It means that they can s, ’rve you more promptly and more efficiently. This means that you will be treated courteous ly as you have in the past. It also means that you should strive to show the same spirit that they show. You should strive to be more tole rant, more business like and above all, more polite. We have to admit that a bank has but one way to make money. It has only one item to sell and that is money. Those of us who have need of that money must also bear in mind that the money belongs to the depositors and when W( have cause to us? it. we should be prompt, in paying it back. A bank obligation ; just, as big an obligation as food. rent, recce ation and clothing. This new.’ and modem bank was built to serve Raleigh and community, ’e f us all treat it that way Feel free to go into the hank and when you have need of its «erv- y —.;mf r m urr it. Tt dcs riot n'.attrr whether your business is large or small, the personnel wil! give you the same courteous attention. There is one other point that argues well. Mechanics and Fanners Bank is an institution that was founded and built by people of color. It has withstood the greatest depression that th- world has ever known. It. has thrived amid obstacles and hinderances It has grown in mite of criticism and sad indictment. Today the Mechanics &• Farmers Bank, of Raleigh, is a living symbol of racial sodlidaritv. The people of Raleigh, of both races, should be proud of it. Let us show our appreciation by attending the grand opening on Thursday night and let us help to continue its growth by doing business with it in a business-like manner. Mat their way of life was different and in many ways, strange to the people they had moved among. Adjustment had to be made and made rapidly Their needed and hurried adjustments had to be made under compet lion for employment, for homes and for rec ognition as human beings. American citizens if you please. with all the privileges and respon sponsibilib.es that these imply. That adjustments based on mutual under standing and respect have been worked out by arid for these Negro migrants, worked out to such a degree that racial clashes in those rr - gions make national headlines, is a tribute to tnc Christian spirit of tolerance that has been displayed by God-fearing men and women of both races. It. is an accepted fact that racial clashes in the regions above the Mason and Dixon line are the exception rather than the rule. It is no more than to be expected that so much rub bing together of elbows in large industrial plants, in factories on playgrounds and in housing areas will naturally, generate heat If this heat occasionally bursts into flames if should not surprise anyone nor cause the Southerners to point their biased fingers That adjustments can be and have been worked out on such a large scale is what really matter*. This is what should be pointed out to all who say it cannot be done. This accomplishment deserves and should receive the fullest pos Kihli publicity. Replying to Sen. Russell’s boastful and thoughless statement. Sens. Porter and Mc- Namara of Michigan and Sen Douglass of Illinois, two Western States that have absorbed a large per cent of the Southern Negro mi gration, admitted freely that their states have and are having racial problems. They told Sen Russell that thc-y do not seek to conceal rhese upheavals, but they are constantly seek ing to understand them. There is a solution to the problems of race in America. Those in the South who attempt to justify their mishandling of this problem of human relationship by pointing out the fact that other sections of the country have racial disorders, prove that they are satisfied with things as. thc-y aie and that they intend to per petuate their domination just as long as pos sible The fact that adjustments based on mutual desires to cooperate not only for in dividual good but for the benefit of society, have been satisfactorily achieved m so many areas o fthis land of ours that those who say these things are impossible say so in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, There is no intention here to minimize the great need for more understanding, more tol erance more goodwill and more love between all races tn all parts of this country. Com plctr and full adaptations and accommodations have not come they may not come soon or easily. But the thing for all of us to remem - ber is that they are coming. They are even coming in the South, all the Russells. Ervins F.nstlands et nl, cannot stop ihe inevitable tri umph of good God-fearing men of goodwill, regardless of race, can hasten that day by realizing that they are their brother’s keepers and by steadfastly seeking to find pood for themselves by serving iheii brother’s needs.

The same holds true of racial groups, ff we, are to be accepted and understood by race groups Gordon jB. Hancock s BETWEEN the LINES- TRANSPLANTED TROUBLE There, is no greater source of genuine satisfaction for repre sentatives of the Old South than interracial troubles at the North. They seem to think that interracial troubles in the North are a justification for any treatment prejudice may prescribe for the Negro in the South. When interracial trou ble brews above the Mason and Dixie line the southern press makes much of such trouble in their editorializing. Within the past few houi-s Chicago has become the scene of an ugly interracial situation and only great- precautions on the part of the legal authori ties hove staved off an inter racial riot and notings. Chi cago -seems to be dreadfully af flicted with those outbreaks and near-outbreaks, Sight, is too often lost of the fact that whereas thousands and thousands of Negroes have migrated from the South: It. i? also true that thousands and thousands of Southern white’’ have migrated also to the .lOiVltt! 11 Uvliiil.-* 1 Lc\i: CX.n eago: and let, it not be forgotten that wherever the prejudiced Southerner croon he takes along his race prejudice. Just, as the whites take their prejudice, the Negro takes his resentments and when these prejudices and resentments clash in the North, there is bound to be trouble. So the in terraria! troubles that crop out, here- and there about the non southern parts of the United States are really troubles trans planted from the South. In other words Interracial troubles in rhe North were fo nientod in the Bouth and trans planted North for settlement. This is not saying that there is not race prejudice is an al most universal phenomenon we are sorry to have to admit. England once boasted that the sun never set on English dominions and with equal truth if may be said that the sun never sets on the land that has not manifestations of race pre judice. But widespread race prejudice is no excuse for the brutalities thereof Too many southerners seem to reason that because there are race riots tn the North, in just,icer. and br Utah tics to N® props rip thereby justified. n does not follow at. all that be other than our own. the un dn-.i nnriing and acceptance will come through close tela l-ionship with these groups But, before we r m expect effective human relations with other croups we must have a sound