Brown, who has served in
the legislature 19 years, said
he would not campaign as a
"Black candidate", and does
not expert his race to help or
hurt him. He will campaign,
however, on his legislative
record, which he said "demon
strates a broad concern in
dealing with problems of
statewide interest."
The Indoor Sports Club is
not an athletic club as the
name seems to imply, but is a
national club for the disabled.
Its members are persons who
are in w'leelehairs, walk with
crutches or braces, are bed
ridden, or are severely dis
abled.
The club was formed in
1930 as the result of a shutin's
effort to find a pen pal. and
has developed into a social
and rehabilitative organiza
tion.
The Portland Chapter,
which is celebrating its 25th
anniversary this year, is
making an effort to interest
minority group members and
young people.
Meetings usually consist
mainly of socializing, a short
business meeting, sometimes
entertainment, and dinner.
Meetings are held the fourth
Sunday of the month at Matt
Dishman Center.
The organization also serves
as a “watchdog" on legislation
affecting the handicapped,
assists fund raising drives for
the March of Dimes and Red
Cross, and participates in
“Employ the Handicapped"
projects.

Congressman Charles Ran
gel. Chairman of the Con
gressional Black Caucus, has
announced that the Depart
ment of Health, Education
and W elfare intends to
award additional grant funds
to the Delta Community
Hospital, Mound Bayou.
M ississippi.
HEW had
earlier announced that cur
rent grant support for this
health facility serving the
all Black tow n of Mound
Bayou would be allowed to
expire on May 31st. As it
has done in the past, the
Congressional Black Caucus
intervened on behalf of the
hospital with Federal of
ficials. HEW's position that
it does not fund hospitals
was unacceptable to the
Caucus, since the Depart
ment supports hospitals
under the Public Health Ser
vice Act and through the
Indian Health Service Pro
gram.
“As a result of
Caucus efforts and the con
cern of the national Black
community." staled Rangel.
"HEW will support the Delta
Community Hospital for a
12 month period to allow it
to convert from a grant
funding basis to a fiscal
procedure more customary
for hospital operations."
The five county area of
Northwest Mississippi, the
heart of the Delta region of
the State, is one of the
poorest areas of the country,
and can hardly afford to lose
any of its existing resources.

4:30 p.m., Monday through

or grandmothers.
The in
structor is Marjorie L'Ren, a
lecturer in PSU's English
department.
An evening seminar on
Influential Women in Ameri
can Thought and l.ife will be
offered from June 25th

poverty and the desperate
need to improve the quality
of life, this five county area
was threatened with the
impending loss of its two
most important health facili
ties
The Mound Bayou
Community Hospital and the
Delta Health Center, an out
patient component.
The hospital and health
center have survived various
crises over the past several
years.
In 1972 Governor
Waller of Mississippi vetoed
Mound Bayou Federal fund
ing, and forced the Office of
Economic Opportunity to
override his objections twice,
laist year the health facilities
were once again threatened
when they were transferred
to the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare in
stead of the Government
S e r v ic e s Adm inistration.
This year HEW informed the
Mound Bayou Community
Hospital, Inc. that funds
would be cut off as of May
31. 1974.
Throughout these various
crises Mound Bayou resi
dents appealed to local, state
and national representatives
to no avail. "Apparently,"
said Chairman Rangel, “the
needs of Rlack constituents
are low on the priority list of
many Mississippi officials.
However, the Congressional
Black Caucus will continue to
attempt to address the needs
of Blacks all over the
country, especially those
whose national representa
lives are unresponsive."
