Jackson Might Be Toughest
Challenge For Unbeaten FAMU

MIAMI, Fla. Florida
ARM and Jackson State Col
lege of Jackson, Miss, two of
the mightest football powers
on the gridiron horizon, are
set to meet headon here in
famed Orange Bowl Stadium
in the 30th annual Orange
Blossom Classic, biggest of all
Negro college football games.
A crowd of more than $4,000
gridiron fanatics, the greatest
throng in the history of this
encounter, is expected to be
on hand for the opening kick
off. AT stake in this titanic
struggle between the two best
grid squads in their respective
class, is the mythical national
football title.
This is the second straight
Classic clash between these
two giants of the gridiron
world. Last season, under the
same setting, Jake Gathers
dangerous Rattlers preserved
an unbeaten season by knock
ing off Jackson in a thriller.
14-8, before a record crowd of
47,791 fans.
The setting is the same this
year.
Florida concluded regular
season play against Texas
Southern last week with a per-
feet 800 mark for the year.
Thus the Rattlers will be put
ting a record of FL straight
games on the line against
Jackson. Not since Southern
beat them way back i'm NOvem-
Der of 1860, has a team been
able to make the Rattlers bite
the duet.
Jackson will also carry an
enviable record into the en-
counter. The Tigers, who are
coached by youthful John Mer-
ritt, have won nine games and
dropped only one against some
of the toughest competition in
the land. The Tigers also reign
as Southwest Conference
Champions for the second year
in a row.
In the scoring department,
very few teams can compare
with Coach Jake Gathers
boys. The Rattlers rolled up
378 points for AZ point aver
age for the year. Jackson is
one of the few teams that can
compare with FAMU in this
respect, with a 37.4 point aver
age.

Heart Disease

The No. / killer of Negro
Americans is heart disease,
points out the December is
sue of Ebony in an article ex.
|ploring heart disease, tone Of
the major medical riddles of
our time"
Negro women are two and
a half times more likely to
contract coronary heart dis
ease than white women.
Hypertensive disease occurs
more frequently among Neg
roes than among whites.
Middle-aged Negro men =
like their white counterparts
= are more susceptible to
heart attacks than women are
American Negroes are more
susceptible to coronary dis
ease than African Negroes.

burbs."
These are some of the facts
pointed up in the Ebony study
of 1.-The Negro and Heart Dis
ease" Medical research has
not yet been able to discover
the explanation for any OF
them, Ebony points out.
For instance, one school OF
thought blames the higher
rate of apprehension among
Negroes on the psychological
strains of modern city living
and, says Ebony, believes "the
twin evils of discrimination
and segregation may be the
real offenders. But, con
tinues the article in the Negro
monthly magazine, "Some car
biologists argue that high
blood pressure is found among
Negroes in Africa and in the
West Indies where there is lit.
| tie urban life" Still other
researchers are investigating
the difference between Negro
and white dietary habits.
And specialists have offered
five different theories to ex
plain why Negro women have
more heart disease than white
women. Ebony lists them
I"(D possible differences be
tween Negro and white women
in estrogenic (female hor
mone) secretion; (2) possible
differences in endocrine func
ltion; CD differences in diet

offers the best and most economical source of this vital
mineral -"
SECRETARY FREEMAN: "Unquestionably, there are

