Jgirner B. Otto Turns Over ' Confectionerv
Business to His Brother
—Has Long Been Dairyman.
Elmer B. Otto, the well known con- ,
, fectionery dealer and dairyman, has
found it necessary to devote his entire
time to' the Esmond Dairy and;
w i l l r e l i n q u i s h t h e m a n a g e m e n t o £ ,
i the confectionery business on colum-
; bus avenue to his brother, "Walter H. j
Otto.
Elmer B. Otto has devoted twenty
years of his life to the dairy business
and since owning the Esmond his
business has rapidly increased until at
•the present time, the number of fcusftomers
served daily by hlg delivery
! wagons, run into the 'hundreds. To
secure and retain a vast patronage
like this necessitates not only the
best of milk but perfect service as
well and to assure his pat/rons of
these two requisites Mr. Otto realizes
that his full time will be taken up.
The entire output, of the Esmond
Dairy is pasteurized and daily tests
for bacteria aire carried on. It is well
worth a visit to the headquarters on
Washington street to watch the
lengthy process which each drop of
milk is subjected to before it is ready
for your table, and Mr. Otto cordially
welcomes all those who come for
the purpose of inspection.

James R. Dickinson Library
Wednesday, December 16, 1981
7:30 p.m.
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
1M HI. Axefhad
Todd M. Axelrod, executive vice
president and principal owner of
J. David Securities stock brokerage in
Las Vegas, and president of TMA
industries, Inc., has loaned James R.
Dickinson Library at UNLV one of
three original copies of the Thirteenth
Amendment to the United States
Constitution. Signed by President
Abraham Lincoln on February 1,
1865, the document accomplished
the emancipation of the slaves, a
deed Lincoln had begun two years
earlier with his Emancipation
Proclamation.
Mr. Axelrod, a 32-year-o!d native of Brooklyn, N.Y., acquired the
Thirteenth Amendment from a weli-known collector and dealer in
rare, valuable documents, adding it to his impressive collection of
original signed manuscripts, documents, letters, photographs and
autographs. Mr. Axelrod has founded the Nevada Museum of
Historical Documents to display the collection as works of art.
A young man who started his own investment business while
attending New York University, and who subsequently became
senior vice president of Bache Halsey Stuart Shields, Inc. and vice
president of Blyth Eastman Dillon, Inc. investment firms, as well as a
successful stock broker in several other major firms, Mr. Axelrod has
made a hobby of building a collection of documents, of which the
Thirteenth Amendment is the capstone.
His collection includes finely framed, signed photographs of
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy
and a series of documents — each accompanied by photos and
signatures — beginning with an invitation to the Nixon/Agnew
inauguration (signed by the president and vice president)
extending to Nixon's resignation, and ending with President Gerald
Ford's pardon of Nixon. The documents cover the unusual, such as
a iove note written in Morse code and signed by wireless telegraph
developer Guglielmo Marconi; the humorous, like an autographed
photo of the original Three Stooges; the revealing, like a personal
letter from George Bernard Shaw to a friend, indicating the
dramatist's strong pro-Nazi sentiments during World War II; and the
historic, like the unpaid note for 3,000 pounds sterling issued to
American Revolution financier Haym Salomon by the revolutionary
government.
Mr. Axelrod believes his copy of the Thirteenth Amendment which
will be displayed in the campus library for six months, to be the one
originally owned by Lincoln, because it is signed by more of the
senators and representatives who approved it than either the copy
now stored in the National Archives or the one owned by another
private collector.

On January 1, 1863, with the Union and Confederate armies
locked in what was obviously becoming a devastating, protracted
war, President Abraham Lincoln issued his Emancipation
Proclamation, freeing slaves held in all states and regions in
rebellion against the Republic.
Lincoln agonized over the wording of his proclamation for
months, and hopes ran high among the abolitionists in 1862 that
the President would act on the slavery question. Their hopes leapt
like fanned flames when, on September 22, Lincoln issued a
preliminary proclamation warning the rebel states of his intention to
free their slaves in one hundred days unless they ceased their
rebellion against the Union.
The one hundred days passed, and Lincoln's attempt to bring the
war to an early end failed. On January 1, a large number — but by
no means all — of the slaves in America were technically freed by
presidential proclamation.
It was two years later on February 1, 1865, when Lincoln signed
the document that, after ratification by three-fourths of the States,
abolished slavery in America for all time.
The Thirteenth Amendment made constitutional law of what had
already been accomplished in fact nearly everywhere in the Union.
But approval of the measure was not unanimous in Congress;
debate on several versions of the proposed amendment was lonq
and bitter.
Public sentiment in many quarters at the time demanded that
freedom be granted the slaves, not by legally questionable
presidential proclamation, nor by legislation, but by constitutional
law. It was in this atmosphere that Representative James M. Ashley
of Ohio on December 14, 1863, offered a resolution that was
worded almost exactly as was the Thirteenth Amendment in its final
ratified text. On January 11, 1864, Senator Henderson of Missouri
offered in the Senate a resolution for abolition.
These resolutions and subsequent motions to the same effect met
with strong opposition from those congressmen who believed that
decisions on slavery were the prerogatives of the States.
The Senate finally passed an abolition resolution on April 8, 1864,
and it was immediately sent to the House, where it failed to receive
the necessary two-thirds majority before the legislative session
ended on June 15.
In the interim between the two sessions of the Thirty-eighth
Congress, the Union began to make significant progress in the war,
the Republican party made gains in a Congressional election, a
movement for freedom had begun in the border states, and
Lincoln was given strong public support in his reelection.
When Congress reconvened in January, Lincoln recommended
that the House reconsider its vote on the proposed amendment,
making it clear that the recent election virtually guaranteed the
Thirty-ninth Congress would approve the measure it the present
body failed to do so.
Representative Ashley called up his motion for consideration on
January 6, 1865, and it was passed on January 31. Lincoln signed it
the next day, and the Thirteenth Amendment was added to the
Constitution on December 18, 1865, after ratification by the
legislatures of three-fourths of the States.

'Heart Failure'
DEAR DR. JOHNSON: My husband was recently hospitalized
for a heart problem. His doctor ultimately diagnosed
it as "heart failure." I asked if this is the same as having
a heart attack.
The doctor answered that the two are really quite
different, that my husband had not suffered a heart attack.
He said he wasn't sure why my husband had developed heart
failure, but he thought it might be a problem associated with
high blood pressure, and he has given him a drug called
Digoxin.
Can you explain, in simple terms, what heart failure is and
what Digoxin does? — Mrs. Theresa C., Ponca City, Okla.
DEAR THERESA: The phrase "heart failure" is often
misunderstood, in part because we doctors don't use the term
precisely nor do we explain it as fully as we should.
In one sense, all deaths are ultimately tied to heart failure.
When the heart stops, for whatever reason, death soon follows
unless the heartbeat can be quickly restored.
When doctors use the word heart failure, however, we're
usually referring to a situation in which the heart can't pump
adequately enough to keep up with the demands of the body
for circulating blood. Thus the heart literally fails to do its
job.
As it turns out, there are many possible causes of heart
failure. Thus tMs failure is a "symptom" rather than a
specific disease.
Some causes of heart failure arise witMn the heart itself.
A heart attack that damages enough heart muscle tissue to
interfere with the pumping action of the heart can lead to
heart failure. Also, a heart valve may not work properly,
causing inefficient pumping, and tMs too can lead to heart
failure.
In other cases, however, heart failure is associated with
a problem outside of the heart. One of the most common is
high blood pressure. TMs causes increased resistance to blood
flow in the body's peripheral arteries, forcing the heart to
work harder.
Another possible cause of heart failure is hyperthyroidism.
Excessive thyroid function tends to increase the metabolic
demands of the body, which in turn increases the pumping
demands on the heart. Sometimes the heart can't handle the
job.
Treatment for heart failure involves trying to correct the
underlying cause. Sometimes we try to strengthen the
pumping ability of the heart. Digoxin, a form of digitalis, is
one of the drugs commonly used to enhance the pumping
ability of the heart muscle.
In recent years a lot of excitement has been generated
over the use of vasodilators — drugs that tend to expand the
blood vessels and thus reduce resistance to the flow of blood.
In heart failure it is important to diagnose the underlying
cause and try to correct it quickly. Fortunately, we're
entering an era when treatment is becoming much more
effective.

