Mr. and Mrs. Ernest ‘•Rubble" Pierce. Jr. are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a blessed event. In a recent edition of the CAR ; OLIN IAN this column brought ! out that if took live New York, j Boston, and Washington boys to i bring the first arid only runner | up to the National Champions of ; high school basketball to Person j County High School. At that time, i many of our worthy Person Court - !fy citizens criticized the high ! school athletic program, and su'd | that person County boys could | be developed into players of equal calibre, of the “Northern'' boys. J So, the ' Northern’' boys finally j stopped coming to us. I On the brink of ail of this, a ! group of Interested men teachers ; in the county attempted to ini*i ! ate a mild athletic program in the ! elementary schools. The most suc j cesf-fui of these efforts is a coun • : i.v softball league. Softball, be j cause equipment and facilities are i more conducive to this sport than ! to midget or little league baseball. The softball activities have the : approval of the administration j and have, been operating smooth j I.v. They ere doing a marvelous I job of developing coordination, i courage, self-control, self-sacrt j fice. courtesy, kindness, loyalty. | obedience, honesty, cooperation. ; initiative, and all of the other ! specific objectives of physical ed : ucatior, in the elementary school, jas outlined by Neilson and Van ! Hagen, prominent authorities in i this field. j Now we hear that, these same ! busy bodies that ran down the ! “Northern" boys playing with our j high school are busy running i down the softball program, “It's I overemphasized" or "there's too much ball" they sa.v. Well, we don’t have a midget program in sport, for Negroes, in Person S County. We have ceased calling jon our 'Northern" boys. Now, i there busy bodies are crying for | good teams from our local high | .schools. It, seems that some stout-heart - !ed gentleman should inform Ins i Person County cohorts that good athletic teams are the results of i a good recruiting system or a i good “feeder'’ system, as evi denced by Roxboro High School always contenders in’their district and great teams like the Brooklyn Dodgers. University of North Ca- I rolina. and others. Beware, citizens of Person County, of any so-called lead er who would curtail any op portunities for your children, ! because they do not have your interests at heart. And your great county that was recent ly awarded the Ist prize for progress in North Carolina would soon drop to the bottom of the list under the guidance • of such individuals.
