The CAROLINIAN’S
WORDS OF WORSHIP
One factor which causer most of our suffer
tng is the delusion oi duty Not bine else causes
so much neurosis, insanity and disease It is the
curse of curses Yet, like fanatical Hindu devo
tees, thousands of men and women still throw
themselves under the wheels of this juggernaut's
esr as the noblest way to grain admission to Para
dise We are not taught t-o live for God, but to die
for him.
Around us people are rushing about, pushing,
crowding, sweating in the name of duty There is
no time for beauty, no chance to seek the truth,
no opportunity for meditation. We must hurry
to fulfill our obligations. We crowd our days with
engagements, and if we attend enough committee
meetings and conferences we believe we have met
our civic obligations. In our homes we take on
countless tasks, some self-imposed, many put on
tie by others. In a confusion of activities we lose
our sense of identity and forget that our mis
placed and dislocated selves have no center from
which to give Nor have we perspective on the
actualities of life.
Ibsen showed the loss of values caused by
*n overwhelming sense of duty in his play A
Doll’s House.” Nora. Helmer. naively innocent of
the realities o? business, sees it as a wifely duty
to commit- forgery to secure money for her sick
husband. The devastating results of this act force
her to realize how her childlike absorption in the
affairs of the home have stunted her growth as
an individual and she decides to fare forth to find
her identity In the world of reality
In the scene- where Torvald tried to prevent
her departure he reminds her of her obligation to
him and to their children, charging her with ne
glecting her most sacred duties. Then she takes
her stand: 'T have other duties Just as sacred
duties to myself.' 1 And when her husband replies,
“Before all else you are a- wife and mother,’ she
declares, “I don’t believe that any longer, I be
she American Legion National Commander
Martin McKneally announced last Friday that
the American Legion has cut links with the
40 and 8 group because of the Society's rule
which limit* membership to white people.
Very recently the North Carolina American
Legion Executive Committee voted unam
mously, at its regular meeting to continue af
filiation with its funmaking offspring, the 10
and 8 Society.
The North .Carolina other state groups may
fee! that the National Commando is over
stepping his authority in severing the relation
ship and ties between the Legion and the 40
and 8,
ft is not our purpose to get involved in the
question of whether or not the National Com
mander has overstepped his authority.
However, he has taken a most sensible stand,
inasmuch as the rules of the 40 and 8 discrimi
nates against one segment of the Legion mem

Support St. Augustine’s Drive
Saint Augustine’!! College officials in No
vember launched a drive for $25,000 to estab
lish scholarships end make improvements. Re
ports will he made at Founder’s Day Banquet
on January 16.
We should give our strong support to this
campaign, since Saint Augustine's is dedicat
ed. to Christian higher The institu
tion had its beginning in 1867 under the aus
pices of the National Protestant Episcopal
Church,
The institution aims toward educating
Christian and socially responsible individuals.
It attempts to furnish an environment condu
cive to the intellectual development of the ca
pacities and abilities of its students in order
that they may live useful and purposeful lives.
Known throughout North Carolina and the
United States as “the Big Family School.” it
is depending upon you to help keep it that
way. Saint Augustine's realizes that it must
Don’t Fall For Flim- Flamming Game
Recently a Garner public school teacher fell
for “the Flim-Flam Game.” The ride cosi him
$l4O and left him all the wiser.
If he were an illiterate person, we could see
how he might be fooled For this to happen to
a teacher is almost unbelievable, because one
would assume he- reod the newspapers regular
ly—noting frequent accounts of the subtle
ways of “con artists.”
The “Flim-Flam Game" has flourished for
years: end by now, newspapers explanations
and accounts of its intricacies should be known
by every intelligent reader. An individual
should be able to suspect a stranger when he
approaches with the statement that he has just
found a large sum of money which he wishes
to share, if there is any doubt, then the ap
pearance of a second stranger should put one
on guard.
Fireman Applications-Jim Crow?
Approximately six months ago, we advocat
ed the employment of Negro firemen in Ra
leigh and even suggested the building of a fire
house in Southeast Raleigh where the men
could serve as a unit. Most recently we urged
Negroes, to apply for three positions open in
the Raleigh Fire Department.
Our attention at the moment is focused on
the matter again as a result of an announce
ment that the Chapel Hill Mayor’s Committee
PB Human Relations will investigate possible
discrimination against Negroes in hiring local
firemen. This committee wishes to determine
whether there is any evidence of racial discri
mination in the handling of applications report
edly filled out by three Negroes who said they
never received notification that the applica
tions had been approved or disapproved, or

•Jesus Who is right, Jesus or society?
Did not all members of the American Legion
shed red blood on the battlefields in our most
crucial wars? Having fulfilled the enforceable
obligations of soldiers should not every Le
gionnaire have the right and privilege of be
coming affiliated with eveiy organization con
nected with the American legion? To have it
otherwise would be to engage in hypocrisy.
The Legion national convention in Min
nespolis last August declared that the 40 and
8 membership restrictions barring non-whites
was illegal. Later the National Executive Com
mittee authorized McKneally to take any steps
he felt necessary to solve the problem.
The 40 and 8 Society in the Southern States
may feel that it is being unjustly attacked be
cause the South’s customs are involved, but
the National Commander was morally rigid in
severing the links with the 40 and 8.
“If thy righthand offends thee:, cut it off'"
keep abreast with the times; therefore it is
striving ever to shoulder its load in transmit
ting knowledge to young men and women who
will become the leaders of tomorrow.
In attempting to improve and expand its fa
cilities and provide scholarships to deserving
youth. Saint Augustine’s is turning to you for
financial support. The people of North Caro
lina will benefit most from an institution of
this kind, inasmuch as the college spends most
of its money with the enterprises in the State.
The annua! cost per student is $1,080.22, but
the average amount paid by each student it
$541.08. Students pay annually about $257,-
000 out of a total budget of $512,000. This
leaves approximately $256,000 to be obtained
from other sources.
Before January 16. it is your unenforceable
obligation to respond in a large way to this
campaign.
That the Garner strangers would suggest
burying all monies in the ground for safety
ought to have shocked one into his sensibil
ities. The idea of doing such a thing was sim
ply ridiculous,
Tlip publication of people bring “gypped"
by flim-flammere is a typical run-of-the mill
story. Every one should be on guard and rc
port at once any suspects to the police before
he is fleeced.
We advise the public: (1) against waist mg
any titpe with persons who make claims of
finding money which they wish to share; (2)
against drawing money out of the bank as a
means of demonstrating confidence; and (3)
against giving hard-earned cash to total strang
ers.
Should individuals do this, the results can
become disastrous.
that they had even received consideration for
the vacancies.
Whether or not the Chapel Hill Fire De
partment is guilty of discrimination against
Negroes is a matter for the special committee
to discover. But we do know that for years,
fire fighting has been a white man's job. How
ever, a few cities in the South have Negro fire
men.
Raleigh does not have any Negro firemen.
If no Negroes have applied, the blame rests
upon their shoulders.
Regardless of what has happened in the
past, it would be asking only for fairness in the
City of Raleigh to employ Negro firemen A
gain 'we are suggesting that a new station be
built in Southeast Raleigh and that it be man
ned by Negroes.
