THE C A F O LIN A TIMES SATUkbaV t.ECE\*BC« '.'9. , i9t2- y DURHAM,, N.-.—PASi 2-A 1-; MESSAGE TO THE SENIOR SENATOR FROM LOUISIANA Raising the Economic Level of Both Races The launchinfT of a selective buying cam paign by the Negroes of Elizabeth City in an effort to secure better job upportunities ffir niembers of the race is iinclerstandable aticl to be expected. Any person who has visited Elizabeth ('ity within the ten years knows that it is abotil 50 years t 'hi!il when it comes to honest tinilTstaiiiini; between the races. Under such cfinditiims Xt'^froes have been the preatest snffcriTs al'Ui;!; with the white merchants and otlirr busiiie-.s itien who have been forced to dejiend for the most part on support from (be white popula tion when the low ec.fuuuuic lev I of the proes prfihibited them frnm rarryiii},; tlieir jiart of the consumer ponds load. If the Xeproes are si;rrcssft,il in t h e i i campaign to open up more jol)'; fur meniLers of their race the cominp ve irs are sure to result in their becotniii'jf Itijfffcr cnnsiiiners -,^nd taxpayers in the city and cniiiifv i'l wl’ich ^jliey live. If the merchants and other busi ness men of the city are smart and are not blinded by |)rejudice they wril stippnr-l the efforts of the three organizations sj)onsorinf' the campaign. One thing is crrtain no citi zens white or black will be able to i)ull their part of the load unless they can enjoy pain ful employment. The seven stores of Elizabeth City that have already hired Negroes should be back ed to the limit by members of both races as acttjally promoting the progress of the citi- 'zenry as a whole as well as that of the N’e- proes. Instead of being fearful or opposinp of the activities of the National As.sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, the Southern Christian Leader.ship Conference and other organizations that are fighting for Xcpro eipial rights the white leaders of Eliza beth (itv should throw' their arms around their officials and members and declare a holiday in their honor. The whole thing might be summed up in the f.'iinous statement of the late Booker T. W'ashinpton who once stated that "You can- niit keei> another person in a ditch unless vnu stay in there with him.” When white peo)de all over the south realize that when they make it possible for Negroes to raise their ecotfOjnilc level It raises the level rtf both races this section will at least come into its own as one of the most prosperous of the nation. God Visted the North-South Footali Classic The sports world tau"ht the so-called Christ ian world of the i^outh a lesson in interracial goodwill, brotherhood aiil American democ racy in the Xorth-South collepe all-star foot ball game played in Mi.-uni Inst .Situnlay. With only 37 seconds to play and tlu- North leading by a score of 11-7 it was VVilllie Richardson, a Negro frojn Misslssii pi. who saved the day for the' South by scoring on an ^-yard pass play. Richardsi n earliT in the game helped to tie the score 7-7 wben he grabbed a "^S-yard pass defli-cted into his hands and raced 20 yanls for tl;c South’s fir^t touchdown. Why did it have to be a Negro upon whose back the South rode to victory in the classic ? Above all why did fate decree that he should come from, of all states, Mississippi? Or w'as it the hand of God that floated across the stadium to write a message on the w’all of the South that its system of segregation has been "weighed in the balances and found wantink*’ ? These are questions over which you will need to ponder seriously as you r*ad the breath-taking fioi>|t^ -gya||j|^^rth-Sotjth Hod soi^e- ectif#^^fllaees to reveal hti w^n- and teach lessons of truth to mankind.

AMERi member Belshazzar’s feast? Thus the sports world in Miami did in football what the Christian world has not been able to do in worshi|)])ing God, and that is find a common ground or level where race or the color of one’s skin is not an important factor. We have sail in these columns before that it is a serious reflection on the kind of Christ ianity we claitn to have in the South when men of different races can climb into a prize fight ring and maul each other senseless, bash lach other to the groimd on the football field or match w'its and brawn in other sports but cannot worship God together under the same roof of a so-called Christian church. Think over this, dear Christian minister of the white church, and see if yo\i can shake it from your conscience. So we think God did visit the North-South College all-star gamA m Miami but has nevet been ins de many of our white southern churches, the rock declared ga.tes Qt He nftve an institution with such a foum)fiiAn( could' withstand the hyjx>crisyv and the rac«* jiatred that exitta in the average white Christian church of the South, SPIRITUAL INSIGHT REV.

