PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS \ f- circuses Nar allowed in If' RALEIGH CORPORATE LIMITS | 1 While a local daily through its edi-l tinl column believes the city’s entire pop-1 iu lat ion from all sections can be repre-' sented adequatep by a Council from one segment and section of the city, the •writer couldn’t have been too aware of the circus which had been granted a per mit to locate on the small tract of land adjacent to the Lucille Hunter School. Aside from disregarding the law regard ing circuses and the residents of this lack of toilet facilities, fire hazard (for in the event of a fire, it would be ex tremely difficult tfor a fire brigade to ‘ immediately ontrol a fire), the highway traffic is very hazardous to pedestrains (mostly children), attending the circus in so ongested an area. To date we know of no community ex tending an invitation to a circus to be guest of their area. Certainly the attitude of the residents s»hould be ascertained (excusing breaking the law) before granting permission for a circus to per form. But even after a petition against suh an aperance on the Old Soldier’s Home site by residents there and numer ous guests in the ast against circuses - occupying the Lucille Hunter area only two blocks away, it seems to The CARO LINIAN that the Council should be more aware of the wishes and requests of the citizens of this area of the city And it is the belief of this newsaper that a oun cii member from this area would be in accord with the wishes m the people of ihis neighborhood. There is enough at the Pair Grounds for such an occasion, and if not. the im mediate environs of Raleigh afford am ple space to accommodate this type of entertainment, foi people who want to iffo to circuses make arrangements to get there. And as long as the patronage was mostly white people, if was not the most convenient location, for the whole city knows this is a Negro residential section and one with a great portion of home ' ownership. In itie future we would like to concur with our daily’s commentary and we trust cur editorial will sene to bring this about, not only in cases of the circus but the many other things affecting the life of Raleigh's 65,000 thousand citizens. WANTED: REPRESENTATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE RIGHTS AT * ST. AGNES With two recent bond issues under our belts—school and street— there should be some definite policies relative to its ownership and administration before the hospital Dond issue is history. W ith the coming hospital bond issue there is one thing that should be specified —-a complete Negro administration. This newspaper can see no reason why the administrator of St Agnes should not be * Negro. Being a private institution makes it harder for public demands such as this one and The CAROLINIAN though •highly aware of hospitilization needs in Baleigh is also cognizant that jurisdiction would still be under private ownership of ithe Eiscopal Church.

LYNN HOLLOWAY, Managing Editor 1 PAUL B, JERVAY, Publisher ttical for u.s as a group to demand that, the hospital be deeded to the county whose responsibility it is to give adequate hose pitalization and not the Episcopal Church. The St. Agnes Hospital has done a credit able job, but present-day costs for facili ty, equiment, salaries, food, indigent pa tients and the like, make it too difficult to expect a pi ts ate institution to admin ister the needs of the* sick and the poor. Hospitals are not supposed to make mon ey, Tiiep are not a business. The public relations of St. Agues is such a component part, in fact such a sig nificant personal structure that keener thought should be given to this aspect of the hospital. A Negro administrator, as we well know, would align civic-minded clubs and organizations to the needs of the institution and gear the community of which he is naturally an integral part to the nice things hospitals need to create a more pleasant and happier place to be confined. W’e are all a part of the county, for we aid it with our taxes, and of course, w ■* would have at least a chance to have voice in its affairs, but to use our tax dollars •through private institutions where we have no voice is a bit far fetched to sav the least. And with the bond issue The CAROLINAN believes should also be county ownership and Negro administra tion, as well as more Negroes on the board to administer the affairs of theii institution. Too long have we supported bond is sues and politicians without due benefits to our community. Too long have we been overlooked in the planning for we have been planned for and not with. Too long have we been too lazy to do any chosen for us and not by us. And too long rave we been too lazy to do any thing about it. So with the third recent bond issue our request is lor a county-owned liosita! facility, Negro administration, increased Negro representation on the board, and a neenei awareness on the art of our leadership to also requst these most im portant features in the forthcoming bond issue. NOT BUND. JUST COCK-EYED A sentence of five years for manslau ghter in the case of the two hoodlums responsible for the death of Dr. Santa Cruz in Pulaski. Va„ let them off Ugli ly. It is arguable that there was no in tent to murder in the assault resulting in the respected Negro citizen’s death; but had two Negro hoodlums been re sponsible for the slaying of a white ci tizen of anywhere near equal standing with Dr. Santa Cruz under anything like similar circumstances, who thinks they would have got off with a five year sentence ? Who thinks they might have got oft with such a sentence, had 'they been molesting white girls, forget ting for the time being the matter oi the killing ? Justice is far from blind yet, in crimes which cross race lines. PRICE CONTROLS Some of the most ardent senatorial advocates of redution in government spending are the same ones who arc fighting price controls tooth and nail. et l harles Wilson, chief of the stabi lization program and himself a distin guished man of business, showed in his recent address that price advances have already cost the Government bil lions of dollars for the procurement of armed forces equipment and supplies. The United States would save billions for its taxayers through adequate con trols. j One senator is in favor of witholding control powers from the Administra tion because the President was late in using the power given him to apply ceilings. The reasoning seems to be that since there was a delay in using these powers thje President, arwi along with him, naturally the people, should be penalized bp clearing the way for higher prices and more inflations!

But despite the low value the public places on its teachers, they the teachers, are in fact the preservers of our civilization. Not only do our teachers instruct the children in the three "K’s”, but in many eases they give them their first lesson in moral values, their first les son in social living, and their first lesson in ethical conduct. The foregoing is realized more vividly when one considers the fact that many of our children come from' homes in which their parents arc not qualified academically and moral iv to instruct their children In the above usmrd things.
