After attending the 38th National Boule of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority and the affiliate club, Philos, in Oklahoma City, we can sincerely say it’s good to be home again!. The hospitality was great. They really spread the red carpet for us. There was free bus service for us to show parts of the city and to some of the larger shopping centers--most convenient and most enjoyable. Oklahoma City is under construction, but even so it’s still beautiful. A musical, “And You Thought All We Could Do Was Dance,” was staged especially for our entertainment. The bus tours and transportation were courtesy of Oklahoma City Sigmas. Mayor Patience Latting was there to personally welcome us, and the magnificent State Capitol was setting for a reception with Governor George Nigh. State Senator E. Melvin Porter welcomed us the night Mrs. Coretta Scott King was keynote speaker. Oklahoma is definitely OK! A sight to behold was The Underground Tunnel. All sorts of stores, shops, flower shops, gift shops etc. And the fascinating part was going down to one point and coming out on your desired street several blocks away Fantastic! * • • This year The Philos were nationally organized for the very first time. We’ve been organized locally and regionally for some time, so now it’s national. It’s a great group and we’re bursting with pride to be friends of the Sigmas. The regular Philo monthly meeting was hosted by Philo Faira Pruitt the past Saturday. Sopors Helen T. Pruitt and Mosezella Gentry are our advisors.

NORELCO BLACK PRO

“In a study conducted at a leading black university, black men suffering from razor bumps tested the Norelco Black Pro Rotary Razor in daily shaving. In almost every case, black, men were able to shave regularly with th$ Black Pro without creating razor bumps, and a majority found that the Black Pro actually reduced or eliminated razor bumps entirely-” - A leading Professor of Dermatology at a leading black university. * * * NEW YORK--. That’s right. The king of electric razors has developed a revolutionary razor exclusively for black men, and it will mean bye bye black beard lumps and bumps. There are 6,984,000 black men over 18 in the United States and those who shave are often plagued by pseudofolliculitis barbae-simply put, razor bumps. Tjiis is a painful, scar-causing skin disease caused when sharp tips of recently shaved hair curl back and penetrate the skin, thereby creating infectious lumps or

bumps. The new Norelco Black Pro Tripleheader Razor has an exclusive Razor Bump Brush coving its head-custom engineered for the black man’s shaving problems. The Bump Brush is made up of hundreds of tiny hair raising loops designed to brush whiskers up and lift curly hairs out of ingrown pockets. As the razor is glided over the skin, the loops catch the hair and raise it up so the blades can shave it off. Therefore hairs are shaved off regularly, and .do not get long enough to grow back into the skin. The independent research at a leading black university has provided proven results that the Norelco Black Pro with its unique Bump Brush Head actually improved over-all skin problems with oyer 80 per cent of the shaving participants. Regular twin blades cannot do this. They may shave off some of the curly hair, but often cause the razor bumps to worsen. This is the first electric razor designed for the black man with a “built-in” feature to raise the

curly hair and pull it out from the ingrown pocket. Furthermore, the Norelco Black Pro features specially designed cutters and combs that shave at, but not belqw skin level, also preventing the occurence, of razor bumps. Shaving every day with the Norelco Black Pro assures that, the beard .stubble does not get too long. Black Pro also has: • Easy-clean shaving head assembly with three floating heads. •36 self-sharpening surgical steel blades. •Easy pop-out sideburn and moustache trimmer. ?ress button to open shaving head assembly for cleaning. On/off switch.. €>ual voltage selector. Cleaning brush. Coil cord. “Norelco .razors have been providing men with close, comfortable shaves since 1948 when the first single-headed rotary was introduced. Now we are pleased to offer black men our

famous tripleheader shaving method teamed with a way to eliminate and .ease their severest shaving problem. We are confident Black Pro will make millions of black men happy from now on,” said Rob Moes, group manager. Razor and Beauty Care Division. SOME FACTS ABOUT BLACK MAN RAZOR BUMPS •More than 50 per cent of all Afro-American males suffer from the disease. Few Caucasians experience it. The recommended cure is to grow a beard. •The disease first, became a public issue during the Vietnam War when black soldiers complained about it. • Often, the more victims shave, -the worse their skin becomes. Continued , shaving can bring on disfiguring scar tissue that never heals. 45ome victims of razor bump even find it painful to put their faces on pillows.. Instead of growing a beard, some sufferers use depilatories. But the result is raw, tender skin.
