The story of NEMSC 70001

NEMSC 70001 offers many dimensions for meeting the growth and motivational needs of Indianapolis youth. The main components of the program provide job readiness training and placement, peer support, counseling and motivation along with alternative education. Through an intensive program aimed at helping the “associates” help themselves, NEMSC 70001 is bringing to

the Indiana community a new hope for high school dropouts. Additionally, employers affiliated with 70001 consider themselves as much beneficiaries of the program as the drop-outs they hire. NEMSC 70001 is a signigicant and exciting venture created to impact the critical problem of unemployment among our youth and to open the door to the full potential of the youth them selves.

70001 Ltd. was born in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1969. concerned with both the economic and social problems caused by out-of-school youth, the Thom McAn Company asked the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) for help. The goal was to provide an avenue by which those youth could receive immediate employment along with the on-the.job training, education, personal motivation and self-confidence necessary to enter and advance in the field of marketing and distribu-

tion.

The program proved to be a remarkable success. During the first three years, 71 percent stayed on the job for a year or more. The magnitude of the program has now spread to 18 states and 34 sites, with NEMSC 70001 being the 34th. NEMSC 70001 is having its first Open House on Thursday, June 8, 2:30 to 5 p.m. This multi dimensional youth employment program is part of the Near Eastside Multi-Service Center, Inc. Honored guests will include Mayor William Hudnut, Deputy Mayor Joseph Slash, and officials from the national 70001 office. The facility which is located at 1732 E. Tenth Street houses G.E.D.

Grove Street, got together Saturday evening, June 3, to attempe to organize a tenant union to correct adverse conditions that exist at the apartment complex. Both, blacks and whites, who live in Roberts Park Apartments had the opportunity to speak out about the problems that they are having. One of the main topics of discussion was the lack of cooperation from the management. According to many tenants some of the problems they are facing include lack of maintenance; no security; no heat in the winter; air-conditioners not working in the summer; broken mailboxes, toilets, and appliances; laundry-room flooded with human waste that leaves a unpleasant odor over one entire building; and a lack of space for kids to play. Tenants say dispite their problems, the rent continues to

rise.

The current management company runs Park Harrison Apartments near Fort Harrison on Post Road. It is identical to Roberta Park, however, it is spotless and very clean according to many tenants. Miss Betty Jones and Al Austin who spear-headed the movement, and also residents of Roberta Park said, “everyone at Roberta Park has a problem one way or the other.” Gary Peterson of the Indiana Housing Coalition was also on hand at the meeting, he told tenants what could be done legally about the complexthings like a rent strike and where the tenants would put

Black babies’ hearts beat faster By GAIL MCCLARY ATLANTAThe rapid heartbeat that is predominate in black babies may offer one clue as to why black people in general suffer from high blood pressure, according to Doctor Joseph Schacter. Schacter, a research associate professor of phychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, stated in an article in “Science Digest,” that in a study of over 200 newborn babies, black babies average pulse rates of 114 per minute while white babies average 106 beats. During the six months following his initial examination, Schacter rechecked the pulse rates of 70 percent of these children and found that the pattern remained the same. These findings, he says, are significant because previous research into hypertension has shown that young adults of both races who have rapid heartbeats at birth are proned to high blood pressure by the time they reach adolescence. Faster than average heartbeats are usually systematic of people who suffer from hypertension, he says. IRVIN L. KELLY Irvin L. Kelly, 60, 2533 N. Sangster, was eulogized during services held last Thursday in Willis Mortuary, with burial following in New Crown Cemetery. Mr. Kelly, born in Lexington, Ky., died May 26 in Wishard Hospital. He lived here 47 years. Survivors wife, Reba; daughters, Ms. Delores Leachman and Thelma Kelly; stepdaughters, Sabrina and Chante Sutton; stepson, Keith Sutton; and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith of Lexington.