JOHN KENNEDY
How well we who saw "The
Queen's Husband" last semester remember
John Kennedy as General
Northrup. Because of John's fine
work in last semester's production
and this semester's "Just Suppose,"
as the romantic George, he has been
given an equally fine part in "The
Enemy," that of August Behrend, the
war profiteer, and the father of the
hero.
Mr. Kennedy came to L.A.J.C. well
prepared in stage experience. He was
graduated in the Class of Summer
'29 from Fremont High School, and
while there he played in "Hollyberry
and Mistletoe," "Jazz and
Minuet," "Captain Applejack," and
the "Romancers," the Senior play.
In the last three John carried the
lead.
John counts, among his favorite
roles, that of Captain Applejack;
first, because it was his initial, big
part in high school; next, the role
of General Northrup in "The Queen's
Husband," and his present role of
the hard-hearted war profiteer in
"The Enemy."
Mr. Kennedy plans to go on with
his dramatic training in Junior College
under Mr. Turney, and then he
hopes to study at the Pasadena Community
Players' House in Pasadena.
All things point to John's success
as a character actor in roles of bold,
hut not too bad men. We wish you
the greatest success, Mr. Kennedy.
JOHN HAIG
The elderly professor and pacifist,
Dr. Arndt, the father of Pauli, the
heroine in "The Enemy," is portrayed
by John Haig. This is a role
demanding a careful interpretation,
which John fulfills with utmost sagacity.
Mr. Haig made his debut as an
actor at Polytechnic High School
giving a reading, Edwin Markham's
"The Man With the Hoe," upon its
presentation to the school by the
RECEIVE GOVERNOR'S AWARDS — Among those
presented with awards from Governor Mike O'Callaghan
were Mrs. Robert Bateman, left to right, Herbert Gerson
Gus Harrison and Lubertha Johnson. Mrs. Bateman
accepted the award for her late husband, the Rev. Robert
Bateman. The four awards were given for outstanding
work with senior citizens by senior citizens.

Senior Citizens Jam Sahara
Space Center For Luncheon
By BARBARA LARSON
SUN Staff Writer
More than 900 senior citizens
jammed the Hotel Sahara
Space Center Thursday noon
for the first annual "senior
Citizen Appreciation
Luncheon" sponsored by Clark
County Committee for the Aging.
"This is a culmination of a
dream," said Mrs. Clara Bailey,
general chairman. "There are
more sehior citizens here today
than there have ever been at
any gathering in Las Vegas."
Recalling that the luncheon
took weeks of planning, and
was made possible by the efforts
and generosity of hundreds
of persons old and young,
Mrs. Bailey told the crowd:
"We as senior citizens cannot
get along without the younger
people and the younger people
can't get along without us. We
need their physical strength
and they need our wisdom and
maturity. We have so much
love to share."
There were a number of
guests in wheel chairs and
walkers, and several groups
were brought in buses furnished
by Boulevard Merchants
Association.
Special guests of honor were
some 15 persons 85 and over,
and among these were Mrs.
Violate Lee Pace, 89, and Ghs
Blad, 91, both native Nevadans
who were born and grew up
together in Panaca.
"I didn't know there were so
many older people in Nevada,"
said Mis. Pace. "I'm sorry my
wife isn't here because then
was home with a sore knee.
Special awards from Gov.
Mike O'Callaghan were
presented to 11 senior citizens
by Dr. Herbert Derfeld, chairman
of Clark County Committee
for the Aging.
Recipients, honored for their
work with other seniors, included
Clara Bailey, Fay Colen,
Smiles Cunningham, Jack
Fagg, Herbert Gerson, Gus
Harrison, Lubertha Johnson,
K. 0. Knudson, Ethel Pearson,
Allan Sanders and Alice
Turner.
The late Rev. Robert
Bateman was honored
posthumously with an award
from the governor presented to
Mrs. Bateman. "The senior
citizens of Las Vegas and Clark
County have been enriched by
his presence," said the citation.
Maggie Coleman, a volunteer
worker on the luncheon, said
more than $4,000 had been
donated by local businesses,
organizations, and individuals
toward tickets for seniors to attend
the luncheon. She said
more than 400 seniors received
free tickets, and "others were
subsidized."
Emphasizing that the
luncheon was purely to bring
seniors together and give them
a good time, Mrs. Coleman
said, "we do not want to turn
this into a political rally but I
do want you to know there are
those who made a special effort
to come."
Mrs. Coleman then introduced
candidates for Las
Vegas Mayor Bill Briare and
Harry Reid, and City Commissioner
Ron Lurie, but hushfrom
other officials and gave
special recognition to Obie
Oberlander of the Silver
Nugget, who had hired a bus
and purchased 51 tickets for
seniors to attend.
Tables for those 85 and over
were decorated with colorful
floral arrangements provided
by local garden clubs and
guests included Ovidia Belcher,

Thursday, May 28, 1V70 LAS VEGAS VOICE Page 7 SENATOR BAYH BLASTS NIXON ADMINISTRATION Senator Birch Bayh (Democrat Inch) recently
declared that "the most serious danger to
America today comes not from the activities
of young militants, but from the magnitude
of the backlash that may result from the increasing
polarization of our society."
Addressing a luncheon meeting of the 57th
annual meeting of the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
Senator Bayh said "zealous men in well-intentioned
law enforcement shortcuts undermine
the very foundations of liberty."
In a blistering attack on President Nixon,
Vice President Agnew and Attorney General
Mitchell whom he called well-meaning men,
Senator Bayh charged that " they are also zealous
men and the zeal of this Administration exceeds
both its wisdom and its understanding."
The Senator said that "unrealistic fear ofunorthodoxy"
attaches itself to administrations
"that lack any clear sense of purpose and direction
and it spreads like a malignant growth in
LetGeorae
doit.

The Clark County
School District is convinced
that the school
story can be told only
through two-way communication—
that school
officials must hear from
citizens as well as talk
to them.
For this reason an
experimental 30-minute
"Clark County School
District Open Line"
show will be aired live
over KLVX, Channel 10
at 8:00 p.m. Friday, May
29.
If the program is successful,
it will be a regular
monthly feature on
Channel 10 next fall.
Host for the special
show will beDistrictlnformation
Specialist
Charles Fleming, who
will field questions from
a battery of four telephones,
manned by
Channel 10 receptionists.
Fleming said he would
answer questions from
the viewing audience so
long as he had the facts
in his, head.
"If I don t have the information
immediately
available, I'll research
answers and reply by
mail at a later date," he
said.
Basically the show
will be modeled after
open line shows on local
radio stations, but
Fleming said he hoped
he had more questions
than expressions of opinion.
In other efforts to
draw responses from
the community, the District
runs an ad in the
nifty nickel and a
coupon in its quarterly
publication to parents,
asking readers to send
their questions to the
school district's information
office.

