Wearing his helmet, flak jacket and pistol,
Spec. 4/C. Gregory Frans. Orange, Calif, shoots baskets
during a full at Khe Bash, South Vietnam.


As double 
amputee Ewing W. Mays departed 
' from Fitzsimons General
Hospital here after a live day visit,
he was told by Major General Robert 
E. Blount, commanding officer, 
"You are welcome and invited
to return again and again to provide 
your brand of therapy for
our patients."
General Blount was referred to
May" national tour of military
and civilian hospitals, visiting the
newly handicapped, and particularly 
the amputees.
His Denver visit was fresh on the
heels of an overwhelming tour of
hospitals in the Los Angeles area
that reiceived much national acclaign. 

Man who lost both of his legs
in World War II, plans several
nationwide tours this year. In most
cases the military places our wound
ed servicemen in hospitals close to
their home towns. His noble aim
is to visit all of these hospitals
in 1968. The current winter tour
in taking him to hospitals in Nashville, 
little Rock, Oklahoma City,
Albuquerque Los Angelese Phoenix, 
Denver; El Paso, Del Rio,
San Antonio and Houston, Texas;
New Orleans and Memphis.
A tour of Vietnam is also on
Mays 1968 agenda. Mays says,
"Someone who has conquered his
handicap needs to be there to
walk before them, talk to them,
and show them that it's not so

bad after all."
His work is described as "inspiration-by-example." 
And what an
example! After his tragedy he not
only became a successful businessman, 
but he adopted a permanent
avocation of service to the handicapped. 

In the years since he has comforted 
countless thousands of
wounded veterans in our hospitals
at home and abroad. In 1951 the
Defense Department sent him to
Japan and Korea where he spoke
to more than 90,000 wounded servicemen 
both American and
South Korean.
Besides his hospital visitations
Mays corresponds with many people 
who have lost limbs in civilian
life. When requested he makes
every effort to include a visit to
these persons on his agenda.
There is always an air of excitment 
when this Fort Lauderdale,
Florida businessman visits a hospital. 
One would have to have a
trained eye to even know he is a
double amputee. Tom O. Mathews,
a physician at Brooke Army Medical 
Center in Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, described Mays visit thusly:
Talking, laughing, dancing at
times cajoling and using methods
of friendliness that made it impossible 
to resist,, Mays became, I
feel, an actual part of the ward.
It was Of those moments which all
people are not privileged to witness. 




(Women's Medical News Service)
NEW YORK—(WMNS)— A baby conceived between July and
September will weigh more at birth, on the overage, than babies
conceived at other times. Fewer miscarriages occur when pregnancy 
begins during those months. Women tend to seek prenatal
care later in their pregnancies when conception occure between
April and June and during October.
These are some of the findings
of a three-year study of more than
by the New York City Departhalf 
a million pregnancies made
meat of Health.
As Carl L. Erhardt, Sc. D., principal 
investigator of the research
team that made the study, told
Women's Medical News Service.
"We may soon be able, to vary
the old rhyme about Monday's
child being fair 'of face, and Tuesday's 
full of grace," with 'Summer's 
"child born mere plump,' etc."
Dr. Erhardt noted that external
environment seems to play a role
in the variations found in the
study.
The higher birthweight of babies
conceived during the summer
months might be due, at least in
pert, Dr. Erhardt observed, to the
fact that women are better
nourished in the summer than in
the winter. They eat more vegetables 
and fruits, probably get outdoors 
more than they do at other
seasoris, and may even get more
exercise than they do durinng the
winter months when there is a
tendency to sit indoors more to
avoid the cold.
Emphasizing the importance of
prompt prenatal care to both mother 
and child. Dr. Erhardt noted
that the reasons for postponement
at certain seasons are not so hard
to pinpoint. For many women,
Arirtt-June period coincides with
pans the family vacations and with
the school year drawing to a close.
Mama miry just be toe busy —
and feel too good in the summertime 
— to bother" about going to
the doctor. Similarly. October
herald the Thanksgiving Christmmes 
season — and mothers may
feel too pressed to take time out for
prenatal tare. "In the opinion of
my medical colleagues, anything
that interferes with prompt pre
natal 
care is incurring unnecessary
risks both to the mother and bay, 'b'
Dr. Erhardt commented.
He pointed out that education
and financial resources play a role
in ho wsoon women seek such cure.
Between 50 and 60 percent of private 
patients start care during the
first three months of pregnancy
compared to under 10 percent of
women on the ward service. Nine
out of ten private patients are
getting prenatal care by the sixth
month of pregnancy compared to
between half and three-fifths of
the women needing subsidized care
Apparently under the mistaken
impression that practice makes
perfect, a substantial number of
women, both poor and middle class,
tend to postpone prenatal care
after they have had several children. 
"This is folly." Dr. Erhardt
commented, "since a woman is
most at risk after she has had
more than four or five children."
For reasons not understood, the
peak of conception is November,
and the seasonal peak is from September 
through January. Equally
mysterious is why out-of-wedlock
pregnancies are more likely to occur 
later rather than early in the
year.
"As we begin to understand why
certain seasons of conception are
liely to produce healthier babies,
medical science may be able to
apply the highly effective tools of
contraception now available — the
pills and I. U. D. -to achieve
the objective of giving every-child
the optimum start In life," Dr.
Erhardt concluded.
When the body is stuck in the
mud, you walk on the face. Nothing 
vicious here, though. The
"face" of ceramic tile is always
the surface you walk on while
"mud" is what the trade calls one
of the types of mortar used to
hold the "body" of the tile in
place.

