STILL ON THE RAMPAGE (Overly A Factor ■ fe Hj|(i Irie d • The efforts of Dr. Andrew .■%. Best t» arouse NTcRro citizens o{ North Carolina as- to the hiffh rate of illegitimacy, illiteracy and jKiverty ainonp their people, esj»eciaHy in east ern North Carolina, should receive the sup port T)f all go(xi citizens. The newly organiaed North Carolina Joint* Council on Health and' Citizenship will {fo far in decreasing the high rate of the three scourges if Negro leaders will fall in liehind Dr. Best and give the or ganization both moral and financial support. The Carolina Times is happy to felifcitate Dr. Best for his efforts in bringing into be ing an organization, that can mean, the dihiin- ishing if «qt tltfe. wiping out of illegitimacy, literacy and ])overty among Negroes in North Carolina. If the meeting held in Green ville on Sunday, October 9 was able to let white citizcns of the state know that at least some of its Negro It-aders are intttTested in trying to solve the problem it has served a great purpose. As’ was brought out by Dr. Samuel D. Proc tor. w'ho addres.sed the gfoup- »s«eml»kd- i» Creenville, ilicptiraacy, illiteracy and poor health are not racial traits but are usually found whe^;e there is poverty. The fact that Negroes are generally left on the ou^ side looking in when it comes to the better paying jobs in the state should be carefully cwutidiencdi when any plkui f«r the eraHication o£ tlw problems is btin^ considered, the economic level of Negroes is to be im^ pcovtdk the NC'JCHC is certain to have an uphill struggle in its program^ This newspaper would like to' see Negroes included as clerks, stenographers, bookkeep ers and otherwise employed in state, city and’ county governments. Employment of Ne- gnoea as highway patrolmen, tax evaluaters and coHiectors are other fields in which Ne groes as taxpayers and citraens should be con sidered; As it now stands,, only two cities in North Carolina are employing Negroes as fire men; only thtee counties eiiiploy them as deputy sheriffs, jailers or even as convict guards, as revolting as such employment i». In spite of the good intentions of the NCJC HC, unless Negroes can improve their eco nomic status there is littlt hope that it will be able to im]7r®ve to any degree the ratp of illegitimacy, illiteracy and uovCrty now exist ing among Negroes in. certain se'ttions of! the stot«i Alon^ with the lectures of Dr..

But evenfcj of the last two years suggest that ia order to win complete equality, the Negro is going t» have lo shew more responsibility than his opportunities aad naraially would warrant. ‘tnegBo Htadlerghip> k> b^nning te neaiii^ that it is not 4noug|) to blame every Negro misdeed on segregation, or .to pcctend that inieg^tion will be a cure- all for every social proklem in sight," Rowan’s article, “Are Wegroes Ready For Equality?.” says that the i>fegro i» paying moee than he «an atford for his attitude to ward Negro crime.

