ASKEW VISITS MT. ZION ROCKY MOUNT—The Rev. Cor nelius Edward Askew of Zebulon and Raleigh was a visitor to his former pastorate—Mt. Zion Baptist Church—-here Sunday, where he enjoys the distinction of being one of the few living former pastors still well-liked and admired by the congregation and community in general. Dr. Askew received his honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Shaw University in 1915; and lha same honors from Benedict Col lege. Columbia, S. C., the same year. The amazing thing about Dr. As kew is that he is la not only still able to travel, but still loves to preach and is alert to the changing timos at ninely-four. yes, you reao correctly—94 years of age! Rev Askew served the local Mt. Zion Baptist Church three years— -1910-13: and they are always glad to have him return and preach to them today. He filled the pulpit frequently, a few years ago, while the church was without a minis ter. Only his advanced age pre vented the congregation from con sidering Askew, again, for their minister. Steadying himself wtih his cane as he tipped a soft drink and took an occasional draw on his pipe. Dr. Askew bemoaned the present strife end bickerings now going on in his former ministry of fifty years ago. Askew recall that nearly all his schoolmates have 'crossed-the-bar' —those he has been able to keep in touch with He could name only Charles R Frazier. Shawite end former Raleigh banker as still re maining. Askew has a son in Cali fornia. whom he visits, occasionally, but prefers to remain on the East Coast where there are still friends who know, love and respect him: with whom he can visit and spend his last years in peace and as much tranquility a* this topsy-turvy world will permit. Having heard much of him from Rock Mounter*, the writer was first privileged to meet Dr Askew when, passing through Zebulon. we were fortunate enough to have him thumb a ride with us into Raleigh. ' on his way to get some books from the Baptist Book Store to read Since then, we stop whenever we see him. to greet the venerated true servant of the Master's Kingdom. May God grant that his shadow of genuineness may fall on thousands of others who say they ar* 'called of God'. Askew is a Hertford Coun ty native, who has been preaching sixty-eight year*. LEMUEL HAYNES was a Negro hero of the Revolutionary War p* rlod, who was bom July 18. 1753 at West Hartford, Conn, of a pure blood African father and a white woman of respectable New England ancestry. He fought with the Min ute Men at Lexmgton-Concord. FORD SALES and SERVICE ALLAN MIMS, Rinirol ITU Telephone S-SI9I IU TAKBOKO ST RUt ks MOUNT. N C are capable of being aroused about the conditions of your fellowman to ttte extent of going out to do something about this horrible de pravity! YOU CAN DO SOMETHING A BOUT IT. And just demonstrating on the streets Is NOT the COM PLETE ANSWER to our depriva tion of equal Job opportunity and education. You see, this social con dition has been ‘eating* on us ax a cancerous growth within the body politic of America for centuries. It has only caught up with us since the recent period to lastly automat ing industrial growth. Also, the 1954 U. S. Supreme Court desegre gation decision further accelerated the opportunities for Negro ad vancement and—like a baseballer caught off base with an unsuspect ed pick-off throw —Negroes had not been sufficiently educated to grasp or cope with the new era due to the infernal jim-crow system which had eternally doomed them to re main years behind whites. Edson cites the example of a hard-work ing young Negro twenty years re moved from Ole 'Sissippi who had worked up to as high as $295. a week’ when his plant left town and turned his job of pulling wool and grading hide over to automa tion, leaving Willie behind because he had only a second-grade 'educa tion'. There was NO PLACE for him, so Willie ended up on relief roles. Thousands of others similarly situated have been on relief for years. Thousands of others similar ly situated have been on relief for years. Many cases reflect the ‘sec ond generations' demanding hand outs. where a city has ‘130.000 func tionally illiterates who can’t read simple instructions. WHAT CAN YOU AND, I DO" You can. first of all and easiest, JOIN the NAACP TODAY; you and ALL YOUR FAMILY and then try to get your neighbors and relatives to do likewise. Then all of you learn how to REGISTER and VOTE in registration clinics set up in chur ches, clubs, lodge halls, schools and homes, and make a steady march to the registration booths and when election time comes around vote for a new Congressman or Senator if the present one is not helping to enact laws that will benefit your best interests. Let's show Senator Ervin and Jordan and all our Con gressmen who are filibustering a garnst our rights to a better way of life that w>e really count in the ballot box. Only then will they stop throwing our letters In the trash basket and voting against us Then will we begin to get out of the poverty cycle—most of us, at least.
