cans, according to Dr. George Branche of the Harlem Hospital Center. The problem is not indigenous to New York alone, Dr. Branche told attendees at the National Conference on High Blood Pressure Control. He said about one-third of blacks living in inner cities throughout the U.S. suffer from high blood pressure. The three-day conference attracted more than 800 educators, health administrators, members of the medical and nursing professions, citizen’s groups and labor organizations, economists, clinicians and public health experts from throughout the country to discuss progress and controversies in high blood pressure control. “One problem peculiar to the inner city is that the incidence of high blood pressure is higher there-and this holds for whites as well as blacks,” the physician said. “The inner city is certainly a more stressful place to live. At least I believe that. Now whether this causes the in-a creased incidence of hypertension is another question being looked at,” Dr. Branche said. “Innovative detection and treatment programs are needed to help inner city blacks control their high blood pressure. Experience at the Harlem Hospital Center shows that carefully trained nurse therapists have a high success rate in detecting the disease and in educating people about the need for getting help and staying on treatment,” he said. In most cases. Dr. Branche explained, high blood pressure shows no symptoms until too late, when it results in heart attack, stroke or kidney disease. “Nurse therapists and other health aides can do this work very well, and they often do it better than physicians because they have the time to spend with individuals, explaining the dangers and the importance of

getting the right treatment. “In addition to these specially trained nurse therapists, the Center added evening and Saturday hours for the convenience of the patients, and had a pharmacist on hand for drug dispensing during part of the program. Inner city residents are very m<Aile within their neighborhoods, and we lack adequate facilities, physicians and other personnel. “It’s very difficult to motivate people to go out of their way and use up their time waiting sometime for hours to check up on a potential disease, when they feel just fine, when they don’t have pain or other symptoms,” he said. MRS. MAGGIE SIMPSON Memorial services for Mrs. Maggie M. Simpson, 68, 1022 W. 31st, were conducted last Saturday in Summers Northeast Funeral Chapel. Mrs. Simpson died April 12 in Wishard Memorial Hospital.* She was a member of Pride Valley Baptist Church in Mississippi and Barighter Life Baptist Church in Indianapolis. A native of Flora, Mississippi, Mrs. Simpson moved to Indianapolis 11 years ago.

Bell in Action concert to aid King fund Members of Bell In Action are busy finalizing plans for a Gospel Concert on May 6. The concert proceeds will go the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Fund. The concert idea and theme, “The Continuance of the Dream”, has been chosen to help provide financial aid for a disadvantaged Marion County student in achieving higher education. The program makes use of much local talent and promises to be inspiring with such groups as Wayne Stevens and the Gospel Sounds of Unity, The Metro Male Ensemble, Echos of Joy, The Everett Stockton Singers, Nettie Lester and the Interfaith Choir, and Robert Turner and the Silver Hearts. The Gospel Concert will be held May 6 at Phillips Temple C.M.E. Church on 1226 N. West at 7:00 pm. The admission donation is $3.00. Tickets may be purchased from all 3 locations of Discount Sounds, Cash Bargain Center, and members of Bell In Action. The success of sending a disadvantaged student to school largely depends on the united efforts of our community in regard to this concert. Deputy Mayor Joe Slash will be the speaker at this important affair. We hope that the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship can be given each year. Start making plans to attend. Bell In Action is a charitable organization comprised of Indiana Bell and other Bell System employees.

For years and years I have heard people say: “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.’’ I sadly confess that those words reflect the attitudes of too many Black Americans. An individual is “Right on” as long as he is praising Black folks, but woe unto him who dares to chastise, or point out weaknesses that Black people can improve upon. The name-callers quickly appear and start yapping “Tom,” “Handkerchief Head,” and “Oreo.” I remind the shouters that we, as a race, are doomed to second-class status as long as we refuse to admit that we are not perfect. I am the first to admit that Black Americans have made enormous social and economic progress during the past three decades, but we cannot afford the luxury of living on our victories of yesterday. Look about you and you’ll notice that the forward progress of Black Americans has been on a plateau. If we are not careful, we will begin to move backward rather than forward. Know who the enemies are; it is not me or any other Black executive who responds negatively to your proposals; it is not the Black person who dares to remind you that Black and proud is more than a slogan; no, our real enemies are Black-on-Black crime, high unemployment, slum living, unequal education opportunities, underemployment, and unequal justice. Think about it and decide where your time and efforts should be spent. Joe'Bhck Vice President The Greyhound Corporation
