""'"UL Bk 1962 NAACP Amiiai Session THE CHAILENGE PROM MlSSlSSim MUST Bt MET, MR. PRESIDENT ^ t'l dfcision of the National Association he AdAT(ncement of Colored People to its 1%2 convention in Atlanta, Georgia, neet the approval of a majority of south- Cegro leaders. TTiis eptire section of the n.TV. especially what is known as the deep stands to benefit from the impact of \AACP’s annual session which here-nf- has prown to jfiefantic proportions* in ' and inflnence. To hold an annttal session I'e heart of the deep South, we. think, is onlv a wise decision l)nt Erool strategy, , ere are millions of u'hite southerners who been )e»l to believe the X.^.XCP to be an lization seeking to destroy the ,Soiith, in reality it has done iiiare to save this tinn of the country than other institution I. now of. Certaiiily if .\merican democracy to have influence ainone: other nations of ■ vorld we must first learn to pijactice it ■ng our own people -of all races, creeds 'olors. ^ inp-ing the 1962 annual session of the kCP to Georgia will give the entire South -iportunity to get a close-up view of the nization and dispel the mistaken idea of f southerners that the Jv.X.-KCP is merely a n'tbhle-rouser or trouble maker. It will also be beneficial to many Negroes of the 5>outh wht^^ have half-heartedly supported the or- ganiZjation or followed its program from atar. \V! think the time is not too far away when* the N.^.^CP will even find it wise to move its headquarters to the South. There was a time when, probably, it was considered for the ^est interest of concerned to have the NA.4CP national office o'utside the South. In spite [of the great work the organization has done to preserve democracy in this coun try, it is (T^ir honest opinion that it could do a much I»etter job if the main office were located in the Section of the country where a mai«rity ,of Negroes live and where the race ])fobJems exist. ^ We commend the leaders of the NAACF for the decision it has iliade for its l‘X)2 an nual ses.sion. It is our feeling that not only will it benefit the organisation and the Ne- poes of the South but many white people who for the first time will get an opportunity to observe first-hand and the great work N.\ACP is doing for the entire country, and especially the South. We congratulate the rsspectable peopl# of Welcome and Goodbye, Conservative Party e ccmgratulate the respectable people of lam for staying away in droves from the It meeting of the so-called Conservative v htld at the Durham County Courthouse, lite of the beating of drums, the bushes the securing of the spacious Superior itroom auditorium to take care of an ipated overflow growd. only about SO -ns showed up. Add to this the row after of empty seats, tlie lack of intelligence ).>ited by the leaders and one- is com- 1 to declare the Conservative P^rty ing in Durham a complete flop. The gath- •• has been befittingly labeled by several eting of the Skunkservative -Party, owt the only bright spot of the entire I ing was the role played by Mayor E. J. - IS who. as Durham’s first citizen, extend- ■elcome on tSieftalf of the people of Dur ham to those who were present. Being mayor of a city must be at times a difficult task, especially when one is called on to play the role the mayor had at the Conservative Party meeting. Certain leaders of the group are known to be atiti-Jewish. anti-Negro and anti- everything *eJse that makes for progress in race relations in Durham. We. therefore, salute Mayor Evans for being broad enough i» his official capacity as Durham’s first citizen to welcome the Conser vative Party to the city. How he did the job without holding his nose, we think, is not only commendable but praiseworthy. Now that the mayor, as well as other respectable citizens of DAham, have welcomed the Con servative Party, it is timely to say goodbye and, we hope, good riddance. The Resignation of Dr. F. L. Atl(ins The announcement of the resigna^ioa of Dl^. Atkins as president of Winston-S^etn "vi'hers 'Collepe will be viewed by all those ,arc acqtiainted with Dr. Atkins and the •c record he has made as head of the school regret but understanding. That he is re- ing.from the active presidency while he is able to giye his successor the benefit of ,|xperience and counsel should be fortunate r hoth the College and its next president, ’•c tremendous responsibility of nmning an dr«ational institution i^ most demanding on ’.e strength and energy of a young man. to •y nothing of one who is nearing the three 'nre and ten mark. We commend Dr. At- ns for having the wisdom to tender his •'■gnation at the ascendancy of his admin- tration. ’^r. -Atkins’ resignation as president of ■'STC rings down the curtain on a name in ■rrci,*dtic'ati^n ip ?^orth Carolina thait spaips! trijf thfee-iuarter* of a century. His' father, .» late Dr. S. G. .\tkins, founded the school I 1892. Skice that time the Atkins name ^5 stood out in North Carolina as synony- ic IS to Negro ediKation. Dr. S. G. .Atkins, r, E. E. Smith, early president of Fayette ville State Teachers College at FayetteyiH.e^ Df, JSmes B. Dudley, early -president -of and T. College, Greensboro and Dr. James E. Shepard, founder of Nojth Carolina College at Durham, constituted the "big fouf” in Negr'o education of North Carolina. The vacancy created by Dr. Atkins’ resig nation reminds all of -those interested in edu cation of the scarcity of competent men to h««d N«gro «ducational-institutions. It is ow hope that the WSTC Board of Trustees will k>ok far and near with care and diligence before naming a successor to Dr. Atkins. Its members should take into consideration that times have changed considerably within the last ten years, and that no Negro leader, whether educator, minister, laborer or busi ness man, can successfully head anything for the race who is not a man with the courage of his convictions. The idea^that a Negro college president is ijp^.^.’cptc^d^^o take an active part in the clvrc and national affairs of the race, includ ing the program of the NAi\CP, is decidedly antiquated. Such a man, if he is placed at the head of a Negro college,, may be vested with the authority of president, but he will (Continued on page 4-A) Thugs Ton Knoir • • • A Nf IV HE ORAOUATED FROM ETON J l£y.EWOLAND/-TO BECOME A BEPWESEWT/TIVE FBOM S, •THE WHITE MEN OF THIS STATE HAVE A Rionr -nOREsoQT 10 ANY MEANS AT THBR COMMAND ID 97DP NEGROES f^REMACV Veterans Questibns and Answers SPIRITUAL INSIGHT (T By REV.

ANDREW OAULDEN Q^it^ a few Southerners ,i>ave expressed strong resentment over a so-called inflanrtnatorv film about sepretrtinnf recentlv tele vised by the Britisns^roadcasting Corn. The film. “Who Sneaks for the South?” had to do with race re lations in Birmingham and is con sidered' bv manv nrnminent South- ernenrs as h'ohlv preludieed. The writer hasn’t seen- the film and fhus cannot comment on the merit" of the rriticism against It, hut it does brinw up the nues- tion. “How should th# South spenk for itself?” The oueotion is hiahlv (mpor- tant at this time, for annaretitlv whatever the outside communi cation a»encies do is never auite rif'ht. The race oroblem is touati and Pettini? toucher. Tf the South’s storv isn’t being told vroMT^ «^at Is being dot\e abont it?

We must endure trials but God’s promised power will carry u* through suosessfully. There is victory for those who walk in the way of tlw father’s wll. Countless souls have walked the way of trials to great and glorious victories. Here we have revealed the dramatic -'glory of the followers of Christ or these two thousand years; they have become the victors in spite of their trials. We could call the roll of this great cloud of wit- nessps. Jesus, the Son of God, our Savior leads the processiop. And I h«ar Jesus speaking to s&g- gling souls now for some J.wp thousand years. “In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” We must enter into life abun dant and eternal through the way that is beset with many trials.
