Dr. Best s Program To Alleviate Illegitimacy And
Pehnquency GetJ Send-off With Speech By Proctor
GREENVILLE. _ Th« . . ' ■
GREBINVILLE, — The recently
organized North Carolina Joint
Council on Health and Citizen
ship, in its inaugural program Sun
day. October 9, at the Charies M.
Eppes high school, presented a3
guests speaker Dr. Samuel De-
Witt Proctor, the new president
of Agricultural and Technical Col
lege, Greensboro.
The NCJCHC is the brainchild
of Dr. Andrew A. Best, an A. and
T. College alumnus, who has made
Pitt County his field of medical
practice for about ten year. >
During that p*riod th* batch*-
lor physician has bocome con
cerned about the high rate of
illegitimacy. Illiteracy and
poverty, particularly, as It ap
plies to colored p*ople in this
and surrounding countie*. H*
I* determined to do Mmething
about It.
As a result. Dr. Best started
some four years ago to giving
health and morals lectures in'the
schools 'of the'ounty with the co
operation of the principals, su
perintendents, teachers and health
department officials. A noticcable
decline has been noted in the off
springs of unwed mothers and
health condiiions have improved.
So impr*ss*d hav* local
county and city officials bocome
with th* results of Dr. Best's
program until t^e study has
bofn made a requlrmont for
graduation in high school* and
some 18 countie* have adopted
the program, it I* roportod.
Dr. Proctor spoke on “Leader
ship In A Time Of Change”, and
pictured many people who are
stubborn to accept changes of any
itirt In our fast moving world of
today.
As he contrasted the modes of
travel of a half-century ago with
our present jet and missl^' age,
Proctor said: “People can be led
by demagogues, neurotics and
others with deep-rooted prejudices,
backward into a campaign o f
hate”; but these do not produce
the leadership needed to lift us to
higher standards of living.
The native Norfolkian, who is a
minister and teacher as weii as a
world-traveler captivated his au
dience of over six hundred eager
listeners, who, if they had any
complaint at all, it was that he
didn’t talk longer before the crowd
which contained two school su
perintendents, a college president
and city and county officials (all
white).
Proctor said that Best’s work
has caught the eye of A. and T.
College officials and that Dr. Best
lege officials and that Dr. Best
would be on /the summer school
staff to teach his Jiealth program
which is unique in this stato.
Hitting at t4ios* who would
charg* that illegitimacy and d*-
linqu*ncy along with poor hoalth
ar* racial tr,aits, Proctor said,
"Th*re is no correlation betw**n
lll*gitimacy and color; it is bo-
tw**n *ducation and povorty
(much applaus*).
Francis M. Mebane, Suggs high
school principal, Farmville, pre
sided over the program which saw
Dr. Lee W. Jenkins, president East
Carolina College (white) on hand
to greet his fellow prexy, Dr. Proc
tor. Also J. H. Rose, Supt. of
Greenville City Schools, along
with D. H. Conley, Pitt County
Schools' Siipt.
Dr. John R. Larkins, Welfare
Consultant, Raleigh, also broiight
greetings from the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare office of
Dr. Ellen Winston.
Dr. Best briefly outlined the
scope of the work being under
taken by the NCJCHC and called
tor united participation in what is
hoped will become a state-wide
health and morals program.
Music was by the Eppes school
Glee Club directed by Mrs. S. L.
Davenport. The Rev. Mr. Hershey
gave the invocation and the Rev.
C. B. Gray pronounced the bene
diction.

God.”
James Davis presided over the
program which featured a male
chorus with the the Rev. Walter
N. Phillips directing. Samuel A.
Gilliam presented the guests.
“Only a foolish human being
could think that he could get along
without relying upon God.” Dr.
Proctor declared, as he urged men
to think seriously on Apostle
Paul’s letter to the Corinthians on
his sufferings for the gospel.
New Bern CORE continues to

Jackie Robinson Gets In Plug For GOP Nomfaiee
RICHMOND, Va.-Jackie Robin

cial Freedom Fund Campaign,
strayed slightly from the NAACP’s
strict ndii-partisan line briefly to
give an oblique assist to the Re-
publici^n nominee for president in
an address before the Virginia
State NAACP Convention here last
week.
"W* should not idontify our

Though he did not mention the
name of either candidate, the con
census was that Robinson was re-
ferring to GOP hopeful Richard
Nixon when he asked for a judge
ment not based on past perform
ances of the Elsenhower adminis

Likewise, it was assumed that
he had Senator Kennedy in mind
when he asserted that a presiden

in his views.