the body politic." He said that because of fear
there is public acceptance "of seemingly small
sacrifices and insignificant relaxations of timehonored
rules of law and justice."
Making clear that he did not minimize "the
need to put the full force of the law against
terror and violence," the Senator went on to
say that more vigorous law enforcement is
"at best a partial pallative, not a permanent
cure for the problems of crime and violence."
Asserting that the cure is "to eliminate the
causes of frustration before it builds to explosive
proportions," Senator Bayh said "unfortunately,
the remedies of this Administration
are essentially designed to suppress, not to
relieve."
He cited the following as part of "an unhealthy
trend toward suppression":—The Administration's
Organized Crime Bill providing
for preventive detention, no knock searches,
extensive wiretapping, lowered age limits for
juvenile court and changes in the burden of
proof in juvenile cases.
A proposal by Attorney General Mitchell
asking that the police be empowered to require
anyone they have "reasonable grounds" to suspect
of a crime to submit to "non-testimonial
identification procedures" including fingerprints,
palmprints, footprints, measurements,
blood specimens and urine samples. The Fourth
Amendment says a person can be arrested only
if there is probable cause" to believe him
guilty of a crime and, currently, a person can
be subjected to identification procedures only
after he has been arrested.
—A new regulation by the Postmaster General
authorizing the opening of mail without the addressee's
permission.
—A "blacklist" maintained by the Civil
Service Commission of "at least 1.5 million
Americans who might, at some time, have^been
involved in what federal investigators term'subversive
activity.' " , • .
—The Administration s deep seated mistrust"
of the press which leads it to "work
assiduously to undermine public confidence in
a free press while at the same time launching
a concentrated effort to intimidate the news
media."
Senator Bayh said the Administration has
made "an insidious effort to equate dissent
and disagreement with criminal attitudes or
lack of patriotism." He pointed out that history
shows that "leaders who abdicate their
responsibility to lead who refuse to face problems
when they should be faced, eventually
reap a bitter harvest of contempt for their lack
of forthrightness." He charged that the present
Administration, "frightened by innovation and
dismayed by dissent, strives for mediocrity.
"Unable to break free of conformity and
conventionality to deal effectively with the nation's
problems, it becomes ever more obsessed
with security," he declared.
According to Senator Bayh, "it is not unreasonable
to expect that a good many citizens
will explode in violent rage" because of the
nation's incapability "to arrest the deterioration
of its cities, to clean up its streets, to halt the
war in Vietnam and to stop the growth of
crime."
The Senator said that despite President Nixon's
promise "to bring us together," the Administration's
"specialty seems to be polarization
of the American people by playing on
their frustrations, prejudices and fears."
Senator Bayh said the course the nation is
pursuing is "demagogic, divisive and dangerous."
"I object", he concluded, "to the effort to
pit one American against another, black against
white, young against old, poor against affluent,
North against South. I object to efforts to mute
those who disagree. I object to anything less
than an all out effort to finish the unfinished
business of America— the business of making
this country truly a land of equal opportunity,
of restoring love not hate, compassion not
selfishness, of finding meaningful peace in our
neighborhoods, nation and world."

LINES TO TALK ABOUT.
NEW YORK CITY—The story behind the untimely
passing of glorious soulful songstress
Gloria Lynn is reported as none too beautiful.. .
Wilson Pickett, the fella with a soul full of songs
is extremely uptight about the wrong slant of
the headlines he busted the front pages with last
week. He said it isn't true that he accused Tom
Jones, or any other artist, of stealing "Soul
Music." According to him, his point of view is
that the top rock radio stations have failed to
give black singers and musicians enough airplays,
but go all out when spinning the stuff
performed by white chirpers. . .There's a story
making the rounds that Gloria Toote, who
ran into hard times with her dream $500,000
Town Sound Studios in New Jersey, is coming
back in the business like a champ. An exciting
announcement is due from her direction before
the sun settles on either side of Tin Pan Alley.
Friends of Duke Ellington's late Johnny
Hodges, the alto - sax immortal who gave soul to
the Duke's sharps and flats before most entertainers
even read the phrase in the Bible,
are wondering who selected the Masonic Temple
in upper Harlem for his funeral. The place was
so small more than a hundred of his local
friends and VIP's from all over the country had
to be turned away and the street scene outside
of the Temple looked like a gathering of the
Who's Who of the music world.. .Julie Belafonte
and Sidney Poitier are heading up the national
drive to send Andrew Young, the man who was
closest to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
to Congress from Alanta, Ga. The first big
bash they have planned is a $100 per dinnerdance
at the posh Pierre Hotel in big town. . .
Eddie Greene, who married into an auto fortune,
the executor of the estate of the late nationally
known Dr. Shag Hogan, is wondering who went
where with the 75G's the popular doctor had
stashed behind the teevee screen in his 115 St.
apt. With his insurance and all that, Eddie is also
wondering h'cum his former pal s funeral bill
was still unpaid as of a wk.-ago.1 have also been
told that Shag's will is going to surprise and
shake-up a lot of greedy folks.
The Grahame (Leslie Uggams) Pratts have
adopted that baby of a mixed marriage they fell
in love with when they were here vacationing
about a month ago. Leslie and her hubby flew into
town last Tuesday to sign the papers and jet -
the youngster off to H'wood for keeps the day
after. The pretty singer is up to here with engagements
for the hot months. Aside from doing
summer stock, she has been signed togueststar
on three teevee variety shows. It will be the
Andy Williams eyer in August, Dean Martin in
Nov. and the Carol Burnett bit inDec.Inbetween
all that there may even be a benefit fling for
Wilberforce U. with either Sammy Davis, and or,
Flip Wilson lending her some talent. . .The National
Council of Police Societies have some
broad plans outlined for their annual convention
in Atlantic City. Their three main topics will be
"Narcotics, The duel role of black police as a
member of the community and Racial polarity
in police departments and the role of the white
officers in the black revolution.
Sammy Davis, Jr. has signed Burt Lancaster
to co-star with him in his first important
western. They are scheduled to go before the
camera in Mexico comes June. By the way it
isn't true that Lola Falana ain't speaking to the
total talented one since his marriage to lovely
Alrrovese Gore. Like everybody who is close to
the golden lad, Lola expected the hitching, but
none of them knew when. . .Aretha Franklin has
squared away her Las Vegas differences and
will be on
to her jaunt to Europe. Her agent, the only black
woman doing such on B'way, Ruth Bowen, expects
to have had her operation and be well mended in
time to make the jet to the old country with
her prize performer. . .Illinois and Barbara

Aretha Franklin - Redd Foxx
Slated For
International Aretha Franklin, who has risen steadily from
singing in her minister father's evangelistgroup
to become the "Queen of Soul" with record
sales approaching ten million, adds still a new
dimension to her meteoric career when she
opens Monday in the main showroom of the
International Hotel for a special two-week engagement.
Joining Miss Franklin for her International
bow will be long-time Las Vegas comedy favorite.
Redd Foxx, the undisputed "King of the
Party Records". On the same bill will be the
Caravans, L.C. Cook and the Sweethearts of
Soul. The Joe Guercio Orchestra will provide
the musical backing.
While the diminutive Miss Franklin is normally
shy. she comes remarkably alive when she
is singing. Her openly emotional and fervent
style has endeared her to an ever-widening
following, whose own enthusiastic admiration is
just as open and fervent.
Miss Franklin's life was immersed in music
from early childhood when she sang in her
father's church choir. Such luminaries as
Mahalia Jackson. Clara Ward, Dinah Washington,
and Lou Rawls were regular guests at the Franklin
home. In fact her own singing style embodies
a wide range, from gospel to rhythm and
blues, clearly reflecting the influence of these
music world greats.
The Grammy and Golden Mike winning artist
was the subject of a recent television documentary
on ABC. In constant demand as a concert
artist. Aretha is also a favorite on numerous
television programs such as the Kraft Music
Hall and with such stars as Johnny Carson and
Merv Griffin.
Foxx has been a regular in the International s
big Casino Theatre and rates as one of the
hotel's most popular entertainers. The move
from the lounge into the 2,0000-seat showroom
should be a natural for the hilarious stand-up
comic whose "adults only" approach to humor
has earned him a universal following.
Aretha Franklin and Redd Foxx will appear
twice nightly at 8:00 p.m. and midnight through
June 14 with George Hamilton following.
has been summoned to H'wood for a screen test
. . .Willie Mays' daughter and Walt Frazier's
son are dating.

A TEEVEE COMMERCIAL FOR BLACK
PEOPLE—Gil Noble, the ABC - TV commentator
and his show, "Tell it Like It Is," have both
won Emmy awards for the joy each has brought
to the TV audience. As a result it is hard
for this scribe to understand h'cum this show
remains unsponsored. Is it because Gil happens
to be black and relates to the plight of the hued
man in America. But never mind all that since
I have a feeling, and would like to suggest
that black people sponsor this show. However
not to sell someprpduct, but to sgll OURSELVES.
If vou're like me, you're sick and tired of everybody
writing and tlaking about the blackman,
but nobody telling his story.
"Tell it Like it Is" could wipe-out this gross
oversight on a national basis if BLACK
PEOPLE we just buy this time. We could do
it as individuals, in groups, as members of an
organization or collective business owners, insurance
companies or banks. The layout of funds
would be so small we wouldn't have to even
deny ourselves that pack of cigarettes which
scientists say are killers anyway. I am going
to keep after you about this, but for now,
STAY LOOSE.

