C. fATURDAY, Ar'RlL O. «*ti 2-A A New Approach to fhe to Pfoblfcft The address of former - Governor- Luthcj - Hodges delivered to North Carolina's Good Neighbor Council here Wednesday and com ments bv Chairman Watts I iff ~ Jr., which followt'd the former governor's address, should be enlightening to miiSy* ■TuWoftizens' oT * Durham and encouraging to all,r>f its Negro citizens. Both the former.-governor and- Mi\ Hill sounded a new and a most intelligent approach to the race problem from that so often "Jnade by many leading white persons when di cussing such)matters. '* The "three R's" approach." Wfere'd' by Mr. Hodges,— "ready, reasonable and rjght,"— is a far cry from that so often proptisvd' by' white leaders of enual stature. The "three R's" f t 1 advice that North Carolina must be "ready for al| eventualities, reasonable in its attitude and r. glu in its approach to race relations," shouh be tarefiilfv followed by those now respoi sible for charting the future course of the st ite. Mr. Hill's remarks, in which he called for The South Should Learn A Lesson from Atlanta Progressive North Carolina citizens should take a|second look at the charges of "discrimi nation and severe economic pressure^ 1 brought againjt Charlotte. l\v two Negro physicians wbiclJ caused them to pull up stakes and leave the utiles largest' city artd move to Atlanta, Georgia's largest city. That a Negro of any status would find ra cial conditions mors acceptable anywhere in Georgia—recognized as a deep South state- — than in so-called "liberal" North Carolina, is disconcerting if not embarrassing. Ne gro cJtiz; us for -many years have looked down their {loses at their fellow racemen in Georgia with ;in air of, how do you stand it? In short they jiave considered the entire state of Georgia a veritable cesspool of race hatred and If go try. Although Atlanta, with its very liberal, pro gress!',e and intluential daily newspaper, the Employment of Negroes on the Highway Patrol Gov. Moore's traffic safety program, as revealed in his address to a joint session of the General Assembly tk»i.-!&st Wednesday, should have the support of att-intelligent citi zens J>f this state. The climlnjjg death rate on" the highways' of" North Cafnhna has reached* the point where it is appaling. rf the legisla tion recommended by the governor will serve to lower the death rate on the highways of the state we are of the opinion that, in sj»i4#*» of the $4,345,273 it will cost for the \)iennium. ** it is a small price to pay. to.make the high ways of the state safer citizens. \\ sile we are on the matter T»f the govern or s highway safety program, especially the Addition of 200 men to the State Highway Patrol over its present -number, we would like to remind the governor and all concerned that the state does not employ a single Negro citizen in the capacity of a highway man It is our feeling that North Carolini' ' has Reached the point in its development of interracial goodwill the employment of Negroes in its highway patrol department ' p f WWBraffPII HafflTfately Needed Oik- of the problems faced by those deeplv interested in traffic safety is that not every one feels the same sejise of urgency about it. Some feel that much of to mfcn is simple justice—:we,aJl &sesve wjiat we Jet. Others are appalled at what we do to dfmh animals, saying that at least humans' " can complain when thev are mistreated. Others are fnore worried about what happens to our elm frees. Others nre concerned with the tem perature of their beer or what's on TV or what s playing at the movies. l r :sch is most concerned with what af/eots - him land his family directly and at the mo men*. - , , ' Those concerned with highway safety, on the 4ther hand, are distressed mostly because •Uclj loss of life is entirely preventable.

In time the remainder of (ieofgia is certain to feel the influence and benefit from it. . With the present severe shortage of doctors, especially .Vgro doctors, it Is unfortunate for all the citizens of Xb/th C arolina, that it had to _ lose two physician's because of the dis crimination that exists in Charlotte. It might not be a bad idea for «n>me of the (»ther cities in North Carolina, including our own Durham, to examine themselves with an eye toward fentoving some of the false bar riers that attempt to sustain discrimination and that the anatomy 0 f a.

' ' i ■ We would therefore || ike to suggest* to Gov ernor Moore, that he recopiipend that a propor tionate number of Negroes be included in the additional men he ha* recommended for the ... ri/i j • » int highway safety patrol.

We must live according to the pull of heaven while we still reside in this earthly house of clay. Here is the agonizing point of man's ten sion and conflict. How can I live the life of holiness in the midst of unholy circumstances? How can I walk the highway of spirituality living with my em bodied passions? This precarious state is for man a hot spot or a spiritual' tiuhtrope. Man seems , to be unable to IK'e the life of the spirit without God's help in this earthly tabernacle, the body. . Spiritual man ever stands on ' the narrow precipice of poten tial peril. We must be realistic and admit the ever-present dif ficulties of spiritual man, the one who is born of the spirit of Cod.

With God's help we can make it in this great, frightening struggle. Jesus ran the same race successfully. He has led thfe way. We have the same resources— God's mighty resources at our disposal.

Then take courage and run and fight on a little longer, knowine that with God's help you can win the victory C'' ' > One great help for spiritual man in his difficult struggle is to pray without ceasing. Prayer is an indispensable keeping oow er in this struggle of spiritual man while he Is in % flesh. Is this the reason Laubach calls prayer the greatest weapon in all the world? Is this 'vhy Jesus tells us to pray without ceasing? Isn't this the reason that Jesus in this decent from apes or fish. The idea ".vas to plan the curriculum after finding out how man would re act up in a tree or when confront ed with water. Some of these pres sures were mild, but we have been subjected to violent pressures when the country was involved in moral and economics issues. Edu cators have been told that they responsible for crises and must do something about them. In times of crises the schools are inevitably attacked. Mrs. Dawson declared that if education must serve our soe'ety it must be free and independent of the blandishments of any one group, pressures from economic, social and ethnic groups *ho want to shape the curriculum to their ideas. The responsibility of educaticn is to all the people and not to any one version of truth. The responsibility of the schools is to search for the truth, she con cluded.
