ilfii liiMi riMtJNA TIMES Sat.. BLACK 0j wuim wwvwffr Those of us who have any kind of concern about the treatment of Blacks in the correctional system in North Carolina ought have some concern about two recent events. The first event involves the railroading of Bro. Bo Crowder through the courts in Raleigh and his sentence to death for carry October. If there is still any understanding of the danger the death penalty poses to Black people then clearly we ought to act in this case. It has not reached the governor yet, but when it does, please send letters and encourage others to do so. If we do not make it clear in this case that we will not allow The State of North Carolina to Murder- Black people in its Gas chambers, then our safety is roughly the same as it was in the early 1900's when white people hangedlynched Black people at will Bro. Crowder was HUDGINr. 1 convicted on very questionable evidence, shaky witnesses. There are substantial grounds for an appeal however he has a court appointed lawyer and there is a question as to whether or not he will follow through. Whether he does or not we must stay concerned and do what we can. The second event that we need be concerned about is the recent resignation of Lee Bounds, the former commissioner of the penal system. It is now time that we take a firm stand that his replacement be a Black person. There is no sound reason why a correctional system composed basically of Black people should be run by a white person. It is my feeling that it could be done more effectively by a Black person, and his position would greatly increase Black community support and concern for the prison system. ' I William Thorpe M ' .JH WMWSSi BSS9M Why be dominated by feelings of inability? SjmaamaaMIU D.. Wit I All TUADBr There are many parents today who perhaps, do not make an effort to understand and be helpful to young people. They are permitting children, especially their own, to get on their nerves so that they have little or no patience with them and find it difficult to express any affection or show any helpful interest in them and their world. Parents can often create feelings of inferiority, inadequacy, and dependency in a child by depreciating a son's or daughter's efforts with such negative comments as: "you cant do that-let me do it!" "stupid, you are always doing things wrong!" "you'll never make a success of anything!" Such comments can cause young people to become so deeply inbedded with these images of failure and inability which can be impressed in their consciousness that they will follow them through life, adversely affecting their school work, giving them feelings of defeatism, and lack of confidence in themselves. Held down by these mental blocks, such young people arriving at adulthood, quite often remain dependent upon their parents. They are reluctant to go out on their own and, if compelled to do so, seek other elders to lean upon, pursuing a father or mother image. They want to be condemned or criticized when they fail to make good, and take a peculiar kind of satisfaction from their failures,, and the attitudes of loved ones and others toward them. That could be one good reason why a lot of young adults can't or won't assume responsibility, and as long as they are dominated by built-in feelings of inability to face life, they most likely will continue to reproduce the pattern established in their childhood days. International Track Star, Carter Suggs Accorded Festivities Carter Suggs, 17 year old winner of the 100 and 200 meter dashes held in Odessa, Russia on July 27-28 was given the official winner's accolades as thousands of his hometown friends and family turned out to welcome him in Tarboro. August 1, was officially designated as Carter Suggs Day in the city. Sitting on the back of a white convertible and accompanied by his Coach, Jim Brett, Suggs was acclaimed by the huge crowd as the Tarboro citizens turned out in full force to welcome and pay tribute to their hometown hero. Carter Ray Suggs, the fleet footed t racks ter, has in the past two months nrougni coin national and international honors to himself and his hometown of Tarboro, his native of N.C. The huge crowd lined the flag be-decked parade route that ended at the Town Common for a presentation ceremony in his honor. Dignitaries in the procession included the mayor and School Board Chairman, Sugg's parents, representatives of the East Tarboro Citizens League, Greenwood Heights Community Organization, the Tarboro state champion track team, school cheerleaders and school band. . JM.feMM ". fven to Suggs to show their appreciation in the great honor brought in the city by him, as well as a n engraved silver bowl given to him by WCPS's general manager, for Sports Illustrated Getting WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL REALLY HAPPEN? If you have had the chance to sit down in front of your set and view in vivid black and white the present Senate Investigation into Watergate, t0$Wm:io 'ask yourself, so what? I think all of us have this feeling that nothing will ever happen to any of those who have perpetrated these really strange crimes against our. society. The crimes committed hit at the very heart of our governmental system. What are the issues in Watergate? Somebody broke into the National Headquarters of the Democratic Party. Somebody bugged the Democratic Party. Somebody tried to subvert the Democratic Party's efforts. Somebody tried to cover up the whole thing. Somebody took some dirty money. Somebody tried to get the CIA to help the whole mess. But beyond the "crimes" Smart there lies mi wou i re riitical problem Men have betrayed the American public's trust I think most of us believe that within our government there lies some hope for real change. But now much of these hopes have been dashed by some valueless automatons churned out by our society's "by any means possible ethic," They sought to preserve power without considering the why. They played overkill andt massive retaliation to ghosts. By being valueless inflexible men, they have sought to make our system responsive to their image. They forgot the two-hundred years our government has absorbed change and changing moods. One such item that did not receive the vast attention of official misfeasance is the Dome s . t i c Intelligence-Gathering Plan (DIGP). Many activists are already paranoid about the telephone. Now there is even more fuel to say, "Let's not talk about it over the phone." DIGP called for: increase in domestic intelligence receiving directly through the White House, by passing the FBI, increasing the surveillance of diplomatic missions, increase interception of mail, increasing the number of illegal break-ins, employing the young as campus agents, use of mttrtgiar . domestic intelligence, and surveillance of citizens going to foreign embassies. This super group of all the intelligence recording groups could have been the super snoops on us the citizens of the United States. (Home of the free, etc?) Owing to the increased number of, conspiracy trials and to the large portion that are being thrown out, I feel positive that the Nixon's Administration's domestic intelligence plans will lead to more and more illegal and oppressive military state tactics to scare and intimidate Americans not to express their feelings openly to whomever thev nleam. The DIGP nlan again exhibits the Administration uck oi iaim m. the democratic process. gBWgfBP gBffliggBBHglg' JlBi?TByBBwiMBtrHKalagBBBH ifil Iff ' tBff'gaBB M IB Bjijj&H gKggBfla- ' fBPSI H flBiirai GUEST SPEAKER Chapel Hfll's Mayor Howard Lee (back to camera) is being 'congratulated by Donnie Street, student at Durham College, following his address to the student body. Mayor Lee recently lectured to the students on their "Social and r- nmic Responsibility. Mayor VW an assembly program Durham College. I can remember the many references our leaders made to the lack of freedom in Eastern Europe because of the secret police. Are different? we now any Carter thanked his coach ad many others for inspiration and other help in helping him to roach such athletic heights. Perhaps the most fwtM" remark was young Suggs who moved to the microphone and spoke quietly and briefly, "I try to do my very best in the highest tradition possible." The standing ovation and many other fine tributes will live for a long time in the heart of this young man, his family, friends, his state and his country. VETS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q - I am a veteran living in a state which has no burial space left in its national cemetery. Will the Veterans Administration pay anything toward the cost of a burial plot in a private cemetery? A - Yes. Public Law 93-43 (June 18, 473) allows VA, starting August 1, to pay up to $160 in a plot and interment costs of veterans who die on or after that date, and are not buried in a national cemetery. q The Veterans Administration turned down my disability claim, and Id like to contest the decision. How can I do this? A - You may appeal it to the VA Board of Veterans Appeals, appearing in person, or having someone or an organization represent you. Q I wear braces on both legs as a result of a service connected disability suffered in Vietnam. Am I eligible for an annual clothing allowance of $150 from the Veterans Administration? A - Probably yes, but you must apply to your VA regional office for it. These allowances (under PL 92-328) are authorized for service disabled veterans whose prosthetic or orthopedie pVidss toad to wear out or tear their dotimWi: NORTH CAROLINA'S I FADER IN PRESCRIPTIONS f illing pr.Knpfons i vhX w. do b.rlt N..I to your fomily phyiWan . . . no m ii mo eo i corittd abom year h.olth Ihon your Mtnh k haraiactil. edmrd'i Dm t M poniMa er.itriplion ric.

Iifby (lwrge B. Russ Forui a Hymn: "O For A Thousand Tongues" set the pace for the Union Baptist Men's Day Observance, Sunday, July 22. The orderly assembly of the congregation of men gave promise, from the very outset, that Men's Day '73 would go down in History as being one of the finest ever; W. P. Edwards. Sr. presiding, attired in a business suit of Navy-blue, tactfully guided the order of Service into the channel of success and kept everything in apple pie order from the call to worship to the Benediction. Dr. Orach D. Davis sacrificed one Sunday of his vacation to share t hej suspiciousness of the occasion and to introduce the illustrous speaker: Dr. Larnie G. Hot-ton- Special Assistant to the Governor on Minority Affairs. Music was furnished by two of the Church's choirs: The Grady Davis Choir and the Russ-Sanders' Singers. Other persons contributing to the success of the Men's Day observance were: Reverends Essex Fields and John Caldwell; and, M. C. Hart who recieved a bronze plaque in recognition and appreciation for years of outstanding services. The honored guest and the guest of the honorees were served dinner in Fellowship Hall. The Pator's Aide Society was in charge of this service deluxe. Dr. Larnie G. Horton's cortege included: Chairman, W. P. Edwards, Messers E. M. Pratt, Owen Justice and daughter Wendy, James Pointer, McKinley Cates, Sr. Guest of the Honorees were: Mr. and Mrs. Herman Byrd, Monique, Herman, Jr., Tonyelle (Porky) Byrd; Mr. and Mrs. Earle Mason, Mr. and Mrs. George B. Russ, Mr. and Mrs. James Cat Mrs. MeDuffi daughter Miss Cathy Holman, Mr. and Mrs. Illas Thompson; Rev. and Mrs. John Caldwell and daughters; Messers Eulie Beasely, Joseph Ford, Mrs. Willie Hooker, Pamela Gail Hill, Lynn Edward Hill, Jr., Willie E. Muse. Menu: Turkey, Poultry dressing, Cranberry sauce, string beans; stuffed cabbage with roast-beef; dessert: Apple cobbler and ice cream. Beverages: coffee, cherryade. Mrs. Myrtle Haskins was chairman of the culinary production. Mrs. Haskins delights in preparing palate-delights for all occasion, however, she enjoys most serving as preparator on great occasions. This lady, with the fathomless eyes and ethereal smile, is a long time, active member of Union Baptist; a resident of 2014 Matilene Avenue; a native of Wadesboro; the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rickett; a charter member of the Pastor's Aide Society, Up-To-Date-Galeda Club, Galeda Class, Senior Missionary Circle. The Men's Day Worship Service was a tremendous success through and by its own wholesomeness and deep seated interest on the part of family, friends and the fellowship. However, the contribution by the Pastor's Aide Society added lustre and pleasurableness. SOFT TOUCH Vise a soft touch when you select fresh fruits, and vegetables.
