JCPS functions as a re search, informational, and service program designed to provide technical assistance to Black Elected Officials. Dr. Frank D. Reeves, Exe cutive Director of JCPS, in terpreted the new data and roster of Black Elected Offi cials as "evidence that Blacks are gaining clout more and more in the nation's electoral system." Dr. Reeves, who also serves aa a professor of law at Howard University, noted that in spite of recent gains, Black officeholders represent only 3/10 th of 1 (one) per cent of the total of 522,000 elected officials in this coun try. "The increases in Blacks elected to public office repre sent an encouraging and sig nificant trent," Dr. Reeves, said, "but Blacks still have a long way to go before they realize their ftill representa tion in Government." Since the first survey, the number of Black mayors and vice mayors have increased from 48 to 81. Of these 81, 38 are located in ten southern states. There ire 69 Black mayors and 12 vice mayors. In the 11 states of the old Confederate South, the broadening scope of Black political involvement is re flected in the increasing numb er of Blacks elected to public office in these states. The February, 1970, Sur vey listed 563 Black office holders in the South. The cur rent figure of 711 is an in crease of 26 per cent. South Carolina, during the past year, registered the larg est and most dramatic increase of any southern state. The South Carolina total increased pixea * SAVINGS ...

I would hope that the Mayor's office would be able to devise an appropriate mechanism for do- H ing this. The same applies to other possible resources in the community, especially our young people. 1 would like to see Durham give participatory der ocr •_/ in government a real try with the hope that the results might become a model for other cities throughout the country. With such join efforts in "pulling together,"! be lieve we could move Durham forward at an ■ accelerating pace, and in better balance. In today's world purely provincial thinking and concerns are grossly outmoded. Most of our 'ocal problems are related in some way, directly or indirectly, to state, regional, VACUMNO and national problems, and in some respects to international situations; hence, our thinking and concerns must be ever expanding to fully encom pass and deal intelligently with them. As Mayor, I would seek the cooperation of the City Council in introducing additional innovative measures and procedures involving more of the citizenry in productive programs. ■ The more widespread the feeling of a vested interest in our city and its its government, the greater and broader -f II be the interest in protecting it. Everyone should be encouraged to have a feeling of "belonging" in a "government of the people, for the people, and by the people." True, this smacks of idealism, but life void of the drawing power of an ideal may ■ easily become stale and/or aimless. I ' would like to help bring the people closer to the government by taking the government closer to the people. Hopefully, the Mayor, accompanied by other appropriate officials, would make periodic visitations to the various H areas of the community for firsthand knowledge and reciprocal benefits to all. As many of our citizens as possible should be motivated and rhaHenpert to constructive efforts, and provided opportunities for appropriate responses. It has been man's response to challenge that has taken him from a cave to a palace; from ignorance to knowledge; from savagery to civilization; from poverty to wealth; from disease to health; and from slavery to freedom. Today bnnas Durham the challenge! What our tomorrow and the tomorrows that are to follow will be like in our community will be determined by tt» responses! to otherwise improve Ameri can society.
