HC CAROLINA TIMES JUNi 17, mi "THI TRUTH UNfiRiDlEO* MUST RUN UNDER ONLY ONE FLXG M in Spiecties Deftvered to Southerners addfcss tu Souihfrii tdiifaUirs crcj ill AN’aiihington on Tiiescfay hy Sec retary of Weltare Abraham Kihicoff was. not vrin. Although the address revealed noth- n^m' on the matter of segregated sch^)ol^ U the South, it did reteal a new slant in speeches dcHirereil to Southern audiences on the question. Instead of hedging on the inat- tef, Mr. Rlbicoff told his listeners in forth right terms that “the level of education of vhiie sttidents has been lowered and the level of education of Negro students has suf fered” because of southern insistence on try ing to maintain two educational s)'stems. He also stated that “many of the separate educational facilities have never been equal in quality.” As low as the level of white students,of the South is. it is plainly evident that the level of Negro students is even lower. The remarkable thing is that many southern Ne groes have come out of such schools and been able to secure master's and doctor’s degrees from some of the best colleges and universities in the nation. \\c think. ho\>’eyer, ,hat \merica ha;, now .eachcd the point in it.; developm .-nt when it i.tn ill afford to gainb’ic on ,t ysteni that vill denj* becaust of race creed or cilor the very be.st educational op|M)rtunitieb it has to offer to its humblest child. To do so is tc> take the chance that the very one who is denied such may have wrapped up in his head the answer to, the threat of communism which the nation now faces. If ^fr. Ribicoff’s address serves to help Southern leadets and educators to begin to rethink their attitude on the question of seg- 'egation in public schools and institutions of higher learning, it has served a great purpose. O.ie thing is cettain. as Mr. Ribicoff brought out; the South cannot catch up or keep pace with the present development and demands in education so long as it is burdened down with trying to support two educational sys tems. It is our hope tTiat Southern leaders will see the error of their ways and begin now to abolish the dual system in education that is so costly and hampering the students of both races in all Southern schools. We Propose a Negro Grandma Day, Too The second Sunday in May each year we pause to pay tribute to Mother. Certainly no j>erson of sound judgement would wish to decry the tribute which mother so justly deserves for the many sacrifices she often has to make to bring her children up as respect able young men and women. t)n the third Sunday In June each year we will pause again to pay tribute to father, and rii^'itly so, for so often it is Pa, dad, the old man, father, or whatever you wish to call him, who is just as faithful and sacrificial in providing for the members of the family as mother.' We think, however, tfcere is yet an unsung hero or heroine, . especially among Negro families, whose devotion, patience, loyalty and love should be extolled or placed beside that of mother and father as being just as great and sometimes even greater, and that is grandma. Unlike white parents whose eco- Bomic level permits them to hire a governess Who Won the Civil War? The current southern preoccupation with the Civil War received another boost with the issue of a 40. page publication entitled "The War of 1861-186S” by the Richmond Tim«s-Dispatch and the Richmond News Leader. It went on sale in Durham this week for twenty-five cents. The publication, whose front cover is deco rated \vith a blue and red color page of the Confederate Stars and Bars and with scenes repressnting the two armies in battle and pictures of Generals Grant and Lee, contains a story' of the war by Clifford Dowdy and articles bjr Bruce Catton and Douglas S. Freeman. Only a casual reading of the report of the war by Mr. Dowdy will leave the reader con vinced that the South, like Germany in World War I, was not really defeated in the field by the Union Army, but simply got tired and quit. We had always thought the Union army ,’on the \^aji;,ofi the iatHefiel^- j ipfl certaiiily does not enhance the meailhig of that description. or nurse^to care for the young children while mother, works, the Negro parents are often forced to call on grandma to take over. As result thtre is hardly a Negro family of any consequence or worth in America that cannot point to the fact that they could not have made it >iad it not been for the assistance grandma contributed in tnaking it possiblfe for mother to go to work to help with the family budget while the children were yet young. In