Grassroots groups urge national, employer-paid
health care system for every American citizen
By William Egyir
A national grassroots campaign
has been launched in support of
national universal health care leg-
islation that promises health in-
surance to every American and
requires employers to pay the bulk
of the cost.
The 14 national African Ameri-
can organizations thatintiated the
drive may now have to direct their
energies at the Senate Finance
Committee, which is still working
on its version of the bill and solidly
rejects the idea of putting a fur-
ther burden on employers. The
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee with a slim margin approved
the bill with the employer require-
ments last week. Not one Repub-
lican voted for the measure.
In a letter to House Majority
Leader George J. Mitchell, the
group, which calls itself oAfrican-
Americans Mobilize for Universal
Coverage & Universal Access in
Health Care Reform, ? said, oWe
write to urge your support for the
Health Security Act as reported by
the Senate Labor and Human Re-
sources Committee on Thursday,
June 9, 1994.
oWe represent a broad cross sec-
tion of African-Americans and Af-
rican-American health institutions
from across the nation. Our con-
stituents include health care con-
sumers and health care profes-
sionals. Although many of ourcon-
stituents consider a single payer
health care system to be the most
effective way to create universal
access to health care services, we
believe that a bill that promises
universal coverage with an em-
ployer mandate is the next best
alternative.
oIt is indisputable that passage

of meaningful health care reform
legislation is a matter of life and
death for all Americans and this is
especially true for African-Ameri-
cans, who are in worse health and
more likely to die from prevent-
able disease than others. ?
The House bill, passed by a 28-
20 vote without the support of a
single Republican, was highly
praised by President Clinton.
oThis bill, I think will answer
what Americans have been asking
for for along time, ? enthused the
President in a call to beaming
Representative Sam Gibbons of
Florida. He said the bill would
oguarantee access to the health
care system, the kind that can Tt be
cancelled or be taken away from
them, and the one they can Tt get in
their customary way, through the
employer. ?
Astatement by Rep. John Lewis
(D-Ga), acivil rights advocate, said
oThis legislation will prevent costs
from raising faster than the eco-
nomicgrowth and will provide gen-
erous basic benefits including pre-
ventive health screenings. Theleg-
islation also allows states to de-
sign their own health care plans
and permits voluntary health alli-
ances that give communities the
tools to encourage market compe-
tition. ?
Added Lewis, oThe House Ways
and Means Committee has done a
tremendous job in creating a plan
that addresses fundamental con-
cerns. It is up to Congress to
conyp!ete this awesome task. ?
However, congressional observ-
ers said this week that as the mea-
sure moves close to the floor for
general House vote, Congress is
becoming more partisan on the
issue. Led by Senator Bob Dole of
Kansas, the Republicans complain
of being shut out of the process,
their ideas not given serious con-
sideration. But Senate Majority
Leader Richard Gephart of Mis-

On Friday June 10, 1994, par-

Somebody ought to
say something
Now that Sheriff Vandiford. is
secure in the newly re-elected
office of eherist of Pitt County, the
African-Americ munity feels
ae ae,
that it is time for him to stop the
oblood letting in his random firing
of competent staff. ?
Reliable sources in the Sheriff's
Department lament that morale is
at an all-time low. In fact, accord-
ing to those sources, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, stated that
independent judgement and fore-
thought, both of which are needed
to perform efficiently, are grounds
for dismissal in this new oGestapo ?
ran department. Both white and "
black officers secretly complain "
that Vandiford has created such a
presence of fear thatitis becoming "
more and more an intolerable "

