PAGE FOUR VSIWM! H T Voting Tuesday Raleigh citizens will go to the polls on Tuesday to decide three, issues—Whether we will move the city hall —Put fluoride in the water—Street improvement. All of these need serious consideration. They should not hi considered in the light that Ra leigh is no longer a one-horse town, but a growing city which should keep pace with the t imes. No longer can citizens of Raleigh expect to live under conditions that tend to retard. Raleigh has grown up and should think that way. We have no quarrel with those who would keep the city hall where it is. but we do think that serious thought should be given to the moving of the building for many reasons. The big tiring is bow much it will cost the tax Payers. We have been reliably informed that little or nc tax increase will evolve from mov ing to the proposed Morgan Street site. An other Issue is accessibility. Persons having business at city hall now find themselves with * parking problem that is very annoying and in many instances when one goes in to pay an overtime parking ticket, he comes back to find that he has another for paying the first one W* have been told that this situation will bt remedied if the building is moved to the new location. Another issue In favor of the proponents is that there is no doubt that Raleigh needs a modern city hall and should th£ coming bond Issue be defeated it will take four or five years before it will come up again. Procrastination is th# thief of time and certainly we cannot wait until 1961 to vote foi s new city hail. We need to act now, As to fluoridation not being chemists, we Oral Roberts In Raleigh f Th* International preacher who is alleged to have bested many sick hearts, bound up many broken hearts and given solace to so many disturbed persons came to Raleigh last week. What effect his visit to the state capi tal will have upon it remains to be seen. One thing we do know that he was not able to do very much about segregation, even though he is said to have made the declaration that ha would never preach to ’another segre gated audience, Persons who were known to have been intensely interested in bis meetings are known to have said that the declaration was made drat there would be segregation, m keeping with the practices of the state. His first night was so filled with curosity that there was not time for segregation to raise its hoery head and es a result brothers in Christ, of all races, sat awe stricken to listen to what he had to say As he to tell of his experiences and what be had able to do elsewhere, without any reference to argrt gstion in God's house, the congregation got into the spirit of the occasion and gave vent to fheir feelings with a little hand clapping and foot patting. He is said to have bad breakfast with Gov ernor Hodge# Thursday morning and on .Thursday night a pattern of segregation, after • fashion, was noticed. It was even rumored that members of the sheriffs department were »een in what was believed to be. an attempt to separate the lambs. Perhaps these acts of discrimination went unnoticed by the man who has traveled over the world trying to es The Passing Os George Moore The passing of George A. Moore in New Rem last week took from the stage one of the priori 1 respected churchmen and fraternal lead ers that the state has ever produced. George, ns he was known to his intimate friends, was considered one of the outstanding churchmen of the nation, He held high places in many Christian bodies. He had no peer in the fraternal world. He was a protege of j. Finley Wilson in the Elks and therefore had much to do with the policy of that Order, He was in position to put his candidate in office and wielded enough influ (Brice to keep those out who did not meet his approval. He always had what he termed jus tifiable reasons for landing his candidates. t He had away of endearing people to him and because of that was able so influence them nr to what was good for the democratic bodies , K to which he belonged. He carried this same technique Into his church life and was able to convince the powers-that-be as to what, was good and what was had for the temporal side of the church. Mis leadership will be missed in both phases of North Carolina life. He also made a contri bution to the civic and political life of the stete. He was a member of the special com mittee. that carne to Washington to appear be - fare 0i« lawmakers when the hearings were U= -v . .

