* f THE C&BOyMI&K RALEIGH. N. C., SATURDAY* OCTOBER 26, 1669 Bible Thought Os The Week 4 The Bible ieUH us that Jesus stayed in the wilderness forty days and was tempted es Satan. If Jesus did .ifA have & real tempta tioh, the forty day's struggle has no real significance. But the temptation was real, and H® eoaquared. The youth who had been a carpenter stayed in the wilderness and a Man Editorial Viewpoint We Are Guilty; Too Much Thrown Away Americans are in the habit of throwing away lar more than is neces sary. In certain situations where there is no abundant amount of things in the first place, there isn’t much to throw away. One columnist told the story of her daughter who, upon a visit home from Germany, inqui red about things she could have her pupils make. The pupils being children of military personnel )}&d no idea of where to look and how to make simple things from what was available and at little or no cost them. If one were to sit and think, there is hardly anything one throws away that may instead be used for any manner of undertakings. Let us consider how two eggs can fit into a small cold juice can. This is a handy bit of information in the event one wants to take a couple of eggs on a picnic. A person can cut up empty beer cans and contrive tin flowers out of them. Painted in bright colors, they are very attractive. The small fry may not be capable of makingthese, however. Take the plastic milk bottle, for example, 'because it can cause a great deal of concern about what to do with it. You don’t need it, you don’t want it, and you have no place to store it. Nevertheless, it seems such a shame to cast it away. Most people do, however, because there Within the last three years, there has been much talk about abolishing Florida A&M University, the pre dominantly black institution, at Tal lahassee, Background: Two state universi ties are located in Tallahassee— FA MU and Florida State University (FSU), the predominantly white in stitution with nearly 18,000 students, Both FAMU (4,000 students) and FSU are the aftermath of segrega tion, and were considered needed at that time. With the coming of integration, some legislators are crying loud and long about saving the taxpayer’s money by merging the two state universities, Ttiey say that duplica tion is too expensive, and that it doesn’t make sense to have two state universities in the same city. (We say “let the officials stay drenched In their own sinful and political ways,”) The best set of arguments made for the continuance of FAMU, with the exception of the national cry. that it is needed for the disad vantaged, are those outlined in Oct. 15 issue of the St, Peters burg Times (Fla.) e 'They include: 1, FAMU, an 82-year -old in stitution, is now integrated like all other Florida state institutions; so tne isoue of segregation is a mute question. 2. Merging the two universities would work a hardship on students and accomplish no useful purpose. Just as many professors, staff mem bers. buildings* would be needed to accomodate the student load. 'Negro Mill Proposed In In South Carolina Plans have been announced for the first Negro-owned textile rail? in South Carolina, a s4~rnillion spin ning mill in an industrial cotriplex near Biahopville. The industry will be named Bishop Mills with James!,. Felder as presi dent and board chairman. The fac tory will be in the most serious term “an equal opportunity em ployer” giving work to Negroes and whites. While we don’t know the detail of the financing, we do know that Lee County, of which Bishopviße is the county seat, has been designed as a depressed area, eligible for govern ment aid. FAMU Should Be Autonomous came out. Not a full-fledged Madder, for K@ still had much growth to make, much pro gress in vision and self-confidence, But the beginnings were there. Men looked upon Kim from that hour and felt the authority of one who has put His spiritual house In order, and knew dearly what He was about. is a iirmi to how many of these bot tles one can keep. As you purchase items each week for the household, almost daily you come upon items packed in new and quite fascinating containers which look re-useabie and probably are; so there is a continuing mental hassle with us about getting rid of them. One housewife said she gets eggs and sometimes meat packaged in unique containers that appear to be made of plastic soapsuds, or any way, that’s sort of what the stuff looks like. She dangles such an item in her hands and approaches the trash can with reluctance, feeling sure this is something that could lie used for something. (This is a splendid gesture, since most of us throw things in trash can without even thinking it.) Another housewife said she never sees “one of those little ring-like gismos that come off beer cans when they are opened that I don’t feel the urge to think of a use for them.’’ Think of what you might do with brown and white paper bags. They can be used to put trash or can be cut up into wrapping paper. They should neve give you a qualm, since they are useful enough not. to think of throwing away without some use being made of them. There would be little of any savings to the taxpayers. 3. From the students’ viewpoint the merger would be harmful to their interest, FAMU’s admissions requirements are different from those of FSU. Also it cost less money to attend FAMU because its charges and fees are lower. If the institutions were merged and the standards of FSU applied, half and or more of those now* en rolled at FAMU would be denied an education. The St. Petersburg Times, noted for its constructive editorial policy, ranks easily among the top five southern newspaper as a personali ty. We agree with the Times that “Florida enrollment in institutions of higher learning increases by the quarter. Plans are on the boards for new universities and expansion of existing schools when funds are available. This is no time to aband on or merge institutions so badly needed,” We disagree with the Florida of ficials’ argument that with two uni versities in the same city, “there would be too much duplication.” So what? The American economy ex ists upon the philosophy of duplica tion’—to wit: Winn-Dixie Stores, Howard Johnson, A&P stores, banks, clothing stores, and what have you, The important thing to remember is that “it is the need for institu tions that count most.” The argument that FAMU and FSU should be merged to save the taxpayers money, and to avoid du plication,” is just so much “torn myrot.” Bishopville is located about 50 mlies east of Columbia, the capital of South Carolina. Therefore, the location seems beneficial for such an industrial concern. There was a time, years ago,that Negroes could expect little in the way of decent employment at South Carolina textile mills. More than this, the black unskilled worker was “few and far between”, as the say ing goes. In this first black .enture, the idea of equal employment is a good sign. We congratulate the promoters of this industry, and may its existence be a blessing to tne people of the community. Only In America JUSTICE CLEMENT FUR MAN HAYNSWORTH One thing we all knew and that was that if elected Rich ard Nixon was not going to appoint any flaming liberals to the Supreme Court. He has exercised two appointments: Chief Justice Warren Burger and now Clement Furman Haynsworth and w'e were all as right as rain. No one foresaw that Abe Fortas would resign, but once he did resign, Nixon was odds - on not to appoint another Jew. During the campaign, Mr. Nixon said he did not believe in ‘•Jewish’* or “Southern” or “minority” seats on the court and besides, the Jews didn’t vote for him. The Jewish vote is always important because almost all of the Jews vote and the great majority of Jews vote the same way. Since he was bound and de termined to appoint a con servative, Richard Nixon could have done worse than Clement Haynsworth c.f South Carolina. In fact, he could have done a lot worse. He could have let John Tower of Texas name a Lone Star judge in order to shore up that state for the ‘72 election, Mr. Nixon has South Carolina. On the racial issue, Justice Haynsworth is a Southerner, a bone-of-the-bone, blood-of the blood son of Use old South. After the Supreme Court de cision cf 1954, the late Judge John J. Parker, Chief of the Fourth Circuit Court, wrote a directive to his judtclal colleagues stating "what he thought the Supreme Court had decided and what it I'.ad not decided in Brown vs, the Board of Education. Said Judge Parker, the Supreme Court has decided that segregation in the public schools is un constitutional but it has not decided that integration is the law of the land. Judge Haynsworh and the Jest For Fun BY MARCUS H. BOULWARE FILTHY RICH vs. FILTHY POOR If a university has been charged with catering to tne wealthy students, we must be considerate. How can the of ficials differentiate between the filthy rich and the filthy poor—at least not by dress. it is not east to get a park ing ticket these days.