SPORTS By ELBURT MILLER
HE'S GONE FOR GOOD
The question lurking in the minds of many
people is "Who will replace the lost Wizard ?
Come next week, or early the following week,
the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, should
have a head basketball coach. By that time it
will be more than five weeks since Rolland Todd
announced his resignation at UNLV to become
coach of the Portland expansion franchise in the
National Basketball Association.
Since Rolland Todd is in the processes of
making his epic journey to Portland, Oregon,
1 feel it necessitates the answering of a few
questions you, the public, asked to know.
First of all, was Rolland Todd a good coach?
Todd has as much knowledge of the game of
basketball as anyone else in the country. He
implemented the run-and-shoot type of game into
his offense being fully aware that not only is
that the mask exciting part of the game, but
it would be most rewarding in recruiting those
touted California athletes who love this type of
play. The Black athlete is built around the runand-
shoot type of game—California has produced
some of the great ones— not being naive of this
fact Coach Todd went to work recruiting the
tremendous Black athletes who sprinkle throughout
the California area. With the idea and determination
of them helping him build a dynasty
at UNLV Coach Todd once replied "a good coach
is only judged on his won & lost record and
that's the only real criterion." By thatcriterion,
which isn't mind, he had to be a good coach
in that judgement.
Secondly, How was Coach Todd such a great
recruiter? I can remember backwhen Todd came
to San Diego in hopes of recruiting me to this
University. Todd had a basic philosophy of the
black athletes problem since he himself grew
up in an area where integration with all breeds
was a common entity. Todd learned many of the
hangups and disappointments, goals and desires
desires of the athletes who began their career
playing ball in the streets. Utilizing what he
had learned growing up, when he became head
coach here and began his recruiting program,
he immediately headed for the area he knew
produced some of the finest basketball players
in the country. He communicated with the black
athlete, not at an intellectual level, but at the
common level that the black athlete knew and
could appreciate. Subsequently, because of his
communication and relationship with the black
athlete it was a tremendous tool in recruiting
many of those highly sought after players,
who needed to be convinced which college or
university to attend.
From all measureable standpoints, Todd had
to be one of the better recruiting coaches on
the West Coast. Since this Wizard is gone, who
will replace him and how will the University
fare now? I don't know who will replace Coach
Todd, but the show will go on; maybe the University
will tell. Anyway you look at it; Progress
stops for no man? So keep the banners up.

Union members can and should take a leading
role in putting badly-needed programs—intended
to meet human needs—into operation at the
local level, AFL-CIO Community Services Director
Leo Perlis, declared today in a network
radio interview.
Perlis pointed out that union members "strive
hard to elect the right kind of candidates to
public office" and to help enact "legislation for
the benefit of the people." He said there is a
implementation of those programs in their own
communities. That, he noted, was the central aim
of the recent AFL-CIO National Conference on
Community Services, held in Washington, D.C.
"Perhaps the most crucial welfare problem
now facing most of the people in this country"
is the need for more adequate and readily available
medical care, he said. He said that local
union members will be helping to educate their
fellow citizens to the need for "real overhaul
of our medical delivery system."
Perlis said there is a broad and growing
public demand for a national health insurance
program. "We have tried for many years,
through voluntary health schemes, to meet the
needs of the people, but obviously, they are
not being met" he asserted. He added thatwhile
many voluntary health and medical plans are
"quite good on a voluntary basis. . .they are not
as comprehensive as they should be," and are
often out of reach for many people.
Perlis reported that some 500 delegates
from local and international unions, central labor
bodies and observers from various voluntary
agencies took part in the general sessions
and workshops at the four-day conference. He
said that most of the union delegates "work
full-time in the area of community service. . .
helping to meet the immediate and emergency
needs" of all citizens. He added that "thousands
upon thousands" of union members also work
as volunteers with various agencies in the
effort to "pull together for a better community.
Reporters questioning Perlis were Don Finley
labor correspondent for I 'nited Press International,
and Harry Conn, editor of Press
Associates. Incorporated. The AFL-CIO produced
public affairs program was broadcast
Tuesday at 9:35 p.m. (EDT), on the Mutual
Broadcasting System, and at 11:05 p.m. on
W AVA-FM in Washington, D.C.

NEVADA NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE INVESTIGATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Nuclear Waste Management Program is the responsibility of the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Nuclear Waste Management. The DOE
is developing or improving the technology for safely and permanently isolating
nuclear wastes from the biosphere. Regional repository sites are needed to
accommodate the growing quantities of highly radioactive nuclear wastes being
accumulated at commercial nuclear reactor sites across the United States.
Regardless of what the future holds for the nuclear power industry, the substantial
accumulations of radioactive wastes that already exist need to be permanently
disposed of in repositories designed especially for that purpose. The
protection of the public health and safety of both current and future generations
is the prime consideration in the selection of repository sites and the
disposal technology employed.
Several methods have been proposed to permanently isolate highly radioactive
nuclear wastes from the biosphere. At the request of the President, an
Interagency Review Group (IRG) on Nuclear Waste Management was established to
examine the proposed disposal methods and to subject its views to public
review and comment. After carefully considering the many comments received, a
final report was prepared which summarized the comments and presented the
IRG's conclusions and recommendations to the President. The proposed methods
examined by the IRG and exposed to public review include storage in mined
underground repositories, disposal in mined cavities in a manner that leads to
rock melting, placement in deep ocean sediments, insertion into very deep
drill holes, and ejection into space.
In its report to the President, the IRG recommended that the first disposal
facilities be mined repositories. Mined repositories can easily be inspected
and monitored—even waste retrieval is possible if that should become advisable.
The IRG also recommended that the approach to permanent disposal of nuclear
1
waste should be to proceed systematically in a technically conservative
manner. Scientific data are needed to provide the site-specific and regional
information required for sound decision-making concerning the ultimate disposal
of highly radioactive wastes.
The present emphasis in the U.S. Nuclear Waste Management Program is to
evaluate the suitability of potential repository sites. Consequently, several
areas of the United States have been selected for study and experimental
investigations. Once these areas have been thoroughly evaluated, the information
obtained will indicate whether any of these sites are acceptable. If
none of the initial study areas are determined to be suitable for a repository,
alternative locations and rock masses will be selected for study. This document
describes the Nevada portion of the U.S. Nuclear Waste Management Program.
Experiments in mined underground facilities are being conducted to determine
the suitability of potential host-rock media and to test the effectiveness of
engineered containment systems.
2
WHY IS SOUTHERN NEVADA BEING CONSIDERED?
Southern Nevada is one of the areas of the United States that is being
considered for a possible repository site. The scarcity of groundwater and
the existence of potentially suitable rock masses were the primary considerations
for selecting arid southern Nevada. In addition, southern Nevada has a
proven capability and site for conducting underground experimental investigations
and a unique facility for working with intensely radioactive materials.
The groundwater conditions around and in the vicinity of a nuclear waste
repository are important from a long-term safety standpoint. Since some
radioactive substances might eventually escape an engineered containment
system and migrate with groundwater, it is important to reduce this possibility
to a minimum. Therefore, the less groundwater there is in the area of a
repository and the slower it moves, the greater is the long-term safety
factor. In southern Nevada, most of the existing groundwater migrates slowly
and lies deep below the surface. Furthermore, most of the groundwater flow
paths lead to hydrologically closed desert basins.
The nature and extent of underground rock masses are also important from
a long-term safety standpoint. A desirable host-rock mass for a nuclear waste
repository would serve as a natural barrier against nuclear waste migration to
back up the engineered containment system. Consequently, the ability of the
host rock to prevent or retard the migration of radionuclides is a prime site
selection consideration.
The NTS is the primary location of interest in southern Nevada. Withdrawn
federal lands bordering the NTS are also being considered. There are several
reasons for focusing attention on the NTS area in addition to its favorable
groundwater conditions, potentially suitable rock masses, and unique experimental
capabilities. For instance, the NTS is vast in size, is remote from
populated areas, and all surrounding lands are federally owned. A dedicated
radiological safety management program already exists at the NTS. This program
is supplemented by ecological studies of the NTS and an environmental surveillance
program outside the boundaries of the NTS which are being carried out by
3
outside organizations and another federal agency. Finally, the appropriate
support facilities and equipment and a qualified work force are available
help conduct experiments on or near the NTS.

