proximately 95 percent of the na
tion’s station ushers, as well as

.&H' THE TALE OF 1
SE| SIX CITIES jj
PERKY J. THOMPSON 11|
June 10, marked the first time in the history of North Carolina
that a 18-page weekly newspaper was published as a public service
to the colored citizenry.
The CAROLINIAN takes pride j n being the pioneer.
But the job is just begun. We look to you, our readers and ad
| \ ertisers to make this a permanent institution.
In this fast moving world of progress, mingled with chaos,
one of the strongest instruments mankind has, is the pen.
Without the' medium of the newspaper we would be ignorant
| of many important details that go to make up our American way
I of life.
We live in :> world of specialization and concentration and the
; so-called minority group must keep abreast with the times.
Jt i.s well that we read what others are doing and to read what
; they are saying. By the same token, It is just as important that
• others know what we are doing and saying
In the six towns that were added to our already established
“CAROLINIAN", your scribe, in the very short span of a few weeks
! found a wealth of important contributions the citizenry is making
, not only to North Carolina but to the nation as well.
Unless those facts are recorded and published for the informs-,
i lion of our neighbors, we have created little or no incentive in
; others to be interested in our existence.
We haw always made contributions to civilization. We always
: will. But it isn't always we have had a medium here through whieu
we could adequately express ourselves.
In your town you want colored policemen, or in another you
rued a VMCA. You need paved roads in this city or better schools
in that county. These and other necessary things are only acquired
when you make yourselves vocal on these issues. This is where
. the CAROLINIAN, your paper, comes in.
Who knows better what you need and why you need these
■ tilings than you?
Who do you think can or will champion your causes better than
■ you?
What other paper has been put at your disposal as the CARO
; LIN IAN has?
