Children
May Benefit
From Ruling
BY DR. JAMES E. ALSBROOK
A recent decision by the Cali
fornia Supreme Court could
become national policy and
drastically improve the quality
of education for black children
throughout the nation.
The high court of the Golden
i state lus decided by a six-to
\ one vote that the "equal pro
tection" provisions of the 14th
Amendment are violated when
school children indifferent dis
tricts do not have equal educa
tional opportunities.
This new-found violation of
the 14th Amendment, the court
said, was a result of the pres
ent system of financing public
education. Schools in most
communities are financed
through local property taxes
with supplementary funds com
ing from the state.
When some communities are
poor and others are wealthy,
the court found, the amount of
money spent per pupil varies
up to 50 per cent. The dif
ference in available funds is

In an interview appearing in

Wake Area
Gets Loan
And Grant
BY EARL MASON
Tuesday morning at 11
o’clock, the weather out
side the Wake County
Courthouse was beauti
ful. The sun was shin
ing and the temperature
was in the seventies.
The chance of rain was
nowhere in sight.
But on the seventh floor in
the office of Clifton L. Wood
lief, the county supervisor for
Farmers Home Administration,
the "sound of water" could be
heard, not from rain falling on
the outside, but in the minds
of the representatives from the
Feltonsvilie community.
James T. Johnson, state di
rector for FHA, presented two
checks to James Laster, pre
sident of the Feltonville Com
munity Organization, totaling
$67,000. This money will be
used to get running water for
the predominantly Black com
munity.
Oiu; of the checks was a grant
from FHA of $30,000, and the
other chock was a loan of $37,-
000 from the same organiza
tion. With this money, the en
gineers and other people
responsible for establishing the
water system in Feltonsvilie
can go ahead and institute the
new water system, which will
be hooked on to Holly Springs.
According to one of the en
gineers attending the presen
tation cermonies Tuesday, Fcl
tonsville should have running
water within six months.
For the people of this 90%
black populated community,
running water will be the full
ment of a dream started in
1968. At this time, the com
munity organized as a non
profit organization. One of the
main projects for the Feltons
ville Community Organization

Justice In

Says Expert
WASHINGTON, D. C. - A
noted southern legal authority
today charged that “From top
to bottom, Southern justice is
white” but that the South shows
more promise than any other
region “in realising legal jus
tice for blacks.”
In a copyrighted article in the
current (Oct.) issue of Ebony
magazine, Dr. Kenneth S. Tol
lett declared, “From jurors to
lawyers, from prosecutors,
constables and sherriffs to jud
ges, from councilmen and ma
yors to state officials and legis
lators, there has been grossly
inadequate participation by
blacks in the machinery of jus
tice in the country as a whole,
but especially in the South.”
Painting a grim picture of the
situation today, however, is Dr.

INQUIRING REPOR TER |
THEY SAY
BY STAFF WHITER k
Do you think the election of the Raleigh City
Council should be changed to the ward system
rather than the present open system? Why?
Mrs. Janet Marchena
“I think the city council should
be elected according to the ward
system, because this will give
every community better repre
sentation on the council. A per
son elected from a certain area
will have more interest in the
conditions in that area rather
than a person elected from
anywhere in the city. A per
son elected from a certain ward
would be more aware and have
a deeper concern about his a
rea, because he lives In the
ward himself.”
C.E. Brown

should be adopted because I
believe this will give Blacks
or minorities more power In
electing officials to the city
government."

Mrs. Hinton reported that a re
