? Ross Likely _
To Erwin Seat
This month's icy winter weather postponed the
meeting of the Forsyth County Democratic party,
and the successor to Representative Richard C.
Erwin has not yet been chose. The election is set
for Thursday, January 26th, in the Old Courthouse.
Erwin's seat in the North Carolina House of
Representatives became vacant in early January
when he was appointed to the N.C. Court of - ?
Appeals. The Forsyth County Democratic Party
will choose the. representative to fill Erwin's
unexpired term, and to run for re-election in
November.
Sources within the party expect the appoint-!
ment to go to C.C. Ross. He and Attorney Harold
Kennedy are considered the front runners in the
competition, but Ross seems to have more
community support. _
Not all precinct representatives are happy with
those choices, however.
"The party power structure has already picked
the candidates," says Lee Faye Mack, vice-chairman
of the Grace Presbyterian precinct. "They
want the type of black that they can control."
Mrs. Mack indicated that she might not vote for
either of the party choices, but other precinct
officials have indicated that Ross is the most likely
candidate to succeed Erwin.

This is part two of a four
part series on the Middle
Eastern Conflict.
Since the Diaspora, or
expulsion of the Jews
from Palestine in the first
century A.D., the Jews
have dreamed of going
bpflk to the Promised
Land. After more than a
thousand years of living in
Europe, they maintained
their own customs and
identity, and considered
themselves living in exile.
This attitude was reinforced
by acts of cruelty
and discrimination on the
part of their Christian
countrymen, such as the
laws forbidding Jews to
own land or live outside a
certain area of the community.
During the late middle
