College Prof. Calls For Moratorium On Testing Students NC’s Henry Frye Among Tuskegee Inst. Speakers } TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.-A Tuskegee Institute sociologist has called for a ‘'mora torium on testing until we are very clear wnat it is we are suing these tests for. 5 ’ Dr. Edgar Epps, director of behavioral sci ence research at Tuskegee Institute, was one of several consultants participating in a conference here on guidance and counseling services for the non-college bound student. Counselors anci school ad ministrators from five south ern states participated in the three-day conference sponsoi - ed by the School of Education in cooperation with the Inter national Paper Company Foundation. Epps told'the conference tnai “until we can educate com ( munity loaders and teachers how to use tests and tests materials, we should stop test ing.’' He said the correct, us age of tests would be to use them only for diagonastic pur poses . “A test should simply tell a <> teacher what a child needs to know or where to start teaching, him,” Epps declared. Epps, who will be a visiting pro fessor at Harvard University later this summer, suggested that tests could stimulate a new kind of education in a sense educators would learn how to teach children who have deficiencies, rather than what ne said is the current practice of “non-teaching or ignoring children who have deficien cies.” Epps also favored an elimi nation of tests as a prerequi site to getting jobs because he said “they are holding us back. Tests are currently be ing used to discriminate against black people,” he asserted. In the opening session of the conference, a North Carolina Negro legislator challenged the conferees to “acquaint students with the nature of change and how change takes place in the social order.” Henry Frye, the first Negro elected to the North Carolina * legislature since Reconstruc tion, told the group that “maj or changes don’t just come about. Anyone who tells you that time alone will change the social order either doesn’t know what he is talking about or lie is misleading,” Frye explained. He said a good cause may be ex tremely unpopular when first presented, but insisted that the unpopular cause could lie made popular if worked with continu ously. Reiorriig to integration as a part of the educational process, Frye said: “Integration will never work in this county until it becomes acceptable for a black man to • TmEs v v « « ISATTERIES K**p Your €&f % AUT o ACCESSOR |£ S *» Top Shape! # washing * /WX. a^‘” B *X • LUBRICATION M ® OFFICIAL jgajffeK-,. ffy licensed ) /Tl,/1 Inspection W\7 Station Credit Cards Honored DUNN’S tsso SIRVfCENTER See Us For Complete Car Carel > DIAL 832-943 S # B®2 S.

Funeral Home Owner Fights Bmk Against Threatened Seizure Os His Property CINCINNATI-(NPI) - Jenifer Renfro, president of Renfro Funeral service, has been push ed around by the city once too often. When expressway construc tion made him move his fun eral home to another location, he didn’t complain. Even when he had to give up the front yard of his new place for vet another street improvement, he complied graciously. But when the city started trying to take away his land adjacent to the funeral home, that was just too much. As a result, his funeral service has threatened to go to court, if necessary, to retain its own ership of the property, which the city wants to sell for use as a branch post office. Renfro bought the property several years ago to give his business room foi expansion. The post office, he said, is a necessary addition to the community, but Renfro Fun eral servie also is a much “neede Black business.” “I do not want to fight City hall,” Renfro said. “I do not want to fight the government postal authorities. I do not want to fight the government of the United States, and I definitely feel it’s foolhardy to fight my self as a member of the local community. “All of these are so large in comparison to myself that I feel it would be an unfair fight. But I will in order that my busi ness may survive.” The Black executive charged that the city was offering his property for sale, even though IN MEMORY OF MEDGAR EVERS - Jack son, Miss.: - Memorial services were held July 4 during the 60th convention of the Na tional Association for the Advancement of Color ed People to pay tribute to Mississippi martyrs and others deceased since the last convention. During services a monument was dedicated to Medgar W. Evers, who died from an assassin’s bullet in 1963. Standing beside the monument is Charles Evers, newly elected Mayor of Fay ette, Miss., and Myrlic B. Evers, brother and wife of the slain civil rights worker. (UPI). he still owned it. According to Renfro, the pro perty didn’t deteriorate until after tenants moved out when city employees told teem the place was to be torn down. Ho said he was willing to have the building demolished at his own expense. “We have lost rental income Unwraps White Supremacy In Tense Southern Africa Arthur J. Goldberg has cal led for the United States gov ernment to take all necessary rneasurees to disengage itself from white racist South A frica. The form e r United States Ambassador to the United Na tions said that while he op poses the use of fore ; ) of ■ feci a change li the whi e su premacy government, lie strongly feels that “we must offer more than words to prove our moral abhorrence of the racist cancer in southern A frica.” Wr 11 in g in a just-released special Friendship Press pub lication, Southern Africa: A Time For Change, the noted jurist and labor negotiator pro poses, among other things, the following: Stricter enforcement of the South Africa arms embargo, and a stronger effort by the American government to get other countries now selling arms to South Afi ica to halt such sales; A re-examination of the United States-South Africa nu for approximately a year. And now the building has been van dalized. I feel the city Is re sponsible for that,” lie declar ed. In an effort to resolve the dispute, Renfro offered a com promise proposal that turned out to be unacceptable to the Post Office department. cleai cooperation agreement; The United States government should actively discourage pri vate loans and investment by American businessmen and bankers in South Africa. In addition to the articles by Arthur J. Goldberg and George M. Houser, there ar*> a num ber of penetrating and insight ful accounts by, among others, Senator Edward W. Brooke (R„ Mass.); Mahmoud Mestiri, Tunisian Ambassador tc the UN ; Enoc P.

