Phonic “Misspelling” Called Phony
No right thinking person would ever think
of retarding progress in any field of endeavor,
particularly in education. The subject of our
attention is the use of a new alphabet, called
**Nue Alfabet” (Sunday Magazine, Nov. 23.
1964), whereby children are taught to read
words gpelled “phonetically” (and in a sense
Incorrectly for the words as spelled in our
school readers)
We have no quarrel against the phonetic al
phabet. when used with discretion and for cer
tain purposes. The IPA (International Pho
netic Alphabet) has a significant place in teach
in correcting of certain speech sound errors,
in a speech correction articulation case blank,
in corercting of certain speech sound errors.
Inasmuch as our spelling system is non-pho
netic, to introduce the phonetic spelling method
may lead to more confusion in reading.
It seems to us that what we need is some
effective way to teach children to spell cor
rectly our non-phonetic words, as well as read
them correctly in oral form. Teachers of form
er years somehow got this task of spelling and
reading done. At least we think the children

4 KKK Members-What Gall They Have
The most flagrant example of nerve, or gall,
(impudence), as we say. was demonstrated by
four men dressed as Ku Klux Klansinen who
attended integrated Thanksgiving services of
Wilson’s First Baptist Church Most disgusting
was their behavior when they stalked out of
the building, because a Negro minister rose to
read from the Holy Bible.
Evidently the whole thing was well-planned,
because three of the men took seats near the
front of the sanctuary while the fourth man
seated himself at the erar. When Rev. U. S.
Johnson. Negro pastor of the St John AME
Zion Church, began reading the Scripture, the
four men dressed as Klansmcn left the church
and joined a small group of robed men on the
street adjacent to the church
Were these four Klansmen. or were they im
posters dressed in “the white robes"? They
seemed bold enough to insure their identity,
for they were unmasked as is not the usual
custom.
Save The Republican Party - How?
The devastating defeat of the OOP in the
last November election has given rise to form
ulae for salvaging the remains of the shattered
political vessel which apparently is sinking
slopdy from a “time-worn conservative" leak.
In one sense it appears that the leak is not
small, for the landslide Democratic victory
seems to indicate thnt the vessel might have
ruptured its bottom on a rock in the trickery
shoals.
In addition to the lonß list of possible sobi
tions to get the vessel repaired and ready to
move ahead, we wish to add ours. Perhaps as
the numerous newspaper solutions suggest:
How can struggling Republican leaders get the
party back on the track?
The Republican Party as we see it. can nev
er regain the respect or confidence of the ma
jority of voters by creating a new image for it
self. It needs a new attitude. Getting back be
hind Abraham Lincoln is only a partial solu
tion. The GOP needs to rethink its economic
attitudes, and this is difficult since the Repub
licans for many years have represented a weal
thy minority who have held the theory thnt
the protection of the rich can best be accom
plished by keeping the prosperity of the poor
within bounds. And this attitude is entirely
out of place in modem economics.
The road to a better life for everyone is not
trying to grab “the biggest part of the pie ”
but in making the pie bigger The only way to
accomplish this is through high wages, full em
ployment, and volume sales
The Republican Party has acquired the rep
utation of being a party opposed to all social
and economic progress, and. therefore, it is
rapidly becoming a dwindling minority. The
Juvenile Foolishness Must Stop
Many of our youth havr a “vow of irre

and behavior must be terminated at once

spelled much better than they do now.
Then the emphasis in teaching reading swung
to the "sight-reading method,” whereby chil
dren were taught to recognize an entire word,
but not its component parts. The educators of
the “sight” method have been termed deluded
One newspaper copy reader said that his major
task was correcting the abysmally pathetic
misspelling of the unfortunate writers.
Educators are wondering why Johnny can't
read? Well, we wonder, why he can’t spell.
Somehow, we don’t wonder about this when
the child is deliberately taught to read mis
spelled words by use of the “Nue Alfabet.”
Children must be taught to spell our language
as it is actually written.
Just as educators have been carried away
by the “sight” method, they will praise the
"Nue Alfabet” procedure which we contend
can only serve to confuse a young child learn
ing to read one way and trying to spell another.
Well, we may be waiting for another genera
tion of poor spellers to grow up. but let’s be
realistic enough not to call it ‘ phonetic,” but
rather phony.

