DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA nhTHILrAnTTARENHI X By DONALD LO\ E T Today we see children brazen or a generation re belling against parent. Haven't we all? It was once said by pedia trician, Dr. Madiaon Spach at Duke Medical Center, a child first learns to try and get away from the parents. When the child begins to crawl about the house, the mother or father will speak to the child by saying • don't go there or go in there, don't touch or bother this or that. The child knows exactly what you mean. To rebel against the parent or to get away from the parent, the crawling child will watch the parent as he ventures doing or going what he was told not to. When I was a child my mother would punish me for things I did against her will. She didn't spank or punish me by not letting me go this place or that place because there wasn't any place to go. She whipped or beat me with switches from either a tree or hedge bush. Burts I thought I would. She would tell me not to whimper. Not knowing the meaning of whimper, I thought it meant breathing. Once-in-awhile she would say, didn't I tell you not to whimp er? Here I go again through this not breathing thing. I loved her and respected her but was I afraid of the kind of whippings she gave! There were times I would have like to go this place or that or to have done something, but I stayed around because 1 knew what the aftermath would be. Wouldn't you like to know exactly what I thought of her at these times? This rebellious feeling was prfevelant mostly at these times. When I became grown and had a family of my own, I went through the same cycles with my children as she did with me. I, too, did not spare the rod. Children then and even now must feel the sting of the rod. Then it is very necessary that parents must believe and observe being even tempered. We must not overdo and we must not underdo. All children do not need the rod and there are those the rod does not do any good. The more the rod is used on that child, the more you will have to use it. In situations of this sort, other means of punish ment are necessary. One of the important as pects of bringing up a family is giving them the true basics of life. Their teachings should White House Conference on i Children in Washington, D. C. i ' Kodak's Steve Barley was the instructor for five different groups in Washington area children who wrote scripts, created backdrops, and direct ed, acted in and filmed their own super 8 movies. All of the include training in doing right and being fair and truthful. To teach this, the parents should practice and by so doing, it will be accepted by the chil dren. In our society, we believe in a top group and a bottom group. I've been a believer and taught my children to accept all of their playmates as good friends. If you are good, some of this goodness may rub off on them (in preference to hav ing some of the bad in them rub off on you). If your teaching has been sound and your living just as aoubd, tltateyour children can withstand the bad and throw it off. The international question now is, why are the children as they are? Why are they so rebellious? The answer is ob vious. You, as parents, have been either over-bearing or under-bearing. Your adult life before them has not been what it should have been and they reject your criticizing. In some families the chil dren get anything they want and go anyplace they so desire. This is bad for your children. Your own children will ask you why these have to be? The children must also learn to work and how to work. One day it will fall their lot to be responsible citi zens. Not knowing how to work, it will be a big block in their lives. Children should be brought up godly. Instead of sending them to Sunday School and Charch, go with them. Have family prayer with them, if Four Black Women's Sororities Join Drive Unite Race Members NEW YORK - Four na tional black women's sorori ties have endorsed the Black Women's Unity Drive recently launched by the National Council of Negro Women. Mrs. Elizabeth Proctor, grand basileus, "Lambda Kappa Mu" said, "We shall continue to stress the urgency and importance of the Black Women's Unity Drive as the means of collective action against the struggles we face in today's world."

The officers are: President, Audrey Kee; Vice President, Kat h y Holeman; Secretary, Cheryl Ruffin; Asst. Sec., Mi chelle DeJarmon; Treasurer, Deborah Holloway, and Pro gram Chairman, Kathy Amey. The girls were formally pre sented' to their sponsors, the Phi Delta Kappa Sorority after a week of initiation. The girls were selected from the area not regularly then once-in awhile. It is best praying for them and before them oc casionally. Let it be said by them after they are old: "If I could hear my mother pray again. If I could hear her tender voice and then, how happy I would be, it would mean so much to me, If I could only hear my mother pray again." From Alpha Kappa Alpha comes word," ... there is a definite need for us to take advantage of the collective strength of black women in this country." Mrs. Mattelia B. Grays, supreme basileus, con tinued by saying that her or ganization would continue to support the activities of the National Council of Negro Women as it provides leader ship for this worthwhile acti vity. These are but four of the national figures across the country who are answering the call to unity issued by Miss Ruby Dee, national chairman of the Black Women's Unity Drive. The purpose of the Black Women's Unity Drive is to unite under the umbrella of the National Council of Negro Women, the support and col lective power of at least four million black women in this country. Hie Drive will forge a strong link for black wo men in all walks of life. When black women can speak with a united voice, the nation will feel the impact of their power across the land to provide a better life for everyone. Pro grams are being initiated in local communities to eliminate racism, poverty, hunger, fight drug addiction, promote de cent housing and child care centers, and assume responsi bility for assuring quality edu cation for all. Emphasis throughout this nationwide Black Women's Unity Drive will be on main taining dialogue between per sons of diverse backgrounds and on dosing gaps between city and rural areas, middle class and poor. Mia Dorothy I. Height, president of NCNW said, "wherever the black Ameri can is handicapped, It frus trated , in a racist society, the National Council of Negro Women must be at work.
