It Always Has Been | BY ROLAND BLACK WASHINGTON - (NPI) - Is the United States going through one of the most “violent” periods in its history? You’d get that impression frpm the 350,000-word task-force report Vm “Violence in America: Historical and Comparative Perspectives,” issued by the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of \io lence. According to the report, the l'i6o.s have exploded into one of the most turbulent erasofviol i net in the history of this viol~_ • nee -prone nation. Undoubtedly, we are living fin tin. of public disorder and it.ist. avior caused by so ma! rl.ango and the deciin -114 power oi family and com mit! controls over our lives. As present turbulence amounts largely to so much lack of j.i -1 soual and collective self-control, today's disorder is not to bn excused away, ap plauded, or made into a “poli i Seal” os “ideological” event. Yet, it would be fallacious to say that wo are living in a particularly '.ethal or danger ous period, foi the violence we experience today is far less deadly than what was taken for f • tires i Let Our Kspurtss j Keep Y©ur C«? $ auto accessories /jr\ 1 lB * WASHING /JAI • LUBRICATION OFFICIAL Licensed } /Xu 1 Inspection W7 Station Credit Cards Honored DUNN’S tsso sanaxTH See Us For Complete Car Care!

S. violence. The Emmett Till case was one of the many lynchings that have, until recently, been as “Ameri can as cherry pie.” Since the 1890 s when this peculiarly American institution became widespread, thousands of Black people have been lynch ed by Southern white mobs who were restrained by no “law and order” or public outcry against “violence.” Those who feel the nation is “going to the dogs” forget that the nation has become relatively free of these mobs, for violence these fays has become a ran dom, blind act of striking out against “whatever-it - is, ” rahter than an attack on a specific person. Race riots reflect another change. Until recently, they’ were deadly assaults by whites on Negro areas. Now, a “race riot,” as indefensible as it Is, is much more likely to be an attack on symbols than on people. This nation, with its Wild West, Lynch-mob hisotry, has never had “safe streets.” The West was indeed wild when it was first settled, for “law and order” was notably absent in early Western towns. Only the man with the “fastest gun” could walk the streets in relative safety; and even he wasn’t really safe. In the South, almost all Black people were the potential tar gets of Ku Klux Klan violence, until recent years. Even today,' an “uppity” Negro’s life isn’t safe from “legal lynching,” in some areas of Dixie. The campus and militant viol ence that afflicts this nation to day is mild by comparsion. For few people are killed by this violence, except those who are already caught up in it.

He has been a mem ber of the Irnprovisational Touring Group and appeared in “The Red Shoes” for the Equi ty Library Children’s Theater Dr. Shafer, English Prof., Consultant GREENSBORO - The failure of public school teachers to try to under stand the language prob lem s of minority groups is hampering communi cation between the races, according to a national authority on the teaching of English. “Most teachers come fro m middle class homes,” said Dr. Rob ert E. Shafer, professor of English at Arizona State College, “andthey have difficulties under standing ethnic groups not their own.” Dr. Shafer was in Greens boro recently as a consultant t.o an eight-week teacher train ing workshop being held at A&T State University. The 22 college teachers from institutions in North Carolina, Oregon and Utah, are trying to isolate some of the peculiar language problems encountered among blacks and other minori ties. “We need to understand that language is a part of culture and the teacher is obligated to learn the child’s language,’’ said Dr. Shafer, a noted author and former past president of the National Council of Teach T ers of English. “The Institute of A&T is the only one of its kind,*’ he added. “We need some work in lin guistics and we need good de monstration schools to show new methods of teaching.’’ Dr. Shafer said both white and black teachers must know that it is the attitude of the teacher which determines a child’s mo tivation to learn,’’ Teachers who work with minorities “must understand the way their language system works,” said. Shafer. ,ir We must not be out to replace a child’s language svstem, but to add to It.” Shafer called for more under standing of the language prob lem on tr.e part of the public. “We are suffering a cutback in federal funds for such pro grams as the one at A&T at a time when we need more and more’funds,” he said. ih v ; NEW ASSISTANT MANA GER - Mrs. Louise Perry Sor rell, 24, 206 N.

Economy Os NC Boosted By Gl Bill The economy of North Caro lina has been boosted more than $1,170,943,112 in the past quarter of a century by the GI Bill loan programs, W. R. Phillips, Manager of the Winston-Salem Veterans Administration Re gional Office, said this week. Since the World War H pro gram started on June 22, 1944, the VA has guaranteed or in sured more than 108,859 loans in the amount of $1,170,943,- 112 for North Carolina veterans, he said. Nationwide, the VA has guaranteed or insured more than 7.4 million loans amount ing to nearly $75 billion in the past quarter of a century. Near ly 7,1 million of these loans in the amount of approximate ly s7l billion were for homes, Phillips explained. Os the 108,859 Va - gua ranteed or insured loans in North Carolina, 4,835 amount ing to $83,398,915 were obtain ed by Viet Nam era veterans. Throughout the country Phil lips pointed out, nearly 150,000 loans amounting to almost $2.- 6 billion were for Viet Nam era veterans. All of these were home loans, he said, since the present Post-Korean Gl Bill does not provide for business loans to veterans whose mili tary service began after Jan uary 31, 1955. North Carolina veterans have proved to be responsible home owners, Phillips said, citing the fact that 40,627 loans in the amount of $264,982,627 have begn repaid in full. ing them of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, and in the murder o( a fellow Black Panther.

C.-Two research reports of the Nation al Commission on Urban Prob lems-the Douglas Commission -have just been published. Cue is titled “New Ap proaches to Housing Code Ad ministration” and the other, “Fragmentation in Land-Use Planning and Control.” This 217-page code report notes that enforcement ofhous ing codes traditionally has call ed for a policing action and recommends that this opera tion be expanded Into a service operation. The publication urges the establishment of neighborhood improvement and housing serv ice agencies to provide a means of preventing deterioration of properties, as well as correct ing deficiencies. It suggests that guidelines and performance standards prescribed by the U. S.
