It proves ^ once again the educational statesmanship of Bennett’s president, Dr. David D. Jones, and proves that only in our church schools are the president and faculty free to act ac cordingly to the dictates of their conscience. We salute President Jones tmd Bennett Col lege for seizing this opportunity to strike this crushing blow at those enemies within the United States who by their attitudes and deeds would destroy our way of life. It has been reported to this newspaper that in discussing the matter Dr. Jones stated that when heP;was confronted with the prob lem of admitting the young white girl to Bennet that he asked himself one question, “is it right or wrong?” Believing it not only right, but Christian and Democratic that all American citizens should have the right of choice he stated he did what he honestly be lieved was his duty, and admitted her. The Communists in our own country as well as in other lands have been alert and over zealous in publishing instances of racial bias in the United States—and that rightly so—we now challenge them in all fairness to give the same publicity to what is being done at Bennett to promote democracy in this disturbed world of ours. We dare them to do it. To those southerners who are tearing their hair and running up their blood pres-- sure, we would like to advise that the ad mission of a white student to a Negro col lege is distinctly nothing new in other southern states, if in North Carolina. White students have been admitted as exchange students at Hampton Institute in Virginia, Talladega. College in -Alabama—il, "you please—and Howard University in Washing ton, D. C., so long it isn’t even news any more. Frankly the CAKOLINA TIMES sees no difference in white students attending a Ne gro college and white teachers accepting jobs as instructors in Negro colleges, ex cept for the question of earning money, which we have found to be a vital factor in determining exactly the degree of prejudice our white folks will exercise. All over the South white men and women for years have not hesitated to earn an extra dollar teach ing in a Negro college, where in most in stances they exhibit iittlfe or no evidence of racial prejudice. The dollar is most always a powerful influence on our white folks prejudice. So'much so is this tnie that in many instances qualified Negro teachers, who are barred from teaching in white col leges because of prejudice, have often had to fight for jobs in colleges of their own races. '' Negro college presidents of our State school must look with secret envy on Dr. Jones’ courage and freedom of conscience. They in their heart of hearts know they would like to be able to take such steps, but tied down by the love of their fat salary checks they submit to enslavement that must at times be almost intolerable. God pity them! > So, once again both Bennett College and its dynamic president increase in stature. Once again they point the one and only way to peace and happiness in this war weary world, the way that accepts only the philo sophy so emphatically stated nearly 2,000 years ago by the Apostle Peter when he de clared that, “Of a truth I perceive that Grod is no respecter of person.” ‘And In South Afnca, They Call It ‘Apartheid” HE^ S0IN6 yiOGilUER: TO ATTACK \3S\) ^ MUST DESTROY HIM !l As it now stands the South, which did not generally support the party nominee in 1948, is in the Democratic saddle and has proceeded to wreck all chances for the elec tion of a Democratic President by fts an tagonistic attitude toward the candidacy of any liberal or supporter of civil rights. If General Eisenhower gives the slightest indication of having a liberal policy toward minorities you may see within the next few weeks a wholesale scampering of Catholics, Jews, Negroes and labor element to the Re publican bandwagon. Thus President Tru man’s decision not to run may in the end prove the South’s undoing politically rather than its power to rule. Spiritoal Insight ‘Sanctify ¥0111*8611” By REVEREND HAROLD ROLAND Pastor, Mount Gilead Baptilst Church A WELL DESERVED HONOR The recent selection of Dr. L. E. McCauley of Raleigh as the “Citizen of the Year” by Kabala S^ne Temple Is an honor well de served by the noted physician whose ser vice to his race, as a churchman, civic, busi ness and fraternal leader, as well as a doc tor, spans nearly a half century. In honor ing Dr. McCauley, Kabala Temple has hon ored itself. The example set by the Raleigh physician deserves careful scrutiny by the younger men of the profession, who are to a great extent so seclusive in their attitude that they could be easily classed as downright selfish. r One only needs to look around him in the direction of the church, civic, business and social life of the average community to dis cern that a majority of the yoimger Negro physicians make little or no contributions, financially or otherwise to the struggles of the race other than the practice of their pro fession. The record shows that Dr. McCauley has served his people in most every field of en deavor in which they are engaged. For