THE CAROLINA TIMES WSE 2^—'THE TRUTH UNBRIDLiD* SAT., SEPT. 17, I960 HE MUST BE REMOVED BY Dniffi's Tmsfees Wifhoyf A Us t9 Stami Oir i UP oT Dr. A. C. Miindy-Castle, f !«t!

Mundy- tiisltc R^ntly visited Duke University, the i-^ich.H hristian educational institution which admits every other race,- kindred, tribe or str.-.ta-of the Inunan faniify except Neg’t'oes. \Vliile tlTCre he visited Duke’s Medical Center and delivered a {fuest lecture under the aus- j*ict'S ot Ijie j)^ychialry department. Artordins: t». Dr. Mundy-Castle cultural r»'her tlian racial factors are resi>onsiblc for p'l ir perfonnanee of i)riinitive African Ne- llis study of 100 nienihers of a group »i Munie 5,0(X) whites, who have lived in Africa virtually isolated from civilization for 300 years, re.sulted in about the sanu- findings a's that of the primitive Xejjroes. Except for the brriiii rhythm (electrical activity of the brain) which was foiuid to be abnormal in half of the white subjects studied, there was practi cally no difference between the t'Vo rac^s. • The st'atemerit of Dr. Mundy-Castle will l>roliahIy be disti^rWhg, if not .shocking, to cer tain members of Duke’s Trustee Board who continue to stand out against admitting Ne groes to this very rich, Christian educational institution. Ttie only sound aiid sane reason for continuing to bat' Negroes from Duke Uni versity is thaf they are racially different from white people. Now that this-white scien tist from one of the most segregating places on earth comes forth and declares that the cultural background aAd not the race is re- s])onsible • for the poor show' of both these whites and Negroes alike, the Duke Trustee Board is now without a leg to stand on, ex cept that of prejudice. Well on next Sunday morning Duke’s church bell will ring anl its students will gather for worship difring which time the choir will sing'and the minister will preach about Jesus, the same Jesus who declared nearly 2,000 years ago that, “Inasmnch as ye did it not tq one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” More Negro Repression Needed In tendering his resignation as principal of the high school which bears his name, the Kev. G. C. Hawley has probably made the greatest c£)ntribut>ion to its growth a»d de velopment since he took over the helm near ly 25 years ago. To have continued as head of the school in spite of the fact that he had the backing of the Granville County Board of Education and many Negro and \^hite citi zens of Creedmoor and vicinity w'ould only have increased the sevewty of a situation that was g^rowing worse day by day. As well qualified as iiev. Hawley is iti experience and scholarship it appears that he had lost the respect and admiration of a large segment of his Negro constituency,' which, after all is said and done, are those for whom he had been employed as principal. Who or what side was right in the G. C. Hawley High, School affair will probably nev- - cr be known. No doubt Rev. Hawley feels he was right, and his supporters of both races • must feel they were right. While on the Qtfier hand, the opposing factions will doubt less contend that they are right. If the truth could be actuallj' known, it might be discover ed tha,t at the bottom of tke entire affair is the outmoded cuafom of not giving Negroes representation on policy-making boards that involve matteijs that are important as the proper education of their children. While-we might have listenefl -wttb-fapt-- attention to what the Negro supjjorters of the P.rincipal had to say in his behalf, we would pay little or no jUtention to what the white peo ple had to wh(^ rushed to his side so quickly. As sincere and honost as their in- . tent^ and purpose might have been, it is stupid to suggest that it is possible for any one of them to live on the other side of the track and know' the feelings of Negroes or what is going on in the Negro 'community. We arje of the opinion that had the white people of Creedmoor and vicinity kept their noses out of the affair, it might have been settled more amicably to the satisfactiori of all concerned'. In the very nature'of the case, Negroes very quickly becblnie suspicious of one of their own when too many white peo ple rise up and call him blessed. The quickest way for a Negro leader to gain the confidence and respect of his own is for white people to damn him. Such nationally known leaders as Roy Wilkins, Thui’good Marshall and Mar- titl Luther King are shining examples 6f the type that have the confidence of the Negro masses. At the bottom of the trouble which arose at the Hawley High School is also the lack of Negro representation on the Granvill'e County Board of Education. In this late day and time it is foolish for white people to con tinue the outmoded policy of trying to think and act for Negroes on policy-making boards that iiivolve matters as important as the edu cation of their children. Even ,one forthright Negro on the Granville County Board of. Edu cation might have long ago prevented the groundswell that has been going on at Haw ley High School for the. past ten years or more by truthfully interpreting' the hopes, aims and aspiratjons o£ Negroes. ^"’Unless the white citizens 'Granville Cotm-r ty and other counties and citres of this and other states of the South begin a program of crej^ng more lines, of communication between those of the white and Negro,community by giving Negroes Teprfesentation on policy-mak ing bodies, we predict that niore unrest amonfe Negro schools ind elsewhere is certain to follow. Opposition to flie Mustim Movement • The Carolina Times ha-s previously ex pressed its avowed opposition to the Muslim movement now attempting to get established in several cities of North Carolina and else where in the South as well as northern cities. We are just as opposed to any movement that advocates black or Negro supremacy as ’ we are to one that advocates white svipre- macy. Any faith, creed or .movement that has such a low conception of God as to belicvs that He would create one race better than Jhe'othcr is actually too stupid to be bothered with. Because we know.^how’ever, that there are always some peo]>le' foolish enough even to join a one-way march to Hell, we are sounding this warning to Negroes to not be led off in the wrong direction by some crack- jx)t who claims to have a quick, ready-made solution to the race problem, Let no one lie deceived by this so-called Muhammad’s demands for no drinking, smok- PublMlMd every Saturday at mirluuD, N.

