Columbus City stockade. City officials July 31 obtained a court order prohibiting any type of demon
strations. There were no reports of violence during the arrests. (UPI).
N Participation Plans
Cleared At Meeting
Thousands of black youngsters will be on the
move when Raleigh’s schools open late in August
to the tune of massive busing. On Tuesday, the
Raleigh School Board members, along with
several principals, released an outline makipg
suggestions for smooth integration of student
activities and study.
The 22-page release Included
such points as the manner in
which integration will occur in
school clubs, offices, cheer
leading, athletic aquads and
many other areas.
“We should let parents know
that the success of this plan de
pends on them taking a positive
attitude,” said Mrs. Elizabeth
j Cofield after a two-hour discus
" Sion of the concluded list.
“And we hope the press will
compliment the central office
for the magnificent job they’ve
lW done in staying on top of
things,’’ J. c. Knowles, board
member, said beseechingly.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Con
gressman John Conyers has
asked that serious considera
tion tie given to a two-part
plan which would maximize
black political leverage and open
the wa\ for blacks to form coa
litions with other segments of
the electorate. The proposal
calls for drafting a platform and
selecting a candidate to run as
the Democratic nominee for
President.
The candidate, running on a
people's platform would then
enter selected state-wide pri
maries between now and July

Ligon Junior High School the
colors, mascots, alma mater

Another point states that
“during the Initial weeks of
school, students and faculty will
be involved In selecting new pub

student body.. This may involve
retaining existing names,
choosing new ones, or reaching
compromise names reflecting
previous attachments.
“Recommendations will be

approval will be made by a vote
of the entire student body.”
In the area of athletics, stu

activities, will be able to ride

Explains
Drug Plan
(Ed. Note: The following story
is the first in a series written
by Ernest L. Raiford, Executive
Director of the YMCA here,
and member of the Board of
Directors of the Drug Action
Committee of Wake County.)
During the past year, the
Drug Action Committee of Wake
County has met weekly and some
times bi-weekly in a downtown
church for the purpose of plan
ning effective assistance to the
youth of our community caught
in the webb of drug abuse.
The guiding spirit of this com
mittee was and is a physician
in daily contact with youth who
have been “hooked” by addic
tive drugs and suffer thetorture
of the damned.
The drug committee has en
gaged in research in his area
and has reached the conclusion
that the county is now in a
crisis situation with some 1,000
heroin users, 40 per cent of them
hard core addicts.
A complete understanding of
this new drug culture awaits
further research and investiga
tion. However, much has been
learned and verified and should
now become the common juiowl
edge of the community.
Addictive drugs now seem to
be a legacy of the Vietnam
War just as tobacco use came
into greatly expanded use during
World War I, and alcohol in
World War D. We now have
three problems of groat magni