'■ are not in position to say whether it will im pair the health of the citizens or improve it. We have listened to arguments on both sides. We do know, however, that it is being added in many metropolitan cities and we have had no protest of any more people dying than died before the fluoridation went into effect. What advantages that are to be derived from fluori dation went into effect. What advantages that are to be derived from fluoridation strikes us as outweighing those which would be dam aging, Here again we say each voter should study the benefits and the disadvantages and vote his or her conviction. The third issue that will be voted on will be to improve our streets. This has long since b«n one of the nightmares that have haunted our city for a number of years. There are so many advantages to be derived from improv ing our streets until we don’t think anyone would vote against that proposal. Certainly the Negro population should be intensely in tcrested in this matter. We understand that the money is available and all the City Council needs is a mandate from the people to go forward with the project. Again we say study the issues involved and vote your conviction. Raleigh must move for ward and not backward. Raleigh must keep pace with the time. Voting is a God given right and every qualified voter should go to the polls on Tuesday and vote his conviction. Don’t stay away from the polls. All issues af fecting Raleigh is of interest to you. It does not matter whether yor are a land owner or not. If you ent sleep and have your being in Raleigh, you should be interested, so be sure to express your opinion by voting an all the issues Tuesday. tablish the brotherhood of man and the father hood of God. It is hard to believe that Oral Roberts would would countenance segregation in any form and certainly he has to live with himself and it he has the milk of human kindness flowing in his heart, as ail true Christians are sup posed to have, we wonder how he brought: himself around to it. It will be a little more difficult for him to talk to Russia Red China about Christian democracy. Aside from this bad picture we hear that there wvr«- many people who were disappoint- Thtre were those who traveled from sh . away as Mississippi and did not even get in the assembly line. There were others who had certain misgivings and suspicions after at - tending one of the meetings. There were still others who are said to have not been able to meet the financial requirements. The first two are bad enough, but if there, is any truth about: the last one, then Oral Roberts has done him seif a disservice. There are millions of people who think that he is a true representative of Christ arid he made it unmistakably plain that he invited men without money or price. True Christianity is not strained, but rather plain It knows no race or color. Oral Roberts, if a representative of the Risen Savior, can not afford to practice anything but the true re ligion that works by faith and purifies the heart. He cannot dim bis influence by prac ticing one thing In one section of the nation and another in another section. He must preach only Christ and Him crucified. Any thing short of this makes him »n imposter. held on the Pearsall Plan. He often lamented the fact that his section of the- state did not wield enough influence when it came to voting to be heard and felt. The esteem in which he was held was at tested to by the huge crowd that attended his funeral. Rich and poor, high and low came to pay the last tribute of respect to a man who died in the harness His ability to meet people and to become so beloved by them so that they would follow his counsel in church and state could well be copied by those of us whom he leaves behind . A leader is not one who ap points himself, but one chosen by the people and his worth can only be masured to the ex tent that he is followed by the crowd. George Moore possessed this peculiar abil ity. He could calm a heated church congrega tion He could fake the floor in a fraternal situation and bring sobriety to a confused del egation. George Moore could whisper to a chairman of a meeting and the entire pro ceeding' would take a different course. These are virtues that any man would do weil to acquire. George is gone, but we hope that he has so implanted his virtues into the lives of people with whom he came in contact that his sober judgement, his wise candor and his per suasive argument will quell many seeming dis turbances. “May He Always Turn A Deaf Ear To Any Such Advice” (Ws are happy to resume our i relationship with THE CARO LINIAN, and through! its cote ' umns, greet, anew, our many friends.

A serious attempt was made to have the collaborators to con ■ ist ol every shade o: thought, from super-radical to ultra touserveilv»- But in the last •analysis it was found that all of the Negroes wanted the same things and this put at rest the oft-stated assertions that there were Negroes who wanted to settle foi Jess than full citizenship. As one of the fourteen and as teacher of octal pryciiclogj, the writer was the only one of the collaborators that took ac count of propaganda, as a fact or of great power in the ulti mate solutions and adjust ments.

When we consider the current appeal to propaganda and ine Negros limited resources, we can easily sense the difficulties that lie ahead.

Negro leadership could with great profit take more serious notice of this new departure in race relations. The Old South is naturally propagandist in its outlook In tliis nation these represen tatives of the Old South have built up an almost formidable anti-Negro sentiment. And so it has come about, the hydra heated octopus of race preju dice is just as evident in Bos ton as in Atlanta, sad that it i: subtle, makes no difference. With the current appeal in propaganda we inay expect a further delay in the attain ment. of full-fledged citizen ship if the propagandists of the Old South succeed in their cur rent "massive” undertaking. This does not mean that the onward and upward sweep of public opinion will not in the long run prevail; it means that the current efforts at propa ganda will make the run longer.
