Tarheelia is watching with
much interest the outcome of le
gal maneuvers, for and against
plans, for a private school and
funds under the Pearsall Plan of
j Pupil Assignment, now being way
| ed by a group of people in the
j Hallfax-Warren County line who
; call themselves Halivar Indians.
After attending Negro schools
I for years, the group withdrew and
j financed its own private school
i for about 200 pupils last year. This
; year they have requested funds
j for support of a private school
They were recently re-assigned to
Negro schools. They apparent.]’
have their appeal on the way to
the courts if their requests are
denied. School authorities have
granted the pupils assignment
forms.
Over in neighboring Northamp
ton County a group of citizens
j identified as being Portugeuse
have had their own school for
sometime thru special legislation
—by their own request, according

Forty years ago, there resided
; a community of fair-skinned cei

iof Western North Carolina who
i would not accept a dark* skinned
i teacher for their school.
Years prior to that the writer s
i father, B. Harren. (Henderson
; County native and teacher oi the
! area for many years) found that,
out first-hand. He was sent to th ••
school (sight unseen) on Friday.
The “committee" got into a
huddle after several had seen ‘the
new teacher’ and informed him
that the children “would be afraid
to go to school to him” because of
his dark complexion. He returned
j to Hendersonville for a new as

We must meet the challenge.
LIKE WHITES. NEGROES have
their good, bad and indifferent,
qualities and attitudes toward life
and things around them It is cus
tomary to think that only Negroes
neglect their cemeteries by allow
ing them to grow up in wilderness
A striking example of such neg
lect on the part of whites is indi
cated by the much publicized fact
that Halifax County and Enfield
ciUzens-reiateves as well- of the
late Gov. John Branch (N. C. 1817-
20) was allowed to grow up into
sn almost unpenetrable thickoty
forest near Enfield. This, despite
tiie fact that Branch was also gov
ernor of Florida. U. S. Senator and
secretary of the Navy. Happily, the
town's Jay Cees have taken steps
to correct the reflection upon the
community
This reminds vs that Walter
White- always contended that “we
(Negroes) are just like any other
people-good, bad or indifferent.”
The percentage of us in either class
or category depends upon the econ
omic condition, education acquired
and extent to which we have beer,
discouraged thru enforced segrega
tion from life's better things.

St. Matthews A. M. E. Sunday
School opened at 9:30 A. M. with
Mr Win, Tate as superintendent.
T Sunday School was well attend
ed with many visitors present. The
Sunday School and church will
have a picnic on Aug, ZOth at At
i mtic Beach, S C. Come out and
,io;n with us on the trip.
The morning worship began at
'.1:00 o’clock with the junior choir
charge cf the music and Miss
Margaret Holt at the organ. Tha
' iioir was at its best in singing. The
mission:.rv convention had just
■ losed at St. Paul A. M. E. church,
so, at the beginning of the service
we were favored with a splendid
report frem the youth mission ry
by Miss Gloria High, who was the
<! legate and was elected to go to
Detroit as a delegate in the near
future. Mrs. Rena Carmichael gave
a splendid report as delegate to
the convention.
The pastor. Rev, G W. Trouble
field, chose as his theme, The Vic
torious Life I Have Won. He strer.?-
od that it was not enough to ack
nowledge God in the secret cham
bers of our own souls. To gain vic
tory we must declare the faith and
service by working s.nd to know
that Christianity is neither * cere
mony or creed, but a life vitally
connected with a living Christ.
It was a powerful sermon as Rev,
Troublefiftld always preaches. The
service was well attended witli
many visitors. At 3:00 p. m The
Evening Five, Mr. Ed Hall ia
charge, were with us. The quartette
sang beautiful and everyone pres
ent enjoyed the service. Our door*
are always open and we welcome
you at all times.
