TURNER The big thing in the minds of Tarheel Elks is the Mid- Winter Conference, November 13-14, at the National Shrine Club down at Winton and the Thanksgiving programs for the dfed This is a nrocram when the Elks go all out to make someone happy and thankful. Our local lodge has practiced this type of thing through the years, attempting to hiintr Q little cheer to the less fortun ate. As we turn back the pages “ is interesting to note that the Tarheel state has played an important part in 1 lkdom on a National level for some time. The late Judge ArinondW . Scott formerly of Wilmington, serv ed the National setup in the ear - T years, first as legal ad v riser, and then he came back in *1916 and served as Grand Exalt ed Ruler until 1019. We should be proud that our state has been ' able to produce these kinds of loaders. Wt would not be at all surprised that in the u< xt few years, we will come forth with another National leader oi this great organi/aton with men like Jim Falls, I.em lamg: and Littlejohn of the west and Pete Moss, J, R. Haywood and J. L. Eaulcon of the east, and still other younger men, who are appearing on the scene daily. In order to have growth in an organization, we must con tinue to bring in young blood and give them something to do. One of the most disgust ing things for the younger group is when they are brought into our organizations, we do not want to give them any voice in the overall operations and, in some cases, we do not want them to even ask questions. I am saying that we must lie will i ing to do more than bring them in, but give them some official roll and help them to develop, if we want rowth. Wt have al lowed ourselves to become stagnant because of that type of practice too long. This does not only apply to the Tarheel Elks, but to a number of our organizations 'in the state and also on the National level. So T am saying to those of you who are guilty of (hat type of prac tice to gefi smart go out and get the young people and put in responsible positions and see your organizations grow.

Roadvour CAROLINIAN. 44 Heal Americas Division” NEW YORK, N. Y. - Senator Edmund S. Mnskie has called on the federal government to heal America’s growing racial and class divisions by actively promoting economic' and raci al integration of the suburbs. Testifying before a New De mom atic Coalition Platform hearing in Now York City last week, Mnskie said that because houses in he suburbs are too expensive for many Americans, black and white, “we are build ing apartheid for the poor in America. The nation which is Vietnamizing a war half a world away in South Africanizing our cities here at home... “The average cost of a new house in Fairfax County, Va., is 537,000, The policemen who protect the people there can not afford to live? there. The teachers who educate the chil dren there cannot afford to live there. And the people yvho lang uish m Washington ghettos can not afford to escape.” F or there years, Mnskie said, the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights had advocated that the federal government make the availability of low-cost housing a condition of locating federal facilities in a community. He said the government should be gin to move toward a fair and just housing policy by using federal money to “make it pro fitable for suburbs and towns to welcome Americans of every race and class." G@ To Church Sunday * 0 3 Prominent Blacks Endorse His Candidacy NEW YORK, N.Y.--Threepro minent black community and civil rights leaders have en dorsed Senator .Edward S. Mus k!c> ’ s presidential candidacy while at the same time Fayette, Miss., Mayor Charles Ever has . expressed the opinion that Mus kie told truth when he said that a black could not be e lectod Vice President next year in the Presidential race. A leading contender for the De mocrat ic nomination for Pres idenf next year although he’s still an undeclared candidate, the Maine Senator said recent ly In Los Angeles that a black Vice Presidential candidate would be unelectable next year if he was on the ticket. Criticized by members of both major parties, for these re mands, Mnskie added that the white electorate just wasn’t liberal enough at this time to submerge their prejudices when they went into the voting booth. First hi Country Charlotte Pledges $1 Million To Johnson C. Smith University CHARLOTTE, N. C. --Since its founding in 1867 as an insti sution for newly freed slaves, Johnson C. Smith University has come a long way, despite the odds. F’or some years now, it has been ranked among the top 10 of the nation's 75 private Black u niversities, yet the tree-shaped campus on Beatties Ford Road ’ remained largely unrecognized by the rest of the city, The n last November, JC S U President Lionel J. N e w s o m , decided to launch a local fund raising drive, emphasizing the school’s role in the communi ty. Today, the iniversity boasts of local support to the tuna of $ 1 million. It's really amazing tcrea lize what this means, said director of development L. A. (Pop) Warner, looking over the ledgers one day this week. No community in this coun try has ever contributed any thing close to $ 1 million to a predominantly black institu tion, he said, and I think Char lotte can be very proud of that fact. And Warner is not alone in his pride. Officials at the nation al headquarters of the United Negro College Fund--of which JCSU is a member--say that the success of the drive here is close to phenomenal. Our colleges have traditionally been ignored ...and for all prac tical purposes they have never existed in the eyes of the white community, the fund* s.ssis- PREGNANCY PLANNING AND HEALTH BY GLORIA RIGGSBEE Dear Mrs Rlgesbee: ; I have a problem and I really hope that you can give me an answer.To start with my period is not normal, I always miss about five or six motnhs at a time. I was normal until about two years ago. I tried taking birth control pills and they did work, but I am afraid of them so I quit | taking them. The doctor could not find anything wrong and told ime that I should go to a female doctor. But I am so afraid to go to one because it might be ' serious. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with me? 1 Since I am not normal will I be able to have children? And alxnit how much does it cost a person to see a female doctor? MRS. E. O. Dear Mrs. O: Missing your period for five ■ or six months after having nor mal periods can be caused by such factors as being over weight, having hormonal cysts on the ovary, or experiencing an overgrowth of other glands in the body such as the thy roid, pituitary, adrenal, etc. If you're afraid because you think it might be cancer, don't be; cancer rarely, If ever, caus es decreased bleeding. Your condition can !