a long number of years he has served Ireely Qn the boards of church, business, social and fraternal organizations. Not only has he giv en of his time, energy and advice, but he has put his money in them as well. The CAROLINA TIMES felicitates the Kabala Temple for its selection of Dr. Mc-j Cauley as the 1951 “Citizen of the Year.” It is our honest belief that there is no other physician o£ the State who is more deserving of the honor than this polished gentleman of the medical profession who has wrought so well in the«ity of Raleigh. “Saaetlfy yoaiaelves to morrow Ood will do won ders Among yoa . . .” Jadi S:S. In a great hour of opportunity God calls for sanctification y mong the people. This eul lor purification and ’ jla )|WBlnu: for a Gof-given task.tTytoe are times when God has grew jobs for individuals, races and na tions. Isreal’s great task was to be the moral and spiritual teachers of mankind. God’s holy purposes call lor a certain'^ood or spirit. To be sanctified is to be set ‘apart for a high and Holy pur pose. The life you have should lie dedicated to a high aint a Holy pcrpose. Sanctification is begun in regeneration. It .con- tinces through the blessed work of the Holy Spirit.in the heart. It breaks the power and de stroys the love of sin. The need of sanctification arises out ol Uw stark fact that there ia sin i£l^the world. It is the grace of God at work to make the vilest sinner acceptable in the si)^t of the. High and the Holy One. !fne root meaning ol the word ^nctification is Health or wholeness. Holiness then means being in line with the health-gi- ving forces and powers of God in Jfhe universe. Wholenees mepis’ not only health but a deep and abiding sense of peaco of mind and soul. This deep in ward sense of peace is the very foundation of moral, physical and emotional health. Yes, for everyday practicajj purposes, we all need to sancti fy ourselves. It pays to be sanc tified: In health and wholeness. Sanctification is nothing but - gftttln0 in httrittony -tii® will and purposes of God. We all need to cry out with Isaiah fillment of the Divine plans called for spiritual readiness: That readiness involved the spiritual discipline of sanctifi cation. This call comes anew to day to you: . “Sanctify yo^- selves for tomorrow God \^11 do wonders among you...” In this critical hour in world history God has a great task for America. Are we ready? W6 hre not quite ready for we need to sanctify ourselves in the light of our Christian and' democratic principles and ideals. Can we or shall we get ready to do the job' God has for us to do? The hour grows late! We must sanc tify ourselves ^ow that God may use us. God’s call comes to every that I may be fit for thy plan and purposes. ' Sanctification brings peace We all want peace. The un* worthy and sinful soul, there fore, cries out that it may know the blessed peace of God. The hext step of Isreal in the ful SMALL BUSINESS By C. WILSON './i RD -.P THE RULE OR RUIN POUCY OF SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS Viewing the sitution from where we now stand the announcement of President Tru man that he would not be a candidate for reelection in 1952 virtually hands the of fice of president to the Republican Party. 'The insistence of some southern demo crats that it is possible to elect a man of such ilk as Senator Richard B. Russell of Geor gia to the presidency of the United States will eventually prove to be the beginning of the end of the Democratic Party’s present reign in the White House whiiAi started back in 1932 when the late Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to the office. The end will not crane so much because of the South's power to dictate a,nominee of the Democratic Party but because Of its unwillingness or lack of power to dictate the naming of a successful one. Southerners ftel that unlete a candid date is an avowed anti-civil rights man that they cannot afford to lend their support to him. Such • man, however, cannot corral the full mpport of the various minorities of the party and is therefore bound lose in M deetlen agiOnst • atrong candidate like Itoaahoww. i President Tnmian’s announcement leaves the Democrats without a candidate that even comes near the stature of EUsenhower or even Taft of the Republican Paity. For even though southern Democrats appear to be absolutely blinded by the glitter of the southern sun in which Russell now stands no one el*e is. At the moment this leaves only Senatoir Estes Kefauver and Senator Robert Kerr as opponents against the for midable candidacy of General Eisenhower. The chance of Senator Russell ]^ng elected, even if he should by accident be nominated, is therefore too slipi to even 6e seriously considered. There is something more or less pathetic in this rule or ruin philosophy of the South apd that is its inability to understand that from a national standpoint the most of its biggest men are too small and that it is the Democratic Party that creates recognition for -the South instead of the South that creates recognition for the Democratic Par ty.

