16 THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH. N. €., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1868 Haws Asst! flews BY J. B. HARSEN N. C. NAACP CONVENTION POST MORTEN ROCKY MOUNT-Thar® are a lot of unanswered questions re* fording the apathy of our Ne gro, Black or Colored citiaanry toward tha wonderful sixty years of achievement of mere rights for our people and the nation by the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People. We are at a loss to understand WHY so few take an active part in building the GREATEST civil rights ma rline in America vesterday and TODAY. And unless anarchy be comes the rule of this nation, the NAACP will continue to be the beacon light for leading to greater ADVANCEMENT of the rights of segregated and dis criminated against minority group people of all classes and stations in life. Meeting in Durham Oct, 9- 11, after an absence of only two years, the "Nesrro capital” of Tarheelia again FAILED to AT TEND the sessions In a credit able manner. The one public mass meeting away from the hotel headquarters was at the St. Mark AME Zion Church where less than three hundred (300), including delegates, were out to hear the dynamic Georgia NAACP prexy preach a civil rights sermon. The Rev. Julius Ceasar Hope, Baptist minister ofßrutnswick, Ga., ‘told St like it is’ as re garding the need for Negroes to take an active part in obtaining their civil rights. “Ask God to Give US the Mountains of hate, regardless of what the brother may do to us; relieve us of the mountain for tear that will cause us to hurt ourselves; give us the mountain of- not black power green power and these White folks will love us as never be fore”, .spoke the Alabama-horn young clergyman. Then he asked ‘ 'How can Ne groes teach children citizenship when so many of them DO NOT VOTE; when they are afraid to join or support NAACP or reg ister and vote?” Clarence Mitchell, the Dee Cee NAACP “watchman on the congressional wall” always bring a strong message and the record on Congress as he spoke to seminars. The failure of Bull Cityites to turn out in large numbers was disappointingly matched by the failure of Tarheeiia’s ministers to reponds in attend ance at ttie Church-work and Ministers conference directed by the Rev. J, T. McMillan of Twin-City. Reportedly there were only twenty-four preach ers from over the state, de spite a special free luncheon for them! Can it be that they just won’t spare the time, or they still consider civil rights out of their sphere of influ ence? ? ? Guess they forget that the Master administered to ALL the NEEDS of man kind! ! N. C. MASONIC LODGES The Masonic Lodges and the Order of Eastern Star Lodges cannot be commended too much for'the magnificent role they have continued to play In the helping so meaningfully in rais ing the finance so badly need ed to carry on the NAACP’s fight for freedom, without which we would be a long ways far ther back than we are, other organizations notwithstand ing. Clark S. Brown, Grand Mas ter of the Masons of Tarhellta, and Mrs. Maggie Strong, Grand Worthy Matrou of the Eastern -Star, have marshalled their re spective lodges to raise some $4,162 through the Prince Hall Masons; and more than S7OO from Eastern Star. North Caro lina Teachers Assn gave SSOO. Mrs. Estelle A. Smith and J. B. Barren reported S6O. from the End Street Baptist Church community near Scotland Neck, plus $25 from Mary's Chapel Baptist. Several N. f. Beauti cians assisted the Eastern Star lodges in selling NAACP seals at Christmas time. GOD STILL WORKS MIRACLES If you don’t believe it, take the case of former Ku Klux Klan gran dragon Calvin Fred Craig of Georgia, who, like the Saul of Tarsus of the Bible, went about for years burning KKK crosses to frighten Ne groes; has renounced the KKK (while holding some oi the tenets of segregation) and Is now en gaged in trying to improve tire living conditions of poor blacks and poor whites while profes sing a liking for ‘soul food,’ according to Don McKee the AP writer who did an informa tive story in Sunday dailies which should be read by all citi zens. God CAN CHANGE men today! The young woman student at Wellesly College who got ‘‘het up* - and derided this writer last April because he warned the girls at Bennett College against demanding two and three o’clock a.m. curfew, should find solace in the story that a west coast college is permitting the un married male and female stu dents to share the same rooms At will! We told the Bennett girls (and others, too) that the fel lows who kept them out until pre-dawn hours would hardly be the ones who would march to the marriage alter with them. Many fellows have agreed with os on that, even tho they like to ramble, Unfortunately, this girl who said sha wanted to be consider ed a woamn when she went to college, that she could come in at 7:15 a.m at Wellesly, that we were thinking in the 18th century, was given a dol lar for a best letter by our friends at the Carolina peace maker* Greensboro. We could never quite understand it? We certainly agree with “Ole Nosey” of the PEACEMAKER when he says; “You don’t have to be loud to be proud. You don’t have to be mean to be seen; get 'tne Green’and they’ll come looking for you!” Clar ence Mitchell of NAACP adds: “A dishelka doesn't make you an African; nor does an Afro hair style keep you from being an. American.” MEN’S DAY SPEAKER At Metropolitan Baptist Church Sunday was Attorney James L. Lassiter of Winston- Salem and Greensboro, a for mer local resident, now em ployed as a trade Specialist with the U. S.

Are you weary of stocking snags when the bureau drawer catches your hosiery? Match up your pairs, roll them lightly and pop them in a transparent Glad Bag where you can see which shade you want to wear without handling all your fragile nylons. Your bracelets and necklace jewelry all jumbled and tangled in a top drawer? Give them top drawer treatment. Make your bracelets glad in one bag and your pearls and beads in an other. They’ll never tangle again. *
