NEW ORLEANS The Elks convention delegates voted against admitting women while approving a repeal of the blackball rule aimed at expanding Black membership. The change requires two thirds lodge approval rather than three votes to reject a candidate. Local reactions praised the step forward despite continued male only membership.

Women Suffer Rising Lung Cancer Deaths From Smoking
Federal researchers report women kept smoking into the 1960s while men declined, now facing higher lung cancer death rates. Between 1979 and 1986 US deaths rose 5 percent to about 50 per 100000, with female deaths increasing faster than male. The CDC notes long latency means rising female deaths may continue into the turn of the century.

Experts Deny Poor Locked Into Poverty
A four year National Research Council study titled A Common Destiny: Blacks and American Society rejects the culture of poverty as a self perpetuating cause of black poverty. It finds discrimination remains but economic stagnation since the 1970s mainly widens the whites blacks gap. Most poor families cycle in and out of poverty and many poor people are hard working, save, endure deprivations, and urge their children to do well.