Sheriff ceases and desists so that "
the officers can get back to the job _

minute they Tre ready to work with
us to provide guaranteed health
care for every American, we will
welcome them with open arms. ?
Meanwhile, the 20,000-member
Black National Medical Assccia-
tion, one of the Black grassroots
groups fighting for universal cov-
erage, said that when the organi-
zation meets at its annual conven-
tion in Orlando, Fla. from July 23
to 28, owe will discuss and take
action on health care reform anda
wide range of critical issues affect-
ing the African-American commu-
nity. ?
Said the group in a press re-
lease, oWith the debate in the U.S.
Congress on the various health
care reform legislative proposals
and discussions and debate in the
medical community over the im-
pact of managed care, this year Ts
NMA annual convention will be
one of the most issue-oriented and
crucial in decision making in the
99-year history of the associa-
tion. ?
Dr. Benjamin Chavis, NAACP
executive director, said that any-
thing less than universal health
care coverage would be inadequate
to address the pressing health
needs of all Americans.
Echoing the demands of mem-
bers of the 14 member signatories
to the grassroots effort, the NAACP
director said his organization en-
dorses a reform package sponsored
by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-
Mass.) in the Committee on Labor
and Human Resources that would
provide universal coverage
through an employer mandate,
including protection for small em-
ployers. The Kennedy bill would
also provide acomprehensive ben-
efit package, including important
preventive care, mental health
and substance abuse treatment.

Clinton conference on Africa ignored CBC
By Dr. Lenora Fulani
President Bill Clinton appears
to go our of his way to, disrespect
the African American Community.
After a year and a half of ignor-
ing Africa - from the brutal dicta-
torship in Zaire to the genocide in
Rwanda - the Clinton Administra-
tion hastily called a two-day con-
ference on Africa on June 26 - 27,
without consulting at all with the
Congressional Black Caucus.
oI don Tt think there has been a
focus on Africa ever in any Admin-
istration, including this one, ? Con-
gressman Donald Payne of New
Jersey, a member of the Africa
Subcommittee of the House of For-
eign Affairs Committee and the
chief foreign policy spokesperson
for the Congressional Black Cau-
cus, told the New York Times . oI
have no idea what the focus of the
conference is or what its intended
goals are. ?
Since he was not invited to par-
ticipate in the conceptualization
and planning of the conference,
Congressman Payne, like most
members of the Congressional
Black Caucus, did not attend. The
Clinton administration apparently
doesn Tt think that the views of
people of African descent in this
country need be taken into account
in shaping U. S. policy toward Af-
rica.
One clear example is the
administration Ts policy toward
Ziare. There is growing support
within the African American com-
munity for the democracy move-
ment led by Etienne Tshisekedi.
The Clinton administration, on the
other hand, has been, in effect,
doing what it can behind thescenes
to support the 27-year-old CIA-
installed dictatorship of Mobutu
Sese Seko, which has left the coun-
try brutalized and in a state of
economic and social collapse.
On June 16, the State Depart-
ment released a statement otak-
ing note ? of the June 14 oelection ?
of anew prime minister, Kengo wa
Dondo, by Zaire Ts High Council of
the Republic. The statement re-
fers to Kengo as coming ofrom the
opposition, ? andexpresses the hope
that his election will lead to a ocred-
ible governmentof national unity, ?
thereby implying that the admin-
istration considers his election le-
gitimate.
The statement is misleading on
two counts. First, Kengo is not
ofrom the opposition. ? He was
Mobutu Ts prime minister in the
days before the Sovereign Confer-
ence - the current government,
which is attempting, despite
Mobutu Ts ongoing sabotage, tolead
the nation Ts transition to democ-
racy - was created. Kengo has
emerged asa favorite of the Clinton
administration and international
financial institutions, but the
Zairian people haven Tt forgotten
him as the ruthless persecutor of
the political opposition under the
Mobutu dictatorship.Moreover,
Kenjo was cited by the Sovereign
Conference as having used his
public office to divert state prop-
erty into his own pocket.
Secondly, the June 14, election
in the High Council of the Repub-
lic was illegal because it violated
the Transitional Constitution, the
oProtocol d TAccord ? and other docu-
ments governing the transition to
democracy which were recently
signed by Mobutu and the demo-
craticopposition forces in the pres-
ence of the United States and its
allies. Article 78 of the Transi-
tional Constitution requires that
the prime minister be designated
by the opposition. The opposition
met in accordance with the law
and elected the democracy leader
Tshiekedi as prime minister with
89% of the vote.
Mobutu has refused to honor his
agreements, and through his stack-
ing of the High Council, orches-
trated the June 14 oelection ? in
which Kengo, his crony, chosen.
The Clinton administration can-
not hope to avert political anarchy
in Zaire - or the rest of Africa - if it
continues to ignore the democratic
will of the people of Africa and the
prodemocracy views of the African
American people and our repre-
sentatives in Congress. We must
urge the Clinton administration
to stop playing politics with Afri-
can lives. We must urge him to

