Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1970-12-12 J. A. Beauchamp Ground-Breaking Ceremony Ground was broken last week a College and Oak streets for a $1.1 million, six-story apartment complex. Hemphill P. Pride II left, owner of the site: Mayor John T. Campbell and Clifton G. Brown, director of the state FHA, participated to the ceremony. The complex is the first Negro-owned project in the country to be financed under the Federal Housing Administration's 236 program. Brain Sensor and Transmitter May Assist Mental Patients A brain sensor and radio transmitter system, developed for space medical research with test pilots, appears to allow major improvements in diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenic mental patients. "Scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space. Administration's Ames Research Center, and at Agnews State Hospital, San Jose, Calif., a mental hospital of the California Department of Mental Hygiene, are working together on the system. They are using the radio-sensor system with a computer to develop a new means of diagnosis. The new method is under clinical test on mental patients at Agnews Hospital with good preliminary resuits. The sensor-radio system installed in a headset is so light and comfortable that it does not frighten disturbed patients. Because of this, doctors now believe they can use it to distinguish between schizophrenics needing immediate large doses of tranquilizing drugs, and those who can be treated without drugs. The diagnostic method uses difference between patients' brain wave responses to a series of light flashes, as a way of distinguishing between various types of schizophrenia (behavior disorders). Past diagnostic methods using brain waves have required inserting needle electrodes under the scalp, or shaving patches of the scalp for electrode contact. With seriously disturbed schizophrenic patients, these disquieting procedures — required immediately on admission to the hospital — usually have not been possible. The Ames-developed system, however, employs only a headset consisting of a light wire clip fitted with two small electrodes which sense brain waves through the hair with no scalp preparation. The headset also carries a tiny battery-powered radio transmitter to broadcast the brain signals to the computer for analysis. Because data is radioed, no wires are involved. This absence of wires prevents undue anxiety about shock therapy by some disturbed patients who have either undergone it or fear such treatment. "The allaying of such fears is important for good early diagnostic work," says Agnews' Chief of Research, Dr. Maurice Rappaport. "Modern drugs have made possible tremendous advances in the treatment of many emotionally disturbed individuals," Dr. Rappaport comments. "However, there may be a sub-group of schizophrenics for whom non-drug therapy is the treatment of choice. "The problem has been to distinguish these individuals from those for whom drugs fare most appropriate." The radio-sensor system has promise for other uses, Dr. Rappaport adds. Patients could wear the headsets in their wards. Then data on their mental states could be radioed to the computer as they did a variety of Activities, or were presented with different kinds of situations. In cases that are unstable or very acute, moment to moment monitoring could be done, and intensive care provided, much as with intensive care units in general hospitals. Drs. Rappaport and Julian Silverman of Agnews have based the diagnostic method on their research on patient brain-wave responses to light stimuli. Researcher Richard Westbrook of Ames Instrumentation Division and Agnews research bioengineer Kenneth Hopkins have developed the system. For diagnosis, the patient is fitted with the comfortable, wire-free headset and. seated in a darkened isola tion room. He watches light flashes of varying intensity, and his responses are then radioed to the computer for analysis. The sensors and radio were developed at Ames for sensing brain waves of pilots riding centrifuges and doing other tests. The sensors consist of a silver-silver chloride pellet coated with commercial electrode paste, in contact with a sponge wetted with saline solution. The brain's reaction patterns to the light signals are tiny, brief and are mingled with the constant massive flow of other brain wave signals. However, Mr. Hopkins has devised a computer program to sort out these tiny electric signals. The very small one-milliwatt, Ames-developed, high performance transmitter has low internal noise, high sensitivity, and works from a single aspirin-tablet-sized mercury battery. The transmitter measures 5/8 by 1/2 by 1/4 inches.

