hypertension
iTypertension is currently recognized as one of the most important risk factors in the occurrence of coronary heart disease. At a Medical Horizons symposium for physicians on management of hypertension, there was general agreement that early treatment is important, and that the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and death increases when the condition is -not controlled. By reducing blood pressure, antihypertensive drugs prolong life and arrest vascular damage. • The symposium was sponsored by The Milton S.Hershey Medical Center of The Pennsylvania State University and CIBA Pharmaceutical Company. The symposium’s moderator, Irvine H. Page, M. D., urged further research on hypertension, the need for which, he said was never greater.

being the executive director, producer, director, teacher, maintenance man, painter, and sometimes an actor. In short, his interest includes the “whole thing.’ As a minister, Rev. Laderson’s responsibilities consists of pastoral calling, teacher, community.leader, speaker and counselor. With this background in drama, the eastsider clergyman naturallists “daydreaming” as his hobby. He strongly believes in “the brotherhood of all men.” His three main elements in life are drama, religion, and dealing with others. Rev. -Laderson feels; “I firmly believe in the philosophy of John Dewey who said: ‘You learn by doing.’ I feel like too much emphasis is being placed on college degrees. It would be wise for young people to use what they have in their hands. God gave every man a gift of some kind ' -and it should be used for the betterment of mankind. I also agree with the philosophy of the late Dr. Horace Mann who said; „ ‘Be asham°d to die until you have done something for humanity.” The 44^year-old ministeractor attended Southern Christian Institute in Edwards, Miss.; Butler University, Christian Theological Seminary, and Brite University, Fort Worth, Tex. He amusingly relates: “I have just recently received mv P.H.D. from the school of hard knocks.’ Rev. Laderson has been involved in community drama for over 21 years starting in Second Christian Church mainly with The Laderson Family and others who wanted to participate. Later moving to the Northwestern Community Center and other centers and homes, a group called The New World Players was founded. For many years, this group did various kinds of variety shows and plays. He was called to pastor AnnieStreetChristian Church, Fort Worth, Tex. While there he had the opportunity to organize a drama group called “The Soul Players’ until he resigned because the people were not ready for his kind of ministry. On arrival in Indianapolis, Rev. Laderson immediately organized a group called “The Laderson Players” and “A Raisin in the Sun.” He was fired off the job because of “A Raisin In The Sun.” A position was created for Rev. Laderson at Christamore House on Tremont, where he became deeply involved with the arts in all phases. For four years he worked with youth and adults as a drama director, part time social worker, and janitor. While at Christamore House, he was called to the Hillside Christiah Church as pastor. The first Sunday he had eight people with no money in the treasury. With a combination of drama and religion, Hillside . has become a great institution in the city. “I am grateful to those who had faith in me and helped me come this far,” Rev. Laderson stated. Rev. Laderson’s family consist of his wife, Mildred; two sons, two daughters, and two grandchildren. JOHN CURUN Mr. John Curlln, 71, 1505 Minocqua, died Feb. 9 in General Hospital.

Cite advances in equal emnloyment opportunity
WASHINGTON — The Federal government has made great strides inadvanclng equal employment opportunity for minorities and females “through increasingly aggressive enforcement’ of laws prohibiting discrimination, a top Federal EEO officer said here recently. Speaking before the Phi Beta Sigma Social Fraternity, Philip J. Davis, Director of the Office of FederalContractCompliance (OFCC), stated that in recent years, compliance activities have moved from “window' dressing” to a “systematic effort to secure the rightful place for all minorities and females” in employment. Davis cited two recent Labor Department cases as evidence “that we are indeed making progress’ in eradicating discrimination in employment. The first, he said, is an administrative decision issued by former Secretary of Labor, James D! Hodgson, ordering Bethlehem Steel Comnany to initiate a ‘ comprehensive remedial action program’ to correct a discriminatory seniority system at its Sparrows against thousands of black employees who were assigned to departments and jobs with limited advancement opportunities. Under the decision, “Bethlehem is required to permit all blacks placed before 1968 into • less desirable jobs. . .totransfer to departments in which blacks have been underutilized without cost,’ Davis explained. Should Bethlehem fail to take the necessary remedial action, it could lose all government contracts and subcontracts under the provisions of Executive Order 11246 which prohibits discrimi natory employment practices by Federal contractors.
The second case Davis cited is the recent signing of a “ monumental” agreement by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (the country’s largest private employer), its 24 operating companies, the OFCC and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which represents the largest equal employment opportunity settlement in the Nation’s history.’ The agreement affords 13,000 women and 2,000 minority men the opportunity to transfer to better jobs and “compensates them for loses of past earnings in the amount of $15 million.’ Davis predicted this historic settlement, which resulted from Intensive negotiations with AT&T after OFCC assumed jurisdiction over the company last September, will “serve as a model for OFCC’s future endeavors with major industry.” In describing other advances in the area of equal opportunity, the OFCC director noted that in March 1972 the EEOC w as granted the power to “bring law suits in behalf of complainants.” This, he explained, represents “a major step forward” in the enforcement of laws prohibiting discriminatory employment practices. In his closing remarks, Davis promised the Office of Federal Contract Compliance “will be the governmental agency that American industry will respect and reckon with when it completes for the Federal dollar through contractual services.” Following his speech, Davis was presented with a check in' his name to the United Negro College Fund by chapter president, Joseph S. Battle. Davis had requested that in lieu of an honorarium - a contribution be made to the fund.