WHAT ARE THE NEVADA NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE INVESTIGATIONS?
The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) consist of a
variety of studies and evaluations in support of the U.S. Nuclear Waste Management
Urogram. These investigations are being coordinated by the Nevada Operations
Office of the DOE. The NNWSI were formally organized in 1977 and are
primarily oriented towards developing or improving the technology of nuclear
waste storage and disposal and determining whether selected underground rock
media on or adjoining the NTS are technically acceptable for a licensed,
permanent, high-level nuclear waste repository. The major investigations
currently in progress are briefly described in the following sections.
REGIONAL AND SITE-SPECIFIC INVESTIGATIONS
Two of the primary issues addressed by the NNWSI are concerned with (1)
whether a nuclear waste repository would be compatible with the prime NTS
mission, nuclear weapons testing, and (2) whether an acceptable disposal
medium exists within a suitable geohydrologic setting on or adjacent to the
NTS. The southwest portion of the NTS has been designated by the nuclear
weapons community as an area where a repository could be located without
interfering with weapons testing activities. The seismic data already acquired
by NNWSI participants indicate that the southwest portion of the NTS is sufficiently
remote from nuclear weapons testing to make the siting of an underground
repository in that area feasible. Current efforts in the southwest NTS area
include a variety of hydrologic, geologic, geophysical, and host-rock investigations
.
A comprehensive regional hydrologic model is being developed by NNWSI
participants for the NTS area. This model will take into account paleohydrologic
or "groundwater history" data which are being gathered and studied to define
groundwater conditions for the NTS region that existed during Quaternary
glacial and interglacial climatic regimes. Knowledge of past and present
groundwater activity is the most reliable basis on which to predict future
groundwater behavior. The regional hydrologic model will be used to characterize
groundwater systems and to predict groundwater migration rates, flow paths,
and radionuclide dilution and sorption in geologic media.
5
The regional geologic and geophysical investigations performed by NNWSI
participants are revealing the present geologic nature and geologic history of
the NTS area. The data from these investigations will be correlated with
those from the regional hydrologic investigations to provide the geohydrologic
-informal-inn needed for sound decision-making in regard to the technical acceptability
of siting a permanent repository at a specific location within the NTS
region.
Studies of regional tectonics, seismicity, and volcanism are part of the
NNWSI. These studies are being conducted to assess the potential for faulting,
damaging earthquakes, accelerated erosion, and volcanic activity to occur and
to assess the effects of these phenomena on repository performance. In
addition, the ground motion induced by nuclear weapons tests is being measured
both at the surface and underground to determine repository design requirements.
Exploratory drilling provides current and historical data about the subsurface
environment.
6
The NNWSI are evaluating specific host-rock masses to determine their
acceptability as storage media for highly radioactive solid wastes, whether a
rock mass is acceptable or not depends primarily on its physical, chemical,
and mechanical properties. These Drnnpi-Umo u •
• « w. t i_ properties are being determined and evaluated
in both laboratory and field studies THo f-t i j
studies. The field studies include the establishmeat
of test facilities within selected rock masses to measure the geohydrologic
geochemical, and physicomechanical response of these rock masses to test
conditions. The resulting data are being used to develop models for predicting
how well a repository would perform its mission over its intended life-span.
SPENT FUEL HANDLING AND ENCAPSULATION
One of the facilities that makes the NTS a national resource is the
E-MAD facility; E-MAD stands for Engine Maintenance, Assembly, and Disassembly.
is facility was originally designed for working with highly radioactive
experimental nuclear engines for rockets. The building has also been used for
e fabrication and assembly of massive railroad cars used as reactor test
beds as well as the assembly and disassembly of prototype gas-cooled reactors
01 advanced design.
The E-MAD facility is presently being used to develop, evaluate, and
improve the technology of handling and encapsulating spent fuel assemblies,
ith some modifications, the building and machinery designed for working
remotely with experimental reactors were adapted to work with spent reactor

only superficial damage. Upon arrival at the E-MAD facility, each spent fuel
assembly was removed from its shipping cask, inspected, and inserted into
an experimental stainless steel storage canister. After the canister closure
lid was threaded in place and welded shut, each canister was leak-tested to
ensure perfect containment. The experimental canisters and their temporary
storage environs are equipped with instruments which are providing scientists
with information needed to evaluate and advance the technology for storing
spent reactor fuel.
SURFACE AND NEAR-SURFACE TESTS
Temporary surface and near-surface storage methods for spent reactor fuel
are being evaluated at the NTS neat to the E-MAD facility. Temporary storage
methods may be used to cool do™ heat-generating radioactive materials prior
to final disposal or to provide overflow storage capacity for spent reactor
fuel from commercial nuclear power plants. The following surface and nearsurface
tests are currently in progress and are expected to continue for
several years.
The first method of temporary storage being tested involves storing a
P L canister in an aboveground, sealed concrete storage silo which is
designed to virtually eliminate external radiation and to withstand earthquake
tipover without significant damage. This silo i, extensively reinforced with
steel rebar; it stands 21 feet high, is 9 feet in diameter, weighs about 95
tons, and sets on a reinforced concrete pad that is 14 feet square and 6 feet
t ick. The silo is instrumented to measure various container properties and
temperatures. An 18-inch-diameter opening in the center of the silo is designed
o .old a canister containing a spent fuel assembly and a shield plug.
The second method of temporary storage being tested involves storing
spent fuel canisters in near-surface dry wells. The 25-foot-deep dry wells
are spaced 20 feet apart in the center of railroad tracks built especially for
this purpose. The holes are 28 inches in diameter and are equipped with
18-inch-diameter steel liners which are cemented in place. The encapsulated
uel assemblies are transported to and emplaced in the dry wells using a
9
shielded railcar-mounted vehicle formerly used in the nuclear rocket development
program; the vehicle was modified to handle the canisters. The wells are
instrumented to collect and record canister and liner temperatures, soil
temperatures near the wells, and radioactivity levels.
UNDERGROUND TEST
The NNWSI are currently conducting a test of the feasibility of storing
spent reactor fuel in an underground crystalline rock formation. This formation
is generically representative of crystalline rock formations which exist in
many areas of the United States. The test is known as the Spent Fuel Test-
Climax and is being conducted 1,400 feet below the surface of the NTS in a
unique test facility that was constructed in a granitic host-rock formation.
Granite is a common crystalline rock.
A newly mined underground facility was developed for the Spent Fuel
Test—Climax next to existing facilities at the NTS which were previously
constructed for underground nuclear weapons effects studies. The existing
facilities provided access to a large granitic rock formation within the depth
range being considered for ultimate geologic disposal of high—level nuclear
wastes.
The test facility consists of three parallel drifts that are joined on
each end. The central canister storage drift contains the surface access hole
through which the canisters were lowered into the test facility. This drift
has 17 steel-cased storage holes: 11 contain spent fuel canisters and 6
contain electrically heated canisters that match the spent fuel canisters in
thermal characteristics. This mixed arrangement feature of the test is being
used to determine if radiation causes any significant synergistic effects
which might adversely affect the ability of the host rock to contain the
nuclear waste. The two outer drifts each contain ten electric heaters which
are being used to produce a thermal environment within the rock surrounding
the canister storage drift that simulates the center of a large repository.
This feature of the test is being used to provide data on how an underground
crystalline rock formation responds to the heat loads which may be encountered
in an actual high-level nuclear waste repository.

This is where the Spent Fuel Test-Climax is being conducted to evaluate the

feet below the surface of the Nevada Test Site.

The results of this test will be used to determine whether crystalline
rocks are technically acceptable as host-rock media for permanent nuclear
waste repositories and to develop models for calculating repository mine
design requirements. The NNWSI are also conducting the test to demonstrate
the technologic capability to safely transport and emplace highly radioactive
spent fuel canisters into a deep underground storage environment. This
includes the capability to continuously monitor and safely retrieve the
canisters at any time during the test.
The Spent Fuel Test—Climax was begun in April 1980 and is expected to
continue for several years. During the test, the host rock and experimental
canisters are being subjected to intensely radioactive, heat-producing nuclear
waste and electrically induced thermal fields. Heat production will initially
cause the rock and canister temperatures to rise slowly to a maximum level.
The rock and canister temperatures will then gradually decline as the radioactive
elements disintegrate. Disintegration will also cause the radiation to
gradually decrease in intensity throughout the test. The nuclear radiation
originating from within the spent fuel canisters is being absorbed within a
short distance by the rock immediately around the concrete-plugged, 24-inchdiameter
storage holes which were drilled 20 feet into the granite floor of
the central drift. A sophisticated data acquisition system is being used for
monitoring and recording the measurement data acquired from the heavily
instrumented test facility and its environs.
After the test is concluded, the spent fuel canisters will be retrieved
and returned to the E-MAD facility for post-test evaluation, temporary storage,
and disposition. The underground test facility will also undergo an extensive
post-test evaluation to supplement the nondestructive operational test data.
The test results will be documented and made available for public examination.

