«^TfmnAT Arm to, tUi rmw CAWHJifA nmm rjum' Epps Challenges Bias In Address Before PTA Gmgress SALISBURY The South is economically un able to provide equal education tor both white and colored stu dents; therefore, all Americans should begin with the schools and woric lor complete integra tion in all phases of American life. So said Attorney Harold T. Epps, speaking before the 8th District PTA Congress School of Instruction held here Saturday at Monroe Street School. The young Winston-Salem lawyer asserted tlvat the first step toward complete integra tion is in education on all levels, from the elementary schools through the universities. Spealcing on the legal aspects of the theme; “Every Child an Equal Chance,” he pointed out that our greatest enemy in the fight against communism is our own institution of segregation. “If we are to win the cold war," he said, “we must work for the abolition of segre^ gation.” ' He added: “It is'the best and only- solution to this racial pro blem in America.” In working for integration we are doing a service to our coun try, he said. To accomidish the task (of integration) he urged colored people to vote and to help orga nizations like the NAACP and Americans for Democratic Ac tion, but he warned the race to be cautious and to analyze groups to which they contribute because “Communists sometime jump on the bandwagon.” Epps’ address came during the afternoon session of tlie Congress which convened Sat urday morning at 10 o’clock when Dean J. H. Satterwhite, president of the local PTA Council, led devotions. Among participants from the 12-county area meeting to in struct, inform and inspire pro per procedures in PTA work for benefit of youth were delegates from Rowan, Iredell, Catawba, Stanley and Anson counties. J. R. Henry, of Bessmer City, president of the 9th District PTA CongressT was a visitor. Words of welcome came from Prof. C. A- Carson, principal of the City School Board of Trus tees, and from City Superinten dent J. H. Knox. Mrs. E. Carter Smith, presi dent of the district, gave the purpose of the school and brought greetings from Mrs. H. H. Davis, state PTA president. Mrs. M. A. H^^day of Ash- ville and William Littlejohn of Statesville spoke on the roles of the community and church, respectively, in their responsi- bilitless to the total education of youth. The school was. divided Into lour sections: “Policies,” led by L. H. Hall ol Salisbury'and E. r. YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME /: BoM Thtmm At rmm U$rHotl itek* »•* Tort row luuBM la liy Toifc SitefTnTress.
