THE BIG PARADE
In larti week’s issue of the Carolina Times we published a
picture o^ the Hillside High School band as it appeared in the
Duke honecominir paraBe sereral weeks stgo. Although we
are proud of the fine spirit shown by those who have to do
with arranging the homecoming parade, by giving the Negro
high scho«l band an opportiinity to march in the parade—there
is another angle we wouM like to call the attention of our
readers to; what very likely is not known to many Durham citi-
»ens. This angle to a gl^t extent is quite a contrast to that
Burroundipgthe band which represented the white high school
in the Duke parade.

The 70 were to go two and two

self would later teach. Like the
apoatlea, they were to take noth-
tag wiOi them except what they
wore, no mon!y or extra cl*thea,
and they were to accept the hos
pitality of ^pse to whom they
preached. Into the houst they en
tered Jesue told them t^ «ay:
"Peace be to thia house." .
In the aame house they were to
remain, eating and drinking "such
things as are set before you.’’.
Tijey were also to heal the slek
in the home. In the towns where
they were not received cordially,
however, they were to shake the
dust of It from their feet “But
I say unto you, that it shall be
more tolerable In that day (Judg
ment day) for Sodom, than for

When the 70 returned to Jesus
they w'ere overjoyed, aaying that

band as rt did for the white, it refused to do so„ The Negro
students, r*determined to not be outdone, raised money in var-^

Fr^kly we are sorry that the students at the local white 
schooi were denied tb^ opportunity of raising money for their
own band. We are s^rfy that the members of the Board of j
Education of the city spools were so dumb, as usual-^that they
thought they were holding up th* great banner of “white su-[
premacy” by denying the Negro students at Hillside high school j
any aid in the purchase of instruments and uniforms for their
band. Likewise we are glad that the students at Hillside high'
aphool haid the guts and reaourcefulness to go to work and sup-
their own band.

Jesus answered him with a
counter questiwi: “What is wril>

And the lawyer answered:
“Thou Shalt love the Lord thy
God with an thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy
strength, and with all thy mind;
and thy neighbor as thyself."

much Lovea story
The last of the lOth chapter of
St. Luke, today’s lesson, tells an
other w’ell-known and much loved
story of our Lord’a life on earth.
He was a guest at the home of
two alsters, Mary and Marina-
intimate frlenda. Martha was evi
dently the type of wonjan who
worries about the urangement of
her home and what she uAist have
to eU, etc.. «lMn she ha* guests.
She planned to entertain this hon
ored guest laviahly. and was busy
with the work Of the household—
"cumbered about much serving.”
in the language of the BIW*.
Mary, on tha other ha^d. was
most interested In J'esua’ t»cb-
ing, and sat at His feet lAti^ihg
to His word. Martha came to
Jesus and said: "Lord. duX ’Thou
not care that my alster hau> left
me to serve alone? bid her there-
fofe that she help me."
But Jesua answered, "Martha,
Martha, thott art careful and
troubled about many thtags:
"But one ^ifiig is needful: and
Mary hath chosen that good part.
Which shall not be Uken away
from her.”
The 'things of the spirit—the
"^ord” is more important than
much material food and drink.
An elaborate banquet was not
what the Master needed, but that
p^e I^ulb ntfMi: Hia word
strength and' mind, and thy nelg^J-
bor aa thyself." That was the hn-
portant thing.

SdJfB MEtt are paid a dollar a
minute for their speeches besause

but there are . lots of others who
can’t make a cent a day that way,
because they spend their time
hollering for “free speech.”
It iias often been said that talk
A DAY OR 80 aftar the re
cent national election, we were
having our shoes shinad. The boy
who was doing the job, out of s
clear sky, shot this question at
os; ''Do you know tha one reason
why Mr. Willkie waa not elected.”
Our reply was: “The one rea
son!. It seems to us thene were
something over four million rea
sons. the extra votes that Mr.
BooBAvelt polled over Mr. Willkie.

“No, boss. You are wrong,”
the bootblack countered, “I can
tell you the one thing that licked
Mr. Willkie. Did you hear him say
over the radio that if he were
elected, he would put everybody
back to woric. Well, boss, that’s
what beat him. The American
people jiist don’t want to work
and that scared them.”
Quite a philosopher, this boot-
black. Quite ingeniotu in his rea
son, but we think he i^^~HTong—at
least we hope he is. Wb^oo not
believe the rank and file of the
American people do not aspire to
have steady jobs in private indus-i'
try rather than to be workii^ on
some government project or to be
on relief.
We know there are a few who
are content to sit back and let
good old Uncle Sam support them
with the money he takes eway
from his other nepheWs and nieces
but we have every confideifte in
the integrity, thrift and industry
p£ the average man and'woman.
These few who mess up the
picture are nothing new. Thev are
not a new species developed by
the depression. We had their
counter parts with us long before
things collapsed in 1929. There
always was the old individual
who was content to sit back and
let his wife or family or some
one else support him. We very
much fear thpre always will be.
