Saturday, October 9, 1971 Section B 8 Pages YOUR PICTURE-NEWS WEEKLY I jj^^ WORK FOR WOMEN'S JOBS—Doris Wooten, left, reviews comments from the public on the Labor Department's proposed order to require Federal contractor's to develop af firmative action programs for hiring wom en is the Acting Chief of the Division of FROM BLACK By JOHN HUDGINS In the Black community in Durham, unfortunately, most of the drive toward liberation has faded into the world of rhetoric and self glorification. People who were once hell bent on revolution, have re gressed to militant rhetoric and are for the most part plain colored americans. Institutions that were set up to dean with the oppression of Black people in Durham have moved, been brought off, or have stopped working altogether. In 1968 when I first came to Durham the thing that I noticed most clearly was the constant activity of Black peo ple boycotting, marching, demonstrating, even rioting. What happened? Has the op pression ceased? Today, even the colored peoples association has nothing better to do at its meeting but to sing and pray. Why? Were we serious in 68 or was it just a fad, a game, a joke? Let us just attempt a bird's eye view of what is happen ing today in terms of libera tion. One organization that was most active in protests across the state through grass roots organization, has fallen prey to Black Capitalism (sometimes called community capitalism). I'm sorry, capi talism is capitalism is capi talism is capitalism. One wonders if a people can use the same tool that was in herently designed to enslave, to liberate themselves. Can a man use a screw driver to cut wood or a sailboat to get to Creedmoor, I suggest not. (I'm open to anybody who dis agrees with this accusation, to show me otherwise). We have another group which has moved which can do nothing more relevant than to extoll the virtues of an ima ginary Africa. Brothers who fail to realize that when you have a very small weapon and you are trying to kQI a huge monster, the closer you are to the beast the better your chances of destroying him. In 1968 there was poverty and deprivation in Hayti. Today there are Red, Black, and Green buildings in Hayti, but there is still poverty and depri vation and hunger and exploi tation and .... Today in Durham there is very little concern for anybody save self. The beauty of what we thought was togetherness is no longer. To be sure there are still those of us who still talk bad, say all the right things, but there is no action Technical Services in the Department's Of fice of Federal Contact Compliance and is responsible for coordinating sex and religi ous discrimination and job testing programs. Assisting her is Carolyn Alston, a secretary in that office. and only action can liberate. There was a man called Jesus, they tell me he cursed a fig tree and it died all by itself. Black people we can curse america all we want to but she ain't going nowhere. Let us think seriously about where we are and what we are doing about it. Let us examine our selves, our jobs, our goals, our dreams, us, are we the same people that existed in 1969. Are we just empty words? Are we really serious? Is it true that all we really wanted was a chance to be like them, be self centered, to be capi talists, to be fanatical idiots. Today we have greater pro blems than we had in '6Q, drugs, Attica, George Jackson, school destruction, poverty program cutoffs, Richard Nixon and his buddies, and the rest of them. Even youth to day seem to be unconcerned about our heaven and have we quit? I don't know, but I'm worried, are you? Let's talk about it, and deal with them, and survive. Workers Join Protest In Japan TOKYO Japanese textile workers joined management '■ver the weekend to protest any governmental agreement restricting export of their products to I lie United States. An estimated 1.500 workers staged a demonstration ill Tokyo Saturday, pledging a prolonged protest agai n st government enforced restric tions on noncotton exports. The United States is seeking such agreements from Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. Under a banner saying. Protect the livelihood of two million textile workers." some of the protesters marched to the Diet (parliament i building. The Diet convenes Oct. 111. The workers are members «l 'ho 580,000 member Jap a n Kederation of Textile Workers Unions. Textile industry leaders pledged earlier to light any agreement, arguing that self imposed restrictions on exports to the United States, which went into effect on July 1. had not been given a fair chance, Japanese newspapers quoted industry and labor sources yesterday as saying they would work to topple the government of Prime Minister Kisaku Sato if it entered into an agreement with the United States. The Nixon Administration is reportedly demanding accords on exports under the threat of mandatory quotas beginning Oct. 15. The U S. negotiator, Anthony .lurich, has been shuttling between Japan, llong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea for the past two weeks meeting with government represen tatives. Whe Carina Ciwo Writers Confer With Dr Tolberf In Liberia By JOSEPH B. TAYLOR Two American ladies' writers last week conferred with the Head of State, Or. William R. Tolbert, Jr. The two American Negro ladies came to Liberia to authenti cate their research on a book entitled "Feta and Her Fami ly" with an