More than a year ago, around the time of George Jackson's
murder I wrote in this column that we live in a country that is
becoming increasingly a fascist one. Surely there can be little doubt
in your mind if you have been following the activities of
Hitler-Nixon.
Perhaps we can help your thinking and your understanding if
you have not come to grips with that bet. A fascist government
has the following characteristics:
1. Authoritarian rule by one man or a very few men.
2. Government that is run in the interests of the corporate
interests, meaning the national interest is the same as that of the
major businesses.
3. A suspension of any form of law that does not serve the
interest of the ruling power.
4. An over emphasis on the military might, and an inclusion in
the high levels of government of a number of military men. (i.e.
Haig, Laird)
5. An over emphasis on a strong police state, that is powerful
police departments that work not for justice but in the interests of
the government.
6. Government control of the media or suppression of a free
Of course your first re-action is that I am setting up a scarecrow,
but I suggest you check it out. We have no scientific way of
predicting a form of government. The only thing that we can do is
to look in history and see what' happened when governments
become over centralized, when one psychotic individual placed
himself above all others. The two outstanding examples of this are
Germany under Hitler, and Italy under Mussolini.
Perhaps now you are asking what does that have to do with
Black people since we are oppressed and left out of the government
anyway. Well let's look at another characteristic of racism. We shall
take the example of Germany since I have not completed research
on Italy. -,
7. An increase in the oppression of the minority (racial). The
government becomes disorganized and eventually the entire
problem is re-interpreted by the rulers. The masses of the people
(majority race) become frustrated, and confused. They are torn
between their historic faith in their government and the present
problems that they are experiencing. So the government hands
them a scapegoat. If it was not for these people (the minority) we
would not have these problems. Instantly the majority race follows
the confused logic of the government. They are no longer in a
position where they must go against the government but now they
can work with the government to eliminate the problem by
eliminating the minority that is causing the problem. Keep in mind
that no matter how bad or authoritarian a government may get it
can always unite the people to fight a scapegoat. Ask any Jew and
this can be explained better than I could ever.
Right now start thinking of what American white people see as
the problem, not Watergate, not Nixon, but the economy. It is very
easy to re-interpret the breakdown in the economy as being caused
by Black people who do not work and are on welfare, by Black
people who take good high paying jobs from white people, by
Black gangsters who kill white people (like in Boston), by Black
people who work for communists. There are all kinds of arguments
that can be produced, they do not have to be true. All it takes is
for most white people to believe them, especially working class
white people who are feeling the problems with the economy most.
Ask any hard hat and his number one problem is the economy, not
Nixon because he voted for Nixon and Nixon is a good man. Thus
when I say that Nixon ought to be impeached, it is because I
recognize the potential threat that he poses to us. The farther he is
backed into a comer the more likely he is to turn to desperate
means of keeping power. The one thing that has always united this
country in time of crisis has been racism. It happened after the civil
war, after both world wars, and there is no reason it cannot happen
now. Let us not forget that despite the liberals that you work with
or go to school with, most white people in this country do not like
Black people. It is very easy to turn that dislike into hate. Your
white friends are not about to go against the rest of white people
for you. Check out the next white person that you know who
voted for Nixon, and ask yourself as you look at him, if it came to
going against the government (Nixon) and killing me what would
he do. I think you know the answer.
One final word: When people like me make an analysis of this
type, we are very prone to ignore it and to write it off as being
militant, or jumping to conclusions, over-reacting, or even paranoi.
In honesty, I hope that the above does not happen, simply because
I don't think we are in a position to defend ourselves. I do want to
get the facts out, so that as things begin t6 happen in the next few
months, we will at least watch them dosely. It is better that you be
on guard and expect, or watch out for the worst, than for you to
ignore reality and expect the best, and leave yourself open. At this
point we snail not go any farther in this analysis, but think about
it, will you Brother, and Sister?

