WE CAN HELP OURSELVES IF
ROCKY MOUNT - We see a
bout us daily hundred* of little
things which we. as member* of
the colored rece can do to IM
PROVE OUR LOT if we will only
.'tor doing the things which DO
NOT.
When you read all the hlngs they
say about us - That we are unclean,
boisterous, filthy of mouth, lazy:
that we have low moral standards
and go for the gaudy thing* of life
rather than the really worthwhile
things like educating our children
and owning a moderate-priced
home and laving aome money - we
CAN do much to remove this stig
ma. In fact. WE CAN remove the
whole of the»e unfavorable com
plaints much of which is reprei
ably true WE CAN REMEDY THIS
If only we will do it
Let's Vie honest now and admit
It. Many tff u* are not anxiou* to
socialize with families with many
illegitimate children where even
grandmothers have never been
married and the children do not
even kr.nw who the father Is;
sometimes not even their mother
knows; and In rare cases a child
does not know hi* or her own mo
ther. And this NOT slavery-tune
when they had to do this type of
thing. ■'*