African setting. The book is to reveal to the people (races) of the world that regardless of geogra phical location the family is the pivot of any society and that children all over the world are basically the same. Through the inspiration of the late Rev. Emmett T. Browne, the pastor of the Mt. Vernon Baptist Church of Dur ham North Carolina, who was a personal friend of President William R. Tolbert, Mrs. Nannie L. Stewart, Director of Public Relations' Writers Fo rum Inc. and Mrs. Helen L. Lindsey, author of the "Little African Book," received a cor dial welcome from the Presi dent of Liberia. The two ladies wee deeply moved by President Tolbert's most unusual nobility of spirit and genuine sincerity as he brilliantly endorsed the galley proof of Mrs. Lindsey's book. Dr. Tolbert praised the most worthy accomplishment of Dr. Browne's wife; Dr. Rose Butler Browne in whose honor a Rose Butler Browne Foundation is being estab lished at Rhode Island. Dr. Browne an American Negro lady writer has achieved both national and international recognition for her untiring efforts in the firld of Educa tion. Her book "Love My Chil dren" has been published in French under a program of the United States Information Agency. It is to be distributed in all French-speaking Africa, South East Asia, and the French speaking Islands of the Caribbean. While in Liberia, Mrs. Ste wart and Mrs. Lindsey visited the Education Department, the Family Planning and the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Eta Beta Omega Chapter, which enthu siastically endorsed the Soror Rose Butler Browne Founda tion. Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Lind sey who left last Sunday for the United States were guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Hill of the Family Planning Association in Li beria. DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA "Duty Of Old Women" | By DONALD LOVE ,Y I used the phrase, "old wo men" because the Bible used it. I could have said young women; The Bible used that alsol I used old due to ex perience, the roads have been traveled by them and they know the shortcuts, the better ways and the know-hows. In the beginning, God is sued duties to the man, wo man and serpent. It was they who were responsible for throwing things out of gear. It was they who did what God said - don't do. So God issued out different curses to each one of them. The woman, first of all, was made for man and not man for her. Her second role, to be a helpmate for her husband and last but not least, replin ish the earth by bearing chil dren. This one of her curses, was the most dreadful one. We have some marriages, the woman takes over and does everything. By so doing, the husband is forced into the backseat or in second place. In many instances, if the wife cannot operate from the driver's seat, that marriage is dissolved. There are many ways that homes operate far different from God's plan in the beginning. There are homes, the hus band really takes over. He demands his mate to take the backseat and boasts that he is is the driver right or wrong. Often physical force is used to see that she stays in her place and that is in the backseat. God has been misinter preted by both man and wife. God gave man a helpmate be cause all of his creation has one except Man. He pitied Man and said: "I will make Man a helpmate and so He did." The role of a woman is to be a helpmate, a leaning post, a problem solver for her mate. YOUR MIND JUL WILLIAM rTT "^" n " Tyrannizing Deprives Children's Morale I have heard many discus sions about dealing with chil dren. Some people say chil dren are not raised up like they were years ago. Many grown-ups have told how their parents raised them, and the hard times they had when they were children. They even tried to compare their childhood days with the younger genera tion of today. It interests me because I deal with so many minors every week. But when I hear someone talk too much on the negative side of our children of today, I'm forced to try to bring out my ideas and feelings about the sub ject. Speaking of children, we can start with understanding them. Remember we were once children ouiselves, there fore, we have experienced that stage of life. What do we ex pect of the younger ones as they follow through the paths we came over? We wouldn't look for them to ack like an adult, think, or be at the stage of maturity. Just think! They didn't have anything to do with coming into this world, and when we look at our children, we are looking at an off spring of our own flesh and blood, and observing the oncoming future generation. So why blame everything on them when they don't act or do like we want them to. I know you can remember when you were a child, some of the things you did the.i, She is to let her mate know and realize that this is her duty as his mate. He in turns learns to depend on her. They both learned, that they are not two anymore, but one and they form a unit between them. As women grow and gain experience, it is their duty and responsibility to pass back, hand-down or teach the young er women their responsibility and their duty to their mates. St. Paul, wrote Timothy about the young women in that day. Ist Timothy 2:1-15. Paul also taught Titus, another young minister, preacher or an apostle. The firm stand he should and must take to get the message over to all. Titus 2:1-15. Once we as Christians, do our Christian duty, stop trying to mix unrightousness with rightousness, we will have better homes, better families, better communities and it will be a better world. Women have always been the first to believe, to accept and stay in their re spective places. When Christ arose from the grave, it was the women who believed first, it was the wo men who checked, not to see out of curiosity but to be a witness and the first to con fess, Christ did rise and they were the first They were the first ministers of that gospel. You old women, do as God expects of you, teach the younger women, love their husbands, work with them on all levels. Teach that the wages of sin is death but the .