2B -THE CAROLINA TIMES Saturday, S#pt 2, 1972 f Fr By JOHN HUDGINS ; [ M !; Too many of us are be ginning to talk about the two party system. What we fail to understand is that in this country the two party system is composed of that party which operates in the best interests of white people, and the other party which operates in the best interest of white people. Political battles are fought between the rhetoric, the fundamental natures are the same. The question for us then becomes which is going to do the most for us as a peo ple. Again the answer follows the fundamental nature of the two-party system which reads, that party which can do enough to keep Black folks quiet and disturb the least amount of white folks. Which means if a 14 million dollar poverty program will do it, that's what we get, or if a 14 million dollar loan for economic development (both so-called) will do it, that's what we get. The problem happens when Julian Bond is bought for the poverty program and talks for the democrats, and Floyd Mc- Kissick is bought for the loan and he talks for the repub lican party. This is compli cated when the rest of us be gin to take sides instead of understanding the principle of how each of us sell out. Young Julian and uncle Floyd are not astute politicians but dupes. Henry Kissinger's per sonal expenses are more than 14 million dollars, and they certainly spend more than that for moon shots or Smokey the Bear or something. We must understand that the basic poverty program came not from the goodness of democratic hearts but in response to Black rioting. That loan that Mr. McKissiqk has been promised (note) came in response to growing Black discontent in this country. What the media is not telling us is that many Black folks are getting mad.

The would-be-astute-politi clan must recognize that you are welcome in any party du ring election year cause your votes count (when you vote right). We must further under stand that if a candidate promises you heaven and Afri ca on a watermelon rind, he is free to tell you to go to hell after the election. For then he goes back to business as usual. Last year this time Milhouse Nixon thought and said that Black folks and white folks are basically different, and he started back to separate but Jim Crow. When Egghead Eagleton admitted he was crazy (well not quite) George McGovern asked everybody else who ran against him to be his vice president, that is eveiybody except Shirley Chis olm even though his wife had no objections. He didn't ask GW cause the doctor said GW was going to sit this one out. And speaking of cousin George we must recognize that he has done about as much for Blacks in Alabama as Nixon in California or Mc- Govern in South Dakota or wherever he came from. Blacks in Alabama ain't free and they aren't the only ones. Two-party or one party, there is no lesser evil, we either will or we won't play games with so-called politicians (con-men) from the white and the Negro (knee-grow) race (s). When we stop playing games and Ego-triping we can talk reality and deal with our situa tion. SOLD city and Bought Bond are speaking for the democratic and republican parties to us and not to wHte racist america for us. Keep that in mind.

If you have observed the ursurge of Family Reunk is in recent years, you should also be aware that the Black American families in this area, in particular, are undergoing a change in attitude; apparent ly, a great deal more interest is being manifested in family relations—more sticktogether ivness. Surely, the getting together of these families will produce more than tired, sore feet, sour stomachs and the incon venience of being away from home, that is, if you have to pack a bag and be away for several days. Perhaps the wide spread interest in better family re lations is the solution to the ■KG-; JHK .JH ffcJ J[ DE EDWARD WATSON pqrcholafical ills that beset moat families; at least a re tardation to juvenile delin quency; curb the high inci dence of crime; decrease the divorce rate and many other social evils caudng a decline in the status of the family unit.

RUSS Chad Hodges was with Effie when she died. He had left home before his famQy had awaken, and drove the forty-mile distance to the State Cancer Center at Lum bertown in time to have a 9 o'clock breakfast at Loftin Steak House. After nearly two montns of sneaking in and out of his own residence, he had be come conditioned to the ar rangement and no longer felt like an animal prowling around the neighborhood in search of food. Losing his job wasn't the end of the world, how ever, he felt that the world had tossed him off its surface and he had been in a state of falling into a deep, dark pit ever since his life's savings had decreased to a pittance and when thfe last of it was gone, he would be like a dope addict in need of a fix. He hadn't told anyone that he had quit his job.. How does a married man tell his family and friends that he has quit his job to care for his girl friend —his mistress—his out side woman? Why is it so difficult for a man to carry out his greatest desires and needs to the satisfaction of others as well as himself? If the success of his problem depended upon his ability to form a circle through which he might isolate himself with in it, he was incapable of forming such a circle. Chad parked his car in thp parking area reserved for visi tors and walked toward the gray stone building with his heart in his mouth because he was afraid of life. The life he had enjoyed so well had suddenly turned soar and he was left floundering aboui like a fish ou,t of the water. Effie was asleep when he arrived and the nurse politely informed him that his waiting inside the patients room would only increase his desire to awaken the patient—" and we have no wish to awaken Mrs. Jefferies at this time." Chad wasn't sure but he had a hunch that someone had filled the short, fat, cop per-colored woman wearing a matching wig with all the gorey details. All the while she talked to him, her beady eyes were stabbing and her nostrils flared and her teeth were slightly clenched. Chad resented her attitude but he offered no resistence. He didn't really care how anyone felt toward him for being concerned about his friend.