Let Ts take a lesson from ants.
oAnts pull together ?. Ants also
share burdens that are too large
for anyone to carry.
Most churches face the problems
of havinga few leaders anda hand-
ful of people do most of the work
necessary to keep a congregation
thriving. The more people who
can become involved in a church
program, the more successful it is
likely to be.
Are we guilty of doing more than
we need to do because we don Tt
want to share responsibility? Af-
ter all, oIt Ts my job. ?
Jethro, father-in-law of Mosses,
suggested that Mosesselect able
men who feared God, recognizing
their accountability to Him in deal-
ing with the Israelites.
What steps can a church take to
overcome the lack of leadership?
Here are some suggestions:

3. The people must be trained.
Many would be willing to serve if
they knew what to do. A congrega-
tion ought to have regular educa-
tional programs that not only
teach the Bible but also prepare
its members to be teachers, youth
leaders, deacons, elders, and other
types of leaders needed by every
church.
4. Care must be taken not to
overwork the leaders.
5. Current methods and pro-
grams should be analyzed. It may
help to have a person from the
outside take a look at the pro-
grams we have in our local church.
We must have the humility to lis-
ten and the willingness to change.
There is a need for mentors and
the need for qualified leaders. Why
doesn Tt the church have more and
better leaders? Who was or is the
mentor in your life? How can you

Glaucoma is an eye disorder
that occurs when too much fluid is
trapped inside the eye, causing a

the fluid can build to such a level
that it can damage the optic nerve
and cause partial or complete loss
of vision.

These pastors are also father of
these great churches and they all
had their own children. God Bless
their families we do hope you are
caring the flame that your father
and husband had lit so that your
travel down these highways and
hedges would not be hard for you
as it was for them.
God bless and keep you. Now
that good gossip.
Before I close today I would like
to tell you something that I con-
sider good gossip.
There was a man born 55 years
ago on August 13th 1929. He was
raised in very small community
without much money or educa-
tion.
You see he had to quit school
when he was 12 years old to help
his mother and father out with
bills around the home. This man
had some very unique talents,
eventhough he did not get any
farther than 4th grade. His educa-
tion was well beyond than what
people consider a 4th grade educa-
tion. He could do math on 12th
grade level. He was skilled in elec-
trical work, carpentry work, and
thousands of other talents.
He went to work on his own to
help his family at the age of 12.
Eight years later he met a beauti-
ful young girl and they fell in love
with each other. One year later he
asked her to marry him. The young
couple had 6 children, and he still
continued to work at the local fac-
tory to help his parents.
I really consider this man a great
father and role model because their
not very many African American
that would quit school and try to
support their families.
But this man did and he work for
42 years before he passed in 1983,
he was a good husband and a very
good Dad and Granddad, Uncle,
Brother in-law, son.
He did what most Black African
American, men should be doing
now. If more were like him it would
make the word Role Model lot
easier to define.
Yes, this man may have quit
school, but he made sure that his
children and grandchildren got a
very good education. He never told
anyone ono ? when they asked him
ye eos A alien Got oo cee Let aS etek Me Ney «en ta Se ro eg cme ane
for help. He loved all children and
all people.
He was truly our role model
and a great father. This man I
speak is my Dad. Mr. Samuel
Murray Jr. better known as
(Bamm). God bless you dad may
you rest in peace you was truly a
great father. Love you and miss
you, Delores, Lawerence, Bryant,
Vincent, Your Living Children,
deceased Children Chester Sr.,
Jacquline.
Before I close this Good Gossip
for this time Let me remind our
Black African Men today.
When you feel you have come to
the end of your rope and it seems
the world of Haterisum is fallen on
you and you have family that de-
pends on you and others that look
up too you, just read this in the
Holy Bible (John 3:16) and you
will find out that you are only a
small piece of leather that will fall,
not break, so please believe that.
Hang in there Black men, you are
strong and don Tt let no one turn
you around or let no one tell you
that you are junk because you are
not junk. God did not make Junk,
we just let it exist. God bless you
and keep you. And always remem-
ber if you read it here, do tell
somebody because I Tm not one to
The good gossip tip for the
week.
Do not ask the devil to get be-
hind you because if you tell him to
get behind you, you still will be in
trouble because he Ts still pulling
you back. Tell that snake head
devil beside you that he can Tt pull
you back. Beat him running and
he will be brushing that dirt off
when he meets you at the end of
the race track.
Make sure to tell someone that
you read it here because I Tm not
the one to gossip.
God Bless.

