0 o 0 THURSDAY. JUNE 23. 19(0 Big Virginia Stores Integrate Lunch Counters Br United Press International Three big stores in north ern Virginia integrated their lunch counters Wednesday, and new demonstrations by Negroes against segregation 'at the lunch counter broke out in North Carolina. The lunch counter demon strations, which began last February, have virtually ceased in the South since be ginning of the summer vaca tion at schools and colleges. But summer school students : at a Negro university in Char lotte, N. C, staged sitdown .demonstrations in at least six stores Wednesday. .Others Segregated The F. W. Woolworth com pany and two department stores in Arlington, Va., just across the Potomac river from ; Washington, integrated their .lunch counters after two .weeks of such demonstrations. Woolworth's said the Arling ton store would be the only one in Virginia to do so. At Nashville, T e n n., a "speaker at Fisk university's annual race relations institute called the sitdown demonstra tions "one of the most mas ' ive social movements this continent has ever known." Committee Refused ; Dr. Robert jonnson, con sultant to the Field Founda tion of New York, told the Fisk audience that during the Ipast decade there has been a ; "sharp increase in the ten dency of American Negroes to become orderly and effec tive aggressors rather than avoiders or accepters." He as cribed this to desegregation . of the armed forces and major league baseball teams. In Alabama, Gov. John Pat terson refused requests of sev eral Negro organizations to create a bi-racial committee to study the race question In the state. Patterson said the requests came from "Negro racial agitators" with whom he would nyt deal. Light Industry Declared Great User of Energy Glasgow, Scotland-(Scienee Service)- Men who work In light industries, such as a sewing machine plant, may expend as much energy as men working in heavy indus tries like steel, a study of elderly working men shows. Dr. J. V. G. A. Durnin of the department of psysiology at Glasgow University studied the energy output of men be tween 60 and 65. He found: In the steel industry, where men do strenuous work but do it infrequently, the aver- ' age elderly worker expends 3,300 calories a day. In a truck assembly plant, ;.the daily average was 2,700 calories. . In the sewing machine ; plant, where many of the men sat all day at an assembly 'line, the average was 3,300 : calories a day. These figures took into account the rest of .the day, but most of the men jwere extremely idle in the .evenings. i More Food Required I "We may have been very "wrong in what we think eld rly people can do in indus ' try," Dr. Durnin said. "Elderly people may re quire to take in more energy in the form of food than ryoung people," he said, "even when both may be doing pre cisely the same job, as well . as taking the same amount of .exercise. Elderly people are, on the whole bulkier and therefore use up more energy In doing the same work." A factor that caused heavi er demands to be made by so called "light" jobs was that a light task was more likely to be a continuous one all day long except for meal breaks, whereas the man with a strenuous task to do relaxed in between the demands of the job. I Washougal Slime Said To Be Algae Vancouver, Wash.
