meeting was to bring the or
ganization some of the problems
that are likely to be of deep
concern to local system in the

The highlight of the meeting
was the information given by
Rev. Kelly O. P. Goodwin, pas
tor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church,
regarding the possible effect of
Winston S*l*Tn*s annexation
population upon the present
number and size of wards. A
fuller diaouflsien of the ward

next regular meeting on Thurs
day, December 6th.
The United Civic Organiza
tion is made up of representa
tives from various social, re
ligious, fraternal and commu
nity organizations. Its aim is to
promote increased interest in
registration and voting; to
serve as a clearing house for so
cial and political ideas of the
community and to work for the
civic improvement of the city
and county.
At the meeting Friday night,
president Lassiter presented

Encouraging remarks were
made by Rev. R. B1 Pitts, pas
tor of Shiloh Baptist Church
and a BIr. Chambliss, a trustee
of the church. Lassiter asked
those present to work to make
the organization a success and
blessing to our people. He
thanked the people for the fine
cooperation they have given
since tKe organization was start

The United Civic Organization
went on record as being against
the Pearsall Plan and through
it’s efforts, Winston-Salem was
the only city in North Carolina
to register It’s vote against the
plan.
It is hoped that all the people
of Winston-Salem and Forsyth
County will make the Decem
ber 6th meeting a big one and
a good one. The United Civic
Organization’s watchword is
“A Voteless People Is A Hope
less People.”