tany follow special diets But there countless Others
both young and od-who do not receive adequate
nutrition particularly those essential building blocks of
life for which milk the best and most convenient
Infants and growing children especially need milk and
dairy products in their diet because of the large amounts
of calcium and highquaty protein required to keep up
with the growth needs. a#
"Nlilk contains three important nutrents-calciun,
rbohavn and protein in addition to other essential food
eements-whch people get too little of for their best
nutrtional health and usually because they do not get
enough milk.
"In fact milk makes it easy to get the calcium and
rbofavn need In this nations food supplies milk
provides about twohirds of all the calcium, nearly half
of the ribofavin and fourth of the protein.
"Another reason that milk is necessary food source
is that it contains many different nutrients in highly bene
fetal balance which meet Of the basic requirements
of good health The nutrients work together efficiently
to meet the bodys needs -"
Thus did our President and our Secretary of Agri-
culture face up to five critical questions directly affecting
the lives and wellbeng of all Americans serious ques
tions concerning milk to which they gave the American
public straightforward, factua, reliable answers.
The key question, of course that so many Americans
confused by the myriad antilk claims of health and
diet faddists-ask:
Just how important to health is mkis it harm
full or is it natures most nearly perfect food?
PRESIDENT KENNEDY said: 'sI have long been con-
vnced that milk an important aid to good health This
has led me to direct that milk be served at every White
House meal from on-and expect that all of us will
benefit from it -

The President of the United States, John F. Ken
nedy, and Secretary of Agriculture Orve L. Freeman,
this week delivered messages of vital Importance to all
Americans young and old. ..E
These messages-presented before the National Con-
ference on Milk and Nutrition in Washngton-were
concerned with health individuals and our physical
fitness as anationsN ea~4> s.o-~
In addressing this National Conference, President
Kennedy and Secretary Freeman did not deal in plat
tudes generaties They faced some serious and
troversal problems involving our diet; and they spoke
basic truths, in plain, everyday language, which
have needed telling for long, long time.
They spoke on our nations declining milk con-
sumption.
They spoke on the "scare" over radioactive fallout
contamination of milk.
They spoke on the relationship between milk and
weight control.
They spoke on the relationship between milk and
cholesterol levels.
And, they spoke on milks Importance to balanced
diet.
We applaud President Kennedy and Secretary Free
man for speaking out squarey these important prob
lens for underscoring with plain facts the national
significance of these problems around which in the past
too much felton, too much hysteria have been woven
Because of the Importance of these facts to all of u.s.
present public service the following hghghts
Of the addresses by President Kennedy and Secretary
Freeman:
!. Is the overall decline Of milk consumption in
America serious?
PRESIDENT KENNEDY: "This is a serious matter for
us all matter of concern because it implies poor
nutrition and less balanced diet :"
SECRETARY FREEMAN 'This development has i'm
pcatons far beyond the immediate economic effect on
agriculture Its most serious implication may we'll be
in the longterm effect it have the health and
vigor of the people and the nation -
2. How severe is the effect Of radioactive faIout
upon our food supply?
PRESIDENT KENNEDY: "Most Of the discussion (con-
corning faout contamination of food) has unfortunately
used milk example of food products that might be
contaminated -.
Evening star., 1962-01-26

Il should like to correct any misunderstanding that
may exist about this 1t is abundantly clear that for
the foreseeab future there danger from the present
amount of exposure The milk supply offers hazards.
On the contrary, it remains of the best of
nutrition for our children and for adults =" .'
3. Is there relationship between milk and weight
control? i. .~.-- t.
SECRETARY FREEMAN ''We have become extremely
weight conscious in this country in recent years. If the
drop in milk consumption is related to this question:
ought to be greatly concerned Weight control involves
the extent to which we our muscles well the
amount food eat Food alone should not be expected
to carry the entire burden.
"Insofar as we reduce caore intake it should be of
foods important chiefly for calores of foods that
carry indispensable proteins minerals and vitamns The
American people should not make wrong changes in their
dietary habits to prevent or cure obesity :"
a. Is there relationship between milk and cho-
lestero levels?
PRESIDENT KENNEDY: "The Food and Nutrition
Board of the National Research Council has concluded
after intensive research that the association of milk
sumption and coronary disease due to- an increase in
cholestero level has not been sufficiently established to
justify the abandonment of this nutritious element ex-
cept where doctors have individually prescribed special
diets for those found to be susceptible to special cho
lesterol or coronary problems ..."

young and old?
PRESIDENT KENNEDY: eff we are to be vigorous
