of the schools I wonldut vote for him to go.”
Continuing his argument of reason. Mr Car
mgr said, ‘‘The sooner a few Negro children
n:tn these schools and the public finds they
arc just like other children, the sooner the
whole thing will be settled.”
We are not attempting to try the Holt ease
here Joseph Holt, Jr may never enter the
Broughton School. We are confident, however,
that Negroes will attend that school and the
other presently all-white schools in that area
We regret the delay in the Holt case because,
■'verythine considered, there is no valid reason
for denying his application In this a* in
so many others, reason, logic, law «nd even
time are all on our side. * temporary delay
will not miminire these facts.
It is apparent that although he decision
of the hoard not to admit Holt to the Brough
‘on trhoo! wr « set bark, the victory of thoss
evaders was a hollow one A victory noth out
♦he dignity of either a legal or « moral right.
And Negroes every where should rejoice that
one of their race bad the courage and intelli- *
genoe m hold up the majesty of the law before
time who were ignoring it and remind them
that it was their duty to make their decision
in keeping with the law."
Kwh member of the Raleigh school Board
din voted against Holt’s application is a sue
■ cssful person Their success has been based
on their devotion to law and order and it is
very unlikely that either of them has ever
knowingly violated or ignored the law. Their
outstanding achievements, their valuable mn
jnbiittons to society and their well-ordered
lives all bear witness to their dedication to
law and because they know that it is onh
through obedience to law will the things they
believe in prosper and continue.
To assume that the plea of Mr Carnage
tha* the law be fulfilled fell on deaf ears simp
1y because of the board's negative decision last
week, would he to underestimate the power of
his plea and the faith his hearers have in Us
truth. That plea that the law be fulfilled, can
not and will not go unheeded, Mr, Carnage's
words will continue to haunt the consciousness
of those board members until they become an
unbearable burden to them, If his argument
could have been refuted it would have been re
fated that day. If the wisdom and logic of his
plea had contained even a small element of
falsity or illegal foundation, that element, how
ever small, would have been quickly pointed
out and discarded.
men and women, whom, the modern world now
call? 'old foggies" did not hesitate to invoke
the wisdom and guidance of God to help them
rear their children in the straight and narrow
way. Praying was not s thing done in secret
The Father’s blessings were implored in the
presence of all the family and family worship
was augumented by regular attendance at
Sunday School and church. Children were
taught and required to be obedient and re
spectful, not only to their parents but to their
teachers and elders and woe unto that chdd
who forgot his manners while away from home
and parents got word of his misdoings
Love and courtship were deemed necessary,
hut. promiscuous loving, wild and loose pet
ting parties were neither advocated nor tole
rated Children were allowed to go to places
of amusement, entertainment was not frowned
upon, but parents did not go to bed until their
children were home at night and that did not
mean that the parent? set up all night wad
ing for the children to come home
Pena! institutions and houses of correction
are running over with wild and wayward
youth, youth that never had or who have lost
the protection of home training,
There ha? always been "Scarlet women",
harlots and prostitutes and ''loose"' women
They have been around since time immemori
a). In past times this type of woman was more
or less marked. They chose to live in a man

were forced to pay for their indiscretion by
having the finger of shame constantly point
ed at them Thts was not done in mockery hid
was for the protection of those whe were striv
ing to walk in the straight and narrow way.
Maybe one day, all of these modern trends
and doctrines will be found so wanting that
mankind will he glad to go hack to the good
old days, old customs and old usages. When it

BETWEEN the LINES
VIOLENCE AND VANDALISM
A terrific wave of violence
and vandalism is sweeping over
this nation. In spite of our fab
ulous outlays for schools and
d-K-tion we are heading into
a situation that must br reliev
ed t' this nation is fn endure
Wuh the slightest, provocation
the mob springs into action and
the resources of our police pro
tection are sorely taxed on far
too many occasions The ugly
situation that prevailed in Chi
cago is repeated entirely too
often for things to be well with
the country
Mobs m this country have en
joyed many immunities and es
pecially so where the mobs act

Althouhg things are getting
better the current outbreaks
concerned with staving off in
tegration *re becoming formid
able end menacing and the re
e-.ij’r = t nf levy enforcement, are
becoming more and more taxed.
From dry to day it is difficult
to know when and where the
mob may strike The mobbista
know that there is certain safe
ty in numbers and they ere
tempted to operate with free
hand in ths activities of the
mob
It -an hardly be doubted that
the immunities hitherto enjoyed
by the mob help to explain the
current, wave of vandalism that
is afflicting our country News
paper accounts of vandalism
have become routine and there
are indications that things are
not growing better, but. steadily
worse Churches and schools and
libraries ate nightly feeling the
fury of the vandals
The latest account that a li

oi if, Emerging Problem
Os The Aged
The older population is con
tinuously Increasing in the
United State* In 1900 only
four per cent, of our population
was over the age of sixty-five
Today eight per cent are over
sixty-five And, it, is estimated
that by 135(5 over ten per cent
of our population will be over
sixty- five.
Historically the great, prob
lem was to keep people alive.
In the Paleolithic Age life ex
pectancy was eighteen years, in
the. days of Julius Ceasar, 25:
of Julius Ceasar. twenty-five;
in the days of George Wash
ington.. thirty-five: in the days
of Abraham Lincoln, forty-five;
and currently severity. It Is
estimated that the day is not.
of work These need employ
far when life expectancy In the
United States will be one hun
dred years!
Thus, the emerging problem
is not, po much to keep people
alive as it is, what to do with
the living ®specially the aged.
P vtdenc s tend to point out
that our aged are not properly

our country is face fa face with
a wave of lawlessness that
should awaken serious concern
in those who would save our
nation from destruction
Vandalism and violence are
becoming a major problem of
this country What is even more
alarming is that the mobs and
he vandals are being ted by
•lur teenagers We are told that
gangs are roaming the streets
of New York and other cities
and -ire playing havoc with law
and order

agers did to death, scores of in

will even have more of a field

but dangerous. We have ssovra
to the wind, the doctrine of let

way and now w,® are reaping
**'» whirlwind of violence and
vandalism which are threaten

We do not believe that the
immortal John Dewey ever in

follow uninhibited their imma

At any rate the current point

ally, many of the aged m fik

However, there are other
needs of the aged: They need
recreational facilities suited to
their age. They need literature
to read anted to their ages
Many of them are employable
in certain categories of employ

easily trained for, certain types

standing and. sympathy. Ths*? j
need to be given i feeling of be
longing and not a feeling that
they are apart from our on
going society.
Obviously the problem of
providing for the aged of our i
population cam* upon m so
quickly that we are not yet j
prepared to handle it. effective- ’
ly, „ , But I have confidence in
the people of the United States
that they will handle this prob
lem like they have handeled

When once the people as ths
United States become •wars
of a problem, they have always
set about to deal effectively
with that problem I am, thus,
confident that increasingly
we of the United, States shall
provide for our aged more of
the basic things of life* than
we are now providing,
