SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BRANCH OF THE N.A.A. C.P.!!! To Campaign In North Carolina Man's Most Dangerous Weapon Joseph A. Bailey When man took over planet earth Some kind of weapon soon appeared For purposes of self-defense. Or as a means of getting food. But as the years went passing by Another purpose he embraced. For weapons gave advantages When conquest was the goal in mind. And then the race acquired speed For weapons to defeat a foe. Or terrify an enemy And curb his eagerness to fight. So stones and clubs gave way to spears.. And spears to arrows shot from bows. And arrows later were replaced By bullets fired from a gun. And then some chemists made a gas To poison those with guns and tanks. And scientists constructed planes To drop huge bombs on everyone. -AITcI so the struggle still goes on - With focus on plutoniuni-- For weapons that will chain-react And devastate the country-side. Bill though such things are made to kill, fhc weapon that's most dangerous Depends not on production lines. But what goes on in evil minds. A gun, or bomb, is but the end 01 menial pictures first conceived With motives hostile to some one. Or with intent for selfish gain. An atom docs not hold debates On what man thinks is good or bad. And it responds - emotionless - To laws that act upon its parts. Thus arnamcnts are simply tools That have no morals of their own. But they have power to destroy If minds diseased are in control.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS ‘‘The wild international atomic weapons must stop.” SECRECY ‘‘Our gravest foreign policy blunders have resul ted from decisions made in secret, decisions contrary to the basic inclinations fo our people, decisions which would have been rejected had the people known of them. "The viels of secrecy that still surround the delibera tions of our own govern ment have encouraged distrust, disillusionment, and frustration.

SENIOR CITIZENS ‘‘Since the turn of the century, the number of Americans 65 and older has increased from 3 million to over 21 million. At the present rate of growth, Americans 65 and older will increase 46% to over 30 million by the year 2000. However, an American aged 65 today cannot statistically expect to live much longer than his or her great-grandparents who were 65 years old in 1900. ‘‘In many ways, older Americans have been treated as second class people. The idea that they are protected by Medicare ‘‘In many ways, older Americans have been treated as second class citizens. While elderly Americans now constitute only 10% of our population, they make up over 20% of the nation's poor. ‘‘The rapid increase in health costs dramatically affects older people.