Church Women
To Celebrate
Community Day
Church Women United in
Durham will celebrate World
Community Day on Friday
November 2, at West Durham
Baptist Church, 1901 Athens
Street at 10 a.m. On this day,
Christian women will gather in
over 2,000 communities to
proclaim their love for the
world and to explore the
theme "Where in the World is
My Neighbor?" Since 1942,
World Community Day has
been sponsored by Church
Women United to emphasize
responsible corporate action
for justice and peace. The
program for 1973 has been
designed to focus on those
communities in our nation and
the world which are
separated by reason of their
ethnic tradition or the present
circumstances of a mobile
society, i.e. military groups,
business communities abroad,
or persons in the U. S. A. who
have shared in more than one
culture. Attention will be given
to those numerous groups
which, under the stress for
change and in their search for
identity, have banded together
in enclaves for mutual
protection and security. In
facing the injustices which
breed the fears and tensions
that lead to polarization, these
concerned Christian women
will seek ways to breach the
walls that separate and Isolate.
Participation in World
Community Day 1973 will
provide an opportunity for a
pilgrimage through the offering
known as Intercontinental
Mission which is used to meet
the needs of neighbors
throughout the world. On this
day also local church women
take part in the Church World
Service Clothing Appeal by
providing good, usable clothing
for the dispossessed and the
needy in many comers of the
world. In addition, many
women sew cut-out garments.
All during the year, but
especially on World
Community Day, women
purchase $3.00 Gift
Certificates, wtffcch;
contributions will be used for
crisis needs and emerging
opportunities where most
needed and for blankets, shoes
and clothing. In recent years
these monies have been used
for hurricane victims in Texas,
for flood relief in South
Dakota and Pennsylvania, for
people ravaged by war in
Bangladesh and the Sudan, for
medical supplies and vaccines
in Sierra Leone, the Dominican
Republic and Indonesia and for
mother-child care clinics and
nutrition courses in many
areas.
The main feature of the
day's celebration will be a
worship service patterned on
the style of the medieval
mystery plays, based on the
parable of the Good Samaritan.
This modern morality play will
take the form of a pilgrimage
in which the participants will
identify with the roles of the
Pilgrim, the Samaritan, and the
Traveller.
All local women, regardless
of denomination, are cordially
invited to attend this World
Community Day celebration.

IBANK PRATT FAMILY
Before you, my dear readers, are given a forthright statement
regarding vibrations, I think we should begin with credibility of my
deductive reasoning. As you know, all energy, even common
electrical energy with which we are familiar, is in the form of
vibrations; and, spirit radiates throughout the universe at different
rates of vibrations and each different rate produces some different
effect in our world. Keeping the latter thought in mind, we will
clear the air of negative reasoning we unknowingly attach to
certain events we are invited to attend.
You have, from time to time, been invited to a New Home
Dedication Service. Many of .us confuse this service with "the
House warming," Open House or even Shower events. But the
Dedication Service differs from the "House-warming," Open House
or Shower events in that it conveys vibrations of a different octave.
When the hostess invites her pastor, neighbors and personal friends
to visit with her and the family in a Dedication Service "in our
New Home," she is saying, infect, "come and fill my new home
with positive vibrations."
Our amiable friends, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pratt, Sr. and family
have moved to Riddle Heights into their lovely new home; at 912
Defray Street. '
Sunday, October 14th was a bright, sunny day with only a hint
of autumn in the late evening breeze when immediate Kinsmen,
friends and gentlemen of the cloth gathered with FtunkElaine and
the children to dedicate their home to God-fill their home with
positive vibrations: love, peace, kindness and happiness.
Dr. Grady D. Davis, the Pratt family's pastor; and his associate
ministers were in charge of the service: Reverends N.B. Sanders,
Essex Fields and Fletcher Harris.
The solemnity of the occasion bore the aspects of a wedding;
the ladies wore fancy neckties and polished shoes and, obvious
self-consicousness; the children wore hair ribbons and fancy
dresses-were a wee-bit awestruck by the susterity of the whole
affair. !
The Act of Dedication was officatod by Dr. Davis. A simple
ceremony, poignantly in toucning its objective context;
soulsearching in its lucid Cosmic vibrations: Frank and Elaine: we
dedicate our home to Love. Where Love is, there God is. Sharron,
Frank, Jr. and Denna: we dmcate our home to Joy. To be Happy
ourselves is a most effectual contribution to the Happiness of
others. Frank and Elaine: we dedicate our Home to Goodness.
