Paragraph from the manuscript of a prominent Negro Educator:
“Don't say we didn't tell you that our hterarchal leadership would be
pressured by the ‘powers that be’ to take it easy, to stop following the
leadership you have elevated out of ycur own ranks and to fail back
into the patronage-seeking attitude prevailing in days before we af
filliated with NEA and decided to grow tip professionally.
Hie evidence is everywhere vlsable throughout the state that many
with the shortest vision, with the least progressive outlook, with the
most expressed fears of taking professional risk, are gaining in pop
ularity, This is an ominous sign and needs to be read for its true
meaning. Their tribe should not, increase in influence at a time when
forward vision, progressive outlook, and professional commitment are
tiie least common denominators of needed progress.“
Parts of Raleigh were once a big grape vineyard and many kids
worked there to earn school money. Even today, many old timers refer

distant icicles and tinsel on your
Christmas tree.
Do keep your Christmas tree in
water or sand from the lime you

cut. across trunk base before set
bug it up. Place the- tree in a «>*
tci -containing holder and fill it
daily. Remove dry tree from prom

For disposal of gift wrappings,
keep a waste basket handy.
Don't attach too many light

Hodges said he was very much
encouraged by the state’s econom

'9O days ago '
The encouraging reports on farm

because “we hero in Noth Caro

agriculture."
The governor also Had pent so for
Colvard and older members of the
.State College School of Agricul

changing conditions in the farm
