TRIBUTES AND CRITICB
ROCKY MOUNT Did you hear
the wonderful tribute paid to for

pion Joe Louis (Barrow) by NBC
mer baseballer, on the occasion of
Louis’ 50th birthday—May 13th? If
you didn’t you missed a treat.
We have never, NEVER, heard a
white man pay any nobler tribute
to a colored man, unless it wa<
during the announcing of a red
hot sports event as it was happen
ing.
Garadiola pictured Joe Louis as
being the ideal of all American
youths as he (Garadiola) was
growing up, and lauded Louis for
his clean sportmanShip. as he an
swered a letter viciously condemn
ing the boxing world.
It Is reported that the woman of
the family visited by President Lyn
don Baines Johnson and his daugh
ter Lynda Bird here last week,
told the President: "Don’t you mess
with my dogs.” Obviously, she re
ferred to LBJ's penchant for pull

the President, who gave each ar a
gentle tug.

tives” have dethroned on of the
most progressive mayors the city
has had in years, along with some
forward-looking councilmen, who
had started the city on a “Blue-
Print for Progress" which has been
hailed up and down the eastern
seaboard. This "Blue-Print" had
squashed the inclination on the
part of younger Negroes guided
by indulgent and trusting Negro
leaders—to continue mild picket
ing started last year after the fer
vent promise of relief In the way
of more employment and integra
tion of schools (22 entered) and
service at some of the establish
ments and a few clerical jobs.
It is hoped the new administra
tion of Mayor John Thomas Minges
will accelerate, rather than decele
rate this program. Negroes of the
community cannot be expected to
continue to lag behind the progress
of other communities in the matter
of civil rights.
This is especially notable when
we observe that towns of our child
hood in WNC (Brevard and Hen
dersonville) on the other end of
our US 64 hwy have peacefully
granted large-scale school inte
gration and the like. Brevard com
plied in 1962 and 63; Hendersonville
is accepting a large group of color
ed students this September.
Regrettably, our white neighbors
seem ‘not ready yet’ to grant full
suffrage rights in the form of hold
ing an elected office, such as city
councilman or others to colored
citizens, regardless of their qualifi
cations. This must come about—and
soon—if our community is to take
its place with up-state cities and
counties to lift the standard of all
Tarheelians. The East does not need
to lag behind because it has the
human and natural resources in the
potential of its colored .youths to
help lift us up.

by Catherine Richardson summariz
ed the activities of the senior class
for the past four years
"What is Success," the senior

voices of the senior class joined
'in melodious harmony to the words
of the class song written by Floya
Cotlen in the tune of the New
World Symphony,
Highlighting the program was a
’ very inspiring address by Mr Mc-
Millan. the principal, in which he
challenged the seniors, "to show
that education is truly a power for
good in our country" Using as a
subject, "Youth Will Build A Bet
ter World," he warned them that
they were going to have to meet
i great competition and overcome it,
before they can claim it. "The
world is yours, young Americans
| and through the sweat of your la
| hors, and the strength of your
dreams, you will make that lierit
age secure for yourselves and your
children."