The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations are being managed by the
U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office, which is located in
Las Vegas, Nevada.
Technical reports on the nuclear waste management investigations and
experiments being conducted in Nevada are available in special open files at

Two cars were seriously

Charles. Flanders of B,M.

northbound car. He had
converted the 3,M,J?"Chevrolet
Sedan #122 into an
improvised ambulance to
transport Frank H. Wise and
son, Robert G. Wise, of
MacDonald Engineering Co,
to St. Marys Hospital in
Reno, lie. Wise was suffering
from a severe kidney

The driver of the souths
hound car was, Philip Byrnes
of Silver State Construct.. •

With Mr. Byrnes were two
unidentified passengers.
The automobiles were unable
to continue unde-r
their own power. Mr. Flanders
caught a ride back to
Camp with James Mclaughlin
of Macdoraids, obtained another
car and returned to
the scene of the wreck.

climate of understanding and full participation.
The Council, with the cooperation of
"Partners" who have joined in support—
mayors, governors, organizations, business
and labor, in addition to many concerned
citizens with and without disabilities-*-is
carrying out a grassroots effort to offer every
community in the nation an opportunity to
improve the lives of their citizens with
disabilities and help our country meet the UN
challenge successfully.
BEYOND THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR
Beyond the challenge of today, beyond the
International Year, life goes on. For many of
our citizens it will go on with a disabling
condition. The U.S. Council believes that the
partnerships formed now, the initiatives in
research and technology that are planned
today, will provide the foundation for "full
participation" in the decades ahead.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
As with any challenge, success depends
upon the resources and commitment of the
participants. So if you are a corporate
executive, an individual^ community leader,
an elected official or a representative of an
organization—whether you are a person with
a disability, or a person without, whether you
know a person with a disability or not—the
International Year of Disabled Persons is a
year for you to make a contribution. The
mission of the U.S. Council is stated in this
brochure. Use it as a guide, and in your most
creative fashion decide how you can best
participate. Every effort is big, and every one
counts.
Write or call the U.S. Council for more
information on what you can do.

the still unmet needs and potential contribution
of these 35 million people. The Council
will foster the partnership of Americans
from all walks of life in furthering the
following long-term national goals of and
for our citizens with disabilities:
• Expanded Educational Opportunity;
• Improved Access to Housing, Buildings
and Transportation;
• Greater Opportunity for Employment;
• Greater Participation in Recreational,
Social and Cultural Activities;
• Expanded and Strengthened Rehabilitation
Programs and Facilities;
• Purposeful Application of Biomedical

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
WASHINGTON
December 8, 1980
TEXT OF MESSAGE
FROM RONALD REAGAN
TO DAVID T. KEARNS, CHAIRMAN
U5. COUNCIL FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
YEAR OF DISABLED PERSONS
I am pleased to join you today in your call to
action for the International Year of Disabled Persons.
I am proud that during my tenure as Governor
of California, laws were passed which created significant
opportunities for the physically and mentally
disabled persons in employment, education,
health care and rehabilitation, and that executive
actions were undertaken to include the disabled
in the decision making process of government
agencies which provide services to the handicapped.
A great deal remains to be accomplished here
and around the world. I am confident that through
your efforts, the coming year will bring a new
sense of awareness by people throughout the
world of the needs, problems and human potential
of disabled individuals. I pledge to you my cooperation
in this worthy and essential undertaking.
THE CHALLENGE
We Americans are a unique people—
unique in our diversity and in our ability,
demonstrated time and again since 1776, to
set aside our differences in responding to
challenges.
Some Americans, especially those 35
million with physical or mental disabilities,
face special challenges each day as they seek
to achieve full participation in our society.
To move more slowly because of age, to
find our way by sounds and touch, to require
a kindness or a helping hand: these are not
uncommon conditions. What should be
uncommon in America is limited participation
because of these conditions, or our individual
differences.
Each of us will have some disability at some
time in our lives—an illness, injury or an
infirmity due to old age. For some it may be
temporary; for others it is life-long. It is more
difficult for some than for others; but,either
way it's not easy. All Americans with
disabilities are challenged—challenged to
live with their special disability, but with
equal rights, equal dignity and hope.
THE UNITED NATIONS RESOLVES
Today there is a new challenge . . . and a
hope. The United Nations General Assembly
has proclaimed 1981 as the International Year
of Disabled Persons, and has challenged each
nation to establish goals and programs aimed
at improving the lives of its citizens with
disabilities. The UN set "full participation" as
the theme of the Year, and encouraged each
country to observe the Year in a way suitable
to its social structure and its particular stage of
development.
AMERICA RESPONDS
Sparked by the collective thinking of many
concerned citizens, the U.S. Council was
formed as a nonprofit organization to promote
the UN observance. The Council cooperates
closely with the Federal Interagency Committee
for IYDP and with other public and
private agencies.
YEARS OF PROGRESS
The U.S. Council has set out to build on the
progress that has already occurred in the
areas of disability—progress that has
established America's leadership as a
defender of human rights and as a nation
advanced in biomedical research, accident
and disease prevention and technological
application. The Council alsowillbuiidonthe
progress many individuals and organizations
have made in helping persons with disabilities
help themselves.
In the past ten years, we have seen physical
barriers to persons with disabilites coming
down. Ramps are replacing stairs. Doorways
are widening. Sign language is more
apparent. New transportation systems are
giving persons with physical disabilities new
mobility. Employers are finding persons with
disabilites truly able and opportunities are
expanding. America's technological and
medical advances are improving the human
condition, while making life's barriers easier
to overcome.
But there is more to do. Much more. We
begin with being involved, learning more
about disabilities, how we can help and how
we can hurt.

WHO ARE THE LINKS???
The Links, Inc. is a charitable organization of
over 5000 women with 162 chapters located in
thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia.
It was founded by Mrs. Sarah S. Scott and
the late Mrs. Margaret R. Hawkins in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania on November 9, 1946. The
organization was born out of necessity facing
new concerns and mid-century imperatives in
human rights. For more than thirty years, the
organization has continuously redefined its
focus in order to make the name "Links" not
only a chain of friendship, but a chain of
purpose.
We serve as a "Link" to the community to promote
Educational, Civic and Inter cultural
activities. Nationally, Links, Inc. provides
enrichment experiences for talented youth who
are educationally disadvantaged and culturally
deprived as well as for the talented youth who
need aid. An example of our spirit of charity
continues with over $1,000,000.00 contributed
to the United Negro College Fund and the many
thousands contributed toward the Water Wells
in Africa along with support given to many
other organizations when the causes are geared
to civic achievement and voluntary public service.

Locally, an Art Exhibit was held in order to
expose the talents of some of our disadvantaged
youth within the Inner-City. Proceeds from Art
sales (a "Link" percentage) went toward the
purchase of Black History Books to be placed in
one of our School Libraries. Again, locally;
we sponsor a young lady, Vanessa Thomas, with a
full scholarship at Howard University where she
is a Pre-Med Student. Events such as this one
tonight, the Paul Balfour Concert at the Dunes,
the Bullocks' Affair with Fashion Show and the
Paul Collins' Women of Color Art Exhibit will
enable us to assist more young people with their
educational goals.
Our main focus is Service to Youth and with your
continued support, our horizons of service will
become full-circle.

