Ail viewer is given unto me in heaven and in earth Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son. and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them, to observe all tilings whatsoever I have commanded you; and, 10. i am with you always, even unto the end of the world. —St. Matthew H8: 18-20, Frequently, it. has been asked if Jesus were a monk No, the Master was not. Until the age of thirty. Jesus was a carpenter at. Nazareth and was called the ton of » carpenter. Joseph At thirty. He dedicated Himself to the work of God —having been baptized in the Jordan Raver bv tohn the Baptist. He was led by the Holy Ghost, into the wilderness among the wild beasts Her* He came face to face with three great temptations by the great Tempter Satan the Devil, In resisting the Devil- Jesus refuaso to use PSas msnenkpm power for Ris own eelfish ben*- tVh#fi the announcement came that Nelson H. Hsn ns, Shaw University professor, had bowed out of the City Council race, we were caught by surprise. While the daily press em - phasized that he saved the city approximately $3,000 by eliminating the necessity of s pri - mary run-off we think he missed another op portunity to teach Raleigh colored citizen* the responsibility for taking an interest and active part, in municipal politics. Several month* ago when Harris rats for * *eat in the House of the North Carolina Gen eral Assembly, he found that a large percent age of his people could not be courted upon to register and vote. They missed an oppor tunity to put in office a man qualified to pre sent the Negro’s side with regard to sll pro posed legislation. Studies have shown that people must learn certain behavior. Raleigh citizens must learn to place ?n the running Negro candidates, the registration and voting process, and to take Your Child Could Be Gifted With the advent of the term “special edu cation for exceptional children”, there are still many misconceptions about * gifte-d child. Very' often, the mental image of people hear ing the term is that of a progidy who may be a piano virtuoso, a super-quiz -kid who docs fantastic mathematical calculations, or who os a genius at something like financing on Wall Street, None of these Images quite fit the broad pattern A gifted child may have intellectual superiority and still not be able to read Greek at three year? of age like philosopher John Stuart Mill or play concerts at nine like Moz art- The truth of the matter Is that the gifted child may show no particularly outstanding talent in his early years but still have the su periority of intellect that will later bring out standing success in some field. Ail A Takes A Look At Itself The Boston Committee on Alcoholism re cently made its 1958 report of activities. In 1957 the total number of queries about alcohol ■■entered problems numbered 3.0i2 while in 1958 the figure was 3,206, A total of 1.209 requests for information in cluded inquiries from 10! undergraduate and graduate students "seeking guidance and in formation.” In 1957 the number was only 50. Summarizing the figures, the committee says that in more than 600 instances a request for information was followed up by persons seeking further consultation about their prob lems for the first time An additional 226 re quests stemmed from the weekly radio pro gmms about the problem of drinking. Among the kinds of information which the organiaztion’s daily record sheets turned up nver a year's time was the fact that the Boston Committee on Alcoholism gave bus fares to almost 100 individuals. The latter went to the committee headquarters stating that they wanted to go to the Massachusetts Correc tional Institution at Bridgewater for volun tary commitment. Os the 99 individuals given bus money, it was found that only three failed to show up at Bridgewater, The committee refers to tins type of compulsive drinker as the “revolving door” drinker, “generally called the chronic police ease of Skid Row alcoholic.” About 8 per cent, of the problem drinkers w Automation And Machines The day of muscle power and ’much indi vidual brain power has passed Assembly line machines and computing machines have taken over many of the tasks originally performed by thousands of men and women. Computing machines, however, are not brains; but they are built to do simple arith metic very fast and they need direction and programming. This programming is done by the human brain which, for its size, is still the most efficient memo y and computer system. But the demands of our times necessitate com puters that can work faster than the human brains. To sense the impact of electronic compu ters. we need only to view a few things they can do. Through fantastic speed, an electronic Nelson Harris Bows Out fit; He refused to put. Ood to the best, by attorn^?