I will be in the Ahoskie and
Whiten areas this week. This
■ ill give me a chance to take
a look at The Hobson R. Rey
nolds National Shrine, that is
being completed in Winton on the
old homestead of beloved Grand
Exalted Ruler, Hobson R. Rey
nolds. 1 don't think there is
anything more gratifying to bro
ther Reynolds than to talk to
him about the National Shrine
and Winton, his old hometown,
I will stop and see a few of
the loyal Brothers and Daugh
ters in that area. I will prob
ably have a chance to see Bro
thers J. L. Faulcon, the Yeates
Brother, Will iBlll) Brown and
his lovely wife, Mrs. Susan Rey -
nolds Brown, the sister of our
Grand Exalted Ruler. I would
like to stop over at Seaboard
and chat with Jack Faison and
the Broadnax brothers, but lam
afraid I won't have the time.
However, I plan to see Bro.
Howard Hunter, maybe Brother
Newsome and a few others
while in the area.

Youthgrants'
Program
Established
WASHINGTON, I). C. - The
National Endowment for the Hu
manities has begun a program
of grants for support of human
ities projects initiated and con
ducted by young people. NEH
thereby becomes one of the
few Federal agencies so in
volved. Announcement of the
new program was made by Dr.
Ronald S. Berman, the Endow
ment's Chairman, who said that
NEH is encouraging proposals
for projects effective immedi
ately.
Created in line with a recom
mendation made last year by
the National Council on the Hu
manities, the new program
call 'd "Youthfrants in the Hu
manities”—will consider ap
plications from both students
and young person out of school.
In announcing the program, Mr.
Borman described it as “an
important new thrust in the En
dowment’s continuing efforts to
interest and involve all sectors
of the population in the human
ities.” The program will offer
young people an opportunity
to translate their educational
and ethnical concerns into con
. Crete projects and to reflect
critically on their own beliefs
and values as well as those
held by the larger society.
March 17th has been set as
the first deadline for 1 ’Youth
grants” applications for proj
ects- scheduled to begin during
the summer or fall or 1972,
Proposals will be evaluated
comparatively by a panel of
young people prior to submis
sion to the National Council
on the Humanities, which makes
final recommendations on ail
applications for Endowment
grants.

program, including eligibility,

PREGNANCY
PLANNING
AND HEALTH
BY GLORIA RIGGSBEE
Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
I have two children and expect
my third baby in July. T had
hoped before each baby was
born that 1 would enjoy sex
more after the baby came, but
I don’t. M\ husband and I low
each other. We have been us
ing: the rhythm method and I‘m
and
always afraid of getting preg
nant. None of my three preg
nancies was planned. Do you
think that we would he more re
laxed and better adjusted to sex
if I used some other birth con
trol method? Let me know what
you think. Mrs. P. N. S.
Dear Mrs. S.:
If a woman is not ready to
have another baby, and if she
does not have a method of birth
control with which she feels
safe, these things can often in
terfere with her enjoyment of
sex. The fear of an unplanned
pregancy can be enough to
make her so nervous and tense
she cannot enjoy sex with her
husband. There are, of course,
other reasons for a woman's
lack of response to sox. For
example, if she is tired, or not
getting along with her husband
or if she is worried about
something all these figure in
the problem, Physical c>r emo
tional problems can cause lack
of enjoyment of sex. But in
vour case the chances are it is
four of an unplanned pregnancy.
Many women have told me that
after the fear of an unplanned
pregnancy was removed by the
use of a reliable method of birth
control, they enjoyed sex for
the first time in their marriage.
So use of a reliable method of
contraception may be tbe solu
tion to your problem. You
might also consider this possi
bility: with three children al
ready, perhaps you and your
husband maybe interested in a
permanent method of birth con

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
My sister and I are going to be

some advice. 1 am 20 and my
sister is 13, We would like to
know if you think it would be a
good idea for us to have pre
mi ar it a 1 examinations. We
live with our grandparents.
They say no, but my aunt says
yes. li my mother were alive,
I would ask her, but we both
think my aunt isprqbabh right.
Please advise us. Miss A. V.
Dear Miss V.:
I most strongly urge women,
and men t<x), to have premarital
examinations. North Carolina,
as well as most other states,
requires a premarital blood
test for loth men and women.
This istocheckfor voneraldis
ease which, unless detected land
cured, will be transmitted to a
baby.
Most physicians a 1 s o recom
mend a general physical check
up as well as a gynecological
examination. When.this is
done, medical conditions that
might be present can be cor
rected before the wedding day.
A test for the Rh factor, an in
herited condition, could also be
done.
Another plus for the premari
tal examination is that it gives
the engaged man anti woman an
opportunity to ask the doctor
candid questions about sex re
lations in marriage and also to
dscuss family planning and
mat nag!.- responsibilities.

Russwurm, bitterly attacked
slavery and those who advanced
it.
As slavery became a nation

prompted the forming of the A

which sought to enlist Russ

lonization and so did Russ

and joined in colonizing. Al
though Russwurm’s motives