Speak No Evil UPlfcto
Heavyweight challenger Ken Norton tries to keep champion Muhammad
Ali quiet by covering his face as he passes the champ en route to the
podium at the National Press Club luncheon they both attended Friday,
te two meet Sept. 28 in Yankee Stadium with the crown on the line.
NAACP To Benefit
From Title Fight
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Muhammad
Ali pledged Friday to donate
$100,000 of his purse from next
month's heavyweight title fight with
Ken Norton to help a leading black
civil rights organization in a multimillion
dollar damage suit brought by
a group of white Mississippi
merchants.
The champion made the announcement
at a National Press Club
lunch at which he and Norton —
mostly Ali — were speakers.
He said the money from his $6
million take from the Sept. 28 fight
would go to the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People
which lost a preliminary legal
battle when Mississippi Chancery
Court Judge George Haynes awarded
$1.25 million to 12 Fort Gibson businessmen.
They claimed damages on
grounds that a black boycott initiated
by the NAACP in 1966-67 was a
violation of state antitrust laws.
The lunch appearance of Ali and
Norton was a prelude to a closing
banquet of the World Boxing Association
convention at which Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger, Ali and six
former heavyweight titleholders
were guests of honor. On hand for the
dinner were Jack Dempsey, Joe
Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Floyd
Patterson, Joe Frazier and George
Foreman.
At the National Press Club, Norton
used about 90 seconds of the 10
minutes allotted for his speech to
predict "an interesting fight" at Yankee
Stadium. Ali used 40 minutes of
his 10 minutes to lecture seriously as
a Black Muslim on the lack of peace
and morality among men.
"We have the best of everything in
America and the lowest of morals,"
he told his listeners.
But Ali the showman surfaced
during an ensuing question-and-answer
period. Asked about a WBA
ruling that he must fight Foreman
within 90 days if he defeats Norton,
the champion crowed: "I'm not
going to fight him in 90 days. I'm the
champion and I'll fight him in 91.
They should make a public apology
for this...they're not going to give me
a deadline."
Ali commented that "if George
Foreman dreams he could beat me,
he should wake up and apologize,"
then continued nonstop:
"They could take my title off the
books and it wouldn't mean a damn
thing... All I need anyplace in the
world is a pair of boxing gloves and
an opponent named Joe Blow and I'll
draw a million dollar gate. What
counts is who puts the behinds in the
seats.
"I dare them to take my title. I'll
stop the boxing game. I'm the real $6
million man."
Ali didn't even pause to reflect
when the question was put, "Why are
you so humble?"
"It's hard to be humble when
you're as great as I am," he came
back and went on for several hundred
moife words.
At one point when Norton sought
to respond to a question, Ali persisted
in interrupting from the side
and the challenger finally got a word
in edgewise by sitting on Ali's lap
with the microphone in hand.
The cnampion was in fine verbal
form at a reception before the lunch.
On entering, Ali made a beeline for
the challenger sitting quietly with an
orange juice and for starters said:
"I'll never let a chump like you whip
me."
As Norton smiled, Ali declared
and some of his entourage took up
the chant: "I promise you you're
going to fall, you're going to fall,
you're going to fall."
When someone in the surroi
crowd showed signs of anger,
i n t e r j e c t e d : " K e e p c o o l , f o o l , w e t
building the gate."

Victory Is Promised..
BYRON J. FITZGERALD
In the solitude of this moment,
look not back over your shoulder.
Days gone, are simply gone,
yesterday's trials, are simply over.
In age, there is eternal youth,
the spirit grows wiser, but not older.
Keep your eyes, fixed on God's truth,
victory is promised, to His soldiers!
Dedication
This year the Society dedicates
the 1979 Black History Week Celebration
"Black Women: The Unsung Heroines"
to FRANCES WALKER ROSTON MILLER
San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society
Ms. Miller was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. She
attended public school in Shreveport and then went
to Southern University at Baton Rouge, graduating
in May 1919. She taught school in Shreveport and
Tulsa, Oklahoma. Ms. Miller is the mother of four
children, eleven grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren.
Over the years Ms. Miller has worked in business,
has travelled and has had extensive volunteer civic
endeavors.
In October of 1954, Ms. Miller was instrumental
in developing a San Francisco Chapter for the Study
of Negro Life and History at 1928 Page Street. In
1955, this Chapter for the Study of Negro Life and
History combined efforts with Mr. James Herndon,
Esquire, of the W.E.B. DuBois Club and established
the San Francisco Negro Historical and Cultural
Society. The Society's name was changed to the
San Francisco African-American Historical and
Cultural Society, Inc. in 1970.
"My only hope is that
throughout the years the Society
will stand out as a beacon light
for the generations coming on."
Compliments of Congressman John V, Burton and Congressman Phillip Burton

"As a painter, I do not view the brush, palette knife
and canvas as a camera. There is a magnificent mystery
in the universe, behind the recognizable and familiar
patterns. In the unseen background is the pulsing
of the energy released and forever coming from the
original "big bang." To hint on canvas of this energy,
to capture light and color and the myriad feelings
racing back and forth between people seems to be
my involvement.
"I have membership in the National Conference of
Artists and the Center of Visual Arts. I have been

The work of Marie Johnson reflects experiences
and perceptions of Afro-American society, through
her art, she expresses what it means to be a woman,
to be black, and to be an artist in a society such
as ours.
She creates life-size images of Black people in various
settings and situations. Her silhouetted and painted
wood figures, attired in discarded garments, are
life-like interpretations of people living through

anger, or loneliness, but also, and most
importantly, one of love and pride.

"As a painter of abstract paintings, I frequently
begin a canvas without 'preconception.' At some
point in its loose development, the canvas dictates
to me. I proceed under this influence until I 'sense'
that it is time to stop. In examining the finished
painting I feel curiosity, surprise, some admiration
and much wonder that I did it."

AAHCS Fact Sheet
January 18,1979
The African-American Historical and Cultural Society
Library serves as a research facility for students and
scholars of African or African-American history and
culture whether their need be personal or professional.
Requests for information come from throughout
the nation on a wide variety of themes such as accurate
information about Mary Ellen Pleasent (Chicago and
Vermont), a resource list on the history of Black women
in the West (Fullerton University), as well as innumerable
telephoned and in person requests from individuals,
church groups, youth groups, and curious individuals
in the Bay Area community.
The library is composed of over three thousand texts
on, by, or about Africans and African-Americans.
In addition it houses a large historical range of periodicals
including original Ebony, Crisis, and Freedomway
magazines, the Journal of Negro History from its 1916
first edition, and an information file filled with clippings
and illustrations on a cornucopia of Black subjects.
This non-lending library has grown based on donations
of books by generous patrons and is now trying to
fill in gaps in our collection through a directed acquisition
program. We are seeking to develop and/or
complete the collections of some of our literary giants
such as Paul Laurence Dunbar, Richard Wright, Langston
Hughes, Marcus Garvey, Kwame Nkrumah, and J.A.
Rodgers. If you would like to contribute books in any
of these areas, please contact the Society. You can be
sure that your gift will be used to enrich and inform
the community of our true history.
Children's Program
Black History Week
The Library staff of AAHCS assisted by a team of
docent volunteers led by Mrs. Willena Bady are providing
many Bay Area elementary school children with
a multi-media historical program. During Black History
Week and the week following, students will be told
stories about African-American achievers from the
past and present. They will be exposed to an a r t exhibit
that represents some of the manifestations of our
African and American heritages in a present-day context,
and they will be provided with a slide show of important
Black women in history.
Following the tour, teachers will be provided with
an activity sheet full of ideas and projects that will
keep the children aware that Black history is a yearround
happening and all people can be history makers.
Teachers and individual students will be encouraged
to return Black history a r t and creative writing projects
to the Society for showing in the Library during the
month of February. Any student or class responding
will receive a certificate of award for participation
in Black History Week. The AAHCS Library staff
hopes that children will complete the 1979 Black
History Week Program knowing that they can help to
determine the role they will play in the making of
history.

Stony the roaa we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat.
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;
We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past.
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way.;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Time,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand.
May we forever stand
True to our God, True to our native land.

