THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH N. C.. SATURDAY APRIL 12. 196“ 16 lews And flaws BY J. B. BARREN YOU ARE 85$ APE; 15?, HU MAN ROCKY MOUNT - If you have been wondering WHY you and I act like we do - so much like a monkey or an ape at times, more often than we care to admit, science now has an ex planation for it. Albeit, you may not want to accept the scientists explanation. Ls you don’t you’ll have to challenge him to prove his point. According to NBC Monitor on March 30, the scientist say we-you and I-are ONLY eighty five per cent ape and just fif teen per cent more intelligent -human, ABOVE the ape!! So, from henceforth we’ll have to lighten up on our criticism of each other. Or, will we? Now that we have your atten tion, we’d like to tell you that retired principal \V. R. Col lins of Johnston County was plugging for The NCTA Credit Union Friday at the NCTA meet ing. Erothei Collins says the NCTA Credit Union has about 700 members with $99,000 in assets. T: eabuad Jeffers of Gastonia is president. F. D. McNeill is secretary. A drive is on to increase the assets to at least $160,000 by June first. All NCTA personnel are being asked to buy addi tional shares of stock at $' per share to boost the capital Collins appealed .for volunteer workers ro help i vise the funds. Regrettably, Negroes so sel dom volunteer to do for them selves what they could and should in such organizations. In one Eastern Tarheelia town a leading Negro led his white counterparts in seeming the entollment of S is Soul brothers in a leading civic body which has a fee of SSO, while at the same time this brother will make no move to help enroll those Soulties in the local NAACP. Nuff said about it. We are certainly glad to read that the lady from Greensboro got the cooperation oftheNCTA Contention in getting an amend ment tacked on to qualify the previously passed blanket en dorsement of the radical col lege student protest movement. We need to stop a moment and consider w’ at and how we en dorse things, less we become more like tm ape everyday. How could teachers endorse the violent actions of the stu dents? Some of us wondered why NCTA should pass a re solution to be sent to the Eisenhowers mourri in g his !oss n Y'es, 1 o sent troops to Little Rock, Ark., but that - like Abe Lincoln’s move in emancipating Negro slaves - was to save the Nation and to put down rebellion and sustain the law as interpreted by the U. S, Supreme Court, Now, when it comes to Lyndon Baines John son’s demise - send a delega tion with the resolution, please. INTEGRATION ONLY HOPE While speaking to a NAACP life membership rally in Sacra mento, Calif., recently, NAACP executive director Roy Wilkins, although criticing young Negro radicals for their tactics in go ing about trying to achieve full civil rights for all, said‘'never theless, the youth have their fingers on a vital truth” as they complained about the slow ness of accomplishing civil rights gains, Wilkins repeated his well known stand that “the cult that puts special emphasis on black -h es s for blackness’ sake, is saying that all things good are Louisburg News BY MRS. WYNELLA MOORE LOUISBURG - The program sponsored by Mrs. Wortham in Henderson and Louisburg was most successful. All groups performed well. The remarks were given by Mr. Macon of Henderson.

He stated that integration does not mean imitating whites nor losing one’s identity, but, “Integration means attainment of group equally to take your place alorig-side other groups. The way you prove your man hood is through competition.” Wilkins added, it is now time for whites and Negroes to be generous with each other and learn to respect one another, adding, it would be disastrous for- Negroes to imitate “the same old things” which have caused discrimination to exist - to label all whites as bad because of the wrongs of some. The NAACP - Sponsored Na tional Youth Mobilization Con ference will convene inDeeCee April 21-22. Several other r e cognized youth groups will af filiate as they seek - among other things -t£ campaign for the lovering of the voting age to 18 years. (The State of Georgia did this in 1945!) Speaking in Charleston, S. C., NAACP national prexy Kivie Kaplan urged support for Negro hospital workers trying to organize a union. He said, “If the power structure and legis lators had any heart at all, these people wouldn’t have to picket” for better working con ditions. Excerpts from Roy Wilkins’ address to the St. Louis NAACP banquet session ori his recent southwestern tour of NAACP units include; Because of the ac celerated racial and religious tensions of today there has “ne\er been greater need for the kind of thought and action of the National Conference of Christians and Jews”; Called for a "return to Die basic faiths, as such a return is im perative. Man has forgotten his relationship to man. . . .He lias become obsessed with the in ventions, comforts, and luxury created bv his hands” thus neglecting his improverished brother.

He was the beat of our heart of hearts; he was our souls’ repose, But our hearts in this imment loss have grown numb; And our souls from end lessly asking “why?” is dumb. When and where shall we see a dream come true, who knows, who knows? A great Black poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, had been paraphrased in these four lines, but they express the deep unto deep feelings of the writer. How would he, the earthly counter part react to the slightly con cealed rumblings of racism that used to be in the distance but are now ominously near 0 What answers would he give to the miriad questions asked by Black and white youths as they sing, “Black and White together, we shall overcome some day?" As a revolutionary, Christ overturned the tables of thieves and cheaters, and upset the cart of oppressors of the poor, and challenged the deep-seeded “power structure" of His “world,” and finally was cru- So did His counter part, "'starting in Montgomery, Alabama, went, preaching justice, mercy and walking humbly with God.
