Welcome Educators
(AN EDITORIAL)
The (-•tniitf of the S3rd North
Carolina Teacher* Association
to Raleigh is anticipated with
the same spirit of the coming of
the first robin. The coming of
the members brings a ray of
hope to us that a group of per
rons Is coming to the city as
si mhols of the true way of life.
The fact that they are edura
tors leads one to believe that
Ihev are emblematic of the
st ord education—meaning to
lead out
The robin typifies the fact
that the drudgery of winter is
last leaving. The ehilly winds
of cold weather have subsided
and all nature will sow be
Hits with that splendor that
only routes from the Father of
the universe.
He like to think that the
teachers who carry the “torch
of knowledge" into the ririo
rootns of North Carolina are
bringing to Raleigh that ray of
hope that dispels ignorance, In
tolerance and reaches for the
finer things in Hfe.
One loves to revel in the fact
that teachers are expected to
display an image of enltnrc
that embodies a sense of appre
ciation for the spfrttnai vaiaoa

it seems that young Regers had
been drinking and, while under the
influence, broke out a couple of
windows in the 400 block of S.
Bloodworth Street, costing a total
of $l5O.
Then he reportedly proceeded up
Martin Street, where he was temp
ted to throw a big rock through the
plate glass window of Vic Peebles’
Grill. Regers, apparently beginning
to sober up, decided against break
ing this window, however.
When he saw Police Officers C.
R. Aycock and G. D. Pearce cruis
ing near the scene on E. Martin
Street, he hailed their car.
After admitting his crime to
the tws officers, Rogers accom

In Exclusive
Interview
BY CHARLES R. JONES
In an exclusive interview with
The CAROLINIAN on the eve of
the 83rd Convex lien of the North
Carolina Tsechers Association, Dr.
Charles A. Lyons, Jjr„ executive
1 secretary of the 13,000-member
i body gave his reason* Wednesday
morning for not encouraging mem
bership in the North Carolina Edu
cation Association. Its White count
erpart, also in shim! on hers this
weekend.
“We believe hi Integration,
of eeurse,” said the fermsr Ells
-t—as- tlfaip ralldM i|Hl
"bubwe want TRUE integration
‘ mi all levels es any ergsalss
tlen, including the peliey-msk
log end.”
Although the NCTA does have a
few white members. Dr. Lyons co
in ves it can become a stronger or
anlzatinh by keeping intact the
i rogress made within its own ranks
and not become dissolved by the
now all-white NCEA.
Lyons continued, “We are for in
tegration In this way: that we, too,
help decide what is going to take
1 place."
“The leaden, of the two organiza
tions should sit down together and
discuss the total concept tl a truly
integrated body.
"We are now considered to be
something Inferior to our white
counterparts," said Dr. Lyons.
“It is a lark of accept*nee on
the white man’s pari and at the
prevent time, we are only tol
erated. I don’t want any kind
of toleration, but rather total
aceeptance on what wo (the
NCTA) eon merit."

ML CHABLER A. LYONR. JR.

Last week, Dr. Lyons Is slleged
to have said the NCTA would be
willing only to discuss merger with
the NCEA.
White delegates attending the
NCEA meeting here this week will
vote on constitutional amendments
to allow Negio memberships.
"Through our credit union." said j
Dr. Lyons, we are attempting to '
make our teachers become more
self-sufficient economic-wise.
“In the NCTA session* this
weekend, one of oor big effort*
will be to increase membership
In the credit onion.
"If wo can awaiwn In our mem
bers the economic influence or pur
chasing power toward creating new
