12 THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 17. 1960 I NEWS , An J B HARREN V IE W S REMINISCING ROCKY MOUNT Truly, it is a sign of advancing age when a man likes to 'lock back' over the past years of his life - whether they were profitable or unprofitable years. So, as we are shut-in this weekend with a touch of flu we are doing just that. It was thrity-five vea'-s ago Dee, 10 that a young man named J. R. Ha rren bought and paid for us | first Ford car equipped with oak wheels, ballon tires and over-sized steering wheel Was he p: oud and the other fellows envious, of that 1926 model coupe when most fel lows had only touring cars Having advanced, suddenly from a Ranger : bicycle to new Ford coupe, he could get the females to ride with j him with ease. Now. 35 years late - , ! he is still driving Fords with much pleasure, although he fancies that hi* next ear w ould be of a popular compact make. On December 3 1905 this young ster lost his mother, the late Mrs j Hula Burton Harren. a native of j the Tuckers Grove community of Lincoln County. N. C. At the time | of her demise she resided with her hubby, the late Prof. B, Harren and son on their Iredell County farm near Mooresville. The father reared the son as best he could for the next eleven years until he was stricken with paralysis Dec. 25, 19H! w hen young Jay Bee was 18 years old and serving as make-shift school teacher in Poly County For the next five years young Barren tried to take care of his ! father until his death and burial j in the Brick School Farm cemetery j during a deep snow January 1922 Thus it is that the more impor- j 'an' events in this young man’s life have happened in December or there-about. The principal exception j is lus meeting with and marriage to the fine girl who has been his constant companion for 32 years j He met her July 22, 1921 and was married to her August 9. 1929, Their son wa> bom 'dead at birth > August 27. 1929. GA. KLUXERS, T V GOV DAVIS Th>’ Georgia KuKluxers are try- 1 ing to justify their right to organ- i i/e and fight against school inte- j gration on the grounds that a col ored Atlanta 'college professor al legedly has advocated violence »o students in 'Sit-In' demonstration. We do not vouch for the authen ticity of their claim, knowing Kh vers a' we do. The Kluxers should take a look over into Louisiana at what Gov, Jimmie Davis has said. Press dis patches quote him as saying that there will be violence in connec tion with school integration, and that he'll be out there leading the ; violence. Nov isn't that some stand 1 for the governor of a so-called 'sov ereign' state to take, when he's supposed to be upholding law and order in the state snd nation. That’s the more urgent reason that you and I must join and sup port the NAACP with our money and our corralling of others into the fold as we fight for freedom. The NAACP membership and vot ing represent our best weapons a gainst oppression and denial of equal job opportunities. Didn’t you thrill when you read that H-year-old George Mason I Miller.

Just think about above i colored youths, like j fore-mentioned George Masc.n ; VMler. who aspires to a career in j the diplomatic circles. Ht can't even get a job as a page in the Tar Heel legislature solely because j of racial prejudice.