The clti^ Letter to the Editor The Political Realignineiit In The South Back in the days when the Minnesota dele gations to the Democratic National Conven tion were leading the battle for strong civil rights planks, they had a good answer to those who ■ feared this .might ‘‘alienate the South and drive the Pixlccrats into the arms of the RepuMicatis.' "So what?" W'as their answer. “The Dixie- crats are nothing but a hindrance and an em barrassment to us, and we'd be better off without them. Let the Republicans have them and see how much good it will do them.” Now the Republicans do have them, or at least (piite a few of them. The one-party sys tem in the South is cracking, and we expect tn see it disappear in a relatively short time Who gains? The Republicans are obviously happy about the new sittiation, so we must assume they gain. The Democrats are looking forward to the realignment in terms of the prospect that they will soon be rid of some of the jMiwerful re.ictionary forces that have so long been an embarrassment to them in Con gress and in the national conventions. Neverless, the new line-ups will widen the area of choice for the American voters, and thus make future elections more meaningful We happen to believe that when the choice is clear, the American voters will be on the side of liberalism. When the liberals gain, the whole country gains. —The Minneapolis Spokesman HALF THE TIME, to they tell me, I am reasonable, but wh«t I do »bout the other half is you^ speculation. By ARTHUR J. STANLEY, Sr. So, we as members of or ganized labor and citizens of Durham, stop and consider how we will celebrate this day, and why God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Love is the most powerful dynamic in life. It leads to the reconstruction of one’s inner life and at the same time* is the most powerful motive for helpful service. Love is not .satisfied and certainly is not cnmnletp until it has expres^d it.self not merely in words and thoughts but in action and deeds.. It is through love that we are led to serve each other. Lnve in the family lends to a concern for and service on the behnll of tne othei^ members of the family. Love is the explanation of all deeds of genuine kind ness and sympathetic consldera tion. If the spirit of love, do minates our lives we will go about doing good. Why does love influence so vitally the outer life? Is it not because of its great influence on the inner life of the in dividual? In First Corinthians Paul suggests some of the characteristics of love or some of its fruits in the life of a Christian. Here are some Ingredients of love: Patience — "Love suffereth long” Kindness — ‘‘And is kind”. Generosity — "Love envieth not". Kumillty — ‘‘Love vaunteth not ttlelf, la not puffed up.’ Courtesy —> “Doth not be have itself unseemly.” Unselfishness — “Seeketh not her own.” Good Temper — “Is not easily provoked.” Guilelessness — “Thinketh no evil.” Sincerity — “Rejoiceth in the truth.” What a change would be made in our lives, both inside and outside, if they were do minated by such a “love.” ren, I recommend a book.

We All Talk I* When it comes to learning a 1an(?iini?e, we think of two wavs. The usual one. in the rase of a person’s mother ton 0iie. is thronch hearing it sonken continuously and by imliffi-'^tion. However, there is another way of learning a language, and a more scienti fic method, is through a de tailed study of each sound in the language, the grammar and syntax. Because deaf people can’t hear, or their hearing acuity Is reduced, thev do not leam to speak, or they experience mueh difficulty in learning to speak. Parents who have hard of hearing children, or deaf children, should enroll them in a preschool class for the de.-rf. There are. however, hundreds of cities and towns that do not have sueh classes or centers for the instruction of the deaf child. fof parent* bi these child Questions and Answers for Yets Hera ara Buthorititive an swers by the Vete’-ans Admin istration to questions from former servicemen and their families: Q—Who is entitled fo Ve- tenns AdminrstTatlon guard- ianshin service?