-gift of God is life eternal. It is your duty, it is your re sponsibility to be a guideline and teach them to stay in the borders of rightousness. Al ways let it be said, not by your own children, but by all children; "If I could hear, my mother pray again." you wouldn't do nuw. You can see that children will al ways do childish things. I wouldn't dare to tell any one how to raise their children, but I can give some warning on depriving their morale. When I hear parents say that their children get on their "nerves" or "bug" them, it brings the following three things in ny mind that can lead up to keeping their younger ones from having a good mental health condition, such as courage, confidence, and enthusiasm. First, it's not the young sters all the time. It could be some disagreement or misun derstanding between the pa rents which caused their ten sions to rise. Therefore, the least little thing their children "do" or say, they take the spite out on their kids by being tyrannical (cruel) to get things off their own chest. Second; they don't want to take time to face the facts of taking the responsibilities of • meeting their obligations, that's required to raise their children, and give them the proper home-training and edu cation so they can have the qualifications and require • ments to face life in the future. Third; some parents could be trying to let other people share most of their burdens by shifting their children over on their own relatives, neighbors, school teachers, or perhaps re ly on their older child, to help them escape situations to Hfe. ■ 1 ju !i ; n /vfl H jj9 Bk V Hf > * yJH Hi k llmf fl V 9 r.tiu ■R lA B^. ■V ■ I x HSfesjts^^,. ,^cw»>^«^,? NEW FI.AUTIST SlGNS —Petite Bobbl Hum phrey (center) one of the first female flau tists in jazz, signs an exclusive contract with Money to Aid Oak Island, But Won't Buy Bald Head Oak Island will have a tem porary bridge by Nov 1, but Bald Head Island probably can't be bougnt with some unexpected federal money, Gov. Bob Scott said Monday. Discussing coastal island matters at a press conference, Scott said that a temporary span for Oak Island, off the Brunswick County coast, would be in position in a month, but a permanent bridge is "a long time off." The island, which includes Long Beach and Yaupon Beach, lost its span over the Intracoastal Waterway several weeks ago when a barge smashed into it. There were complaints from the 800 permanent residents that the island was ignored by the state during the winds and waves of Hurricane Ginger. "Many people felt the state was not acting fast enough in this situation," Scott said. "Many wanted us to put up a pontoon bridge over the waterway." But the federal government wouldn't allow it, he said. "It would stop traffic on the waterway." Scott pointed out that he put ferries into operation and ordered state helicopters to stand by for emergencies dur ing the hurricane weather- But the island couldn't qualify as a disaster area, he said. "Sure, it is an in convenience, but there is no make their own lives easy. All the above things I have mentioned comes from self experience, with dealing with the public a long time. Also the three things I pointed out to you are just a few of the important experiences I've ac tually learned when I was in the field of direct selling be fore I became a manager. I believe mo6t parents could influence children, if they would take more time with them, and talk in a manner that they got what it takes. Children take notice of every* thing, and they like people who have a nice attitude. Finally, I believe tyranni cal parents can quell their children's morale shouting and tyranning causes youngsters to become depressed; and feel like they are not wanted. It can make them dread to go home when they are out, a«d will cause them to further withdraw seeking love, atten tion, and assurance from some one. Remember, a child can become emotionally disturbed from too much anxiety, and they will be able to cope with life because they need pro tection, guidance, and the most of all their parents. Local, State and National News of Interest to All Blue Note Records as lab*- 1 director George Butler, and his assistant CaroK-n Camnbell look on threat of loss of life." Said Scott: "In view of the complicated factors involved, the state has moved along very well." It would take six months to design a new permanent bridge, and many more to find the money to build it. Scott said. The governor said he saw little chance that the state could use a larger allocation from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund to finance acquisition of Bald Head Island across the mouth ... rT M ■L^aw/' I ■■g '-v' V MIMI® V mmmm w \ ■ MRS.
