; WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, MARCH 23, lw/ ROCKYMOUNT / —‘ •ifcmnr V I YtEVYS WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? ? '■ ROCKY MOUNT T!.icolumn is much concerned about the press j .reports which stated that attorneys Herman Taylor and Samuel Mit chell of Raleigh failed to perfect the appeal in time - 20 days - in the ease of Weldon attorney James R. Walker, Jr., who was convicted in Northampton County Superior Court last August for allegedly as saulting a white woman registrar by pointing his finger; loud talk ing and failure to leave the pre mises of the registration booth - ;> store - when so ordered ■Since there was so much at I stake in this cure it is hard To j understand how all three of the j attorneys involved could slip up on j ihe limit of time they had to file l their appeal Reportedly, the Court raid 20 days was the filing limit; but ap- i peal was not filed until 4 months ! and 20 days after the trial in j Judge Henry L, Stevens court at Jackson. What this will do to the mo- j rale of Eastern Carotin <;■: ■rens who rave of their meager earnings and elorts t« the b. half of themselves and Walk -r. is d.'shcarbiiing to cordr-m- i plate; to sav nothing of the ! watchful v. ailing of the peon - • which will be shattered if ; Walker - with their efforts, a gain - has to dig up SSOO and court costs. The writer spent two days and 250 miles of driving to c- vrr tin.; ease gratis. It is hoped thrd this cose can, in some way, bo resumed, in order that the "Black B«dt” counties of Eastern North Caro lina may yet win their rights re garding voting: and that a pro mising young attorney CWalhav) mav vet be able to remove the stigma which is about to come a gainst him, be cause there are 'ho.se among us who doubt any efforts ! made on the civil rights and feel j the workers are insincere.

Drip-dry, no-iron mini mum-care fabt k . are heavily fav ored to help nurses stay appeal ingly fresh and'comfortable. In the early twenties, when white came into favor for nurses’ wear, this manufacturer revolu tionized “on duty’’ apparel with four up-to-the-minute styles. To day, their talented designers adapt hundreds of the newest couturier-inspired fashions to the crisp professional look. Happily, nurses can dress with variety and still conform to requirements of the profession with good taste. For this Spring's gentler look, White Swan’s shirtwaist style No. 7021, shown here, has a graceful roll collar, fine pleats and cluster buttons at the waist. The gripper-fastened skirt is full and softly pleated. With % or short sleeve-- in drip-dry dacron aiid-cotton blend or in crisp pop lin, in sizes 11 to 15 and 10 to 18.

C. NAACP Conference president Kel ly Miller Alexander of Charlotte, last week said that the scheduled Mother’s Day (May 12th) appear ance of the noted former baseball player, Jackie Robinson, had been postponed untii Sunday. May 19th, at 3 p. m. This is“the new date set to com ply with the wishes of Mr. Rob inson to remain at home with his family on Mother's Day, since it has been usually impossible for him to spend the day with his fam ily for several years because of his baseball training schedule at that time. Robinson is chairman of the NA ACP national Fighting Fund for Freedom (4-F) drive with a goal of one million dollars to be raised during each i calendar vear thru 1963, the one hundredth anniver j sary of the Emancipation Procla mation issued by Abraham Lin coln to free Negro slaves. The Freedom Fund is being used to break down all forms of legal and traditional barriers to the sharing of complete American citizenship benefits and responsibilities which barriers are now restraining Ne groes from such rights. The state NAACP conference is sponsoring a “Mother-of-the-Year” contest in connection with its fund-raising activities this year, with the honor going to the mother who raises the most money on the 4-F drive by May 19th, the day of the crowning of the mother to be selected from among those over the state who enter the cor.tesi Any ambitious mothers wishing to en ter and fight, for the rights of na tion and the youth of tomorrow may contact their nearest NAACP branch or official, or write to Char les A.