fact, the actual rearing or upbringing of many Negro youngsters has often been left entirely up to grandma, who, after Struggling aS a mothfer to get her own brood up to manhood and womanhood, has often been forced, because of a broken home, financial tii'ctJmstances or death of one or both ■ patents, to take over and bring up a second brood, her grandchildren. So while they are paying tribute to mpther and father thiij year, this newspaper would like to ask that just a small amount of it in Negro families be reserved for dear old grand ma, wro patiently and without complaining or pay has not only made it pbsSibre for so many of us to make ^Cnds meet and to bring our children into respectably, and useful man hood and wSniaffti6l)fl. ' • Maybe there is no room for the dedication of another to one so deserving. As she sits upstairs or in the backroom while the rest of the family enjbys the modern gadgets such as the radio, television, the family car and other conveniehces, let us not forget that had it not been for grandma that mother would not 'fiSve Been able To'leave the Home and go to work to help pa with the family budget. Certainly, the merchants will give no hand to popularize such a day, because grandma wants so little in ihdes, clothing, hats, .etc., it just would not pay. We think, however, she deserves just as great a tribute. We trust that someday the Negro people of America will take time out to give proper recognition ^ tQ^ grandma, who so often has done double ^lijjtj^gij^l||j^other in oirder that her children (lOMIA Why Not An American ..Negro As A Rwlng Ambassador SPIRITUAL INSIGHT By REV. HARdii) ROiilfo Only When Man Becomes Humble Is He Fit to Do The Lord's Work Serving th« Lord with humility. Acts. 20:19 True humility is the quality of lofty, noble souls. Some call it weakness, but humility is true greatness. The world struts in pride and arrogance. Spiritual greatness walks clothed in the garments of humility. Pride rightly, therefore is called the chief of all sins. Christ pre-eminently portrayed the grace of humility. It marked his journey from the simplicity of the cradle to the lonely agony of Calvary’s Cross. Paul, there fore, reminds the members of the Christian band at Ephesus how he had striven or made ^ noble effort at serving the Lord with humility. Amid pride and sin he tried to walk in the graciousnnes of true humility. It is hard at times o so live among prideful and sinful men. But this grace of humility is absolutely necessary for those of us who would live as Jesus would have us live in this world of pride and sin. How can you foiiow God'* will without the grace of humility? Hew can you walk with Christ, the Master, in the lowhf w4yt of torviea without it? How can you bo tho loving person th« Master wants, without the grace of hu* milify? True Christian leadership must be clothed In Ihls spiritual garment. Clothed in the graee of humil ity you can win, save, heal, and restore your fellowmen. The at huirfilktr.l^.,)'^ 4a«fii drawing power. Walk Iri'th^ Mas ter’s spirit of humility and He will do the drawing. Christ can use humble souls to win sinners to His way. The humble cdn be of great service in the Lord to bring health and healing to the sick. The huihble can do much in the restoration of lost sheep to the fold of the Master. Countless souls, clothed in the winsome garments df hu mility have done much to rescue the perishing, and care for the dying. Christ gives power to the hum ble. The proud, on the other hand, are denied the blessings of our loving and redeeming Savior .... “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humUew*’ Then let ns humble ourselves that we may hecoitie mighty servant! of the Lord. prideful and' Arrogant eneihy of Christ and his cause. Jn his humility on tfafe highway at high noon he had become a great,' loving servant of the Lord. Foi sOKij strange reasi.n. er- ery n»>w and then a sublie ef fort IS n.ade through th-i col- uriis of various newspapers and national magazines, to convey the idea that the leaders of Asia arid Africa have expressed an opinion that these countries do not look with favor upon the United States sending American Negro representatives to their reopective countries. It is a fact that prior to the emancipation of many of the en slaved people of these regions, the Colonial powers, under whom these people were dominated, persistently made it known that they, the Colonial powers, would not issue visas to American Ne groes regardless of their quali fications to enter these areas. Their reason seemed to be pre dicated