As members of the Wilson area community,
were they not ashamed to let their hate for
integration expose them to their neighbors as
being members of a vicious organization whose
unsavory history makes all of us bow our heads
in shame. Proper church decorum, according
to the best American social tradition, does not
sanction people hanging around a church on
the outside while worship services are in prog
ress. Surely hanging around on the outside as
these robed men did. was not in good religious
and social taste.
In spite of the appearance of the robed men,
the Christians of Wilson, under the sponsor
ship of the Ministers Association, deserve com
mendation for their efforts to put Christianity
into practice with the first racially integrated
service at a white church in the city that in
cluded Negroes on the program.
Jesus Christ would say to the men in robes.
"My Father will forgive you and love you, for
ye know not what you do!"
plain truth is that if the GOP wants to be a
winning majority party, it must be willing to
get on the left of the Democrats.
Next, the Republicans must somehow change
the public's impression that they are the “pref
erence party" of such states like Alabama. Mis
sissippi, and South Carolina. With the state of
Mississippi behind the GOP Party is somewhat
like "an albatross around its neck” as was so
forcefully depicted in “in the Rime of the
Ancient Mariner." In short, the racial attitude
of the majority of the Republican Party must
change: however, if the racial attitude is sound,
the public does not think so.
The Alabama and Mississippi attitude about
the old southern customs with regard to Ne
groes gives to the public the impression that
Republicans condone the die-hard segregation
ists The GOP. in order to be a winning party,
must get this "drawback" out of the way.
Finally, the Republicans must never let it
self "be fooled" into endorsing Ooldwater to
campaign for the Presidency a second time. If
it does, we will surely have a one-party system
of government.
While the situation of the GOP is critical,
one of its leaders. Alf Landon. wants them to
stop their breast beating. “Shucks." he said
“why take away their last small pleasure? They
can't beat anything else." Mr. Landon is a
serious man who has the welfare of the GOP
at heart but we admire him for his wonderful
sense of humor even in the face of political
disaster.
The Republicans must undertake a radical
reorganization of their Party, or the country
will wind up with a one-party system, and you
know which party!

CONCLUSIONS
Mere numbers wlhln them -
selves can often be misleading.
And. such misleading* often
cause disappointing results.
For example, we Negro Bap
tist of North Carolina boast of
350.000 Baptists. Thus, we con
clude that if each Baptist would
pay just one dollar for this or
that cause, we would have $35C.-
000. We do not take under con
sideration that many of the 350.-
000 Baptist of which we boast
are young people not old enough
to work and many of the others
are still going to school. Neither
of the foregoing has any in

We say that there are about
1,700 Negro Baptist churches in
North Carolina. Thus, we con
clude that if each church would
give a certain amount for this
or that cause, we would have a
certain amount of money, many
of us do not seem to know or
care, that many of that 1,700 are
churches in name only. A large
number of them do not have a
dozen members between the
ages of 21 and 05—the normal

this writer's serious and con
sidered opinion that the Negro
Baptist of North Carolina could
reduce, and should reduce, their
churches by at least one-third
the present number. Many of
our small rural and village
churches should be combined.

ALTAR CALL
BY EMOBY G. DAVIS, D.D. (For Negro Preoa International)
TO CLOSE THE GAP
Between the need* of the victim* of "*<"■»i*• -
uun auu wic Civu Right* Law on the Nation s sta
tute books there remains the task of closing the
gap. This task is much like the phophecy of Jere
miah, who quoted God’s will and desire to “put
my law In their Inward parts, and write it In their
hearts."
The process essential to closing this gap. Iron
ically, was stated In the press In the month of
October by a white theologian and a Negro civic
worker, who live miles apart, and perhaps have
never met; yet, when I superimposed the words of
one upon the other the white hot flame of real
ity fired me to share this theological Incidence
with my readers.
“The source of our identity,” said the Rev. Dr.
Reuel Howe, “Is personal relations with others.”
This theologian Is director of the Institute for
Advanced Pastoral Studies at Bloomfield Hills,
Michigan. He went on to tell the Chicago Pastors’
Retreat, as quoted In the newspaper, "It seems to
be God's will that we should live in a structure of
persons In relationship with Himself and with one
another, and that out of this kind of relation ws
should be bom as persons having individual 1-
dentlty. This relationship Is one of love, of mut
ual responsibility for one another."
Following this profound statement. Dr. Howe
pointed directly to the "gap” In human relations
when he said, "whereas the experience of love
contributes to a sense of Identity, frustration of
love produces fear, then hate, then guilt, then
defensive and then distortion and loss of
identity.”
In the October Issue of Reader’s Digest, an ar
ticle on “How Los Angeles Eases Racial Tensions”
John Buggs, director of the Los Angeles County
Commission on Human relations. “Most Ameri
cans." he says, “will listen to the other fellow s
story. Once you understand another man. you
usually don't fear him. If you're not afraid of
him, you don't hate him. And If you don't hate
him, you're willing to work out some kind of
compromise with him.” The rest of the article
tells how effectively this Negro leader’s approach
has worked “as a key to racial understanding.”
Here then Is the analysis that needs wider dis
semination In both the white and Negro com
munity.

