WN>TI5 WHtm Letter to the Editor SPIRITUAL INSIGHT Salute to ClemsMi Coll f e jpsgi sgraceful results would should feel tjijdrtWil officials, faculty jlftrf^'lsfmients of Clemson College for the -plendid manner in which it handled the en-i trance of Harvey Gantt, the first Xegro stu- ^ dent to attend that institutiini. Reports com ing from the -South Carolina educational in- 'titution reveal that it is far out in front of the Cniversitv of Mississippi and several ither southern educational in.stitutions where chaos prwailed when a Xegro student was enrolled for the fir*t time. Likewise, we feel the law ^]ii)rcenu'nt agencies of South Carti- Hna deaei^ a salute for the very efficient manner in which they hantlled the matter and helped to prevent trouble. Although the state of South Carolina has njjt accej)ted or surrendered entirely to inte gration in its public schools, its leaders have demonstrated their resjiect for the federal courts and for law and order in general. We have said again and again that only when the leaders of a state or community refuse to measure uj) to their res|)onsibility does trou-’ ble arise to the extent that it cannot be con trolled.

Tenn. tragedy and Janies Mere dith at the University of Mississippi. In the end these are the ones who must be given credit for focusing the searchlight of decency on the savagery of race hatred to the extent that it is becoming undersirable, ev^n.in the southern states. We think the students of Cletnson College who have gone out of their \yay to extend a friendly hand to the first Xegro student to enter the school should be commended. N'u doubt they will suffer some kind of reprisals from fellow students who are not yet able to adjust themselves or get in step with the onward march of freedom. We predict that: those students who are friendly toward Gantt 'during his early days of entrance at Clem son will look back on the event in the years VO come as one of the proudest mmients of their lives. Repentance is the Key to True Preaching of Jesus Christ "I (oimded tht call to r*p*nt and turn te God." Act* The preacher is primarily con cerned ebout cfilling sinners to repentance. Thu* all true preach ing must have the note of re- pintanee. Preachers are often tempted to over look or deem- phasize this basic, indispensable element in real preaching. The wayward and the sinful do not all the tjme like the call to re pentance. Men do not like to be reminded about the ruinous power of sin In the lives of us mortal, sinful beings. But God has called' and assigned the preacher this task of issuing the call toj repentance. This note must b^ sounded in the preacll- ing of ithe word of God in the critical, decisive days in which we are living. The tragic fact of human sin- fulneu demands this call to _re: pentance on the part of the preacher. Who can deny the rav aging and destructive effects of sin in the lives of us human be- injgs? How can you deny that fact of sin as you look at life around you. Everywhere you look you sea how sin has marred and dis rupted life about you. You see it tearfully in the lives of inno cent and helpless little children. You see the effects of sin in the lives of all ages. Yes, sin is real. And since sin is so tragical ly real, we must have this call to repentance on the part of the preacher. God. has given the preacher this task. How in the name of Heaven can the preach er escape the Divine Assign ment? The true preacher mu«t ever say with Paul, “I sounded the call to repent and turn to Gcd." If the preacher fails to sound the call to repentance, this im portant task will be left undone. God is' holding the preacher ac- ;ountable. And the preacher must give an account of his stc'.vardship. The natioB and iOb. dividual Christians need the call to rcpentance. Those who have turned their backs on God need to be called back to God? For he who has turned his back on God is headed for ruin and dis- The Negro Members Named to Sanfotd’s Coomittee on Nursing as a Career ■ •■W I IVIIII# VI I# I1MIIIVV IV WllfllMtiVW Anyone who mav someday “is not a substitue for fhe nro- year’s trainina. and vou (In a whole the sewn Xegrocs named by (iovenior Sanford to serve on the interracial cown^Q«, to jijji*ro«e (bt a'llihh^vmejn, Htatu«: of X'egra ciR/wt arc iib'tVut'as^ g(Jod selections as couUI be made.