HAROLD ROLAND Mission of Preacliers Is To Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ Register Now So You Msjf Vote Nort MorA The hour is fast approaching when this na tion will be called ilJ)on to choose a new presi dent. The event which takes, place every four years on the first Tuesday in November should be tiewed by every intelligent'cjtizen of th| United States a^ among the most important of his life. For thoee of mitjqrity groups, espe cially the Negro, exercise of Voudg rights has a double importance in that it is the suifest way that his Vote can be heard and his weight felt among governmental affairs of this na-- tion. To fail to exercise that fight therefore. will leave the Negro as an impotent factor not only in protecting his own rights bnt in sRap- ing the destiny of tnillions of otliers in this country and the world. Whatever j^rt^iis'^ictarious, the next Ptesf- dent and members of the next Congress are sure to read the election results and. note the number of Negroes who voted. It therefore bccomes tlje individual responsibility of every qualified Negro man xnd woman to. register and vote in the election on November 8. It is not jwssible for all of u« to as^t in the campaign to secure a million new Negro voters in this comitrj' but each one of us can mak- the task easier by going to his own polling plac^ and'‘’VcJting. Don’t wait to be urged, c(jaxed or lagged but do this of yonr own accord, what^^er your party affiliation. You must remember that the exerci^ of your right to vote is one of the most cherisked pri vileges that can be conitrr^d' npon a citi^n livitiff under a o£ gjbvera- meqW Undier no efircuiAn|||j^B Muiet you fail tor^ereise.it. ■■ jr'- yoi»r- ■ aeiT yott- ca«' Wip' to get . otners to do so hy tiw telephone / andl calling at letttt p^l^itt,.>nd jirging them to register it .iJfey not Steady done so, a!td to vote on- l^tovietnber 8 if they have/'Urge tberii to regijst$n'-^iiid vo^e and to call five other persons in By so doing a cHain reaction’ can be staefted that will re- siilf^n~tRoasands 6t othef? regTstering and voting who would not. TFhe Democratic Primary in May saw the Nqjero vote a deteritaining factor in defeating ope of tl^ iriost anti-Negro candidates ever to run few public office in North Carolina in mochrrn times. From a national standpoint tht Negro vote can become equally as important in selecting the next president of the United States, \i^ith this in mind we again urge ev*ry qualified Negro- man and woman who has not done so to. register and then, vote in the''election to be held next month. Tht books are njw open and will remain open Saturday, Octpber 22 and ^ in order that those who h*vf not done so may have the opportunity tb register so that they can vote on November 8. If you. hav^ not registered you owe it to ;|(OurseU and your race to register and vote. "Paul wa» ocfupiad with preach* Ing . . , that the Christ was Jesus . , . Acts 18:5. God has used preaching for the saving of a lost world from sin. Preaching at its best is a spirit - inspired proclamation of the word or with the aim of bringing lost souls to a dMision about the saving of ^heir souls, ^eetive poaching is fed by the pas^onete flames of the Holy ^irit. tt there to no spirit, there can be little etj^tive ^reachii^. Thert' arextMTO essewMela of ef- Sective prewhing—the preacher must be redeemed and sanctified. The preacher must have a per sonal experience of Christ as Savior. And the preacher also must be indwelt by the flaming power of God’s holy spirit. Paul had these qualifications as be came to Corinth a long time c';o. Thus, it was said of him in the text: “Paul was occupied with preaching . . . that the Christ was Jesns ...” Preaching, therefore, must be Christ-centered. Christ is indeed the central theme of effective preaching. Leave Christ out and what reason - do you ii8v» preaching anyway? There is none whatsoever. Paul, with the flam ing zeal Cl the spirit, preached Christ and him Crucified, Christ must be preached tothe soul, lost in sin, if there is to be any sal vation of the lost. Yes, we must preach Christ, the power of God, unto salvation, Christ, and Christ alone, has the saving power needed to save sin ful souls. Thus,' whenever and wherever Christ is preached by a redeemed-sanctified soul, re sults will be forthcoming. Christ must b^' preached if we are to ^;i^eaUng tof, t|te soul-sickness Christ, rattier than fancy the ories, must be preached. The mil lions who leave their comfortable hemes and come to church each Lord’s day come not to hear fan cy theories. Why do they come Sunday after Sunday? They come to hear a preacher occupied with X^"—icUng Jesus Christ as Sav ior o£ a lost world. 'They come to hear about God’s redeeming love in Christ Jesus. They come from a cold, lonely world seek ing tht warmth from a fire kindi- led by the Holy Spirit They come to see one occupied with pecachiHg who knows Jesus in whose soul there is burning the Heavenly flame of God’s blessed spirit. Fanciful theories may be all right-in their place; but peo* pie come to church to hear a preacher. “Occupied With preach ing . . , that the Christ was Jesus . , , ” ' Christ must now have the pre eminence in preaching so that humanity might be rescued from the brink of its disaster. Christ- centered preaching turned the tide in the dark of old, Christ- centered preaching captured the ancient world. Holy men preach ing a Christ-centered gospel can turn the tide and rescue bumait- ity from its impending disaster. Spirit-filled men preaching a Christ centered Gospel can save our worlud., Let us preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God and see what the results will be. God will bless us with a rich harvest of redeemed souls. HOW MANY In some states highway patrol cars carry a painted sign showing the current fatality toll, something like “195 in 1999.” Ope day, when a trooper stopped for a light, two small boys walked toward the rear of his car. The trooper was startled to hear one of the youngsters say, “Let’s see how many this one's killed.” Twelve eapsules a day of a com bination of concentrated liquid fats markedly reduced elevated blood cholesterol in a group of twenty patients—and was most successful in those whose start ing levels weie highest. These results with a new pre- cription drug called Lenic are re ported in the current issue of POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE by Dr. Irving Hirshleifer, chief of the cardiac clinic. Kings County Hospital Center, and faculty member of Downstate Medical Center, State University of New York. The drug is produced by Crookes-Bames Laboratories of Wayne, N. J. "The observed itsociation of a4hereselere*i« with diiluriMd bleed lipid levels it stallttieeily sifnlficant." Or. Hirshleifer noted. (Atherescleresis, the clogging up of arteries with wax-like cheletterol, li consi dered a forerunner of coronary artery disease.) Because of this relationship, and because earlier studies had shewn that. ^o-caUe^ ‘jlpnsaturat- ed” liquid fats in the ^t would reduce cholesterol Isvels. Dr, Hir shleifer undertook to test the concentrated capsules in a group of ambulatory patients. Eight were diagnosed as arter iosclerotic and/or having hyper tensive heart disease, three were diabetic, and nine belonged to families with histories of hyper- choIesteMenila. All had been on rigid diets whii^ were relaxed for the 12- weBk period of the Lenic test. One patient. Dr. Hirshleifer re|Mrted, had a cholesterol le vel of 4M (280 It considered tM tep normal figure) and al* so tuffered from recalm itrant angina pectorit fer which the toek nitreglyceriMy" . . . the Lenic regimen and ^ lest re* tlricled diet," he wrote, "the gained five poundt, decrated her terum cholesterol ... 22 per cent and claimed that ni troglycerine tableU could ba dispens((d with for the first time in five year." Another, a 50-year-oId diat>etic man, had a cholesterol reading of 420 when treatment was b# gun. Twelve weeks later, Dr. Hirshleifer wrote, “his level had dropped to 197 . . . Thereafter, there was a gradual rise to 359 . . Th9 administration of Lenic Cap sules was then resumed but at a lowpr dose of 2 t. i. d./4 a day/. In two weeks the cholesterol level had fallen to 245. ...” The twenty hypercholesterole- raic patients averaged a reduc tion of 21 per cent, with the high est dropping most. I One of the twenty had a 16 per cent rise—from 269 (slightly above norma}) to 312. Dr. Hirsh leifer points out that such rise may be accounted for by failure to maintain the diet which called ior avoidance of bitter, cream, 410(1 other “saturated” a^mal fats but permitted limited hmounts of whole milk, boiled or poasched eggs, meat fish and fowl with fat trimm^, and non-rich des- aertii. > The four patients with normal cholesterol levels — 290 or be low — showed an average rise of 13 per cent. In discussing these results, Dr. Hirshleifer n6tes:“Tlie^ athero- seiierotic handles fats differently from the healthy subject .... This probably explains our fail ure to significantly change the cholesterol levels in our normal patients.” The fat in twelve capsules of Lenic, he points out, is equal to only 84 calories, and can be com pensated for by eliminating t slice and a half of breat. The Debates Between Presidential Candidates Snail s Pace of School bitegration Alright in Principle, But They Ckxid the Issue Justice Under The itut For The Indians It now appears that the Harnett Coanty Board of Education will have to adHiit t'.ie Indian children to the all-white Dunn High School and that under a federal court order. Thus it now appears that what members oi the Board sliould have don« voluntarily be^ cause it was morally right they are going to be forced to. do by law. This fs unfortunate. It is unfortunate when one considers that with all of-our preaching and- pious ehweh affiliation it ai>pears that a majoritj of »s have never iml^ibcd one iota of the spirit of brotherhood as'taught by Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago.