Goodness is the only investment that never fails. Frank, Elaine and
the children: We dedicate our Home to Faith Freedom rests, and
always will, on Individual Responsibility, Individual Integerty,
Individual Effort, IndividuaGourage, and Individual Religious
Faith. We dedicate our Home to Love, Hospitality, Security
Kindness, and to the enjoyment of everyone that enters our home.
Miss Sharron Pratt and a group of her friends: Misses Cathy
Parrish, Shelia Mason, Robin and Allison Thorpe were hostess
guides during the evening. The pretty Misses pointed out each
detail of the Pratt's beauteous, spacious, well-appointed home.
Hubert O. Partin, the designer of the Wall-decor in the Pratt's
home, was present and the recipient of may praises for artistic
creation in a "new-look" in wall decorations.
Mmes. Hattie P. Partin and Stephanie Harris were in charge of
refreshments.
Grover Wilson, Jr. was the musician for the occasion and kept
the spectators in a gala mood with live secular tunes played on the
Pratt's Spinet.
The 4 to 7 o'clock guests were: Mr. & Mrs. Abner Mason, Mr. &
Mrs. Charles Holloway. Mr. & Mrs. George B. Russ, Mr. & Mrs.
Billy Nicholson, Sr. (parents of Mrs. Elaine Pratt), Mr. & Mrs. Billy
Nicholson, Jr., Mr. & Mrs. Hunter Haskins, Rev. and Mrs. N.B.
Sanders, Mr. & Mrs. Hubert Partin, Mrs. Gertrude Stubbs, Misses
Rebecca and Rosa Pattrick, Mr. & Mrs. Claude Walter, Abner
Mason, Jr., Anthony Parrish, Mmes. Mildred Tunstall and Maria
Williams (co-workers of Mrs. Pratt), Sally and Jeanette Terry,
Devaron Carlton, Mrs. Annie Daniels, Sharonda Thorpe, Mmes.
Mary Holman, Pauline Boxley, Pearl Haskins, Dorothy Covington,
Misses Hi Hie Shaw, Stephanie and Lamont Smith.
The family prayer: Our Father in the strife and turmoil of these
times, help us to look to you for guidance in all things and to
recognize your guidance. Strengthen our faith in your ability to
help us with each problem, and with thankful spirit we share our
joys with. These things we ask in the name of "Our Father" A
men.
Taxes Nears
GREENSBORO - Although

Recommendations for the
use of $4,035,000 in recreation
bond fundi have been made,
but they have not been
approved by the city council or
us special citizen's advisory
committee.
W. D. HiU Community
Center on FayetteviUe Street,
across from Lincoln Hospital
replaces the old W. D. Hill
Center, which burned in 1968.
When the Center is completed
next spring, it will certain
facilities for day care, crafts,
games, senior citizens activities,
and periodic use by social
services agencies. It will also
house a full size gymtorium for
basetball games and
community meetings. Cost of
this facility is about $370,000
with 75 per cent of financing
coming from HUD and 25
percent from the city.
A smaller satellite center is
also under construction in the
Weaver Street or Comwallis
Road Housing Development.
No recreation area was built
within this area, not even a
community building, and
citizens groups have urged that
such a facility be made
available in that area for
sometime.
Weaver Street Center will
also have day care rooms,
showers and periodic use for
social service agencies and will
have a smaller gymtorium. This
center is expected to be
completed in the spring at
cost of $230,000. Durham
Housing Authority is paying
$40,000 of this and the
balance will be split 75 percent
by HUD and 25 percent by the
city of Durham.
Tennis courts in Forest Hills
Park and Northgate Park are
scheduled for completion in a
few weeks. Giileskie says that
as soon as they can get the
fences up and put down the
green topping, the courts will
be ready. Courts in Forest Hills
Park are hard surfaced which is
quite an improvement over
clay courts which were
previously used. Tennis Courts
in Northgate Park replaced the
Barfield Center which was
destroyed by fire in 1969.
