Ijames
Withdraws
From Race
Calvin Ijames withdrew his
candidacy this week for a seat
on the Davie County Board of
Education.
Mr. Ijames said he was with
drawing in favor of Calvin
Jones, another member of his
race who filed last week.
The following statements
were given by Mr. Ijames when
he was asked to give his reason
for withdrawing from the race
for a six-year seat on the Board
of Education which he Hied for
March 4th.
"I've clearly stated to the
leaders of both political parties
and citizens of both Races
(White and Colored) that I woul
not be a candidate for any seat
on the Board of Education if
another member of my Race
was seeking such a seat. Davie
County should have a Negro mi
the Board of Education, but
there is a long hill to climb in
front of the Negro who attempts
to get there. Trie hill is so long
that he must have all the sup
port from the Negro citizens,
and a lot of support from
citizens of the White Race."
"No citizen of my Race had
filed for a seat on the Board of
Education at the time I filed but
since that time Mr. Jones has
filed. Imade plans to withdraw
in favor of Mr. Jones im
mediately after Ilearned that he
had filed. Iwish Mr. Jones the
best of luck in this eelction."
"I'm deeply grateful to many
friends from both races and
both political parties for the
support they promised to give
me"
Letter To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
I believe this Editorial of the
New York Daily News will
interest you.
"Cigaret Fight Hots Up."
Anti-cigaret agitators are at it
again with efforts to bulldoze
manufacturers, Congress and
TV into warning the public
away from cigarets on health
grounds.
Their ultimate objective is to
destroy a big industry on which
thousands of farmers, tobacco
processors and distributors
depend entirely or in part for
th 'ir livelihood.
The anti-cigaret people base
their attacks on statistics, whih
can be doctored to prove vir
tually anything and persistently
play down or ignore the facts,
that there is no laboratory proof
of cigarets ever having given
lung cancer or heart trouble to
any human being and that the
great majority of heavy cigaret
smokers never get these
diseases."
Man must look outward for
the facts and inward for his
values of them. Would like to
hear your views for quoting in
an article,
"Golden Leaf Memories."
Best Wishes,
Marcus Rosenberg