- mg a spectacular leap from a temple pinnacle to prove to people Ke- was the Son of God; He refus ed to Worship Satan as a god but reserved Hia worship for the Almighty as the only living and true Ood, even though the Devil offered Him sO the kingdom* of the world as a bargain. Although Satan was not through with ITsrr. Jean* did not stay in the wilderness end become s hermit monk. At the aid of forty days He left the forests and went out. among people to do them good and go before the sheep-like ones as their shepherd. His mother, Mary, was not a nun, b»& alter conceiving Jesus by the holy sptofe (fee b* came the wife of Joseph, the carpenter} tax wee* the various women who accompanied Him time* to wait upon his nuns. He did not tell His apostles or HSs disdplee to establish monasteries or mrrm&risat but ssld to them before He ascended to hmxeh to preach the geene? to all nations. an active part in muttirfpel affair* mm ?? H takes 500 years. By staying in the race, Haiti* would have contributed to the well-being of the citizens who need to learn that ‘‘a votelesa people is a powerless people” it may take the people of Raleigh a long time to sense this fact, but they will learn it eventually the hard way. We must not permit ourselves to sit supine ly by and divorce ourselves altogether from politics, because campaigns, primary run-offs, and elections are as necessary in our everyday affairs as eating bread, and butter. Negro can didates must remain in the campaign even though it spells defeat : and if there are none In « particular political race, they must be found somewhere. Tt is regrettable that Harm saw fit to with draw from the campaign, because we had hop ed the former ‘Harris for Legislature Com mittee” would be given a chance to mow* out of inaction into high gear. The problem is recognising him ea' ly and then in doing something about his latent tal ents. Tt is true that some children of great po tential have been intellectually short-circuited by failure to recognize and encourage their abilities. Persistmce, however, is one of the attributes of the gifted and th« usual pattern is that superiority will win out. It is failure to give such children an early and controlled boost that may be costing them and society ft great deal. Just last week the first southern conference on the gifted child was held in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Approximately *2500 people jam med the high school auditorium to hear fam ous lecturers on this subject. Perhaps, this con ference has pointed the way for such meetings in other parts of the country: and in th« end. we hope, the gifted child will be given the kind of consideration and education he deserves, Massachusetts, th* rommitte* nays, am “homeless men” who possibly could b« helped by living in a protected environment during rehabilitation before returning completely to the community. A study conducted by the BCA shows that of the 16 alcoholic employees studied, 14 wer» completely rehabilitated. “During th® test period, the group loss an average of 288 hours a year due to alcoholism, s total of 4,368 hours for the whole group. This is the equivalent of 109 week’s work for one man, or two yearn employment of one man. In Boston, during 1958. three new com panies joined in the use of the BCA’s counsel ling and guidance sendees regarding problem drinkers. Two of the committee’s paid consul tants noted @ need for improved recognition procedures m referral from the companies using the services. They reported that drinking employees fre - quently “are not. recognized as problems until their stability has been destroyed or ha* de teriorated so much in all areas that they are poor risks for remedial therapy." This report by the Boston AloeohHsm Com mittee is indeed heartening, because what 1* happening in Boston, Massachusetts, i« hap pening thousands of times in cities and towns throughout the country. Person? having drink ing problems should not. hesitate to seek the services of Alcoholic Anonymous in their Im mediate areas. computer does problems in seconds s man couldn't finish m a lifetime Present-day ma chines predict weather and election results, translate languages, do business bookkeeping, and even play chess. Such machines aid science from aerodynam ics to zoology. For example, in the field of psy chology, they are used to stimulate body end brain reactions to our new age of ultrafast jets and rockets.. Not only this, but. computers are also used to help design better computers. The human brain must now be put to work to devise ways and means of finding employ ment for the millions of men and women now idle because of electronics «nd the machines.