One of the most telling docu ments in Southern Africa; A Time For Change is a portion of the statement made by Toi vo Herman ja Toivo, one of 37 Namibians or South West A fricans arrested under South Africa’s anti-terrorism act. Addressed to the Pretoria court which sentenced him to 20 years in prison, although it had no legal jurisdiction in his country, Toivo’s statement, in its digni ty, moderation, and courage, becomes in effect a challenge to the integrity of every govern ment in the fain ily of nations that can abide such injustice silently. Toivo observed: “I do not claim that it is easy for men of different races to live at peace with one another, . . We believe that by living together, people will learn to lose their fear of each other.

GLORIA RIGOSBEE Dear Mrs. Riggsbee; You seem to think that the birth control pills are the great est. My wife wants to take them, but I won’t let her. After all, fear of becoming pregnant is one of the things that keep wo rn en faithful to their husbands. I don’t want rhy wife fooling around, and the pills would make it much too easy. Thanks just the same. GEORGE. Dear George: A little more love and trust and a little less suspicion and fear would probably make your marriage a lot happier. Wives are not usually interested in “fooling around” when their husbands are loving them pro perly. * * * Dear Mrs. Riggsbee; I ain getting married in early September. We'do n'ot want a child for a year or two. I would like to use the birth control pills from the beginning of my mar riage. When should I get start ed on them? MJR Dear MJR: You should go to your own doctor or to the Wake County Health Department, 3010 New Bern Avenue, within the next week. It is important for you to use the pills a month or so before you are married to find out tiow you react to them. If all goes well, you will be ad justed to them by the time you are married. If you do not like them, you will have time to select another method of birth control. * * Dear Gloria: I have had four children and each was born by Caesarian section. I am pregnant again. My doctor says that I should have taken steps to halt further pregnancies because I get sick er each time. I am Baptist, but have never believed much in birth control, and I think sterilization (having •my tubes tied) would be very immoral. Now I realize I must do something, and 1 would ap predate your advice. MRS. RAYMOND H. Dear Mrs. H.: If pregnancy is such a great risk in your case, I strongly urge you to follow your doc tor’s advice. Sterilization is a very useful method of birth control for those who already have a nice-sized family, and especially in those cases where pregnancy is a serious health hazard to the mother. If, however, you decide to go against his recommendation for sterilization, be sure to accept his advice on birth control and follow it carefully. * * * Dear Mrs. Riggsbee; is based on their desire to be superior and privileged and that when whites see themselves as part of South Aft lea, sharing with us all its hopes and trou bles, then that fear will dis appear.” THE CAROLINIAN RALiEIGH, N.

But I have two questions. Four years ago 1 made a mistake and became pregnant. I miscarried and lost (he baby. Should I toll my future husband about this? And will the mis carriage make it hard to have a baby when I get married? G. D. S. Dear G. D. S.: I assume that you were under a doctor’s care when you had your miscarriage. If so, he probably took care of you so that you will be able to become at least six weeks before you plan to be married. I see no reason to tell your future husband about your ear ly mistake. To confirm tins opinion, however, I suggest you discuss the question further with a minister or doctor whose insight and judgment you re spect. * * * Dear Mrs. Riggsbee; I would like to know from you what is a birth control. 1 have lieen married two years and I have three babies.

School board officials con tending that their presence would be a bad influence on other students. LDF attorneys argued tha t the girls rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Four teenth Amendment of the Con stitution, were violated by the school board. The federal court agreed, holding that the girls may not be excluded from school for the sole reason that they are unwed mothers. Testifying on behalf of the girls, their forme; teachers described them as good stu dents, and said theyYad regain ed the respect of their com munity. The court noted that unwed mothers who are allowed to con tinue their education are less likely to have a second illegi timate child and said “it seems patently unreasonable that he girls should not have the op portunity to be readmitted on the basis of their changed moral and physical condition.” Racist Charge DETROIT-Two repor'er ; or the Knight Newspaper, Vera Glaser and Malvina Stephen son, reported in a copyright story in the Detroit Free Press that FBI Director J.
