Durham International Airp
ort is an American Airlines
“hub" and offers service by
many other major airlines
1 as well.
The nearby Research
Triangle Park is an
outstanding example of the
benefits of working
relationships among
government agencies,
universities and busi
nesses. In this pastoral
setting are major facilities
of the IBM Corp., the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency, the chemical giants
Burroughs-Wellcome and
Glaxo, and many other
private industries. The park
is also the headquarters of
Sigma Xi, the national
scientific fraternity, as well
as the Chemical Industry
Institute of Toxicology and
the National Center for
Health Statistics.
The keystones of the
strong medical capabilities
in this area include the Duke
University School of
Medicine, with its
occupational medicine
certification program for
physicians; the University
of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill School of Public Health,
with its Industrial hygiene
and public health degree
programs; and North
Carolina State Ulniversity,
with its engineering and
orgonomics curricula.
These programs are
especially relevant for
addressing the merging of
conventional safety
concerns with rapidly
developing health issues
such as ergonomics and
bloodborne diseases. An
Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. staff of more than 900 is
also located nearby and ean
provide advice and
assistance with respect to
products, materials and
equipment.
These obvious assets can
soon draw on the largest
corporate video center on
the east coast, an 85,000
square-foot facility with two
studios which will be
completed by SAS Institute,
Inc. this year. The 16
member SAS video staff is
already experienced in
training communications,
and their new center will be
available for use by
independent filmmakers.
With additional training
for professional safety and
health staff and employers,
employees, managers,
governmental officials, et.
al., I believe that such
tragedies as the Hamlet fire
can be prevented through
better trained state and
federal staff. I request your
serious consideration to
locating a regional training
center in the Researcfl|
Triangle Park of North
Carolina.
Thank you for your time
and consideration.

BY VIRGINIA TRUAX
TIME SAVER — Cut the grilling time for chicken
by one-third to one-half by partially cooking in the
microwave. Cover chicken with wax paper ana micro
wave on high for 10 minutes, turning and rearranging
pieces after five minutes. Allow 15 to 20 minutes on
the pill, basting with a favorite sauce.
STORAGE TIP — If you store your blankets in
plastic hags, remember to punch small holes in the
bags so air can circulate during the summer months.
HOT WEATHER THAW — Do you take meat
from the freezer in the morning to thaw for the eve
ning meal? During hot summer months wrap it in
several thicknesses of newspaper and by late afternoon
it’ll be thawed, but still chilled.
KEEP IT LIGHT — Your rice will be fluffier if you
place a double-folded paper towel over the top of the
pan as soon as the rice is cooked, then replace the lid
and let stand in a warm spot for five to 10 minutes
before serving.
THINK TALL — Ice tea spoons are great to have
in a kitchen drawer for thrusting into tall jars such as
those holding mayo, pickles or olives.
SQUEEZE PLAY — Your handwashed sweaters
will dry much quicker if you force as much moisture as
possible from them. Try pressing them between turk
ish towels and squeesing water out with a rolling pin.

last year—more than in any
■ingle year of the previous
decade—according to the
FBI Uniform Crime Report.
Firearmi were the weapon
of choice in nearly 60
percent of the murders. And
handguns alone accounted
for nearly SO percent of the
total.
It becomes harder and
harder to rationalize the
growing violence around us
when we realize that the
areas with the fastest-rising
levels of violence are rural
states, according to a recent
Senate Judiciary
Committee report.
Nebraska, Colorado,
Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa,
and Oklahoma, among
others, all had higher
increases in the rate of
crime than did New York
City last year.
Ten years ago, while
serving as press secretary
to President Ronald
Reagan, I was shot in the
head by a man who easily
purchased a handgun over
the counter. Since that time,
there has been mounting
pressure on Congress to
pass legislation making it
more difficult for criminals,
drug addicts and the
mentail ill to obtain
handguns.
This year. Congress
passed a bill requiring a
waiting period and
background check for the
purchasers of handguns—a
proposal long advocated by
law enforcement officers
TONY BROWN
(Continued from page 4)
between 1936 and 1964. During that period, both parties fell
all over each other passing bills that benefited blacks
because—and this is the point—blacks voted 65 percent
Democratic and 35 percent Republican.
Therefore, the future of the race-based “Southern
Strategy” to win white votes is actually in the hands of
black voters, not white Republicans.
We can stop the “Southern strategy” in its tracks today
if 20 percent of blacks voted Republican or independent.
And, simultaneously, we would change the candidates and
the policies of the Republican Party—Just as we stopped
the Democratic Party from being an all-white party by
joining.
It’s not about what either party will do for us (which is
nothing); it’s about what we will do for ourselves by
intelligently using the two-party system.
That's why I Joined the Republican Party.

other teachers and seemed pleased to be
there teaching. The trailer? It was a
fourth-grade classroom that was added
when one of the fourth-grade classes was
found to have an enrollment of 34 students.
They did not reduce the class to 37 and
dispose of the brighter or slower other
seven to higher or lower grades. Instead,
they hired a retired male to teach the other
grade, who expressed pure Joy at coming
out of retirement to work with the
youngsters.
I talked with the counselor (I think she
was) about some of our experiences here.
Trying to identify, she told me the story of
a little girl about two yean £o who was
having some behavioral difficulties in
kindergarten a few yean previously. This
child’s mother was experiencing
difficulties that the counselor couldn’t
address. She said she recognised that they
had this kid for seven houn a day and that
it hit her that the home needn’t get in the
way of school. She talked with the child
and told her that she expected her to shine.
She says that this kid gives her the OK sign
everytime she sees her and consistently
scores in the 99th percentile on the CAT
achievement test they use.

The children, for some reason (some of
them) carried their lunch to the cafeteria.
Perhaps overcrowding, perhaps some
malfunction. Whatever-they all did so in
an orderly fashion. What really shocked
me is that they did so without the
accompaniment or policing of the
teachers. Yes, they were normal kids, no,
they were not robots, yes, some swaggered
and others walked stralght-it just didnt
fnmttmr at this school what the differences
were in peroonality, dress, looks or
economic condition. How I long for my
children to experience a school such as
this, for with the exception of the newness
of the facility, it was the school of my
childhood. Incidentally, every child I saw
waa African-American.
This waa a public school of all-black

board and superintendent. I saw no
evidence of homelessness, drug addiction
or alcoholism on the streets-no mumbling
humans walking aimlessly from pillow to
post. As I drove back to North Carolina
and reviewed my experience in my mind,
the thought that came to me was—Home >t

PET ^ CORNER
I know a wonderful 3
year-old male neutered
boxer who has been diag
nosed as having a thyroid
problem. He was put on
medication. He is a very
large, handsome dog, but
now has “thinning fur”
on his back and side area.
His fur color also appears
uneven in this area. The
dog had one of these elec
tronic flea collars with
the ultrasonic noise to
drive off fleas. The ani
mal’s owner asked if this
would affect his thyroid?
Included among the
many symptoms, one of
the most common ones
we see of an underactive
thyroid, is a thinning fur
coat and sometimes a
change in the pigmenta
tion of the skin or fur. It
is a syndrome that has
been identified in many
breeds, but the boxer is
one that I have seen it in
several times. It definite
ly is not related to the
electronic flea collar. Not
that I think these collars
are the ultimate answer
anyhow.
