We can imagine the “gentle

who made the suggestion for
the prison term. You can ima
gine just how many of those 20

GOOD ADVICE Mr Louis Aus
tin. the crusading and militant .
editor of the Carolina Thru a, pave
the students of Shaw Uni 'msity
some very timely advice when in
told then that one of the great
est racial needs is jobs and that it
was the responsibility of trained!
Negroes to create jobs forth ir !
fellow mail. Mr. Austin, who spoke
before a student- assembly in i
Shaw’s Greenleaf Hal!, pointed out
the fact that today th" morses of
Negroes in this country are a! j
I most totally dependent upon the I
| white man for his daily bread.
I Because of this d--p rutanc . the
; Negro worker has not and cannot !
* achieve the dignity enjoyed by ;
workers of other races. Exploita- <
tion wage differentials and even j
denial of the opportunity to work j
are other consequences of this de
pendence said Austin All that Mr

Dr. J. E. Thomas Guest Speaker
At Monthly Career Conference
Dr. .lames E. Thomas, local;
physician, was guest, speaker'
Tuesday night, April 2 at the I
monthly Career Clinic held at the!
Chavis Heights Community Cen-'
ter and sponsored by the AKA I
Sorority, Present were 75 mem
hers of the junior and senior
classes of Upon School.
hr. Thomas was introduced
by the Clinic Chair;: p, Mrs. K
V. Perry, and spoke on the
Subject, “Medicine As A Voca
tion.'' !u developing his talk
he used the method of first
asking a quesfio liand then
answering it. The four ques
aAustin said to bis youthful au
dience shouid be said and resaid j
until the impact of his speech has i
found meaning in fruition. !' is a I
story that our teachers and lead- I
ers have miserably failed to teach I
and to tell,
In a large measure, the sta
tus of the Negro in America
today can he likened to the
street eon rr hegger with his
iin rap. Passers by out of sym
pathy, veil! occasionally drop a
few coins into th.p run but If
there is sympathy in these ges
tures of support, there is never
any respect. \ft sensible per
son will ever try to relate the
fact that Negroes in this coun
try are systematically denied
the rights and privileges of
employment so freely enjoyed
by workers of other rare
groups.
On the other hand, no sensible
j person should deny the fact that
1 Negroes h ive failed miserably in
! the proper utilization of the’ on
| oortun.iti’s that, are available to
j them. In many instances and on
several occasions, Negroes in this
country have demonstrated that
they not only possess unlimited in
inhent abilities bid that they can
use th ' v: abilities in over coming
raids and in the establishment of
| new fronti- rs of achievement. I!
i is. however, a sad commentary on
j the economic status of the Ameri
| can Ncsto today vi wed in the
i bght of his proven possibilities. .
j Negroes will set and moan all day. j
! decrying their lack of opportune
! ti-'s and bemoaning the fact
: I hot they are net given the con
j n deration v. hen tiny applv for
jobs that is given to other races i
Mr. Austin is a modest man but i
be- could have told his audi moc !
that no one gave him his oppor- j
j I unity oth-T than the opportunity j
j of bring born in America. As the i
i •'ditor and nub’isbor of the Caro- j
J bna Tunes, he js not onlv exploit- j
■ mg his own nnnoriunuy but is
! providing opportunities for sev- |
1 era! others.
A lew W ago a Negro d; c! I
m Raleigh leaving an estate of i
nearly JOO thousand doll;ws,' No
one made an opportunity for Mr.
VV. O Yarbrough other than Mr
Ya»-brough himself. Thi bigger:
and most successful men in Ameri

lions used were: I. Just what j
sort of person should want to
become a doctor Ii How j
does one become a doctor? ,
HI. What are the opportunf- j
tics for me once I become a
doctor? IV. As a doctor what
would be my reward?
In answering question Nn.l Dr.
Thomas stated ns the criterion of
sincerity the following: “If you
are willing to get. out of a warm !
bed in the middle of a cold night, j
drive 20 miles, knowing that you !
will not bo paid, to see a patient
who you know can wait till morn
ing. then I feel you are qualified
to begin the study of Medicine.”