The Center itself (Barfield)
will be replaced by a major
recreation center in Rock
Quarry Park if the city council
approves recommendations
from the recreation
department.
Other recreation projects
that are expected to be
complete by next summer is
the development of the '30
acres Inscoe property between
Alston Avenue and N. C. 55.
Now under construction, there
is a lighted athletic field for
softball and Little League,
rest moms and a picnic shelter.
The recreation department has
recommended the site for more
picnic shelters, tennis courts
and multipurpose courts.
Still another project calls
for lighting the basketball
courts at East End Park,
Walltown Park, C. R. Wood
Park, East Durham Park and
Lyon 'Park. Resirooms are
being built at C. R Wood and
Northgate Park.
The last recreation project
that has been funded is the
development of the 7
acre-Grant Street Park to
parallel Grant Street from W.
G. Pearson School to NCCU. It
to planned by the recreation
department to install
playground equipment and
small picnic shelter and
possibly basketball courts by
next summer.

presented following the timed
question and answer periods.
Hawkins related that he felt
that during the past 2lA years
the government of the city of
Durham has established a good
record. He cited passage of $17
million in bond funds, changes
in the make-up of the Durham
Housing Authority and even
grappling with the
controversial cable TV
franchise.
Lynch called for all persons
to read the McManis report of
May 1973 if you were
interested in what shape the
city of Durham is really in. He
cited the reports views that
called for better long range
planning, better internal
communication and adequate
machinery for citizen input at
ail levels. Lynch also said that
the city's responsibility for its
schools should not be avoided
and "strong appointive powers
should not result in a
v popularity contest."
Incumbent Mrs. Keller, of
Ward 1 stressed the need for
experimenting to provide
better bus transportation to
the city's hospitals, for
working with an elected city
school board with staggered
terms and for acquiring
necessary lands if the Eno
River is not used for future
water supply.
Ralph A. Hunt, unopposed
for Ward 3 seat, that has been
vacated by veteran Councilman
John S. Stewart, said he will be
an "avenue through which
other voices can be heard to
participate in decision making
in city government.
He suggested reducing
poverty and unemployment to
reduce crime, improving
schools where needed and
hiring' more- women and
ihpfiirQfl$ in City Hall.
Cavin, incumbent in Ward 5
said he would continue to run
on his record. He cited his push
for a code of ethnics for city
officials; his opposition to
selling urban renewal
properties below its true value,
his attempts to staff the
redevelopment commission and
housing authority with salaried
lawyers and his work to assure
equitable distribution of bond
funds.
His opponent, Jack T.
Dossett, an independent
businessman, called for long
range land use planning,
electing instead of appointing
replacements on vacated city
council seats and for an elected
city school board and
improved ambulance service.
Paul Alford, at large
candidate, seeking his fourth
term, cited Plate and politics as
his base, urging that there has
to be people teaching and
guiding the people on council
so that needs and aspirations
can be met.
Incumbent Murphy R.
Boyd, who was appointed to
fill the vacated seat of
''Buddy" Lynam, said he has
been an independent voter in
the past 8 months on council
issues and he would continue
to vote and support what he
thought was best for the city
of Durham. He promised
honesty, integrity and fairness.
Charles L. Steel, incumbent,
and who is seeking a 5th term
voiced as his greatest asset,
experience. He cited the city's
record of water and sewer
services as the "nuts and bolts"
of the city- -without the
increase in taxes in the last 6
years. Steel is chairman of the
council's public works
committee, and it oversees
water and sewer matters.
Newcomers Ralph R.
Cooke, a retired hardware
salesman related that he loved
people and felt that the
government should not have to
be forced to see that we take
care of the needs of people in a
proper manner.
Mrs. Josephine Turner,
another newcomer, president
of the East End Neighborhood
Council, said, that she knew a
little something about the
needs of the people of the city,
as she was born and raised in
Durham. She stressed decent
housing, anti-drug laws, better
police protection, paved
streets, better recreation and
aid for senior citizens;
