TRIBUTE TO A GREAT AMERICAN ROCKY MOUNT - If you listened and watch on TV the very impressive All-American funeral rites conducted in Dee Cee for our last former U.S. President Lyndon Baines John son, you must have gotten a lump in your throat if not a tear in your eye as the beautiful, truthful, tributes were paid to the tall, sun-tanned and terrific Texan who used to great advantage his native homespun philosophy during his years at the helm (we do not mean Jesse) of our Nation. Being President at a major turning point in the history of this nation, LBJ faced problems much greater than which cattle to breed or sell on his vast Texas ranch. It was a crucial time when America was trying to extricate itself from the dual standard of racial inequality toward its blacks and browns. History has recorded that one of Mr. Johnson's major acts of his waning administration was spearheading the enactment of the civil rights laws of the sixties, for which all minorities should be forever thankful. Lyndon Johnson stood, not only "tall in the saddle” as he rode his ranch, but when he (like Abe Lincoln) got in a wsition to do something great or the browns and blacks he saw mistreated when he first taught school in his Texas hill country he loved so well. May others get the impression he left! _ , The equality of four blacks and four whites as his pall bearers, and masterful singing of two selections bv Lynotine Price compensated for the lack of an integrated choir at National City Church. Two darkskinned women were ob served near the family. We assume they were clMely connected with Texfls While House suff. Then, prominent in the congregation was NAACP s Clarence Mitchell, Jr., known as the "lOlst senator”, who has watched over the actions of Congress and all Presidents for some 25 years, much to the advantage of Negro civil rijgWs. The above we saw on CBS-TV. But it was Chet Huntley on NBC-TV who closed their presentation of the funeral with a story about someone telling a cook to tell Mr Johnson that whatever the concern was about, to remember that, after all, he was only a man like anyone else, or words to that effect. The cook, a loyal servant, promptly replied (Chet related) "but he does not know g . savannah Lodge No. it ” 407, Prince Hall FiAM, 8 p,m,, ATLANTIC CREDIT UNION Thursday, Prince Hall Masonic WORTH $266,000 Temple, 515 Caswell St. ROCKY MOUNT - Atlantic , . , Credit Union, organized in this Feb. 12 - A. tobacco community in 1932, Lodge No. 792, Pr*"®* J®'* observed its 40th anniversary FiAM, 8-®® P "*-; with a meeting at Greater Mt, Prince Hall Masonic Temple, BY MISS IDA HAYES APEX - The First Baptist Sunday School began at 9:45 a.m. with the supt., Mrs. Alberta Cotton, in charge.

GUEST EDITORIAL Gifts From God More than 100 years ago. the famed and beloved American cleric. H. W. Beecher, wrote these inspirational words: •'Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made, and forgot to pul a soul into.” When Beecher expressed this eloquent and stirring sentiment, he echoed the heart*felt emotion that has motivated man. for thousands of years, to send flowers to bereaved loved ones when they have lost someone close. So strong is this emotion that even when they’re confronted with a request for a charitable contribution "in lieu of flowers," many people make the contribu* tion, and send the flowers, too. Such an expression of thoughtfulness allows them, at the same time, to be true to themselves and those they hold most dear. "A lawyer is one who de fends you at the risk of your pocketbook, reputa tion and life." (Eugene E. Bru&sell) AND RUNNER-UP — Pictured above are the winner and runner-up in the Miss Minority Enterprise Counseling Center coniesi wnicn conicuned recently in Rocky Mount.