>est be diagnosed by an endocrinolog ist, a doctor who specializes in hormone problems. Most conditions can be readily cured lor controlled by surgery or medicine, so it is well worth your time to find the cause: The cure is probably simple. Don't be afraid to see a doc tor who will figure out your trouble and treat it. As to cost, health insurance usually covers these prob lems. Teaching hospitals, such as Memorial Hospital in Cha pel Hill, a state referral hos pital for people who can't af ford full private care,-will treat S you with no doctor's charge, if In a speech at Georgetown Uni versity in Washington, D.C. re cently, Evers, the brother of slain Mississippi civil rights leader Medgar Evers, said I don’t think a Black man in the country wouldn’t admit that Muskie told the truth. I’d like to see a black man run for President with a chance to win. But we’ve got to show we can win some at home first, he added. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Ca lif., the Rev. Thomas Kilgore, pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Watts; Arnett Harts f iel d, a candidate i n the 19 7 0 Los Angeles Board of Education race, and Willis Edwards, stu dent body president at Califor nia State College in Los Angeles issued a statement declaring that Muskie represents a re newal of the people’s hope for compassion and concern in gov ernment. taut exei'uuvo director, Butler T. Henderson, said in a tele phone interview, from his New York office, Alanta has six black colleges, all of them 100 years out, and the city has just begun to pay attention to then, in the last five years, he said. Prior to 1967, I doubt that Alanta in that 100-year period had given to all six colleges a total of SI million , . , and it is quite a feat for Charlotte to have raised that much tn less than a year. Indeed, it was only iO months ago that JCSU accounced its Greater Charlotte Forwaid Fund, with a goal of 51,5 mil lion from the community for the school’s building program. Prominent local businessmen were lined up to canvass whole sale and retail businesses, cor porations, foundations, church es and individuals. The faculty and staff of JCSU got things rolling by pledging $40,000 to the fund, exceeding by 69 per cent the goaljhat h a d been set for (hem. And the community responded --slowly, in some cases, but frequently the slowness waste cause of lack of knowledge about the school itslef. One wealthy Charlottean’ it is said, steadfastly refused to dis cuss the matter with Newsom for weeks ~~ until he was fi nally persuaded to come for a tour of the campus. He was astounded to s e e what the institution had accomplished under severe financial restric money is that great a prob lem. Cali the Endocrinology Clinic and ask foi an appoint ment. The sooner you see a. doctor, the sooner you can quit worrying. * * * Dear Mrs, Riggsbee: I enjoy reading your column very much. It is very interest ing. I have a question 1 would like for you to answer. 1 had a tubal pregnancy about five years ago. I can’t seem to get preg nant again. I have been to the doctor for X-rays and he told me that one of my tubes was half open, although he said that shouldn't keep me from get ting pregnant. But I don't seem to be abl<> to. Do you think if I took some of those fertility pills that they would help? I’ll appreciate any answer you can give me. I would also like your free booklet "Fertility Tests and Treatment.” MRS. P. B. Dear Mrs. B: Fertility pillg won't open up tubes that are blocked; they only work for women whose ovaries do not release eggs. Your best bet is to see a doc tor who specializes in fertility problems. Bring with you your X-rays and a copy of the surg ery you had. (This was dictat ed by the doctor and is in that hospital's record). The sepcial ist will probably recommend further tests. Then he will be able to tell you what treat ments are available and how successful you can expect them to be. You really owe It to your self to take the trouble to find out just what can be done for you to have a baby of your own. * * * Address letters and requests far a free booklet on birth con trol to: Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee, 214 Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514. Rev, Kilgore, the first black president of the American Bap tist Convention and nil active leader In the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Oper ation Breadbasket, said that I would not support him, nor would so many other Mack peo ple in this country, If we didn’t basically believe that Muskie is a man we can trust. Hartsfield and Edwards both attended a w i d ely p u b 1 i c i z ed meeting in Watts last month at which black community leaders and elected officials discussed the 1972 election with Muskie. Hartsfield said that lie emerg ed from that meeting with the impression that Ed Muskie is a man willing to sit down and lis ten to people, and to learn about the things that have to be changed in this country. I also feel that he most sine ere 1 y wants to change those things. Beginning his one-year term, as leader of the 22,000 student California State Campus, Ed wards added that Senator M us- 1 kie simply tells it like it is. j Black voters and particular!', young people are tired of poli ticians who wring their hands before election day and shrug j their shoulders afterward. tions, and within one hour, the story goes, had handed over a substantial check to its beam ing president. That was thp problem ex plained Warner, a big, genial man in a seersucker suit. For a long time, we lacked the kind of communication and involve ment in the community that we needed.

The rest of the local money will be used to renovate existing structures into a school of bu siness administration, an ad ministrative center, and a cen ter of the performing arts. But the success of the local campaign has far broader im plications, Warner stressed. We hope this m fi I io n will serve as seed money as we make approaches in other areas, he explained, particularly in theu niversity’s attempts to secure funds from large national found ations. Big foundations such as Ford Carnegie and Rockefeller gen erally give to those institutions with a good record of giving by alumni and friends, he said-- and proof of that is already e vident.