Frankly we would rather lal^e our chances with a drunk believer in_ Christ in a dance hall with a cigar in hjs mouth than to cast o^r lot with a leader or group of. people who .advo cates the supremacy of one fate of people over another. If the driyik Christian ever sobers up his conscience is certain to remind him that God is no respecter of person white or black. A' person who is intoxicated ‘with race hatred'' a-S taught by Elijah Muhammad n.-v .iije.ver sober up long eno.ugh to' realize that I.c can’t Build' a sure foundation on such. As Litter a-nrf hard as the road has been, Negroes hav'c steadily moved forward iti this country under the Christia:n banner. Out of it has come such drganizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Congress of Racial Equality, the Southern Conference Educational Fund, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Urban LeagtJe and other movements that have advecated the Christian vvdy of life. To aban don Kiat way now is to go from the known to the tmknown. We take otlr stand against all apostles of hate, be they Muhammad’s followers or Chris tian. We think the advice of Kelly Alexander, president of'the North Carolina chapter .of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is sane and -sound. In com menting on the Muhammad cult khd its teach ings, Alexander had the following to say: “We can’t gain much if we are*, taken* iir by any id«dk>gy that- sep«r«te«; divider people and pratdtklf facial Technical Help For Africa, II SPIRITUAL INSIGHT God's S««eiei9B hm "Tha God who mado tha world— baing Lord of haavan and earth."- Acts 17:24. Let us ever remember the sov- efeign power of the God of cre ation. We in our pride ire at times tempted to forget the sov ereign power of God Almighty, the Creator of all things. Thus, we are tempted to fear and cow er before men. God, the Creator, is the Ul timate source of power. What little power men and nations may posses..^ just a temporary grant ftom k sovereign omnipotent God who has created all things. What ever we may have is just a tem porary trusteeship from God. Whatever we may have is grant ed to US' for just a little while. For soon, we lost our grip in death and it passes on to an other. Then let us worship and -Ctdorc God the Sov6r6ifln ptfWOT of creation—God Who is ruler of heaven' and earth. All so-called human power is, the bigbest derived frbm God Almighty.

A Summer Vacation fo It^memili’ f hus, the PsaldUsti. i Qian it What summer vacation does one remember most? For some it might be the trip to the mountain, to the seashore o> to the national park. Still others will remember the vaca tion they, spent in study or tBe redecorating they did on their . house. In the lives of all of us thel'e' will probably be Mie .‘vacatiori that stands out ^r all the fest-,-the vacation to re- membei*. For the 1,000 youths who con stitute the Youth Council of the NAACP the summer vacation of 1960 will probably be the smp- mer tp remember. Through afr tion initiated by them they Wen able to break down racial bar riers that had defied the best ef forts of their elders and secured non-discriminatory access to plac es that had formerly baired per-. 'sons of their race. On July Wth, Kansas Cltians first read news aeconnts of an effort by memberr of the council te be served in local restaurants an# attend- local theaters. The “sit-!«s'’ had eome to Kansas City. Tired of the legal iim^ssa in wlAch the anti-se^egatloii eify ordinance had- become ensitaored, these youths, had resoMed^ to a teohniqw utillMd sueeessfuHy elsewhere.