workplace and in college? How can
we prepare our young people for
the ~offices, labs and factories of
heabdotelepdiicioctan
math. Teach our youngsters how
to use those skills, and how to
apply them in the real world of
work,
I attended all but one of the
Commission Ts hearings, and I
heard story after story illustrat-
ing that North Carolina Ts students
are not coming out of school
equipped to face the challenges of
work.
We must expect a lot more from
all students. All students must
reach r standards if they are
going to be successful in college or
in the pe,
Our schools must offer more rig-
orous academic curriculum " es-
pecially in the basic core subjects
such as English, math, science,
and language arts. And the schools
must offer incentives for effort and
achievement.
Based on its hearings and a year
of intensive research, the Com-
mission has come up with 10 basic
skills that it believes students must
know and be able to apply in order
to graduate from high school.
These are real-life skills " like
reading, writing and math. Skills
that the Commission believes will
help students think and succeed
in real life. Some of these skills
may spur questions or debate.
That Ts exactly what we want to
happen.
Because today is just the first
step.
Now, parents and teach-
ers and business leaders must
come together to assess these ba-
sic skills. Are they the right skills?
For example, if reading is an es-
sential skill, what level of reading
skills ought to be mastered by
which grade?
I want parents and teachers and
Ice cream and frozen dairy desserts still tops
Ice cream lovers get ready for
the fourteenth celebration of Ice
Cream Month this July.
Nothing beats the cool, creamy
sensation of this frozen dairy treat.
Just ask the 98 percent of us who
indulge, consuming about 23
quarts of ice cream annually.
Our favorite flavors? In descend-
ing order they are vanilla, fruit
flavors, nut flavors, candy mix-in-
flavors, chocolate, Neapolitan and
cake/cookie flavors. In the mood
for something a little different?
How about Jalapeno Pepper (va-
nilla ice cream with mild jalapeno
peppers) or Prickly Pear, ice cream
with pieces of cactus fruit. If you
would like to dress up an old stand-
by, try one of America Ts favorite
toppings (in descending order): hot
fudge, chocolate fudge, caramel,
butterscotch, and strawberry.
It should come as no surprise
thatice cream sales are greatest in
the warm weather months of June
through September, with peak
salesin July. And while ice cream
appeals to all age groups, 13 - 17-
year olds consume the most, ac-
counting for 53 percent of ice cream
sales every week. Location also is
a factor in how much ice cream we
eat. New Englanders eat close to
30 quarts each year, while people
on the West Coast eat 24. Folks in
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mis-
souri, Nebraska, and the Dakotas
gobble up about 35 quarts a year
each.
Bring on the Yogurt
Topping the list of dairy dessert
success stories is the increasingly
popular frozen yogurt. Frozen yo-
gurt tallied sales of $1.7 billion
last year, up 28 percent from 1992.
New flavors and flavor combi-
nations are adding to frozen
yogurt Ts popularity. Another rea-
son for yogurt Ts booming success is
its ability to transcend all age
groups. Originally targeted to
oyuppies, ? frozen yogurt appeals
to children and in particular,
adults watching their calorie in-
take.
Novel Ideas
In the mood for something re-
ally different? Try a frozen nov-
elty. The novelty revolution was
launched between 1919 and 1924
with the invention of the Eskimo
Pie, Good Humor Bar, and
Popsicle. Today's frozen novelties
have come a long way since then.
They are available in countless
flavors, coatings, shapes, and sizes
and are made with ice cream, ice
milk, yogurt, sherbet, and fruit
juices and cream combinations.
Total frozen novelty sales have
reached more than $3.3 billion and
now account for nearly one-third
of total retail dollar sales of all
frozen desserts.
No matter what form it takes -
scooped in a dish, topped with fruit
and nuts or dipped in chocolate
and frozen on a stick - ice cream
and frozen dairy desserts continue
to top the list of America Ts favorite
foods.
Cooking questions
and answers