He could never reciprocate the love sue showered upon him, however, he planned to show his appreciation at the risk of life and limb. If he were foolish in the stand he had taken, he alone must suffer the devastating consequences; and as of now, he had climbed out on a limb that was being gnawed to a breaking point. Searching for a solution to his problem was like trying to visualize a circle. No matter how hard he tried to bring into proper perspective the causes and effects of his situa tion, the more difficult it was to bring into focus the sum total of his misdeed; or, his lofty idealism. Even when he tried to form several cir cles earmarked: right-wrong blameless, etc., he saw only segmetns or arcs or part or continuous lines-the search was futile. At the moment, he had no intention of begging Gladys to continue their mar riage. Besides, his wife was not one to salvage what was left and begin anew. She was a great believer in keeping everything in apple pie order if her system failed, she scut tled it and set up a completely new plan of action. No, he had no intention of fighting against her clinical-puritani cal independence. Seven hoips later, he was granted i' l ' permission to visit Mrs. Jefferies. The clinical of the Center, the hush-hush quietness, the knowing glancet everyone sent his way un strung him something awful and he was a little angry when ho entered Effie's white, airy r jom. Only the emaciated face of the woman he knew SJ well, softened the deep furrows of his forehead. Effie smiled and reached out to him with her wasted hands; "loverbird, I love you. I know you love me. Our love is all that really matters. Kiss me." Chad sought her chapped lips with his cold lips, but she guided them to her cheek. "I have nothing for you to catch—but—a kiss on the cheek is all I need now." She smiled faintly. "Loverbird—you have been good to me—l have fixed my business so you needn't have to work so hard any more—l love you." Chad did the only thing he knew to do at the moment, he took her in his arms and held her close to him. Momen- YOUR Bl m> ml CAN WE CORRAL NATURE'S FORCES? ' By WILLIAM THORPE —mmm— The man who spends his time getting promoted through pull and influence seldom is able to hold any important position for which he has not been fitted by experience. The same thing holds true when a person who reaches a goal though bluff and pre. tense can lose it just as quick ly, once exposed. One of the main reasons is because the forces of na ture and the forces of man require time for their unfold ment and develop'ment. That's why we can hurry our own progress only by a more earn est application to the work at hand. In the world of today we develop so fast mechanically and scientifically that it's hard for us to keep pace mentally and spiritually. The speed at which we are living is one of the tragedies of our modem civilization. Most of our youths are having experiences shot at them so fast that they can not begin to obsorb these experiences. As a result, they make many costly mistakes, which causes them to get in volved in persona] difficulties. Therefore, due to the' Bo ' l the experience and knowledge of mental adjustment to face life's happenings, they try to adopt a "don't care" attitude and. other ways and means to capture any of the temporary joys of this life. tarily, his closeness stirred the old flame of passion; but, the moment was shortlived and her body went limp—a single croaking sound broke the stillness of the white room and the togetherness of the lovers. Chad wept brokthly— his tears spattering the livid face of his sweetheart as he straightened her head upon the livid face of his sweetheart as he straightened her head upon the white pillow—her eyes were open 'and he used his trembling fingers to close BRUNSON'S * Home of Quality Products ZENITH DUNLOP TIRES MAGNAVOX FIRESTONE TERES TAPPAN DELCO BATTERIES KITCHEN AID BRAKE SERVICE | GIBSON ' ALIGNMENT ' HOOVER RETREADS Easy Terms WE SERVICE AND FINANCE WHAT WE SELL W DI about US?

Not only young people, but many adults have missed the real meaning of life itself, and decided that it's no use trying to preserve any ideals. It would be wise now to re member the things that were mentioned about this fast moving age as we approach the holiday weekend. And also remember that this uni verse is not in a hurry, it operates mathematically with tne same speed and rythem, also abides excellent according to the laws of the creator of this universe. This brings us up to the question: Wny can't we abide by the laws of our creator? In my opinion it is because of the fact of man's possession of free will and free choice in the world in which he lives without being isolated is given every opportunity on his to strive toward perfection by earning it through his develop ment. We have an eternity of time and place right here Hp.on this earth to do the things we choose whether it's good or evil. But by trying to do both, it has led us to the point where the way of life is rugged, that oar path is often beset with heart-break ingly insurmountable obsta cles so that we cannot see how we can possible make the best of what happened wnich has caused us to live in the con dition of the chaotic world today. the lids.
