cards were stacked against you.
Maybe all of those suppositions are
true. One the other hand, maybe
none of them are true.
It may be that in the final analy
sis all that was really wrong in
1956 was YOU. Very little has
ever been accomplished by an in
dividual for himself or for another
who felt that his success depended,
upon what someone else might
do, say, or think, or by thoee who
always blame their failures upon
everything except themselves. Suc
cess usually comes to thore who
believe they can attain success and
who will back up that belief with
faith, courage and perseverance.
Successful men and women have
learned to lean upon God for suc
cess, knowing that He always has
crowned every worthwhile endeav
or with successful fruition. It was
Christ who enjoined us to believe
that we had the things for which
we prayed and they would be ours,
If we considered ourselves as fail
ures in 1956. nothing can be gained
by moaning over those losses and
blaming others for them.
We can. arid should rejoice,
that we have a new year in
which to begin all over again.
VVr should, begin the new year
with an honest appraisal of
ourselves. We should examine
our thinking and not get out
of it resentment, doubts, fears,
revenge, selfishness, greed and
malice and refresh it with
faith and love. Our Father,
through His divine son, gave
us a commandment that is thr
very cornerstone of success.
“Seek ye first the Kingdom
of Heaven and its Righteous
ness and these other things
shall he added unto you.”
When you will have done that
the new year and all the year
will be happy and prosperous.
WHOSE BENEFIT: We will al
ways be the very first to confess
our stupidity and ignorance about
most things in general so it could
be possible that it is because of
nil-round dumbness why we fail
to see why Die taxpayers of this
city should be taxed 5i. 500.00 for
a downtown “business survey". So
far as we have been able to learn
such a survey will benefit no one
but the merchants operating in
wbat is known as downtown Ra
e sgh It is possible very possible,
that these merchants do need such
f> survey, maybe they could learn
many valuable lessons from a study
about the business needs and lacks
in their particular area, but why
mould you and 1 have to pay for
the enlightenment and business
t duration of Raleigh's downtown
merchants. The City Council has
a!.early approved this project, but
if this approval sticks we see no
reason why the merchants in the
5-Points. Cameron Village and
other areas should not be given
the same handout for a survey of
their business condirions.
MOON'S GREATEST NEED:
The .1. VV. Ligon Jr,-Sr, High
School has been dealt a stag
gering blow hv the loss of its
principal. Dr. VV. H. Watson.
The manner in which he was
sought after by many school
systems is ample proof of his
ability and qualification It also
gives an indication of the great
difficulty the Raleigh School
Board will experience in se
curing a proper replacement
for him. As scarce as such
type replacements must be, it
will be nothing short of tragic
i? a persaoti less qualified and
of less ability is put in charge
of that school.
The matter of who will become
principal of the Ligon -chool is,
of course, highly important and
of great importance but. the need
»t Ligon is far greater than what
might be involved by who is the
principal there Each year since
th.-u school began op -rating, it has
become more and more evident
that a grave mistake was made in
combining the junior and senior
high school programs together.
iso educators, everywhere are
how denouncing such setups and
•■ re saying they cannot be operat
■ d successfully. You do not have
io be an educator to see the many
Haws and disadvantages inherent
in a junior-senior high arrange
ment.
As a rule, students begin their
junior hirti school work at the time
■ n their lives when they need the
>' <‘st guidance, supervision and
counselling. Exposing these stu
dents to the influence, example,
and many instances, domination of
older students, very often creates
difficulties for these younger stu
dents from which many of them
never fully recover. The junior
■dgh school should be in a sense,
a laboratory, testing, proving and
preparing students for the exact
ing demands of the senior high
school In such a properly organiz
ed set-up as the separate junior
high school provides, each student
can be given the guidance and
supervision his individual needs
might demand. It is here that his
talents are tested and proven, his
weaknesses are detected and
t treogthened. Dr. Watson’s leasing
has created the need for a suitable
replacement, but the greatest need
at Ligon, is the separation of the
iwo programs now being under
taken there.
195 CS GREATEST ACHIEVE
MENT: It may be too early to
properly evaluate the many and
" aried achievements of tbe Negroes
in this country during 1950. A
complete listing of these accom
plishments, both on the individual
find group level will be eomni' -rl
nd. in all likelihood, even after
d is published, we will choose
'he Montgomery, Alabama Ris
Boycott as the most significant
»r,d crowning achievement of Ne
• 10c* in 1956 or fni most any other
,v«:ar.
In Montgomery, Negroes
demonstrated to their own sat
isfaction two very hnnortant
facts, !J) they could unite and
l"> in union lies slrength. One
of the mainstays of slavery was
the division thr white man
could ("*eate amone the Negro
slaves, By keeping tb-m divid
ed, he could krep them rn
slaved. Even though the phy
sical shackle* of slavery were
removed in 1863, the white
man has insidiously used the
device of division as one of his
weapons to keep the American
Negro in mental bondage. That
the Negroes in Montgomery,
under the God inspired leader
ship of the Rev. Martin Luther
King, was able to break down
that barrier of division and
unite, all levels, ail ages, and
present an unyielding, uncom
-1 promising front for freedom is
an achievement paralleling if
not exceeding any similar es
-1 fort in this century. Because
of that effort and thr success
1 of it, the Negroes in Montgom
ery have not only achieved
success and the respect and
dignity that always accompan
' -es the success of a cleanly
■ | fought battle, they have given
; inspiration, hope and courage
1 to others of their race who
: ! are nobly "following In their
i train."
• ! PRAISEWORTHY: A word of
• | praise is due the Negroes of Chape!
| Hill for their observance of Email
i cipation Day. The observance of
| 'hat momentous prclamation used
| to be religiously remembered by
j prayers, songs, and speechmaking
:on each and every January Ist.
| Those observances were perfectly
! fitting and proper because they
| tended to keep alive the great
j values of freedom and its price.
| Peoples of all races and nationali-
J ties all have a day in which they ! 1
| celebrate their liberation Some- ;
j h° w or other, the idea was con- ! !
I ceived by a few flea-brained Ne- ' ;
I groes that there was a stigma at- ! j
J tached to our emancipation. That i
J misconceived idea gradually gain- I ,
: ed ground until the January Ist! 1
j Emancipation exercises were all : i
| but abandoned. The Chapel Hill
j 1 evivai speaks well for the thought- !
fulness and gratitude of the Ne- i .
: gross of that area.

