News dispatches out of Charlotte report the school superintendent and the Charlotte schools as saying that the ‘ doors of the Charlotte public schools are open to Negroes." This and other related statements were given to a fairly large Negro dele gation that met with the Charlotte school authorities last week. The group, headed by Kelly Alexander, president of the North Carolina NAACP Conference, requested this meeting in order to clarify the school integration situation in Charlotte. The Charlce> school officials said it was their feeling that until and unless Negro children applied for admission to the schools now I attended solely by whites, there was nothing that could be done about school integration. The state ment by these officials that the doors of the Charlotte schools are open to Negroes will have to be taken for its face value. Negro leaders in Charlotte freely admit that no Negro children there have sought admission to any school they have not previously attended. There is no reason to doubt or to question the good faith inten tions of the Charlotte school of ficials. Nothing hss ever been gain ed by doubting the good faith of any one before a test has been made of that purported good faith. It is incumbent upon the Negro parents in Charlotte to speedily seek admission of their children to the schools nearest to where these children live or to the schools that offer facilities and training that will best serve these children's needs. It will not be known whether or i not the Charlotte school people in | tend (o obey the law as interpreted j by the U. S. Supreme Court after 1 these school applications have beer; i filed. Regardless to the outcome of the Charlotte school interpre tation of the situation, it is per tinent to point out the difference in the expressed attitude of the Charlotte and Raleigh school of ficials. Delegations seeking to learn the attitude of the Raleigh School Board concerning school integra tion have repeatedly appeared be fore the Raleigh School Board. At no time has this board given any indication that it was even con sidering th<- question of integrating the schools here. Suggested ways of accomplishing integration have been presented to the local school board. These sugegstions have never been studied or even considered by the Raleigh Board. Petitions and applications from Negro parents for ; the admission of their children to the schools nearest them, addressed to the school board, have been thrown into the waste basket by the Raleigh school superintendent Negro parents who hqve gone to the superintendent with a request That their children be allowed to attend the schools in their district, have been intimidated and threat ened with job reprisals. In view of these sad experiences encoun tered by Negroes in Raieigh who have sought relief and compliance with (he school law there is no doubt that the Raleigh school of ficials have closed the door to the so-called white schools to all Ne gro children, regardless of the jus tice of their pleas. No one can say ihat Negroes here have not tried lo have the superintendent and (he school board comply with the law. True, no suits have been brought here, as far as we have been able to learn, no suits are contemplated We would like here to call attention to complaints so oft.er voiced by Southern whites, that the Negroes would gain more by trying to work Out a peaceful solution of the problem than they can get through court actions. The RSleigh school officials have blown that fantasy sky high. They have closed the door to every peaceful solution Negroes have tried to work out. Negroes here find themselves damned if they seek justice by law, they find, themselves ignored when they ask to be given the same consideration accorded other citizens. The city of Charlotte has said that the doors of its schools are open to Negroes when will the school doors here be opened to them. WATCH THAT X: April 30 is primary day in Raleigh. On that ADD - ODDS AND ENDS date the citizens of this city will go to the polls to select the candi dates to be voted or. in May for membership on the City Council. At one time it seemed as if there might be a dearth of council can didates. Although to date, the four teen names nedeed to fill the re quirement for a run off election have not appeared, there is a strong possibility that a sufficient num ber of candidates will file before the April 15 deadline. This city needs a Negro on its City Council. In no other way can a sense of balance be obtained. In no other way can Raleigh’s ■■ 30,000 Negroes obtain representa tion. We sincerely hope that a Ne gro will be elected to the council (his year. However, regardless to whether or not this can be achiev ed, seven persons will be elected to serve on that important body • for the next two years. Because the Raleigh City Coun cil is an important body and be cause what it does and fails to do for the next two years, is of vital importance to every Negro in Ra leigh, it is highly important that when you go into the voting booth on April 30th, try to know for whom you arc voting before you mark X besides his name. The re cord of most of the announced can didates can easily be obtained. A person cannot live in a community no larger than Raleigh for several years without doing or saving things that will indicate his atti tude toward Negroes. Study the racial record of nil the candidates end then vote only for those you can reasonably expect to give you a square deal. Be careful where you put that X. HIND SIGHT VERSUS FORE SIGHT Now that the North Carolina 1 Conference of NAACP branches ! has given this state a check for ; WEDDING j BELLS | EDITOR’S NOTE: Marriage j licenses were issued by the Wake County Register of Deeds t» the following: March 29: Leano Brooks, 39 of West I.lenoir Street and Naomi Hood. 32 of 514 S.

We have stated in this column several times tha ( , in ou: opinion, the NAACP was legally bound to comply with this law and we felt it should do so. We do not how ever, find any solace in the fact that the organization was fined $500.00 for its failure- to comply. The state officials of the NAACP are all upright, honest arid con sciencious persons, dedicated to ser ving the cause of true democracy. Those qualities do not. however, take from the human weakness of making a mistake. This mistake was a bit costly but we. predict they and the organization they so c.bly serve will benefit from this mistake. MORE PRISONS NEEDED? Commenting «,n the almost prohi bitive cost of using the Raleigh high schools for Saturday night dances for iht- teen seers, one Ra leigh parent is quoted as saying that if the Raleigh boys and girls were bad enough to require the amount of policing and supervi sion as requisites fen- holding these dances in the school buildings, it seemed to her that instead of more schools, there is a need for more prisons. We have no intention of entering into this controversy be tween the school superintendent and the recreation department over the use of these schools for Satur day debt dancing, but we would ike :o point out ihat unless some thing is speedily done to chock the lawlessness of this city's teen agers, more prisons will soon be needed to house them. BELATED AWAKENING: It was not until a Negro woman through her Negro attorneys filled a suit challenging the right of a Nor‘h hampton County registrar to deny her the right to register that this state realized that its voting regis tration law's are wrong. This lav/ now says that a person presenting himself for registration must, be able to read and write the state Constitution to the satisfaction of the registrar Why such an arbitrary ar.d des potic provision has not been at tacked before now will possibly remain a mystery. Everyone knows this provision was put into the law for the express purpose of preven ting Negroes from voting. The re gistrars, particularly those in this state’r easi,-rn r ' n unties where, in some, Negroes out number the whites were set up as the tools by which we are to be disfranchised. -Being an integral part of this dia bolical plot to prevent from voting, graduates of Oxford or Harvard or any other institu tion of higher learning could never "satisfy t hese registrars.” How could they? > Now that a suit has been filed seeking to outlaw this law, mem bers of the general assembly and the press are saying that it should be changed. Even Governor Hodges is quoted as being in favor of mo dification of it A bill introduced in the General Assembly last week would strike out the clause, “to the satisfaction of the registrar and simply say that every person must be able to read and write before being allowed to register. As it now stands, there is no ap peal from the ruling of the regis trar. The bill before the General Assembly would allow a person the right of appeal. It is ar fore who had been denied by a register, gone certainty that this bill will be passed but it is also a foregone certainty that all of these per | sons knew the wrongness of the present law and are only advoca ting its change for outside pub licity reasons FOOD SHOW (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) expect to outdo themselves in the decorations of the booths and the prizes will be the best ever offer ed.