Here tofore, the blacks and the whites for economic reasons had to leave tne South tn search of adequate employ ment and other advantages. With regard to the blacks in the South, an entire social evolution has brought about many changes as well as the opening of many Job opportuni ties. Equality of travel, mo tels, hotels, public parks, while plants of national level have relocated in order to ex pand, save money, and at the same time, offer employables an opportunity to work in their communities or neighboring ones, The blacks once and for all should realize that what is generally offeree mi the North is being offered in the South. Education is a prime neces sity anywhere one travels in view of getting employment. The spirit of hospitality is realistically employed in the bouth, which may serve to ease tension. In the North, the hustle arid bustle way of life is causing love and sym pathy to sleep.

BY HARRY GOLDEN other Southerners on the bench agreed with what was probably the only nonsense Parker ever announced until the Supreme Court made it more and more explicit that it Intended to in sist on the complete integra tion of all public facilities, especially the schools. There have been in the last 15 years nine decisions on in tegration. Congress has pas sed three sweeping Civil Rights Acts. It is unlikely that Justice Haynsworth can prevail upon his colleagues to reverse this trend. It is unlikely that he will try. But Chief Justice Burger ana justice Haynesworth can have considerable influence in reversing or halting the trend of the court in crimi nal decisions. Justice Haynesworth and Burger can exercise consi derable influence in reversing some of the liberal labor de cisions of the lower courts. The Dee ring-Milliken case is still in the court Deering- Milliken closed down its plant after the employees voted for a union. The National Labor Relations Board ruled Deer ing-Milliken owed Its em ployees back pay for the time they were out of work It is a crucial case for the labor u nions of the South which ate weak enough because if the court upsets the ruling of the NLRB the Deering-Milliken tactic will become the tactic of thousands of plants who want to defeat unionization. What distinguished the Eisenhower administration was the appointment of a su perb court. That court, among whom were Warren, Stewart, and Brennan, made law where Congress couldn’t or wouldn't. It would be nice if Richard Nixon left America the same legacy. Only Byron White re mains from the Kennedy years and only Thurgood Marshall from the Johnson years. On,? of the virtues of popu larity of modern songs is that they don’t last long. There is nothing to remember. WAITRESS WALKS AT 6?

In the North, there are too many Toms, Dicks, and Har rys, standing in the way of progress with little or no knowledge. Much of the wast ed humanity that you people in the South would have to deal with for social advancement has relocated in the North, You have less community compli cations, The opportunity in al most every of walk of life in the South has advanced be yond doubt.

Some think even these re quirements are too strin gent. They advocate that the voting age be lowered to IS. Tims, It is interesting to look at the voting require ments in other countries.

Economic Highlights An inborn trait of man is a desire for ever -greater mobility. As infants, we get a!»ut the best we can in baby walkers. From there, we move steadily up the scale of wheels, wings and rockets--not to mention the craft that travel on the waters of the earth. These range from high-speed outboards to ocean liners. Rare is the man who is not irresistibly at tracted to some mode of transport. We have our railroad buffs, honda enthusiasts and auto fans. Even that anicent servant of man, the horse, has enjoyed a rebirth of populari ty. Overshadowing all else are the vehicles that now carry travelers to the edge of space. The most fantastic creation in the ,]et category--and the most controversial--is the supersonic transport or SST. The SST, at least as far as the U. S. is concerned, is con troversial because of its cost and the sonic boom that accompanies flight at speeds fastei than sound. Many oppose the introduction of the SST on both counts. But, it is inevitable that it will come as have other means of transport that were strenuously opposed in the beginning. The first glimpse of travel in the age of the SST will arrive when the 130- seat, 1400-mile-per-bour Concorde-jointly built by the French and British-goes into service around 1973. Since the SST will soon be a fact, the maga zine Nation’s Business has devoted a fasci nating article of its impact on our lives. The article is aptly entitled, "Coming: the 12- Kour World.” To start off, it cites a basic rule that has held true for thousands of yea is, _ namely that every time you cut travel time in half you double the volume of traffic be ’•••een two points. On this score alone, the SST will revolutionize human relationships and ways of doing business to an incalculable ex tent. From the standpoint of a businessman, the SST will mean daily commuting between the IT, S, and Europe and other points on the globe. A businessman may learn Chicago or New York for example on an early morning flight, spend the day !n London and return Officials in the Army use the word “contain ment” when it refees to campaigns designed to limit the actions of other people. Local, state, and national leaders use the words “i&w and order.” "Containment" and "law and order" mean almost the same here. But, law and ogder has lately begun to mean "keep the Negro in his place.” Over the years, the "place” reserved for the Negro has been the bottom of the bottom. Quite a few of us have made it to the top. Many accomplished this by becoming the first of our race in a particular area, and still others got to the top by being the best in the area. Yet, for most Negro-Americans, the "top" has only meant the top of the bottom. With a shove here, a hand-out there, and a "will not be turned around” attitude some where else, a few other bottom-dwelers are leaving their first homes. You see, we ali start out at the bottom. However, seme only stay seconds, while others stay for lifetimes. You have never seen a new-born baby wearing diapers, have you? Someone has to give him one. But, many Negroes go all the way property valued at 500 lbs, for the three months prior to registration, or own & registered mining location, or haye an income of riot less than 2*40 lbs. a year.

