GOOD RACE RELATIONS LONG- ISLAND, North Carolina, is in, Catawba County and NOT in New York's suburbs as sc many People think. The principal claim to fame of Tarheelia’s Long Island village, iif indeed you can call it that) is a small cotton mill, a gen eral store, a U. S, post office and a few homes located on the west bank of the Catawba River at the foot of a hill where the Indians -fished 250 years ago, and buffaloes waded the river. BILL TURNER, NAACP LEADER W, M. Turner and wife (the for mer Miss Claudia Abernathy) are owners of a couple of small farme near Long island and have recently moved into their modern new b'-iek five-room home which is complete with basement, bath and water system as well as phone Mr Turner is president, of the Catawba County NAA.CP which startled the county by presenting a school desegregation petition se veral months ago. Turner lives in a community In which he is She only colored resident and his fam -1 ily enjoys the friendly cooperation of all the white neighbors around him. They have mutual respect for each other and the relationship is harmonious. During a recent extended illness of Mrs. Turner the white ladies of *he community visited her and ad ministered to her need in many - ways. Some even brought Christ mas cakes and goodies because ; husband Turner was laden with 1 farm and household duties having 1 to sit. up to give his wife medicine - night?. (Their two daughters are married and live in the north.) 1 A native of the community, “Bill'' ; Turner stands on the American principle of equal rights to every man; and tear of no man where a principle is Involved. Result; He 1 is weli-liked and respected by most ' people who learn to know him t well. Turner can tell you many stories of how his courage has been 1 challenged without incident. Turner has lived a few years in , the north where both, he and wife, worked and saved their resources to add tn their real estate holdings • and livestock operations. Presently milking several cows and selling 1 his milk to a national dairy con cern, he uses a “tractor-mafic” type • machine for his farming operations and has no work stock. (He owns 15 cows, a bull and several hogs. Many cows and hogs are registered stock) Despite his sixty-odd years,. Tur ner has much endurance left and can hold his own with most men, even younger, whether on the tractor, milking, raising or breed -1 tng cattle, or fighting for civil 1 rights. Turner has one cow named • “Rose”, which won a second .prize in Raleigh and also was a winner in a Richmond, Va. stock show. She became quite chummy with the 1 writer. Turner has trafficked in cattle with a comfortable profit, CAMP MEETING TIME The writer and his wife happened • in this Lincoln-Catawba County a rea just as the camp mealing sea son was beginning. August 4th was 1 Morrow's Chapel Methodist Cbur ; ch's camp meeting week- with its ■ attendant carnival of selling. The 1 congregation is pastored by Rev. J Q. Dula, and Rev. H. Williams, dist. supt.

Kennedy. About seventy children and relatives attended the birthday dinner. Already: campers’ were moving into their tents at Motts Grove Campground for the week's ser vice to begin August 13th. Tuck ers Grove camp meeting largest of all will be the 4th week in August. Thousands of people make sn annual pilgrimage to these three and two lesser such camp meetings, there being nothing else like them in all of Tarheelis.