cake flour. How dol dothat?R.LF.,
New Washington, OH
A. Measure one cup minus two
tablespoons all- flour per

to sift either cake flour or all pur-
pose flour as both have been sifted
many times during the milling
process.
Q. I recently ran out of u-

it best to reduce sugar or make up
the difference with brown sugar?
N.F., Richland, WA.
A. For consistently good baking
results, it Ts best to follow the recipe.
In some cookies that call for small
amounts of sugar, powdered sugar
can be substituted. Use twice the
amount of powdered sugar as

Dairy industry
plays healthy role
in state economics
The next time you reach for a
glass of milk or slice of cheese,
think of it as a vote of confidence in
one of the country Ts most enduring
industries and its prominent role
in the nation Ts economy.
Retail sales of dairy products
accounted for more than 10 per-
centofall foods last year amounted
to more than $64 billion. Sales of
fluid milk alone amounted to more
than $28 billion.
The farm income from those
dairy products amounted to more
than $20 billion, not including the
value of beef sales from dairy cows
sent to slaughter.
These expenditures help support
a dairy industry work force that
includes about 128,000 dairy farm-
ers and 65,000 fluid milk industry
employees. The trickle-down ef-
fect of these dairy farms translate
into employment and economic
activity in local communities and
generates $3 to $4 for the local
economy for every dairy farm dol-
lar earned, according to Olin
Forker,; an economist at Cornell
University in Ithaca, New York.
In 38 states, dairy products rank
among the top five farm commodi-
tiesin terms of cash receipts. Dairy
was the leading commodity in Cali-
fornia, Wisconsin, and New York
" dairy products account for more
than half of the total agricultural
cash receipts. Dairy was the num-
ber two or three commodity in an-
other 20 states.
Dairy Production Heads ~~
West
While milk and other dairy prod-
ucts remain as wholesome and
tasty as ever the dairy industry
itself is undergoing big production
changes that affect the economics
of dairying.
Most milk today is being pro-
duced west of the Mississippi, a
region that claims fewer, but much
larger, dairy farms. While the
average dairy herd is 60 cows, in
the West it is nearly 250. Even
though California has overtaken
Wisconsin as the largest milk pro-
ducing state, the fastest-growing
dairy states include New Mexico,
Arizona, Washington, and Idaho.
Recent changes in the dairy in-
dustry are forcing more dairy farm-
ers to rethink how they will mar-
ket their milk in the future. Gov-
ernment purchases of dairy prod-
ucts produced this year so more
than ever is going into the com-
mercial market.
Also changing is how dairy farm-
ers are paid for their milk. While
dairy farmers used to be paid one
price for most of their milk, includ-
ing proteins, nonfat solids, and
butterfat. On average, only 20
percent of theirincome comes from
butterfat, compared to nearly 40
percent several years ago. .
Industry analysts foresee the
day when milk processors will not
automatically buy all the milk a
dairy farmer produces. All pur-
chases will be made on a contract
basis, and only for certain compo-
nents of the milk, they say. That,
coupled with reduced government
purchases of dairy surpluses, will
mean that the supply of milk will
be kept more in line with changes
in consumer demand. For con-
sumers that means more of the
dairy*products you want " when
you want it.

I want North Carolina to engage
in a statewide dialogue about im-
proving our schools. Over the next
year, I will challenge parents and
teachers and business leaders in
every community, at every school,
to sit down and discuss these skills.
Are they the right skills for your
child or employees? What should
the standards be for your school, -
in your community? What kinds of
changes do we need to make in
your school to help your children
meet higher standards?
Next year, the state Board of
Education is scheduled to adopt
rigorous new standards for our
schools, higher standards for all
students.
But higher standards cannot be
imposed from above. Instead,
higher standards must be devel-
oped with real involvement by
teachers and parents. Employers
must also be involved, to make
sure that students are learning
the skills they will need on the job.
That means that the state Ts lead-
ers " the Governor, legislators,

is larger, the flesh is sweeter, the
seeds smaller and the rind thin-
ner. Watermelon Ts luscious sweet
