PAGE TEN The CAROLINIAN agrees entirely with the principle that an audience owes an obligation of courtesy to a speaker, and especially when that speaker is chief executive of the state Gov ernor Luther Hodges, speaking at A&T College, was not only speaking as governor of the State of North Carolina, but to an audience made up for the most part of young people attending an institution of higher Gaming maintained and supported by the state of which he is the chief executive, and was even more'obligated, there fore, to observe the rules of courtesy and d< corum But these rules, as do most, should work both ways. As nearly as we can judge, the murmurs that arose from the audience at A&T at a certain point in Governoi Hodges’ address were not snickers. Noi were they so much in protest of tiie views he expressed about the desirability, as he sees it. of the continued existence oi such educational institutions as A&T as they were in objection to his mispronunciation of tin word ‘Negro.’ Governor Hodges used the soul hern ism. ‘Ni gra.’ This careless and sometimes studied usage is offensive to Negroes, for the obvious reason that it sounds so much like ‘nigger.’ Those who employ it appear, wittingly or in erro. to he coming as near to using the distasteful and in defensible term as possible without actually doing so. There is good reason to believe that Governor Hodges’ usage did not grow entirely out of ig norance of the propei pronunciation of the word Becoming A Free Country Thf segregationists were right. They predict ed. sorrowfully and angrily, that the Supreme Court's decision in the public school case would mean the ultimate wiping out of ail segregation which had as its underpinnings the 1896 decision m the case of Plcssy vs. Ferguson. They sensed ■ that once the “separate but equal” doctrine had been abrogated in so important an area as public school education, it would not long He able- to survive in any other area. The in equalities established and rooted in the “sep arate but equal” fiction are to be ended, not by tackling the impossible task of equalizing fa cilities for all citizens, but by the much simpler and more straightforward method of recogniz ing the fiction for what it is and throwing it in the waste-basket where it belongs. So the Supreme Court’s decisions in the At lanta public golf course case and the Baltimore public park case caused no great stir. All the state and municipal laws and regulations par taking of the same nature are destined for the santf fate, as even Li’J Abner could plainly see. Former Governor Talmadge and his fellows were reduced by the High Court’s action to the recommendation that states and cities give up their recreational facilities, either by leasing or selling them, or by closing them. That is about ail I hat seems possible to be done legally, with the exception of opening public facilities to all the public. 7he Atlanta Constitution, on Novembei 9. had these wise and temperate words to say editorially: “A majority of • Southerners will be shocked and angered by this latest decision. Former Gov. Herman E. Talmadge, one of the leaders of the South’s pro-segregation forces, has said that those who do not agree with the court need not comply. That is. it still remains a matter of individual choice. It. was our earnest hope that Governor Hod ges’ Safety Committee would serve to deter fatalities on the highways of North Carolina, but the records show that they are getting worst. Now comes Wake County making a strong bid to set an ail time high for highway deaths for the state. Two deaths, on county highways. Monday night brought the total for the year to 52 in Wake. With more than one month to go and two holiday seasons in this span it seems ob vious that Wake will pass the all-time high set by Guilford County in 1946 when 55 persons persons lost their lives to highway accidents in that county. Something must be done. Drivers must; take stock of their driving. Pedestrains must become more conscious of the dangers that lurk on the highways. Drivers should decide here and now that because they have itching feet and a de sire to make their destinations as quickly as possible that they have no license to disregard the life and limb of other people. Drivers should become more conscious of the fact that they have a solemn duty to perform as drivers and an obligation to other people so grave that where they are going or when they are due are far less important than the life and limb of their fellowman.