Funds Available
For Journalism
Majors
Information 
on $1,255,781 in financial aid
for college students—most of it
for Journalism majors—is included 
in the seventh edition of the
Journalism Scholarship Guide.
The 128-page report, released
today by the Newspaper Fund, lists
3673 scholarships, fellowships and
assistantships, and information
on $184.652 in loan programs. Instructions 
on where and how to
apply for financial aid are provided. 

A large portion of the 1968
scholarship Guide is devoted to
grants available only to journalism
majors Thin amounts to 1.193e776,
a 17 per cent increase over that
reported in the 1987 Guide.
Other parts of the Guide contain 
a list of financial aid offered 
by newspapers to college-bound
students., information on scholarships 
and loans offered by professional 
journalistic organizations,
and a list of financial aid offered
by colleges to students majoring in
any academisfield, including journalism. 
These amount to 772966.
Since 1962, when the first edition
of the scholarship Guide was

distributed to students teachers,
counselors and parents. The Guide
is part of the journalism career
information program of The Newspaper 
Fund.
Single copies are distributed free
to interested individuals. The newspaper 
Fund was established in
1958 to encourage careers in
journalism! It is supported by gifts

Can 'Forward
America' Help
Your City
The citizen
today who looks around him can
find problems threatening the
future of this country's cities.
Problems that cover the entire
range of human activity: Substanddard 
housing, hard-core unemployment, 
inferior schools, inadequate 
mass transportation systems,
soaring crime rates and many
others plague our cities.
These are realities especially
afflicting core-city areas — and
those people who live there.
A vigorous marshalling of American 
businessmen to attack and
solve these ghetto problems is underway. 

Forward America, an effort
recently announced by the Chamber 
of Commerce of the United
States and developed through experience 
gained over the past eight
years, is one such attempt to bring
private enterprise resourcefulness
to bear on urban problems. Forward
America calls upon businessmen
to join with other responsible community 
groups to work together
in eliminating their areas problems
The combined community forces,
Forward America stresses, should
include representatives from civil
rights, labor, ethnic, religious,
women's, youth, government, education 
and other important interest
groups.
Forward America offers guidelines
on how such coordinated action
can be organized.
Working together, this combined
talent can analyze a particular
area's most pressing needs, select
priorities and then move in concert
against identified problems. Substantial 
public participation is a
mort vital Ingredient in this process 
and should come from open
forums involving all cooperating
groups and citizens at large.
Forward America is no ironclad
assurance against trouble. In and
of itself, it isn't a panacea. But
the teamwork, the direction, the
community spirit that has been
achieved by this process in cities,
such as Hartford, Conn., Tampa,
Fla., Seattle. Wash., York. Pa.,
Rochester. Minn., and others indicate 
the tremendous strength
that lies with people when they
take joint, mutual action on the