workable program within our own racial group. Human relation? is no one sided affair It opens the paHi way to rood social living Wherever it exists you will find member; of each racial group striving to understand all oth er groups, and at, the same time putting forth every ef fort to make themselves under stood and accepted ft behooves us then to take stock and begin now to improve our human relations Our fight for equality of opportunity with other racial groups will nor. be effective until all racial bar riers within our own group have been eliminated To be absolutely frank we have among us too much self ishness and not enough serv ice. too much prejudice, not enough fairness of judgment; too much jealousy and emv, not. enough interest in one an other; too much fear, not enough leadership responsibil ity; too. many small selected segregated groups not, enough large group organization and participation, too much class distinction, not enough race pride. Perhaps you think the hu man relationship 'in existance among Raleigh Negro citizens is satisfactory. If so, then why have we failed thus far, to elect a race member to City Court oil? Why is there one lone little boy fighting to break tire barriers of segregation in our local public schools? Why is segregation on our city buses st.rl in existence when the Su predm Court has ruled that seg regation on public transporta tion anywhere is illegal? Why Is there no Negro representa tion in she North Carolina Leg islature? Do you agree with me on the idea that an all out program to promote better hu man relations sponsored by our local churches would he more effective than through any other organization? Would you agree that our shortcomings may he due to the lack of or ganisation. Cooperation, inter est in one another, unity, un derstanding. and spiritual lead rrship? Think what this city would hr- like ts each of ua elected to do a good deed for some one else each day, This is one wav to offer service. Another barrier which need eliminating is tealouyv. Don’t envy your neighbor’s new home, nice furniture, new car. or block his opportunity to get a tob promotion Be grateful about the situation, give him an enonraging word, a, slap on the back or a, push forward. When these things happen to one of us if i 3 an asset to nil It’s evidence that we are grow ing racially. ft is time for Raleigh cito stand IT n unite and h« counted among the great Th« first step forward, is to bierik ». link in the chain that binds you and your small Isolated croup of superior friends. WEEK ENDING SAT.. AUGUST 10. 1957. cause there, are race troubles In Chicago and Detroit, tl# op pression of she Negro In ths South is justified Back to the point, it must be observed that much of the in terracial trouble in the North was engendered in the South and transplanted North for set tlement The Negro who is not allowed to voice his resentment in the South is emboldened to speak up for his rights in the North feeling that- he has a chance before the law it not before the angry mobs. Tno often in the -South, the Negro is exposed to the mob on the one hand and to a prej udiced jury on the other and because of this he represses his resent..tents at what h® knows to be zub-cit&en treatment. But once he strikes Chicago and Detroit he feels different and is ready to strike back So it. s®ems from this vaa* Lee point that there is nothing in the northern interracial dis turbance? to give comfort to serious students of the slips- Non. At us no credit to the South that its interracial dis cords have to be transpla.ittod to the North for settlement by riots and rioting*. These, are due to the fact that .iust, os there are thous ands and thousands of Negroes migrating North with, their re mi merit- there are thousands and thousands of prejudiced wliit.es -i!,-,o migrating North; and when these thousands meet m the North there is one more interracial clash. W<= road -o much today about •he increasing tensions between the races as if everything high erto has been peaches and cream The Negro has been tease for hundreds of years He was tense tn slavery time but he could riot, indicate his ten sions. ’Die urge for survival repress ed his tensions but- they were there The underprivileged ar.d maltreated Negroes of the South have their tensions and their troubles, But within the rocent year-- the Negro has be -ni’ to openly divulge his Aen •’or-. and this it is that, mfcV.es thp whites tense The times are ten?* because instead of one race being tor.se both races are tense today and that is a rood sicn’ Transplant ed, trouble' h down and take the hand of a. if- fortunate black, broth r-r Bo far most of our failures have come through * lack of <-on -idei anon for the little mu' .Segregation within a. group will not work There has • n be unity, and cooperation, working and planning through laiae croup organiaztion and participation for all Don’t p xp°cf other racial groups to perform duties for members of your race, that you fee! you are too high and mighty to per form Attempt after attempt bn? been made to elect a race member to City Council; ar.d vsch time with defeat Two years from now there wifi be another such election. In my opinion we can win and will win It is also mv belief that in order to wm, the candidate must be a person who is as much at home and among friend- in Joe Louis Park as tn any other residential see tion of the city There must be a, good relationship between the candidate and ‘all" of ths people. If is not impossible to have 3 dynamic human relations movement among Raleigh’s Negro citizens. However, if such a movement takes place, it. will nave ♦/» originate in our 'oral churches. Can our churches forego money rais ing proiecta just long enough to get such 2 movement go on;” \v f realize that our lo <• >1 ministers have organized and ?ro working for the cause. The battle is too great to be won by miinsters alone. Each minister needs the full hack ing of ins membership, and in order to get that backing the members will have to kr-ifr what goes on at the ministerial meetings Therefore each min irtei could serve as a mediator for his church and the min isterial council Finally to Improve ®xtra t-cp relations among Raleigh's Negro citizens, may we suggest: 1 That our local churches unite their force.-, and initiate a city-wide extra-race relations program Thai all organ laztlons In cluding religious, civic, frater nal and social include some plan to improve race relations in Its program 3 There us a need for an advisory ..toff, consisting of well informed personnel who could be ready at any time to consult with any of our v&- ! iou 1 groups on any racial prob lem that might arise. i. If there is a campaign of political committee, that, it begin now to arouse a voting interest- in all Negroes. It, has been ?tated that tha ballot is our best weapon If this is true then the ammuni tion for our weapon must go As sist oi unity and cffectlvtfmr gamzation among our race. Let. ur not forget- that this is no ordinary battle. Negro I America is on the march to- I wai'd freedom Every Negro, j both great and small is a sol- I dier, end must be counted to.