When we note the bare knuckled television fig|its of both candidates on the same stage discussing the same issues, it is much like the pugi listic contests in which the vic tor’s hand is raised in a desion of victory. The fact that a vic tory for either contestant is de pendent on the spectator rather than an impartial third party trained in the ways of political warfare, presents a question that few observers can readily cope with. ' The issues that effect the coming presidential eleci'ieii' and' are outlined in the ntaf. forms of both candidates ware at firtt expected to draw iMtfi oppoeition and support far candidate! in certain section.

A recent debate gave more than the .usual amount of time to the question of civil rights. The fact that the audience was na tionwide-meant that some losses would be expected by either can didate if issues were not squarely met. T^ fact that the vice presi dent. hid acciised Senator Ken nedy of avoiding the civil rights issue when in the south gave op portunity for Senator Kennedy to make the same accusatiom When faced with the natidh both were, given opportunity to give their intention on civil right, To pciilt out that both candidates hit the issue squarely would be con fusing the average voter. What should. l>e noted however is that the method of implementing the present laws differed. Senatot Kennedy proposed executive lead ership in the solution of the civil: rights problem, while Nixon west a step further in stating that the Attorney General of the United! States would be empowered ta^ take action in such matters. This we would consider an answer to the opponents of civil rights.

It would be more of an cecasioo for self-congratulation if the orderliness meant that the South had given up its massive grudge and that Negro childrMi were attending white schools in stea(U}y growing numbers. Such is not the case. Two Ne gro giVls entered a white high school in Richmond, Virginia, One girl was admitted to classes in Dollarway, Arkansas. Houston admitted Negroes to^ classes “under protest and duress,” But the over-all' picture was one in which legar stratagems have kept eomplisnce with court orders to a bare minimum, Thare aM 747 tchaal dittriatt In. a t««aRfaen*Ma area with tease aart ai intagraUen. ^t, at Southern Sehael News am* pkaslaas, tlie actaal nganbei; ef Negreee eHanding. integrated tctkaeh ramaint at about si^ Rer ceat- oft tha Neairo pepvla* tion.

But the snail’s pace at which integration is being achiev ed makes the bitterness of young er Negroes understandable and dees nothing to persuade them ^ that the rule of law is superior to the rule of demonstration which some of them have fruit lessly tried. There is, fortunately, consider able evidence that reasonable Scutherners are wearying of the endless legal skirmishing, and even more of the inferior quality of the education being foisted on their children by makeshift Schools and the closing of entire districts. This reasonableness it cool and not idealistic in motive, but it may hasten the creeping pace of integration where all the exhcrtation in the world will not do so. 0 — CANCELED Highway patrol headquarters in a Midwestern City received the following letter: “bear Sir—or, to whom it may concern: “This is the second time 1 have sent this correction notice in. “A manth a«a I wrote to your oMiee requesting a duplicate cit^ tion for a traffic effease ti whiun 1 was guilty ef. “I ceuMn't go to court and I didiyi have tha $14 required at ttia time.