Help You Child
Cope With Violence
Violence
is everywhere . . . in big cities,
suburbs and smaller towns, one
of the questions parents often ask
is how they can keep their youngsters 
sale from danger of actual
violent encounters and help them
to cope with the knowledge that
there is great trouble in our society 
today.
An article in the March issue of
Parents' Magazine suggests some
practical ways parents can show
their children that they dont approve 
of violence.
We can beat protect our children
by being honest with ourselves and
with them, by treating them and
others with respect and affection
and, above all, by looking beyond
riots and conflicts to the causes
of such violence so we can attempt
to correct these causes.
It's most important for children
to understand their own feelings
of violence. If children are sensitive 
to toe nature of their own
emotions, they tend to have a
sound instinct for interpreting the
behavior of others and for detecting 
the possibility of fraud, deception 
and danger, they can develop 
a "sixth tense" that tells
them when a person isn't trustworthy. 

The Parents Magazine article

points out that we must particularly 
avoid instilling race or class
prejudice in our children. It should
be made clear to youngsters under
what terrible stresses some people
have labored and how unfortunate
it would be to let the violent actions 
of a few deter us from behaving 
toward all races and classes
of people with the humanity they
merit.

Negro Opposition To Birth
Control Growing Says 'Ebony'
Opposition to birth control is
growing among Negroes, according
to the March issue of BBONY
magazine. Across America, black
people are raising some deep questions: 
Is birth control just a "white
man's plot" to "contain" the black
population? Is it just another
scheme to cut back on welfare aid
or still another method of "keeping 
the black man down?"
The questions come mainly from
the black ghetto, BBONY points
out in an article titled "Birth,
Control and the Negro Woman."
Middle-class Negroes, the magaxine 
indicates, have accepted contraceptive 
practices well. The
questions from the poor show not
only a concern about "containment" 
and welfare cutbacks, but
also a very prevalet idea that birth
control actually means "black genocide" 
— even though the black
birth rate is double that of whites
in some areas.
In Pittsburgh black people have
organized strong protests against
Planned Parenthood programs. In
New York there is an ultra-militant 
group called the Five Percenters 
(who say that just five
per cent of America's 22 millionNegroes 
are worth saving). Their
spokesman has said. "See that sister 
there? She's having another
baby for me. I need an army, and
this is how we're going to get to."
Dr. Charles Greenlee, health
committee chairman of the Pittsburgh 
NAACP. says. "I don't oppose 
contraceptive per se, but I'm
against this 'pill-pushing' in black
neighborhoods where many people
are made to feel that they'd better 
obey 'official suggestions' to
visit a birth control clinic or risk
losing their monthly welfare
check." Doctor Greenlee warns:
"Our birth rate is the only thing
we have. If we keep on producing,
they're going to have to either kill
us or grant us full citizenship."
"Many Negro women have told
our workers, 'There are two kinds

of pills — one for white women
and one for us . . . and the one
for us causes lateralisation." It is
Stewart's job to relieve these fears,
and he suggests a greater representation 
of black people on planning 
boards of clinics in their
neighborhoods to "soften the "white
plot' idea which leaves so many
uninformed people caught between
pressures from militant groups and
their own wishes for fewer children." 

