During his U.S. Trade Mission to Africa, outgoing United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young visited with Liberian President
William R. Tolbert, Jr., who is also chairman of the Organization of African Unity. Young presented a letter from President
Carter inviting Mr. Tolbert to meet with him at the White House following the African leader’s address before the United Nations.
The Young Trade Mission, which included seven black businesspersons, visited seven African countries and was described as
"highly productive."
on a broad range of matters of mutual
interest’
• We firmly believe there must be an end
to the deprivation of human dignity and
fundamental rights for the majority of the
people of Namibia and Zimbabwe solely
because of the color of their skin; and
• These last vestiges of colonialism must
give way to freedom and independence
based on the will of the prople.
“The policies of the U.S. Government
toward southern Africa reflect the Carter
Administration’s commitment to human
rights. President Carter made it clear from
the beginning that a renewed commitment
to our responsibilities in the field of human
rights required justice in southern Africa.
But our policy in southern Africa also
grows out of our policy toward Africa as a
whole, a policy based on support for free
dom, independence, territorial integrity,
and economic development and dignity for
all African nations. We believe it is in our
national interest to work cooperatively with
African nations on mutual economic and
political concerns.
"At the heart of tensions in southern
Africa lies the smoldering racial crisis in
South Africa itself. There as well, time is
the enemy. Refusal to take daring steps now
will make progress later much more pain
ful, if not impossible. The United States
will, therefore, let the South African Gov
ernment know that this American Adminis
tration strongly believes that change in
South Africa must begin now.”
Making Life Worthwhile
Rarely, if ever, has the American political
system been graced by a more substantial
and effective idealist than it was in the
presence of Andrew J. Young Jr. as Ameri
can Ambassador to the United Nations.
Mr. Young once remarked* “If we ever
believe things are impossible, then we’ve
got nothing to live for at a11.... The im
possible dreams make life worthwhile and I
would not trade them for any amount of
realism, caution or protocol in the
w0r1d.... Everything I have ever done has
been controversial and naive, and people
have advised against it.”
The 47-year-old Mr. Young looks to the
future—and hopes to help change Ameri
ca’s perception of its place from that of
bygone realities to one of an evolving role in
a radically altered global situation. In this
sense, far from being a visionary, Mr.
Young may be said to be the model of an
ultimate pragmatist. He has always been
that kind of person. It was this pragmatism
which led to his resignation, while winning
for himself—and so, implicitly for his coun
try—the almost unprecedented applause of
the world.
Born, in a sense, to the purple, he has
been raised in affluence, trained for service
and destined to lead. Some still say—de
spite a recent hiatus—that the eventual
occupancy of the White House is not be
yond his realistic possibilities of attain
ment.
Prepared formally as a clergyman, An
drew J. Young Jr. has committed himself to
human good worldwide, realizing as too
few leaders thus far have done that the size
of the world is rapidly shrinking and that
global problems must be perceived in terms
of immediacy, such as we saw and dealt
with among neighborhoods in the not-to
recent past.
Ambassador Andrew Young, with his
wife—the former Jean Childs of Atlanta—
and their four children have left the Ameri
can United Nations Ambassadorial resi
dence in New York. But it may be said of
him and his family that, wherever they may
live, they are home—for they are, in a
gloriously exemplary and promising way,
prominent citizens of our emerging world.

Tooth decay tips
for grandmothers
DEAR INEZ: I am the grandmother of a darling five-year-old girl.
The only thing wrong is that she does not like to brush her teeth.
I’m so afraid she will have cavities soon. We have tried several dif
ferent toothpastes, but she doesn’t like the taste of any of them. How
can we get her to brush her teeth? ANXIOUS GRANDMOTHER
DEAR ANXIOUS GRANDMOTHER: There is nothing like being
a grandmother. I am one myself, so I can appreciate your anxiety
over your granddaughter not brushing her teeth. Luckily we en
couraged our granddaughter's good dental habits very early by hav
ing her use AIM toothpaste.
Now that she is older, it seems that every time we turn around
she’s brushing her teeth with AIM. We find that this blue-gel tooth
paste has the good taste children like, which encourages them to
brush longer and more willingly.
What’s more, AIM contains fluoride which helps prevent cav
-1 x. ities. As a matter of fact, clinical tests have
"iS-a proven that no toothpaste prevents tooth
— decay better than AIM.
A handy tip to get children to brush their teeth is to put a tooth
brushing chart on the bathroom wall which shows them the proper
method of brushing.
Every time the youngster does it correctly, have him or her mark
the chart for that day.
Also, be sure that your child’s toothbrush -is on a hook low
enough for her to reach so she can easily brush her teeth as long
and as often as she likes.
AIM toothpaste helps keep teeth and gums healthy and also fights
cavities. And explain to your granddaughter that brushing her teeth
after every meal and before going to bed will help keep her teeth
clean as well as healthy.
So relax and let AIM help you fight the battle against cavities.
SEVEN DAYS TO YOUNGER-LOOKING SKIN
BEAUTY KNOWS NO age. The older we get, the more conscious
we are of the appearance of our skin. We want it to be soft and
smooth so we can look younger.
A secret is to cleanse your skin thoroughly each day. One good
way to achieve this is by using DOVE beauty bar.
DOVE is a mild cleansing bar that contains one-quarter moistur
izing cream. It helps keep your skin soft while it cleanses.
As we get older our skin doesn't produce as
much protective oil. Your skin also has a ten- f j
dency to produce less natural moisture.
But with DOVE you can start having smoother,
younger-looking skin in just seven days. That’s i
because DOVE does not dry the skin like soap,
but moisturizes it instead.
Using DOVE, in conjunction with a total beauty regime consist
ing of proper diet, rest and exercise, will help your skin be lovely.
I don’t know about you, but I intend to look as youthful as I can—
as long as I can—with DOVE beauty bar!
FRESH BREATH FOR SOCIAL ASSURANCE
MY WORK CONTINUOUSLY puts me in close contact with new
people. Many times I’m in business and social situations where bad
breath could be a real problem. However, now I use SIGNAL mouth
wash to help control noticeable mouth odors.
SIGNAL freshens your breath, and, at the same
time, counteracts food odors in your mouth. SIGNAL
is very effective for combating strong mouth odors,
even those as strong as garlic and onion.
Now I can enjoy foods which are highly seasoned
and not worry about the unsociable effects of bad
I I breath.
h 1 That’s why I keep a convenient bottle of SIGNAL
mouthwash in my purse all the time.
SaHBM SIGNAL gives your mouth a refreshing taste and a
sparkling-clean feeling. It’s good to face social and
business situations with the confidence that fresh breath brings.
