Sometimes the realization comes too late for us to make atonement, as some of those concerned have left this life. All we can do is to only hope that the lesson taught us has borne fruit in our relations with. Yes, wrong impressions can be formed about our loved ones as well as friends and strangers. At times, the impressions we hold of them may not represent what they are at all. It probably would be wise to school ourselves to be open minded and tolerant and to give to others the benefit of the doubt when things happen mat might be disturbing and which we do not, at the moment understand. It's bad enough not to be able to adapt ourselves to others just because their physical appearance antagonizes or repels us for no reason. But when we permit ourselves to get mentally and emotionally disturbed because of the imagined wrong attitude of love ones or friends toward us, this can probably prove even more damaging and regrettable. Some of us probably have heard a person say: "He or she' acts allright, but I just don't like the way he or she looks!" That's one example of getting the wrong impression of a person, and not realizing that the same person can turn out to be one of the best friends he has ever had. WASHINGTON (NBNS) -Of nearly 22,000 new federal white collar jobs which became available last year, blacks and other minorities were hired for more than two-thirds of them, according to a report released last week by the Civil Service Commission. In addition, minority hiring at the top of the federal service ladder was even greater, with an increase of 1,845 minority In my opinion, never judge other people only by their looks and hold a wrong impression of them, wherein it may cause us to react too quickly, make snap judgement concerning them, and say things which can hurt instead of aiding the situation, because one of the real and lasting values of this life is the love and understanding of our fellowman. Finally, looking back on my adventurotp life, I am so thankful that I was spared early in my youth. From developing and carrying a wrong mental image of people just because they looked different and acted differently from what my environment and experience had caused me to picture. 1.67 COLONIAL STORES PRICES GOOD THRU JULY 28 1973-QUANTITIES RESERVED THIS WEEK AT COLONIAL CLIP AND REDEEM VALUABLE COUPONS BELOW iff SAVE 48' At ColonJJ With This Coupon And Your $5 Order Or More OSCAR MAYER'S All sa-sllfe. . i. ttl I KK -i mm Ala h.

During the year, the total number of federal white collar positions increased by 21,974. About 14,982 of these jobs, or 68 per cent, were fitted by minorities. The largest minority group in the surveys are blacks, but tbe figures also include Indians, Orientals, and Spanish-surnamed Americans.

S., during special ceremony at French Consul General's residence recently. The French I BLACK J t I By JOHN HUDGINS MM aiBt I HUDGINS Today in this land indeed in this world, we exist in one of the most depressing times in history. In a time when there seems to be very little concern for the good of humanity. In a time when it is difficult to separate those who believe in a God from those who merely profess to. Hopefully we shall never again witness a time when everybody seems to be caught up in the acquiring of personal wealth, personal power, status. We find that those institutions that we learned to be amazed at are no longer the sacred ideas we thought they were. I can remember growing up in the Kennedy years and being told here was a man of men, of courage, upright, and just, young and idealistic. Of course I have since learned that all of that wasn't true but at least in my own limited mind there was a feeling that seme right was going on. and this something was always bef ;...,. that I owld Today one looks It t leadership of the land and a bunch of well educai hoodlums. We find indeed the nresident has little resoect for laws that apply to him. We find indeed a man caught up in a lust for absolute power,, absolute immunity from restraints, absolutely no accountability. Not only this image at the top but we also see and feel this image leaking . through the bottom. We set people around us only concerned with what can be gained on a personal basis, power, money, material, status. It is little wonder that there is hardly anybody distrubed about Watergate. We are too busy with business as usual. It is perhaps most easy for Black people to say this doesn't concern me, this Is white folks business. It" is also simple for? us to begin singing the old song "I been down so long 'til being down don't bother me." We seem to think that for some reason we are not a part of the goings on in high places. We must certainly not forget who will bear the brunt of the results. So it is indeed easy for us, and tempting to say all is lost. It is easy to say its out of my hands or out of my reach. I can do nothing, what's the use anyway? But I have been told by many a Black person, Son, push on, for after tbe storm there is the morning, after the dark there is the light, and after the beating the victory seems mueh sweeter. And so today we can begin to move toward our responsibilities to humanity. It was easy in the days that I grew up because even the president appeared to stand for the right Today that is no longer the case. We know where the president stands, but we also know where the city council stands, and we know where the majority of America wants to stand, silent So it is much more harder to stand for the right, it is much harder to stand for what you have been taught to believe by your parents, and Black people who believe in you. Today we as a people must assert our belief in the beauty of humanity, we must stand by the rights that we have said all men have, and if we believe that all men are created equal then we as a people are certainly equal to the task of undoing the wrong sustained by a ruling bunch of hoodlums. I have found it difficult to always follow the thinking of the late Dr. Martin King, but I believe one of the last things he said in a speech was; "There's going to be some difficult days ahead." They are here, and like Dr. King we must answer the call to stand against the wind, the tide, nixongate and stand for right ... Si WILBERT L. JONES, JR.

