Texas and nineteen other states pri marily in the South and Southwest, have adopted "right-to-work" laws.

In fact they realized that they had America in a scissors action, and that one complemented each other."

THORPE sure that blacks only have dead leaden to look at." Paul has pointed out that the film is a 'money making scheme which lacks "respect ... and more, a responsibility to history, the black community and humanity." He further stated, "They are making money off a figure who is central to black history by redefining that figure," making Dr. King 'palatable to a white audience which doesn't like him in the first place and hoping to pick up on the black audience just by the name." Paul explained that this tactic would assure them of a high rating for the . initial viewing of - the pro posed serial "thereby selling advertisers." Paul' adds that he will be working with SCLC to prevent the screen ing the film 1ecauset it does distort character and it defames Dr. Abernathy and it contains untrue events.". It was the refusal of Dr. Aber nathy ; to verify the authen ticity of a scene in the film which angered the writer- Sroducer of the film. Mann as, since that time, refused to meet with Dr. Abernathy or ', - representatives 1 of SCLC to hear their objec tions to the film. In separate interviews with C. T. Vivian and Ho sea Williams last week, both expressed concern for the effect that a r fflm , which contains ' such serious distortions would1 have on Third World relations and on the youth if it is presented in its current form: For this reason, they deem it a moral responsibility to pre vent the release of the movie. ; VHUAKERS Continued From Page 1 thirties, said she believes that blacks in the town will "in time pull together"; but has sharp words for blacks trad ing with Judge, saying,' "Blacks trading at Joe Judges', are a bunch of dummies."

"Older , blacks count as being black but they don't count when you ' go up against the whites." Pittman's candid remarks got nods , from several other young blacks who were with Pittman at the time. ,- -i' tn ' this black, belt community, where blacks easily outnumber whites, to a , visitor the problems ; of racism seem pervasive, al- most as though the civil rights , movement of the 1960's never' happened.

When told by a. reporter that a white wo man used the same restroom facilities last week, the atten dant replied, 'It was working then." When asked if he were prejudiced, the attendant .quipped, "No, I ain't pre judiced. If. 1 was, I would go out of business." The North Carolina Human Relations Commission in May investi gate complaints that dis crimination vas occuring at ; the store but did. not turnup an violation. The, same reporter found that ge.ieral business relations between blacks and whites in the town are con-, ducted much like they have been on the region's planta tions for generations. A good example is the experience of Ms. Annie Mann, 34, who two years ago paid $700. down for a double-width mobile home from United . Mobile Homes. Expecting a delivery in January, her t trailer was actually delivered seven months later, only then to have the driveway blocked ' by the local inspector who said that , the trailer could not be put there. Ms. Mann was told by Mayor Hershcell Johnson that the trailer, could not be in the city limits be-7 cause of zoning restrictions. The trailer was finally de livered when zoning;, laws were changed, but Ms, Mann had to buy and install a septic tank because the city's sewer facilities could not be tapped. life Sartt Qan vft fukidifiivi AS REV. LEAKE Finally when Ms. Mann was hospitalized a few ; months ago, she returned to find the trailer had been re possessed by the trailer dealer, without having gone to court and with no notice to Ms. Mann. Her electricity was never connected. The problem, she says, is "There is no organization or anyone that you can 'turn' to for help." , Her problems are not isolated. Many of the town's citizens knew of her problems but no , one can forward to help. She's not the .only one having problems. One black man, whojbought a house across from the town's major's home, was . not L allowed to tap into the sewer system. Blacks in the .town did riot protest. When Charlie ' Lee was killed that seemed to be 'the straw that broke the camel's back.' Why then have the ' town's black citizens gone back to Joe Judge's store? One man, who didn't want to be identified, answered , the question, saying, "The whites for so long have been on top that most blacks have no 1 idea of s the effect that even the short boycott had a few months ago. But this time I think the people will pull together." . ' ; : : There was a quiet tran sition from protest politics to reconciliation during 3 the month of May when represen tatives of the N. C, Good Neighbor Council, including Executive Director Ben Ruffin, held meetings in the town to discuss solutions to ftm (iWN fM if4" '.(? .. I LOOKED AND By D D 0 . r 'THE TRUTH IN HIS WORD IS POWER"4 I- 1 '. J ' The truth,, as found in the Word of God, is power beyond much of our understanding. His words, whether spoken by Him or His ambassadors throughout the world have strengthen to set men free. The words of God contain eternal truths and cannot . return unto Him void in terms 'of accomplishments. Further, as many as believe within a divine framework can gain their free- v dom from bondage due to the guilt of sin., ; ' ' A The divine framework of God is a huge category of hope -for potential believers throughout the world. Therefore, all men are not required to cast their beliefs within this huge category of divine . hope of God in like manner. The various languages v throughout the world make it too difficult for all flesh to be lieve in God according to a few set procedures. . How may men of all nations know the one God of truth with regard to their only hope of salvation? The every-where , concept of our God's presence is a lasting truth which cannot be . made void by men possessed with power and might. Therefore, the love of God being shed abroad is demonstrated by some be lievers among alt nations of the world. In their various" expres sions of love among other nations, difficult problems are solved for the true benefit of all. Only through true love,' as found in the word of God can the petitions which divide men be remov ed. Of course, the world around us is not perfect but the fact that the world exists is evidence that the perfect love of Goa is working. He who hath ears to hear , let him hear. . R.