What Other Editors Say THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION A turnout of more than 2.099 Tar Heels at Raleigh's Memo rial Auditorium to back a, Unit ed Forces for Education plea for more school funds should convince most legislators that a. strong education-improve merit, tide runs in North Caro lina. But how that improvement, mn best be obtained is a- ques tion perplexing the best, minds Rep. Watts Hill, Jr., of Dur ham, strong supoprter of bet tor schools, has been concern ed for months about a method for guaranteeing that addition al teacher salary money will go to bettor qualified teachers and thus keep them at home. Reprepresentative Hill told Charlie Hamilton of The Greensboro Record that the public schools will have to choose between no additional funds for an across-the-board raise or "substantial” addition al funds for "teacher salaries' provided those salaries go to qualified teachers” How can that be done? A legislative subcommittee is working on a broad policy for teacher evaluation. It seeks to evade the old problems of mer it, ratings, for years highly con troversial among teachers. But It would insist, on a tighter plan of continually evaluating a tea cher's qualifications for a cer tain pay scale. Hill said many legislators point aa examples to the class ification of state employees and the selective pay (merit) raises given to the faculties of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. Gen the same kind of system he devised in the public schools? Merit increases hav* long been opposed by many rank and-file teachers, implying a v<; do not need « * < nor in creased Union salaries for less work and more men, since the long slow running schedules have been brought to a final end: my' what could not be done with that wasted SSOO mil lion. per year to create new em ployment through railroad Im provements and establish ■ higher standards of living to displace present doubt and fear. 7. As touching the seriousness of the present, moment and this Industry’s urgent need of relief from its unfair entanglements, is best expressed and a. panacea given, :ir the following words of Mr. Daniel P Loomis. Presi dent of the Association of Am - erican Railroads “The ,iob of breaking the FEATHERBED chains around our Industry is coins to be the most difficult, labor issue ever faced in rail roading. Both the brotherhoods and management need help. And we cannot shrink from seeking it. The American pen pie themselves have too much at stake on the outcome. Only through the wholehearted co operation of management, la - bor and public leaders can we hope to free the Nation from the wastes of FEATHERBED DING and from the multiplying penalties of weakened indus try.” g Now to all of this, « spir ir.tial application and explana tion is quite plain when we think of our first parents, Ad am and Eve. by name, who self ishly wanted everything thru eyes could see. even the for bidden fruit, and doubtless nev er had a thought of its sarious consequences to you and me, lack of confidence in adminis trative personnel. But, the time may have come when North Carolina needs to find some means of separating the com - peteirt from the incompetent. Public school education com prises by far the largest, chunk of the state budget. An upgract • mg of quality in education is one of the prune aims of the United. Pore® for Education, it cannot continue simply to shout for higher across-the board salaries without at the same time concerning itself about how well that additional money Is spent. Representative Hill, as a known friend of public educa tion, is fighting a worthy fight to uphold she principle of qual ity along with quantity. If the !959 General Assembly finds a suitable formula for allocating additional salary money, if. will have eone a long way toward finding an answer to North Carolina's disturbingly low rank in education among the states GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS * ■«} * RULES FOR MANHOOD Cal Farley has operated * Boys Ranch at Amarillo. Texas, for 20 s.vaxs. More than 1.500 homeless boys have found a home there and grown to man hood, So when Farley passes on some rules for rearing men. dads with just one or two boys might do well to pay attention. Farley says the rules are de ceptively simple and therefore easy to overlook. He lists them as follows: Teach the boy to obey. A boys’ own rules turn out to fce no rules at all. Take time to be a boy’s companion. Be specific with the boy. Uncertainty in youth leaves the door open for lifelong doubt and conflict. Give the boy responsibility, Let him learn early how to be part, of s. team. Love the boy Show tor taking to* loot 3 Thoughtfulness, kindness, sincerity and Grace are not common characteristics of to* human race, but such decep live acts ae perpetrated by An anias and Sappftlra, even tr» fool God, seem non- to fill the air with, their contempt and fraud, 10. When will man ever sense the true meaning of Christ's words that, "the life is more than meat, and the body more than raiment?" U. Malachi. Jehovah's Mes - senger, asks