On that basis it seems th-.t Governor Hodges was at least as lacking in i> spect foi the feelings of his audience as his au dience was lacking in observing the amcnites toward hint. This does not mean that the stu dents were right; it does mean that they win severely and unnecessarily provoked. We do not believe that Governor Hodges would take- the risk of using a term before an audience of Jews or Italians which he would have reason to believe was distasteful, even if he saw nothing in the term itself to make it so . or wns sure in his mind that he meant no offense, Gov< rnor Hodges has not been feeling too well about the way some of his proposals n gaiding Negro education in North Carolina have been received. That, however, should ho\-<- had no effect either on his diction or he- pronun ciation. If by som’t chance Governor Hodges truly and honestly dots not know that ’Nigra' is not an acceptable substitute for ’Negro' to the 30 per v ent of th< citizens of whom he is governor, somebody ought to inform him very clearly and plainly and very soon, of what the facts are Unless he is really ignorant on this point then his extremely curt identical notes in reply to the piesident, the 1 acuity and the student count»l of A&T College reflect a lack of grace on the part of an older and more experienced person which would be inexcusable in a youth. It will always be posible for private organ!-’-•i --tions to maintain their own recreational facilities to operate. Private schools will not at all be' under the jurisdiction of any court Chuicli congregations will remain free to make their own decisions There cannot be any into:fee cnee with the social preferences of the individ ual- It is an affront to all concerned to s t that on.lv a law prevents inter-mart rage ({talcs ours). Who visits whose home will always be a decision for the occupants of those homes. “Former Governor Talmadge has suggested that cities which so desire may sell or lease then recreational facilities. He suggested further that a great many will be abandonee!. All tins is un happily true, But it points up the fact that there remains the element of personal choice “ Public facilities must be public, the Court says, in the true sense of the word. The law docs not force any one to use them; on the othn hand the Court has ruled that by the law no one who has the right can be forced by low not to use them. It is conceivable that certain facilities may become all-Negro facilities as to use if not closed down, but that will simply Ir as a result of choice—choice to use them on the part of those who elect to; choice not to us them on the part of those who elect not to. Which is exactly as it should be. More likely to happen however is one or the other of the two alt* i natives of abolishing them, or the it us; by those entitled to their use, as the idea and the pattern win acceptance that it is only prop er that it should be so. Those who do not use them will be exercising their democratic choice and that choice include- an elimination of thr necessity for giving any reason for it. racial or otherwise. The U. S. is byway of becoming what we have taken for granted, and unwarrant edly, for many years—a “free country.” P( destrains should exert more sense than a chicken. Most of you have noticed that a chic ktn suddenly decides to go to the other side of the road for no seeming reason whatever than be on the other side of the road when the ve hicles passes. In many instances they lose their lives due to the fart, that the chase ended in a tie and the chicken’s frail body could not stand the impact of the car. The bad part about the accident is that the chicken, in most cases, is not even fit for the pot. Too many pedestrains. like the chicken, de cide to make the race with a car and they too are losers in the race and are only fit for the undertaker when the race is over. This should not be. Pedestrains should know better. They are supposed to be equipped with more brain matter than the chicken. They should know that their bodies are no match for steel, iron and other things used in building automobiles. Pedestrains and drivers alike muts make up their minds that life is precious and even though they might not value their lives, they are endangering the lives of many others when they do not use sane habits on the high ■ ways of the state.

The article comments on the success of the magazine Phony, a publication primarily for Ne gro readers, which is celebrat ing its tenth anniversary, and h;<s been a great success. Time attribute. 1 : Ebony's survival and growth to the fact that its pub lisher. John H. Johnson, learn ed that the tastes of Negro readers and their consequent, reading and reading-matter buying habits were changing. “Ebony, flourshing at first on a spicy diet of sex and .sen sation. dropped 100,000 circu lation last year.

A- Chick, Sr. A GROWING YOVTH One does not have to be a specialist ir. economics to be aware of the growth of indus tries in the South. No longer can the South be spoken of a a land of cotton and tobacco. In the recent conference of Southern Governors, plans wee mapped out in which the South is endeavoring to acquire third of the nation’s indust! ics by 1956 —-ten years from now. Anyone who reads the news papers and magazines publish ed outside the South must have noticed the advertise ments in the same of South- rn States bidding for industries. Several reports indicate Him the foregoing advertisement s are having astounding success Many of the old-line indu: - tries are establirhinii branches in the South. And, not only are the old-line industries estab lishing branches in -he South. but the South is developing in dustries of its own. of ac cord and with Southein capi tal The South at last has awak ened to the economic fallacy ol sending its raw farm pro ducts to the North and the y v ',- r ; there to be oraces-r-d into finished eoocis and :.-old back to ihe Southern people at a much •‘added value", a higher price. man has always leaned toward material thing?, and that Is why old Satan on the Mount even boldly attempted to in veigle Christ into letting rea son take wings. 3. But the Devil soon found that Christ believed in Sobrie ty and variety, and not Bread alone: and thus following His righteous program such per sons would finally reach His Father's Tin one. 4. There gracious spirit from day to day would chime dull care and fear away, and admiring souls as they witness them passing by, have their hearts uplifted to the Father on high., 5. Such lives as those bt mu God’s Kingdom near, with lit tle or no thought for their own comfort or cheer: believing full well what they fail in material blessings to receive cl.vn here, will be received a hundred fold in heavenly wealth over there. 6. Yes. there will be many things real Christians will not be given down here, because they don't speak Satan's lan guage nor him do the:, fern but. my, what rejoicing when they get up there with all in h ven awaiting and God cue Father ever near. 7. For all ol this, the re buffs and trials down here are negligible when compared with the heavenly arrangements the Father has prepared. -md throughout the ceasele.se cycles of eternity, with, His faithful ones to be- shared 8.

No one today can even pretend to be a Christian and dodge these practical issues, He now saw that the real tragedy ol the church was that most people had reasoned that those vital issues of life were no; within the providence of ihe church.
