jgT I Km I JEROME HARRIS Durham Man Makes Success Operating Shoe Shine Parlor It *u back in 1920 that a young man, Jerome Harris, landed in Durham fresh from Troy, North Carolina, where he had lived for several years af ter leaving the farm in Wades ville, where he was born and reared. Soon after his arrival in Dur ham He got a job as a truck driver for a local ice company, and -worked there until 1927, when he decided to go into business for himself. With on ly $lO capital, Harris rented a place and opened a shoe shine stand at Sl4 East Pettigrew St. the same spot in which he is now located and in which he is rounding out his 38th year. From the outset, Harris set a high standard for a shoe shine shine stand. He allows no loitering, profane language nor loud and boisterous talking.

When he started out nearly 40 years ago, he only had one shoe shine stand which accomo dated two persons. He still has one stand, but it can accomo date ten persons at one time. Even so, his customers quite often have stand in line before they can get waited on. In addition to shoe shines and dying shoes of all colors and shades for both men and women, hi s establishment, which is known at Jerome's Place, carries a full line of candies, smokes, soft drinks, newspapers and magazines. Harris is Married to the for mer Miss Emma King of Green, ville. They have one adopted son, Willie Earl Harris, age 11. E. R PALMER WRITES ON NEGRO TEACHER DISMISSAL IN NO. CAR. By I. B. PALMER Recent developments In the problem of teacher dismissal in North Carolina have indicated some relief in the once rapidly developing trend to displace Negro teachers in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Put reports indicated approximately 500 Negro teachers faced loss of Jobs as a result of the adverse practices of many local school districts. Though the figure may have been reduced slightly, the majority of cases still hang In the balance. What is the True Situation Today? Today, another angle li being pursued. Some areas are testing the "test"—what, happened in other section wmcn Have at tempted to avoid complete com pliance with Title VI. In these situations contracts are still being withheld until after June 30 at which time students must have applied for reassignment. Teacher assignment or release to be made thereafter In July. While a great number of teachers in the state anxiously await the verdict of those au thorities who already know the outcome, others are even lew fortunate, for they have al ready been informed of their non-re-employment. The NAACP through its at torneys, C. O. Pearson, Juliut L. Chambers and the North Carolina Teachers Association recently filed a suit against the Pitt County Board of Education in the dismissal of Mrs. Martha Moore of Green ville, North Carolina. On Fri day prior to the Monday court date, Mrs. Moore signed a con tract with the Pitt County School System for 1965-6®. In Lenoir, North Carolina, the Board of Education was ad vised of leeal inquires and pro ceedings. Many of the 15 Ne gro teachers previously notifi ed of release, were re-employed to teach in integrated schools. Some still have not been re employed. The same is true of Asheboro, North Carolina. The unfortunate part of the problem is that many teachers in other sections of the state are not truly aware of their own pending situation. While they have been recipients of contracts, they are not aware that such contracts can be broken up to thirty days prior to the opening of schools. Such has been the experience of the teachers in Red Springs where contracts were issued and re called. The critical areas newly be ing affected in particular seem to be HendersonviUe, Robeson County, Tryon City, Caswell County, and Wake County. Some contended that Wake Co. is not being affected. One situ ation in particular causes a question to be rfised. If Berry O'Kelly, a Negro school with a staff of twelve, has been com pletely closed and the staff ad vised that could "apply" in the county, are they Involved? Superintendent of Public In struction of North Carolina, Dr. Charles Carroll, in a June news release pointed up the fact that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did in fact mean the de segregation of facilities and that locals had to comply in order to accept federal funds. Dr. Carroll's position in this regard has gone a long way in Alleviating the potential of the problem. The National Educational As sociation adopted a resolution, called a meeting of representa tives of Southern states in At lanta in which guidelines were addopted, is in constant con tact with U. S. officials with re eard to problems of dismissal of teachers, and has been 4s quested to send an investigat ing team into North Carolina in order to determine advise ments on procedures in the pro blem. It is likely that the NCTA and NAACP will be joined hi the suit in Asheboro, by the U. S. Justice Department. The FBI has and is making investiga tions were compliant* have and are being made. Vice President Hubert Hump hrey has indicated the Inquires will be made by his office into the areas where discrimination is being practiced and is bit terly opposed to any action which involves unprofessional practices and or unfair treat ment of its members.

Joseph Duncan, North Carolina State Director of ATA, has stated that ATA is in sympathy and agreement with the actions as taken by NCTA. Concern is raised by a mo-1 tion which ia being advanced that Negro teachers come from inferior schools by and large and therefore are inferior in preparation. The soundness of this allegation is highly chal lenged. The state schools of North Carolina (Negro and white) have for the most part met theaccreditation standards of the State of North Carolina and the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Col leges. The curriculum of these and private schools must in clude state prescribed subject areas in order that individuals might "qualify" for state certi fication. These are the institu tions which are preparing most of the state's Negro teachers. Many of these institutions in state and across the nation have had integrated faculties. :!■ '> * '^l HL» i.
