4 THE CAKOmriJUV RALEIGH, N. CL. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 1. IM4 Editorial Viewpoint WORDS OF WORSHIP Jesus taught salesmanship. In a sense, without ever teaching it. Every one of his conversations, every contaot between his mind and others is worthy of the attentive study of any sales man ager. Passing along the shores of a lake one day. he saw two of the men he wanted as disciples. Their minds were in motion; their hands were busy with their nets; their conversation was about A Church That Gave $70,000 Os interest to the Raleigh religious and edu cational community was an announcement by Rev. Albert Edwards, pastor of the First Pres byterian Church, here during last Sunday morning’s service. The announcement was that $70,000 had been raised and given to Peace College during its recent fund-raising cam paign. We call attention to this suable amount of money raised by one church congregation as being a concrete example of what can be done for the much-needed private college by chur ches, especially when such church-related ins titutions depend so greatly on religious insti tutions for much of their existence. Presently Shaw University is a college who would benefit through church giving. As the CAROLINIAN has pointed out in its news columns, Shaw needs money NOW! The least Baptist Ministn-s can do is to lend the leader ship to their churches in seeing to it that plant are put in motion to raise needed cash for this What Hurts Us As A Race? In these years ahead the Negro race wishes to he accepted as first-class citizens following due process of desegregation gains. Through court decisions we msy win legal rights and advances, but will we be accepted or merely tolerated by whites? Presently, here are some things that hurt us as a race: 1. and boisterous behavior in public, further aggravated by the use of profanity or blackguard. 2. Riding buses and other public transpor tation facilities from work without changing our work clothes. 3. Sitting on our porches in our undershirts and with bare feet. Racial Gains In Raleigh For 1963 At the end of each year, or certainly the first of the New Year, we usually read of certain gains made during the past year. As would be expected, the newspapers carried, for example stories about Negro gains in several North Carolina cities—Charlotte, Raleigh, etc. Jonathan Friendly of the New s and Observ er, in the December 14, 1963, issue, reported that “Negroes have gained access to all indoor movie theatres, two motels and one third of the rrstaurants in Raleigh," as a result of the demonstrations and work of the Mayor’s Com munity Relations Committee of Raleigh. In addition, private enterprise and Federal. State and City governments have hired many new Negro employees and have upgraded the jobs they held during the last six months of 1963. The official Committee’s report noted that The Odds Against Smokers Wc have studied newspaper stories from va rious sources regarding the connection of ciga rette smoking with cancer. The most extensive study yet made on the effects of tobacco on health was reported by Dr. S. Cuyler Ham mond. chief biostatistician of the American Cancer Society to the American medical As sociation meeting in Portland. Oregon. It con tained the most devastating indictment of cigarette smoking ever made. It showed that death rates for cigarette smokers were more than double those of non smokers; heavy cigarette smokers were hos pitalized hnlf again as often aa nonsmokers; nine cigarette smokers died of lung cancer for every nonsmoktr. death rates climbed with the number of cigarettes smoked daily and skyrocketed with the depth of inhalation; pipe and cigar smoking is "practically innocuous" since inhalation is low; death rates of men who New Leukemia Drug Developed Through the years, our scientists have made rapid and consistent progress in finding cures or pallatives for certain dreaded diseases, of which one is leukemia. Scientists have developed a new radioactive drug which promises to lengthen the lives of patients suffering one form of chronic leuke mia. a Dallas research center reports. This report from the Wadley Research Ins titute and blood bank credited the discovery for nearly doubling the median survival time of 97 chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients treated with the drug. Median survival time is the medical name for the point at which half the patients in a certain group live longer and the other half a shorter time. It is said the median survival time for the 97 treated with the drug, called colloidal rirronyl phosphate P-12, is seven and three fourth yean. The previously reported high median survival time for chronic leuke mia, • fatal type of cancer, was four and three- THB motto PRESS — boherae that America can best had she worla away from racial and national antagonism* « rhan it accords to ever? mat ragardfaea of race, enter or creed, hi s human and legal rights Hating no ma> soaring no man ffts Negro Pram strives tohelp every man on the firm be Mat that ail man an hurt m long m anyone ta hald back. _ . : conditions in the fishing trade, and the proepects of a good market tor the day's catch.