WHITE ing. Until 1961, Denmark dis enfranchised citizens who were receiving public assis tance.

If the home in the afternoon. Within a few years, in the view of Nation's Business, there will very likely be a New York- London shuttle. , The SST presents physical problems to *• which the traveler will have to become ac climated. In the words of Nation's Business, ‘•'lmagine what it will be like for a supersonic executive to fly through six or seven time zones on a west bound trip and then fly back, through those same time zones on the home ward east bound trip the following day. The poor fellow will be bollixed up for a week.” The rhythm of the human system finds it upsetting when the normal routine of eating and Sleeping is disturbed, p.ut, as the astro nauts have proven s<j conclusively, man is an adaptable animal, particular}’ the businessman. He will make the transition to the SST just as he has made other transitions in ages past. What will it be like to fly on an SST? Here again, Nation’s Business presents some fasci nating information. The passenger **. . . will feel and hear an extra amount of thumps, bumps and grinds as the aircraft's wheels and then its nose come up. . .As the Concorde , moves into supersonic speed the ‘droop snoot' t nose eases up and locks like a bird’s beak . . At 60,000 feet. . . Passengers won’t be able to see much through the windows because. . . delta shaped wings. . .blot out the view.’’ As the SST slips along at 1,400 miles per hour, friction will heat its outersktn to some 21.2 degrees, but the air-conditioning system will keep passengers confortable. The big question is not whether there will be SST’s flying, but what will come after them. Again, quoting Nation’s Business, . .man already has a name for bot! the next type of airliner and the type to come after that. After supersonic will come the hypersonic transport; The HST. And then wiP come the sub-orbital craft,'’ And after than perhaps it will be space craft for travel to the moon or beyond. What ever it is, the American businessman will utilize it to widen the horizons of commerce and to enhance the well-being of people every where through life "naked". It takes a "never say never" approach to life for us to get above the crowd now. No longer is there an abundance erf helping hands available without a price tag. One hand is out to help while the other is out to collect your dollar. The Chinese always say, "No tic ket. no laundry," Today, most everyone says. "No dollar, no help." It is not necessarily a dog eat dog world. But, if you stick your hand in the dog’s mouth, he will more than likely bite you. It is the same as saying that you cannot be fir ed from a job you do not have <so, the dog does not bite!, but if you do not produce or work on your job, you will surely lose it touch, the dog bites hard). What we are saying is this. Things are not getting any easier for us. If anything, things are getting harder. We have got to take the position that it is “me against them”, because that is really how things stand right now. If you don’t believe it, stick your hand in a vicious dog’s mouth, Yes, vicious because life is vicious. voter casts his vote for the ' party candidate, he is a loy al citizens.