AND ASSURE YOU THAT WE SHALL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO MAKE

DR. DRUE E. CULUMNS
FROM THE PRESIDENT Ui LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
On behalf of the Liberty High School Alumni Association,
the President is happy to extend greetings and a most cordial
welcome to all the graduates, former students, and teachers,
as well as the visiting friends of the school to this the
SECOND SCHOOL REUNION. Again, the officers, committees, and
members of the local organization join with me in expressing
our thanks and sincere appreciation to all who have assisted
us in any way to make this occasion most pleasant and enjoyable.
The committees have worked zealously and.untireingly
for your comforts and delight. They deserve your highest
commendation. All facets of the community interest in Mingo
County and Pike County have been unstintedly cooperative in
every detail. We owe all of them a debt of gratitude.
We extend greetings and welcome wholeheartedly all of you
who have come from distant places for having, perhaps, foregone
your vacation and taking the chances of hazardous
traveling conditions to be here with us in this area at this
time. We are anxious that the wholesome experience which you
will enjoy throughout our every activity and your entire stay
in the Williamson area will be adequately rewarding. It is our
desire that the highest plateau of decorum and dignity will be
in evidence at all times, so as to reflect commensurate reward
for the efforts and kindness of all who have helped to make
this occasion possible, and surely, the success that it will be
only, if we cooperate to this end. We wish to thank all of
those who have so loyally and graciously supported this undertaking
on the local level. You deserve the highest praise that
we can offer. Please accept my greetings, and thanks to all.
FOREWARD
Tempos fugit, time flys and marches on. Years pass, life
goes on and on. Although, time, tide, and distance have separated
many of the graduates, teachers, and former students
who were once connected with LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL, the "spirit"
remains intact and continues to grip, stimulate and motivate
as we face the issues of this day. The quest for fame and fortune
has carried not only the former students, but many of the
teachers, as well, to all areas of the states of this country,
and several foreign fields. Wherever any person, who was in,
any way, identified with "Dear Old Liberty", finds himself,or
herself, the LOVE of Liberty High School burns eternal in the
human breast. When memory reviews the busy scenes of by-gone
days spent at the school on the hill, blazing in the sun as a
beacon of light pointing the way to academic excellency, we
doff our hats wherever we are and pause for a moment of silent
reflection and meditation.
At the name of the school, LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL, we are overwhelmed
and stand in awe with nostalgia. We are constrained to
recall that it was during our life at Liberty High School, as a
student or teacher, that lasting impressions were made, which
have influenced our lives, no matter what course of action fate
has decreed for us. Many can recollect, and only a few fail to
remember, and appreciate the fact that whatever of achievement
and worthwhile accomplishment, or outstanding status in life
that we now enjoy; we owe, at least our humble beginning, to
what was offered at Liberty High School. It was Liberty High
that habits were formed and lessons learned that have given
color and direction and character to our many lives.
Again, therefore, it is little wonder that on occasions of
the school's reunions we meet;
1. To greet and revive, and enjoy the fellowship reminiscent
of the wholesome experiences that tend to bind kindred spirits
into one impregnable whole.
2. To re-live the experiences of the past as a basis of present
appreciation and future anticipation.
3. To pledge anew our allegiance and dedication to the memory
of an institution that is honored to claim us as its graduates,
former students, or teachers; and an institution that
honors us by its mantle of academic approbation; and,
4. To establish and maintain our participation in the total
program of an active, organized, fuctioning Alumni Association,
that will perpetuate the ideals of the school by a
lasting memorial, scholorships, or to take other appropriate
actions of a progressive nature.
To these ends, it is felt that we will address our thinking
and guide our deliberate action at this the SECOND SCHOOL REUNION
of Liberty High School. May the "Old Liberty" spirit guide
and direct us, in our every endeavor.

LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL
Volumes could be written after years of research, compilation,
and all that goes with a documented treatise that
tells the complete story of an educational agency with such
a colorful background as Liberty High School, Williamson, W.
Va. Because of limited time and the lack of adequate space
in this program, only a few of the highlights and salient
facets of the school's rich history are considered here. No
intent is made to include all the offerings and contributions,
or names of everybody who helped to make Liberty High School
what it was and what it meant to so many and still means to so
many throughout our land and the countries of the world. You
who read this will understand and appreciate the fact that
materials in this presentation are taken from what the writer
had submitted to him. Other information pretinent to the history
of Liberty High School can be included if it is presented
by those who have such in their possession-in mind or documenttation.
Even as early as 1923, if not before, many school men gave
serious thought to QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL THE PEOPLE. It was
out of this concept in 1923 DuBois High School, Williamson, W.
Va. was born. This was before the County Unit System of Schools
was inaugurated in the State of West Virginia. The school had
its beginning therefore, under the control of the Williamson
Independent District. E.F. Randolph, M. Persinger, and John
Strosnider were school board members for the City of Williamson
at that time, and a Mr. F.N. Hanifan was District Supervisor of
Schools. Wallace J. Williamson provided the land for the school
site. D.W. Hy1ton served as principal of the "Colored" elementary
school, out.of which the high school grew. Mr. Hylton, also, became
the first principal of the new high school. Among others
who were active in the beginning of the High School were Revs.A.J.
Smoots and L.A. Perkins, Doctors James M. Whittico and R.G. Warren
Lawyer Leon Miller, Francis Watts, E.S. Campbell, George Foy and
Allie Wright.
The Principals, other than Mr. Hylton, who served for DuBois
High School, were M.C. Lundeman, Theodore Randolph, and M.C.
Lunderman. In 1927, J.C. Sawyer became principal. It was during
the school year 1927-28 that the name of the school was changed
(because of conflicts with Dubois High School of Mt. Hope, W.Va.)
to Liberty High School. Carl T. Hairston, who succeeded Sawyers
as principal, suggested the name. Mr. Sawyers was the principal
1927-1936. Carl T. Hairston, 1936-1945., Drue E. Culumns, 1945-
1957, and H.T. Joyce, 1957-1966 were the principals until Liberty
High School was absorbed by Williamson High School and the other
high schools throughout Mingo County.
(Continued on next page)
Liberty High School maintained at all times a faculty of
competent teachers, among whom can be named, Miss Bruce,Toney,
Broome, Long, Hambrick, and Glover, English Teachers, Dunlap,
Culumns, Acker, Belcher, Hairston, Primm, Toney, Lomax, and
Austin, Math and Science; Joyce, Abington, Towles, Martin,Social
Subjects; Music, Broome, Sessom, Hogan, Reed, Hagood, and Dexter,
Hairston, P.Clarke, V.Clarke, Ford and Starling, Home Economics.
The graduates of the school can be adjudged successful graduates
are: Dan Ackers, Chemist, Carl Starling, Electronics, Billy Whittico
and Jeff Towles, Medicine, Robert Strother, Ophellius McCoy,
and Louis Jones, Ministers, Dan Palmer, Ed Starling and Raymond
Reed, Athletics, Coletta Warren, Music, and a number of outstanding
classroom teachers.
From its very beginning, Liberty High School excelled in .athletics.

football team was in the play-off game for the state championship.
In 1966, the basketball team was in the finals of the "A" division
The basketball team was runner-up in the Regional in 1931 & 1938.
Several teams went to the semi-finals in the state tournament. The
Junior High team won the County Tournament in 1962.
State recognitions and awards were won in the areas of Dramatic
Oratory, and High-Y competition. The Liberty Hi-Lite, the school
paper named by T.Dexter was the news organ for the school.
The offerings in courses of study and co-curriculum activities
compared with the best in the state, among the smaller schools-of
maximum enrollment of 350. The smallest class to graduate was 1928
four in number, and the largest class was 1954, with fifty boys
and girls equally divided. Liberty High School was among the first
if not the first, to offer such courses of study as Consumer Education
and Race Relations. The annual "Senior Play": The Athletic
Banquet; and the colorful Homecomming were outstanding events that
received wide publicity and commendation. The "Class" Basketball
tournament was always competative and wholesomely enjoyed by all
except the losers.
Throughout the life of the school the basic concepts were the
worth of the individual, each individual is unique; learning takes
place when there is a reconstruction of experiences that can be
used in further experiences; each individual develops and reacts
as a whole; and should develop to his highest possible potential
that he can make his greatest contributions to our democratic
social order. To these ends the teachers, students, and community
addressed themselves at all times. These guilding ideas created
"The Old Liberty Spirit" that has lasted from year to year in the
hearts of those who loved "Liberty" dear.

J. DOUGLAS COMER
LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING
Lift ev'ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list-'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over away that with tears has been watered
We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us for-ev-er in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we £or-get Thee;
Shadowed be-neath Thy hand,
May we for-ev-er stand,
True to our God, True to our Native land.