upon the fact that the American Negroes were not "qualified” to render a “satisfac tory” contribution to the raspect- ice countries. ^ Evidently the people who are making the announcements to’l y are taking notes froni official opinions that were expressed hy the British, French, Dutch. Port uguese,- South African and Bel gian rulers at the tim'! they con trolled and directed the official policies of their respective Colo nies. Within the last six months, 1 have visited 17 foreign countries of Asia and Africa, at which time I talked with the Nationals of these regions in every walk of life, including the President, Prime Minister, public officials, repotrers, labor leaders, and just plain people, and at noj time have I heard an Asian or African express an opinion which would indicate that the people of these areas looked with disfavor upon an Ainerican Negro representing the United States in their coun try. As a matter of fact, an offi cial of one of the largest Asian countries said to be in Novem ber, I960, “The people of my country are always happy to have visitors, but we are ten times happier to have an American Negro come to our country.” The courtesies extended me by arid at tiie )>an)«! tinic maiiltaxuad a jJbiition ill ihest countries that was opposite that ot the Ugly Americaii. ‘ For a huiidred years my grand parents and parents- have at tempted to serve thf best in terest of the United States thru their loyalty and dedication to the principles as enunciated in the Bill of Rights and the Con stitution, and we regard it an affront to our loyalty and de cency to be told that the people of Asia and Africa resent tha idea of American Negroes be ing sent to their countries at representatives of the United States. Within the last twelve years, there have been more than 26 Afian and African nations that ha\ie won their freedom from European imperialism. If any of these newly independent leaden of Asia and Africa have fexpres*- ed their resentment to qualified American Negroes being sent their countries to represent United States, I wish to call u||l^ the State Department to ma|(« known the names of such lex ers, so that appropriate conai'dir- ation may be taken by tho^^'iif us who gladly share our interfft, loans, slirplus, food, and ot^t materials to assist them in devil- oping their countries. Despite the innuendo and suits which oeeasionally attempt to represent the views of thi people of the world regardinl the American Negro, it is niy considered opinion that such an outstanding leader like Dr. Mor- decai W. Johnson is competent to represent America at its beat as a few white American coul(i do. It appears that the present Administration in its New Froit- tier policy is seeking, to tap tht reservoir of goodwill towards th# U. S. A. throughout the world by sending such Roving Ambas sadors as Mr. G. Mennen Wil liams, Mr. Averrell Harriman and Mr. Adlai Stevenson. How ever, why not also add the nanla of the former President of HoW» ard University, Dr. Mordecai Jolinson, to the list of RoviQ| Ambassadors of the United the leaders of these Asian-Afr^ ^ States.

C. —If a mother notices her baby vomit ing bile-stained material with any degree of persistency, she should notify her phsician immediately. The child’s life may depend upon prompt action by the mother and Physician. Serious gastro-intestinal prob- ;ms occur with .jrelatiye.fre^ue^- entTfelS'. The mother's first clue indicat. ing trouble may be found in ob serving f.hat In general, the baby fust isn't doing well. He may not eat well'; has become restless and perhaps irri'.'able, and he may have vomitsd. Then* are car dinal signs, but they do not for- tell the seriousness of the mal ady. It is of major significance, however, for the mother to make the most of theSe minor inter ludes and alert the family phy sician concerning her observa tions. For, according to Doctors E. Perry Crump and T. M. Camp bell, writing in the current issue ofthe National Medical Associa tion Journal, through early diag nosis and prompt surgical inter vention, the survival rate is high in those gastro-intestinal condi tions which are incompatible with life without sitfgery. On the other hand, undue: de lay for any cause will raise the mortality rate to a considerable degree. Due to the fact that some of these gastro-intestinal distur- ces inplude vomiting, abdominal distention, and in some entities an abdominal mass in palpated. Because vomiting occurs so commonly in the young infant, interpretation of its significance is difficult unless it is associat ed with other findings.