COMPENSATIONS OF SORROW
TO THE EDITOR:
I am grateful to the editor of NEWS AND
VIEWS for his reference to my great sorrow tn
the mental collapse of my life, after a brilliant
career with me of 45 years. I wish to offer a re
markable example of affliction with equally re
markable compensation.
It is the story of “Jackie”, imbesile girl in a
good family in Washington. N. C. I came to know
her nearly 20 years ago, while acting as interim
pastor at Ptrst Baptist Church, while the pastor
was in a summer course In Union Seminary, New
York. The father was then a young lawyer I
pumped out of him In his law office the follow
ing reluctant story. Jackie had two admirable
sisters then holding good business positions. an<*
almost certainly Jackie would have been normal
and equally fine but for the tragic slip of the doc
tor's knife when Jackie was born. But the slip re
sulted in severing a nerve or some ligament In the
back of the neck, dooming her to be a helpleas Im
becile for life. Her suffering was so acute tha
mother said. “For weeks I didn't take off my
clothes, all my time was spent at her side.” I aaw
her repeatedly In her room, a tiny, frail ch'ld
with a sweet face, a touching smile, able to *)tak
only several faltering words.
After consulting numerous specialists, the
dreadful verdict at last: “No doctor In the world
can help her!"
Pour years ago. her mother wrote me. ' Ibis is
Jackie's 31st birthday.” I wrote her story for the
Chicago WAR CRY (Salvation Army) under the
title Jackies 31st Birthday”. It was Indeed a
remarkable story, what she was and the power
she wielded by her patient, sweet Uft.
First, on her father then a promising your*
lawyer I tried to keep up with her for yean.
Grateful for the merest I showed in Jackie, the
mother wrote me once tn a year or so. After a year
where all men are supposed to
be subjected to the call ot high
public service. ..
Mr Hoover, sufering in offic
ial silence toe long his true in-
and large, the white man has no love for the Ne-
"* v -' *" "
Rights Law and in many sectors he has even les"
now. This abeenee<BMqye—thts»f?Ustration of tne
God-willed uprpose for as Dr. Howe
says, created fear, then hate, then guilt, defen
siveness and distrotion. Obvious Is the white
man’s fear when a Negro moves into, or attempt
to move into “his” neighborhood, or work on “his 1
Job, or go to “his” school. He bristles; vocalizing
and activating the dormant dislike and hate he
has harbored all his life. Then he seeks to dt>nd
his “rights” not as a human, but as a white man,
resulting in distorted human relations—violence
riots and what have you.
This same process also takes place In the mind
and feeling of this Negro toward the white man
We fear him, distrust him, turning this tvling
into hate, defensiveness and we too, then suffer
the distortion, and rather than lose our ideality
in the human family, we go to such extremltie
as men and boys with long-hatred processes—vul
gar speaking, wig-bedecked girls and women, at
tracting attention by extroversion.
We, the Negro, don’t love the white man, and
the white man doesn’t love us and we both know
It. Had he loved us there would never have bee.i
a need for a Civil Rights law. This attitude hat
separated us and reduced our Identity and thciis
to something far less than that of the “children
of God.”
Now put these two men’s Philosophic together
When each of us—the Negro and the white—ex
perience LOVE within, we will “listen to the othm
fellow’s story.” With fear will.go hate. With hate
will go guilt, defensiveness, distortion. and we
will each achieve and know our Intended Identity,
the only real Identity available for humans In tnis
world—Sons erf God!
The churches seem to have enough people in
them to be that essential nucleus to begin this
process, both ways, from Negro to white and from
white to Negro. The church has had the message
of LOVE for centuries, but what has she done
with it?
When the white believer in God and the Negro
believer In Ood kneel at the ALTAR OF LOVE,
though separated at first, staying there until th y
can get up together, arm In arm, then and only
then will we close the gap that separates Gou s
family humanity.

happy pastor of a good church.”
I saw a great story and went to see hkn in his
parsonage. I said to him, “Tell me whi t Jackie
has done to wou and for you: I venture Bie guess
that she has done more for you than to you!'
Earnestly he said. “You are right. It wa i largely
her sweet, patient goodness that turned tie from
the practice of law to the gospel ministry. And
many in my congregation tell me ‘Jackie is a
great power in our lives. Often the angry feelinr
the impatient word Is checked, by thoiight o.
Jackie in the parsonage: She's so patent and
sweet. I ought to be too.' ”
And he told a story: A man drove miles on«
night to see him. He was excited and blurted out
“I read of your sermon, and thought Id like >
talk to you before I do it <he had a hard in vn

he said.

Tha preacher said. “Be calm a minute Let n.

years with Jackie, tears ran down the cheeks of
the other man. and he sobbed out. "After a i I
believe I wont kill myself: ITi live and be a may*,