The firnt. reaction received from several sources in the state was to the effect that the X CORK, the Xegro press, the legal profession and $he pulpit should have had reproentation on the committee... It is the general feeling that in most instances •hese are the .sources of influence that will ultimately have to he called on in any effort jiut forth to better the lot of the Xegro. While there may l>e .some merit to sucli an observa tion. we would fir.st like to see X'egro citizens of the state give their own rcjiresentatives on the committee a chance before any criti cism is launched in their directicm. We hav'- ■ inij»licit faith that a majority of the Negroes named by (iovernor Sanfonl will measure up tfji' the responsibility assigned to them. Likewise, we would like to see the'efforts of the governor accepted as sincere arid truly' designed to bring about a bette.r lot for the Xegro citizenry of North Carolina, which in turn is certain to bring about better condi tions for all its citizens. Our attitude in the matter, therefore, would be more of a wait and see frarne of mind than one that is anta gonistic. At least, the present governor has recognized and admitted the unfavorable ])liglit of the state’s Xegro citizens. This is decidely -more than any of his predecessors have done in the matter, and we tliink that thus far he shouhl be commended. .'\s we see it. Governor Sanford is on the right track, and if he -does not let his efforts lag he will do much to furnish the kind of leadership North Carolina has needed for nearly one hundred years.

Written by Marguerite Clark and .published today by the Kuljlic Affairs Committee, 22 fi^st 3flth Street, New York 16, W. Y., this 25 cent pamphlet traces the development of the practical nurse from an un trained, lox^. paid ‘‘attendant of the sick” to one who today is trained and licensed and ‘‘shares the care of most types of patients, and takes responsi bility for nursing many who are not in critical condition, such as new mothers and babies, the phronically ill, the convalescent and the aged.” The nursing force today, Mrs. Clark points out, is the larg est in history 504,000 RNs and 220.000 LPNs; but the esti mated current annual need is 200.000. although only some 25.000 LPNs will graduate this year. “According to th^De- partment of Labor,” she Ex plains, “the shortage of nurses stems from the rapid increase in population, the widespread interest in good health and pre vention of illness, and in the number of elderly people.” IN THE NURSE EVERY ONE NEEDS, Mrs. Clark, a free-lance writer and autl)pr of Why So Tired?, explaiiis tR6 relationship between the high ly technical respons^)ilities' of the registered nurse (RN) and the work of the licensed prac tical nurse (LPN) as well as the assistance provided by nursei’ aides. "The LPW”, it is explained. “is not a substitue for fhe pro fessional registered nurse. Both have roles in nursing in direct relation to the breadth, ^ }sngtK) care of their formal pr^aration. The Li>IN is able to give nursing care under direct supervision when the patient's needs are relative ly stabilized, and where treat ment and medication, evalua- tion and judgment, are not so complex as to require a pro found understanding of the bio logical and social sciences. At the same time, the LPN is ab>l to assist the professional nurse by working with her in com plex nursing situations requir ing skills beyond those the practical nurse has acquired. This definition makes practical nursing a distinct occupation within the nursing profession”. Whether as a potential pa tient or as a future member of the nursing team, the read er of THE NURSE EVERYONE NpEDS will be reassured by the current education and training program for pactical nurses described by Mrs. Clark and by the increasing public and professional recognition of the essential bedside nursing service given by PNs. Stressing today’s tremendous need for nursing care while there are 100 of 1,000 of high school graduates looking for Job», Mrs. Clark quotes Hilda Torrop, » founder of the National Association for Prac tical Nurse Education and Serv ice: “The thousands of young women just out of high school seeking careers, the mature men and women who must find work - these people are magni ficent potentials for the voca tion of LVN.

