The Herald was sold out before
the ejhd of last Thursdays'Many
of the copies were bought out by
NAAJJP members. i~6 ah only
hope* that: the disclosures in the
colurin were as effective and in
teresting to them as it was to
mandl others,' Negro and white.
The Knterest shown has made
me accede to the many requests
to edntinue writing columns of
this £ype. Another reason for
continuing was a conversation I
had uwth a local NAACP leader.
This gentleman is quite sincere
in his beliefs, just as I am with
mine. However, in answer to
his question as to how many
more columns I am going to
write regarding the NAACP and
it£ activities, the answer is this:
as many as necessary to combat
the local goings-on, with the sit
ins, picketing, walk-throughs,
. harassments, all of which are
inspired by the NAACP. , The
local chapter, Qf course, has
brought in many, outsiders to
help stir up further dissensions.
They’ve also been giving out
some falsely-slanted handbills
and have been distributing a
so-called newspaper out of Dur
ham, the Carolina Times. The
lies, half-truths and distortions
presented in this journal are
reminiscent of the tabloid news
papers of the 1920'5. This news
paper’s motto is: “The Truth
■ Unbridled,” a motto which they
have not been following, so far
as the Edenton stories are con
cerned. The headlines and stor
ies have only one purpose: to
inflame the passions of the sus
ceptible youths who’ve been led
to believe that the NAACP is
the only answer to their prob
lems. As a matter of fact, the’
Way the.NAACP uses the young
sters is. I’erhihUcent of the old
Hitler Youth Organizations. All
qS 'the material they read,
- > sp>eches they hear, just as in
Hitler’s day, is designed to gar
ner distrust and, yes, hatred, of
those who {l4sa3r.ee. The NAACP
programs create animosity, and
serve to divide one race bgainst
the ether, a program the Com
munists have been using for
years and,, .of course,, the Com
munists rfrfQe iSisen, and’fai'tf us

Right now," a question. Last
year, in Washington, there was
an official report, proving sub
stantial Negro progress in Amer
ica toward full citizenship. This
report showed that Negroes have
been making great strides in the
south and without the interfer
ence of the NAACP. Why wasn’t
this report made public? Well, 1
it was suppressed by the Civil
Rights Commission. At who’s
suggestion? George M. John
son, a member of the commis
sion and a legal aide to the
NAACP. Why should he object?
Because this report emphasized
that the Negro’s progress was
made before the enactment of
■the civil 1 rights laws in 1857 and
in 1960. It seems that pu
blicity would defeat thip pur
poses of the Freedom Riders and
similar groups who eriMtftfying

to teil the world that they’re all
right, and. the majority at thus'
section of the country i» all
wrong. The logical conclusion, |
then, is that the NAACP, CORBj
and the like are interested in
sensational publicity,, in further
ing the divide and conquer pro
cess which has been so success
fully used, by the communists.
Don’t forget; If the reports, such
as the one that waa successfully!
repressed, were made into na- 1
tional news stories, the NAACP.
would probably have to go out'
of business. That, of course, I
would mean that progress could
continue slower, hut surer; and
more peaceably, with a greater j
Christian spirit than is now
shown in spite of using the
church as a front. However,
Edenton seems to be headquar t
ters for current NAACP activi
ties, with more of the same pop
ping up in Plymouth. Since 1
that is the case, we should do'
everything in our power to com-i
bat the activities of the local
NAACP, and to counteract the.
one-sided items that emanate
from local and national head
quarters. By the way, I don’t
question the sincerity of most
of the 'local mehibers. It’s just j
that they’re being used as tools
by an organization heavily in
filtrated with communist sympa
thizers. I feel sorry for most
of them and can only hope, f6r
the sake of our country, that
they will, someday, wake .up to
the truth. One more note: To
those very, very few who feel
the matter should be dropped,'
and we should bury our heads in j
the sand, ostrich-like, a check,
with the history books will show,
that such an isolationist attitude 1
has always been the downfall of
a nation or group. The opposi-j
tion is not going to let up, nor
should we. The opposition is go
ing to try to cow us, frighten
us, and sympathy is extended
to anyone who lets ’em get away
wi.h that. Let’s make our posi
tions known. Let’s act, intelli
gently and peacefully.
Closing Thought: No free gov-
or the- blessings of lib
erty can be preserved to any
people but by a firm adherence
to justice, moderation, temper
ance, frugality, andi virtue, and
by a frequent recurrence to fun
damental principles.

Question: What causes rheu
matic fever?
Answer: The exact cause of
rheumatic fever is still unknown,
When the disease strikes, it us
ually follows a nose or throat

i matic fever develops, it usually
follows the strep infection by
1 about two to four weeks.
Question: Is there any easy
way to lose weight?
Answer: There is a .way,
which, if not “easy”, is at least

reason but that you’re eating too
much. You are -eating more

Dear Jessica:
I have a friend of whom I
am very fond and of whom I
have only criticism. Whenever
we have a drink at the drug
store, somehow I always pay.
Whenever he drops in for a 'visit,
he stays arid thoroughly enjoys
my hospitality; However, when
I go to his house, it is neces
sary to prod him for refresh
ments. How can such a really
nice guy be such a moocher?
- —Perplexed.
Dear Perplexed:
I am sure this person is not
without redeeming virtues, con
sequently he is worth saving.
There exists on this earth a
breed of human beings which
delights in good-natured “horse
trading.” The competitive ele
ment colors, in his mind, per
haps, the fact that he is taking
advantage of you. By playing
up your own attitude of hospi
tality, .he may be led to see
the light.
—Jessica.

Dear J. C.
This is 9 weighty responsi

can carry it? Have you talked
it over with your parents? De
ceit is never a good thing and
I cannot conscientiously advise
you to continue making these

through a promotion of better