I've often told Jeff that if i

would be quick and unanimous. '
There just isn't enough room for j
anyone to go off to a lonely cor- i
ner and sulk.

i cause his favorite sport* shirt is i

“What I need is a personal I
Valet," Jeff fumed,
"What we need is an automatic
i washer,” I corrected him gently, i
Jeff looked around our tiny j
cottage.
"A. bulky piece of laundry
! equipment would push us out in !
the yard,” he said glumly, "This j
place is barely big enough for :
the two of us."
"What about the extra space i
in the bathroom?" I prompted. ,
| "Two feet is all it takes for a i
new RCA Whirlpool New Yorker ;
automatic.”
I told Jeff this new washer was
especially designed for small fam- j
dies in small quarters. And it has
the same top-of-the-line features
as larger models a built-in lint |
filter. 3-temperature selection, j
infinite water level control and !
two separata washing actions.
"Not only could I wash a full
R-lb. load of your shirts, I could

Year s greetings and then she re- ;
iated her experiences of the night, ;
such as having received several '
congratulatory telephone calls.
Earl savs that he then told
her he was going to retire and
she said she was going to do
the same. As he walked out of
her bedroom, into the hall, hr
smelled smoke-; He immediate
ly began an investigation and
found that there was a gust of
smoke coming out of the cor
ner of the hall. Just as he start
etS to the end of the hall the
flames roared forth.
He then told his mother that the
house was afire and to call the fire
department. He attempted to in- i
vostigate further, but the smoke :
and flames had cut him off - from j
her.
He said he could discern her ai !
the front door but was helpless to j
get to ho., A passerby broke i
: through the screen door and tried -
to rescue her, but she fell as he i
tried to reach her. Her clothes
were aflame and she was dead |
' when the flames were extinguish
ed
The son said he then broke out !
a back window and went around i
to the front, clad only in his trous- j
err. Upon arriving at the front he ,
i emernbored that his aunt was ttp
: stairs right over the room where i
j the flames were believed to have j
started The fire department had ;
arrived by that time and he told ;

they reached her she too had been
j overcome by the smoke and had
also tost her life as the result of
having been burned.

Institute Report, Race Relations
in the South--1986.
The report, released Mils week
by Dr. L. H. Foster, president of:
Tuskegee Institute, claims 'Race
relations In the South in 1956;
may not be measured by acts of
obstruction by the segregationists
or by the aggressive moves of the
desegregation, kits The situation
may be judged more accurately by
assessing the degree ol general
orderliness in activities affecting i
race relations. Despite some inei-i
dents of violence, desegregation
activities during the year were;
generally orderly, which was 8
most encouraging expression of
the vitality of American demo
cracy.”
This report emphasizes the
importance of legal desegre
gation. It asserts that, “Pat
tern# jf race relations within
the Rates and their suh-tli
visions have been developed
within the framework of law.
These patterns have differed
because of variations in state
and lor. 1 laws. The non-seg