Stripping the family planning
idea of any ideological hang-ups,
a tired-looking woman of 30 at a
Cleveland clinic said, "What the
Black Power people want — well
that's their business, and I guess
there's nothing wrong with it. But
I've had eight babies and two miscarriages, 
and honest to God. I
just can't have no more. Birth
control is my only salvation."
Many Negro leaders, states
FBONY, actively support birth control. 
The first legislator in the nation 
to propose voluntary family
planning information for welfare
recipients was a Negro. William
Robinson, now a member of Planned 
Parenthood's executive board,
remembers that his white colleagues 
called his proposal "political 
suicide." His stand today is
seconded by Whitney Young, executive 
director of me Urban
League, who says, "We are concerned 
with the strengthening of
family life and reducing Individual
and family dependency."
A three-man Negro medical team
headed by Dr. W. F. Bernell James,
Director of Gynecology at Meharry
Medical College in Nashville, has
just conducted two years of tests
with women volunteers of a new
injection-type contraceptive.
Accordingto assistant editor Mary
Smith, author of the EBONY article, 
it is Martin Luther King Jr.,
who proves to be the most eloquent
voice for family planning: "There
is scarcely anything more traffic
in human life than a child who
is not wanted."

American Children
Behind In Math
A considerable 
amount of alarm among
American parents and teachers
was stirred up last year when the
results of the first, large-scale international 
math tests were published. 
A group of thirteen-year
old students from twelve nations
were tested. The American youngsters 
were number ten, on the list
— nine other countries scored
higher than the United states.
Professor John L. Creswell of
the university of Houston writes
in the March issue of parents'
Magazine that before we set up a
cry of alarm, we should examine
the reasons for the low American
score.
The main reason is simple —
we do not stress memory work with
rules and with tables. Instead.
American youngsters are being
taught to be creative in their approach 
to mathematics.
The why, not the how, of arithmetic 
is stressed in American
schools but the international math
test didn't measure creativity of
original thinking. It only measured
precise mathematical skills.
Even so, many parents, wonder
why American youngsters' did not
do well at precise, yes-and-no problems. 
Very much less time is spent
here than abroad in arithmetic
drill and memorizing formulas for
performing operations and solving
problems.
At the end of the sixth grade, a
foreign student has spent approximately 
twice as much time studying 
arithmetic as has an American
child. We believe that the age at
which our youngsters learn how
to solve math problems la lest Important 
than the way in which
they learn to solve them.
If a child's skill derives from a
self-propelled curiosity, he will be
led on to higher and higher accomplishments 
and a first-rate
performance in industry and in the
professions involving higher math.

Gov. John McKeithen Visits Grambling
A trip to
Grambling College by Governor
John McKeithen to inspect facilities 
Wednesday afternoon turned
into a hand-shaking tour of the
campus and friendly impromptu
dialogue with students in the auditorium, 
library, union and gymnasium. 

He told each group, "I am here
to let you know how we feel.
The governor moved through
crowds of students effortlessly, posing 
for pictures and exchanging
comments.
His genial mannerisms and warm
personal approach appealed to both
students and faculty members.
"As your governor," he said, "I
am prepared to set an example by
deeds in regard to Job opportunities 
and first class citizenship for
all people."
He urged students to apply for
state jobs to better themselves,
emphasizing that they "will be
given consideration on the basis
of merite and not race."
In another pronouncement, he
declared, "We are trying to get
more Negroes into positions of responsibility 
and authority in the
carry it forward."
The governor was escorted
around the campus by President

R. W. E. Jones and student, leaders. 
President Jones appraised him
of critical building and equipments
needs.
On arriving in the gymnasium,
Governor McKeithen pulled off his
coat, reminisced about his famous
"hook snot," and missed on two
long shots at the basket.
Both attempts brought churces
and a round of applause. One
student volunteered that "he's better 
at politics than he is in basketball." 

On several occasions, the governor 
introduced Earnest Scarcello
Jr., one of the state troopers to
his party, and urged young each
to consider careers in 'police' work.
Marcelle, a Negro. was owed in
December.
"We would like to hire 50 more

Three Negroes Named
To Ala. Draft Boards

result of pressures brought
by, the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People, 
the first three Negroes in the
history of Alabama have been appointed 
to the state's draft boards
by Selective Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey.
The Rev. K. L. Buford, Alabama 
NAACP field director, reports 
that the Association tailed
upon both Gov. Lurleen Wallace
and Gen. Hershey to withhold appointments 
until the names of Negroes 
were considered for vacancies. 

Clarence Mitchell, director of the

treating the cause.
Dr. Stampfl is considered a far