While we don’t exect a church to give S7O, 000 to Shaw University as did the First Pres byterian Church for Peace Jr. College, we are sure, with unselfish Godfearing leadership that Shaw/dJniversity will get its just share of sup port from our fine Baptist and other interest ed churches. From year to year our world grows larger and larger. There are more things to support Bigger prices to pay to live are keenly appar ent. Our responsibilities as well as our privi leges are enlarged. And with this ever expand world we must learn to give more to our col leges, our charities and die perpetuity of the betterment of our future culture. The Baptist State Convention cannot be urged too thoroughly, at this time, of its privi lege to guide its hundreds of member churches in behalf of an institution whose rich heritage they have been so much a part in the past 4. Working hard all the week, and then spending our wages on jail and court fines because of fighting, drunkenness, cutting with razors and knives, and wounding others with weapons. sf> Hanging around street corners and mak *iQg ourselves public nuisances. If we want people to accept and respect us, we must improve greatly our behavior, devel op thriftiness, and acquire more education and training. The law and court, the NAACP, CO RE, and organizations cannot do everything for us in our quest for first-class citizenship. We must develop a moral integrity, and our words must be our bonds. We must do more than is required of us on our jobs, if we expect to get ahead. in Raleigh seven department stores and four grocery chains employed Negroes as clerks, that three industries hire Negroes for produc tion and office work, and that one utility was seeking Negroes for jobs that were formerly for whites. Furthermore, the report stated that 26 of the City’s 70 restaurants adopted nondiscrimina tory policies, that all facilities in variety stores and downtown drugstores were open to Negro es, and that City's public swimming pools and other recreational facilities were integrated. Small though the gains were, the progress made showed that much can be accomplished when the channels of communication are open by means of a Community Relations Commit tee such as we have in this city. In 1964, we certainly hope that we will make more pro gress than waa made in 1963. started smoking in their teens were much high er than those who took up the habit later in life; if a person starts smoking early, he will gradually smoke more cigarettes daily over the years and inhale more: death rates for those who have kicked the habit five years or more aome close to those for nonsmokers; the higher the degree of education the lower the amount of smoking; and there seems to be no relation ship between the amount of nervousness and the amount of smoking. The evidence accumulates with every scien tific survey. This one studied the death certi ficates. medical records and personal question naires of 422,094 men aged 40 to 80 in 25 states. - • Wc think that by publishing the facts a smoker can decide for himself whether or not he want* to give up the habit. sixth years. The patients in the study experienced “ex tended symptom-free periods with normal activity," scientists said. Some of the people taking part in the experiment are still living, several years longer than the median survival time for the group. According to a paper appearing in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, the new drug concentrates radia tion in ports of the body where leukemia cells infiltrate. Cancer cells are destroyed by radia tion. The skeptic may say. "But the new drug does not cure leukemia.” True enough, but it docs help add several years to the patient's life. The average normal person departs from this life all too soon anyway. Mid we certainly are grateful that science can add several years more to the life of a person who will eventual ly succumb to leukemia. Just For Fun BY MARCUS a BOULWABS PLAY VBBXIVAL Recently, our Speech sad Dra ma Department, here at Florida ARM University, sent me, one English professor, and two sen ior student drama majors to . Judge at a play factival at Cairo, Georgia. It waa actually bald at the Washington Consolidated High School at 4:00 P. M. last Friday, Jan. 34. 1004. I believe it waa District Five, of the Geor gia Interscholaatic organisation, of which the various high schools are members. Four schools brought plays, and later the winners were an nounced. But Just as we (judges) were shout to depart for heshe, a fifth school earns upon the scene. White most of the audi ence waa gone, the Judges were asked to remain to view the ploy. We received a small fee of thirty dollars for three judges. Since the two student drama majors acted aa one Judge, we divided the fee for three judges in three equal parts. This meant that the two students received five dollars bach. To my sur prise. I was also given a travel mileage check for the use of my automobile; I wasn’t looking tor it, but I waa delighted.

Everywhere he went, he was met by cheering crowds. In his speeches, the Senator did not have to explain why the economic and foreign poli cies of the New Frontier were Inadequate. He fired up his audlenoes until someone yell ed, “Down with the Kennedy*’’ and the cheering transformed Barry Ooldwater from a charm ing Senator into a knight on horseback ready to defend State's Rights. Terry Sanford, the only New Frontier governor in the South, sadly agreed last October that If the election were held then, Barry Ooldwater would sweep North Carolina. And North Carolina has been the most loy al of Southern Democratic strongholds. Stevenson carried the state both times against Elsenhower and Kennedy gain ed his beet majority there in 1960. But then the issue of civil rights for Negroes poked its ug ly bead through the fabric and Barry Ooldwater seemed the only cause nearby who would shove the head of equity back under the canvas where It had been stifled for so long.