a. question and then answers it. "Will a man rob God? Yet. ye have robbbed me." , , . yes, the Israelites had withheld their Tithes. God's part, and in this they thought they were real smart . , . but when apprehended, they be ceme offended 13, Human hearts today ure quite the same ~, sin and self ishness. the grass roots of FEATHERBEDDING long have been, but not known by this modem name—Jeremiah the Propeht unconscious Ip struck upon it when he exclaimed, "That the hea.rt is deceitful above all things and desperate ly wicked, who can know it?" Only when men's hearts change and the horizons of their thinking reach the high range, or thanking of God for His countless blessings given, will this despised practice of “FEA THERBEDDING" among Rail roads and RELIGION cease, for then men of all walks of life, Races and Creeds, will learn to do justly, love, mercy, and walk, humbly before their God who supplies all of their needs. him that love is a kmd of mu tual respect, reflecting itself in ones conduct.. THE DELTA DEMOCRAT - TIMES » »j * UNWED MOTHERS A top-ranking official of the Philadelphia County Board of Assistance told a. national an riience recently that, contrary to public opinion, the average unwed mother w r as not. using tax funds for “wild living," but was using public assistance for tiie. benefit of her children It is encouraging to have this report, from an official source. The official was speaking about Philadelphia. Whether the same can be said officially a~ bout other communities, we do not. know. Despite this reassuring re port, it is still b fact that State Governments are concerned about, the cost of public assist ance to unwed mothers and are seeking ways to reduce this type of assistance. A bill in Harrisburg would permit two ‘'mistakes' A hill Introduced tn the legislature of North Carolina would sterilise the unwed mother of three children. There is no easy solution, as Is usually the case when we are dealing with human beings and not with mechanical de vices. Its going to take more than laws to cope adequately with the situation. The social worker' also quot ed figures to show that tn Phil adelphia all unwed mothers, regardless of race, accounted for only 4 per cent of the as sistance load. This Is signifi cant. because it negates the Idea so prevalent that, colored women make a “racket” of in creasing their income from state funds by adding to the state’s population Nevertheless, it is still true JUST FOR FUN St MARCH* BL BOmWABI . f - OCA CAR OME& FMMMtIE MSTTCMi Vs-n~ der Smith., local Froggte Bo*,- mm cab driver, eays he likes isaxS driving because he never knows what sort of guy is going t© hall his cab He may be a respectable citizen or a mad bomber.

There are millions still oho are awed by mere size.

For s. long tune ire rathar gloated over the fact, that ours was a.n immense land of im mense opportunities upon which the nations and peoples looked with awe and amaze ment. However, the thing that made the United States a great, country was not, it* size, im pressive as that, was, but, our vaunted democracy whose ad vantages were heralded to the uttermost parts of the earth. It, is no wonder that the va rious peoples sought our shores for refuge and opportunity and that we were rightly heralded as the mightiest nation of the age. Then crime communism t The Russian revolution and its suc cess have posted a, keen and bitter competition for the minds of the nations. Because of the success of communism and we can no longer blast, of mere .size. We boast rather of our free doms and when these are lost, we have no boast at all In oth er words unless we make de mocracy democratic, we have last our last appeal for w6r!d supremacy and world leader - ship, Herein lies the danger of the course the old South is pursuing in its attempts to per pel imte the scourge of segre - gaAiorp which is proving a. tnor si blight upon the South and the nation. The’ current struggle gome op over segregation ami deseg regation will not only deter mine the future of the Negro American, but the future of the South and nation as well. As has been pointed out in (his column so often before, the moral corruption and meanness and trickery it will take to hold the Negro down, will destroy the Negro, the South and the nation! The stirrings for freedom and equality are world-wide and our great country is caught in the ourerot and cannot with draw itself from the struggles of the world for brotherhood The current outbreak against the Negro is not going to solve our nation's problems. Tt is equality for the Negro nr the dissolution of the Union with its surrender to commun ism There is no halfway ground Even our country can not hold back the tide of brot - herhood that is steadily rising Even our great, nation cannot kick forever against the pricks of destiny. As someone has so aptly said., if a fellow huts his head a gatnr,t the wall and the wall does not, give way, his head will! If we retreat, in our bat tle for human equality, we need not doubt that others will take it up. The people of Asia and Af rica, are pressing hard.
