PAGE BIGOT THE CAROLINA TIMES SATUBDAT, JULY 23, 19S5 WEST DURHAM JOCIALS ^ ' By M. Louise Stephens X)n Sunday, July 10, J. M. Schooler, principal ol Whitted School was guest speaker at the Red Mountain Baptist Church of Rougemont. The service was sponsored by the Usher Board of the church and Mrs. Schooler’s address on “Some Problems As A Parent Sees Them” was very inspiring. FIRST MEMBER — Peter Lane, center, recently was elected a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Dallas, Texas. He is the first member of the race to receive this recognition. Text Of Resolution (Continued from Page One) declarijif racial sein’e^ation in the public schools to be nncoB' Btitntional; and in a subsequent decision of May 31, 1955, /wbicli dteectcd tliat prompt and reasonable steps be taken to desegregate the public schools. Dr. Lake is familiar with the Supreme Court’s attitade; and WHEREAS, Dr. L Beverly Lake tried nnsuccessfnlly to divorce his views as an assistant attorney general from the views of Dr. I. Beverly Lake, private citixen, the dignity of the offices which he holds, both as Assistant Attorney General of the State of North Carolina an officer of the United States Supreme Court and the legal prominence which he has attained as one of North Carolina’s lawyers defending the state against des^egatlon suits, have never theless given many people the mistaken notion that Dr. Lake’s private views represent the official and thoughtfully considered policy of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of North Carolina; and WHEREAS, the legality, the feasibility, and the common sense of the proposal to establish a state wide system of private schools in a manner proposed by Lake is economically legally and educationally unsound, questionable, impracticable and apparent ly an attempt to circumvent the intention of the Supreme Court’s decision of May 17, 1954 and May 31, 1955; and WHEREAS, preponderance of evidence In areas where de segregation has proceeded with careful planning and with the full cooperation of responsible authorities and community leaders shows that desegregation can be accomplished economically and iHth a minlmnin of racial friction; and WHEREAS, as citisens of North Carolina, we deplore the ex istence in office of an irresponsible agitator who allegedly repre sents all the people of North Carolina'on the one hand, and who on the other hand, uses the prestige of his high office to stir up racial strife by advocating a proposal which responsible educators believe to be unsound; and WHEREAS, the best interest of all North Carolina citisens / would be better served if the spokesmen in the office of the Attor ney General adhered with dignity and responsibility to their sacred trust to interpret the law according to the rulings of the highest court in the land; and WHEREAS, Dr. I. Beverly Lake has demonstrated a disin clination to abide by the rulings of the V. S. Supreme Conrt; be it therefore RESOLVED THAT WE. the ExecnUve Committee of the North Carolina Conference of NAACP Branches, respectfully request the Honorable Luther Hodges, Governor of North Carolina, to take whatever steps are necessary to remove Immediately, Dr. L Bever ly Lake as an assistant North Carolina Attorney General, to re pudiate his ill-conceived views and to urge all North Carolinians to act with reasonableness, promptness, and courage la the de segregation of the State’s publltr schools. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution shall be sent to the Honorable William B. Rodman, Attorney Gen eral, to the Honorable Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, and to Dr. I. Beverly Lake, with the hope that Dr. Lake will be retired immediately to private life and there given every op portunity to make political capital out of his race-batting tactics. This the 16th day of Xuly, 1955. N. C. CONFERENCE OF NAACP BRANCHES By: Kelly M. Alexander, President, North CaroHaa Conference of the NAACP Branches.