BY INCH OF CAKDLE BY ROSE BUTLER BROWNE Letter To The Editor It was my pleasure Wednes day, March 26, along with 35 others, to attend our State Club meeting in Raleigh at Memo rial aiiditorlum. So many worth while things were brought out that I felt I must share some of them with you. Our genersd theme for the year was “Keys To Better Family Living.” Highlights o£ the morning session were the President, Mrs. Irene Yeates’ address, in which she thanked us for the cooperation we had given her during her tw^years in office. She then told us we had grown to 22,060 members, representing 716 clubs. She spoke of the progress made In 4-H club work, gave points,on club, etiquett,, called lor better homes for therein are our fu ture citizens, reminded us to work, pray and play with oiu: children. ' Dr. Guy Johnson of Chapel Hill then came before us and spoke on “Women and their re- sponslbiUtles.” She urged- tis to (Pteasa turn to Paga Sevan) In at least two of our Durham schools we have a very healthy sign. The P. T. A. meetings liave been concerned with discussions of phases of child life which parents and teachers must think through together. For example, in one school, groups of Mrents sat down with the teacher of their children to talk about homework. The question "Why- parents and teachers revealed give homework?” was discussed. The answers given by both that both groups are motivated by ffnrmal dtoeipline. The i>arents seemed to feel that children should have home work-some homework, not too much-some homework was good tor them. The teachers seemed to feel that homework was necessary and good for children. The encouraging aspect of the discussion is not what actually came out in the form of de cisions and resolves, but what was revealed in the way of phi losophy. The education of a child must be a joint enterprise, which calls forth the best efforts of parents, teachers, and all of the friends and associates of a cliild. This kind of cooperative effort is most important during the school years. When we attempt to spell out Ithe special functions of each partner in this cooperative job, probably the school is concerned with providing the more de finitely organized experiences which educate a child. Certainly the effectiveness of what the school attempts is enhanced if the interest and concern of the home, _ church, and community are thrown behind the school. The parents in Durham are fortunate to have school admin- Istrators who are eager to estab lish a partnership with the home in the business of educating the children. I know this because ttiey try every trick in the bag .to make contact with us. They; send fancy notices for PTA meetings. They buy cookies and puAch to serve us. They arrange programs in which our child^n participate because they Itnow that we will come to see our children. When they get U3 there they hold the meeting and then give the children’s pra- gram, lest we leave before the purpose of the meeting is ful filled. It cannot tje that we are going to permit school people to show more interest in our cliidren than we ourselves show. Our discussions Indicate a be ginning of interest. .It may be that we are ready for deeper understanding. The U n it e d State Office of Education has a pamplilet written for parents called Know Your School. It can be secured from the Govern ment Printing Office in Wash ington, D. C. for fifteen cents.

BAYNARD WHITNEY lbR CALVIN NEWS SEBVICB) The Coming Storm The next 24 months will un doubtedly become the most significant in the history of mankind. National and inter national conditions during the past decade have moved steadily toward a vast an un precedented transition in the affairs of mankind. One of the most important clianges grad ually taUng place indicates tliat the day of victory for the common man is hastening on. Members of the darker races, constituting the majority of the earth^ 'population, are stirring themselves and throwing off the yolMs of ex ploitation and wliite supre macy. It is evident too, that the mistakes and corruptions of the leading nations, including our own Ameriica, are catch ing up with them,' revealing fatal weaknesses in doctrines and structures. The stark evjls of materialism have reached ttwir zenith, and the pendu lum is about to swing back to more stable values. There is a clarion call for universal reformation!’ Before reform can come about, the older order of things must spend itself. And since it will not voluntarily permit constructive change, it shall suffer the reaction of its fallacies and pass away, in the crucible of domestic turmoil — and perhaps in a World War Our next presidential elec tion promises to> be much more than another individual talcing office. It shall be the acid test of whether a nation which has had leadersliip thrust upon it by world con ditions, has the moral coiuage to make that leadersliip hon est and sincere, instead of hyprocritical anfl left-handed. The Negro, our Nation’s most potent and vocal mi nority stands faced with tlie prospect of being without a champion of civil rights in the White House. Since General Eisenhower became a Repub lican candidate foe office, and has shown unprecedented popularity in several state primary elections, it seems very probable that the Re publican convention will ' make him their candidate. And it is also just as probable that the average voter will stampede for him In the No vember election, blinded by the glamour of Us personality and oblivious to the larger issues of the political cam paign. It if already indicated that Ike will NOT press for civil rights, especially with a Congress already hostile to passing any such legislation, with the growing strength of the Dixiecrats who are al ready allied with the Repub-^ lican, civil rights would be a dead duck. , Harold Stassen is for civil rights, but his chances for getting the nomination seem' slim. Even if Truman runs and wins, he would undoubtedly fail again to get civil rights legislation passed by a hos tile congress, no matter how anxious he would be to ‘‘bol ster the moral position of the United States in the eyes of the world”. At this writing all other Democratic candi dates have fought shy of the civil rights issue, so anxious are they to get Dixiecrat sup port. On the horizon of Peace, eco nomics and common justice,, there appears to be coming'ai Big Blow. Only thru unity and superhuman efforts will enable us to ride out the Storm “South Africa’s highest court has declared unconstitutional onfe of the most important wWte supremacy laws of the' National government of Prime Minister Daniel F. Malan!” The decision slaps down Malan in tr}ting to take away the vote from a million mul- 'latoes in Cape Province, and confronts Malan’s "regime with the gravest crisis of its four-year existence.” • We fervently hope the orisis will force Malan to (esign. Press dispatches said, '“Non whites, Negroes, Asiatics and mulattoes united for the first time in their political strug gle” and “plan to defy the government’s race laws in. a national passive redistance movement starting April 6.” If the cruelty of Malan’s 'laws has caused these people to unite, then some good tia* surely come out of evilt Here in America evil forces are “arming to beat the Negro back in his legitimate aspira tions to ftiU-fiedged citizen ship in a coimtry the Negro has defended in times of war and help to malce great in times of peace.” Perhaps this situation will in the near future bring about a REAL AND FIOHTINa UN ITY AMONG NBGROES wimg IN AIORICAI