Farmer, one of the Nixoa administration's highest-rank tag Blacks, resigned Monday as Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. He said he could do more to help negroes from outside the government. 'I'm not repudiating the machinery of government. I am not repudiating the establishment," Farmer told reporters after a White House meeting with President Nixon. But he said he longed to regain his "old role as ad-vocate, critic, activist." Farmer 50, former head of the congress for Racial quality. CORE, said his departure from HEW was friend ly, but he conceded he had differences with the administration as "I had with all other administrations," Despite repeated questioning by reporters, however, Farmer refused to make speific criticisms of the administration's policies toward minorities. In his letter of resignation Farmer said, "I greatly appreciate the opportunity I have had during the year and a half to further this admin is tration's efforts in behalf of the American people, particularly Blacks and other minorities. Satellites Map Pacific weather The first atlas of Pacific Ocean cloud and weather patterns, covering the period 1962 to 1969 has been assembled from data provided by satellites launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Campbell School And St. Cecelia In Yule Pageant "The Star of Bethlehem," a traditional Atlanta dramatic Christmas Pageant, will again be presented Jointly by the Saint Cecelia Children's Choir and the Lena Jean Campbell Elementary School, Sunday, 5 p.m., at St. Paul AME Church, Dr. A. Richard Smith, pastor. For several years Atlanta carol-lovers have marveled at the remarkable performance on these talented youngsters and the unique reproduction of the "Nativity Scent," and this year will be no exception. This original pageant, written by Dr. E. A. Starling, is based on the traditional idea of the Gospel of St. Luke and is concerned with one of the most memorable of all events in the history of the Worldthe Journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem and the announcement of the birth of the New Born child to the shepherds. The Saint Cecelia Choir, sponsored by Bishop Harold I. Bearden, will be directed by Dr. Starling and accompanied by Mrs. E. H. Scott. Then there will be the Atlanta Board of Education String Ensemble, under the, direction of Mrs. Rhoda H. Broadnax and the following groups from Lena Jean Campbell School: the Advanced Choir, directed by Jacquelyn Benton; Intermediate Choir, Mrs. Mable Clark in charge; the Spanish Choir with Mrs. Alda De La Cruz and MissElena Mola in chaise; and the band, under the direction of L. S. Anderson. The late Dr. R. A. Billings, founder and long-time sponsor of the Saint Cecelia Choir, always regarded this joint and traditionally free presentation a gift from the sponsoring institutions to the community. SAFE HOLIDAYS "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"... "But as are so much more fun, be sure to include good fire safety rules in the festive mix," says a Well known expert "You may save a life." "Our well loved symbol of Christmas, the decorated tree is a potential killer - unless appropriate fire prevention techniques are followed," reports Dr. Irmagene Nevins Holloway, recently with the Consumer Education Office of Product Safety of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, now consumer consultant for Owens-Corning Fiberglas. Christmas decoration fire accidents and tragedies do continue to occur, states Dr. Holloway, and the yearly highstatistics from the National Fire Prevention Bureau certainly verify her comment. "If you use common sense," comments this expert, "Christmas decoration fires just .. ... Their causes are obvious... as the National Fire Prevention Association Studies reveal. "The major causes of Christmas decoration fires are: Short circuits due to poor wiring... Explosion or over-heating of light bulbs ... A lighted candle or cigarette near the tree or decoration ... all igniting textiles or wall covering near the tree." "That is Why the preliminary checking of light bulbs and wiring is just as important as attention to the Christimas bells and the plum pudding." The major source of ignition, after the fire begins on the tree, according to Fire Prevention Studies, are the curtains, draperies, wall coverings which may be near the tree. Consequently - Safety hints to follow: 1. Hang fire safe Fiberglas draperies at the windows before which the Christmas tree is placed. At all other windows, too, for this naturally fire safe, easy care fiber is as beautiful as it is safe. Fiberglas curtains and draperies can be safely hung over or near ranges, radiators and fire places. 2. Have a large container of baking soda available. In small, sudden, contained fires — the flames can be effectively S smothered by baking soda. 3. Do not leave lighted tree unattended for long periods of time. Most in Of POW's Favor New Action Eighty-one percent of the next - of - kin of prisoners of war and missing in action in Southeast Asia approve of the attempt to free Americanprisoners from the Sontay prison near Hanoi, according to a survey released today by Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, N. J. Only 10 percent of those interviewed had unfavorable reactions to the rescue effort carried out by armed forces volunteers November 21, the surrey indicated. Eighty-four percent would approve of another rescue mission, or of the government "taking whatever steps are necessary" to obtain release of the prisoners. Only 7 percent would disapprove of future missions. "Fifty-six percent of those interviewed said they believed public criticism of the rescue mission would hurt future efforts to free the prisoners of war. Only five percent thought the criticism would help. Sixty percent indicated they believed future raids of the Sontay-type would be effective. Opinion Research Corporation said the survey was conducted through telephone interviews among a sample of 208 next-of-kin of personnel from the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy who are listed as either missing in action or prisoners of war in Vietnam. The sample was drawn in accordance with established statistical techniques. All interviewing was Conducted by trained interviewers on the staff of the Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, N. J. Interviewing was done from December 1 to December 3,1970. WHO KNOWS? 1. What breed of dogs bark? 2. Do you know the significance of federal interstate highways which have even or uneven numbers? 3.

Not that Gideon was in finan cial difficulty, mind you. It's Just that in the past decade, as nioteld have become more lavish, motel owners became more insistent on having Bibles that were color coordinated with the rooms. Therefore Gideon obligingly discontinued making black dust jackets and began to tarn them out in colors of blue, bittersweet, beige, walnut and olive. One can imagine the consternation caused by a request from the Playboy Hotel for black Bibles to complement the resort's black and white decor. After a thorough search the desired black Bibles were discovered in a storage werehouse and were shipped to Lake Geneva in time for the hotel's grand opening. 22 Inexpensive Ways To Keep Kids Busy Until The Night Before Christmas Christmas is expensive—what with getting a tree and presents and preparing things. Christmas is nervous—what with trimming the tree, and wrapping and hiding the presents, and preparing things. As soon as Thanksgiving is passed and preparations for st. Nick's arrival are begun, kids —who are often the focus of Christmas—are also its major menace. They are underfoot, or curious, or both. Whitman has come up with nearly two dozen remedies, all for under one dollar. They include books, activity books, press-outs, paste-ons, coloring books and puzzles.