My husband and I have been married for several yean and do not have any children, and you would be surprised at the intimate questions we are asked by relatives and friends! Mostly, they want to know whose fault It is." A cousin once tried to get me to admit that ours was a "marriage of convenience," not involving sex at all. I don't know how many people have told one or both of us that if we weren't able to have children, we really ought to adopt, one or two soon because we're not getting any younger. My mother-in-law mentions every time she sees me that if I expect to have any children, I had better not wait much longer. We are both still under 30 and are just not ready to start our family, even though we have been married almost eight years. And we figure It is nobody's business but our own! Don't you agree? Mrs. T.Y. Dear Mrs. T.Y.: 1 certainly do agree. I have heard this same complaint from many other couples who are childless, whether through choice of not. It certainly is strange how people who would not dream of discussing their own sex lives with others feel perfectly free to ask about someone else's, just because a marriage has not resulted in children. Many people who are in Kindergarten Program is Set For Schools The following information is pertinent to the 1973-74 kindergarten program as released by Superintendent the jjurnam aiyscSom There will be eight federally-funded kindergartens for the 1973-74 school year at the following schools. East End Fayetteville Street R. N. Harris Lyon Park . Morehead Pearson Spaulding George Watts There will be six state-funded kindergartens for the 1973-74 school year at the following schools. East End R. N. Harris Holloway Street North Durham Pearson E. K. Powe Both types of kindergartens will be at these schools. Classes will be limited to 23 pupils in the federally-funded kindergartens. The state-funded kingergarten classes will be limited to approximately the same size. Club Boulevard School pupils may register at East End SchooL Lakewood pupils may register at Fayetteville Street School if they qualify for the federal program and at Pearson for the state program. Y. h. Smith School pupils may register at R. N. Harris SchooL Walltown School pupils may register at George Watts if they qualify for the federally furrded program, or at North Durham School or E. K. Powe School if they qualify for the state program. Pupils who are accepted will be required to have proper immunizations, a physical examination and verification of age by the birth certificate. Pupils who do not secure physical examination and immunizations from a private physician may secure they physical examination from the Edgemont Community Center or the Lincoln Community Health Center and the immunization from the Durham County Health Department. It is Important that all parents wishing to register their children do so immediately at the designated school during regular school hours. CASTEL GANDOLFO, ITALY - (NBNS)- In what Vatican aides described as being directly related to reports of Portuguese atrocities in Mozambique, Pope Paul VI denounced "the atrocious attacks perpetrated by Inhuman and organized delinquency." favor of family planning when it means spacing children, or limiting tbe number or children, seem to be against a young couple's practicing birth control in order to delay the start of a family. Oh, a year or two is understandable, these people seem to feel, but after that, there's no excuse for not having a baby. And the curious comments and the personal questions begin. Some women write that they have been told (usually by some relatives or friend) that if they practice birth control for a long time, they will not be able to have a baby when they do want one. This, of course, is not true. I believe that in some cases--especially when adoption of a child is suggested or hinted at- Un friend or relative really believes that he (or she) is being helpful. Older people, who are childless themselves and perhaps lonely, may feel that young couples should be warned of this possibility. In my opinion, this is indeed a personal matter and not something that any person should presume to advise another about, unless requested to do so. Most people can understand that when a couple has a baby it is a matter of choice-it should also be understood that whether a couple ever has a baby is also a matter of choice in many cases. Today, many young couples lead sa oaafek An Hn y -h BSikv'i&&'; -: BSSsTSssSakfcflBa Sam SEmIS Ik on BasKNRjjj&:? ll pHsa sa wSWsiaaMBMf: . aK:. .aasEsES E:aamg Eak SaU July 28, 190 ' Jp CAMOUKA ANOTHER TITLE FOR DEWAR'S - Members of the championship Dewar's "White Label" bowling team of Buffalo, NY, accept the plaque they earned for winning their division title in the New York State Women's Bowling Association tournament from Marie Munson (center), Association secretary-treasurer.

Dear Mrs. Rigsbee: What do you think of using one quart of water containing four spoons of lemon juice for a douche to prevent pregnancy? I heard that acidity of the lemon kills sperm. But would it be harmful to use this method for a long period of time? Mrs, C.A. Dear Mrs. C.A.: I am afraid that this method of birth control would not prevent you from getting pregnant. The add of the lemon juice would not kill sperm. The danger of using any kind of douche after sexual relations is that sometimes the douche will wash the sperm up into the opening to the womb and thus actually help pregnancy take place. If you have a question about family planning, sex education or similar kinds of information that you would like answered, write: Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee, 214 Cameron Ave., Chapel Hill, N. C. 27514. I will answer your letters, either in this column or by personal mail. Ail. letters are confidential and real names are never used in the paper. Write me also if you would like to have a free booklet on birth control methods.