GIL1J8 District Scoat Ezacntlve WHAT MAKE BOYS, TICK? Here were two early ado lescent boys, the kind we find in our Scout troops, whose in terest in a very fine program was lessened by a leader with sincere intentions, who didn’t imderstand early adolescent boys and girls. How much better it would have been had he stopped and smilingly re marked, “Thanits for the ap plause. This program I’m an nouncing is worth every bit of it. You’ll see, when you come.” Scouting has a wonderful record, but its achievements must live in boys. The pro gram is only a printed page until it is incorporated into the life of the boy. Its success- fnl leaders have been and will be those who get the spirit and the content inside the boy. This can be done only by those who consciously understand iiim and are playing oh his side, rather than against liim. What does this mean? What are some of these basic under standings that a Scoutmaster should have about boys? 1. Scoutmasters must re cognize that a boy is not a small adult. He is a boy along the way toward t>ecoming an adult, and there are definite etages though which he will pess and clusters of charac- l'tistics that are generally common at each of these stages. The beiit way to help a boy grow up is to help him live successfully and enthusl- ustiaaUy at the stages where ii.,' is at the present. Only when he feeU successful at waat he is doing will he feel able and willing to move to- T.ard greater -inaturity, 2. Scoutmasters should re- co^tise that growing up is not easy. A boy is not a blaaki page, ut>on which adults can write at will. He-is not living in a vacuum until the Scout ing program airives. He is al ready working on a ponder ous, exciting, mystifying cur riculum which his developing body is thrusting upon him, which his culture Is pressing upon him, and wiiich boys and girls his own age are deman ding of . him—a curriculum which is not clear to him. Any boy at any stage of his growth has far greater demands upon him for his experience and ability than has an adult. 3. Scoutmasters should re cognize that a boy wants to grow up, that the thrust of life is forward toward loving, learning, and becoming a re sponsible person. He is often blocked in this task by his feeling, and his behavior re veals his insecurity or lack of Self-acceptance. But once this block is Kmoved, he will move forward again. The ma jor task of leadership is to help a boy feel increasingly able to handle life. A boy with this kind of confidence will advance rapidly in any pro gram that makes sense to him. Boy Scouting enrolls a boy at age eleven in wiiat is about the last year of late childhood (years 9-10-11?. During this period, he is talcing his first steps away from the family roof toward standing on his own feet and away from so much dependence upon adults. Up to late childhood he had lived in a world dominated by adults and adult authority. He had identified himself with them and accepted their values. He had depended up on them for his sence of se curity. He was even possessive of them because they were so necessary to bk tecurity. This Returns to Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Miss Mary F.

Governor (Continued from Page One) NAACP Conference that U Mr. Lake felt called upon to play the dual role of being advisor to those who sought to evade the law of the land while he occup ies the custodianship of all peo ple’s rights he should at least resign (or be disi&issed) from his present position to that of private law practice. Lake who represented the state-in its brief to the U. S. Su preme Court last May, address ed an Asheborci Lion Club last week in which he advocated pri vate schools for the state rather than obedience y> the orders of the U. S. Supreme Court to in tegrate tibe scHools. Althouugh he claimed to have been speaking as a private cit izen, his actions drew protests from liberal whites and Negroes all over the state. The Raleigh News and Observer reputed to be North C^aroUna’s most pow' erful newspaper, in an editorial of Friday, July IS said: "Kn more recent days, Mr. Lake has been speaking much “unofficially” on tlila qqes- tion. He has stressed that he has been speaking in his cap acity as private cittsea and not as an assistant Attorney Gen eral. bi every Instance, how ever, Mr, Lake has bera ask ed to apeak on the school seg- regatlm question only because of his official relationship to it and he cannot divest him self of his official relationship when he speaks. Also, at a time when calm ness and deliberation are need ed, Mr. Lake's speeches, parti- cnlarly one at Aaheboro this week, seem almost calculated to incite the extremists on both sides of the segregation qnes- tlon. And anyone who gives fuel to the fires of extremists at this ttane does no private or official or mixed service to the people who are trying to work out reasonable soln- tions to dlfficBlt problems." The report on Dr. Bishop and Grandmaster Carnes disclosed that at a meeting of the Pearsall Committee both about-faced when queried on the matter of integration. Bishop was report ed to have told the committee when tisked point-blank about it, "I think we ought to drop It.”^ ABlced farther tf he thought any suits would results, he an swered emphatically, no. Carnes is also reported to have talked quite different before the wiiite committee from what he said last spring in Durham. Re portedly he delivered a kind of ‘sermonette” to the Pearsall group, following which the chairman is said to have inqtiir- ed of him just what he did mean to convey by his discourse. Starting again, he was stopped by the presiding officer. llie Reverend Louis H. Wade who will preach at the Monnt Vernon Boptlst Church Sun day morning. Rev. Wade, a Shaw Vnivenlty Theological student, is a Durhamite.

Federal Court Jurisdiction Attorney Robert L. Carter who argued the appeal on be half of Mrs. Flemming declar ed that there could be no ques tion as to the jurisdiction of the federal court. He contend ed that the bus driver in en forcing the state segregation statute was acting as both bus driver and officer of the state. Mr. Carter contended' also that the bus company was charged by the South Carolina statute with the duty to enforce the law. He argued further that the recent Supreme Court de cisions had swept away all support for the separate but equal doctrine even as applied to intrastate commerce. In handing down the decis ion today, the FourtJi Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the South Carolina state seg regation statute, reversing the district court’s decision and remanded it back to the low er court. ’The decision in this case is highly signficant in that it means that segregation in lo cal streetcars, buses and other means of transportaton can no longer be enforced. The Four th Circuit Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over the states of South Carolina, North Caro lina, West Virginia and Mary land. Unless the U. S. Supreme Court reverses this decision in these states, the circuit court ruling of today can be applied. ded the fourth and fifth grades In the city schools of Raleigh and graduated from the Junior College department of Saint Augustine’s • College.
