And she commented on the. presence of the young -men and the splendid work they are doing. A smile radiated her face at she talked, and it is a safe assumption ' that she was reliving great moments when she was a much younger woman and actually engaged in Mission Works.

Psjrisflt . . . rr BY JOHN HUGGINS fSTJSmSSL In recent day I have heard more about school problems than I have heard in quite some time. From parents 'and from students, I have heard all kinds of disusslons about what's happening to us in the schools. From push-outs, i to drop-outs, to threats, to coporal punishment, to just plain racism. ' . : ', j I am beginning to wonder whether all of us are familiar with who is responsible for running the schools. If after talking to the principal and the superintendent, and ...the school board, you can still go up town on the right Monday morning and raise your case to the county commissioners. For years the school boards' have been going to the commissioners getting more and more of your 'tax dollars. No one has ever been before the county to oppose this. Thus it is clear that they know very little about the school systems they are funding. ''' You on the other hand who are suffering because of the way the schooling in Durham is being handled have a right to state your case and try to make things happen at all levels of government. While it is certain that the Durham Morning Hearld gave very biased reporting of the school situation, we as Black people know of many other things wrong with the schools. The newspaper cannot change the schools. We can if we are willing to. Too many parents are ready to run their mouths but don't want to run them in the right places, PTSA, School Boards, City Council, County Commission. The problems are not going away because we talk about them among ourselves. We have got to make noise beyond the closets. If that doesn't do It then we are ready to move on to other . ways of getting change. Right now we have Black people on all of the above government units, its up to us to make them work. The same thing applies to students. Most students are content to complain to everybody except the people who are responsible for the problems. Students we in the community can only help you move, we can only give you support, no pne Is going to fight your battles for you. If you don't like what's happening , in your school, stick your neck" out and do something. It is far easier for the community to come to your rescue than it is for us) to fight your fights for you. ! ; ' . So in the final analysis we are talking about those of us who are directly affected by school problems moving against the sources of those problems. Black parents' dont go to schools enough. Bug the hell out of the principal, let him know you want your child educated, not abused. Get: to knwo the teachers, so that if you have to cuss one out you can do it by name. I know school board meetings are, dull as can be but go and say your piece, leave or sleep through the rest. Same thing about all these other meetings. You don't have to be an expert to go to a meeting and speak your part. Make your own agenda, tell them what you want them to know and the hell with the rest of i the meeting, if its dull or boring leave, your taxes are paying for the door just like they pay for the room, it's yours,; go and leave when you want to. . . t , The same thing applies to students. If you know everybody on the school board by name, the principal is. ' " i ' ' - , iter y s Hi' L1 SI fit J, By GEORGE B. RUSS wmreiiiipirmM Hearing Emma Lou's sleepy, irritated voice rekindled her keen dislike for the woman, "wake up! Git up! you had no business walking off with the key to that apartment. Where did you think I was going to sleep? . ' "Whom do you think you're talking to, Madie Perkins? There was pronounced anger in Emma Lou's voice. ,"Don't give me that 'whom do I think I'm talking to' chat. Tm tired, sleepy, mad 'n stinking. You know what they say about Hagar's chiUum when they're tired, sleepy, mad 'n atinking? "Go peddler your riddles someplace else, old woman!" Miss Madie retorted hotly, "th' next move I make is to talk wlff th' white folks uptown." "I just bet you would do just that!" Emma Lous's tone was caustic. "Just as sure as grits is grocery." Miss Madie wanted to spit into the mouthpiece, but, instead, she listened for Emma's rebuff. Finally she came through with something about Curt's being out. - "You made your bed-ah-bed of thorns, now sleep in it." Emma Lou answered curtly, "keep your shirt on! I'll be there as soon as I can get some clothes on." "Ah-got-news for you, honey, if you don't show up pretty soon, I am calling th' law. The clicking sound on the other end of the line told Miss Madie that her party had hung up. The chances were in favor of Emma Lou's coming to Bayborough Heights. The odds were to be reckoned, with Enrna Lou might keep her waiting until Curtis arrived home. Ten minutes, half hour, or, perhaps, several hours. However the cup tilted she would go that-ah-way. She called out, "thanks-ah-lot, Shelia. ril drap by early tomorrow 'n help out." No reply reached her ears, so, she hurried out of the house. She was fearful of what might lurk in the shadowy darkness, nevertheless, she retraced her footsteps toward Apartment 2-A. And as she was passing Miss Carrie's apartment, the woman's drowsy voice completely dispersed her. discursive thoughts. . "You didn't sUy tong-ah-see."t r "Nome, I wanted to talk wlff Shelia 'bout mister Ben's sittin-up." Miss. Madie lied evenly. She had no reason to offer for lying. She just lied. - "When is th funeral, Miss Madie? "I've heard two different stories, Miss Carrie. .But I rather think he'll be buried Saturday at 2 o'clock. And while she was wishing "th' woman would hush" a car came to a stop in front Apt.2-A. Miss Madie cut her friend's drooling voice off, "ah'il have to stop you later, Miss Carrie, looks-lack-mah-sister-ln-law is calling on me." Then she sped off down the street. Emma Lou was standing on the step of the stoop in front of Apt. 2-A by thi time MissiMadle arrived, "heaven knows I am glad to see you," she said with mocked enthusisam.