Diana Ross Special Slated For ABC-TV Early Next Year Diana Ross, following record-breaking engagements at the Now Grove in Los Angeles Waldorg-Astoria in-New York and the Frontier in Las Vegas will star In her own television special on the ABC network in early 1971. The special is entitled "Diana!" and headlines guest Stars Bill Cosby, the Jackson 5, and Danny Thomas. A presentation of Motown Productions, Inc., the TV-the atrical arm of the vast record tag and entertainment complex the special represents the first of many major ventures to be undertaken in 1971. A budget of $15 millio has been allocated for various projects in different facets of the entertainment industry, according to Michael Roshkind, vice president pf Motown. It is typical of Motown to move forward aggressively when almost everyone else in the business is pulling back cautiously, he suggested. In the record business, Berry Gordy, Jr., President of Mbtown, came up with a new sound ten years ago when he revolutionized the entire industry world-wide, Roshkind stated, and now "we'll do our thing in production areas which will have similar impact in the other phases of entertainment." According to Roshkind, "Dianal" will be a creative iano vation in the TV medium. We have always emphasized creativity in all our leisure time programming activities and viewers will not be disappointed," he said. "Anytime you have a super star like Diana, parlayed with a man of dynamic pioneering vision like Berry Gordy who will personally act as Executive Producer, you just know television programming never had it so good. It will be diffferent and fantastic, because at Motown we simply throw the book away and give the customers something they never had before." Kip Walton, formerly with Dick Clark organization, has accepted a TV executive post with Motown Productions and one of his first assignments is to direct "Dianal." Cubans May Work Kidnapers In Sugar Cane Fields The kidnapers of James R. Cross will likely be put to work in the sugar cane fields of Cuba the Montreal Star reported Saturday in a special dispatch from Havana. The paper quoted an unidentified Cuban official as saying "only if they are highly skilled in some trade could they escape the sugar cane fields" where the Castro government is said to send its "undesirables." Two of the kidnapers who received safe conduct passage to Cuba in exchange for delivering Cross alive and well are former taxi drivers. In Toronto the Telegram reported Saturday the Cuban government was treating the kidnapers "on a par with hijackers and it appeared there is "no likelihood" they will be put on public display. telegram reporter John Marshall, writing from Havana, said recent reports indicated the Cuban government has been trying to discourage hijackers from choos ing Cuba as their destination. When the Canadian Forces Yukon carrying the four kidnapers and their three dependents arrived three Havana Thursday night, there was no fanfare. They were escorted by minor Cuban officials to an "unknown destination." Ecology Battleflag Anyone who wants to join the battle against pollution can now display the bright green and white flag of ecology. Its green stripes stand for the unspoiled land; the white stripes, for clean air; and the Greek letter, that, symbolizes the dear and present threat to the environment It's as easy for an individual to obtain one of these flags as it is to walk to the corner store. The colorful flag decals are now available in special packages of Clorets. . For environmental groups, the decals can also be obtained at cost in quantities of 20 for fifty cents or 50 for $1.00 by writing Clorets Ecology Decal, P.O. Box 166, Wheaton, Illinois 60187. The green and white flag is a symbol of the individual's commitment and pledge to enlist in the battle to keep America beautiful. What is corpuscular radiation? Does it affect the earth's weather to any significant degree? corpuscular radiation is, in the simplist form a sort of electric current. It takes theform of charged particles which come into the earth atmosphere from the sun. It is, then, a radiation from the sun. Corpuscular radiation plays a major role in determining the earth's weather, according to many able meteorologists. It has the effect, when in an abundance, to heat the polar regions, as apart from the equatorial regions. This produces extreme contrasts in the weather within short distances but generally make for warmer, drier weather on most of the earth. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Prolonged illness or disability compels many people to spend months or years in bed. Time often drags, especially for those who are not fond of reading and for those whose eyes are weak or defective. Complete rest in bed is necessary in the, cure of many diseases. The body isn't equal to the wear and tear of everyday living. When you're up and about, your heartbeats more rapidly and the lungs have to work harder. You can't keep the muscles still; they're constantly in motion. You don't notice this particularly, but your body is burning fuel which must be replaced to sustain life. Rest conserves the fuel supply. The drain on the system is greatly reduced so that the body is enabled to fight the infection more effectively. The new drugs haven't done away with the necessity for rest, though they help combat and overcome infection. The process of repair goes on rapidly when the patient doesn't have to struggle against fatigue, changes in temperature, work or worry. Unless the patient resigns himself to bed rest, he'll get little benefit from it. When you retire, learn to relax. Don't clench your fists and draw up in a knot. You must sleep it your body is to repair itself during the night. First get into comfortable positions when you go to bed, which should be reasonably early. Relax your muscles. Letyour body go completely limp. Approach sleep by an evening prayer. Ask forgiveness for all your wrong deeds or thoughts. If any cone has trespassed against you, forgive him, Wipe the slate clean. Don't harbor any feelings of hate or unkindness towards anyone.
