Pumping Life Info Dying t Cities Through School* The future of American Socie ty is Wtoctricably tied to the sur vival and well-being of its cen tral cities. Yet relatively little has been* done tp check the I growing decay and blight ol ] metropolitan areas. Folks con tinue their flight to the suburbs as soon as they’re able. To Professor C. G. Sargent of Harvard University’s graduate school of education, this is a matter of growing concern. The- 'noted educator observes that most urban renewal ’ pro grams for rebuilding business centers and "fixing up” residen tial" neighborhoods have been relatively ineffective in anchor ing people to the city. City dwellers still gaze wistfully at the rifew schools and spacious surroundings of suburbs. Urban renewal developments too fiseguently overlook the hu man dimension, Professor Sar gent believes. He says we ap parently , need some dramatic physical change with which the people can identify and which to them spells a concern on the I part of the city for their well being. The public school is pre eminently such a symbol. Development of .neighborhood use of school facilities molds ties and -loyalties to a neighbor hood which have been non-exist ent or died, Dr. Sargent adds. In short, if an attachment of love can be developed for “good i old, Central Junior High,” a! neighborhood’s urge for suburbia ■ may b 4 quenched. Rut’Central Junior High can’t' remain the Victorian artifact of yesteryear It has to be a top facility that upgrades the entire neighborhood, something that j patrons look up to and take pride in. It can and should serve as a community center. Therefore, architects should re late school planning to any ur ban renewal development. Dr. Sargent strongly contends. Last year the New Haven, Conn., School board asked the Harvard educator to apply his ideas to this New England city and recommend what could be doftd fhfbugh schools to stimu late vitality and esprit de corps throughout the city. To answer, Dr. Sargent made the first study which systemati cally ties together school plan ning and urban renewal on a city-wide basis. Completed last spring, the study proposed a complete re organization of the school sys tem and a building program costing $13,000,000. It features a complete grade! reorganization on an unusual Taylor Theatre F.nr.xrox. x. r Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The New Haven Board of Ed cation adopted Dr. Sargent’s .’ull report and immediately vot-, 3d money to implement its rec ommendations. And now proud Boston, evi dently liking Dr. Sargent’s ideas, has retained Professor Sargent to make a corresponding study for its metropolitan area also. Although North Carolina is fortunate in not having extreme depressed areas in its cities and towns, the fact remains that a similar exodus to suburbia, but on a smaller scale, is taking place across the state. Robert Randall of the Appa lachian State Teachers College education department, like Dr. Sargent, recommends that Tar Heel urban renewal planners sharpen their attention to the school as a focal point in their blue printing. Randall, a former Lumberton and Charlotte school admini strator. participated in Harvard University’s administrative ca reer program and has observed first hand the value of school construction within urban re newal programs. Frankly Speaking] By FRANK ROBERTS First of all, congratulations to our very good friend, Mike Ma lone, who recently received his first appointment. He’ll be pas tor of a large Episcopal Church in Ahoskie. At this point, Mike: “God Be With You”. Speaking i of young Edentonians to be I proud of, our congratulations to all of the high school seniors who recently received their awards, in various categories. I was particularly interested in outstanding achievement in mu sic. That award went to Roger Lamb, to no one’s surprise. Rog- j er, who was born in Edenton, | is one of this area’s outstanding i young people. Briefly: He has ] an older brother; his father is an aircraft mechanic in Eliza beth City. Roger, himself, is go ing into music as a career, hop- 1 ing to become a choir dir J tor.

IBy the way, - Roger is also pi ' anist for the senior Sunday School class at the Edenton Bap tist Church, and plays organ, during services at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. So far the Methodists haven’t gotten to; him. In addition to his musical interests, he has also been a member of the National Honor Society, and for several of his high school years, has . consist ently maintained a 00 or above average. Also, in school, he’s president of the Bass Clef Club, j Roger is, of course, only one of many teenagers of which our area can be justly proud. A North Carolinian making news these days is that rare bird: a politician who prefers to stay out of the limeligh . However, he has no cho’?e, with the Billie Sol Estes case making headlines these days. He is Democrat L. H. Fountain, who has been com mended by members of both parties, for his fair-mindedness. One associate describes Fountain as: “a cleancut Christian gentle-1 man.” Connection with the Es tes case—Fountain is head of an j obscure house subcommittee on I intergovernmental oper-1 ations, which has jurisdiction! over government surplus grain storage and cotton allotments. Incidentally, Fountain only once has been opposed* in his election bids, since 1952. Even that time he received 96% of the vote. Fountain, from Tarboro, credits religion with a major role in his! life. He says he hasn’t missed a j Sunday Bible Class since he was ] a small boy in a town called i Leggett. He became a Presby- j terian, since he was born across the street from a Presbyterian 1 Church. He’s now an elder and i trustee of the National Presby terian Church in Washington.

They pride them selves on their ability to com ! prehend what they thought was | true nature of, God. Regarding l knowledge as superior to faith, 'which the ordinary run of Chris i tians might possess, they as sumed that such knowledge was 'the possession of only a privil ieged few. This doctrine John attacked with sound logic. He did rot ,denv that knowledge of God is desirable, but he declar- ed that the way to know God is to partake of his nature, which is love, and to exhibit Christian love toward all men. The test of one’s knowledge of God; then, is his..active, out going love for his fellow men. Anyone Who lays claims to lov ing God, the while despising or downgrading other people, is no true lover of God. His is the empty vessel of lip-service to his faith. Another test of unity with God is our attitude toward Jesus Christ. If we freely con- ( fess him as our personal Savior ! from sin, God lives in us, and | we in him. Confessing Christ 1 not only in words but also by doing the things he urges us to i do is the one and only way to ! gain knowledge of God and to ' live in union with him. Then, 1 and only then, can we truly j know God. This lesson also teaches that TO THE CITIZENS OF CHOWAN COUNTY I would like to take this means of say ing: THANK YOU to the citizens of Cho wan County for the tremendous support given me in election to the office of Clerk of the Superior Court in the Democratic Primary on Saturday, May 26, 1962.

On the contrary, such la person “may have confidence jfor the day of judgment . . . ” i Having this confidence should be the aim of every Christian, not only for the sake of peace of mind, but also for the larger purpose of Christian steward ship. A person cannot be a good steward of God’s gifts if he pves in fear of the judg ment. . Freed by perfect love from this fear, he can exercise his stewardship to the honor and glory of God.