Some of the most succesful and respected citizens n North Carolina are men and women who, whan they were young, were recipients of aid to de pendent children grants from the county department of public welfare. One of these Is the principal of a school in a county in the western part of the State. Some of the children who are now pupils in his school come from families who are receiving aid to dependent children payments. “I find my self comparing their circum stances with my early child hood days,” said the principal. “I know that the aid to de pendent children program has helped raise the standard of living socially, economically, and morally in family groups.” The principal himself was one of four children whose father died when they were very young, leaving the mother without economic security. Their only possessions were a modest home and one acre of land. The mother tried, un successfully. to work outside of the home, but realized that the children needed her in the home and paying someone else to care for them was too ex pensive. She applied for aid to de pendent cnildren and was eligi ble to receive help. As a re sult, the children were kept in school and all w«re graduated from high school. Two of the sons drove the school bus for several years and during the summer all the children secur ed jobs. Ine eldest son enlisted in the armed services after high school graduation and made an alJjtment to his mother for three years. She then request ed termination of the aid to aepenuent children grant. When he returned home, he attended college through his G. 1 educalional grant and part- time work. After graduation he became principal of an ele mentary school and during the summers attended college and secured his M. A. degree. Now, reminiscing about his childhood, he stated that the aid to dep3ndent chi^Uiren check, though small, meant food and clothes for the child ren. He remembers the genuine interest which the caseworker showed in his family and de clared that she was alaways a welcome visitor, for whom they had great resp3ct. Paying tri bute to his mother, he stateS that she knew how to “do .the most with the least.” The other children in the family are also self-supporting tax paying citizens. This case, from the files of a county de partment of public welfare, is one of hundreds of similar cases, in which aid to depen dent children helped a ftfinily during crucial years. South Carolina Adds to its flonor year’s training, and you have a job for life, one .you can pack in your suit case and take whereever you want to go . . a job ia ready for every gradu ate of a state-approved Prac tical Nursing School on the day she gets her certificate. There are no waiting lines." The pamphlet includes speci fic information on require ments, training, and confin ing education, where to find information about schools, and so forth; also a description of the three national groups serv ing the needs of the Licensed Practical Nurse. THE NURSE EVERYONE NEED is No. 338 in the Public Affairs Pamphlet series, now in its 27th year. The series in cludes many otl^r distinguish ed titles covering health and science, family relations, so- icial and economic problems, and intergroup relations. All pamphlets sell for 25 cents -each and a list is available up on request. South Carolina in dignity add ed to its laurels as a historic state at the gates of Clemson College on Monday. When, disdaining Federal as sistance, and bowing, without -the i^ejectien of +t» own con-^ victions, to the law of the land it admitted the first Negro to any of its school without vio lence, it did not suffer humilia tion. It added to its honors. The great majority of white South Carolinians still oppose the integration of the races in the schools. Its officials have announced that they mean to continue opposition to that pro cess in the courts. But the governing forces in South Car olina, supported by the great majority of good citizens in that state, also oppose (lawless hoodlumism. They do not mean to let the good name of South Carolina be battered by •a mob. Undoubtedly there will be those in the South as well as My Friend By DON WEST My friend went away And he didn’t come back.

YES, WE ALL TALK This week let us consider the satisfaction step of a speech to convince. In this step the speaker must first show that there is a need for the pro posed course of action. He must prove that the existing evils of the • present system cannot be remedied without the pro posed change. Once the need is proved, then the speaker must argue the benefits of the proposed plan or course of action. Suppose that the proposal is that the practice of segrega tion should be abolished. First, the speaker must argue a need for a change in the system of Si?gregation by showing its in herent evils or disadvantages. Next, he must prove that the plan of integration will remedy the evils of segregation ijj pur present social order, and that this new proposal of integra tion will bring with it more benefits than evils. If he can prove this, he might say that integration is desirable or work able, etc. in the North who will see de feat for South Carolina in this situation. Nothing could be further from the truth. What South Carolina showed to America on Monday was the triumph of order qV« violence which has made this a great nation and assures its continu ing greatness at honoe and in the world. It will be easy for some to hoot at what seems to them to be South Carolina’s capitu lation. It will be easy for others to holler that it has surrendered. Actually what South Carolina has done is to denrvon Vate its magnanimity as a great American State re spectful of American law. Its triumph was not easy. Some nrvay still try to mar it. Its political leaders undoubted ly might have found them selves much more loudly popu lar at home JU tney had wink ed or connived at violence. They chose the sterner, more painful course. But in doing so, they chose also the way to the respect, honor and admiration of the South, the nation and the world.
