THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
"The price has hoen paid. Surren
der yourself to God."
Vertical integration in farming
means producing a commodity un
der contract, often with the sale
price guaranteed.
Poultry is one of the South’s fast
est growing farm enterprises
Trisect and disease control are im
portant to all farming operations,
livestock as well ac crops.
Evaporation loss of gasoline stor
ed on the farm can be reduced
fcy „twn ■ thirds if the storage tank
Is placed in the shade.

“LEST WE FORGET’”'
ROCKY MOUNT—The Negroes l
in Tarheelia can. well say in the
I words of a not too recent popular
; song—" We’re come a long way- \
together, but we still have a long ;
i ways to go.” And, ‘Lest we forget'
j too soon, as we are prone to do; j
| and as many whites want us to
do, we should well remember that j
stony has been “the path we’ve i
: trod, ’til now we stand at last j
where the bright gleam of our!
1 bright star is cast.”
Lest wo forget, Roy M. Brown, j
1 RUr. 2, Chapel Hill, has reminded !
us last week in a letter to the j
"Bull. City” Carolina Times that j
he was a member of the original j
I n. C. Commission on Interracial \
\ Cooperation committee which i
sought, and secured the right for j
j Negroes to ride on public trains- i
! portation buses in Tarheelia dur- j
j mg the 1930’5.
Many colored and whites cur-1
; rently could hardly believe that
our state had been so'Stupid dur
ing the past thirty years as to
want tn deny the right to ride
public buses to Its colored peo
ple! Likewise, many could hardly
visualize white children riding
| school buses as .Negro children
| trudged along in the mud until j
j their elders scraped and pooled :
their meager funds to buy a bus j
! for ihem to ride.
Now that the fear of integration i

tmts (especially those who frw
i facing the test of equality of
training, work and responsibil
ity) think we ‘have arrived" arid
should fold our arms; stack our
' swords and “study war no more."
That is far, far from the case.
,We must keep on fighting and
; qualify for the integrated, future
which lies ahead.
Even tho we now have the right
! to ride practically unrestricted (if
i we’ll but contend for it). thei a
is much more to be done, par
j ticularly in the political arena.
Wherever a Negro is running

We humbly call on the colored
and white citizens of Edgecombe
County and Tarheelia in general
| to not longer neglect, the memory
of this colored leader. His home
i is due a marker by the State just

The Courthouse mall in Tarboro
