that there is a clientele which
will support a viable business
which has as its purpose the pro.
duet inn of dashikis. She went on
to say “In addition, to the fash
ion of dashikis, there is a cor
relation between the influence
of Mother Africa with regard to
attire and self awareness”
Some additional objectives of
the program are to provide con
tinuous involvement for those
in the drug world, outside the
drug world which may replace
some of the .honour of the drug
culture; ti produce funds tht
will assist in the operational
costs of the House of Life;
to establish independent econo
mic development within the
community and to establish
a viable business that will be
sdlf-supporting.
Initial operations are at 500
\V. Cabarrus Street. There are
numerous patterns that each
consumer can choose from. For
futher information contact Mrs.
Horton at the House of ( Life.

In Sex Bias
Given Women
WASHINGTON, D. C.
Nearly 300 women workers in
Louisville. Ky. have been a
v,aided the.largest settlement
ever ordered in a sex discrim
ination case under the Civil
Rights Act of 1904. Anaconda
Aluminium Company will pay
$190,000 in back wages and
rmit costs to 276 women, an
award District Court Judge
James F. Gordon called "fair
and reasonable.”
Until 1967, Anaconda’s col
lective bargaining agreement
classified jobs as “male” or
"female,” with the female
jobs generally paying less. In
1967, the classifications were
changed to “light” and hea
vy,” but women were restrict
ed to the generally lower-pay
ing "light” category. In 1965,
Anaconda laid off 175 wom
en and 50 men. In July, 1967,
It began hiring new male em
ployees for the “heavy” jobs
rather than calling women
who had seniority in the
"light” category. The settle
ment compensates the women
for their lost seniority rights
and wages.
Wm. H. Brown 111, Chair
man of the U. S. Equal Em
ployment Opportunity Com
mission (EEOC), explained
that after the women workers
had filed in court, the com

PREGNANCY
PLANNING
AND HEALTH
BY GLORIA RIGGSBEE
Dear Gloria;
I am a teenage girl of 17
going on 18. I have a serious
problem with my mother con
cerning my boyfriend. I have
talked it over and over with
her, but still she rejects him,
I am a senior in high school,
but because my boyfriend is a
drop-out and drinks beer, my
mother thinks that I should
marry someone with a higher
rank.
Fm rb, l.stmas '• - gave
me an engagement ring, out
my mother forbids me to wear
it. Listen Gloria, I love this
boy very much and he loves
me, too. He gives me anything
I want to prove it. He has a
good job and makes good mon
ey, plus he already lias money
In the bank. The way I feel
now, if I can't wear his ring
and marry him, I don't want
anybody else.
Mother hardly ever lets me
go out with him. I guess she
thinks I will get pregnant, but
he uses condoms and anyway,
he promised he wouldn’t get
me pregnant until 1 was out
school and we are married.
Please tell me what to do.
Miss C.
Dear Miss C.:
You and your mother prob
ably have a lot more in com
mon than you realize. You are
both concerned over what is
best for you. If your boyfriend
is a high school drop-out,
your mother has every reason
to worry, no matter how fine
he Is as a person. High school
drop-outs have a very hard
time competing in today's job
market. You say he has a good
job, but is it good enough to
support a family? How many
chances will he have for a
promotion or abetter job in the
future without a high school
diploma?
If your boyfriend loves you
as much as he says he c aes,
why not ask him to saw the
money he now spends on pres
ents for you and send himself
back to high school (or take
night classes). After he has
finished high school, he will
be In a better position s o ask
V"U to marry him. Too, you
would l>e older and in * better
position to know whether or not
he is the one you want to mar
ry. Many early marriages
break up either because the
couple is too young to know
what each really wants in a
marriage partner, or because
financial burdens become too
great.
There is one more thing I
settlement was hammered out
by conciliators from the EE
OC Clevleand office, and by
reprcsen'atives from Anacon
da afid Locals 140, 145, and
150 of the Aluminum Work
ers International Union. The
Court then accepted the set
tlement and issued its order.
The law involved, Title VII
of the Civil Rights of 1964,
requires that jobs may not be
restricted by sex because an
employer assumes all women
cannot do heavy work. Each
individual must be judged on
his or her ability to perform
the work.
Cleveand District Director
of the EEOC, Chester Gray,
called the settlement a "clear
indication to employers and
unions that sex discrimination
is awfully expensive.”
Th« first "commercial’' in radio
broadcasting only cost SIOO for

should like to point out. You
say that your boyfriend has
promised you he will not get
you pregnant before you are
married. Although condoms
are a good method of birth
control, they are not 100
effective. Statistics show that
if 100 couples use condoms
EVERY TIME they have sex
for a year, at least five would
still become pregnant. A brok
en condom could mean a brok
en promise! Therefore, your
boyfriend is not really in a po
sition to make such a prom
ise.
Consider the situation if you
do become pregnant; Your boy -
friend will no longer be able
to go back to school because
he will have to support a fam
ily. You will not be able to get
a job because you will have
to take care of the child. You:
parents will be hurt. You will
have to give up your role as
a teenager and become a wife
and mother. You and your
young man probably would not
be able to afford to go out
much. And the child - are you
ready, at 18, to give him the
time, love and attention he
needs? Are you ready for all
this responsibility? Is your
boyfriend?
It 's a lot to think about, isn’t
it?
★ * *
Dear Mrs. Riggs bee:
I have been taking the birth
control pills for four months
now and they work fine. My
problem is that ’ still fool
kind of sick to my stomach
after I take them. Is there any
other medicine I could take so
I wouldn’t feel nauseated af
ter every pill? Mrs. W.
Dear Mrs. W. :
The women who seem to have
the most trouble with nausea
are those who take the pills
on an empty stomach. Take, foi
example, the woman who gets
up early every morning, takes
a pill, then spends several
hours getting her children fed,
dressed and ready for school.
By the time she has a chance
to relax and have some break
fast, she may feel nauseated
because she took the pill on an
empty stomach.
Many doctors recommend
that you take your pills with
your main meal - usually din
ner - or at bedtime with a
glass of milk.

control methods, write: Mrs.
